Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Lannakosa]

David De Gea became a hot topic because he managed to thwart 2 penalties at once and Fiorentina victory is worth celebrating. Fiorentina's performance is not too bad even though they are in the middle of the standings, they only lost 1x while the rest were too many draws but at least a draw is better than losing. De Gea proved that he is still strong as a goalkeeper, his contract was only short but what he showed could be an additional plus point for Fiorentina to extend. Overall Milan dominated the match but because of their bluntness in finishing, Milan this season is in a less positive situation. Bringing in Morata also has not been able to provide many surprises, it would be a shame if Milan continues to lag behind Inter, Juve and Napoli.

Milan started this season very shaky, but later they started to play better, and without a doubt De Gea was one of the main obstacles to achieving victory in the match against Fiorentina, now the players will spend even more time in training penalties. But seriously, in penalties there is always a factor of luck, and it looks like luck was on the side of Fiorentina this evening.

Juventus' performances in the opening matches of the season were very strong. Juventus managed to win by a big margin. We thought Juventus' performance this season would not be as erratic as last season. And this team will be a worthy contender for the Serie A title. But this is unlikely at the moment. Juventus' performance did not improve. The performance of this team is similar to last season in this season as well.

Juventus drew 14 matches last season. The performance of Juventus' attacking players was very weak and erratic. But their defense was very strong. We can see a repeat of the same thing this season as well. Juventus' attack is weak and their defense is very strong.

So far Juventus are the only team who have not lost a single match. However, Juventus have won only 3 out of 7 matches and drawn 4 matches. If it performs like this, it is impossible for Juventus to win serie a.

It seems to me that Juventus with Motta plays better, but their main problem, when their matches differ, when there is no stability, remains unresolved. When Juventus scores, then the team wins, if they have problems in attack, then Juventus plays a draw.

De Gea proved that he is still strong as a goalkeeper, his contract was only short but what he showed could be an additional plus point for Fiorentina to extend.

This season has been a remarkable season for De Gea  in the club because even if he has not stayed long on the Fiorentina club but with this little time he has spent there the manager and the entire team are very happy they have such a goalkeeper like him and like you said his performance on that match will certainly make the management to have another thought about his contract duration because no club would want to loss an assets because he has already proven to be an assets for the Fiorentina team.

One of the advantages De Gea has is that he is always very good in penalty since he was still in Manchester United because I remember how many times he has save them, so only goalkeeper with much experience will be able to save Tammy Abraham penalty because he is very good with penalty kick .

[Docnaster]

I know Juventus avoid defeat so in every match they at least get a draw, even though their opponent's quality of play is below Juventus so I am surprised by Juventus' unpredictable way of playing in terms of their game, but on the other hand they forget that they have lost the moment that should have been able to get full points, playing with 10 players in the final minutes is a risk in the game and it will make it difficult for the existing squad, even though Juventus must be punished with a penalty at the end of the match, of course it is a mistake and something that Juventus players do not need to do.

Juventus is the only Italian Serie A club that's yet to lose a league game this season no doubt but that doesn't change the fact that they've not been the best team. Juventus have drawn four league games already this season which means that in 7 league games, the Old Ladies have lost 8 points points and that I don't think is a good statistics for a club that's trying to win the league title this season.
Playing at home yesterday against Cagliari, I expected a better result from Thiago Motta's men to at least get a win no matter how narrow it appears to be but they failed to win at the end. Juventus is currently 3 points behind league leaders Juventus so they still have a chance to get it right

[JeffBrad12]

Milan this time performed badly again after getting previous praise looking more enthusiastic and finally had to suffer another defeat. Even though Milan had the opportunity to hold the match to a draw but too much ambition made Milan fail to hold the match to a draw yesterday.

Milan played so well yesterday against Fiorentina, it's just by luck that made Fiorentina to win the match else Milan would have. I didn't bet on the game yesterday but the two bets I made yesterday was just bad while the prediction was not even impossible for the team to overcome it but seems it was just a bad day.

I can't really say Milan played well yesterday. They played so badly, and it's so damn crazy how they wasted 2 pens in a game. And i think their players must be blamed here. They had a higher xG and many chances. But, they created no real chances. Their defense is pathetic. They're way too unbalanced as a team.

And i can't see the positive from them in this game. They deserved lost three points to the fiorentina.

