Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Velvet78]

Finally dear Velvet, I've been waiting for this moment for 2 years, to finally have my beloved team in competitive mode.
I don't expect anything but only to be able to watch my team's matches with satisfaction and to be able to enjoy good matches.
If we can compete for the scudetto even without winning it, that's fine.

I feel you there my friend.    Juventus fans must have really been in pain for 4 years in the Serie A. Because they had huge difficulties in even making it to the 4th position. The biggest "success" was the last season with a 3rd finisher. But it looks like they are back in business. Just like you meant, it would still be a big improvement even if they don't win a title but finish right behind the champion.


The unbeaten run continues for Juventus this season. They beat Leipzig in the Champions League too. Only 4 days after it, they are hosting Cagliari in the league. Even if we see some fatigue and maybe a little rotation as well, I still expect them to win. 1.37 odds just make me question whether it's worth adding to parlay though. 

[Z_MBFM]

The Lazio game should not be the one to worry yourself about, that Juventus game is the problem, to me. Since Juve played the champions league game which they won, it wasn't an easy game for them and it has been long they experienced such battle where they had to come from behind and get a win in the champions league. I feel they're clouded with fatigue and going against a stubborn Cagliari which have been a little bit good this season is not going to be that easy for Juventus, at least Cagliari won their last game but their position on the log isn't impressive but I think they can get something out in this encounter against the Old Ladies, both teams can share point in this encounter either a draw or a shocker might as well happen for Cagliari to win.

Juventus have enough time to rest after the match with Leipzig, although Di Gregorio received a red card in the 59th minute and Juventus had a very difficult 30 minutes, but they are in a very good mood and good shape. Cagliari concede a lot, even if you take into account how Juventus plays in defense, then it can be seen that they should win this match, the most important thing is that their attack can score, because sometimes they cannot score in 6 matches in Serie A, they played 0-0 three times.

 Juventus and Empoli are the only two Serie A teams that hasn't lost a match yet but i have this feeling that Juventus might not really find it easy against Cagliari and my reasons is that Juventus worked extra hard before they could win Leipzig in their champions league games on wednesday so fatigue is gonna affect most of their players. cagliari is not in a good shape but considering that they lost 3 consecutive matches before they were able to win their last two games shows some improvements in the team so we shouldn't be surprised if they are aiming to also get 3 straight wins so we should not underestimate them, perhaps we all saw what a promoted team Como did to a stronger opponent Atalanta so same thing might still happen between Juventus and Cagliari.

Yes they both teams have not lost any match so far but have drawn few matches.  Juventus have drawn three of their last five matches and Napoli have drawn one. But no matter how well Napoli are playing right now, I think Juventus is the most likely team to do well in the Italian league. And another team is Inter they play a lot of good Italians so very soon it seems Inter will move to the first position in the points table. And once again they can be champions of the Italian league.  That's why I'm confused about Napoli

[hahay]

Napoli lead awhile over 1-0 from Como and the match have play until 15 minutes, its good trend of Napoli under era Antonio Conte success leading the first standings position and new recruitment from Manchester United Scott McTominay success scoring his first goals against Como.

Even the goal made by McTominay was very fast. an advantage for Napoli that gave a surprise to Como in the early minutes of the match. however, Napoli must be more favored. but seeing Como's game, it was very good. they have a strong playing mentality. seeing how they are very confident to build attacks from the bottom, making short passes to approach Napoli's defense. there are not many chances at this time for both teams, but Como played a very good match even though they are still 1 goal behind.

It seems like Lukaku is the man of the match in this match because after all, Lukaku make two assists for Napoli goals in this match and also, Lukaku managed to score a goal through a penalty kick. Conte really managed to maximize Lukaku's quality in Napoli, because he is no longer young but Lukaku still managed to make a big contribution to the team. But regarding the score that occurred in this match, for me personally it is not a surprise either even though indeed, in the previous two matches Como managed to win and that was quite impressive. But still, playing against Napoli certainly has a tough  challenge for Como because after all, Napoli is also still in a very good trend, so it is impossible for Napoli to lose at home against Como which is basically a promotion team.

There's a breaking news in the media that France and Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba will start training with Juventus team from January and will be allowed to feature for the club from March. It is confirmed that he'll start playing football again from next year which I think is a great news for Juventus and the French national team. What do you make of this news and what can you say about the return of the talented midfield maestro?

