Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[imamusma]

This season the Italian teams don't seem to be in good shape at all in the Champions League. So currently only Inter Milan are the only ones who have managed to qualify for the round of 16. While the rest all failed. And even Atalanta, AC Milan and Juventus also all failed in the play-offs. That's a little disappointing considering that usually more than one or two teams from Serie A make it through to the next stage of the UCL. But this season is completely different. But in the European League it looks like Lazio is still leading well there. Meanwhile, AS Roma is still struggling in the play-off round.

This season happens to be one of the worst ones for the Italian teams as they represent their league in the European competitions. Having just one team left in the champions league and also one in the Europa League and one on the verge of being eliminated from the Europa League shows how poor generally their individual performance as a team is when compared to what other top clubs from other league are showcasing.

The team left in the champions league, Inter Milan may not make it that far again because their performance isn’t that thrilling to me. But we shall wait to see the outcome of the round of 16 games to know where they are better situated in the champions league this season. Other Italian teams that have been eliminated from the competition will now have ample time to focus more on their league and to also get to win a title there.

Of the five teams that qualified, only Inter Milan were able to survive. I think the new format of the Champions League makes it difficult for many teams, especially in the League Phase. Teams that do not have good squad depth, and are facing injury problems, and lack quality rotation options, seem to have a very hard time competing. We can even see Manchester City also included in the 20 teams that failed to advance to the round of 16, this underlines that the competition in the Champions League this season is indeed very competitive. Likewise with the Europa League and Conference League, the competitive level has increased much more than previous seasons.

Lecce vs udinese game tomorrow, can Lecce play this game to secure victory from udinese? Yes, because many teams use to take home advantage to beat their opponent to let people know that they are good at home. Udinese will be my favorite team in this game because they have high points more than Lecce in the Italy league table, and they will play this game in away it will make them to secure goals that will make them to get 3 points from Lecce.

Can Lecce team secure goal from this game? Yes, they will play this game to secure goal from the game, but the game will not going to favour them at the end because udinese defenders will not allow their strikers to get access to their goalpost to secure more than 1 goal.

To be honest, things with Serie A have left me very surprised. The team I least expected to emerge from the beginning was Napoli, and they are there at the top of the cannon. Inter is a team that for me does not lower its level. At any moment, Pipo Inzhagi's team can make the difference. In the case of Juve, it was a shame that they lost yesterday in the UCL. It is regrettable and I hope it does not affect their qualification in Serie A. Now more than ever they have to concentrate on Serie A.

Napoli started off with a form that felt like they were never going to have any levels of consistency to the point of been able to match up with the performance and strength of the teams on the table and that made people lower the expectations on them and that was the reason  they literally now appear even surprising to some as we were thinking they would gain some stability by next season considering all they had to be through this season

[reefsea]

Yes, this season is indeed bad for Serie A teams because they had to be eliminated early in the UCL competition leaving only Inter as the only Serie A representative in the competition, and in the Europa League competition, the good news is that there are two Serie A teams that have qualified for R16 after Lazio who has been confirmed to qualify, now Roma follows them after winning today's match against Porto.

And for those who were eliminated, they can focus more on Serie A, especially AC Milan because their position in the standings is still far from the best.

Regarding Inter journey in the UCL, I am still quite sure they can go further, Inter can always provide resistance to teams outside the Serie A league.

A big setback for Serie A because several representatives from Serie A were eliminated early in the Champions League. Their strength has not been able to compete strongly with other league teams in the Champions League, this is like what was experienced by AC Milan where they did not show their greatness at all this season because the opponents they faced were not too strong but in reality AC Milan had to give up. Also for Juventus, I think they can beat PSV because they won in the first leg but in the second leg Juventus had to give up with a score of 3-1.

Only Inter Milan remains in the Champions League representing Serie A. Well, Inter Milan's task is also very difficult because other teams are much stronger than them, but with teamwork I think they will be successful and can advance to the next stage. However, if you look at the quality of the Inter Milan team this season, of course they have made quite good progress and hope they can concentrate on every match, both in Serie A and in the Champions League.

