Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Velvet78]

In case Inter win against Napoli this Saturday, we can call them like half-champions already. Because a potential win will help them get 4 points ahead of their direct title rival so...

This is why this game is very important in terms of league championship. Every game is important of course. But this one is a challenge between the title contenders. If Napoli win I can't say they are halfway through honestly. But still a good advantage will be back in their hands. The reason why is their game look inconsistent recently. They are much less productive than Inter. This isn't sustainable until the end of the season.    I just feel like we are going to watch Inter getting their back-to-back title.

[bitgolden]

I feel like the reason why this hurt so much was because it was against a team like Empoli. I mean if it was some other better team, then the loss would have been an accepted one, because you could always lose to a team like Inter or Napoli or even Milan maybe, those are understandable ones.

However, when you end up losing to a team like Empoli, when you are so much bigger than them, it ends up being not that great and doesn't feel like it would make that much sense in the end. I sure do hope that they get better results, it doesn't look like we are going to see them get to a point where we could see them have a recovery from here. They will probably finish the season badly but I am hoping they will get a lot better.

Motta has been confirmed from the management for now.
If he will fail the 4th position he will be sacked for sure.

It may be sacked anyway at the end of the seaoson if the lost the trust from the players.
And of the moment there is nothing that confirms that players believes in him.

[Uruhara]

And more focused on the match in Serie A, today there is a match that is quite interesting to watch. AC Milan and Bologna will undergo a match that was postponed, quite interesting because both teams have almost the same strength, on the other hand their position in the standings is also very close to AC Milan which is in 7th position and Bologna which is in 8th position, and even more interestingly at this time both teams have collected the same points, namely 41 points so this match is quite crucial to determine their position temporarily in week 26.

Bologna's performance this season is the same as AC Milan where their consistency is really just as bad. It's just that AC Milan has started to rise recently. while Bologna is still the same. So I will favor AC Milan in this match. Because, well, the reason is quite clear, because AC Milan can be trusted more because their defense seems to be a little better.
But if AC Milan was still coached by Paulo Fonseca then maybe in this match I would trust Bologna more. It's just that after Fonseca was replaced by Sergio Conceicao, I saw AC Milan starting to improve little by little. So I believe that currently AC Milan will be able to beat Bologna even though the result may only be a narrow win with 1 goal, for example.

Well, even though Juventus did not have the results as expected with the appointment of Motta at that time, but Juventus can still guarantee to be able to finish in the top four at the end of this season. Indeed, there is still a fairly close gap with Lazio which is only 2 points different at this time, but I personally will still believe Juventus will be able to maintain that position until the end. But, if it is about considering Motta's dismissal due to the lack of player trust, then even though Juventus finishes in the top four, then of course, the dismissal will still happen.

The situation is a bit complicated there and I don't think Thiago Motta can be completely blamed for the inconsistency that has occurred at Juventus this season. Because we know that the previous coach that Juventus had was Massimiliano Allegri, who also brought great success to Juventus by becoming champion in Serie A five seasons in a row, but in the last few seasons it has been very difficult to bring Juventus to its best performance. So I even started to think that the problem sometimes is not the manager you have but something else. Whether it's the players or the situation within the club itself. Because Thiago Motta was a pretty great coach when he was at Bologna in my opinion and at the start of this season Juventus were also very good under Motta's coaching. Even now, Juventus is actually the team that has suffered the fewest defeats in Serie A this season, having only lost once. But I don't know what happened to this team which experienced more draws. Maybe I think it is the quality of the team's front players that needs to be improved. I think this team needs a sharper striker than a new coach.

Coaching transitions attract a lot of attention, but other factors also dictate the outcomes of a team. Thiago Motta demonstrated his value as a player while playing for Bologna and in the present season, Juventus is in a sufficiently high position in the tournament table. Reliability in wins is however something that has not been established fully and particularly so, when draws begin to affect the accumulation of the full point tally. It may be linked with the overall front line performance since the offered opportunities do not always lead to goals. Juventus has always been a club that plays in the highest tier of the football playing pyramid and the current situation should not be perceived as a phenomenon that Juve cannot come back to the playing form that is considered to be its tradition.

.......................................

Juventus is already on the 4th position, what they need is to be consistent for them to maintain the fourth position till the end of the season. If they fail to improve their performance in order to be consistent, they will find themselves in UEL by next season and Lazio will replace them in UCL. I don't know what's the problem with Juventus this season.

Not only Juventus but also with 3 other teams namely AC Milan, Bologna and Atalanta which are also teams representing Serie A in the European Champions League competition but they really performed badly in the preliminary round and also the play-off round so that of the 5 participants representing Serie A only one team qualified for the last 16, namely Inter Milan. And seeing how the competition is at the top of the Serie A standings at this time, it seems that AC Milan and Bologna will be absent from the Champions League for next season.

