Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Xcode7]

The good news for AC Milan is about their Algerian player Ismaël Bennacer. It seems this player is getting ready to get back in the good form and help his team soon. Ismaël Bennacer got injured while he was training with his national team and he was out for a long time which even made AC Milan worried about this player.
Since he posted about his situation on X. He has been in Doha and getting back in good form to play in AC Milan.

I don't overreact to this because the midfielder position at AC Milan is now quite adequate and Ismaël Bennacer has also been injured for a long time so after recovering from injury Ismaël Bennacer also needs time to be able to return to his top performance so I don't think he can immediately get the main place now in the AC Milan team. Besides, overall Ismaël Bennacer's performance is also mediocre.

Inter Milan, AC Milan and Atalanta all managed to win in yesterday's UCL match. And what was most surprising was Atalanta who managed to beat Young Boys with a score of 6-1. Inter Milan only narrowly won 1-0 against Leipzig, while AC Milan managed to win with a score of 2-3.

Young Boys is similar to Slovan Bratislava because these teams can be recognized as the weakiest team in Champion league even i have to says impossible for them to qualified to the next round so i have no wonder why Atalanta can win with big scores from Young Boys but i feel a bit disappointed with AC Milan performance yesterday because their performance is not impressive and even Milan have to hard struggling to gets the winning result from Slovan Bratislava but luckily Slovan Bratislava player has been received a red card which makes them unable to equalized the scores and i think conceded 2 goals from weak team just like Slovan Bratislava is not good for Milan and Paulo Fonseca should be evaluate this result

[SmartCharpa]

But it is extraordinary to see that the rankings from 2 to 5 are still maintaining their points score, which has remained the same since the past few weeks. Atalanta, Inter Milan, Fiorentina and Lazio still have the same points, namely 28 points. Meanwhile, Juventus and AC Milan are really quite far behind at the moment, especially AC Milan.

Even though the season is not yet over, I do not consider AC Milan or Juventus to be championship competitors this season. Juventus is suffering with several injured players, and they have failed to sign many players for Motta, which I believe is contributing to their current drop in performance. Despite this, Juventus has yet to lose a league game this season. Ac Milan, on the other hand, has the best players, but they struggled to win games, and I feel they will lose the Champions League spot at the end of the season.

All the clubs on the second to fourth positions are threat to Napoli and don't also forget that Inter know how to stay strong for so long, and they are always among the title contenders from season to season. I know that Fiorentina and Atalanta are fully in form but it's for them to continue in this great form till the end is what no one knows if it will be possible or not. As for Lazio, I don't see them lasting long on top of the table. This season is not easy for Napoli like last two season that they won the title for the first time.

Actually, Napoli cannot feel comfortable at the top of the league at the moment since they are threatened by the positions and points of four other clubs. Since we have known Inter Milan for so long, they do not give up easily when their goal is to win the league title, so Napoli can't lose or draw any of their games right now. Inter Milan won the title the previous season, and I do not doubt that they will work hard to fight for it once again. Moreover, Napoli must win every league game because they aren't playing in any European tournament this season, it's the only way Conte will be successful against the four clubs who currently have the same points.

[Jatiluhung]

I hope that the fierce competition that is happening in Serie A today can last until the end of the season, so that we can see more competitive competition will occur later in the scudetto race, Lazio victory over Bologna makes many teams currently a threat to Napoli at the top of the standings, because with such a narrow point difference between the top teams,  of course every match can change the position of the standings significantly later, Lazio has shown a strong and consistent performance, so if Lazio can maintain this consistency, of course they have a great chance to compete with teams such as Napoli, Inter Milan, Juventus, Atalanta and Milan to win this season.

yeah, I hope so. Because it has been a long time since the competition in Serie A has been this fierce. Usually one team has shown strong dominance since the start of the season and they make a big difference from the middle of the season. But right now it doesn't seem like that's happening. because of all the teams currently ranked in the top 5, one of them can even immediately overtake Napoli who is ranked 1st in just 1 match. Because the difference in points is so very small that it really makes it no longer easy for us to predict which team will win the title this season. Last season, it was always quite easy for us to make predictions about the team that would win Serie A. Because everything was always clear from the middle of the season. But this season everything is still difficult to predict because the fierce competition looks like it will continue even until the middle of the season and maybe until the end. because all teams appear to have performances that are not much different from each other.

