Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[ShowOff]

-

One of the reasons why they are so strong and consistent this season is because Napoli do not have a very busy schedule, so their focus is not divided. Unlike other teams, who play in the Champions League, UEFA Europa League, and Europa Conference League, some teams have really lost their consistency, such as Lazio, Milan, Roma, and some others.

And regarding the match between Napoli who will face Juventus at the Diego Armando Maradona stadium, of course this is a fairly important match for both teams, and I also think that this match will end in a draw. Although if the calculations on paper, Napoli are quite favored, especially since they will play as the host.

The club income dropped drastically when they were absent from European competition, but the situation could benefit Napoli domestically. With more time to prepare the team, and facing fewer challenges, Napoli should be able to win the Scudetto this season. Teams that participate in European competition certainly face more pressure, so it is quite difficult to stabilize their performance in all competitions participated in.

Indeed, Napoli is more worthy of being the favorite when facing Juventus, besides acting as the host, Conte squad has more advantages. Napoli front line is more productive than Juventus, besides they also have a solid defense. Statistically, Napoli has a better record, even though Juventus has never been defeated this season.

Juventus' defensive line is really solid, but at the same time, Napoli also has a good front line, and they are on a winning streak. This kind of game is always hard to predict what will actually happen. However, based on my observations, I would say Napoli may have a slight chance of winning this match. But let's see what happens because, the way Napoli is now, they don't want to miss any opportunities. If they do, Inter Milan might take their position, and Napoli certainly wouldn't want that to happen. I know they will try their very best to win the game, but let's wait until Sunday and see the result in the end.

Napoli are more inform and leading the league which they won't want to let go of the lead due to losing games as this one. They have to win Juventus and it isn't an impossible task to do as they have down it previously and have a higher advantage than Juventus. It's going to be a fight between which club has the better defence and I think Napoli is going to come out on top. Juventus has good goal difference but most of this is due to the many goalless draws that Juventus has being having the season. They have played 21 games and out of those games, 13 of them has being draws. Juventus are going to find it difficult to win or draw Napoli when they face eachother.

Predicting the Napoli vs Juventus game this weekend I think will be a very difficult one for football fans and that's because when you look at the statistics of both clubs this season, you'll be very confused on which option to with. Napoli this season in the Italian Serie A have been more consistent and impressive with their results than any other Italian club while Juventus on the other hand currently occupy the 5th position of the league table but have never lost a league game this season.
Will Napoli be able to end Juventus unbeaten run this season? Will Juventus end Napoli's winning streak? I think these are two important questions than can only be answered at the final whistle. I'll go with the option of the game to produce 2+ goals or the BTTS option goals because I expect the teams involved to find the back of the net.

Although if the calculations on paper, Napoli are quite favored, especially since they will play as the host.

I have the same temporary prediction as you said. Napoli may indeed be favored in the upcoming match. Because they are playing at home and do not have a schedule that can be like what you said. So Napoli gets 2 advantages but believe me if Juventus has a stronger defensive strategy. Juventus' defenders are always reliable and can always hold a draw when playing away or away. That is the strategy that Juventus has who choose to end in a draw rather than lose points.

[TelolettOm]

Atalanta is getting worse and worse, at least in the last 4 matches, they can only lose and draw.

They have now failed to win a match in their last four league games which is very poor from a team that we all thought are title contenders. They must improve as soon as possible if they even want to make the champions league spot because they are now 3rd place and if not careful they Lazio and Juventus will meet up to them.

Tomorrow in the next match, Atalanta will play against COMO. Actually, COMO is not a top club, but this club can sometimes be troublesome. especially with the previous victory achieved by COMO. However, if Atalanta can be at their best, they can win. especially since one of Como's main defenders also received a red card. Atalanta must be able to win in that match, otherwise, their position will be increasingly threatened.

In fact, in the UEFA Champions League, Atalanta's consistency is quite high and even in the last match in UCL, they managed to slaughter their opponent, SK Sturm Graz, with a score of 5 - 0. So they were able to secure 7th position.

[tiCeR]

That not withstanding, I believe also that you might have noticed that Juventus have been able to handle the big teams more effectively this season despite not having much wins in the league which shows how proactively they have been despite not having a great campaign this season. Juventus have probably lost to only one of the big side Milan, a game which wasn't in the league but a Cup match. And having draws doesn't make them worse although it doesn't reflect their standard. I think this stats would be an added advantage for them when they face Napoli this weekend.

It will be considered insufficient because if they can only win a few times and more draws then everything will not develop for Juventus let alone try to think about the trophy race because in the end the points earned are not optimal even though they still have not lost any points or lost 1 match in Serie A.

Although it seems imposing but actually it is a demand because after all fans must expect Juventus with new leadership after the era of Allegri and internal problems are over then they definitely expect maximum results in the new season. So that great expectations have been embedded from the start especially since Motta provided a good leadership style at the previous club.
Juventus' performance is not too bad but it's just that they can't maximize their performance so that in the end they can't be optimal in collecting points and that Motta still has to fix now so that the points that are lost because of the draws they always get can be minimized.

