Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Slow death]

Next week we have 2 interesting matches from Serie A Juventus vs Lazio and AS Roma vs Inter Milan well Juventus and Lazio have the same points and both teams compete to secure positions in the Top 4 as a home team Juventus have the advantage to get 3 points but we know it's not easy.

The AS Roma vs Inter Milan game will be very interesting because Inter will be tested. Unlike last season when they were consistent, this season I have the impression that Inter are not as good as last season. In 7 games they won 4, drew 2 and lost 1. They will play against an opponent who is lucky to have a good defense, but they have a terrible attack. So in my opinion this will be a game where Inter's attack will be put to the test. Roma will probably play defensively to get out of this game with a draw. And I won't be surprised if the game ends in a draw. about the game between Juventus and Lazio Lazio, Juventus is similar to Roma. So I also expect a draw. I don't expect much from Juventus

[imamusma]

The presence of De Gea in Fiorentina does have a big influence on the match, because if Fiorentina does not play De Gea in the match I am sure Fiorentina will lose. Because anyway, based  on the head to head results, at least Milan beat Fiorentina quite often but at that moment Milan failed despite dominating the match well. Fiorentina managed to make Milan get a deadlock, despite having two penalty kicks but De Gea managed to handle it very well.

To think that David De Gea spent the whole of last season without a club, signed for Fiorentina during the summer transfer window and is now performing like the bedrock of of the team's defense is just to captivating. The Spanish goalkeeper at all the time he spent at Manchester United showed that he's a world class goalkeeper however, repeatedly delivering impressive performances at his current age tells more of his strength and personality. I hope he continues with his current form so his team Fiorentina can actually finish in a better position that they finished last season.

De Gea impressive performance in the match against AC Milan earned him various praises. Spending a season without a club did not reduce the quality of his game, in my opinion Fiorentina is lucky to have the former Manchester United player. If Fiorentina can maintain their consistency, they certainly have a chance to finish in the European zone this season.
De Gea presence has certainly increased Fiorentina chances, but still, finishing in the European zone is not an easy job. It takes a team that works together to achieve goals, and of course De Gea presence can have a big influence on improving Fiorentina overall performance. He is 33 years old, but in my opinion the Spanish player can still play for the next two or three seasons in Serie A. Fiorentina should consider a new contract for the goalkeeper, whose deal expires in June 2025, at the end of this season.

Inter seem somewhat less synchronized this season than the last one, however they are still occupying a very high position on the table. If we consider the experience they have scored within the record of the particular series of matches they have played they could be said to have stabile performance though they are not as dominative as they used to be in previous seasons. To the match, to beat this AS Roma who seems to have a tight defense but slightly weaker attack than the previous teams that the Inter faced, this match might pose a big test on Inter’s attack formation. Roma is most likely going to park the bus and seek for a draw, this will challenge Inter’s attackers to unlock a well-framed defense.

We can look to Juventus when they are going to play Lazio, both of course have some similarities to AS Roma, in that they seem somewhat more inclined to play a defensive style of football. Juventus have proved unconvincing this season, the match with Lazio may end in a draw in case Juventus fail to enhance attack efficiency. Since both these teams have been tight knit defensive teams this match also has the potential to be a low scoring draw. As it stands, I agree with your expectation of a draw with the current status of both teams, and it will be a good acid test for Juventus to show that they have it in them to remain among the giants.

Because anyway, based  on the head to head results, at least Milan beat Fiorentina quite often but at that moment Milan failed despite dominating the match well. Fiorentina managed to make Milan get a deadlock, despite having two penalty kicks but De Gea managed to handle it very well.

Firstly I'm really happy De Gea is finally settled in a team and for me i see him as an asset to that team, his prowess is one which isn't alien to the European football before he had to leave Manchester United in England because their coach felt he wasn't fitting into his plan as a coach at the point when he became the manger but then for Fiorentina i believe they will be seeing some massive improvement if they get to strengthen their defense as they wouldn't be expecting he does all of the job alone.

