Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Nanga Parbat]

Lazio does not have the ability to exceed Napoli this season so I predict more about a Napoli win than a draw for their match this week. Because Napoli will definitely play as well as possible at home in order to create a gap in points with Atalanta and several other teams because considering that currently Atalanta's points are still quite close to Napoli. As for Juventus, I cannot give a clear prediction because considering that Juventus' level of consistency has currently decreased so Juventus still has to improve their concentration better in order to win at home when hosting Bologna.

Juventus full strength football team performance is looking very bad in last few matches and Bologna full strength football team performance is at top because they won 3 matches out of 5 matches and they won last 2 matches which gave them confidence for the win against Juventus team. Juventus football team  players could not successful to win last 3 matches and all matches were draw and they won only 1 match out of 5 matches. But stats goes towards Juventus because Juventus won 1 match against Bologna and that team could not win any match against Juventus.Atalanta full strength team is giving all efforts to get first position and they are very closer and need only 1 win and they are waiting 1 lost by the Napoli team

However, I will like to play Napoli Vs Lazio over 2.5 and also Cagliari against Fiorentina; this because these teams looks like they will score more goals, and the odds will be better in that form than playing them to win.

For Cup/Coppa matches, you should be more careful because usually a lot of surprises and they don't play the main players, try checking the lineup before placing the bet
right now I don't see Lukaku as a starter he is on the bench and we don't know whether he will be played as a substitute or just watching, as we know Lukaku is one of Napoli's mainstay players to score and can imagine Napoli performance  without this player, especially when they play away. If in the first half one of them scored then there is a possibility of over 2.5 goals but if without a goal then my prediction  both teams will draw.

[AYOBA]

Inter Milan wins (1x2)
Atalanta - AC Milan; draw (1x2)

Genoa - Torino; draw and under

I think this is my betting choice if I choose parlay.

I will also predict Inter Milan to win the match because Parma is nothing against them unless there performance suddenly come up overnight which I even no that it will not happen and besides this is one the most important match for Inter Milan because already there space with Atalanta is becoming too much even if they are the top three, so if they have any lose now that's how they would be making there situation very tougher because as for Atalanta against AC Milan Atalanta will definitely defend there home towards wining the match but they will not draw however I don't no much about Goa and Torino because I use to avoid there games.

This season inter Milan have a good background, and that’s why a lot of people are having hope for them in this their upcoming match against Parma; because even I should playing a bet I will like given Inter Milan straight winning: in the table Atalanta is only ahead of them with just 3 points which in this their upcoming match I’m doubt that will that they will find the match very easy to win, so that they can able to secure their 3 points direct without facing any challenges.

[Akbarkoe]

Milan had a terrible transfer period, I knew that they would get worse because it was obvious from the players they sold and the players they got. They didn't get any decent players at all, I feel like they are going to miss a lot, the only player they got was Fofana and that is not really good enough at all, they need to focus on how to get a better approach to transfer window.

Plus, they got Fonseca as the manager, who did alright at Roma previously before Mourinho took over, and then went to Lille and did alright there, but he was never really a top team manager, we never saw him do fine like that in any top team before, hence it was a question mark on what he is seeing and that seems like the most important part without a doubt.

I think Milan is not completely bad because at the same time there are teams like Forentina and Lazio who have improved this season so Milan is not in the best position in the Serie A standings so far. However, eventhough Milan is in seventh position right now, I think Milan still has a chance to finish in the topsix because yes, for me this is still a reasonable result for Milan. If I compare them to Juventus, then I would be more disappointed with Juventus than Milan this season.

Also, even though Milan is not that good in Serie A, but Milan is still quite good in the Champions League by successfully beating Real Madrid at Santiago Bernabeu and that is a good result for Milan so far. So the point is,for me personally Milan is still in a good situation sofar, and I am sure Milan will still be able to  get better results for the next matches too.

AC Milan still really needs a lot of points to be able to compete at the top of the standings, they have only collected 22 points and are 4 points behind Juventus who are in sixth place. And it's true that even though at the beginning of the season AC Milan performed less convincingly, but for now it seems that AC Milan is able to rise and return to winning ways.

And in the next match, AC Milan will face Atalanta which of course is a tough test for AC Milan considering that Atalanta is a team that has performed quite well this season with no defeat in the last 9 matches in Serie A. However, this is a very important match for AC Milan to be able to rise to the top position, so AC Milan must be able to stop the points for the team that is in the top position of the standings.

