Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

Thus, Udinese is now the leader of the Italian League. Their comeback against Parma was incredible. I have not seen such a good comeback in recent years.

Udinese got the benefit of the red card, Parma really crumbled upon that, even if we don't consider that as decisive there are plenty of far greater comebacks not in years but just months ago, Bournemouth scoring 4 goals after being led with 3-0 is just one of the examples. Also seem like every bookie downplays the play of Udine quite heavily, I'm looking at the next match odds, and despite Roma not having at all a good start Udine is 5.4 for a win
If there are truly Idnese fans around and they believe those 3 wins were not a fluke a x5.4 gain is way too tempting!

If I remember correctly, at the start of last season Udinese also performed quite well which made Udinese compete closely with several other strong clubs ranked in the top 4 at that time.

Udinese didn't win till round 11 in the last championship, they haven't had a great start at all and things didn't change at all for all season.

It is very true that Roma management must admit their mistake in firing Mourinho and replacing him with De Rossi. In fact, with the mediocre squad Roma would not have been able to compete at the top, but at least under Mourinho's control the team is slightly better and the Conference League title has raised the club's prestige in Europe. Now De Rossi's performance is back in the spotlight because he failed to get maximum points, I am very pessimistic about the team he is currently managing and it is likely that he will resign before the season ends.

In football, things change very quickly for head coaches. Jose Mourinho used to be super excited welcome by Roma fans years ago and with his first two seasons there, they considered Jose as a savior with two final matches in Europe, one in Conference League where they won and lifted that trophy; and another one in Europa League where they failed under Sevilla in penalty shoot-outs. Only one season after that, Jose was fired when he did not have too bad performances with Roma. This decision shocked many people including Mourinho and De Rossi came to replace Jose temporarily.

Last season, Daniele succeeded with his mission but at the season ending, results are not better than what Mourinho did, if not saying a little bit worse. However Daniele received a lot of positive comment on what he did, I don't judge it is accurate or inaccurate, but life is tough, and in this season, Daniele De Rossi and Roma begin it very badly. No winning after first four matches in Serie A is very bad beginning for them.

Big week ahead with Juventus Napoli and Inter Milan

Of course, it is a big weekend and I am so excited because this week is an interesting week because we have the UCL matches with two big clubs an d the weekend with these two big matches. Juventus and Napoli match is what I cannot predict because Juventus started the season inba winning streak but have drawn their last two matches.

Napoli is first on the table and they have won their last two matches with Lukaku scoring two goals in both matches. This shows that the team is in a good form currently which gives them a good advantage over Juventus.

Inter will always win Milan and I don't know how Milan will escape defeat this time around because they are still struggling with putting the team in a good form.

Big week ahead with Juventus Napoli and Inter Milan

Two matches that will get a lot of attention in the 5th week

Juventus vs Napoli
Inter Milan vs AC Milan

Before the season started, these 4 teams were strong candidates to win the Scudetto this season, but their performance in the previous 4 weeks varied greatly. I mean, none of these 4 teams really looked convincing, because in reality, Udinese is currently leading the standings. On paper, victory tends to side with Inter Milan and Juventus, of course I don't mean to underestimate Napoli and AC Milan.

Actually, this is a good opportunity for Napoli to take over the top of the standings by taking advantage of Juventus tight match schedule in the Champions League, regardless of the result of the match between Inter Milan versus AC Milan. We know that Udinese will face AS Roma, which in fact has almost the same strength, where their match has the potential to end in a draw. Conte certainly sees the opportunity, and we'll see if Napoli can do it.

In today's match between Lazio vs Verona, Lazio team won the match by scoring 2 goals. On the other hand, Verona team scored 1 goal. If Verona team could have scored one more goal in today's match, the match would have been a draw, but Verona failed to do so, for which Lazio team won the match. Lazio team players  B. Dia scored the 1st goal at 5 minutes and V. Castellanos scored the 2nd goal at 20 minutes.

Big week ahead with Juventus Napoli and Inter Milan

Juventus vs Napoli will be quite an interesting match considering the head to head of the two teams which have been quite balanced so far, so I think the match will be a  interesting match, both teams this season have made many significant changes including the change of coach they has made, so it can be said that the match will be a real test for the two coaches in proving their ability,  But I personally tend to see that the match will be very tight and Juventus will win the match with a score of 1-0 over Napoli.

While the other most interesting match is of course the Milan derby which occurred earlier this season, last season Intermilan was able to win two perfect victories over Milan and if you look at the performance and consistency that Inter Milan has this season, it is likely that they can still continue that the positive trend in the match, Both teams are currently going through a crucial match in the Champions League and obviously it will drain the stamina of their players later because of the little rest time they have, but if you look at Milan who have not found their best form so far with Fonsesca, then I am quite sure that Intermilan will continue their dominance over Milan later.

In today's match between Lazio vs Verona, Lazio team won the match by scoring 2 goals. On the other hand, Verona team scored 1 goal. If Verona team could have scored one more goal in today's match, the match would have been a draw, but Verona failed to do so, for which Lazio team won the match. Lazio team players  B. Dia scored the 1st goal at 5 minutes and V. Castellanos scored the 2nd goal at 20 minutes.

This is because of their good perform but I was preferring Verona more and found their performance more impressive.  The way Verona effort and position was seen, their players could have won the match.  Verona should have won this match if they had score 1 more goal, the match would have been a draw and it would not have hurt Verona.  I see Verona weak in this because in the match where you will see their hard work and effort they have score most of the goals and score first but they will lose this match against Lazio.  This proves how fast and strong their players are.

