Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Juse14]

I don't know why Inter Milan's performance against Fiorentina seemed unfamiliar to me. It's been a long time since I've seen a performance like this from Inter Milan. Going into the field against Fiorentina, Inter Milan would have taken full points and if Inter Milan had taken full points, they would have played the same number of matches as Napoli, level on points with Napoli, but that did not happen. Inter Milan lost 3-0 against Fiorentina. Inter Milan is now three points behind Napoli directly. As bad as they have performed in this match, if Inter Milan performs badly in the next few matches, then Napoli will be much ahead of Inter Milan in terms of points. And if Napoli leads by 8 points or 10 points at this stage, it will be very difficult for Inter Milan to catch Napoli later.

Honestly I believe that Inter Milan can win this match, but it turns out they have to lose with a fairly big score which makes them miss the opportunity to be able to match the points obtained by Napoli. In the first half there were no goals scored, but entering the second half Fiorentina got opportunities that they could convert into a goal and that was 3 goals that they managed to create. No matter how hard Inter Milan tried to create a goal, the defense built by Fiorentna in this match was very solid and they really managed to block Inter Milan's attacks.

Fiorentina can not be underestimated, they began to find their consistency again, after some time ago quite often swallowing the bitter pill of defeat. and of course it became unexpected when Fiorentina was able to grab 3 full points from Inter Milan with a fairly impressive score. But what is quite interesting in the next match is that both teams will face each other again. The match will take place at San Siro with Inter Milan appearing as the host. and of course I hope that by playing as the host, Inter Milan players can appear more confident even though in the previous match they lost badly to Fiorentina. Because if Inter Milan loses again in this match, then not only will their points gain widen with Napoli, but their position as runner-up in the standings could also be shifted, considering the difference in points they currently have is very thin with the points gained by Atalanta, where the difference is only one point with Inter Milan who collected 51 points and Atalanta with a collection of 50 points.

Hellas Verona FC 0 - 5 Atalanta BC

Even without Ademola Lookman, Atalanta managed to win and score 5 goals and did not concede a goal. It's funny that in the 1st half Atalanta had already managed to score 4 goals and I even started celebrating because my bet had no more chances of being wrong. I wasn't watching Verona change the result so I stopped watching the game, with this victory Atalanta will remain in the position of access to the European Champions League.

Atalanta destroyed Verona before half, not only won. Retegui was playing FIFA on beginner mode out there. 4 goals, in every possible way. No Lookman, no trouble at all. That terrifies me. Gasperini's system is a machine; it makes no difference who performs it. They plug in and go

And honestly, Verona looked finished before they even stepped on the field. Not intensity, not strategy, simply seeing Atalanta sprint through them like training cones. You were right to cash out early, because there was zero chance Verona was making a comeback. They controlled for fifteen minutes before being completely erased

Is this Atalanta enough good to maintain a UCL slot? 50 points is solid, but the league is tight. They are in if they hold their own against the top 4 and continue steamrolling understrength teams. If they fall, though, there are teams ready to grab. Retegui must maintain this level since Lookman's comeback will simply make them more nastier

My prediction was so wrong about Atalanta having problems in Verona.
They destroyed them 

Milan also won against Empoli, the race is on for the 4th spot.

Can we say Atalanta is back on track after this performance today or is this just a one time thing? Believe me if Atalanta had been playing like this when they met bigger clubs I think those teams would have respected them and they would be amongst the teams that other clubs would be dreading but when you meet a big side and lose to them but come to a smaller team and thrash them mercilessly, it only shows that you are not as fierce as you think.
 Anyways, between Atalanta and Napoli, it's just four points that differentiates them and it won't be bad if they can try to meet up since it's looking like Inter is not so balanced at the moment.
Great job though to Mateo Retegui as the Italian was able to be on target four times for the visitors, Increasing his goal count to 20. He has become one of the forwards in the Italian Serie A that should not be joked with and I look forward to seeing more from him. Who knows how many goals he'd close this season with.

Atalanta still has a chance to fight for the title, they are not far behind Inter and Napoli but they need to win all the remaining games and pray that Inter and Napoli lose in many games, something that will be difficult to happen. It is true that in the last 5 games Inter lost a lot of points, something strange, but we still do not know if Inter will lose more points in the next games.


FC Empoli 0 - 2 AC Milan

very important victory for Milan, Milan is slowly recovering positions in the table

[MK-74]

Atalanta won very comfortably today. With this victory, they stayed in the championship race.
They won the match 5-0 and Mateo Retegui was the star by scoring 4 goals.

Milan beat Empoli 2-0, 1 player from each team was shown a red card and the teams played with 1 less man for the last 30 minutes of the match.

[KTChampions]

Milan and Atalanta should have an easier time winning this match. However, the current favorites will not find it easy to beat Empoli and Verona. Both teams, although weak, can be more ferocious when they play at home. A narrow win is possible, but I am sure it will happen in the second half.