[Polkeins]

Milan ended losing this evening against Fiorentina.
A now fans are asking once again "the head" of Fonseca.
They wants him sacked asap in this break for national games.

Will it happen?

For the game itself, superb De Gea canceling 2 penalties and saving for the final 2-1 of Fiorentina.

It was really David De Gea's match and if it wasn't for Girona's goalkeeper, who kicked essentially three penalties, you could say that David De Gea is the real hero of the game day.
We should also take the note that De Gea was practically a year without practice and trained by himself, so the achievement is more than serious. Fiorentina are probably already happy that they offered him a contract with the possibility of extension and despite the fact that he is the highest paid player of the team, David De Gea fully justifies the money invested in him. 

[Plaguedeath]

This is what a real goalkeeper looks like, have many saves and blocking the shots instead of having accurate passes or long balls. Pass and long balls can be taken by defenders or midfielders, it doesn't need to be goalkeeper.

I see that many Manchester United's fans are still asking De Gea to comeback to Manchester United.

Fiorentina could be a good contender in Conference League.

[KTChampions]

De Gea was became an important player for Fiorentina yesterday because he can blocked 2 penalty from AC Milan players and this makes Fiorentina can beat AC Milan and total De Gea did 7 important saves in this match and he is man of the match however i have been notice about De Gea performance this season because not only the match against AC Milan because previously De Gea also has saves Fiorentina several times from the loses so i think Fiorentina lucky to having him and they did good transfer because De Gea performance is very stable under Fiorentina defensive lines and i was wondering why Manchester United is more likely to choose André Onana rather than De Gea because if at that time they extended De Gea contract probably Manchester United performance will be much better than now

It's all because of Ten Hag. It's noteworthy that Ten Hag got rid of Ronaldo, Sancho, De Gea and all these players are doing great in other clubs, and those players that Ten Hag chose at least raise questions and at most do not correspond to the level of the club. This victory seriously improved Fiorentina's position and seriously worsened Milan's position; apparently this year the fight for the title will be between Napoli - Inter - Juventus.

I am not surprised by this because basically De Gea is a very qualified goalkeeper and he has shown his quality since the beginning when he joined Fiorentina even though he has not been active in playing for a long time.
And it cannot be denied that De Gea is an influential player in leading Fiorentina to victory over AC Milan because of the 2 penalties that he was able to thwart.

And if we look at it from another side, AC Milan's defeat is inseparable from their failure to rise to change the game of the team that has not shown its best performance since the beginning of the season.
Paulo Fonseca is currently under real pressure now, it is already week 7 but he still has not been able to make changes in AC Milan's performance.

Absolutely deserved three points for Fiorentina. Milan's Abraham and Hernandez's penalty misses were pathetic. How a team like Milan doesn't have good penalty takers and on top of that they can miss two penalties in one game is really unacceptable. Milan made a lot of attacking attempts and there were shots on target but Milan players can't even convert penalties into goals, how would they score in normal attacks anyway.

Milan did not play badly, but because Fiorentina had a very good defense, especially their goalkeeper De Gea who was the man of the match in this match. How not, De Gea managed to make two saves on Milan's penalty kicks executed by Theo Hernandez at the end of the first half and Tammy Abraham in the second half in the 56th minute, both failed to execute the penalty  because De Gea played very well. Thus, then of course Milan are very frustrated in this match because they really get a deadlock because of the strong defense of Fiorentina.

Thus, I think it is not right if you say Milan played badly, because in this match Milan also had good dominance despite playing away but unfortunately, in this home match Fiorentina managed to stem Milan's attacks and Fiorentina managed to win at home with a score of 2-1.

Paul Pogba's doping suspension has been reduced. His 4-year suspension has been reduced to 1.5 years. Thanks to this, Pogba will be able to return to professional football in March. It's unclear whether Juventus will use him in the squad. According to the news for now, Juventus management is not planning to continue with him. But things could change by March. Honestly, I think Pogba can still perform at a high level and play for the big teams. If Juve don't use him, he will have many offers coming.

[TastyChillySauce00]

I think Roma is finished. They keep bottling more points from their opponent. They played badly in this game. They missed so many chances owned by their attackers, and are struggling so badly to score goals. They recorded 65% possession, 15 shot attempts, and it's just to get a draw against a bottom of the table team.

I'm only seeing Dovbyk as the positive in their squad. He is the only one who knows how to put the ball in the back of the net.

The season is already over for them after they got several bad results in a row.