* Venezia - Lazio => Lazio
 * Inter Milan - Genoa => Inter Milan
 * Hellas Verona - Fiorentina => Fiorentina
 * Empoli - Atalanta BC => Atalanta BC
 * Cagliari - Juventus => Juventus
 * AS Roma - Monza => AS Roma

big big bet this week, i try of course to win this one
I think all i selected can win

Of course those teams you choose are the once who are likely to win, but the truth is that I always find it very difficult to predict this  italian league. Reason been that I don't  know their strength, beside I don't watch them whenever time they are playing, I just know little about few of them which is juventus and inter milan. I have watched few of thier matches, and I most say that this two teams is in a very good performance this season. So among this above mentioned teams which you predicted to win, is only this two teams that I  mentioned that I can only build trust in.

The choice made by @bastisisca is a solid choice and seems realistic with the option to bet on a big team, but even so, we maybe also can see a surprise that seems to be able to happen from the choice he made, because so far a team like Roma has not looked very consistent in achieving victory, facing Monza may look easy for them but we can see that in the last few matches Roma often lose points from the weak teams, so I am not sure if they can easily beat Monza in the match although Monza is currently the team at the bottom of the Serie A standings.

You're right, but you know sometimes it doesn't matter the position they're. However Roma has always been weak  right from day one of this season, which is why I don't always rely on them because there was a day I bet them to win. they were actually playing with one of this smaller teams in italian league, And Roma was so lazy to the extent that they end up with a score of draw. that's when I got disappointed at Roma, ever since then I don't always include them in my bet slip.

Lecce vs udinese game tomorrow, can Lecce play this game to secure victory from udinese? Yes, because many teams use to take home advantage to beat their opponent to let people know that they are good at home. Udinese will be my favorite team in this game because they have high points more than Lecce in the Italy league table, and they will play this game in away it will make them to secure goals that will make them to get 3 points from Lecce.

Can Lecce team secure goal from this game? Yes, they will play this game to secure goal from the game, but the game will not going to favour them at the end because udinese defenders will not allow their strikers to get access to their goalpost to secure more than 1 goal.

Most times home advantage is not enough to win; in most cases experience, composure, number of chances created and properly utilised as well as good team communication goes ahead of home advantage. Udense is more likely to win against Lecce even though they are playing away.
While Lecce should be targeting for a possible win which still looks impossible that motivation can earn them a draw if they can be composed enough to handle their defense discretely. Udense wouldn't want to give Geona that opportunity to start threatening their current standing position so they will strive hard to win Lecce in tomorrow's game.

It is very unfortunate, 3 clubs from Serie A who entered the UCL Play-Off round had to be eliminated all.........

Last season was also like that, nothing could be expected from the clubs representing the Italian League, but at least Napoli, Lazio and Inter Milan were able to qualify for the last 16, but their struggle still only reached that round and this season the only hope is Inter Milan, hopefully this club can advance further in the UCL, but if they meet a top club from another league, I am also worried that Inter will be eliminated in the last 16, just like last season when Inter played against Atletico Madrid.

You're right, at least last season, Serie A clubs entered the round of 16 were Inter Milan, Lazio and also Napoli. It's just that, they were eliminated again. However, so far, Serie A is not that strong to be able to win the UCL, Inter who several seasons earlier entered the final but had to lose. Yes, it's been a long time, clubs from Serie A have fasted for the UCL title.

Yes, we will return to the Serie A match which will start tomorrow. And there are several clubs that will compete to rematch each other's positions. And this is very exciting.

This season goes bad for Italian clubs as they are no longer competitive in Champions League with only Inter Milan stays for 1/8 phase. Other three clubs: AC Milan, Atalanta and Juventus all had to end their journeys too early. In Europa League and Conference League, we will have to wait for results in coming days but it looks to be not actually too good.

