Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Marvell1]

Sometimes I wonder about Juventus, this club often draws when facing average and weak clubs but they were able to win the match against Milan last night with a score of 2:0 Juventus should also try to optimize their performance like this when facing clubs that are weaker than them to get full points because they are already 13 points behind the top of the standings. So far Juventus has not experienced defeat but if they get too many draws it is the same as losing half the points from the number of matches they have played because Juventus has only won 8 of 21 matches.

That is what is surprising about the Juventus team this season because Juventus' performance so far has been less than satisfactory because there have been many draws they have experienced during this season. Of the 21 matches that Juventus have played, 13 of them ended in a draw and the rest only won without any defeats, but it is the same if the draws could be more than wins it would not help Juventus to be in a better position. Now Juventus must know that they need to improve their potential and ability in playing in every match so that the results of their wins can be more than draws.

I am not surprised by Juventus' performance. We saw similar performance from Juventus last season. This season, Juventus management should have strengthened their attack. But they did not do it. As a result, we do not see any improvement in Juventus' overall performance. Juventus' defense is very strong, but Juventus' attack is weak.

Juventus team drew 14 matches last season. And this season, they have drawn 13 matches out of 21 matches. I would say Juventus' performance is weak. It may be possible for this team to stay in the top four of the table, but it is impossible for Juventus to dominate Serie A. Juventus management may not even have a target of winning the Serie A title.

I can't say Napoli are deserving of their win, if anything it's just luck because they really didn't play anything that would be seen as interesting. Right from the beginning of the game till the end, Atalanta kept poaching at their defense and any little error they make is what Napoli capitalizes on and scores.
 Although they still maintain their position on top, it still doesn't mean that they can be able to withstand pressure from the other competitors. I feel that Napoli can do better and if it's their desire to win the serie A cause you can't perform like you did now and not get pushed aside by a more serious team. Imagine if Atalanta had equalized because truly they deserved to get another goal. Well it's over and Napoli carted all three points away from home.

How they approached the game does not really matter, the most important thing is the get the job done and tonight Napoli did just that. They picked all 3 points and also took revenge on Atalanta for beating at their home. Atalanta has slumped in form, they've won 1, drew 2 and lost 2 matches, picking just 5 pts out of 15 pts in their last 5 games. I was tipping them to win the serie a but with their recent results I don't think they can mount any challenge. The only strong contender Napoli has is Inter Milan.

Well you're right because at the end of the day it's Napoli that has 50 points and sits at the number one position irrespective of how average they played yesterday. All I'm saying is they need to up their performance game if they want to maintain their spot cause I don't think it will be easy for them being that we've gotten to the point were every game is a must win for teams and those teams that are below on the table will try to frustrate them but if a club like Napoli can add more confidence to the way they play, I feel they will be more feared by other teams in the league.

Juventus are unbeaten in 21 Serie A games this season, with more draws than wins. Although they are still the only unbeaten team in Serie A, the results have not met expectations due to too many points lost. They have just managed to end a series of draws after winning against Milan, consistency is needed to continue to get maximum points to secure a place in the top four.

So, where are all those guys that were claiming a day ago how Conceicao had brought new air to Milan and the team is doing great and so on?

Milan probably played the worst match in the last months, the second half was just like watching amateurs who have never played before trying to remember whose t-shit is theirs and who's the adversary. Emerson, Fofana and Leao you could have thought these guys were on the bench if not for the mistakes they made.

It wasn't as much of a Juve win as Milan playing like Monza.

In fact, Juventus was the obvious favorite in this game because Milan is really bad.

In this forum hype from a change is worse than meme coins.
One team wins a game by the thread of a needle and the next time everyone is shocked about their actual form, Milan played as usual and this is their level if the adversary is not a mediocre team.

...

Instead, I'm thinking of a betting option that I really make use of recently. I'm going for over 2.5 goals & BTTS @2.41 here.

Anyways, at least I predicted this game correctly. What a lovely odds right?    Napoli won by 3-2 and once again they beat Atalanta away. I wasn't wrong with my bad feeling about Atalanta in this game.

I also got lucky with my hunch in that match. Those two teams are good in Serie A. I almost bet on Atalanta, but the previous three draws made me bet on Napoli, and luck was with me. I would probably be more hesitant to bet on Napoli if Atalanta's previous form was as good as Napoli's.
The odds were good, so I decided to place a single bet.

It's good that they won Milan yesterday on clean sheet. At least, it will motivate them to win their next match. Since Conceicao took over as Milan coach, yesterday was his first defeat. The surprising thing was that it was Juventus that won them, a club that hasn't won any match for quite sometimes. I was waiting to see the magic that Milan will perform in order for them not to lose the match but they couldn't.

