Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[DanWalker]

But by the way, I also expect Juventus to win in this match but anyway, that Napoli also has a good performance so far because maybe the Conte factor and Lukaku are very on fire. With that reason, I'm not entirely convinced to pick Juventus to win but even so, I'm still betting with different options such as the over/under goal count and I hope it still gives me an advantage at this moment.

To be honest, today's match is Juventus' home match, but we don't see a better performance from them. The main reason for Juventus' erratic performance last season was a weak attack. We have seen that while Juventus' defense is very strong, their forward players' performances have been poor. Hence the team failed to compete for the title. In this season too, Juventus' attacking performance is weak.

Juventus have not scored a single goal in 85 minutes against Napoli. Juventus have had 64% of the ball so far. However, Juventus' players managed only 8 shots, and only one of those shots was on target. If such a poor performance, it is not possible for the team to earn full points.

The match is over and it ended goalless draw. Juventus was in control of the ball but like youvsaid, they have a poor striking force which resulted to a fruitless effort. Napoli was unable to turn the game around to their favor but a draw is still ok for both clubs.

It is funny that Verona is topping the league with 11 points and have played five matches. While Udinese is on 10 points and have only played four matches making them the awcond on the table. Big teams are giving up staying on top to average teams. However, the season is still in its early stage and as time goes on maybe big teams will take over the first and second position from them.

Juventus must share points with Napoli, and it's a very boring game. They defended well. But their attack was poor. It was still their main problem. They recorded 9 total shots; only 1 was on goal.

They had more possession, so they looked decent on the ball. But their offense was terrible.

Still, there are clearly a lot of issues left for them. Especially, on their attacking line. It seems their coach, Motta, can't fix it with their available attackers. So, the only solution is to overhaul their attack.

Best result for the two big Italian teams side, a point share was actually in my expectations of this game at the end, looking at how the new Napoli coach, Conte usually plays his games, some times he does apply Mourinho strategy when he's playing some away games, especially a tough opponent team side to be precise. For Napoli, They went their at Juventus home soil and was able to secure a point draw ,this is quite an interesting result for them.

I am not at all satisfied with the performance of Juventus. Their performance is poor in home matches. Especially the forward players played very badly. Juventus players managed to make only one on-target shots in the entire match. With such a poor performance, it is impossible for Juventus to dominate serie a.

The top spot in the table is occupied by Torino. This team is performing well. The team is unbeaten in 5 matches and has won three matches. Torino finished ninth in the table last season. But Torino's players have been playing well since the beginning of this season. Torino also managed to play well against big teams like Atalanta and Milan.

The derby della Madonnina will be a testament to who the real ruler of Milan is, the derby match will always be an interesting match so far and both teams will usually field their best squad in the match considering the prestige and also the emotions are often present in the derby matches, so far Intermilan is in high consistency in the league by being unbeaten in Serie A and even they are able to keep up with Manchester City in the UCL and show their capacity as one of the strongest teams in Italy, a different condition was experienced by Milan ahead of the derby which so far Milan has not been able to be consistent in the league as well as in the UCL which has just lost to Liverpool, I think the higher motivation at the moment is of course owned by Inter Milan and not with Milan which continues to get criticism from the fans after the series of bad results they get,  Fonsesca must be able to win the derby match later to be able to strengthen his position as the current Milan coach,  because if reflect on what happened to Pioli last season who lost the derby match and got fired at the end of the season, then Fonsesca fate will also be very determined by the results of the derby match later.  

I think for the past few seasons or so we have seen that Inter is much better and Milan just lost so big to Liverpool as well, they are not looking like they are going to do that well so we should be seeing this getting similar results for sure, it is not going to be easy but I think we are going to see this getting a good result without a doubt.

I feel like we should do fine and wouldn't really have any type of bad result for the long term, we need to see this getting a good amount of profit for betting as well, I am going to end up betting on Inter and I am sure that we are going to see them win. The odds are showing that Inter is a lot better as well, not that many places are showing that they are going to lose or anything, Inter is shown as the very clear favourites right now.

