Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[MAAManda]

It is very unfortunate that Inter failed to get 3 full points from Bologna even though I think this is a very important match for Inter because if Inter could get 3 points it would certainly make Inter's points the same as Napoli. But on one hand I also admire the quality of Bologna's game, they appeared very confident and Bologna was very great at being able to open the first goal in that match but fortunately Inter was able to reply to that goal and finally a fierce battle took place. But I think one day Inter will definitely have the potential to shift Napoli's position as long as Inzaghi can make Inter's performance even better and I hope that in the next match Inter can win when competing and of course Empoli will definitely be defeated by Inter in the upcoming match. In my opinion, Napoli currently needs to be vigilant because of course Inter, the champion last season, will try to shift Napoli's position and of course Inter wants to win the Scudetto again.

Hey, this is a wrong understanding regarding the condition of the standings in Serie A. Before the Inter Milan - Bologna match, Inter Milan had 43 points, which if they got 3 points when facing Bologna, their total points would only be 46 points, being 1 point behind points belong to Napoli. Then, it's not that easy to shift a team that has great confidence. Don't you remember the 2022/23 season? they are irreplaceable at the top.

Juventus seems to still be in their draw curse, and Atalanta also got 3 draws in a row. As expected Juventus is implementing a more defensive game with quite effective counterattacks.

Their "effective" counterattack strategy has lost them 26 points to date, at which point I will start asking myself what is so effective in this.

I saw their counter-attacks were quite effective when facing Atalanta, not the whole match that Juventus had.
Juventus played defensively because they realized that their front line was less productive. but when the match faced Atalanta, you could see Juventus under pressure from Atalanta players and most of the attacks were made from counter-attacks. Although not always resulting in goals, in counter-attacks they always managed to make threatening shots. That effort managed to make Atalanta players more careful with their defense. Juventus' counter-attacks might have been more effective if they had better midfielders and strikers.

Only a draw for 2-2 yesterday evening between Inter and Bologna.
Without Chalhanoglu and Mkhitaryan Inter looks a different team.
Without the loughs of these 2 players their midfields looks a different thing.

Anyway they are still the favorite for winning the league, easly.

I think this match should not have been a draw because Inter Milan record is so strong that even strong teams are weak in front of them, but a weak team did not allow them to win the match which is a shame for their strength.  Inter Milan played very badly, they should have won this match. In any case, Inter Milan should not have played like this. This game of Inter may break the hope of many people.  Inter Milan will have to win all the next matches to ensure that they don't win the match due to pressure and underestimating the opposition team. Other players could have won this match by working hard, it is not necessary that this team be successful only with these two players. He will stay because his record is enough to win this title but not this match has started creating wrong meaning in the hearts of many people.

Bologna caused inter Milan not to get the same points with Napoli, people thought that inter Milan will use any opportunity that will come their way to secure 3 points from the game yesterday but Bologna didn't allowed such opportunity to come to inter Milan through out the game. Well, that is not the end of the tournament, because there are still more games ahead for inter Milan to win and return back to second position or first position because they are still looking strong to finish this tournament with good result.

Inter Milan players concluded that the game will end up 2:1 to beat Bologna, but Bologna player scored the second goal that made them to equalized the goals 2:2, I know that inter Milan will not allow their next game to end up draw again than to do everything possible to take 3 points from their next game.

[Jatiluhung]

This was a very frustrating result for both the management and supporters of Inter Milan who expected that they will win and close the gap between them and Napoli. The draw simply mean that even if Inter Milan wins their outstanding match, they will be at the same point with Napoli, although they have good goal difference that is better than that of Napoli.

Although, for the short term, Inter Milan will likely climb to the top of the league because it is not vertain that Napoli will be able to beat Atalanta who they are meeting next in a match that will likely end in a draw. If this happens, then Inter Milan will be set to assume the top because they will definitely win their next match as two consecutive draws is not something they will allow.

