Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[stompix]

I wonder which team will be the disappointment for this round, as usual, my bet was on Milan screwing things up but what a surprise from Atalanta.

The second most prolific goal machine in Seria A getting a no-goal draw on their own home field against Cagliari?
Haven't watched the game but the stats say 2 shots on goal vs none from Cagliari so I am wondering what match that was, guess either boring to death or full of errors just before the finishing touch.
With things like this Inter should be only concerned about the ones in front, but since they are meeting Juventus, this will be a quagmire.

[hahay]

Atalanta failed to get three points at home, I did not expect the final result with a score of 0-0 to happen in this match. Because after all, Cagliari is a mediocre team and Atalanta should have maximized this moment to get full points by playing their main players. But indeed, basically Atalanta is still safe in third position but if Atalanta is still ambitious with consistent wins,  then wins after wins can give Atalanta to be able to compete in the scudetto race this season. But yes,  it seems that Atalanta does not have a big ambition to be able to enter the scudetto race, so Atalanta only gets 1 point at Gewiss Stadium.

Both Napoli and inter Milan have strong matches today. I think Napoli will win their match against Lazio. Although Lazio is a big side, they are gunning to maintain their top 4 status. But there is something about this Napoli side, they always have a way of talking away points in bigger matches. Antoine Conte always have a way of making sure that his team shines in bigger matches. I strongly believe that playing Napoli straight away win will pay off. On the hand, I think Inter Milan will be the team to drop points today against Juventus. Juventus is a team that has been very strong at home this season. They hardly lose games. So it's a difficult match for inter Milan to win. Either they settle for a draw or juventus will win them.

This week two scudetto candidates will meet tough opponents, starting with Lazio vs Napoli today on paper Napoli is slightly superior so their chances of ending the match with a win are quite high but because they will play as an away team to achieve it requires hard work. My prediction is a draw or Napoli wins.

As for the Inter match, the opponent cannot be underestimated, Juventus is a traditional club even though their consistency is currently a bit uncertain but if they face a strong team like Inter they can be relied on, for me their chances are 50/50 so a draw is possible.

The two teams that are the strongest candidates to win the scudetto this season will face a very crucial match in week 25, both teams will face relatively tough opponents and have the potential to change the position of the two teams at the top of the Serie A standings later.

Lazio Vs Napoli, although we may think on paper that Napoli is superior from Lazio, but in fact when on the field Lazio is often a nightmare for big teams, even this season Lazio has beaten Napoli in their last two matches in the Coppa Italia and also Serie A.

Juventus Vs Intermilan, the match will obviously be a difficult match for us to predict, moreover, the match will be an opportunity for Inter to pressure and coup Napoli from top of the standings , Juventus is a very strong opponent although it is not as consistent as Inter in winning this season, but still, Inter needs their best performance if they don't want to lose important points in the match later.

       Lazio 1-1 Napoli

This is a very tough long awaiting match and I am not disappointed with these two teams performance, because they have already scored one goal each in the first 13 minutes of the match.

Lazio scored first on ths 6th minutes to put his club on the lead but seven minutes later, Raspadori was able to make an equalizer with a good finish after a got a beautiful assit from Lukaku. The match is getting tougher as both teams are struggling to double their goal.

Lazio vs Napoli is about to start. Lazio finished the group stage of the UEFA Europa League as leaders. They also beat Monza 5-1 in their last match in the Italian Serie A. They have been performing well lately. On the other hand, Napoli are top of the Italian Serie A. They are the team with the least number of losses in the league this season. They have 17 wins, 4 draws and 3 defeats in 24 matches in the Italian Serie A. Both teams have a good performance. I think both teams will score is the best option in this match.

In less than 27' both teams have seen the back of the net. Lazio failing to hold the early 6' win for at least 20' might be a clear indication they don't have what it takes to hold Napoli down in this match. I expect to see more goals from Napoli which should strengthen their gap against Inter.