The games really turned out to be easy for the favourites and Atalanta even returned to their super-productive performance that they had in the first third of the season. Verona with 15 defeats and Empoli with 21 points after 23 (now 24) games certainly looked like easy prey, but I wouldn't risk making these bets due to doubts about Atlanta and Milan.

Milan and Atalanta should have an easier time winning this match. However, the current favorites will not find it easy to beat Empoli and Verona. Both teams, although weak, can be more ferocious when they play at home. A narrow win is possible, but I am sure it will happen in the second half.

Even though the odds are not very attractive to me especially since I always do multi for odds like this but it seems like this week you get a pretty good win because they are favorites to win and managed to realize that in today's match.

Milan won with a drama that I think was quite good where there were 2 red cards in this match and a hard match because seeing the total fouls that these two clubs had really showed that this match was very hard.
But even so they managed to secure 3 points in this match and I think that is a very good thing for Milan.

In another match Atalanta managed to win very convincingly this week and Mateo Retegui is still unstoppable at the moment because he is still very active in scoring goals and 4 goals in this match made him again away from the top score with a difference of 5 goals from Mois Kean as a competitor for this season.

[Weawant]

Yeah actually anything can happen in every match including unreasonable things and here Inter Milan as the favorite team was defeated even they conceded 3 goals without scoring a single goal, I thought it was a joke    but don't forget this is Serie A I mean there are many scenarios here in the past. Now Inter Milan let Napoli be more comfortable at the top of the standings for the next few weeks and Inter Milan will wait for the right time to take over, for example in the match between Napoli vs Inter Milan on March 2 but it won't be easy because Inter Milan is playing away. Based on the schedule, Inter Milan also has 2 tough matches coming up again they have to play against Fiorentina then against Juventus it's clearly a confusing situation for Inter Milan.

Inter have masterful the serie A such that I believe they have got this way of having their way around the games and all of that in the serie A such that even when I see that they are probably loosing I seem not to be scared just yet , even last season they had similar case with Juventus on the title race and before they the season endeded they were already some very reasonable points ahead topping the table and ending the season so well.

AC Milan's performance this season especially in the Italian Serie A I think is below the expectations of many. They managed to beat Empoli today but I think the win happened because the Empoli player Marrianucci was sent off in the 65th minute of the game. It was three minutes after the home side was reduced to 10 men that AC Milan opened the scoreboard through Rafael Leao before Gimenez added AC Milan's second goal of the night.
AC Milan new manager Sérgio Conceição is doing his best I think but he needs to do more than we're currently seeing from his side so the club can come back to winning ways again. They wanted all three points and got it all and that I think was the most important thing about the game.

[bering]

I can says Mateo Retegui is successful transfer for Atalanta this because he has change became an Atalanta goal machine for this season and at the beginning of season Atalanta have to lost Gianluca Scamacca because long term injured and when Gasperini choose Mateo Retegui as the replacement of Gianluca Scamacca most people doubt he is the right player to solved the front lines of Atalanta

20 million as transfer fees is cheap price considering Mateo Retegui performance is very fantastic this season because until today Retegui can leading the top scorer list for Serie A with 20 goals and i am sure Gasperini will be satisfied to see Retegui performance and next summer i am sure some big clubs will attempts to buy Retegui and i think Atalanta should be hold Retegui for much longer because he is important player for them

[reefsea]

My prediction was so wrong about Atalanta having problems in Verona.
They destroyed them 

Milan also won against Empoli, the race is on for the 4th spot.

A great win for AC Milan, they are so passionate to return to the top 4. AC Milan played quite well in this match, they made quite a lot of shots and of course their game improvement has been better than before.

The competition in the fight for the top 4 will continue to occur even some teams have a greater chance such as Fiorentina and Lazio. Fiorentina has also proven again that they will be ready to compete stronger because they have found their form again, the next match Fiorentina will face Inter Milan again, on the one hand this match may drain a lot of energy for Fiorentina to beat Inter Milan again.

[TopT3ns]

Milan was able to get all three points against Empoli as the match ended 0-2 in favor of the visitors. The first half ended goalless, and in the second half both teams got a red card each and ended the match with ten men. Raphael Leao was the goal opener on the 68th minutes with a header, and Gimenez scored the second goal on the 76th minutes to seal up their victory. Pulisic made the two goal assist.

In the match Milan defeated Empoli 0-2 to have an overall good tactical discipline and knowing how to seize valuable opportunities after the break. Aplenty of chances were created in the match and a goal-less first half and second half witnessed more aggression and efficiency by the Milan with ten men of its side. Whereas, Leao was able to head into an open goal that opened the scoring and Gimenez who also came from Atalanta sealed the win. Pulisic also created two goals which is also worthy of appreciation since his role can be assumed to have greatly contributed to the creation of opportunities. This shows that even when put under pressure for the remaining part of the match, possessing excellent team work and appropriate mental strength Milan could establish yet another victory.