Indeed, Inter's draw was not in accordance with the expectations of Inter supporters and management and I personally was actually disappointed because I bet on Inter's victory but unfortunately Inter did not win for sure it seems that in this match many are favoring Inter over Bologna even though Bologna does have abilities that cannot be underestimated. but fortunately Inter did not lose either because if they had lost it would certainly be very embarrassing for Inter. it is true that if Inter had won this match it would certainly make Inter's points the will be close with Napoli and of course Inter would have strong potential to become a champion candidate again because Inter has only played 19 matches while Napoli has played 20 matches which of course there must be a big chance to win waiting for Inter.

but on the one hand Antonio must be very happy to see Inter fail to win because of course it makes Napoli's hopes alive to be able to win the Scudetto this season.
yes now we'll just see what happens later because surely no matter what when Napoli plays Atalanta later there will be results and this is really tense because both teams certainly have good strength and surely Inzaghi there wants Napoli to lose to Atalanta.

Their "effective" counterattack strategy has lost them 26 points to date, at which point I will start asking myself what is so effective in this.

Juventus is not a team meant to be defending the way they are, it’s very disappointing to see Juventus relying on counter attacks against top teams in the league. It better they play as a strong team that they are and not as underdog and if they lose they will know that they are not at their best and lose with dignity than defending against teams they are better than.

they better change their style of playing because this defensive style is not paying off in any way, they have just been playing draw the whole season even against teams they could have won on normal ground. Their draws is too much and it will not get them anywhere as they are currently sitting at fifth place and struggling to make the top four. They could have challenged easily this season but the coach chose a different approach and I also don’t think it’s an effective strategy at all.

It is very unfortunate that Inter failed to get 3 full points from Bologna even though I think this is a very important match for Inter because if Inter could get 3 points it would certainly make Inter's points the difference becomes small  with Napoli. But on one hand I also admire the quality of Bologna's game, they appeared very confident and Bologna was very great at being able to open the first goal in that match but fortunately Inter was able to reply to that goal and finally a fierce battle took place.

They led this match 2 - 1 but failed to secure it as a winning and let Bologna equalizing it. Bologna without Thiago Motta sometimes shown their quality like the past season and this match is one of such impressive matches from Bologna in this season. They are less competitive and stable than the last season, but beating Bologna is not too easy, even the opponent is very strong like Inter Milan.

But I think one day Inter will definitely have the potential to shift Napoli's position as long as Inzaghi can make Inter's performance even better and I hope that in the next match Inter can win when competing and of course Empoli will definitely be defeated by Inter in the upcoming match. In my opinion, Napoli currently needs to be vigilant because of course Inter, the champion last season, will try to shift Napoli's position and of course Inter wants to win the Scudetto again.

Inter Milan still have good chance to do that, but this draw affects their points, rather than leading Napoli 2 points if they have same total matches, now the best situation is Inter Milan have same total points like Napoli and only lead that competitor in goal difference.

Inter Milan will have to share their player resource from Serie A to Champions League, and in later months of season, it can be one of their weakness for underdog like Napoli or Atalanta to exploit and win Scudetto.

The thing that is driving me crazy and making me perplexed is this attitude of the current Milan to come back. I don't understand the reason to go and lose momentarily and then come back, there is some psychological problem in the team or its just a case of the last few games, however this thing makes me perplexed.
I want will see in the next games.

But what we have to see now is the positive trend that AC Milan really has at the moment. You can see that AC Milan has never lost again after they had a new coach, namely Sérgio Conceição. We can say that this club suits Sérgio Conceição very well. because their new coach was able to immediately adapt to the existing situation and quickly correct some of the weaknesses this team had.

