Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Velvet78]

Napoli play against Como home next time. What do you say about that? Don't you think the same as me like Napoli would win this one as well?

Como haven't started bad at all considering their quality level. They even beat Atalanta away recently. This makes me think about whether BTTS would also be a good option @1.90.    However I will still bet on Napoli win @1.47. I think it is more reliable when we take their current form into account. As they aren't in any European tournament this year, they won't be fatigued much either. They can easily focus on the league title.

I think the game of the week is Fiorentina - Milan.  



Milan are going to an away game a few days after their last Champions League game. Fiorentina players have more time to rest. This makes me question a probable win for Milan.    It might end up with a draw. Maybe BTTS @1.61 would be good?

Conte is also a very successful manager in my opinion. What he did with Napoli this year is not something to be underestimated. They currently have the Serie A leadership. They will also have important competitions in the Champions League in the coming years. As a manager, he has observed the team's deficiencies well and made transfers accordingly. Lukaku has been a very effective name for the team. Perhaps they have hired the most efficient forward they could. Despite Osimhen leaving, there is no negativity in the team. The effective offensive line from his time continues in the same way today under Conte's management.

I am not surprised by what Conte is currently doing with Napoli, basically Conte is a very qualified coach and he is also very experienced especially in Serie A so it is only natural that Conte is currently successful in bringing changes to the Napoli team but what is a little surprising is that Conte's process is so fast, this is something that should be appreciated.

And for the players of course Conte has his own choices and it is clear that even without Osimhen's presence Napoli's performance can be even better and for Lukaku is indeed Conte's chosen player, he has worked together for a long time so they know each other better to carry out Conte's tactics.

Osimhen has become a burden for the team lately, he fell out with De Laurentiis and later with Conte, who suspended him from training, so for discipline in the team they had to get rid of him. Lukaku has fit in very well, you can see that he is trying very hard, he likes working with Conte and that was their original goal to get him in the team. If Napoli, Inter and Juventus keep up the same pace until the end of the championship, maybe we will have something like competition in Serie A.

I'm not sure about AC Milan, the very tight time forced them to steal points at Fiorentina's home is not easy for AC Milan, Fiorentina really prepared this match well, of course, seeing the tight schedule played by AC Milan, Fiorentia will certainly take advantage of it to get full points, even though Fiorentina is far from the top 4 positions, but the ball game cannot be predicted easily, anything can happen, It seems that I will take the decision to place a bet on Fiorentina, because there are many factors for Fiorentina's victory in the match next week.

[Nanga Parbat]

Como is one of the promoted teams that so far is not too bad with 2x draws, 2x losses and 2x wins occupying 10th position in the standings. This weekend they will visit Napoli Headquarters which in 6 home matches has performed impressively after arguing about Victor Osimhen departure, in fact Napoli does not want to be considered wrong and has managed to perch at the top of the standings. Napoli in Conte hands must be more focused on becoming champions this season, considering that Juventus, Inter and Milan will be busy rotating players in the big UCL competition. Napoli schedule is much healthier because they do not play in the UCL or Europa League, only in the Copa Italia it still feels like an advantage for Napoli to target the Scudetto.

But from the result of their match, it does not seem that they will be in 10th position.  Well, if they have this position, it is good in terms of their performance.  This is the reason for his good performance and you must have seen that he has won a few matches in the beginning of the series and secured the first position.  But soon they will see him come down losing the match.  They have this chance now because they are busy and it will be easy for them to win the match.  If these teams start playing during the match, the performance of Conte, Como, Napoli cannot spoil anything.  When these teams are strong and their performance is 10 times stronger and better than them.  Napoli is a very quick and smart team which is why they don't find it so difficult to win matches and other teams who keep thinking about it and keep losing matches.

Yep, it's the biggest match of Serie A this week. Recently, AC Milan has had an inconsistent performance, since the opening of the league, they have almost always gotten results that fans didn't expect. Due to the instability of their performance, I think BTTS (GG) is the best choice rather than betting on them, although the odds tend to be lower, but it's better than having to find our slip loses.

But after I checked the odds, I think choosing AC Milan is not bad either, even when they're away to Stadio Artemio Franchi, they're still the favorites in the bookies.