And more focused on the match in Serie A, today there is a match that is quite interesting to watch. AC Milan and Bologna will undergo a match that was postponed, quite interesting because both teams have almost the same strength, on the other hand their position in the standings is also very close to AC Milan which is in 7th position and Bologna which is in 8th position, and even more interestingly at this time both teams have collected the same points, namely 41 points so this match is quite crucial to determine their position temporarily in week 26.

Of course, this match is an important match for the two clubs and of course it is true that their strengths are certainly not much different, but in this match the two teams will definitely compete fiercely because of course if, for example, Bologna manages to beat Milan, then Bologna will definitely have the potential to move up the rankings and will be able to shift Fiorentina's position. Likewise, if Milan wins, there will definitely be a big potential to shift Fiorentina's position and it is true that the point is that the match that will be played today will be very exciting.

Of course, the AC Milan vs Bologna match is only a few hours away and of course this match is really much awaited because the winner will definitely get the full 3 points. In my opinion, Milan will have the potential to win the Nani match, but it certainly won't be easy because their strengths are not that different. but of course in the next match I will bet on Milan winning and to be honest, my friends and I have gathered to get ready to watch the match later and most of them also of course support Milan and I am also sure that Milan will win and I predict a score of 2-1 for the match.

I expect an open game here. Both teams have been inconsistent this season — Bologna lost its structure after Thiago Motta’s departure, while Milan is still adjusting under Conceicao. 
With both sides sitting on 41 points, a win would lift them to sixth place. Given their defensive issues and the importance of the result, this should be an entertaining match with plenty of chances on both ends.

[ingiltere]

It will be a very tough match for Milan. They are at the same points with Bologna. In their last game, they lost to Torino. Bologna also, despite being unbeaten in seven matches, got a defeat against Parma. I expect both teams to play a more controlled game and we might see a match where they are okay for a draw.

Joao Felix will play on the right wing, he needs to contribute to the score now. Gimenez is once again leading the attack. With Reijnders and Leao, Milan has a strong offensive force, which should normally produce goals. I think this match will either end 1-1 or Milan will win 2-1. I believe both teams can score, but neither will give up too much control.

It is not always an easy match for either team anytime they meet, and even today, I am expecting the match to be a tough one, especially with Bologna hosting the game. As it seems that Bologna and AC Milan's level of performance is the same, I believe both teams have an equal chance of winning this match. However, considering the home advantage, I predict that Bologna may have a slightly better chance of winning than AC Milan. But let's see what will happen, because even from their head-to-head record, it always looks tough, and many of their matches have ended in a draw. So, even today, the match may end in a draw.

[3meek]

I think the key fact may be that Bologna last beat Milan in 2016... So Milan, if the stats are to be believed, have a dominance in head-to-head encounters... If Bologna can win today, it will be a big event for them... But I think that Milan will not lose in this game and it will be a draw...

[Altryist]

I believe both teams can score, but neither will give up too much control.

Milan did not benefit from the change of coach, they are still outside the Euro Cup zone and in case of victory over Bologna they will be able to bypass Fiorentina, but for this they first need to beat Bologna, who are now perhaps even in better shape than Milan. I think that the task for Milan is at least to finish this season in the top 4, and for now they are far from this goal, they cannot lose points.

[jaberwock]

Yesterday with the defeat of Juventus a bad season officially opens from the Turin team, the fact of having spent so much so that the season is necessarily bankruptcy and Thiago Motta in fact apologized to all his fans to club and history, yesterday was a game to win and there is no excuses for him and for the team, I am not a fan but he made me lose the bet, Instead...

I guess Juventus coach need to deploy new tactics to eliminate this poor performance to save his Job with Juventus, but they have players that would have make the game 1:2 to secured full 3 points from the game but they made mistakes that led them to draw 1:1. Empoli many teams has played to secure victory in this season many times, but Juventus struggle to drew the game 1:1 , and it has reduced their points again because people hope that Juventus will use this game to recover their last game than to miss their opportunity.

Not only you that lose in that game bro, even me too I predicted for the favour of Juventus to win, unfortunately they managed to scored 1 goal from the game, and I don't think I will predict for the favour of Juventus in this season unless they win like 3 games before I will start betting for their favour.

While I understand Juventus wanted to get a win, that doesn't mean that they are having a terrible season. Ever since their domination period was over, we have seen Juventus not be that great, and because of that I am pretty sure that we are not going to see them do too well, not for a long time. I get that it may not be that easy to handle it all, but we can see this be a lot better with time, so we can't really approach this like it's some sort of a big huge issue for them that happened recently.

