Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[len01]

But when it comes to the Juventus - Napoli one, it is tough to predict... Both sides started strong. Juventus didn't even concede a single goal in 4 games so far. I think they won't lose. And maybe I might give under 2.5 goals a chance.

Are you going to bet under 2.5 on Juventus win or bet on the overall total? If you bet on under 2.5 on Juventus win, you will definitely get very small odds around @1.12. But if you bet on asian total under 2.5, you still get pretty big odds.

IMO, the Juventus vs Napoli match is actually a bit difficult to predict because Juventus attack line is a bit weak and only relies on a strong defense. On the one hand, Napoli defense and attack line look inconsistent. Maybe I will take a big risk betting on over 2.5 to get odds @2.18

The tactics of Paulo Fonseca are indeed quite bad, when they were already ahead by 1 goal at the beginning of the match, AC Milan's game was not so calm and I even saw that their team's game was not well organized in all lines so that Liverpool was able to control the match so that they were able to turn things around.
Now the one responsible is Paulo Fonseca, he still has not been able to improve the performance of the AC Milan team and indeed not only when playing against Liverpool, the AC Milan team played badly but in the Serie A match, AC Milan's performance is still quite bad now.

After Milan scored an early goal they decided that the best solution would be to try to hold on to the score, but Liverpool started to apply pressure and Milan couldn't even get away from their goal for long. Liverpool's superiority was too significant, and I don't want to rush to conclusions, but Milan's next match will be with Inter, in which they may well end up without points again, and their next match in the Champions League will be away from Bayer, if these matches turn out to be similarly disastrous for them, then everything may end badly for Fonseca.

The first match of this week in the Italian Serie A League will be played between Cagliari and Empoli. Cagliari are one of the weakest teams in the league. They are yet to win this season. At home they drew with Roma and Como. But they are bad when it comes to scoring. On the other hand, Empoli have had a great start to the new season. Last season they stayed in the league with a win in the last game. This season they have turned into a better team. I see Empoli as the favorites in this match. There could be a surprise result. But Empoli will win this match. The odds for Empoli to win are also good. It's worth the risk.

Will I say that Milan is in their doom days if they don't fire Fonseca because I don't see any improvement from the club since they lack having a good and experienced coach. Milan wasn't like this last season and I'm wondering why the high level of poor performance this season to the point that they find it difficult to win matches.

Imagine Milan does not have hope of survival in tgeir UCL group because they lack creativity and good strategy. They scored first before Liverpool but Liverpool was able to make a come back and scored three goals from one goal down. It is a shame on Fonseca because I know that the players are very good but lack someone to manage them and bring out the best in them.

Well I agree with you maybe Roma's decision was too hasty in firing De Rossi but I think it was the right decision because this is just the beginning of the season and the new manager will take over to fix Roma's wrong performance rather than waiting too long if the results do not improve Roma will be even more depressed and it will be even more difficult for the new coach to handle it so the management is just trying the best for their team I'm sure they have considered carefully before giving De Rossi a chance this season because the results are not as they want they don't want to waste a lot of time.

Maybe one of the reasons they were in a hurry to fire De Rossi was this. Namely they don't want to waste more time. Because it looks like Roma is very ambitious to get good results this season too. And Roma also seems to have made quite thorough preparations before firing De Rossi. Because after a while they fired De Rossi and it turned out they immediately made an agreement with their new coach, Ivan Juric. Which indicates that Roma already had plans to fire De Rossi even earlier. but the problem is that Roma seems to be biding their time until they are close to making a deal with Ivan Juric.

It's just that the problem here is that Roma also took a big risk by replacing De Rossi with Ivan Juric. Because we also never know whether Ivan Juric will be able to take Roma in a better direction. Or it could actually make Rome worse. But let's just see how it turns out. And maybe Ivan Juric's debut as Roma's new coach will take place this week against Udinese.

It is likely that the next coach to be sacked in Serie A is fonsesca and it seems inevitable after Milan failure in the Champions League match yesterday.

Well, based on these events, I don't know what to tell you, because obviously things are different when we deal with them very externally. The teams make their decisions, and if they are now going to choose to fire their coach and find others, for me this should have been done before the start of Serie A. Serie A always gives something to talk about and I think that is something very unpleasant, because now that implies a period of adaptation for both players and coaches, and that can obviously affect the performance of the teams, and this causes the level to drop and they lose points, of course that is my point of view.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic to Milan boss Paulo Fonseca: “Who did you coach?”

According to the details revealed by La Gazzetta dello Sport via Milan News, Milan’s club advisor Zlatan Ibrahimovic has shared a lukewarm relationship with new head coach Paulo Fonseca since the Portuguese manager’s appointment was confirmed.

The Swedish veteran questioned Fonseca’s achievements in the coaching sphere and asked him: “Who did you coach?”. This remark sparked an internal controversy amongst the Rossoneri headquarters and the slow start to the new season further deteriorated the relationship between the two.