It's too late for Juventus anyway when it's about winning the Scudetto. 13 points behind Napoli would require some supernatural event to allow for Juventus to catch up. They won't win all the games and yet Napoli would have to lose tons of games and then all other teams ahead of Juventus would also have to lose their games. No, I think this is over. The players and the coach are not allowed to say it's over, but people watching from outside know that there is no chance left for them to make up for what they have done wrong until now. 13 draws is like double the number of draws on average for all the teams from the bottom half of the gable. I think that is enough information to conclude that the season is over when they had the goal to win the title, which they certainly did.

Life always has surprise and it means Juventus can fight and hope that chance will come to them. Juventus must do their works well first, and wait for opportunities from above clubs, Napoli, Inter Milan and Atalanta. Only 2 bad matches of above clubs can shed light of hope for Juventus in Scudetto competition. Then they can participate in this competition, but as said the mandatory condition is Juventus must maximize their earned points in coming matches. Chance won't come to them, if they can not do their jobs well first.

We saw nearly free falls of Manchester City in Premier League, Barcelona in La Liga, and that means Juventus can wait for similar free falls of above clubs. If Juventus can join the Scudetto competition, it will be very interesting.

Competing for the Scudetto title is no longer possible for Juventus because they are currently behind in terms of the race. There are many clubs that they might have to pass in terms of points so in Juventus' condition it will be very difficult. Juventus can target the top five by the end of the season because that is much more feasible for them to achieve than the Scudetto. Juventus have drawn so many games this season that it has made it increasingly difficult for Juventus to catch up on points so their chances are very slim. The title race is certainly over for Juventus because so far they have not found their best form and I think chasing a position in the Champions League is their choice.

At least they have to be in the top 4 and can be in the Champions League for the next season. Becoming a champion is not impossible, but it takes a lot of luck to achieve it. Juventus must be able to recover quickly and get back to winning after winning to achieve what they want. Their chances of being in the top 4 are still very big, so they have to fight for it. This is a very crucial time for them to get points after points, don't let them miss it, the point is they have to get more positive results in the matches they play.

What's actually happening to Juventus? They no longer fit into the category of winning games, they just have tougher atmosphere. Winning the scudetto does come with planned formation and not some random strategies. It will take Juventus couple of years to bounce back to elite form because there's presence of other tough rivals. Juventus coach, Thiago Motta is competent for his role and there's no way he's holding back, he will keep the pressure on until he reaches full potentials. The Old lady's are 5th position and this is credible stats for them to keep fighting. Juventus will make signings of prominent players this season, I'm confident about this phase.

Winning Scudetto shouldn't be their focus because it's impossible. Rather, let them focus on improving their performance so that they can finish on top four to enable them qualify for UCL next season. However, if they fail to be on top four, due to unnecessary draws, they will end up in Europa League. Motta shouldn't let this happen.

What happened to juventus this season does look strange but also very tragic in my opinion, they became the only not yet unbeaten team this season but it did precisely not support them as one of the scudetto contenders this season , unbeaten with consecutive draws has actually made them currently slumped and even only able to fight to secure a place in the top 4 zone, in terms of the scudetto it's clearly impossible for them to get and  even to be able to end the season in the top 4 zone might also be difficult for them, because of the tight competition that exists at this time from other teams, but even so, I think motta has so far built juventus quite well in his first season of coaching.

The squad isn't strong enough in every way to get wins continually. They are only good at defending. This keeps them unbeaten in the league even after 21 weeks. But they just can't win much often. 

I see a serious potential in Motta anyway honestly. He is still doing his best with what he has in his hands. But I'm quite sure he is also looking forward to making some necessary signings soon.

I'm only worried about their top 4 chance this season. Because they just draw a lot of times and Lazio might turn it into their advantage if things go on like this.

to achieve the Scudetto will certainly be difficult for Juventus this season because there are indeed many clubs that they have to pass but of course it is not impossible for Juventus to be able to achieve the Scudetto because sometimes a team's performance can change but it feels like Inter and Napoli are still fine in their best performance and it is true that the difference in points with Juventus is certainly too far so I agree with you that Juventus will definitely find it difficult to achieve the Scudetto this season because of course the one who deserves to win the Scudetto right now is Napoli or Inter.

it is true that with Juventus' less open game which always ends in a draw it feels like there is no hope for Juventus to win the Scudetto but if it is to get a ticket to the UCL it does make sense. but actually for next season I think there is a chance for Juventus to be better than this season as long as Juventus' game must be more free and open. but sometimes I am also curious about the team that will be able to beat Juventus one day which can make Juventus fail to achieve an unbeaten record and of course there is a chance in the upcoming match Napoli will be the first to beat Juventus.

However, if they fail to be on top four, due to unnecessary draws, they will end up in Europa League. Motta shouldn't let this happen.

