Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[bitcampaign]

They won, got full 3 points, the point is they won, whatever the conditions.
but if you look at the statistics, really, actually, they were very lucky, but they missed so many chances. and they were just lucky with this victory. How could it not be? Their opponent got a red card, but Juve was actually unable to score a single goal, and fortunately Lazio did OG, and this was super bonus luck for Juve. If there was no OG, it probably means there would be no goals, right? Hmm


Source: #Juventus 1-0 #Lazio

But indeed, so far, the number of Juventus GF is not that much, but their GA is very small, only 1 GA. Juve's defense is indeed very strong. But the attacking is still lacking, especially for the winger section.

Juventud won but not with a very good performance and what felt like a slim chance because the one goal difference was something that could be equalized almost immediately without having to stress enough but then they were lucky their opponent weren't aggressive enough to get an equalizer till the end of the game. Even with an early red card Lazio got at the 24th minute of the game they were still firm till the last minute when Juventus managed to get a goal which i don't see impressive playing against a 10 men Lazio teams and this has been the reason i always refer to Juventus as very inconsistent.

Not only that, the goal that was scored was also an own goal from the opponent which brought Juventus to win the match last night, although several opportunities achieved by Juventus, none of them produced results to break the advantage, in fact, the opponent's own goal brought Juventus to victory even though Lazio did not provide fierce resistance, at least Lazio's defense was quite tough even though it was a mistake by their defenders...

One thing I noticed is the fact the since the juventus team aren’t a goal scoring team it seems that juventus manager has actually relied on his defensive line to do the job perfectly for him. Personally I like the way Thiago Motta has actually handled this club deficiencies since arriving. I can’t say they have what it takes to win the league just yet but remember the saying that a good attack wins you games but a good defense gets you trophies,

With the way this Juventus team have playing against better opponents and still keeping clean sheets I think they will go all the way to challenge it this year. They are currently just three points off the leaders Napoli. So I see this as a three horse race as of now with Inter Milan yet to play against Roma

[Akbarkoe]

Playing at the San Siro should be an advantage but with the condition of AC Milan which is still not good it is not a more advantage for them, it appears that Udinese played better than AC Milan itself despite playing away, fortunately indeed in the first round they could get 1 Goal for the position of victory and play defending to maintain victory, and indeed fortunately the goal did not happen, which brought victory to AC Milan, and Breakwa AC Milan to 4th place in the standings.

AC Milan is indeed less interesting as you said playing at home but they are like playing outside the city, the score 1-0 for their victory Milan, they should be able to play better and also score many goals without having to play badly but they do not look ready at all to compete in the top 5 of Serie A this season, even though they are currently in 4th position but if they play like this they will finish in the middle of the standings, strategically Milan in my opinion is not suitable with Fonseca they should look for someone better than him because in terms of play they lost to Napoli Inter and also Juventus even though their squads are equally good but under Fonseca's coaching I don't see that, maybe today they are confident with that style of play but in my opinion they will lose in the next match.

In my opinion this is not about who the coach is, to be honest, Fonseca hasn't been long with squad and he needs time to adapt and have a wife with his players, I will not quickly conclude that they are not suitable because the process of building a soul together will be very difficult if the time is short, This returns to how Fonseca understands the players and how the players understand what the coach wants to do to be able to compete with the match, every mistake and failure must be passed in order to know the shortcomings and be able to learn, every victory is necessary to prove that there is something which can be achieved by using the strategies they use.

• Venezia vs Atalanta (Atalanta win)
• Cagliari vs Torino (BTTS)
• Roma vs Inter Milan (BTTS)

Of the 3 matches, it might seem very unreasonable if I choose to bet on Torino victory, which is currently the underdog team.
For me, it makes perfect sense because Torino performance looks better at the moment, although there are other reasons why bookmakers favor Cagliari, but I am very sure Torino can win.
And regarding the Roma vs Inter match, this will be a big match and I am very sure that even though Inter has a great chance of winning, Roma will still put up a fight.
Since Ivan Juric took over as coach with Roma, there have been many positive changes in the Roma squad. I hope this will be a win for me.