Thus, Udinese is now the leader of the Italian League. Their comeback against Parma was incredible. I have not seen such a good comeback in recent years. It seems like they deserve to be the leader right now. I think Udinese has been playing well for two years. If they can continue their form at the beginning of this year, they can take part in European cups next year. As for the championship, I can say that their chances are low, to be realistic.

I find it hard to believe Udinese has made it to the top of the league, it's amazing for a team that finished 15th last season and is now leading the league with 10 points. However, this isn't the only team that has made such a comeback this season, If you remember Bournemouth comeback against Everton in the Premier League, they scored three goals in less than 15 minutes before stoppage time, I believe that was the best comeback of the season because Parma players were sent off in the 73 minutes of the game, and Udinese took advantage of the chance to play against ten men to score the winning goal four minutes later.

Although we cannot underestimate any team this season, the top teams that consistently win the league are concentrating on their Champions League matches, I won't be shocked if Udinese finishes in the top four. As for their chances of winning the league, we can't say that yet because the season is only getting started.

In today's match between Lazio vs Verona, Lazio team won the match by scoring 2 goals. On the other hand, Verona team scored 1 goal. If Verona team could have scored one more goal in today's match, the match would have been a draw, but Verona failed to do so, for which Lazio team won the match. Lazio team players  B. Dia scored the 1st goal at 5 minutes and V. Castellanos scored the 2nd goal at 20 minutes.

This is because of their good perform but I was preferring Verona more and found their performance more impressive.  The way Verona effort and position was seen, their players could have won the match.  Verona should have won this match if they had score 1 more goal, the match would have been a draw and it would not have hurt Verona.  I see Verona weak in this because in the match where you will see their hard work and effort they have score most of the goals and score first but they will lose this match against Lazio.  This proves how fast and strong their players are.

This match had a quick goal that happened in the first half but unfortunately, after creating three goals in the first half but they did not score any more goals in the second half until the match still ended with a score of 2-1. But regardless of the results, I personally think that Lazio and Verona have quality and or levels that are not much different,so it is not surprising that they look equally strong in the match that ended with Lazio's  victory. But indeed,  basically Lazio has always been a difficult opponent for Verona because after all, based on the head to head record, Verona has always found it difficult to beat Lazio, and a good result for Verona is a draw.

For me personally,  I still choose or bet on Lazio to win this match but to be honest, I also bet on Parma in the  match between Parma v Udinese but unfortunately, Parma failed to maintain the victory they had in the first half with a score of 2-0.Because after all,in the second half Udinese managed to make a comeback by scoring three goals and making Parma lose again even though in reality Parma is not bad as a promotion team.

At the end of the first half, Parma was leading 2-0. This team played well in the first half. But even then the Parma team failed to win the match in the end. Udinese were in good form. Despite not winning by a big margin, this team performed very well in the previous matches. Still after going down 2-0 against Parma I thought Parma would win this match and Udinese would suffer their first defeat.

But Udinese performed very well in the second half. Several strong attacks were made by Udinese players. Parma, on the other hand, conceded three goals in the second half despite playing defensive tactics. Udinese are now top of the table. The team is 1 point ahead of Napoli and 2 points ahead of Inter Milan.

It was definitely a huge game from Udinese, they played like a very big club and managed to make a come back, I did not expected them to make that kind of comeback at all and they are really looking good. If they played every game like that second half then they would have done very well and that is why I think it's clear that we are going to see them finish not that bad.

Of course just because of one game we can't decide what they are going to do, but that doesn't mean that we are going to end up with Udinese at a high level, but if they can just keep this momentum going, I am sure they will finish above what people gave them credit for, which is very important for any team. I am sure that it's going to be very important win for Udinese and their entire season, at least about their morale it will definitely be a good one.

When Daniele De Rossi was appointed as the manager of AS Roma last season, the Italian manager was quick to improve the performance of the team which made many believe that sacking Jose Mourinho and appointing De was a good decision but regrettably, Roma since the start of the season have been absolutely poor with their performances and result which have left them in the bottom five of the league table. Though we're still in the first six weeks of the new Italian Serie A but I strongly doubt that Roma will finish the season in the top 6 of the league table of De Rossi continues to manage the club

De Rossi really succeeded in making Roma achieve good results last season. But all of that seemed to be just because at that time he was only continuing the squad that Mourinho had built. So it seems like last season's good results were only because he continued Mourinho's work. But this season he is rebuilding the Roma squad. some players left and some new players were added. But it seems the results are not what everyone expected. We know everyone seems to be expecting too much from De Rossi in Roma. And now everyone must realize that De Rossi is only a young coach who still has a lot to learn in handling a big team. Even though Roma may not have even won once, I think De Rossi will slowly make improvements. But I also doubt that I will see Roma ranked in the top 6 like last season.

De Rossi is a young coach and when Mourinho was coaching the other teams, De Rossi was still a player but even with his young age, this inexperienced coach had an amazing performance in Roma. De Rossi was really successful for Roma. the moment when he joined Roma they did not have a good situation and the whole team was in the bad form because of the bad atmosphere in Roma, people were saying if Mourinho couldn't help Roma to get improve even after the player the player he bought for this team how a young coach like De Rossi can help them? but he made it and thanks to De Rossi and the changes he made, they have a much better team.
