Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

News about Osimhen is sometimes exaggerated or made too dramatic by some news media. So, all of this can cause some misunderstandings for those who don't explore it further. But that problem has now passed. And now Napoli are fighting with Conte and all the existing players and with their mainstay striker, Lukaku. Likewise, Osimhen is currently struggling with the club that borrowed his services this season, namely Galatasaray. And it looks like Osimhen has recently managed to score a few goals for Galatasaray. Which means Osimhen has started to adapt well there. And Napoli are now also doing well with Conte and Lukaku as the mainstay players brought by Conte. I hope things go very well for everyone.

Napoli no longer need Osimhen now that they have been able to show a much better team performance at the start of this season, fans have forgotten about Osimhen and Lukaku has been very successful in replacing Osimhen's position.
Regardless of Osimhen's problems with Napoli and some negative news about both of them, I think it is no longer important.
Osimhen currently has to focus on his career development with the Galatasaray team which of course will be quite difficult for Osimhen to rise and Napoli with coach Conte will continue to focus on maintaining the consistency of the team so the two are no longer related now.

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.

In addition to Napoli asking for a very high transfer fee, Osimhen himself also asked for a fairly large salary, making it difficult for several clubs who wanted to sign him to meet it. So this problem is not only on Napoli because they also determine, because if his salary is not too big then PSG or several other clubs will be able to afford it. Conte did not include Osimhen in his plans and that was also the reason for Osimhen to accept the loan, the reason being that there was too much drama that could affect their strength.

Regardless of who is wrong and right, Osimhen should be able to get a new club so he can continue his career. Galatasaray could make Osimhen permanent as long as he is willing to lower his salary, but I hope Osimhen returns to play at a much better club and has a big name.

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.

Osimhen was already in the market before Conte was hired was he? He had his issues with Napoli since September of 2023 and that was before Conte was hired. His issue with Napoli started when the Napoli official tiktok poster videos mocking Osimhen after he missed a penalty. Osimhen was blamed for their poor form.
I know Osimhen has his role to play in his issue with Napoli, but don't make it look like he's just an I disciplined player that doesn't have regards for any of his coaches. The moment things went bad for the club after the season they won the league, the club turned against him, even though he didn't do much to help his case.

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.

What do you mean "something like competition"? Are you implying that there has not been competition in the Serie A? If that's what you're implying then you have not been following the league. Since Inter Milan ended Juventus 9 years winning streak, 3 different teams have won the Serie A in last 4 seasons. No other league in the top 5 leagues in Europe can boost of that. That shows a competitive league.

The league winner might run away with the league, (except when AC Milan won it with 2 points ahead of Inter), but the 2nd to 5th position is closely competitive. There is usually just a 2 to 4 points difference between the 2nd and 5th position. That's competition. The Serie A has been the most competitive league in Europe for the past 5 seasons.

I agree with your views on comparing Osimhen with Lukaku, two very different players in regard to their age and development. It's fair to say that Osimhen brings a lot of potential for future growth and performance. Each player indeed has their own unique strengths and weaknesses, and their value to a team cannot be simply compared.

Players who have potential when they are in a team will certainly be the difference with other players because players who have potential in every match will be key players for their colleagues even though the coach must care about all players in every line in order to continue to improve the strength of his own team. This season Napoli has again shown its ability through existing players including Lukaku in it, but Napoli still has to be more consistent and Lukaku also still has to work better during this season, as well as Osimhen in other leagues.

Maybe it's your right to see some matches for Napoli, but on the other hand I predict that this match will have a draw score, it might seem impossible for COMO but seeing COMO's improvement in Serie A it seems like they will put up a good fight at Napoli's home, that's why I dare to take the decision to say this.

A draw is possible considering they have won their last two games in a row, Como have clearly shown improvement and I think Cesc Fabregas' squad has adapted well to Serie A.
There is nothing impossible in football, for example at Atalanta's home ground Como could win with a fairly large score, in this match it could happen again although it is unlikely considering Napoli are currently at the top of the standings and 3 points are the target for Conte's troops to distance points from Juventus who are below them.
However, I will not deny that Napoli are indeed favorites in this match, we'll see tomorrow if there will be a surprise.?

Isn't Osimhen already at Galatasaray at the moment, no need to remember him anymore, he has developed well in the Turkish league today, it is very good for his development because Napoli I think took the wrong action, sorry not a mistake but it was not right.