Yeah, very happy to see that De Gea is finally comeback to the pro scene after he has been out from playing football for several years since his contract with Manchester United was running out. He looks so happy when he is playing at Fiorentina. They seem treat him better than what Manchester United did after Ten Hag came as a new manager.

[Silence Scream]

Maybe Pogba has been a great player, but he has not played for quite a long time. and this was also expressed by Motta regarding himself before Juventus decided on the contract termination news. Motta's focus is on the present and he is concentrating on what he has and is still building at the moment.


Source: Thiago Motta on Paul Pogba’s return

What i have notice with this Thiago Motta is he is looking for a players that he can handle and not players that he will get the media coming after him if he doesn’t play them. Even before the ban Pogba was battling or struggling with fitness issue something I notice that Thiago Motta doesn’t like and the reason why players like Chiesa were sold off. I think they will agree on the termination and both parties will find their way which is good business to me. Pogba himself needs a club where he will get the maximum playing time and away from the media and the best place is his hometown. He still has the potential to show us his quality again for like 5 more seasons.

I think that if Pogba is ready enough to show us his true quality, he is a player who can continue to play with Juventus and show us his best game. I don't know if Motta will adapt him to the team. I read that he will be sent off at some point. If he is sent off, the team that will take him should be ready for everything. He could probably go to Saudi Arabia to earn money.

Yes, but Juventus is even better than Lazio, they have never lost in 7 last matches, while Lazio was humiliated by Fiorentina 2-1 in September ago. So, I think Juventus will not give away the wining easily for Lazio. Because they play in front of the fans who support them until the end of the match. But, I heard news if some juventus player can not play, Teun Koopmeiners, Gleison Bremer, and Nicolas Gonzalez which I think will affect their performance. I don't know who player can replace them, because on the other side those players become an important role for Juventus at the moment. So, this is an interesting match, that possible will end of draw if Lazio apply strong pressure to the three substitutes.

Juventus is in better position than Lazio because they have not lost in seven games. Lazio loss to Fiorentina in September is worry. Playing at home with supportive fans will help Juventus. But injuries to important players Teun Koopmeiners Gleison Bremer and Nicolas Gonzalez might hurt Juventus. Replacing these players is challenging since they are vital to team. This match is exciting and if Lazio pushes hard they might get a tie. So let's see what these both teams will do in the play ground.

[W Jr.]

In fact, we are not saying Roma is a bad team or that they can't have a good performance in this match, but all we say is about Inter Milan's performance. They were having an awesome performance recently in both the Champions League and Serie A, which is a good reason to say Inter Milan's chance for this match is much higher than that of a team like Roma.
Maybe if Roma had De Rossi working in this team, they could have a chance to get better results, but currently, I think they are going to lose it to Inter Milan.

Roma sacked Mourinho and hoped that they will get better results with De Rossi. The last season ended with no better results, no ticket to Champions League, no Europa League final match and nothing to say De Rossi did better management than Mourinho. After only some matches in this season, they sacked De Rossi and hire Juric, another coach who has never worked for any big club in his career. Results so far are not better than De Rossi had before the sack and maybe they hope that they did not fire De Rossi in this season, did not fire Jose Mourinho in the past season.

I think the Roma management are on a quest to reform the team and establish a new Roma where a winning mentality would be the standard of the club, that could be the reason behind consistent hiring and rehiring of coaches whenever they sense that things are not going according to plan. Jose mourinho came in with high hopes of trying to elevate the club but didn't achieve much before he was shown the way out and then De Rossi came also to do some remedial job but ended up being sacked as well, yet as awkward as it may look it is quite understandable that the management has Zero tolerance for failure and mediocrity and want to take the club to higher level than it is now unlike the management of Manchester united whom will always see reasons to retain a non performing coach at all cost.