With only one representative left in the Champions League, we can see how bad the performance of the Italian representatives in the Champions League this season is and even Inter Milan itself will find it much more difficult to advance to the next round by relying on their current strength. Atalanta can focus more on catching up on the points behind the leaders and vice versa with Juventus and AC Milan because failing to advance to the next round in the Champions League gives more time and focus to the three clubs.

After three successful seasons in Europe, this season can be a failed season for clubs from Serie A. For 1/8 phase, in Champions League there is only one representative Inter Milan but they're strong, and in Europa League there are two representatives AS Roma and Lazio but there is possibility that they will face with each other in 1/8 phase.

In Conference League, let's see how many clubs from Serie A will be eligible for a next phase. Generally many clubs did not play good enough in Europe this season and this general performances affect total points and a rank of the league after this season compares to other top four leagues. This can affect total spots for Serie A in a next season.

Lecce vs udinese game tomorrow, can Lecce play this game to secure victory from udinese? Yes, because many teams use to take home advantage to beat their opponent to let people know that they are good at home. Udinese will be my favorite team in this game because they have high points more than Lecce in the Italy league table, and they will play this game in away it will make them to secure goals that will make them to get 3 points from Lecce.

Can Lecce team secure goal from this game? Yes, they will play this game to secure goal from the game, but the game will not going to favour them at the end because udinese defenders will not allow their strikers to get access to their goalpost to secure more than 1 goal.

Most times home advantage is not enough to win; in most cases experience, composure, number of chances created and properly utilised as well as good team communication goes ahead of home advantage. Udense is more likely to win against Lecce even though they are playing away.

Udense wouldn't want to give Geona that opportunity to start threatening their current standing position so they will strive hard to win Lecce in tomorrow's game.

Yes playing at home will not guarantee victory if the team does not have really strong playing power, however playing at home is just an advantage to increase self-confidence because they have really mastered the field used and can have more support from their fans to increase their playing spirit.
Seeing how both team do show Udinese is much better, they have superior quality of play compared to Lecce and I believe Udinese will be able to try their best to win and stay in their position without having to worry about shifting, moreover Genoa will also be against Inter Milan so it is impossible to get points and catch up with Udinese.

[Gallar]

AC Milan was eliminated by Feyenoord, Atalanta had to admit the superiority of Club Brugge and Juventus had to admit defeat to PSV, only Inter Milan remained and they could also qualify earlier because they were in the top 8 of the league round.
This is a setback for the team from Serie A, because in the last few seasons, the team from Serie A could actually make a breakthrough. Even in the previous 2 seasons they sent 3 representatives in the top 8, although one by one they had to be eliminated from the competition.

Yes, it's a shame that not many teams from Serie A were able to qualify for the round of 16 in the UCL. Even though I thought that Juventus, Milan and Atalanta would qualify for the round of 16. Because in the first leg the three teams really performed very promisingly. So I think in the second leg these three teams will perform even better. But it turns out that in the second leg these three teams really didn't live up to our expectations. Because even though they were superior on aggregate in the first leg, in the second leg the teams lost.

Maybe with this, we can conclude that the quality of the teams in Serie A currently has really decreased compared to the previous season. Because currently there is only one team from Serie A that has entered the round of 16, namely Inter. I think Inter will also most likely have difficulty getting past the round of 16. Because the quality of its performance is currently declining, I don't think Inter's competitiveness in the round of 16 will be a significant threat to other teams in the UCL. But let's just see how Inter performs in the round of 16, and apart from that, I personally think Inter has the opportunity to face great teams like Real Madrid in the round of 16.

[Hvdv]

It's very unique, yes, the competition between Napoli and Inter, the two of them, strangely enough, is always like that, when Napoli's performance is not good, Inter is also not as good. even though in fact, when Napoli played less well, such as when Napoli played against Roma, Udinese and Lazio with a draw, of course, even though at that time it was the right time for Inter to overtake Napoli, but unfortunately Inter also followed suit with a less good performance, such as losing to Fiorentina and finally Juventus. But of course, incidents like this make their competition even more exciting and of course it's possible that they will be like that until the end of the season.