Maybe that is the most realistic target at the moment for Juventus. The difference of 13 points with Napoli who are at the top of the standings at the moment will really be difficult for Juventus to catch up, whose performance is still uncertain. Unless Juventus continues to win the remaining matches and hopes that Napoli and Inter Milan and the other teams in the top 4 experience defeat or lose points. But hopes like that are a little difficult to realize.

Thiago Motta may still have quite high hopes. But yes, the most likely target that Juventus can pursue is to get into the top 4 in order to get a UCL ticket. And Juventus' main focus right now is probably just getting maximum results in the Champions League they are currently participating in.

[beerlover]

In Serie A I'm still a fan of Juventus because I think Juventus always has much better and smarter defensive power than other teams even though they were better than Inter Milan and AC Milan but even Motta couldn't solve all the problems in Juventus and they are not in the good form at all at least they can't race with Napoli and Inter Milan in the top of the Serie A table.

Atalanta started the season well but time after time they got bad results and now I don't have any hope for Atalanta. While Napoli has a coach like Conte who knows Serie A very well and so far he has the key for Napoli. Maybe now Juventus will regret not hiring Conte instead of Motta.

While they do look decent, because lets face it they literally have zero losses in 21 games, which is a great deal. We also have to realize that they are not amazing neither, only getting 17 goals conceded in 21 games is a huge achievement, and yet we are looking at the situation of how many draws they got and we can say that they are not doing all that well neither.

I can understand why people are looking at Juventus and have doubts, don't get me wrong I understand your point of view as well and how they are looking great but at the same time I can see the current situation as well and why people would not be hopeful about Juventus getting a win in this game. The best Juventus can hope for this season is a top four finish, that's it, even third place would be unlikely.

However, if they fail to be on top four, due to unnecessary draws, they will end up in Europa League. Motta shouldn't let this happen.

With a very large points difference from the first rank, of course Juventus must be realistic, they must focus on the top four because competing for the Scudetto feels very impossible. Although Juventus is currently undefeated in Serie A, with so many draws it will not change anything in the standings because each match only gets one point. Moreover, in the next match Juventus will face Napoli who we know are currently on fire, especially their productive front line. According to my prediction, this will be Juventus' first defeat in Serie A, if Napoli manages to beat Juventus at the Maradona Stadium.

Even Juventus in the last match against Club Brugge in the UCL league also got a draw. Motta never learns from his mistakes, he always looks at the opponent first and plays a makeshift squad, when his turn comes until the 70th minute the squad is speechless, he starts to get confused, he immediately plays the main squad, and the main squad is also speechless because there are only 20 minutes left, finally a draw. What is the coach's target? Is Motta aiming for the title of coach who gets a draw throughout history?

[Gallar]

In their last 5 matches, Atalanta had bad results, because Atalanta was only able to win 1 match, draw 3 times and lose 1 time. The reason is, currently Atalanta's position has dropped to 3rd place in the Serie A standings and has quite a big difference in points with Napoli who are currently at the top of the standings. I don't know what caused Atalanta's performance to decline like now. However, the most reasonable reason may be because this season Atalanta is playing in the UCL which has divided the focus of the Atalanta players. So this is most likely why Atalanta's current performance is not good in Serie A.

And tomorrow Atalanta will play against Como, I think Atalanta must win this match. Because if not, Atalanta will most likely fall further behind Napoli and Inter, and apart from that, Atalanta also has the potential to be shifted in position. The reason is that currently Lazio, who is in 4th position, has a narrow points difference with Atalanta. So this match against Como is really very important so that Atalanta can remain in its current position.

[coinlocket$]

I cant understand italian teams right now, all the 3 big teams are doing non sense matches all the way.

Juventus yesterday making a silly match against Brugge and cutting off their chance of being in the top 8 in champions league, Milan winning only by one goal, and Inter suffering so much to win an easy game.

In local tournament also they are very irregular, let see what Juventus do this weekend in Napoles.

To be honest is quite incredible that 3 italians team are in the top 8.
Milan started the cup with no points and won the last 5 in a row.

Juventus is a reset year, and so far the reset has been not so good, not so bad, just average.
Inter is a mistery, the score a lot of goals in the locale league but they wins almost every game 1-0 in CL.

Meeting Como is good opportunity for Atalanta to break their bad streak with 4 unwin matches recently, 3 draws, 1 defeat. Como are improving their performances but meeting Como is better than facing top clubs, and Atalanta need to take this chance to find a first win after 5 matches and get back on Scudetto competition. They already fell to a third position and they can not lose more points at the moment with pressure from Lazio that have only 4 points less than Atalanta.

Juventus, Inter Milan and AC Milan are best representatives of Serie A in Europe in history and they are most experienced Italian clubs in Europe too. Inter Milan looks to be best teams from Serie A in this season, with quality and experience. Both AC Milan and Juventus have some own problems and other clubs like Lazio don't have enough quality to go too far.
