Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[ShowOff]

Inter don't have a very big gap in the standings... Don't forget that Napoli and Atalanta have no matches in the UCL... It's a very big pressure for Inter if they want to beat Bayern or get to the UCL final... But if they make a mistake, Napoli or Atalanta will definitely take that chance to take the lead... It seems to me that in Serie A it is not yet certain who can become the leader...

It is not certain but now Inter Milan are very much favored to win the Scudetto this season after they managed to beat Atalanta last weekend and that also proves that Inter Milan's quality is much better.
Regarding Napoli and Atalanta's undivided focus because both teams are not playing in the Champions League, I think it cannot be used as an excuse because Napoli's performance is quite bad now even though they are only focused on Serie A so it cannot be used as an excuse for big teams to share focus to win several titles.

Inter have a Serie A game against Udinese soon, then a Cup match against Milan, then an easy away game against Parma and then a UCL match against Bayern... Napoli don't have such a heavy pressure and they're not too far behind Inter in the standings... By the way I wouldn't say Napoli are playing badly right now... Just one mistake of Inter can equalise the chances of leading Napoli...

Although Napoli have not played badly this season, in my opinion they seem to have failed to take advantage of the momentum, because in reality since the beginning of the season they have only focused on domestic competitions, they should be the ones currently leading the standings. Apart from the tough opponents that Inter Milan will face in the next match, this also does not necessarily provide direct benefits for Napoli, because they may also make mistakes.

Inter Milan will face Udinese next week and Parma after that, while Napoli will face AC Milan and Bologna. Therefore, I think Napoli journey will be a little steeper, Conte must also be aware of the pressure that Atalanta continues to give. However, in general, Napoli performance this season is much better than last season.

I'd like to call this as the rise of Como. This is their first season at serie a, but they looked like have stayed for years at serie a. They rarely lost against the big club, and far away from the relegation zone. I really appreciate how Fabregas totally transformed this club.

He helped this club to go up from the lower league and finally reached serie, and stay for another season. His team is really underrated team now. I can't even imagine if Como's owner give him huge sum of money to buy the new players.

Como may be starting to cook next season.

I would be pretty sure that Como will also start spending more money at the start of the season to bring in more quality players. Of course, club owners will be more enthusiastic about funding their club after seeing how Como has developed this season. And it was unexpected that Como could survive very well in its first season in Serie A. And it is possible that in the next season Como will be a team that will no longer be underestimated.

Cesc Fàbregas seems to be a very reliable coach there. He makes Como's players perform at their best. Even though we know that the depth of Como's squad is not as good as that of other clubs in Serie A, we are certainly aware of how Como's playing pattern sometimes makes it difficult for big teams. Like the match against AC Milan last week. Como made more attacks. Unfortunately, Como doesn't have a really sharp striker who can take advantage of every opportunity well. Their attack pattern is good. Now it's just a matter of increasing the depth of the squad.

To ensure that they are not relegated, Como probably in my scenario, they only need a few more wins with the current points.
As a newly promoted club, Cesc Fabregas' statistics are quite good in Serie A. Compared to when he was in Serie B, this season Cesc Fabregas has done a great job.
60% in Serie B and only 23% in Serie A. If the club owner trusts this project to the former Arsenal mainstay by supporting enough money to buy players, then next season I believe that Como can be better than this season.

[letteredhub]

I also thought the same. Atalanta couldn't find the back of the net because Inter defense was very strong. However, after the first goal in the second half, that was when I started losing hope in Atalanta because Inter was able to spot out their weak points and took advantage of it. Currently, I don't think there's much hope for Atalanta to win Scudetto this season, because Inter wouldn't let that happen.

Will Atalanta win the Scudetto? Not at all; Inter Milan will not allow that to happen this season, and I am confident that Inter will do all it takes to win the league title again. I wasn't expecting Atalanta to do better against Inter Milan; just because Atalanta defeated Juventus 4-0 away doesn't mean they can win Inter Milan because Juventus has turned into an average club this season. I predicted that Inter was going to win, and the match turned out as expected.

Inter Milan are on a different form entirely, just watching how they humbled Atalanta who just trashed Juventus days before their game with inter. Though the title race is still open for the three sides who have relentless being on it this season except that Napoli has to drop points with Atalanta too in their next two games that's when we might actually give the trophy to the defending champions Inter Milan  but they have to continue winning their remaining games to maintain their 3 points lead on the top.

Udinese is not a weak team. This team often surprises everyone with good performances. And I have seen Udinese players perform well against big teams in several matches. Udinese managed to score 2 goals in the home match against Inter Milan. Although Udinese failed to win the match, Udinese's performance was still good.