In other seasons, when there was a competition between Juventus and AC Milan, I always put AC Milan ahead. However, this season AC Milan is performing poorly, on the contrary, Juventus is performing better than AC Milan, so I thought that Juventus could win this match. Juventus earned full points in this match and while they won against AC Milan, they did not concede any goals. AC Milan's performance is getting worse and worse for me as time goes on. If AC Milan's performance continues like this then it will be seen at some point AC Milan has moved further down the points table and this is not a good thing to see. AC Milan did well in the Italian league last season because of which they are playing in the Champions League this season but with their performance in the local league this season I think they won't be playing in the Champions League next season.

Finally Juventus was able to win again after defeating AC Milan with a score of 2-0. Honestly, before this match started, I was quite pessimistic about them being able to win this match considering their record of continuously getting draws.
In the first half there were no goals scored, that made me even more confident that this match would end in a draw. However, in the second half Juventus was able to open up opportunities and could be used as goals. On the other hand, AC Milan could not do anything, they had to go home in disappointment.

Though Juventus have dropped too many points from drawing many of their league games this season, I still do not think there's anyone who would expect them to lose at home against an AC Milan side that's been very inconsistent this season. Thiago Motta in obviously done a good job in improving Juventus from their poor form of last season and against AC Milan, I expected them to end their winless run. Juventus fans would definitely be happy with that result and for the club players, it'll help improve their confidence going forward. With that win, Juventus have now moved into the top four of the league standings, a position I expect them to maintain or finish better at the end of the season

So far they got more problems with smaller teams.
When they faced bigger teams that they don't close the door in the defense they played a better football and deserved a lot of points.
the main problem so far is when they face smaller team and they need to find the intuition to pass the fence.

Football is a game of chance and Juventus only took their chances against Milan and that was why they beat Milan. I think both teams are seemingly inconsistent at the moment, they win and also loose when you least expect them to, Juventus has a record on the number of drawn games whereas Milan have some incredible results but also have lost some games they ought to win which keeps both team at a seemingly unstable state and often very difficult to predict when they play respectively. Juventus proved to be very ambitious than Milan in this game and that's the determining factor of this particular game.

Inter vs Empoli (Inter over 2.5)
Fiorentina vs Torino (Fiorentina -0.75)
Parma Calcio vs Venezia (Parma win)

Honestly, from the 3 matches, I have a little doubt about the Fiorentina match that will face Torino.
Currently, Fiorentina is very superior in terms of defense but I only doubt Fiorentina's attack line whether they are able to score 2 or 3 goals?
What do you think? Is Fiorentina confident enough to score more than 2 goals?

The doubts you have seem to really come true. Fiorentina was really unable to score more than 1 goal in the match against Torino. And in fact I think Fiorentina was really disappointing in that match. because Fiorentina only faced Torino who had lost 1 player. Torino in this match had already lost 1 of their players due to a red card since the 33rd minute, namely Ali Dembele. But it is a shame that Fiorentina did not manage to make good use of this situation. And was only able to score 1 goal which Torino even managed to reply to in the second half. So in the end the match ended in a draw. As hosts in this match, Fiorentina is actually the favorite. 11 players against 10 players should be a good moment for Fiorentina to win this match. Unfortunately that didn't happen.

The Parma vs Venice match also ended in a draw. And for this one, I personally expected this result. Because these two teams are both at almost the same level this season. So I thought it would be very difficult to determine the favorite team for this match. But for the Inter Milan vs Empoli match, I think there is no doubt that Inter Milan will win in a good way in this match. A minimum of 2 goals may be scored in this match.

Juventus beating Milan was not what I expected, I mean Juventus has great defense, so Milan not scoring isn't really shocking, if I was asked, I would say Milan would have either zero goals or if they are lucky then just one goal.

The real shocking result is Juventus being able to score two goals here, that's great, and they got a good win for themselves. This puts them at fourth place finally, they weren't doing that great all season long, they had 3 ties in the last 5 games, along with two wins now, so it looked like they were just gunning for "most draws in a season" as a joke, but they did alright here with a win. Lazio could still take over, but it's great for Juventus to see themselves doing better, beating Milan is a great deal.

In fact, Juventus was the obvious favorite in this game because Milan is really bad. Even if you don't take into account the result of this game, Milan has 4 losses (Juventus has zero) and a goal difference that is twice as bad. Plus, it was a home game for Juventus. Given Juventus' strange peacefulness, I didn't place a bet here, but I assumed there could be 3 possible results: 1-0, 0-0 or 1-1, so it's safe to say that Juventus performed above expectations.