The fact that someone as iconic as Zlatan says this is quite Strong , Fonseca is a guy who must have a great armor to be Criticized so much.

Maybe Fonseca has been given an ultimatum and only given a chance in a few more matches. I am not sure if Milan will return to a better path, even I see the slump will get worse. The next match is against Inter and I think it is a very tough opponent for Milan, most likely the Rossoneri will lose points again making it difficult for them to compete for the top of the standings. In the last four matches Milan has only been able to collect one win, two draws and one loss and that is not an achievement for a team like Milan.

Before the start of the season, we all thought that Inter Milan would be at the top of the points table from the beginning, but the team that was not discussed is occupying the number one position of the points table at the beginning of the season.  

We haven't seen Udinese perform very well all other seasons so naturally we don't have much room to discuss this team. It is easy to hold on to the top position of the points table by performing well in a few matches at the beginning of the season but it is very difficult to maintain the consistency of this performance. In the end it looks like Inter Milan will be champions of the Italian league again this season like last season.

Indeed, unexpectedly, Udinese is still unbeaten in Serie A. And Udinese has a record of 3 wins and 1 draw which makes them have 10 points which makes them at the top of the Serie A standings at the moment. But the most difficult challenge is actually maintaining consistency in the results of the matches they will play throughout this season. because one defeat will cause Udinese to be thrown straight to 4th or 5th place. So at the start of the season no one is completely safe at the top. Because changes will continue to occur. But it would be very surprising if Udinese continued to be at the top of the standings by continuing to win every match they faced. This will immediately remind us of Napoli who have also done this.

Roma was disappointed recently and they couldn't get good results which made the team unhappy and they decided to get De Rossi fired from this team. Roma changed many coaches and they were unstable because of the bad performance they got, first, they got Hurinho fired, and then De Rossi.
We know De Rossi was famous and he had a good performance in Roma once he joined there.

Roma sacking De Rossi after just four games shows how serious they're ready for this season. He hasn't done well and deserved to leave the club. He can't take over a club and not give them good results when it was bad results that made the last manager to get sacked. Drawing against Genoa was his last game and he didn't win that one. Those individuals saying he should have been given some time, why waste the manager time when he'll still be sacked later. It's better he gets sacked early so the team can get a new manager that they can work well with the rest team for the rest of the season and start to get results before it gets too late to catch up with other teams.

The decision to sack Rossi shows that Roma is not a serious club. They renewed his contract 6 months ago. They spent over a hundred million to build his team in the last transfer window. They sacked him after a few losses. Then they got a middle-tier coach (which is a downgrade) to replace him. It's no way for them to be called a serious club.

Roma should have judged Rossi's performance at season's end. Sacking him now proves this club is terrible.

The first match of this week in the Italian Serie A League will be played between Cagliari and Empoli. Cagliari are one of the weakest teams in the league. They are yet to win this season. At home they drew with Roma and Como. But they are bad when it comes to scoring. On the other hand, Empoli have had a great start to the new season. Last season they stayed in the league with a win in the last game. This season they have turned into a better team. I see Empoli as the favorites in this match. There could be a surprise result. But Empoli will win this match. The odds for Empoli to win are also good. It's worth the risk.

Yes indeed, Cagliari only have two draws and two losses so far in Serie A, while Empoli managed three draws and one win. Thus, Empoli still has a chance to win but even so, at least if we consider the odds available, the fact is that Empoli is not entirely favored. But indeed, if you are sure that Empoli will win this match, then of course you will also get decent odds in the range of 3.50, it is clear that those are good odds.

However, if we also consider their head to head results, at least the draw is also quite dominant. Thus, I think even though Empoli managed to start this season well, it does not mean that Empoli will easily beat Cagliari. Because anyway,  because Cagliari will play at home, it is quite possible for Cagliari to get points in this match and thus, a draw seems to be still possible.

According to some media they already have on their radar 2 important coaches actually jobless.

Allegri or Sarri could be the coach of Milan next week, bigger chances for Sarri.

In the end it looks like Inter Milan will be champions of the Italian league again this season like last season.

Intermilan is the defending champion in Serie A this season after they won the scudetto last season, the consistency and ability possessed by Intermilan last season certainly makes them remain the favorite to win this season, they only got two defeats throughout last season and that makes them still the favorite this season, the match at the beginning of the season cannot be used as a reference and although Intermilan failed to be at the top of the standings at the moment, but they are still a strong candidat to end the season at the top of the Serie A standings later, Udinese so far quite surprised us because they managed to be at the top of the standings, but what we are asking now is whether they will still be able to maintain it until the end of the season?
I personally am of course not sure if Udinese can surprise all of us and sooner or later of course we will see Udinese return to their position as a bottom team later, while Intermilan is clear if they are not in bad shape at the moment so we just have to wait for time for them can to reclaim the top of the standings later.