But of course, we'll see what happens next and whether they can continue to compete fiercely or not. and of course what makes me curious is the next match after Napoli against Como and Inter against Genoa and Lazio in the Coppa Italia and finally Inter will play Napoli and of course in that match we will definitely see their fierce battle and of course in that match Inter will definitely want to win and Napoli will also want to win and I'm sure many people are waiting for that match.

To be honest, things with Serie A have left me very surprised. The team I least expected to emerge from the beginning was Napoli, and they are there at the top of the cannon. Inter is a team that for me does not lower its level. At any moment, Pipo Inzhagi's team can make the difference. In the case of Juve, it was a shame that they lost yesterday in the UCL. It is regrettable and I hope it does not affect their qualification in Serie A. Now more than ever they have to concentrate on Serie A.

Juventus has the same points as Lazio. I think we all expected this to be a competitive league at the beginning of the year. The fight between Napoli and Inter is proving this to us. Inter can take over the top spot. There is a two point difference between them and Napoli. Napoli is a team with very high quality players and their claims for the championship are still ongoing. We see that this race will continue until the end of the year.

Napoli started off with a form that felt like they were never going to have any levels of consistency to the point of been able to match up with the performance and strength of the teams on the table and that made people lower the expectations on them and that was the reason  they literally now appear even surprising to some as we were thinking they would gain some stability by next season considering all they had to be through this season

Stability is important for Napoli this year. If they can maintain this stability, they can achieve significant success in the Champions League next year. Since they finished tenth in the Italian league last year, they could not take part in the Europa League or a European match this year. This year's ranking is very important for the Champions League competition. If we think they can take part in the Champions League next year, they can achieve success in the Champions League with this stability. For now, the important thing is to finish the league as Champions ahead of Inter.

It is the same as when Juventus dominated Serie A for 9 seasons, Juventus has always been consistent in representing Italy in the Champions League, there are times when strong teams will slump or experience setbacks such as Juventus, AC Milan, such as Atalanta who experienced tension in the dressing room by their coach, there will definitely be problems that occur behind the scenes so it is not surprising that their performance is often inconsistent in their last few matches, this is a problem with the tight schedule made by FiFA in the new system in the Champions League, it is not surprising that many players experience injuries or fatigue or even a decline in performance, with the failure of the 3 big Italian clubs at least it can benefit them to stay focused on the Domestic League as you said.

Every team has its own rhythm and even if a team has the potential to clinch many victories there are circumstances which hamper them in the field. Not only in terms of quality of the game but also because of the time constraints and raise of the competition pressure the condition of the team may be worsened. This fact means that in many cases the squad has to react to some modifications which happen, on the tactical and personnel levels. Loses due to injuries, fatigue and the team’s internal issues are natural and more common during a busy season. However, the lack of competition from European teams is actually an advantage in this case because the team would at least now be able to be focused on gaining their power back in the domestic league and enhancing their performance.

The tight match schedule I think is not a problem for a team's performance, but the decline that occurred in Juventus' performance, which initially dominated Serie A, is inseparable from the rise of several other Serie A teams that made this competition more competitive.
That's a natural thing to happen, there are even positive impacts for Serie A in various aspects because this competition is not only dominated by a few teams.
And if I see, Juventus is not actually down too much, it's just that several teams such as Napoli, Inter Milan and several other Serie A teams have improved enough to be able to beat Juventus.

[Fara Chan]

You're right, but you know sometimes it doesn't matter the position they're. However Roma has always been weak  right from day one of this season, which is why I don't always rely on them because there was a day I bet them to win. they were actually playing with one of this smaller teams in italian league, And Roma was so lazy to the extent that they end up with a score of draw. that's when I got disappointed at Roma, ever since then I don't always include them in my bet slip.