Although their position in the standings has a distance, because Torino is in a better position than Cagliari but in fact, in their last three matches they are also really very different. At least, Cagliari did not lose in their last three matches even though Cagliari previously played away against Juventus, but Cagliari managed to hold Juventus to a 1-1 draw. About Torino, the truth is that in the last three matches Torino got three consecutive defeats but indeed, the last two matches Torino lost against Lazio and Inter but with a good score of 3-2. Thus, although Torino got three consecutive defeats, but Torino is also not weak at all because the proof is that Torino also still managed to make such a good resistance.

About the match between AS Roma v Inter, although Inter are playing away but I am personally very confident that Inter will win. Because anyway, I'm still not sure about AS Roma's new squad and manager and I think AS Roma is still not strong enough. Therefore, then I believe Inter will maximize AS Roma's current bad moment, of course, to beat AS Roma at the Stadio Olimpico because at least, from their last three meetings in the previous season also that Inter always managed to  beat AS Roma.

What a horrible game this evening between Lazio and Juventus.
1-0 ended but Juve got 1 more man for over 1 half time but they were barely able to shoot.

3 shoots in the whole game and 1 goal scored with owngoal, way far away on being a good team able to win the league.

Next week big match in Milan with Inter.

In fact, there were 16 shots, 3 of which were on target. I didn't see the game but this is a common scenario for games with early send offs - the team left shorthanded completely closes down and the game most likely ends in a draw.
In addition, in favor of Juventus I can say that they did not concede a single goal in the next game. Only one goal was conceded in 8 games, this is impressive.

Lazio was actually able to keep pace with Juventus game at the beginning of the match, but indeed the red card was the start of the boring match in my opinion, not only Lazio fans were disappointed with the defeat but I think Juventus fans were also disappointed with their team performance in the match, where they playing againts 10 players but their win precisly lucky with an own goal after Gila failed to anticipate the ball well, I think Juventus really have a big problem in their attacking line, although they have a solid defense but in that match they actually look like they don't have creativity in their attack, so obviously this must be corrected immediately by motta before facing Inter Milan in the next Serie A match.

AS Roma vs Inter Milan is one of the last two matches this week. AS Roma will act as the host but Inter Milan is still statistically much better than AS Roma. It is quite difficult to predict this match actually, because both clubs have the potential to win even though on paper Inter Milan's chances are still higher.
One mistake will be paid dearly by both AS Roma and Inter Milan in this big match. So as much as possible they must be able to minimize mistakes so that they do not get losses from mistakes that they could make. AS Roma is in an unstable condition so this can be utilized by Inter Milan.

Although they were only able to win narrowly when hosting Lazio at the Allianz Stadium, this victory was very important for Juventus who are keeping their distance from Napoli. Juventus were also able to keep a clean sheet in this match and became the club with the fewest goals conceded in the Top 5 European Leagues this season (1 goal conceded). Juventus have already fulfilled one requirement to win the Scudetto with the best defense, but Thiago Motta must be able to sharpen the sharpness of the front line to score more goals to prevent losing points so they can continue to compete with their rivals.

Things were not easy for Juventus in this game but still they are able to secure another win which give them 3 points and chance of staying at the top teams currently Juventus is only team which lost no game in this season even their attack is not working as they needed, but they are having good chance of staying into good spot with tight defense and good strategy Thiago Motta is doing decent work but still we need their attack more aggressive.

If Old Lady wants to have better chance of win here in this season Scudetto we need their attack at his best because we have the least goals from them in this season which are surely not acceptable if any team is looking for title race now their challenge is Inter Milan which is going to visit Turin for next round this could be one of the best match at the top of Serie A in next round.

Roma team  is not favorite team for this match. This match will be happen in Stadio Olimpico stadium. Inter Milan team will play well in this match and I am supporting this team and players of that team are good.Inter Milan team is winning the matches back to back . If we will see the head to head record then we will get that Inter Milan will win this match easily by high margin. They won four matches our of 5 matches and they lose one match . Inter Milan has good position on points table and they have 14 points on points table and has firm position.

In many aspects Inter Milan deserves to be more favored, we realize AS Roma will benefit by acting as the host. Head to head meetings between the two teams in five matches show, Inter Milan managed to win 4 matches and lost once. AS Roma needs to work hard to make luck to secure full points, in my opinion the best result they might get is to end the match with a draw.
Simone Inzaghi certainly understands the meaning of losing points in today match, his team will have difficulty maintaining the Scudetto if they continue to lag behind Napoli who are currently leading the standings. Besides that, Ivan Juric efforts to bring his squad closer to the European zone are quite difficult.