This news has been confirmed by Fabrizio Romano that previously Paul Pogba was received 4 years ban from football but he has decide to appeal to Court of Arbitration for Sport or CAS  and they had accept Paul Pogba appeal and reduce his punishment to 18 month which mean Pogba will be allowed to return to football and train for Juventus on January next year and i am not really sure this is good news or not because for midfielder Juventus has Douglas Luiz, Khephren Thuram dan Teun Koopmeiners which these players currently in form with Juventus so it's hard for Pogba to gets one place on Juventus starting lineup but for Pogba he has to prove it to people that he can bounce back from this conditions and performing well again

Yeah the news is true so it's a good one for the midfielder Paul Pogba who has been out of play for a long time now because he was a good midfielder for France and Juventus before he was charged for doping and banned for Four years but after an appeal by CAS it was now reduced to 18 months meaning we should be expecting to see the France International being featured in matches soon. The only concern is about his fitness since he has not been playing matches but we hope to see him become more stronger and better now

[el kaka22]

Top four is the ones we know now, and this could probably decide on the future of the season. Napoli obviously going great right now, but all Juventus and Inter and Milan trio is doing great too and I am expecting a lot from them. It is obvious we are not going to get the best of these teams unless all of them plays great, and when they all do great we end up with a great result that gives us a great competition.

Everweek there is something changing so we should be thinking about how great this could become for betting as well. These teams beating other smaller teams will get more and more common and we are going to benefit from it no question about it. Having some sort of trouble right now would be just unexpected losses or draws by these teams.

Juventus consider Sergio Ramos! Turin giants eyeing Real Madrid legend after losing Gleison Bremer to ACL injury

Juventus are reportedly considering signing Sergio Ramos as the Turin giants eye Real Madrid legend after losing Gleison Bremer to an ACL injury.

Disaster struck in the Champions League match against RB Leipzig, where Bremer suffered a rupture of his anterior cruciate ligament, which has ruled him out for the remainder of the season. His injury was a significant blow to Juventus, as the Brazilian defender was an integral part of Thiago Motta’s tactical plans.

According to Tuttosport, Juventus are mulling over signing Ramos as they see the 38-year-old as a viable option to bolster their defence in the absence of Bremer. The centre-back has been without a club since he left Sevilla and should be eager to ply his trade in the Italian top flight. He has been staying fit by training on his own, and sharing clips of his workouts on social media to show that he is ready for a top challenge.

What do you make of this news and what can you say about the return of the talented midfield maestro?

I think this is one very good piece of news. Because after all, Pogba is a pretty good player and has an undoubted reputation on the green grass. And maybe he really has to succeed in attracting attention again by proving his quality once in the league if he wants to succeed in breaking into Juventus' main players. And actually this is like being the start of a career again for this player. But with all his experience, he should be able to become a mainstay again in the midfield.

 It's been a long time since I found out any news about this player. And now that I heard good news about him then I'm sure everyone will welcome this news. Because I really hope this player can play again.

This is because they work hard and play with good perform so their hard work and effort does not go waste.  If they play like this on other teams, they will be able to be like them.  They are strong because of the perform of Juventus and the hard work they put in. If Juventus lose the match, it will put pressure on them, but I don't see that Juventus will lose to this team.  It depends on them whether they are good or bad performance they should play well and win the match and go up but no such interest is seen in them.  If we win in the next matches, then it will show improvement because losing 3 matches and getting 2 points is not enough but I hope they will improve themselves gradually because it takes time to improve in the game.  .  But I see Juventus's performance in this match stronger.

...

Every season there must be changes for the team where previously Inter Milan became the best club in the previous season and now Juventus are trying to dominate. This is a natural thing because it is difficult to maintain consistency for several seasons in a row because of the players or coaches who leave. I prefer to bet victory compared to the number of goals because this is far more difficult and the appearance of Juventus is far more increased this season.

Juventus are unbeaten this season and they play a beautiful ball so that when facing Cagliari will be much better to bet on their victory and Cagliari is also not a strong club so that Juventus are far more favored to win the match.

Well that's absolutely true. Every season there is always a difference present. Both in terms of the quality of the club which was originally quite good in the previous season and has apparently declined this season. And conversely, there are teams whose quality declined last season and are now improving rapidly again. For example, Napoli in the 2023 season we saw them become champions but in the last season 2023-24 we saw Napoli experience a drastic decline which meant that this team didn't even get any tickets to the bigger leagues in Europe. But this season, as can be seen, Napoli are getting better again and are even at the top of the Serie A standings this time.

But so far Juventus also seems to have made better improvements. And yes, betting on Juventus against Cagliari should indeed be a good thing to choose. This will just be like when we favored Napoli against Como. And yes, Juventus should win very convincingly against Cagliari too. Like Napoli who managed to beat Como.

Had Paul Pogba been banned for four years, his career would have ended. Untold joy will be experienced by the French internationals upon hearing of the ban reduction. The football player inadvertently consumed the prohibited substances, according to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), because the drugs are more potent in women. When he claimed in an interview that Pogba was dead, I began to worry about his mental health. His comment demonstrates how irritated he has become over not only missing the beautiful game of football but also not getting paid.