Today Juventus fans must be really sad to lose points against Cagliari home.    They kept the score at 1-0 so long and Cagliari didn't give up which brought the equalizer in the last minutes. Juventus had very limited time to answer so here we are. The problem started to be clear once again for them. Scoring productivity is once again not good enough...

If you look at their last 5 games carefully, you will see 3 draws with 0-0 scores. They are again suffering the same problem while being solid in defense. I hope Motta can figure a way out otherwise it might be really painful.

https://pune.news/sports/games-like-these-make-me-angry-juventus-coach-after-1-1-draw-vs-cagliari-245705

Motta is also unhappy.

Yes, Juventus played well but they were unable to hold onto the one-goal lead, this is the reason why a lead of only one goal is not enough in most of the cases. You never know when the opponent will be able to score. that might happen because you make a mistake or the opponent starts playing really well.

In the end, I will say that this match was not good for Juventus. Because first of all, they have missed out on three points, and at the same time they also had a red card. You know, Juventus had a very good chance to be on the second position. But I think the positive that they can get from this so far is that they have not lost a single match so far this season. But the problem is they have only one win in the last five matches. And they have done something similar at the end of the last season as well. For which they got heavily criticized as well.

Of course, a goal ahead of your opponent cannot guarantee you victory because at any moment, your opponent can equalize the goal as long as the match is not yet over. Leading with one goal only gives the the advantage of winning the match if it ends that way. Most clubs do put themselves back in the game and sometimes win the club that was leading

Juventus is not consistent and that will affect them in the long run despite being second on the table because they are only leading Inter with one point, and from Inter's last match, it shows that they're trying their best to see how they can be consistent in their matches.

Over the weekend in the Italian Serie A, former Manchester United goalkeeper David De was the hero after saving a penalty in Fiorentina's win against Italian giants AC Milan. His incredible performance in that game have drawn so much praises for the former Spain national team first-choice goalkeeper and the most notable of all these praises came from the club manager Palladino who in his words said "Trust me, he’s still a monster. David de Gea is still a top, world class player”. The truth is even before David De Gea left Manchester United, he was still a world class goalkeeper that was at the top of his games so I wasn't too surprised that De Gea is still delivering world class performances. What do you make of De Gea's impressive performances this season with Fiorentina?

That's sad. Juventus and Pogba have decided to part ways. They will let Pogba leave the club as a free agent starting in March 2025.

I think it's more a financial decision by the club. Pogba has a very high wage. But, things could change if he agreed to a big pay cut. However, I'm still thinking he's a liability if they keep him much longer. And they're completely fine without him on the squad.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

Genoa is not too much of strong team but in their last match with Bologna they defeated them which is giving me some confidence to believe that Genoa is also going to win in their next fixture expected to hold on 19th of this month. Genoa can actually fuck up even while playing at home, that's why I don't even want to put so much confidence in them. What do you guys think about their next match?

I guess that the final decision will definitely be a contract termination from both parties, maybe the best way is taken by Juventus who don't need Paul Pogba anymore.

I don't know how much Juventus have to pay for Pogba's salary every season, if it's too big then it will burden the club who have difficulty paying it but I'm sure this is the best decision.

Just waiting for the next news which team will be interested in Pogba? Some rumors circulating on social media that teams from MLS are also interested including the Arab League as well.

Juventus lost points in a match in which they took the lead with a goal in the early minutes.Juventus hosted Cagliari at home and lost 2 points with a penalty goal in the last minutes.They are the only team in the league without a defeat, but they are 3 points behind the leader in terms of points.They are one of the teams with the most draws with 4 draws.
Bologna is another team struggling to get a win.They had chances against Parma at home but couldn't take advantage of them and drew without a goal.I expected Bologna to score a goal, especially after Parma was reduced to 10 men early in the second half.

[Roseline492]

They missed so many chances owned by their attackers, and are struggling so badly to score goals. They recorded 65% possession, 15 shot attempts, and it's just to get a draw against a bottom of the table team.

The problem they have been having is the scoring because when we talk about performance they always show a good move but to score becomes the most difficult thing for them, if only the club will have someone very fierce in scoring they would have been having series of winning because a good number of matches they previously played they always outperform those clubs especially there last with Monza and if it was Monza that has half of the chance they had they would have win them, however since they are on the 9 position they still have a second chance, unfortunately for them next match will be a very dis comforting match for them because already they will loss the match.