Roma vs Inter

Roma (confirmed lineup): Mile Svilar, Gianluca Mancini, Evan N'Dicka, Angelino, Mehmet Zeki Celik, Nicola Zalewski, Kouadio Kone, Bryan Cristante, Paulo Dybala, Lorenzo Pellegrini, Artem Dovbyk.

Inter Milan (confirmed lineup): Yann Sommer, Benjamin Pavard, Francesco Acerbi, Alessandro Bastoni, Matteo Darmian, Nicolo Barella, Hakan Calhanoglu, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Federi

Roma has been in Inter cage for almost two seasons which they are really suffering that upto today and I don't see their free anywhere near due to the current form of both teams, Inter seems to be too powerful than Roma but who knows maybe Roma will lift the ban of not winning against Inter tonight, but to me I will be surprise to see that coming. This match will be very tough because Roma will not like to give a chance since they are the one hosting the opponent and they will try by all means to put an end to this embarrassment.

[Unsoldier]

There are some beautiful matches in the Italian Serie A today. But I think the best match of the day will be Roma vs Inter. Roma didn't start the season well. They didn't start well last season either. In the last part of last season they signed De Rossi and they had good results. They started this season with De Rossi. But they started badly again. After parting ways with De Rossi, they signed Ivan Juric. But they are still not getting good results. We can say that Roma are going through a bad period. On the other hand, Inter didn't start the season well either. But they got good results in the last games. They currently have a 3-game winning streak. They beat Udinese, Red Star and Torino in their last 3 games. I think they will be the favorites for this match.

The performance of almost every team in serie A this season has been erratic and weak. Napoli at the top of the table have lost one match and drawn one. A strong team like Inter Milan has won only 4 out of 7 matches. Roma, on the other hand, started the season very badly. It cannot be said that this team is in good form even at the moment. Roma are unbeaten in their last 5 matches. However, Roma has drawn in all three matches.

Despite Inter Milan's erratic performance, there is no doubt that Inter Milan still have the strongest squad in Serie A. The players of Inter Milan have scored a maximum of 16 goals in 7 matches. However, due to the irregular performance of the defenders, this team lost points in a few matches. However, if you want to occupy the top spot in the table, you must continue the winning streak.

Roma have won two and drawn three of their last five matches. Interestingly, Roma have won both home matches. Today's match is also Roma's home match. Even if the opponent is strong, Roma will probably want to win this match as well. So I am looking forward to a competitive match.

The match promises to be exciting. Inter, despite their recent struggles with form, remains the favorite, especially considering their head-to-head history with Roma. Inter has dominated in most of their recent encounters, which tilts the odds in their favor. Although both teams have shown inconsistency, Inter still appears more solid, even after dropping key points. Roma, under new coach Juric, has improved, but recent losses cast some doubt. With a strong lineup, Inter has a good chance to win, though the match will likely be tight due to both teams' unpredictable form.

[xzone]

Early kick off games don't usually bring out good results and I'm not surprised that for the whole of 90 minutes, it's just one goal that could be produced and it came from a penalty. Napoli are really on a winning streak and who's to say they can't be contenders for the title by the end of this season because do far they've shown that it's not a one time thing and have won three of their games in a row.

 Antonio Conte is really proving to critics he's got the stuff to lead a club like Napoli and to be frank I'm enjoying the way they are soaring. At least, even with the absence of Osimhen, they can still do great things so I'm looking forward to their performances this season.

Napoli's performance in recent weeks is not bad. They are not playing very successfully but the important thing is to get 3 points from the match and they are managing to do that.
They do not have a very dominant football, they do not have a great style of play but they are still at the top of the league and the point gap with their opponents will continue to widen as long as they continue to win matches like this

[bangjoe]

Rumagnoli got a red card in the 24th minute so Lazio couldn't match Juventus' game and instead they were more defensive and didn't make several attempts to attack. Lazio have done their best in the match even though they were short of players because they got a red card. Juventus on the other hand did not appear solid because even though they were superior in number of players they were unable to score several goals that should have been confirmed well.