Juventus' front line is not very productive so we can see how the match goes and maybe they need to consider buying another striker after Vlahovic's injury. The problem is that the club's finances will make it a little difficult for them to find a potential striker who has the best ability and buying a player with such quality will force Juventus to spend a lot of money. The competition to reach the top three in the standings is also not easy, especially if it is not supported by a productive front line.

Now there are four teams that still have the same number of points in Serie A with a gap of only one point over Napoli who can still be at the top of the standings at this time. Meanwhile, Juventus has started to lag behind three points with the other four teams and four points with the top of the standings so there is some truth as you said that Juventus needs to bring in a better striker so that they can score more goals in each match this season. Because in terms of time, Juventus is still not too late to do that when the transfer market opens.

Indeed, Juventus needs a high quality attacking player to perfect the attack line. But the problem is as @ancafe said that finance is the main problem experienced by Juventus at this time.
We all know that currently Juventus continues to sell its potential players to get big money and improve its finances which are currently in a bad state. So Juventus should not need to focus too much on potential players with high prices but it is better to choose experienced players to get their contribution and at a cheaper price or free agent status.

There still remains very tight competition and as you can see that not so many points separate teams who are still competing for the championship title. If there's a team that can bump their way up in position, it's Juventus, as their goal productivity could also pick up. The best way to do that is to maximise existing players’ ability while observing the entrance of new players who can become immediate impact players once the transfer window comes calling.

For example, perpetuity in the game is what keeps us competitive at the top, as well as consistency in the game in each and every match. Lifting off the burden of the attacking line can be by the support of midfield that will create sharper chances away from the attack. However, if applied on the right note and with maintained enthusiasm Juventus still have the right opportunity to fight until the end of the season with proper results again with the teams above them.

The Italian teams really performed greatly yesterday even though the only difficult match was Inter Milan against Leipzig because Leipzig is a major team in the German Bundesliga so am not surprised that Inter Milan was only able to score just a lone goal. AC Milan and Atalanta's opponents are quite easy to defeat even though AC Milan narrowly won but the three points they got from their opponent counted and that is what matters most.

And today Juventus and Bologna will also compete in the UCL. But I doubt Juventus will succeed in beating Aston Villa. And I also doubt that Bologna will be able to beat LOSC. But it would be extraordinary if Juventus and Bologna also managed to win today's match.

Juventus can't be trusted in their game against Aston Villa today because their performance is not stable likewise Aston Villa because Aston Villa has experienced some flops in their recent matches but since the both clubs played draw against their respective opponents in their last league matches, i feel they may likely get similar result in their match today. For Bologna against Lille, it is very obvious that Bologna can't win Lille, considering how formidable Lille have become in the champions league, so it may likely end in favor of Lille or they conclude in a draw.

Meanwhile, Inter Milan is currently ranked first in the UCL standings. But Liverpool will probably take back first place from Inter Milan if Liverpool manages to win today's match against Real Madrid.

Inter Milan has performed so well in their champions league games so far, they should enjoy the feelings of being at the top of the champions league table till another team probably overtakes them. It may not be Liverpool, but if Inter Milan still remain consistent in winning more matches, they may likely still be at the top of the table.

I completely agree with you. Juventus really needs very good attacking player to make their team stronger. But problem is that Juventus is having money troubles. This is big problem for them. Considering their situation it makes sense for Juventus to focus on getting experienced players who can help team right away and who do not cost too much money or are even free. This way Juventus can solve their money problems and also get players who can make a big difference. By doing this Juventus can make their team stronger without spending too much money.

[samuraijin]

It seems that no matter what type of coaching/management team arrives at Juventus, the club continues to have injury crises. It's been like that for years. Muscle injuries occur too frequently. It's gotten to a point that players have to play out of position just to fill the void left by their teammates. Koopmeiners played in attack against Milan and he was awful. After the match ended, news started to appear that he was playing with a high fever and couldn't miss the match because many players were already unavailable.   

I don't know why, but in the last few seasons Juventus has had the most problems with the attack, they can't find a good forward and in general, Vlahovic is too unstable, and in a situation where Milik and Vlahovic are injured, the team is left without attacking potential. Last season they were forced to use Chiesa in attack, but he is nominally a midfielder. Maybe they don't want to spend money, but Juventus' attack has long needed strengthening.