Yes, this is the news that has been circulating in the last few days, reportedly the position of the AC Milan coach is very threatened to be fired following the negative results they received at the beginning of this season. I don't know whether this is a warning so that Fonsesca can keep his position safe or AC Milan is serious in giving threats, because with the news that there is a figure who is close to AC Milan, it will make Fonsesca uncomfortable. Currently they are still giving their coach a chance, but if in 1 or 2 more matches they still show something that is not good or even have to get negative results again, then I will not be surprised by the official announcement that will be made by AC Milan.

Look, I was truly shocked to hear this news
I could have expected anything other than such a quick dismissal in just a few games played
clearly this really implies negative things for Roma given that they are not stable at all

in my opinion they were wrong, they should have aimed long-term

Increasing rumors about Milan and Fonseca.
If Milan will lose the derby with Inter, Fonseca will be likely replaced.

The decision to replace Pioli did not have a good impact on Milan at this time because they actually had to give up good conditions at the start of the season because this season was in stark contrast to the previous season where Pioli could always appear consistently.

If in the end there is an option to replace Fonseca later, my hope is that they are not like Napoli last season because taking action too quickly actually makes the wrong choice of coach and it doesn't just happen once that hopes to change the condition of the game must run aground because of the poor performance they have.
But indeed replacing the coach is also a reasonable situation for now for Milan because seeing from the performance carried out and the development of the club which is quite slow this season, it is certain that management will not be satisfied with results like this which makes a quick way to terminate from the start so that in the end it does not become a regret when their performance does not change.

Fonseca still has time to change Milan's performance for the better and he also has to see how Milan's condition was last season with this season so that there is a slightly clearer comparison for the team he is currently coaching. I also saw that AC Milan at the beginning of this season was very bad in terms of their performance and appearance in several important matches including in the UCL match. So Fonseca must be really serious about making developments so that he is not immediately fired by Milan's management when they are no longer satisfied with the results obtained by the Milan team this season.

Hopefully this is just a rumor and will not happen anytime soon. Indeed, AC Milan under Fonseca did not run smoothly, even Fonseca started the season very badly, losing to the promoted team, Parma, and most recently losing in the Champions League to Liverpool. So with AC Milan's poor performance, Fonseca's position at AC Milan is indirectly threatened, even rumors like you said if he loses to Inter Milan he will be fired, even his replacement is already there.

It is certain that Milan will lose to Inter in the next match because Inter started the season smoothly after being unbeaten in five matches, Inter only drew in the last two matches. So Inter has a great chance to win this match and wants to continue its superiority. But for me personally, AC Milan should not rush into making a decision regarding Fonseca's future, they must be patient because Fonseca has just started a squad revolution to become strong. So giving him time and opportunity might be the right choice. Because if they still want to fire Fonseca, that's a fatal mistake. Because of course a new coach will not make AC Milan strong in a short time.

Cagliari vs Empoli

Cagliari starting lineup:
Scuffet; Zappa, Mina, Luperto; Zortea, Marin, Deiola, Augello; Gaetano, Luvumbo; Piccoli

Empoli starting lineup:
Vasquez; Goglichidze, Ismajli, Viti; Gyasi, Henderson, Grassi, Pezzella; Maleh, Esposito; Colombo

Compared to last season certainly Empoli performance is very impressive because Empoli still able to managed their unbeated records until week 4 and they also has good progress because Empoli can beat AS Roma and the latest is Empoli can able to playing draw from strong team Juventus so i am sure Empoli players in the good of motivation to facing this match

For Cagliari their performance is not so different just like last season they even still unable to win from 4 latest matches in Serie A so that's why i highly doubt they can able to gets their first winning in Serie A today because just like i said above Empoli condition is more good than them but Cagliari also not too weak because in the last 5 meeting from Empoli they can gets 3 draw and for this match too there is possibility will ended to draw again and the odds for draw is quite high to bets @3.30

From my point of view, as a bettor, it is a very difficult match to predict and bet on given that the teams are really very similar to each other.
I couldn't decide who to give my vote to win, it's really difficult to understand who could win
in fact the share is very high

[Furious 7]

in my opinion they were wrong, they should have aimed long-term

Regardless of whether this choice was a mistake or not I think the situation has gone through careful negotiations from the top brass at Roma and indeed although it is a little unfortunate in this case because De Rosi had to leave very quickly in his new season but it seems that Dan Friedkin was not too patient and was not satisfied with De Rosi leadership at the beginning of this season.

Hopefully this will be the best choice made by Roma because it would be a shame if in the end this decision actually had an impact on their performance in a competition that is still running very long considering this is only a few weeks of Serie A starting.

But even so now there is another interesting news about the coach where it looks like De Rosi will have a friend because Paulo Fonseca is threatened with his current position as coach for not being able to make Milan' performance improve.