Judging from the ranking, Udinese is indeed a middle club in Serie A. And even in the last 2 matches, the results were not so good, only 1 loss and draw. But before that, they were quite optimal.

But what makes it different is the fact that Udinese has made top clubs win matches several times, either making them draw or lose.

Some top clubs that have been made draws:
- Lazio
- Atalanta
- Napoli
However, Udinese lost to Inter Milan in the previous meeting. However, this time it is the same, Inter must remain careful and not underestimate this club.

Indeed, Inter Milan managed to move away from Napoli or lead by 3 points but don't forget Inter Milan have some important matches ahead such as the Champions League and the Copa so this will have an impact on their performance in Serie A well, this is an opportunity for Napoli to catch up or take over the top of the standings. The Serie A title race is still open for both teams and we can't confirm yet which team is truly safe, while Atalanta could be excluded from the race imo because their efforts do not come close to those of their competitors.

You make good point that Inter Milan has some tough games coming up in Champions League and Coppa Italia which could affect how well they do in Serie A. This gives Napoli chance to catch up or even move into first place. Competition for Serie A title is still very close between Inter Milan and Napol  and it is too soon to say which team is in lead. Atalanta on the other hand seems to be falling behind because they are not playing as well as Inter Milan and Napoli.

Cesc Fabregas is trying to do his best as a technical director. I also think that competing with big teams in Italy with Como in this new career will give him great technical experience. If he is at the helm again next year, he can be much more successful with Como. Because he will know the team well and the players' situation in the best way.

Serie A is one of biggest leagues in Europe and it is a league with tactical favorite and players, coaches can learn many things about tactics in Serie A. Cesc Fabregas already played for biggest clubs and in biggest leagues in his player career, worked with many world-class coaches too. This experience in Serie A with Como will help his coach career a lot in coming years. Spain recent years produces many great coaches, Xavi, Enrique, Pep, Xabi and perhaps we will see Cesc joining this list in next one or two more seasons.

He is in learning phase of his coach career but what he has done for Como in this season is impressive. Recall what Xabi did in his first season for Leverkusen, I see very bright future for Cesc as a head coach in next several years. He can continue his career in Serie A, or move to Bundesliga to replace Xabi Alonso in Leverkusen, or return to La Liga or Premier League.

Udinese is not a weak team. This team often surprises everyone with good performances. And I have seen Udinese players perform well against big teams in several matches. Udinese managed to score 2 goals in the home match against Inter Milan. Although Udinese failed to win the match, Udinese's performance was still good.

Inter Milan is currently 3 points ahead of Napoli. Inter Milan is in a somewhat safe zone. Even then, if they want to win the title, they have to play well consistently. There is no alternative. Inter Milan has a very busy schedule. So it will be difficult for Milan to continue its good performance.

Udinese is indeed a team that looks ordinary in Serie A, but strangely Udinese is always able to make it difficult for the big teams in Serie A. Even apart from Inter, several other big teams have difficulty when facing Udinese. For example, Lazio was held to a draw by Udinese, Atalanta was also held to a draw by Udinese, and so was a team like Napoli. So if you look at these results, Udinese is really a team that cannot be underestimated, because I am very sure that if Udinese had slightly larger finances and bought some defenders and forwards, I am sure Udinese would be an even greater team. Because right now, with financial limitations, Udinese has been able to compete quite well when playing against the big teams in Serie A. So Udinese is really a team that we should appreciate. And Inter must be very alert when they will play against Udinese.

In addition, Inter has indeed succeeded in becoming the leader of the standings after defeating Atalanta with a score of 0-2. But I think Inter's current position is still not safe at all. Because they only have a 3-point difference with Napoli, of course it is still easy to be shifted. So Inter should not feel calm yet, because I am sure Napoli will not let Inter stay at the top for too long. That is why the match against Udinese also getting 3 full points is a must for Inter. Because if Inter only gets a draw or loses, of course it will make their position shifted again by Napoli. So Inter really has to prepare a good strategy to face Udinese. Because Inter must not be made to have difficulties again.

yes indeed you are not wrong if you say that this is the day of Como's revival because Como always performs well even when playing against strong teams and lately even though Como always loses when playing against big teams but the scores produced are not far apart so it is not wrong if you say that this is the day of Como's revival and indeed I also really like Fabregas' role in coaching Como because he always coaches well and currently Como is ranked 13th in my opinion this is very good because a team that was just promoted to Serie A this season but has already been ranked 13th is a good thing.

yes of course in the next season I think there will be even better potential because Fabregas will definitely learn a lot from this season and certainly in the next season Fabregas will definitely fix everything and of course I am sure there will be potential for Como to buy new players because it would be a shame if Como did not bring in top players because Como's quality now shows that he has a good future in Serie A. I feel that if they bring in new and top players next season, of course Como will be even better and of course they could compete tightly for the championship title if Como can bring in top players next season....