Lukaku is good enough and can still produce goals for Napoli, I think he is also good enough to be at Napoli although if compared it is difficult to equalize which one is better because it depends on how our object thinks about Napoli or the players themselves, but overall this is a decision that is considered good by the Napoli football team itself.

Basically Lukaku and Osimhen are great players but unfortunately, Conte only chose one of them and I think it's not so right even though so far Conte has succeeded in making Napoli get good results. Because of course, if Osimhen is still maintained then it will be good for Napoli to rotate players, especially since Osimhen is still young which is certainly good for the long term, because in the previous season Napoli also extended Osimhen's contract.

At least, this factor also disappointed me, because if Napoli didn't want Osimhen, then there was  no need for Napoli to give a new contract and salary  increase at that time. Because after all, if in the end Osimhen is not needed by the team, then it is better for Napoli to sell him  at that time after getting the scudetto, but Napoli kept Osimhen and made Osimhen's career bad by throwing Osimhen away like that.

Como is seen giving positive developments in the past few weeks, if you think about it against Napoli I think it will be very difficult for the game now, especially the game is at home to Napoli, it is not an easy task for Como, then Napoli as well as leaders of the Serie League standings A, meanwhile Como is in 10th position with a difference of 5 points, it is not too far but I think it will be very difficult to get a draw even if you think of victory, maybe luck like a kick in the penalty box can be a big thing for Como.

[Volgastallion]

At the very begining of the season in the first games when i see and read the names in the Napoli line up, were pretty bad, b ut now with the last players who comes in the late phase of the market plus some players who comeback from injuries seems like a very good team overall, and with a good coach like Conte i think they can make some very good noise.

[Mame89]

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 don't know what has happened between the club president and Victor Oshime but, saying he fell out with Antonio Conte is nothing but misinformation truthfully. They had talks together but Victor Oshime stated he wants to leave the club, Antonio Conte even came out to say that he will not get involved with whatever that happened last season. I hate the comparison between Victor Oshime and Romelu Lukaku, check the stats and you'd see that having Victor Oshime in your sqaud is a great thing. Well, I'm rooting for Napoli to win the Seria A Scudetto League Competition.

The drama that occurred between Victor Oshime and the club president has been going on for a long time and is indeed difficult to fix, that's why Victor Oshime stated that he wanted to leave the club and wanted to play for another club. However, in fact, Victor Oshime's transfer was also not easy because Napoli set a very high price at the beginning, many EPL teams wanted his services but were constrained by the price, including Arsenal if I'm not mistaken. In the end, Victor Oshime landed at a club in Turkey, so actually Victor Oshime's problem was with the club president and there was no problem with Conte.

Because the relationship between Osimhen and Napoli is difficult to repair, of course coach Antonio Conte who has just joined Napoli will practically not work with him, so he prefers Lukaku who has worked with him. Yes. Osimhen is not bad as a striker, even his status as the Serie A goal king in 2022-2023.

Now that Napoli has gone through the drama, Napoli's focus is now on continuing to improve their performance so that they can remain consistent and can get trophies this season, especially the Scudetto trophy.

Napoli have a greater chance of winning the match considering their current form, indeed como is starting to find its best form in their last two matches but it is clearly too risky for us to bet on their victory in the match, the betting market favors Napoli as the winner with odds of 1.46 while the odds of winning como are very small with odds of 6.80 which shows how far the comparison from the chance of como can be Winning that the match, we can't deny that there may be surprises in the match, but we also can't deny that Napoli are starting to be on a positive path after Conte's arrival to the squad, so it's not wrong for us to bet on them at the moment because the possibility for us to get a win is greater than hoping for Como.  

[Velvet78]

Juventus are also as competitive as Napoli for the lead these days. They still haven't conceded any goal after 6 weeks left behind. The gap is only one point as well. 

Of course they can still be more productive than this as they have scored 9 goals. But I can't still overlook the big difference between Motta and Allegri eras.

The thing is I wouldn't like to criticize Allegri harshly. Because he was unlucky that he couldn't make the needed signings because of lack of money. But Motta is more lucky about it. Otherwise I would like to remind you of Allegri's titles with Juventus in the past too.