[bastisisca]

Both come from very important victories in a row, let's remember that Como beat Atalanta which is not a weak team.
In fact, this match will be difficult to predict, I'm thinking of removing it from the betting list of my multiple, I don't know, I'll think about it.
It seems very risky to me.

Como was quite surprising because they managed to beat Atalanta very dramatically at that time. They made big changes in the second half of the match against Atalanta and made Atalanta's goal concede 3 goals in a relatively short time. Then in the match against Verona, Como also managed to take the lead from the first half. which indicates that Como cannot be underestimated at all.

But I still believe Napoli will be able to stop Como. And the worst result for Napoli was only a draw in that match. But this is quite risky because Como could cause another surprise in this match. But I hope that doesn't happen. Because I want to see Napoli become champions again in Serie A and of course Napoli cannot lose points easily.

Yes, true, I honestly didn't know that Como could give so much otherwise I wouldn't have bet so lightly on Atalanta's victory.
Now I will be more careful and cautious, even if I have to say some news in the championship is always nice, even if it makes me lose bets.
But is the football

[giammangiato]

For me, every top team will certainly have a bad moment when they lose against a mediocre team, but even so, I personally think that Atalanta is indeed in an unstable situation and that often happens every season. Because after all, after Atalanta lost against Como but in the next match Atalanta was also held to a draw by Bologna and thus, I am sure Atalanta is in a decline phase and in my opinion this is nothing new.

But about the Napoli v Como match later, I personally remain confident in choosing Napoli to win. Because after all, Napoli who experienced a defeat in the early match this season against Verona really became a trigger for Napoli to get good results about Conte and also Lukaku who is on fire. Thus, I am sure Conte will also be aware of the surprise that Como might do and thus, I am sure Napoli will continue to play with high focus so as not to be defeated at home because they only play against a mediocre team.

Unfortunately you are right, in Atalanta's case they are having a bad time.

Regarding Napoli's match against Como, unfortunately I don't see many alternatives for Como. Napoli is a strong team now with a real coach, the great Antonio Conte.
I am sure that Conte will be able to lead Napoli to victory in a difficult match.

If Napoli, Inter and Juventus keep up the same pace until the end of the championship, maybe we will have something like competition in Serie A.

regardless of the dispute experienced by this player, indeed from the beginning OSimhen was not included in the strategy that Conte would implement, so he was not needed in the Conte era and finally Napoli loaned him. Actually this is quite a complicated thing experienced by Napoli and OSimhen, on the one hand Napoli does not want to release Osimhen at a low price, on the other hand Osimhen also wants to find a team that can pay him a lot. This is what ultimately became an obstacle to the release of Osimhen, because every negotiation ended in disagreement. Osimhen was quite lucky because in the end there was still Galatasaray who wanted to borrow him, because if he stayed at Napoli I'm sure he wouldn't get many playing minutes.

There is no need to link it to Osimhen about Conte's success at Napoli so far because basically Conte never included Osimhen in the team and that's why Osimhen left. So, if you still think Osimhen has an influence on Napoli it is a mistake, because since Conte was appointed to be the head coach of Napoli also that Osimhen was not involved in Conte's plans at Napoli. Thus, it is indeed a necessity for Conte to provide good results for Napoli because he has made changes to the Napoli squad.

Because after all, the changes Conte made at Napoli were quite big too. How not, Osimhen as a player who contributed greatly to Napoli at the time of his success in winning the Scudetto, but Conte confidently chose to bring Lukaku and ignore Osimhen. Thus, then of course a big responsibility really must be done by Conte to make Napoli better with the team that was built.

Lukaku has fit in very well, you can see that he is trying very hard, he likes working with Conte and that was their original goal to get him in the team. If Napoli, Inter and Juventus keep up the same pace until the end of the championship, maybe we will have something like competition in Serie A.

Osimhen had too many problems that he decided to be loaned to Galatasaray with various speculations. The dispute with the coach was the reason why he no longer felt comfortable playing for Napoli, although there were other reasons that could have influenced it. Lukaku's arrival changed everything where Osimhen began to be forgotten and maybe Conte preferred Lukaku to Osimhen so that he got a place in the team.

Conte's presence is expected to re-energize Napoli players and they managed to become the top of the standings. Conte has really made a big change for Napoli so far even though they experienced a defeat against Hellas Verona in the opening match in Serie-A if I'm not mistaken.