I think Manchester United management really gives too many opportunities to the manager. They have had too many unsuccessful results and unsuccessful tournaments so far, but the manager still continues to be in the team. Roma, on the other hand, saw two cup finals under Mourinho's management and even though they won one cup, they sent him off the team. They have almost no tolerance for failure. This is actually something that should happen, every team management wants to see their team in the best way.

I think it is off topic to discuss about Manchester United here, but about Jose Mourinho, he won one UEFA Europa League with them. After Sir. Alex Ferguson, no other coaches can win any title in Europe for Manchester United. Jose is the only coach did it for their club and years after they chose Pogba and fired Mourinho, we saw how wrong that decision is.

Pogba never contributed his best for Manchester United and his career has fallen down since World Cup 2018. Manchester United performances don't improve in the last 5 years with 4 more coaches after Jose Mourinho. With Roma, they made bad decision to fire him too while he was happy there and dedicated himself for the club. Roma history already marks Jose Mourinho as one of their most successful coaches.

I think you're right, with how Paul has been even when he was with Manchester United during the time of Mourinho that he called him (Paul) a virus, the player had this stubborn head behavior and all these attitude started when he won the world cup with France, but come to think of it Paul could be a changed person because he wouldn't like a situation where people will start saying negative things about him after coming back to football.
Speaking about the media, he can't run away from it and I also feel that's the only way to easily kill off that much questions from the media, face them and give them all they want. Pogba can still perform very well no matter how long he has been off football duty, the thing is that understanding between him and the board and if Juve wants to terminate his contract then he needs to be making arrangements of getting a new club before the time he'll resume after he'll be a free agent it the Old Ladies don't want his services anymore.

The match between Juventus and Lazio will be a very tense match next week because both teams have almost the same strong performance and it will certainly be difficult to predict who will win this match, Juventus has a great chance because they play as the home team but the Lazio team also cannot be underestimated I think he will try to make it difficult for Juventus, especially if you look at the last 5 matches Juventus have had many draws when meeting weak clubs I think this match will also end in a draw I predict the possibility of them getting a goalless draw.

Both teams have the same number of points in the current standings and also overall the quality of the two teams is also not much different for this season so of course this will be a fierce match for both teams.
Playing at home may not make Juventus more favored, I think it's the same, especially now Juventus' performance has not been consistent since the beginning of the season, making Juventus' percentage to win I think not that big.
I saw some Juventus matches this season when facing top teams they tend to play very safe so the game tends to be boring and no goals are scored and I think that will also happen in this match.

I know that the two teams are on equal form, But Juventus will be without Francisco Conceicao due to suspension at this time. Nico Gonzalez, Arkadiusz Milik, and Gleison Bremer face long-term injury problems, while Timothy Weah and Teun Koopmeiners also struggle with fitness issues. Stars like Douglas Luiz and Weston McKennie are not highly regarded for their attacking ability. Coach Thiago Motta will have a headache when the Allianz Stadium team cannot find a way to deal with this crisis.
This is why I think Juventus and Lazio will not have a draw, this match I still lean a little towards Lazio.

Leaders Napoli will challenge Empoli in the continuation of Serie A week 8 this season. Napoli's performance has been quite impressive so far, although at the beginning they slipped a little by feeling defeated, but they were able to quickly recover and achieve victory after victory. Empoli is not a very strong team, so Napoli should be able to finish this match with a victory.
Empoli's advantage that can be seen is that they will play as hosts, that's all. While there are no other advantages that they can show from their statistics or from others. Conte will also definitely prepare his team as well as possible to ensure they can bring home 3 points.

Although Napoli will be favored, they must be wary of Empoli's game. They are strong enough when playing at home. In 7 matches this season they are unbeaten at home. Empoli held Juve and Fiorentina to a draw at home. Even the last meeting between Empoli and Napoli was also won by Napoli with a score of 1-0. Of course, the match could have ended differently, Napoli is currently playing better. But still can't underestimate Empoli who could give Napoli a surprise.