He may need some time to return to his previous level of performance because he has been out of the game for a while. Resuming training by January will prepare him for his full return to football. He is one of the greatest players France has ever produced and his creativity, talents, and scoring ability have been greatly missed by Juventus and football fans worldwide.

First, I am very happy to hear the news, he managed to get a little justice from the appeal at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). The suspension is effective from September 11, 2023, and Pogba can return to active play in March 2025, meaning that in the next 6 months the French player will be able to touch the ball again. Hopefully, in the future Poga can be more careful in undergoing injury treatment, so as to avoid unwanted sanctions. He is no longer young, but for the next one or two seasons, Pogba can still be relied on. His contract with Juventus actually ends in June 2026, and there may be adjustments due to the player being sanctioned. Besides that, it is not impossible Pogba will continue his career in Saudi, and will decide to retire there. It all depends on Pogba and Thiago Motta as the current Juventus manager.

I read the news and still can't understand on what basis the disqualification period was reduced. Probably, as always, everything was written off as "an erroneous drug intake"?
As for his prospects... he is 31 years old and has not shown a high level of play for a long time, and it will be difficult to return after a break. Although of course if he has motivation like Modric/Ronaldo then he has many years ahead where he can realize himself.

[coinlocket$]

you the Pual Pogba ban has been shortened.
I doubt tho he will play again in Italy, unless it will be a necessity.

This is a good and a bad news at same time, good news because they will have 1 extra player, bad news cause it will be an extra salary.

Market will also open in January so he may be sold or leave in that transfer market.

The game ended on 3-1. Which Napoli won the game, but to be precise Como really played a wonderful game. Even though Napoli is more stronger and better than them they tried their best and they were able to get their first goal before the halftime by Strefezza. Which by than some people we’re expecting Como will create a strong defense so that they will maintain the draw, but knowing well that Napoli will like to maintain their position in the table they are so active. Although they got a penalty some minute of the second half in which lukaku won it. All I will say is that both teams tried their best but am am impressed with Como even though they lose the game but their performa Was very amazing I love it.

[dezoel]

Lazio, Napoli, Juventus, Inter, Milan and even Roma all getting a win is quite possible. A few risky ones in there, Inter will be playing Torino and they do look great, they were leading the league until the last loss, if they didn't lose the last game they would have been leaders anyways.

The top four is the top four we all know, but Roma will be playing against Monza, to be fair I do not trust Roma to win games and I find them not good at all this season but Monza is the last team and has no wins at all, so while Roma doesn't look good, they look good "enough" to beat Monza as well. If you bet on all of these, as a parlay, then you get 18.00+ odds, which is huge. Milan is the one with the worst chances but I think they will win this one.

Despite having more ball possession, Como did not generate many opportunities. Antonio Conte is doing an excellent job of rebuilding Roma, and bringing in Rumelu Lukaku was no mistake. The 32-year-old Belgian was named man of the match for his goal and two assists. I read some comments online, and some say Conte replaced Victor Osimhen with a better player. Napoli leads the league with 16 points, while their closest rival Juventus can only get 15 points if they win their seventh league match against Cagliari on Sunday. Conte is not interested in playing entertaining football; instead, he wants results.

I was just happy to read about his return. But when I saw a post by a concerned analyst, asking the same question as yours as to the reason his ban period was reduced, I became concerned too. Without getting more details, I think Pogba appealed and a judge can grant appears based on convincing reasons, as appeal cases are often a thing of case by case.

I am happy for Pogba, because I once read when he wrote that "Paul Pogba is finished or dead". Although he later refuted the statement, good he has a second chance.

Udinese, Bologna and Atalanta also have the possibility of winning, because in any case they look a little better than their opponents. Lazio, Napoli, Juventus, Inter, Milan, AC Milan and AS Roma are the dominant teams, at first glance they will be able to win easily, unless they are having bad luck and letting their opponents create a surprise. Napoli managed to secure full points in the opening match of week 7, then followed by Verona. Thus, whatever the result of tomorrow match, it will not shake Napoli position at the top of the standings. In my opinion, even though Fiorentina has the potential to trouble AC Milan, I don't think Paulo Fonseca squad will lose full points, the same thing seems to apply to AS Roma.

I don't understand what you're saying, why is Conte linked to Roma.
Conte coached Napoli this season, he made a surprise because he quickly managed to turn things around in Napoli because last season Napoli's performance was quite bad and they often changed coaches but never found their best form.
But this season Conte has managed to bring Napoli back to the top of the standings and the players have also shown extraordinary quality improvements.

Conte got rid of Osimhen and that was a pretty good move he made because Osimhen expressed his desire to leave Osimhen at that time and Conte paved the way. As a coach who has coached several big teams, of course Conte has many strategies to bring about change this season, he believes in Lukaku and Lukaku managed to convince the coach with his big contribution. This is really extraordinary and I think Osimhen regrets leaving Napoli this season.