The Inter Milan team is very strong. Inter Milan won 4-0 against Atalanta in the last match in Serie A. Inter Milan's attack is quite strong. At the same time, this team's defense is also strong. Inter Milan managed to share the points with the mighty Manchester City in the Champions League match. Milan's overall gameplay was also very stable. On the other hand, we saw erratic performances from AC Milan. The team's performances in both Serie A and the Champions League have been poor.

The derby between Inter Milan and AC Milan is always exciting and competitive. But the interesting thing is that Inter Milan team has won all the last 5 matches against AC Milan. AC Milan can't win a single match. So I am waiting to see the victory of Inter Milan in the next match.

[SquallLeonhart]

I do believe that Inter has a lot better team right now and could win very well. I think they even changed their name and for a while now they are not known as Inter Milan but instead internaionale in many places and I think they are going to end up getting a win and should be doing fine. I know that its a tough game no matter what, even on seasons where one team is much better, we saw that it wasn't always that obvious for any team and that is why I think Milan could definitely have something that is getting a good chance and shouldn't really be doing anything good at all.

We are going to see this getting a good amount of fun to watch because these two teams playing each other has always been quite fun and I am sure that some angry moments will happen again as well, even a red card is likely.

In my opinion, it is possible that this Milan derby match will end in a draw, although Inter Milan is indeed the favorite. Both teams are equally ambitious to secure full points, so that they can improve their respective positions in the standings, especially for AC Milan who are currently ranked 11th. Paulo Fonseca is currently under great pressure, his skills as a manager are being questioned, especially if tomorrow they lose again embarrassingly. Both teams returned from the Champions League with different results, and these results will clearly give a different sense of confidence to the players. Based on the head to head record of both teams, Simone Inzaghi deserves to be proud of his team achievements, which are superior to their rivals. Only great luck can make AC Milan win the match, even though the depth of the squad they have is arguably no less good than Inter Milan.

It seems that Juventus cannot be expected to get more wins, Motta has not been able to convince that this season they are changing very well, maybe it still takes a long time to change that, the results of this Napoli match should be a lesson for Motta because their attack line cannot still be broken by Napoli defenders and that makes it difficult for Juventus to get goals, it looks like Motta needs a sharp striker to be able to execute opportunities on the front lines, because Juventus' midfield and defense are much better for now.

I knew that the Juventus game against Napoli is going to be a very difficult one for both sides so I wasn't surprised to see both teams finish the game in stalemate but was shocked that it ended goalless despite the quality of attackers in both teams.
I watched the game and to be honest, Juventus was the better team but lacked creativity in the final third which is what I think stopped them from getting a goal and maybe a win at the end of the game. Thiago Motta in my own assessment is doing a good job but he must try and improve the team's prolificity if he really wants to win something or finish the season a good position. The is Juventus' third goalless draw in their last four in all competitions and that isn't a good record for a team that wants to fight for the league title.

[coinlocket$]

only 0-0 in the big match this evening between Jvuentus and Napoli.
Nothing interesting happened.

They changed coach to avoid games like this, with this result and we are back in the same situation.
Even if they have changed half of the team.

They maybe need more time to knowing each other but for the moment is not looking so good.

[Weawant]

Yes the competition is going to be very strong and I most hope for Juventus because they are good and strong at the moment and they can beat Napoli. But the decision could be anything so it is difficult to say because Napoli are also among the strong team. And it can be guess by watch the match who will win and who will not.  Yes most of juventus matches are draw but in this match they will either lose or win the match. And will play very fast and well and try to score more goal. If Napoli manage to stop them the match will be in their favour. And he will recover the point lost in that match and win the match.

Juventus drew against Napoli in today's game and ofcourse I wasn't expecting so much from that game because I knew both team were almost of almost equal strength tho Napoli was looking like they have gotten a better form and are better prepared for this season then they have been in subsequent seasons but then it's quite impressive their performance is in this state currently as I had expected much more form them having the much anticipated lukaku for which they did treated osimhen terribly, since his debut, he has been of any much essence to the team than the way he had met them, I may be sounding like an osimhen fan but I'm probably not, just stating the obvious which I believe some others may be seeing aswell

Neither Juventus nor Napoli fans are happy with this result. Both teams with high potential could not score and gave clues about how the league will go. There were two teams that could not use their potential on the field and they disappointed the fans who thought they would watch a good match.