Every young coach has to start somewhere and Cesc with his smartness shown as a player and his abundant experience as a player in many big clubs and his national team, have enough elements for becoming a great coach. He is in early years of his coach career but there are positive signals that he is going to succeed. Como has a big gift by having Cesc and if they stay with each other one more season, we will be able to assess Cesc management quality better.

yes of course in the next season I think there will be even better potential because Fabregas will definitely learn a lot from this season and certainly in the next season Fabregas will definitely fix everything and of course I am sure there will be potential for Como to buy new players because it would be a shame if Como did not bring in top players because Como's quality now shows that he has a good future in Serie A. I feel that if they bring in new and top players next season, of course Como will be even better and of course they could compete tightly for the championship title if Como can bring in top players next season....

A small club like Como will struggle in each season because their finance is small and weak, their player resource is unstable with many players come and go each season. Any new season will be big challenge for Como and Cesc will have big task of maintaining good performances for Como next season. He can build up Como similarly to Sassuolo several seasons ago.

I must admit that, Fàbregas is really doing a fantastic job with the Como team he's managing, someone who is just coaching in the Italian team for the first time and now see where he has taken the team to and even without the big name players, let alone when he's given the finances to buy players of his choice. I believe we may witness a situation where Como will be so fears as a team in the Italian Serie A race and even across Europe because Fab is a skilled player then, and implementing what he knows well in this his coaching career will be something that will be fantastic.

Fabregas and the whole society is doing a huge job that I honestly never expected, the fact that there is such a great enthusiasm in the environment Como makes it clear what kind of society is behind, unlike the others who are going a little bad, there are companies in Italy that are much more famous but that cannot have the same performance as Como which is great

Como is a team who get funded a lot of money, their market value change before get promoted to Serie A and now is 240%. They also sign many good players, instead of signing small teams players like Parma, or mediocre players from big teams in Serie A like Venezia.

Como choose to sign La Liga's players, as we can see they perform.

Serie A is less competitive compared to Premier League, La Liga and Bundesliga, I think the next teams who get promoted to Serie A should sign players from those leagues I mentioned before.

I would argue that the Bundesliga is more competitive than Serie A, and Como has competent management of the team and an excellent coach, I think Fabregas has a great career as a coach ahead of him, and now there are even rumors that City are thinking about firing Guardiola and taking Fabregas in his place, I am not ready to confirm that this is reliable information, but Fabregas with his work is already attracting the attention of more famous teams.

Napoli lost yet another chance to close up the gap from Inter Milan in the title race in the weekend. Recording a goaless draw on Sunday against Venezia threw away the opportunity to go 63 points which has given Inter Milan 3 points advantage in the race while Bologna’s victory over Lazio moves them to 4th place ahead of Juventus in the race for champions league qualification.

Napoli's performance has declined in its last few matches, making them increasingly behind Inter Milan in the fight for the Serie A title this season and if seen as a whole I think Napoli still can't be better than Inter Milan in terms of strength and consistency so it's not surprising if in the end Napoli loses in the competition.

For the competition, several teams are quite fierce to be able to finish in the top 4, even 4 to 5 teams still have the opportunity to finish in the top 4, especially several teams that cannot maintain their consistency, making the competition much fiercer.

If we look at Inter Milan increasingly consistent in maintaining their position at the top of the standings, wanting to leave Napoli far behind, the competition in the Italian Serie A is getting tighter in the fight for the championship this season. From the teams in the top 4, they will continue to beat each other with a small number of points, so whoever loses will shift position. Napoli, who have declined in their last few matches, are very afraid of being chased by Atalanta who are below them. With the consistency of all Serie A teams, it will be very exciting in the fight for the championship title in the remaining matches, even though the average team performance has started to decline.

How symbolic it is when Motta is overtaken in the table by his former team from which he left for Juventus. Bologna played a great match against Lazio, I didn't think that they would be able to make the match for a place in the top 4 so easy for themselves. And the latest defeats of Juventus show that they are not ready to be in the top 4, or maybe it would be even more correct to say that they do not deserve it. Let's see how strong Bologna is to stay in the Champions League zone.