[BALIK]

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 on the 7th to 9th week have the opportunity to stay at the top of the standings because that week the strength of his opponents is under Napoli. Targeting 3 points in the match for Conte's squad I thought it was very possible to achieve, because on the 10th week of Napoli had to travel to the Milan headquarters which was a difficult opponent, but back football presenting a surprise travel would not be smooth according to plan.
However, I agree that Napoli have been consistent under Antonio Conte's care even though at the beginning of the performance season it is not as expected but now they are at the top, so hope Conte can maintain the consistency of his squad so that it will get closer to the Scudetto.

None of us disagree that Napoli is currently performing very well. They are definitely the best team right now if I have to judge by the performance that they have shown so far. they are at the top of the table and have more wins compared to any other team. So I guess we can also say that the decision of letting Osimhen go has not yet proved to be bad for them.  And I actually think they had a good idea of what they were doing. they could already understand that this is not going to work well between them and Osimhen if they try to keep him for longer. It was only the player that did not understand the situation.

Anyway, the team is performing well and yes if they are consistent enough, we will probably see them at the top of the table even at the end of the season. But that’s the thing. Nobody knows if they are actually going to be consistent throughout the season or not.

Massimiliano Allegri could not do much in his last season, because Juventus was sanctioned to play in any European competition, which hampered their movement in the transfer market. Paul Pogba and Nicolo Fagioli were also sanctioned, this added to the existing problems. This season with Thiago Motta, Juventus began to rise and appear consistent. Their game is considered very solid and balanced in every line, defense is the key to their success in winning every match. I agree, Allegri was unlucky in his last year, and Motta now seems to be able to meet the expectations of fans. However, it took a season to see real results from the new manager, although they now appear to be on the right track.

[LUCKMCFLY]

I think their drop to 12th place is due to their lack of squad depth. The tight schedule combined with the lack of human resources has left them with no strength to maintain their form. I think they should know their strengths and should focus on one tournament. That way they can improve.

It is a fact that things have to be seen through a positive lens, just because they are doing well in a bad position does not mean that things have to go so badly for them , we have to highlight what they have done, the UCL is one of the best competitions that a club can face, and I think that they focused their energies there, so it is normal that they can lower the level a little, let us remember that this team is in full promotion, while they can do a good job there, they can lose their league, in fact they can afford that luxury, but getting to a good position to continue qualifying , at least fourth place, they have to get into the classification.

They get optimism back to win the match because like other teams are also experiencing the same situation at the beginning of the league, and with Conte I think Napoli can be better this season, he is now leading the league temporarily, and the next match against Como, it is not a decent assignment It's hard because Como managed to improve himself, this will be a very awaited and fun match, although Como is not a team that is favored but in my opinion he will definitely put extraordinary pressure to subvert Napoli in his own home.

Why is it misinformation? We do not know what happened that part is true, but it could be a fight between Conte and Osimhen that caused this, we wouldn't know, it might be true or it might be wrong and we have no idea which one it is.

This is why we should not be really saying it's a lie that they had a fight, it might be a lie or maybe not. In the end, Osimhen left, that is what we know and have in our hands and we should not be really considering that any further, there is no way to get him back, he is gone. And I also believe that he is not going to play for Napoli ever again, he is out on loan right now, and when that loan ends he will go play for some other team as well, so we are going to see them be very happy anyways.

Napoli has definitely started this season very well. They have got the most amount of wins(4) so far in this season compared to any other team in the Italian league. But the thing is this is still a very hard stretch in this season. They will have to play well as they have been doing so far and that is the only way they can stay at the top of the table.

In today's match, no one is actually doubting them. Whatever the odds, Napoli should be able to win this match easily against Como. Especially because they have been playing so well so far. Como really should not cause them any big problems and it is going to be a surprise if Napali are unable to get three points from this match.

With the quite good results that Napoli continues to get this season, it seems very natural that Napoli will have good times again in Serie A like when Spalletti was there. And because Napoli only played in the domestic league today, they can be more relaxed and have more time to train than other teams who have matches in the UCL and European League.

In the next match, Napoli will face one of the promoted teams this season, namely Como, who have also managed to get 2 consecutive wins in the last two weeks in Serie A. Como has managed to surprise everyone by beating Atalanta. And many said that Como was just lucky at that time. but then Como proved again that it was not just luck but they were much better prepared this time. It's just that against Napoli it might be very, very difficult and it's possible that in that match Como could experience defeat again.