In my opinion after Milan beat Juventus in the Italian Super Cup they got a breath of fresh air or something good in winning this match, and if you look at the last 5 matches both Milan teams are quite good and Juventus is not too good the results achieved by Juventus are mostly draws but in the previous match Juventus really played well they had 15 shots and in my opinion this will be Juventus' victory with a score of 2-0 but unfortunately the opportunities that existed after that could not be maximized properly, this victory is also the first victory for Juventus this year, after getting a lot of pressure and also without a win in several previous matches but this time Motta really gave his direction well so that there were no mistakes that could be utilized by Milan to score goals, with this victory Juventus is also closely following Atalanta who are above them in the current standings and I hope this old lady can be consistent in achieving good goals in Serie A this season.

Don't you like what is happening in Serie A now? That is what I call good competition, it means the power is changing hands and I love it. It gets boring when the likes of Juventus and Inter always lift the trophy, so let the table change again. That can only happen when the feat changes, especially through the undermining of other teams. Some clubs only win because of the weaker nature of the team they face and not because they are so strong. You will now see their weakness if the weaker team becomes measurably strong as we see today.

Lazio have already scored the second goal. Boulaye Dia scored on the counter-attack. Dia also scored against Como last week, he's in great form at the moment. Lazio seem to have finished the job in 20 minutes, it will be very difficult for Hellas Verona to turn the game around.
If the game ends like this, Lazio will overtake Juventus and move back into fourth place. To qualify for the Champions League you need to finish in the top 4 of the league. This is Lazio's biggest goal right now. Milan and Roma are far behind. Juventus are their biggest opponent.

Of course, these matches are called big matches in the Italian League. The winner of these matches is unpredictable. Although Milan seemed like the team in good shape before the match, Juventus managed to win the match by two goals. This brought them to the top of the rankings. Milan, on the other hand, could not recover after winning the cup. The cup they won by beating Inter very well seems to have brought them bad luck. Now the teams are competing for the top positions in the league. For Juventus, going to the Champions League is a matter of great prestige. Moreover, Juventus is the only unbeaten team in the league. This shows everyone how tough an opponent they are.

Juventus has a better attack than Milan despite all their draws, they still have 34 scored while Milan has one of the worse attacks in the first half of Seria A, with just 29, taking into account that even Verona which is 18th has 24 goals for, kind of show how bad Milan has been playing lately.
Crappy attack, mediocre defense, a team play that works only on specific games with certain adversaries caught off-guard, inconsistency is their name and I have said this for months, a team that would end as a money pit if you gamble on them, unexpectedly playing great against top names and then drawing out of nowhere with teams that will say bye bye to Seria A this year.

Of course, these matches are called big matches in the Italian League. The winner of these matches is unpredictable.

Unpredictable? How come?
The markets got this perfectly right, these are the aggregate odds right before the start of the match:

[hahay]

Although in the last few matches that Lazio has experienced instability, but I personally still believe that Lazio will succeed in winning this away match. Because after all, Verona is still in a bad trend so far this season, so I am not sure Verona can provide strong resistance to Lazio in this match. The difference in their trends is very clear, and victory on paper for Lazio can really come true, and the proof is that Lazio also managed to score a quick goal in the second minute. Thus, it will make it more difficult for Verona to score a goal, because Lazio also seems not going to lower the intensity of its attacks which still allows Lazio to get another goal in the second half.

Juventus actually started the match cautiously even though they looked more dominating in the first half but in fact Milan have more  chances shot towards goal than them, the game from Juventus was even more interesting when the second half started although Milan also tried to keep pressing, where they actually dared to play more attacking by creating some dangerous chances,  juventus managed to create two goals until the end of the match and at the same time broke the trend of 4 matches without a win.

Although Milan lost the match, we can actually see a better improvement in their game, but it is undeniable that it is not enough to destroy Juventus solid defense in that match, the victory over Milan, I think it should be a better capital and encouragement for Juventus face the next match by continoe to reach victory in their match.

You made a good guess and Lazio scored another goal in the second half. The match is currently continuing with Lazio's lead with three goals. Zaccagni is the player who scored Lazio's third goal. Lazio is a team aiming for the Champions League in the Italian League. With their current ranking, they can go to the Champions League. Also, Verona is in the relegation zone in the league. They should not have suffered this defeat in this match. However, they will probably lose this match. Lazio will have earned three more points for the Champions League.

Napoli basically just made sure that Atalanta doesn't win the league this season. Obviously there are so many games left, so anything could happen still, but I do not think that there will be such a drastic change that Napoli and Inter both starts to lose games or get many draws while Atalanta keeps winning, that's unlikely.

Obviously Inter could still catch up to Napoli, that chance is there, but Napoli at least looks great, while they played more games, they have enough points gap too, so that means Inter has no chance but to win those games, not even a draw would be okay. Winning this game was a huge huge step for Napoli for their league title hopes, and they did exactly what they needed, this was definitely amazing for them.