And yes, I am also looking forward to the results of AC Milan's next matches with their new coach. Among them are the next two matches which I think will be quite tough for AC Milan. Because in Serie A next week AC Milan has to face Juventus and then in the Champions League AC Milan has to face Girona. We may have seen AC Milan play well because of its new coach Sérgio Conceição, but that's only in the domestic league. Now I'm curious how the club's new coach will face the Champions League.

they will certainly be very interesting matches for Milan and for all football lovers
Milan will be able to understand the direction to take
note how Juventus lost points against Milan, for them losing that match would be devastating. of course is my opinion, what do you think about it?

The team adapted very quickly to what Sergio Conceicao wanted. When we watch Milan's matches, we see a team that enjoys playing football a lot. They believe that they can turn the game around even when they are behind, and they did it in some matches. This is one of the best behaviors you can ask for from a team.

Sergio Conceicao easily adapted to the situation Milan are in and is trying to do what is necessary. I think he has been successful and will continue to do so. Juventus draws too many times and cannot get 3 points despite playing well. I think this match will be a very good match and I think it will be a very goal-rich match.

[pusaka]

Napoli are more advantaged after Inter Milan and Atalanta drew but will put a little more pressure on the next match because Napoli will face Atalanta. This match will make a difference if one of them loses or draws because Inter Milan will have the advantage when facing Empoli.

Napoli have an advantage but not too much and in general Scudetto competition is still very hot and tight among three clubs, Napoli, Inter Milan and Atalanta with possible big advantage in long run belongs to Inter Milan.

Yes, Napoli should be grateful because Inter Milan only drew, but they are not completely safe, because they only have a 3-point advantage over Inter Milan. Their next match will also be a difficult match, because Atalanta is also in good shape, apart from the draws they have achieved in a row, but overall they are playing well, it can also be seen from the position of the standings they currently occupy. Atalanta will really be a problem for Napoli, Napoli must be ready in the upcoming match.

they will certainly be very interesting matches for Milan and for all football lovers

Facing Juventus, it is difficult to predict, because after all these two teams are teams that cannot be underestimated. Juventus has not been defeated, but their problem is that it is difficult to get a win. AC Milan has indeed experienced 4 defeats, but they have also won more than Juventus. If I were to give a percentage of the chances of winning for them, then I think 50% for each team is a reasonable chance. But of course there will be different opinions, and if you look at the bookies, the bookies give a bigger chance for Juventus.

[Uruhara]

Inzaghi had to increase the risk because it was necessary not to lose points in such matches for the championship. However, at this point, they still lost points. Inter lost two very critical points. I think it would be very difficult to make up for such matches. Of course, Napoli was the happiest in the Italian league this week. Atalanta, who lost points to Juventus, and Inter, who drew in the match they played yesterday, made Napoli happy.

Simone Inzaghi has certainly tried to do his best. It's just that mistakes in making strategies are sometimes unavoidable. Like some inappropriate substitutions sometimes lead a team to bad results. Basically, in this match, Inter Milan faced a fairly strong team. because Bologna is not a weak team. This team even managed to win tickets to the UCL last season. But Bologna's condition this season is not like that. So, Inter Milan should be able to win this match. But in reality, Inter Milan failed and could only share points with Bologna. Although this is not a bad result. But this draw did mean that Inter Milan wasted the opportunity to reduce the points difference with Napoli. Now Napoli are really happy with the results of the Inter Milan vs Bologna match.

Inzaghi must refocus and make a more mature plan for the Scudetto, indeed the draw against Bologna was very disappointing and that has happened. I still believe in the Nerazzurri squad and I see them as still quite solid. However, Inzaghi must also be aware that other teams are also improving their squads in the current transfer window so he must really focus on the goal and try as much as possible to minimize the loss of points again.

[stompix]

So, after debating with 100 users how Inter is not catching up to Napoli because each team has won their last 5 games, and the argument for the "catching" was that Inter had two fewer games played, how did that work out?  

Since we're on a Bitcoin forum, have you ever heard about "unrealized gains" ?  