Roma has really not been that consistent this season so that their ranking in Serie A this season is still stuck in ninth place and in the next match this season I am also not sure that Roma can win even though Roma is playing at home. But on the other hand Roma also does not rule out the possibility of being able to beat opponents like Monza in the next match this season because sometimes Roma can also play better in certain matches even though in previous matches Roma was not good with their own performance.

[ancafe]

Juventus have no other thing to fight rather than focus on Serie A because hours ago, they lost in Netherlands to PSV and were beaten and kicked out of Champions League after the playoff phase. It is big disappointment for them but they have to forget about this defeat, move on and be focused in Serie A. The league is very tight in top four competition or the fourth position competition among Juventus and other clubs.

Juventus have gotten good contributions and effects from Kolo Muani in Serie A, but they still don't have a secure position in top four. Focusing to play well and earning more points are only ways to help maintain a good position in top four and finish this season in it for eligible as one of four Italian clubs in Champions League next season.

Failing to qualify for the next round in the Champions League could make Juventus more focused on facing the competition in the top four of Serie-A even though it is quite regrettable for the results they get and it must be admitted that their strength is much worse when facing defeat from PSV Eindhoven. Juventus need to evaluate the attack line even though Kolo Muani's presence has a slightly better impact, but Kolo Muani has not fully adapted well with the team.

Lazio and Fiorentina still have the opportunity to catch up on the points behind Juventus who are currently in fourth place in the standings so that in the future Juventus can focus more on securing that position so that next season they will qualify for the Champions League again.

This is a surprise that happened, no one expected that the Serie A representatives would be eliminated early even in the play-off round match Juventus, AC Milan and Atalanta were quite favored but instead the three teams had to be eliminated, this is really something beyond many people's predictions.
But just because of that we also can't say that a decline occurred in Serie A, in fact if we look at this season the competition for the Scudetto is quite fierce with several teams that have almost the same strength.
I think this season is just bad luck for the Serie A representatives in the Champion League competition and I don't think that these teams have declined and cannot compete in the Champion League competition.

No I am not saying that the competition in Serie A has declined, what I mean by decline is when they are in the Champions League. Obviously if we talk about Serie A, then the competition here is very good and becomes a competitive competition that we are interested in continuing to follow. Maybe what you said is true, they were unlucky in the Champions League this season so that they had to experience something bitter where their representatives in the play-off round had to all fall, even though in terms of seeding they were actually quite favored in the match.

[Sexylizzy2813]

This problem at Atalanta will definitely bring poor communication between the player Lookman and the manager and I feel the dressing room won't be as it was, for me what the manager said was true but as a manager you need to know when to stop. You can't go all out and be blasting your player that you are suppose to protect, the public disgrace is not called for and the fans are requesting for an apology,

Exactly this is how it began with Victor Osimhen and people were thinking it will pass but the disagreement and blasting keeps increasing and until the players find his way out that is when he had a calm mind, what the Atalanta did was like using a dirty hand on the white because is like a stone he threw against Lookman, actually the impact of Lookman in the club shouldn't have been discarded because of a penalty he missed, has the coach ever thought that scoring the penalty wouldn't have given them the win they vision for because it could have just been 3:2 and they still loss, so why does he drag too much about that.

Yes I agree with you and now Victor Osimhen has gotten his peace of mind but for him is not yet over until he finally leaves Napoli. Sometimes these coaches easily forget who and what gave them what they never had in a long run, the trophy they won or should I say the trophy Lookman won for the club should never be forgotten that easy no matter what and if I was the coach I won't even take this game to heart because is a lost game already because no amount of goals Atalanta will score that their opposition won't reply them. It seems like the manager is offended that the player Lookman was injured and if he wasn't they won't have lost the first leg, maybe he is blaming Lookman for getting that injury and missing some of their games and thisnis the only avenue to pour out his anger, I think thats the thing.