Lazio has a pretty nice record this season but I doubt if it's enough to hold Napoli down in a draw not to talk of a win. If it were Inter some possibilities could have been considered but Napoli I don't think Lazio is fully ready for tonight's action because I see more goals pumping in from Napoli

       Lazio 1-1 Napoli

I am very  disappointed with Napoli's performance so far. Napoli will have to perform better if they want to keep their place at the top of the table. I don't think they can continue their winning streak with such a  performance. The first half will probably end in 1-1. However napoli completely failed to dominate  the match. Only 1 shot was managed by Napoli players in the first half. maybe in the  second half Napoli will change their strategy and  attack more. If they don't attack more, it will not be possible for Napoli to break Lazio's defense today.

You sound as if you don't know that Lazio is not a weak team that Napoli can win easily. If Napoli wants to keep on dominanting the league, they need to show that they deserve it by improving their performance and trashing any club that comes their way. Lazio is always a hard nut for Napoli to crack and the second half wouldn't be easy for Napoli, because Lazio will also want to win the match.

[Baki202]

Napoli are on a mission of revenge in this game because they previously suffered two defeats against Lazio this season. The first defeat occurred in the Coppa Italia with a score of 1-3 and they also lost again to Lazio at their home base with a score of 0-1 in Serie A.

And the revenge is not in there favour yet but they are doing everything possible to maintain there position seria A and this is looking like it's there season, and this Coppa Italia looks boring and I prefer the the seria A because it is more challenging than what they are playing in the coppa the italia and the lost to Lazio and that is just football for you any thing can happen.

The two consecutive defeats are a moral burden for Napoli players who are trying to secure their position at the top of the standings. If Napoli loses points at Lazio's headquarters, then Inter has a big chance of rising to the top of the standings.

And there is no club that is not pressed when it comes to football and people are just to scared for there club and for seria A they are still maintaining everything and I don't think Napoli will want to lose there position so there is a lot that is still going on.

It was quite surprising how the match started, with both teams able to score goals in a fairly quick time, making the score equal, and this score lasted until the end of the first half.

In the first half, Napoli actually did not appear so impressive, they just played around with the ball without making any significant attacks. And the goal from G. Raspadori in the 13th minute was the only shot launched by Napoli in the match. Meanwhile, Lazio in the first 45 minutes of the first half, they were able to release 5 shots towards the goal from Napoli with 3 shots on target. However, it is very unfortunate that Lazio was unable to maximize the opportunities they got properly.

Seeing the rhythm of the game from both teams, I feel quite sure that Lazio will win 3 points in this match.

Parma are winless in six matches and although they play resilient football at home and try not to give their opponents easy positions, they suffer from offensive inconsistency. Roma, on the other hand, did not make any mistakes in their last league game and with their experienced squad, they are a team that can make a difference, especially in attack. They also played a balanced game in defense and offense against Porto in the Europa League. Roma will play a rematch with Porto in the next week, so they may struggle to focus at times. Parma, despite not being able to get their defense back on track, have been scoring well throughout the season. However, Parma can focus on defense in this match and try to keep the score balanced. For this reason, I think it will be a balanced match and a draw.

This is a very tough long awaiting match and I am not disappointed with these two teams performance, because they have already scored one goal each in the first 13 minutes of the match.

The two goals that had been scored in the space of 13 minutes of the match seemed like it would last until the end. Even so, I have a feeling that Napoli could add one more goal to force this match to end with their victory. And we can see for ourselves now that Napoli are leading the match with a temporary 1-2 victory even though it counts as an Own Goal.
This is where Napoli supporters hope that Lazio can no longer make the equalizer score to 2-2.

Napoli are now in second half lead following an own goal from Adam Marusic. This will be a major win for them if they can hold the score line till full time because it will likely make them increase their lead over Inter Milan that will face Juventus this weekend in a match that can swing either direction. Juventus night the win as much as Inter Milan does so it will not be an easy one for Inter Milan who will be battling a team that have the home advantage on their side. From the records, it has been a very long time that Inter Milan defeated Juventus at Allianz Stadium so tonight will not be any exception.