Juventus is really in pain right now and is very sad that they are having all this kind of issues on this period of the season when all the club are striving higher to build a good portfolio for themselves, actually I don't think this kind of thing has ever happened to them before, imagine how many players that would be missing there matches, actually we were even having a pity for real Madrid about the injuries some of there players was having but with what is happening to Juventu, real Madrid situation is nothing like theirs.

Gleison Bremer has the most severe injury than others because he has been ruled out of the season which is very bad for the club and this is going to affect them in so many ways because one whole season of his contract will just be on the beach and this could even affect his performance after recovery, also Francisco Conceicao on the other hand would have tried so much on this upcoming match against Lazio but he will not be allowed because of the red card, so actually this issues has made things very difficult for Juventus against Lazio.

Getting a goalless draw? It looks like it won't make sense.
We see H2H indeed the results we can see but look at how Lazio defense is still conceding and compare with the very strong Juventus defense.
Juventus only conceded 1x in 7 matches while Lazio conceded 11x. On the one hand both teams are always superior when hosting.
Well, from these results you can imagine how the match will run. And in my opinion the chances of Juventus won greater.

Currently Juventus Odds around @2.05 and Lazio @4.00. Even the bookmaker bet still favored Juventus as the winner.

It's very big match as Juventus and Lazio are very closely on the table, with 1 point more for Juventus. Lazio are playing better than expected in this season and they have better attacking power than Juventus with 4 goals more. In defense, Juventus is very impressive in this season with 7 matches and only 1 conceded goal, they have a best defense in Serie A. Winner in this match will depend on ability of Juventus in scoring goals, that is their biggest weakness in this season.

Leaders Napoli will challenge Empoli in the continuation of Serie A week 8 this season. Napoli's performance has been quite impressive so far, although at the beginning they slipped a little by feeling defeated, but they were able to quickly recover and achieve victory after victory. Empoli is not a very strong team, so Napoli should be able to finish this match with a victory.

Napoli are leading Serie A but they have to defend that position with pressure from many clubs. Empoli made surprise in early of season and they are falling down but they are not a weak team with impression they shown. Napoli are stronger, no doubt but they will have to play carefully for getting 3 points from Empoli. Napoli don't have big gaps against other clubs, from their first position to fifth position, gap is only 3 points and they can drop in rank after 1 or 2 bad matches.

Empoli is indeed quite solid playing at home 3 matches without conceding is quite good, but Napoli has many sectors that they can use to score goals, Lukaku is back sharp with Conte they are very suitable and also the arrival of the player who was bought from Man United he can score goals when his team has difficulty getting him, especially now Napoli is not safe enough to be at the top of the standings with a difference of 2 points from Inter I think they will work hard to get through this challenge.

Empoli is currently quite difficult to score goals and I think with Napoli's new strength this season they will not be able to be used by Empoli, Napoli this season is quite brilliant with Conte and I think Conte will plan something good for the banquet at Empoli, and my prediction in this match Napoli will win 0-2 over the host.

Napoli who are now managed by Conte are starting to find their best form in the league again, last season they continued to slump in the league and even the many changes of coaches were not able to lift their performance but this season they started the season quite impressively, despite having some obstacles at the beginning but Conte has managed to bring them back to a positive path and deserves to lead the Serie A standings for the time being,  facing Empoli who are currently ranked in the top 10 of course should be 3 easy points for them if remember at this time Empoli has also not found the consistency of their game, from head to head, Napoli has a good record when playing withEmpolibut they should also not underestimate Empoli because they are so far quite tough at home and have unbeaten including when facing Juventus and also Fiorentina, last season Napoli was must to give up from Empoli in both home and away matches, so indeed Napoli must remain vigilant and not underestimate Empoli even though currently the difference in position and quality is quite significant.