There was a possibility that the match would end in a draw but I thought it would be a draw where at least both teams scored. I thought the defense would be at the forefront in the match but I did not expect there to be no goals in the match.

Antonio Conte is experienced manager, allow him to make decisions for the club and the upbringing of outstanding players. It's not easy coupling with Napoli this season, it's been really a rough one for Napoli but they're also not relenting, bouncing back after several failed seasons means good steps for them. However fighting for the scudetto this season would be a tough one but there's always hope for elite clubs. Forwarding to today's game played between Juventus vs Napoli, it's a tied on the scoresheet, Juventus and Napoli was unable to separate themselves on scores.

Honestly, for Napoli's condition like that last season, this time I admit that at least Napoli could hold Juventus to a draw is quite good. This is a fair result for both of them, even though they each had difficulty in attacking. Each only had 1 dangerous shot on target and that was the only thing they failed to achieve. A 0-0 draw is fair enough for them. I don't want to assume and expect more from both of them, because they are exactly struggling to be at this stage after their deep slump.

Look how Conte seriously commanding and managing them from the side. It's not easy for him, but this is the best result right now.

Napoli have quality and ambition. The southern Italian side is one of Juventus' main rivals in the Scudetto race. So I'm not surprised that today's match between the two teams ended in a draw. But it was disappointing that both teams were too cautious and had no chance to give the audience a draw as they expected.
We saw both Juventus and Napoli enter the match with a cautious mentality. During the first half, the attacking stars such as Vlahovic, Lukaku, McTominay, and Kvaratskhelia did not have much space to break through or finish. The match did not improve much in the second half. Juventus and Napoli had a total of 17 shots in the match (Juventus 9 shots, Napoli 8 shots) but each team only had 1 shot on target. The match was terrible, neither team had a chance to score.

I admit that Napoli's defense was solid enough to stand Juventus's attacker. When we look at statistics, Juventus has 67% ball possession and almost controlled the game during the match. I think Motta must have a plan to sharpen their front line again, they was play draw 2 times with 0-0 results which I think he have the wrong strategy implemented. While Napoli, even they not controlling the game, but their attacker able to take advantage of many opportunities, luckily Juventus has Gleison Bremer as a defender who was able to ward off the Napoli players as become Man of the Match.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Roma's struggle is perpetual, the team is destined to struggle, part from a good run between 2012-2015 when ironically they failed every time to get their head in front and win a championship they have always been destined to be a mediocre team with inconsistent gameplay and results, taking a gamble what this team might do is always a shot in the dark, apart from the never cheating to disappoint Milan they are in league of their own.

I totally agree with you on that, Roma has always been a team of that style, however for me the time when Roma shone the most was when Emperor Totti was there and I thought things were going to be better since he left, but I don't know, I say something, I think that after the pandemic the most affected teams were the Italians and it is a fact that it was like that, until now with everything that has happened I think that Roma was one of the teams that was most affected, that is what I can deduce so far, although the problem of the technicians is something else, I don't know if there will still be an impact on it.

Capello warns Fonseca and De Rossi needed ‘time’ to flourish

Fonseca could very well follow, as his position is hanging by a thread at San Siro following one win in the opening five games including a Champions League 3-1 home defeat to Liverpool.

“I am shocked by De Rossi’s dismissal,” former Milan and Roma boss Capello told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

“If you revolutionised the squad, then he has to be given time, not fired after four rounds. It would be wrong to fire Fonseca, even if he loses the derby. Fonseca also needs time, although now it is up to him to turn things around.

“Antonio Conte made his voice heard at Napoli, both in private and public, after failing the first game, and they were given a wake-up call.

What I see is not because Napoli defense is strong but Juventus attackers are a little weak. As you said, even though Juventus has a lot of possession, it's all in vain because the attackers don't have the tactics to take advantage of the opportunity to score.

Let's compare it with the previous performance when facing Roma and Empoli with a draw that was no different from the match against Napoli. So I won't say Napoli defense is too strong because Juventus attackers can't do much.

However, I admit that Juventus defense is very strong and this should be a concern for Motta to immediately improve the performance of the attackers.