I also saw Juventus' performance and appearance were not so impressive when playing against Lazio at their home ground because Juventus should have been able to win more with players who were still quite complete. But in reality Juventus only won through one own goal from Mario Gila in the 85th minute where those were quite crucial minutes for the home team like Juventus. And I think if Lazio had played with a complete number of players until the end of the match, I think Lazio would not have lost and even had the potential to win if the attacks they built could have been better.

If only Mario was crazy not trying to block the kick, they could be held by Lazio Provenel goalkeeper, because it made the direction of the ball turn to the goal and make it a goal for Juventus, if that didn't happen, the match would end in 0-0.
But from the mastery of the Juventus ball is very good, I see from the 70% statistics of ball possession they can get when dealing with Lazio which in my opinion Lazio is also a strong team in Serie A, the Juventus game plays pretty well, it's just that their attack lines are lacking Good.

Their performance its not great neither.
In this month they won a lot of game true, but they also played a lot versus weak opponents.
And sometimes the also got lucky with referee decision.

I don't know if you have seen it but the penalty they give to them today was bizarre.

Roma has been in Inter cage for almost two seasons which they are really suffering that upto today and I don't see their free anywhere near due to the current form of both teams, Inter seems to be too powerful than Roma but who knows maybe Roma will lift the ban of not winning against Inter tonight, but to me I will be surprise to see that coming. This match will be very tough because Roma will not like to give a chance since they are the one hosting the opponent and they will try by all means to put an end to this embarrassment.

Looking at the last meeting of the two teams, Inter Milan is indeed superior, so in this match I think S. Inzaghi's troops can bring home 3 points at the Stadio Olimpico, bookies also favor them by giving odds of 1.95, hopefully they work harder because under the new coach AS Roma has shown positive things so far.
Well, the match has started, Inzaghi's troops appeared aggressive in the early minutes and created several opportunities, Roma's game was also good enough to keep up in the first half that had finished.
The temporary score is still 0-0 for both teams. Inzaghi needs to change his strategy in the second half because 3 points are very important to get closer to Napoli who are at the top of the standings.

Both Roma and Inter are performing very well and neither team is able to score, but they are trying hard to prevent the other team from scoring. Half time is over in the match But so far no team has managed to score a single goal. Inter can score at the last minute Because they are always keeping the ball in their control most of the time.And Inter is a strong enough team I will not say that Rama is not a good team. But Inter is a stronger team than them

The first half is over, Roma was the side that looked more positive in the first half, for me they can do better in the second half. Roma was the side that played the game they wanted in the first half.
After Hakan Çalhanoğlu left the game in Inter, the midfield efficiency dropped a lot, I expected this to happen after he left the game.
Inter coach Simone Inzaghi was also in a panic and received a yellow card.

The game was balanced with both sides vying for supremacy on the field. Roma may have looked positive in the first half, yet overall strengths were not so far apart. Inter also created a great midfield by bringing off Hakan Çalhanoğlu, who also helped Indonesians to press very high after losing the ball in their buildup play, but still they just about ceded possession. For those who did not fall further than the midfield, they still had to navigate through the Inter line, which on both flanks provided a lot of movement for the game. Hence, perhaps not surprisingly, There was no score when the second half started., an indicator that this game was very tight. Both outfits probed with each other but with rearguards standing extremely firm no openings of note, So no goals have been scored yet. Hence it was on one of those typical games likely to end drawn unless a crucial moment or mistake falls the way of one of the teams in the dying minutes.

The match has ended for a final score of 0-1. Inter won the match with the only goal from Lautaro Martínez in the 60th minute. As you said, the match was balanced because both teams created opportunities, but only Inter could score in this match until the game was over.

Thus, Roma has failed to win 3 matches in a row. Roma lost to IF Elfsborg 1-0 in the Europa League, were held to a 1-1 draw by Monza and just lost 0-1 to Inter. Roma are in poor form at the moment, so a home game against Dinamo Kiev for the Europa League is also a bit in doubt. Roma have not won two consecutive matches in the Europa League, so they may need to win the third match.

Which is interesting because they had the worst possible start into the season. After that first match I thought that this is going to be an immensely tough season for them, but they got those issues solved quickly.

I am not sure whether I have ever seen a team like Juventus Turin conceding only a single goal in 8 games while having dropped 8 points already in the season. Man it must be a nightmare for those Juventus Turin fans to see their team neither score goals nor concede goals. How boring must it be to be a Juventus fan these days?