But what we have to see now is the positive trend that AC Milan really has at the moment. You can see that AC Milan has never lost again after they had a new coach, namely Sérgio Conceição. We can say that this club suits Sérgio Conceição very well. because their new coach was able to immediately adapt to the existing situation and quickly correct some of the weaknesses this team had.

And? Milan has also never lost a game in November and only lost one game to Atalanta in December, they also drew with Juventus and beat Real Madrid with the last team, two good matches, and a complete failure with Cagliari, common, Cagliari, the second last team is hardly enough evidence a complete shift is happening.

So far I still see them doing well, in Serie A they are in second place and in the Champions League they are also in the top 8 which can take them to the round of 16 directly. But that doesn't mean they are free from mistakes, they can actually reduce the intensity of the mistakes they make. This is important before bigger things happen. But with what I see, they can still maintain this, and I think they can still be even better, especially if they can bring in new players to add to their strength.

It is very unfortunate that Inter failed to get 3 full points from Bologna even though I think this is a very important match for Inter because if Inter could get 3 points it would certainly make Inter's points the difference becomes small  with Napoli. But on one hand I also admire the quality of Bologna's game, they appeared very confident and Bologna was very great at being able to open the first goal in that match but fortunately Inter was able to reply to that goal and finally a fierce battle took place. But I think one day Inter will definitely have the potential to shift Napoli's position as long as Inzaghi can make Inter's performance even better and I hope that in the next match Inter can win when competing and of course Empoli will definitely be defeated by Inter in the upcoming match. In my opinion, Napoli currently needs to be vigilant because of course Inter, the champion last season, will try to shift Napoli's position and of course Inter wants to win the Scudetto again.

These weeks we have seen more draws. Likewise with the match between Inter Milan and Bologna, which I initially thought would be won by Inter Milan, because they were able to take the lead early in the first half with a score of 2-1. But unfortunately in the second half Inter Milan were unable to do anything, apart from holding back attacks from Bologna, and making several attacks that did not produce any results at all. In the end Bologna were able to equalize right in the 64th minute, and the score ended in a draw.

Only getting one additional point from this match, made Inter unable to seize the top position. However, on the other hand Inter's position is still quite advantageous because they have one more match compared to Napoli.

[SatoPrincess]

Milan played well today by winning the match with a score of 1-2 against Como at first I always wondered who would win the match but now I have finally found the answer of course from this match I can conclude that Milan is still a strong team and of course in today's match Milan really put pressure on Como but Como of course in this match really put out their best performance but of course here we see of course Como is not yet able to face Sergio's care.
but fortunately I bet with my friend who favors Milan to win. I think there is still time for Conceicao to make Milan even better and of course in the upcoming match it will be very interesting because Juventus will be Milan's opponent and of course Conceicao will be tested here.

Juventus in their last match were able to draw against Atalanta in my opinion this will be an encouragement for Juventus and of course for Milan they will definitely try their best to win I think Conceicao needs to apply defensive techniques if for example they are already ahead in terms of score because of course Juventus has a good attack.

Certainly Milan is a strong team to play against in the Seria A despite not being consistent this season and drawing seven and losing four in nineteen games, their next opponent on the other hand have also not being consistent this season so it will be a test of consistency level when both teams go head to head. Ac Milan will be looking to close the cap from Juventus and move up to 5th or 6th position. Conceicao has the experience to improve AC Milan even if it will require a bit of patience and time.

Inter drew 2-2 with Bologna tonight, both teams played well but no winners.
This was a bad result for Inter, they have 1 match less and 3 points between them and Napoli.
Let's see who will be the champion this year.

This was a very frustrating result for both the management and supporters of Inter Milan who expected that they will win and close the gap between them and Napoli. The draw simply mean that even if Inter Milan wins their outstanding match, they will be at the same point with Napoli, although they have good goal difference that is better than that of Napoli.

Although, for the short term, Inter Milan will likely climb to the top of the league because it is not vertain that Napoli will be able to beat Atalanta who they are meeting next in a match that will likely end in a draw. If this happens, then Inter Milan will be set to assume the top because they will definitely win their next match as two consecutive draws is not something they will allow.