Milan tried very hard. They even got a red card first, but fortunately, before they could take full advantage of their chances against 10 men, their opponents, Empoli, also got a red card. And from here the goals started to come.

It wasn't easy for Gimenez to adapt and score goals in Serie A. But finally, he did it very well. At least, his contribution has started since the last FA Cup match.

yes, I agree with you, I didn't expect it either with 20 million euros Atalanta created machine goals like Salah (21 goals), Harry Kane (21 goals), Gyokeres (22 goals), etc. The players that I mentioned definitely have a price above 70 million euros, is very far when compared to Mateo Retegui. He's also very young (25 years old) will be even sharper if Gasperini able to maximize it. I'm sure the transfer value will increase 3-4 times if Retegui manages to become top score until the end of session. Arsenal had a glance at him, he offered 38 Million Euro. it means to go up about 18 million euro after bought. That is profit, but of course, Atalanta won't his baby let go to another club. Mateo Retegui is a long-term investment which possible his value will increase 10 times.

Retegui changed a lot in this season and is very different than his performances in previous seasons and in Euro 2024 for Italy with his very disappointed performances for his national team. Atalanta scored many goals this season and they have two players in top scorers list, Retegui and Lookman similar to their main competitor for Scudetto with Marcus Thuram and Lautaro Martinez in the list.

It's surprise with appearance of Moise Kean at the second position, with 15 goals. In many years, Moise Kean came to a promising young player and future of Italy squad, to a player likely can not grow up more, but this season is very beautiful for him. His goals contribute a lot to Fiorentina appearance in top four of Serie A.

3 goals without reply, yes Inter Milan must accept the bitter reality because they could not get points in this match and let Napoli continue to lead the standings with a very close distance. Actually, if they could win this match, then it is certain that they could lead the standings because their points are the same but Inter Milan is still better in goal productivity. However, the match did not always go well and now Inter Milan must accept the fact that they had to lose in this very important match. they still have many opportunities, I hope they can still maintain their mentality.

[X-ray]

Milan and Atalanta should have an easier time winning this match. However, the current favorites will not find it easy to beat Empoli and Verona. Both teams, although weak, can be more ferocious when they play at home. A narrow win is possible, but I am sure it will happen in the second half.

Congrats. Your bet seems gonna give you ez money. Atalanta is leading the game with 5 goals, and obviously winning it. You have only to wait the result between Milan and Empoli, but i'm sure they will win even if they have to do it with narrow score coz i'm betting on them as well.  

AC Milan is in high confidence now so I am also quite sure that AC Milan will be able to win the match against Empoli easily, I also bet on that.

But speaking of Atalanta is a pretty good betting choice and Atalanta managed to win the match with a big score, I initially doubted Atalanta a little because in the last 2 matches in Serie A the Atalanta team played a little badly and got bad results but in the match against Verona they managed to rise and show their true quality of play, this is an extraordinary and important victory for Atalanta.

Yeah, my wishes come true. AC Milan won the game with two nil, and big thanks for Pulisic as he provided two assists. He has not yet lost creativity after he left from Chelsea. Glad to see he also helped Santiago Gimenez to scored his first goal too. I'm very happy with the result.

On other hand, Atalanta did well, but fully respect on Rategui. He doesn't seem slowing down, and keep pushing himself played beyond his limit.

At times, it may not be an automatic ticket to those you think understand the game and I see Napoli as a hungry club for the title that would do everything possible to win it again. I won't deny that Inter understands the game well and has won the title many times over, yet its current feat where the defence and attack are mildly strong is an issue. Also, comparing both clubs' last 5 games, Napoli won 5 but Inter won just 2, and Napoli lost none but Inter lost 1. These should not be taken for granted and if they continue this way, Napoli will certainly be the better side to win the title.

Empoli vs Milan (Milan win) Win
Verona vs Atalanta (Atalanta win) Win

You are right if this is ez money for us.  And I did not expect that the players owned by Atalanta and who have not been with the team for long could make a very big contribution. Former Genoa player, Mateo Retegui was able to score 4 goals in the match which made Atalanta even more ambitious to entrust the attack line to the player. And now Atalanta is getting further away from Juventus and getting closer to Inter. This is a pressure for Inter because Atalanta has found a player who is really able to give the best results in every match.

The match was colored by 2 red cards and 2 goals, yes AC Milan could easily win the match even though they had to wait until the second half to be able to score a goal.
This is a fairly easy match to predict, although at first I was quite worried about AC Milan because in several matches they were not consistent enough to be able to win the match.
The defense that AC Milan managed to build in this match went well, so they were able to prevent Empoli from getting opportunities that could endanger them.
This defeat makes Empoli likely to be in a relegation position faster.