With Juventus' financial problems the club are always considering recruiting players, especially those in the potential striker position because they are definitely expensive. This summer, Juventus only recruited a striker with a loan option and the striker does not have good abilities in the front line. They still rely on Vlahovic and now everyone's worries are happening. Vlahovic is injured and Juventus does not have a good backup striker. Juventus must start thinking about recruiting a potential striker in the January transfer window if they do not want to experience a further decline.

Honestly, in my opinion, Vlahovic is still not very sharp in the front sector, and added to the midfielders who do not contribute much in providing passes, Juventus really have to find a replacement for Vlahovic so that Juventus does not rely on their wingers who double as single strikers, in my opinion Juventus' current finances are still fairly stable to buy forwards or midfielders so that everything runs according to tactics, at least Juventus must move quickly in hunting for players in the transfer market later in determining the right player for Juventus.

Roma is also a team worth considering and they are a top Serie A team so Napoli's 1 goal victory over Roma I think is reasonable, this is a difficult match for both teams and regardless of the result of the victory but the most important thing is Napoli managed to get 3 points in this match.
Now the competition at the top of the Serie A standings is quite fierce and I think it will continue to happen until the end of the season and for Serie A teams it is quite difficult to maintain consistency so we will see some teams at the top of the table now slowly being eliminated and only leaving a few teams to compete for the Scuetto this season and I think there will be Napoli among those teams.

Roma is a remarkable team but AS Roma has not been able to provide what is desired due to frequent changes in the recent period. Jose Mourinho started the coaching journey and a few more names came and left the club quickly, all of these could not put the team into a complete system. Napoli is one of the strong candidates this year, although Inter is very dominant, their candidate is also a Roma win was very important.

Roma's future doesn't look bright as they have only managed to win three games so far.

The points from the team that is in the second position to the team that is in the 5th position are absolutely the same, 28. Napoli is ahead by only one point and that is 29. So it seems like in this season it is going to be a good competition for the league title. At least if the top teams continue playing like they are doing right now. I also want to see a better performance from Juventus. Even though they are in the 6th position, they are actually falling off a little bit. They are three points behind compared to the team that is ahead of them.

I do not think Roma is actually going to be in competition for the league title. The performance had been pretty bad. And I think from this situation it is going to be hard for them to even finish in the top four positions, let alone compete for the title.

The Serie A standings table is quite exciting, because there are 5 teams that are currently competing and even they have points that are not far apart, also in position 6 which is currently occupied by Juventus, their points gap is also not too far apart and that is because of the draw they got when facing Ac Milan.
I hope this kind of competition will last until the end of the competition. Just imagine when the league has 3 more matches left while the points gap they show is like this. Yes, even though the possibility is small, because as the league progresses there is usually something that makes some teams have to achieve bad results.

[Pokapoka124]

Lucky them that Napoli was dropping points already or otherwise they would be miles behind in the table despite not losing any games. Next stop is Aston Villa for them and it is probably not going to be another draw without goals.

Yes, the gap between Milan and Juventus is quite a lot from the teams at the top. It's just that for Serie A, the competition is very tight. In fact, the points of the clubs from top 1 to 5 are only 1 point different and even exactly the same. So every match in Serie A is very influential on their next position. They must be much more vigilant with this one condition.

Yes AC Milan so far is the biggest loser I think. They aren't any worse than the other leading teams on paper in my opinion, but well, on paper is worth nothing if they can't bring it into the game. But their performances is so volatile. They beat Real Madrid in the Bernabeu stadium and fall so far behind in the domestic league. But the funny thing is that they dropped points against teams like Cagliari and Parma. Atalanta is taking place very soon, which could very well end in another setback for them. They could be like 15 points behind the top in just a couple of weeks from now and then the season essentially has barely any value for them. It would be a lot about making it not look too worse.

I don't think AC Milan are worse than others on paper. AC Milan are in fine form in the Champions League this season, even securing a victory against Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabéu. Their performance is the domestic league has not been as impressive but I don't consider them the biggest losers. This inconsistency might be due to player fatigue or injuries. I think AC Milan are a good club with the tactical ability to perform under pressure and secure victories. I'm confident that by the end of the season, they will qualify for the Champions League again.

The table looks actually very funny when they are at the tail of each other and situations like this are very rear because imagine four clubs having the same point and just one point behind the club leading so this is one hell of a challenge because anyone can take over the leading position and that is one I said this is like one of the most intresting thing and juventus have a different point and they only have like 25 points and juventus have not been in their best form and they are not even part of those that will make the top three this season because they already finding their self in a bad position.