I was surprised at the result and at same I was not surprised, the reason why I was surprised was that Inter Milan is one of the best and strong team or club in Seria A so drawing against Bologna was not encouraging considering the fact that they need 5 -6 points to top the table and the reason why I was not surprised was because I know even though Inter Milan is in good form anything can be possible in football and I think I said this earlier before the match kick off though Bologna on the other hand is also doing well in their league and outside the league.

Well, just like I said earlier anything is possible it will shock you when you will see Napoli winning Atlanta because even Atlanta currently appears to me, that they have reduced form which is going to affect them against Napoli and as it appears also Napoli is really doing well and as leading team or club in the Seria A it will be very difficult for Atlanta to bit them and I think the least they can play is draw which will not really favor Napoli because what they need right now is back to back win to maintain their position.

[Velvet78]

There was some momentum loss by Inter in the second half so that's why Bologna made use of it and stole one point by 2-2. This happens in football but honestly Inter lost a little advantage over Napoli in the standings. They still have a game missing though but now if they win it, the points will be equal. They would be ahead of Napoli anyway because of goal difference. Napoli really can't score many.    Only 32 goals against 48 by Inter.

Who is your favourite for the Serie A title?    Honestly I'm going for Inter even though Napoli are the leader. Because they look more convincing with their offense and I can't say they are bad in defense either. Napoli could start having issues with this productivity rate at some point maybe.

[Uruhara]

Simone Inzaghi has certainly tried to do his best. It's just that mistakes in making strategies are sometimes unavoidable. Like some inappropriate substitutions sometimes lead a team to bad results. Basically, in this match, Inter Milan faced a fairly strong team. because Bologna is not a weak team. This team even managed to win tickets to the UCL last season. But Bologna's condition this season is not like that. So, Inter Milan should be able to win this match. But in reality, Inter Milan failed and could only share points with Bologna. Although this is not a bad result. But this draw did mean that Inter Milan wasted the opportunity to reduce the points difference with Napoli. Now Napoli are really happy with the results of the Inter Milan vs Bologna match.

So far I still see them doing well, in Serie A they are in second place and in the Champions League they are also in the top 8 which can take them to the round of 16 directly. But that doesn't mean they are free from mistakes, they can actually reduce the intensity of the mistakes they make. This is important before bigger things happen. But with what I see, they can still maintain this, and I think they can still be even better, especially if they can bring in new players to add to their strength.

Overall, I am still very optimistic about Inter Milan's condition this season. And just like in previous seasons, Inter Milan under Inzaghi's coaching is usually always able to produce quite maximum results. This team is actually built on mediocre squad depth. Well, I still think the depth of the Inter Milan squad is not as impressive as the squad depth of the big clubs from the Premier League or Laliga. but in reality Inter Milan has always managed to be a team that is equal and sometimes even superior to other clubs that have better squad depth.

Whether in Serie A or in the Champions League, I still have high hopes for Inter Milan. And Simone Inzaghi can definitely maintain Inter Milan's quality as usual. And the characteristic of Simone Inzaghi is that he is always able to bring out the maximum potential of every player who comes to this club.

[hahay]

Credit to Bologna who played away, but managed to have good dominance in the second half, and made Inter unable to do their best even though they played at home. Because after all, Bologna managed to score first in the 15th minute, making Inter increase their efforts only to turn it around in the first half. Because entering the second half, even though Bologna scored in the 64th minute and clearly there was still a lot of time until the match ended, but Inter couldn't do anything to score another goal in the second half, it was quite embarrassing I guess.

But even though Inter only got a draw, and are still in second place at this time, Inter still have a chance to return to the top of the standings. Because Inter is also a more productive team than Napoli, if they have  the same points then Inter will be at the top because they currently have a three-point gap, and Inter also still have one postponed match.