[ndutndut]

At the moment we see this team's position in a very good position in the points table. If they continue to perform like this and gradually improve their performances, we can see them in the first place in the Italian league title race this season. However, even if Inter Milan is not in a good position yet, this team will be in a good position very soon and this team could be a cause of concern for Napoli.

They are playing well now and if they can maintain it till the half of season, they can actually join Scudetto competition with other clubs. Their performances are good now but they have a long season to complete, and many things can change in next 7 months. Napoli looks to be good enough to be in top four of Serie A when this season ends.

Napoli is still quite consistent this week and there are still many weeks to go, at least Napoli distanced itself from defeat even though it was difficult but it has been very consistent in several matches, It is true that Conte has a positive impact in handling Serie A clubs, maybe Conte is the right person for Napoli, even so Napoli should not be too arrogant with his revival that it will bring him down later.

Napoli under Conte has changed a lot, Conte is also a coach who transmits a champion mentality to each of his players, he is indeed suitable to coach Napoli.

So far, Conte has again shown his quality with Napoli at the beginning of this season. In addition to bringing Napoli back to the top and currently in first place in the standings, Conte has also managed to polish the performance of a number of their star players such as Lukaku, Scott McTominay, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, and Giovanni Di Lorenzo who have again performed very impressively until now.

Especially for Mctominay, actually every club really needs a player like Mctominay to achieve victory. It's just a shame that Man United can't take advantage of a player like this. Although Mctominay is not the type of player who always dribbles the ball here and there, Mctominay has a goal-scoring instinct and Conte can take advantage of players like this. With the squad that Conte currently has, I think Napoli is indeed suitable to be one of the favorite teams to win the scudetto this season.

Osimhen had too many problems that he decided to be loaned to Galatasaray with various speculations. The dispute with the coach was the reason why he no longer felt comfortable playing for Napoli, although there were other reasons that could have influenced it.

Osimhen's problem is only with the club because Osimhen no longer wants to play for Napoli and wants to immediately find a new club. Unfortunately he failed to find a new team that could sign him permanently. So he found a solution by being transferred to Galatasaray. Osimhen and Conte don't seem to have any problems. Because Conte did not play Osimhen because at that time Osimhen's status was uncertain, namely whether he would be released or not. And it's not good to play a player who no longer feels comfortable playing for the club. I respect Osimhen because his change in attitude towards the club is also quite justified. but yeah, sometimes these players also rate themselves too highly. So in the end he had to be loaned out. because Conte already has a mainstay player brought in in the transfer market, namely Lukaku, to replace Osimhen. And automatically makes Osimhen no longer needed.

And speaking of Osimhen, he had a little difficulty adapting when he first played at Galarasay. but now he has adapted well and has scored several goals for Galatasaray.

[Weawant]

Conte is a very qualified coach, which is why he will certainly be able to do well in the league regarding Osimhen, let's say that Napoli has already forgotten him because there is a certain Lukaku who is scoring and doing very well for Napoli and this is why they are practically keeping him forgetting, they still need time to work but they can still make a clear improvement!

The fact that Napoli currently have a very good and experienced coach isn't something i believe any one would want to doubt at this time but the fact that they will still need some time to be bale to get ahead and get their feet firm again on the ground is something that cannot be taken out of the way just like that. even if currently lukaku isnt doin bad at Napoli, i still don't regard him as a better replacement for osimhen because what osimhen achieved at Napoli is something lukaku is yet to achieve at Napoli yet so until the end of the season and his cumulative performance is seen i won't agree.

Atalanta managed to surprise us last season by winning the Europa League trophy and surprisingly they were able to inflict first defeat for Leverkusen last season, but to be honest Atalanta achievement last season did not make them the top team and scudetto challengers in my opinion, because after all, so far they have only continued to be a team trying to end the season in the european competition zone.
What has happened to Atalanta this season is not surprising considering that many surprise teams also had a bad season after the previous season they were good in the league, two wins so far they have won from 6 games and I think we will probably see them continue to slump until the end of the season later.

Napoli and como are in pretty good form at the moment, especially Napoli who managed to continue to be on a positive path after they suffered their first defeat in the first week of Serie A this season, while como who was surprisingly able to win in their last two matches will of course face a difficult test to beat Napoli later, although this season como has made a lot of player transfers, but I think the quality of the team owned by Napoli is still much better  from como recruits this season, so we can't deny that Napoli has a very big chance to win that  the match.