If they do not immediately rise to perform consistently, then AC Milan will occupy the middle of the standings until the end of the season. The victory over Real Madrid in the Champions League was nothing more than luck, Paulo Fonseca still needs to work hard to be able to meet expectations. Overall, AC Milan seems to have difficulty finishing in the top four of the standings this season, although we know their chances in the future are still very open. The next match against Atalanta will be a tough test, it is very disappointing to see them thrown out of the European zone. Regarding Juventus, Thiago Motta squad is arguably still better than AC Milan, they are still able to maintain an unbeaten record despite playing too many draws.

Today we have a big match that will bring Napoli and Lazio together in the round of 16 of the Coppa Italia. As two teams that look very consistent in Serie A this season, Napoli and Lazio will now compete to see who is the best in the Coppa Italia and who can qualify for the next stage, namely the quarter-finals there.

I would probably favor Napoli because I think Napoli's ranking in Serie A is proof that this team is the most solid this season. Conte has succeeded in resurrecting Napoli from the downturn experienced last season and now Napoli have really turned into a strong team again. So Lazio will definitely have difficulties in this match. So I think favoring Napoli is the best choice for me.

So far Napoli is still able to maintain their performance and consistency which is quite good in the league, so indeed they deserve to be favored in the match, conte ability and experience as a coach has succeeded in turning Napoli into a strong team this season, however, Lazio also cannot be underestimated, no different from Napoli, Lazio has also managed to get out of a lot of pressure when facing big teams this season,  In addition, they have some mainstay players who I think are very solid and can often make a difference in the matches they play, the match  later of course will be very tight and I think the match will end in a draw and the winner will be determined through penalty kicks.

Napoli's performance this season is quite stable. Despite losing points in a few matches, the top spot in the points table is still occupied by Napoli. However, if Napoli cannot continue their winning streak, they will not be able to stay at the top of the points table. Napoli is only 1 point ahead of second-placed Atalanta.

In the last match, Lazio lost 3-1 against Parma. That is why Napoli is considered the favorite in today's match. However, I do not think Lazio is weak at all. Lazio has the ability to earn points against Napoli. Also, I have seen Lazio play well in the past matches against Napoli. Lazio has won two of the last 3 matches against Napoli and one match was drawn. However, the possibility of a draw today seems high.

We are enjoying a competitive match. I agree with you that there is no chance to underestimate Lazio. Even though Napoli is at the top of the table, Lazio has the full potential to get 3 points from this match. And today's match has also become very exciting. Although neither team has been able to score a single goal in 30 minutes.

Lazio missed an easy chance. Lazio striker Zaccagni failed to score from the penalty spot. However, Lazio's overall performance is better than Napoli so far. Lazio has 66% ball possession at the end of 30 minutes. Lazio players have been able to take 5 shots. On the other hand, Napoli are playing defensively and have not been able to take a single shot yet.

The game between Lazio and Napoli is getting close to thirty minutes of play and both sides have not scored any goal. The host is currently dominating the game based on ball possession and they also have five shots and one was on target. Napoli on the other hand have not had any shot which is surprising to me since they are the favourites. But the game still have more minutes to run and both sides will still create goal scoring oppurtunties.

Juventus full strength football team performance is looking very bad in last few matches and Bologna full strength football team performance is at top because they won 3 matches out of 5 matches and they won last 2 matches which gave them confidence for the win against Juventus team. Juventus football team  players could not successful to win last 3 matches and all matches were draw and they won only 1 match out of 5 matches. But stats goes towards Juventus because Juventus won 1 match against Bologna and that team could not win any match against Juventus.Atalanta full strength team is giving all efforts to get first position and they are very closer and need only 1 win and they are waiting 1 lost by the Napoli team

Juventus' poor performance cannot be separated from the inability of Juventus management to make decisions. What were they thinking when they recruited Tiago Motta as a coach. A big team like Juventus is coached by an amateur and mediocre coach like Tiago Motta who just retired as a player then decided to become a coach who has never won any titles and also has no achievements. The most disappointing thing is that Juventus' only great player like Chiesa was sold. Juventus' squad was overhauled and filled with mediocre players who have no experience. It can be said that Juventus is no longer a top team but a middle team.

Indeed, Juventus is currently one of the teams that has never lost in Serie A, but that is not an achievement if their current position is in 6th place with 26 points. From 14 matches they have only been able to win 6 times and 8 times, of course this is bad for a team like Juventus. The next match against Bologna, if Juventus' game is not changed when they are ahead but cannot maintain their advantage, they will lose against Bologna. Moreover, Bologna in the last two matches achieved a landslide victory and managed to keep a clean sheet, of course this will be a good capital to face Juventus later.