Like look at the past two seasons, and lets not act as if they were winning everything in these last two seasons, they weren't, so it is safe to assume that they are doing basically similar this season to how they have been. No improvement, but no downgrade neither.

I think it would be a blunder for Juventus to sack Thiago Motta at this time of the season. A new coach would have to start studying the teams and trying to understand the players. Having been knocked out of the Champions League by PSV Eindhoven and the Coppa Italia by Empoli, it is normal for the club management to question his ability as a manager.

I am not also comfortable with his harsh criticism of his player after their loss to Empoli. Such an attack will make the players feel angry and disconnected from him. He might end up losing the support of the players. The club is already targeting to sign the former Barcelona coach Xavi Hernández as Motta's replacement.

Juventus is already on the 4th position, what they need is to be consistent for them to maintain the fourth position till the end of the season. If they fail to improve their performance in order to be consistent, they will find themselves in UEL by next season and Lazio will replace them in UCL. I don't know what's the problem with Juventus this season.

Since Juventus are out of the Champions League race, they will focus more on the Serie A games so they have no excuse if they don't qualify for the champions league next season by making sure they remain in the top four positions. Lazio is still vibrant in the Europa League since they have a better performance there, they will apply more of their energy in the Europa League matches which will distract them from the league games, so it means that they can't do better than Juventus in the Serie A. Juventus has made improvements in the Serie A after they got many draws in their matches towards the start of the season, but they are better now and if they maintain their performance for a long time they will surely finish in the top four and qualify for the Champions League next season.

Be careful to bet on every Milan match. Their performance is unstable which can destroy your bet slip.

The match has started now and I think a draw is still possible. Bologna can always take the opportunity to hold a draw at home. We see now how Milan is having difficulty scoring and Bologna seems to be more focused on their defense. It is now entering the 26th minute but the result is still 0-0 and Milan has only been able to apply pressure 2x. I am more confident with a draw.

It will not be easy for juventus  to stay in the top four  of the points table. If Juventus wants to qualify for the Champions League, they must be consistent in their performance. It is not possible to stay in  the top four of the table if they perform irregularly and weakly. Because Lazio is only 2 points behind Juventus. If Juventus' performance is irregular , Lazio will occupy the fourth place in the table.

However, the important thing is that in the last few matches we have seen good performance from Juventus' players. Juventus' match strategy has changd. And the team is playing quite well. Juventus has won the last four matches of Serie A consecutively.

We have seen improvement in the performance of Juventus' atacking players. At the same time, the Juventus coach has changed his match strategy. Overall , Juventus' overall gameplay is now strong . So it can be expected that we will see Juventus  in the top four of the table.

Why wouldn't it be easy for juventus to remain at the top 4 in their league table at the end of the season? You should ask about how many games they have lost this season? Their performance isn't totally a bad one since the beginning of the season, to me its has been fair despite them having quite a higher number of draws than they've won and Juventus in this season has lost only one game out of 26 games  played, whereas other teams has lost at least 3 of their matches.

The match between AC Milan and Bologna which took place at the Renato Dall'Ara stadium has just started and has now entered the 32nd minute. Of course in this match AC Milan is the most favored team to be able to win, but Bologna who in this match appeared as the host, they will not just give 3 points to AC Milan. Playing as the host, the Bologna players appeared with full confidence, and so far Bologna has dominated the game, but it is very unfortunate that they have not been able to build an effective attack to be able to break through the goal of AC Milan.

At this time both teams are still playing with great caution, so the temporary score is still 0-0. And maybe the intensity of the match will increase after the change of rounds.

Judging from H2H, AC Milan is indeed more favored, but the current conditions are different, both teams display balanced strength so it feels fair if the final result of this match is a draw.
Well, the first half is over, the temporary score is 0-1 for Milan's advantage, Leao is the player who brought Milan's advantage for the time being, hopefully Bologna will increase the aggressiveness of their attacks in the second half so they can score goals too, no need for many, one goal is enough to secure my bet.

Yes, according to their H2H statistics, Milan won two out of their last five games against each others, one of the wins was away from home while the second one is at Milan stadium. The other three matches including their last encounter were drawn which is why many people are predicting a draw as the outcome of this current match especially as both of them have same points and for the fact that Milan didn’t win them at home, taking away victory will be hard for them according to many people’s predictions.

However, Milan had taken the lead two minutes beginning the end of the first half, this had given them strength to fight for at least a draw in the match or to even win the game if they will be able to add more goal before Bologna make response because Bologna is putting the effort to level up as quick as possible.

I hope Milan will maintain this lead so as to increase their chance of making it to the top four early before the end of the season.