We cannot forget Osimhen's contribution to Napoli which has even brought Napoli to its peak of glory again in the 2023 season. So seeing the fact that Osimhen is now on loan and replaced by Lukaku is actually quite painful if we respect Osimhen. But this is the best decision so far. because we have to respect Osimhen's wishes, who no longer feel comfortable at Napoli. And Lukaku seems like even though he is still new here, he immediately feels comfortable here. because maybe the coach that Napoli currently has is a coach that Lukaku knows and the two of them have worked together and achieved sweet results at the club that brought them together, namely Inter Milan. And it looks like Conte and Lukaku want to do it again here at Napoli, namely winning the title in Serie A.

Of course, we must not forget the contribution of great players like Osimhen who helped Napoli win the title again in Serie A after this team had not won a title for a long time. And I remember Napoli winning the title first in the Maradona era. And then repeat it again in the Osimhen era. but we also have to look at the fact that what made Napoli a great team was because of the very important role of their coach at that time, namely Spalletti. Because after Spalletti left we even saw that Osimhen experienced a decline in performance and was no longer as productive as when Spalletti was still at Napoli.

And regarding Lukaku, he knows the game in Serie A very well. because he has a lot of experience at several clubs in Serie A in recent seasons. Because Chelsea continues to loan him to Serie A clubs. So it's not so strange to see Lukaku immediately integrated into Napoli's game. Because Lukaku is a senior player who already knows how to adapt quickly to a club. And what's more, Napoli currently has a great coach who seems to be making this team count again.

[fullhdpixel]

Osimen has left Napoli for Galatasaray but it remains a regret that Napoli would have performed better if they had kept the star. As you said Napoli have a quality team this season and with this team they can definitely do well in the Italian league. At the moment we see this team's position in a very good position in the points table. If they continue to perform like this and gradually improve their performances, we can see them in the first place in the Italian league title race this season. However, even if Inter Milan is not in a good position yet, this team will be in a good position very soon and this team could be a cause of concern for Napoli.

Victor Osimhen strongly rejected to play for Napoli after this Napoli management have no option, and they omitted him from the squad but in last few days of the transfer window we have Galatasaray was lucky club as they were able to secure this loan transfer at the end which is good for the all parties because with this loan deal we have good breakthrough between Napoli and Victor Osimhen now they already cut the asking price which was huge and no club were ready to play, and he extended his contract which will help Napoli for selling him on good price with these things will be sorted out smoothly in coming months.

As situation is going into Serie A we will be having good matches for the title race as we have few top clubs are doing good from the start, and they are created good space which is going to help them for having good chance for the title race as well.

[Uruhara]

So far Atalanta and Inter Milan have managed to be in a fairly safe position in the UCL because they have not been defeated. Inter Milan and Atalanta even finished the second match with big wins. Like Inter Milan who managed to beat Red Star with a score of 4-0, then Atalanta also managed to beat Shakhtar with a score of 0-3.

And the next matches that will take place soon are the Juventus vs Leipzig match and the Liverpool vs Bologna match. I'm sure Juventus will win today's match in the UCL. But I'm not sure Bologna can win against Liverpool. And maybe Bologna also needs luck to be able to hold Liverpool to a draw. But I hope at least Juventus wins. For Bologna I have given up because playing Liverpool is one of the most difficult in the UCL. Meanwhile, AC Milan doesn't seem to be so lucky in the UCL because they have suffered two defeats.

There have been many positives since Conte was appointed Napoli manager, the revival of Napoli being one of the most important. Osimhen loan move to Galatasaray was a shame, but their success in bringing in Lukaku as a replacement has been another stroke of good fortune. The fans certainly have a lot of respect for Osimhen and have not forgotten his contribution, and now they will enjoy the journey with Lukaku.
Of course, we have to wait until the end of the season to see who will lift the Scudetto, I think Napoli are one of the strong candidates at the moment, if you look at their reputation this season. We know it's not an easy job, Inter Milan, Juventus, and AC Milan will continue to push until the end of the season. In the end, we'll see how much Lukaku will impact Napoli, before we finally see the Osimhen transfer saga heat up again.
The chemistry that has formed between Conte and Lukaku in the past, has helped speed up their adaptation at Napoli.