In my opinion the defense really doesn't need any tweaks, it already works quite well. However, in my opinion the department where we suck the most and I speak as a fan is the attack.
I'm not satisfied with our current attack, so in my opinion that's where we should improve.
Why did you mention the defense? in theory we are the team that has conceded the fewest goals

Not really? I mean yeah defense doesn't need tweaking that's true, because they have 8 goals scored on them so far, which makes it look like they are great, and only 22 goals scored, that could have been a bit more, but it is not terrible neither. What stats are not showing is that the return of having very low goals scored on them is the fact that they are playing quite defensively, which means that they are not going to concede many goals of course, but that's not a problem on offense to keep scoring when the idea is to keep the defenders at defense.

Look at City, they failed to win games for 7 games in a row, and yet when they were attacking, their defense still played all the way towards the attacking line, you could see Gvardiol, a centre back, shooting at times. Juventus doesn't have that help from defense when attacking, they leave the attackers all by themselves to score, which is why I do not expect attackers to do better, that part is wrong if you ask me, they need more help from defense and midfield.

Napoli won again, and I feel like Conte has brought the championship team back together, and this time even without Osimhen which tells more about Osimhen then it tells about Napoli to be fair. He was bought for 80 million so I am sure he will not be sold for anything cheaper than 75 million release clause, but at the same time I am looking at him at Turkey and he is not some marvellous striker there, he is doing good, but not insanely great, whereas Napoli wins even without him easily.

Conte managed to put all of his system in place without issue, and that's a rare sight in todays coaches, it's definitely a coaching thing where he is doing amazing and I am sure that players are responsible for getting to play that well for a while too but I feel like it's not that complicated in the end. All in all, I believe the best look for them at the moment would be just focusing on how to get better deals as well, shouldn't really be a problem but they need to keep winning.

Conte knows Serie A and the teams in this league more than any coach and you saw that once he joined Napoli. He helped Napoli get to improve a lot and he was the reason for this team had this good performance and he also knows how to manage the team when there is a problem just like how he could handle the situation with Osimhen since he didn't have good relationship with Napli Conte hired Lukaku and you saw Napli didn't have any problem one they lose Osimhen while Osimhen was the most effective player in this team.
Now Conte has started talking about the team, and he still wants to improve it. That's why he said that Dino De Laurentiis, the owner of Napoli, should spend more money on the Champions League.

Yeah, for sure, Conte has tried a lot for Napoli; if not, they will have lost form when they lost Osimhen in their team, but still, he made an early intervention that still helps them to maintain that standard because Lukaku has been trying his best for Napoli, and all this came as a result of the experience that Conte has in Serie A; if not, they would not have been in the stage that they are now. They will have Been suffering and not able to achieve anything, so to me, I think it will be very wise of Dino De Laurentiis to go with the advice of Conte in order to also try their luck in the Champions League because Conte is capable.

[ShowOff]

So far Napoli is still able to maintain their performance and consistency which is quite good in the league, so indeed they deserve to be favored in the match, conte ability and experience as a coach has succeeded in turning Napoli into a strong team this season, however, Lazio also cannot be underestimated, no different from Napoli, Lazio has also managed to get out of a lot of pressure when facing big teams this season,  In addition, they have some mainstay players who I think are very solid and can often make a difference in the matches they play, the match  later of course will be very tight and I think the match will end in a draw and the winner will be determined through penalty kicks.

Napoli on the other hand have not had any shot which is surprising to me since they are the favourites. But the game still have more minutes to run and both sides will still create goal scoring oppurtunties.

The score changed to 3-1 for Lazio victory, Conte starting XI was questioned, the manager benched Lukaku and Scott McTominay. Tijjani Noslin scored a hat-trick, indicating that Napoli defense looked too porous. Napoli will have difficulty making the match end in a draw, because the remaining time is getting little. Conte should have played Lukaku to increase their chances of equalizing.

Lazio looked very good at dominating possession, and they were also able to create more opportunities to pressure Napoli. Most likely Lazio will be able to beat Napoli today, they just need to focus on maintaining in the remaining time advantage. Napoli were actually very favored in this match, but luck was not on their side today. This defeat will make Napoli fail to advance to the quarter-finals, it is very unfortunate because they failed to take advantage of their opportunities well, altoght they only focused on domestic competitions this season.