The match is over and Lazio was able to equalize the goal on the 87th minutes to give Napoli a heart break. The goal was scored by Dia, after a beautiful ball work from Lazio players before N. Zaccagni gave Dia the assist and he played the ball professionally to the left corner of the post. Lazio has been a hindrance to Napoli progress this season, and Napoli needs to do something about it.

Roma in the high of confidence after get draw result from Porto in Europa league besides that their progress is very impressive because in Serie A Roma still unbeated since January Roma even can beat Lazio and draw from Napoli so from this record we can assume Roma is in the good shape and i know they have important match against Porto for second leg but i think this match too is still important for them moreover Roma opponent is only Parma which can be categorized as weak team so i think Ranieri still concern for this match and for the prediction i have opposite opinion rather than you because i predict Roma will won

This is where Napoli supporters hope that Lazio can no longer make the equalizer score to 2-2.

In the end, this match really happened as expected by Lazio supporters by sharing points with a score of 2-2, a goal scored by Dia in the 87th minute with a left foot kick, a very important goal for Lazio until the match ended.

With this draw, Napoli lost points for the third match in a row, of course this is very bad for Napoli because the points difference with Inter is getting thinner, only two points and Inter has never played a match against Juventus. So Inter has a great opportunity to overthrow Napoli at the top of the standings on condition that they can beat Juventus.

However, Napoli supporters can still hope that their team will remain at the top of the standings because Inter will certainly have difficulty beating Juventus who are currently in their best form and for Juventus this match is also important to be able to overtake Lazio in the top four. Serie A this season is very competitive both in the fight for the Serie A trophy and the fight for the top four positions.

Advantage Inter Milan. What a sad result for Napoli and a better one for Lazio but the happiest team right now will be Inter Milan because if they happen to win, they will occupy the first spot with one point ahead. Yeah, I know it's not good to count your eggs before they hatch but in football every unplayed game is mostly speculated for the big team to win.

At least Lazio fans did not see their favorite team come out of the match with a defeat at their proud stadium. For Napoli fans, they were also satisfied when they left the stadium singing because their favorite team could bag one point.

When Napoli fans' hopes did not come true as I wrote, now they hope that Inter Milan will also not get full points when playing against Juventus.
The match statistics show that this draw is very reasonable for both teams to accept.

In the end the match ended with a draw of 2-2. Lazio who were superior in terms of ball possession and attack, they were unable to maximize the opportunity to score more goals in this match. and on the other hand Napoli who were quite lucky because of the mistakes of the Lazio players, Napoli were able to win with a score of 2-1, but they were unable to maintain their advantage until the end of the match, right in the 87th minute the Lazio players managed to penetrate their mistakes by successfully equalizing.

With one point in this match, Napoli's position at the top of the standings is quite threatened, because if Inter Milan manages to win the 25th match against Juventus, then Napoli's position will really be shifted.

The game still ended in a draw of 2-2. The game was really tough, and that was how I also predicted the game to be because both of us are after the same thing, most especially Lazio, because some people were even thinking they would lose the game until they won their second goal at 87 minutes. Most people think that Lazio will not be able to get it after an own goal, but still they manage to score another goal.

Normally we all know that Napoli will not like to see them self off or at the top in the table, so they will have to put enough effort to see they are able to win the game, but unfortunately it doesn’t work, so definitely if Inter Milan wins their game against Juventus, then Napoli will have to leave that position in the table.

Napoli have had three draws in the three recent games and it has reduced the gap between them and other contending clubs. Inter Milan will move to the top of the Seria A if they win the game against Juventus tomorrow. It will not be an easy game for them but they need to fight and win that game to unseat Napoli.

Lazio was the better side, and they deserved to win. They were just unfortunate to conceive through an own goal and they also had one of their goals cancelled as offside. It's still a good game since they got a draw against the number one in the League.The race for the Seria A title has become more interesting with these top team having almost equal points.