We all know that the competition will not continue like this for sure but this period their is going to be a serious drag among the clubs because seen the four of them just makes everything more and more exiting because all games are going to be very tight because of how they manage to get their selfs stuck on the same point is just very hilarious. And when juventus played against AC Milan it's the worst for both of them because they just end up drawing the game.

Yes, i must say that this round of matches was very satisfying for the Italian side
Obviously we shouldn't dream too much, further down the line there are really strong teams that certainly won't be easy to face, but as i always say you has to play one game at a time
Meanwhile, let's start with these

[Minecache]

Most importantly, he hasn't even seen the winter transfer break yet, lets see what he is willing to do or even Roma is willing to do. If they can get some good players then we could see them get better. At the very worst case scenario, they will just stay at Serie A, not going to relegate and they are not going to end up with any European competition next season and just try again all over.

After spending a lot of money, which they refused to give Jose Mourinho in his two and a half season, I believe that Roma will not spend considerable budget for player transfers in the winter transfer market. If they can loan some players, they will do it, but purchasing new players sounds impossible.

Ranieri will have to make all of his plans to improve Roma and rescue them with players he has now.

I think they have just followed a trend with Mourinho. Everyone knows that he is not the best coach when he is coaching the club for the third year consecutively. And I think as soon as they saw him bringing in bad results, they thought it was not going to be good for them to keep him any longer. But what was really disappointing is that if you change a coach, you generally look to bring a coach who is actually better. But it almost looked like they were bringing in a coach who was actually a downgrade. The decision did not make sense to me. And the decision of sacking Mourinho did not make sense to me in the first place and of course, now they are suffering.

The good performance in UCL did not continue in Serie A, the inconsistent performance made Milan have to be satisfied with being in 7th place. Milan need to improve their performance if they want to compete again in the top four because this season is much more competitive than the previous season. Three consecutive wins in the UCL must be maintained in Serie A, now they are starting to lag 6 points behind Juventus who are one rank above them, Milan still has the opportunity to reduce the gap to 3 points because they still have one match left.
Yes, Milan is a good club and they are also one of the successful clubs in Serie A, but without being supported by good performance to achieve positive results, they will have difficulty competing in the Champions League zone.

Yes, even though the possibility is small, because as the league progresses there is usually something that makes some teams have to achieve bad results.

The fierce competition in Serie A this season makes every team have the same chance to be able to become champions, I think every next match will be very crucial for the team that is on the scudetto path this season, because every win and loss will greatly affect chances and also their position in the standings later, if the point difference remains thin until the end of the season as you said,  of course we can see one of the most tense end of the season happening in Serie A and that is different from the previous seasons where there were often only two teams competing until the end of the season.

[Pmalek]

This summer, Juventus only recruited a striker with a loan option and the striker does not have good abilities in the front line.

Are you talking about Francisco Conceicao? He is not a striker like Vlahovic. Francisco is a right-wing player. He has been pretty good so far and in decent form, considering his young age. After Nico Gonzales got injured, he became a regular starter on the right wing. He has scored a couple of goals and has a few assists as well.

It's true that he wasn't bought and is only at Juventus on a one-year loan. But there is a buy-clause in his contract worth €30 million, and Juventus will surely discuss this with his club and purchase the player unless something really bad happens in the meantime.

* Empoli - Udinese => Empoli
 * Venezia - Lecce => Venezia
 * AC Milan - Empoli => AC Milan
 * Bologna - Venezia => Bologna
 * Parma - Lazio => Lazio
 * Torino - Napoli => Napoli
 * Lecce - Juventus => Juventus

I'll try this bet and see if it works well, very aggressive I must say but it's a game anyway

Where is the aggressiveness in this bet? You have chosen the favorites. The final odds will be quite high (by the way, it would be good if you indicated the odds that interested you), but I don?t see that this bet will work, there are at least 3 potential draws here.
Empoli - Udinese, Venezia - Lecce, in my opinion, a complete random. I would choose the favorites and better bet with a handicap to get the same odds with fewer outcomes.

This bet is very aggressive because there are many matches, they are part of a single bet.
there are 7 games: clearly i has chosen the favourites, but you also understand that it is not easy to win such a big bet, so it is difficult and aggressive
It's not crazy of course.