Now Conte has started talking about the team, and he still wants to improve it. That's why he said that Dino De Laurentiis, the owner of Napoli, should spend more money on the Champions League.

Conte is one of those coaches who does have quite explosive emotions when talking about the seriousness of the formation, scheme and of course the players so when there is a condition where he doesn't really like Osimhen's arrogance, even though he is a very good player but he will not need the player.

This is the way Conte always does in order to make the club he manages run according to his will, when he is faced with Osimhen whose tempers and arrogance are very large then Conte will clearly reject it.
As long as Conte exists then Osimhen is difficult even impressed will not be able to be at Napoli so the only way for Napoli is to get rid of one of them.

[Webetcoins]

Napoli should be able to get this game, I am not sure of course because nobody can be sure and Lazio had a decent season so far as well, there is no doubt about that but I feel like Conte turned Napoli into a great team and they could be doing very well, there isn't really that many greater teams at Serie A right now, so Napoli is seen as they could beat any team in that league, doesn't matter which team they are playing, at least that's like that to me, I believe that, others could think differently.

Lazio is great, but Napoli is the leader and should be getting a win, I wagered to Napoli to win, and I am expecting this game to be not that easy, it will be a very close game and I think it's going to be a greater future without a doubt.

Conte and Napoli lost 3-1 against Lazio in Italian Cup.
Not a big deal for them, their only objective is to win the Scudetto, and having no cups is a better thing.

This is proven by they team they choosen to play with this evening, a lot of second choice players.

[GiftedMAN]

However, I will like to play Napoli Vs Lazio over 2.5 and also Cagliari against Fiorentina; this because these teams looks like they will score more goals, and the odds will be better in that form than playing them to win.

If in the first half one of them scored then there is a possibility of over 2.5 goals but if without a goal then my prediction  both teams will draw.

This prediction is what really happened in the game between Lazio and Napoli, Conte decided to rest some of his key players and Lazio took advantage of the chances they created score goals which which people never expected them to win the game considering the good form of Napoli. I believe Conte didn't take the cup match seriously otherwise I don't see any good reason why Napoli will be losing in the first half and the manager will be comfortable to keep Lukaku and McTominay in the bench until 70 minutes before they were introduced in the game. Since they lost in the cup match they will have no reason not to focus and chase the league title as their major achievement this season so be they have no other competition they will be playing again.

Less risk for injuries in a less important competition. It is true after all, every Serie A team is dreaming about the Scudetto more than any other cup, since Italian teams are quite far from winning UEFA Champions League title. The other UEFA competitions might be interesting too and they will concentrate at it along with Scudetto but not Italian Cup.
This round will be quite intense between Napoli and Lazio again in Serie A this time and between AC Milan and Atalanta. Well, Juventus - Bologna is the third interesting game after these two.

This game was impressive by Napoli and I think this makes them the favorite for the title in Serie A as well if they can retain this level of gameplay. I watched the game partially and it was one-sided, which I never thought would be the case. I thought Napoli would at least be halfway on eye-level with them, but Lazio could have won the game like 5-1. That was quite impressive and a serious statement made by Lazio to everyone. What a solid performance against their toughest competitor. It was the Coppa now, but I don't see why they wouldn't be able to play the same in the league games.

[TelolettOm]

I think Atalanta is far better in all aspects compared to the Milan atm. I do like how man on man's marking strategy by Gasperini. It's always doing very well in the big match, and i expect him to do that again soon. They get 2.06 for a home game, that's very tempting odds, but the gap to ward Milan is not that big.

Of course Atalanta clearly is a better team than AC Milan this season and the statistics authoritatively backs that claim. The 2:06 odd for AC Milan to win at home should tell you that bookmakers are doubting their abilities which is why they're backing the home team to win the game. No matter how tempting the odds for AC Milan to win are, I'll never stake my hard earned money on the AC Milan to win at Atalanta.

No offense, statistically their position in current matches, Atalanta are definitely much more favored. Unless during the course of the match, there are some things outside the expected line that can make the situation turn around and Atalanta cannot be optimal. Either way, even though Atalanta is much better, they still have to be vigilant, because basically Milan is not a weak team, it's just that they are often inconsistent and have worse performance. However, I saw their match in the Copa Italia, they were quite ambitious and made the best performance, until they could beat their opponent, Sassuolo with a score of 6-1, but of course, Atalanta is different.
