Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[reefsea]

Yes, Spalletti failed with the Italian national team after leaving Napoli, he was one step away from not making it to the World Cup (Italian fans would probably go crazy from missing out on another World Cup) and there was also a failure at the European Championship. It seems that Napoli was his peak. As for Conte, in my opinion, he shows results higher than expected and if he progresses, Napoli will have a chance for another title.

Being a national team coach is harder because they are rarely together and only at certain times they can gather. Even though they can choose any player they want, the lack of time together is still an obstacle.

Spalletti's decision to choose Italy over Napoli I must admit was a brave decision and also full of risk. Because he left when he successfully brought Napoli to become champions. But that was his decision and it was indeed one of his wishes even though it did not go as he wanted.

Atalanta is currently leading Bologna with two goals in Gewiss stadium. The two goals was scored in the second half with an early goal by Retegui on the third minutes of the game. Bologna is still struggling to break the deadlock but Atalanta isn't given them that space. Bologna has been very consistent recently, and I expect an equalizer in this match because they're dominating the second half.

Atalanta 2-0. Bologna.

[SilverCryptoBullet]

The match was a little easier because Inter Milan dominated every match and it didn't take long for Inter Milan to get their first goal through Arnautovic, after that it was Martinez and Bisseck's turn so that Inter managed to secure three points in the match and this victory makes them even more likely to achieve the Scudetto this season in the remaining matches.

Inter Milan are strongest team in Serie A this season but they don't win Scudetto after this week. Matches in Champions League are risky factors for Inter Milan as they can lose best concentration for matches in Serie A while Napoli don't give up in Scudetto race at this moment.

Napoli will face Empoli in the next two days so they must secure full points in order to close the gap in points from Inter Milan and if they fail then it is almost certain that Napoli will have difficulty competing for the title with Inter Milan in the remaining matches.

Napoli have only Serie A to fight for Scudetto title and they will try as best as they can in last seven matches and hope that Inter Milan will lose enough points for Napoli to catch up or pass through Inter Milan and take Scudetto. Chance is not too good for Napoli but after many months of fighting hard, they have no reason to give up now when the league is coming to the end.

Atalanta is currently leading Bologna with two goals in Gewiss stadium. The two goals was scored in the second half with an early goal by Retegui on the third minutes of the game. Bologna is still struggling to break the deadlock but Atalanta isn't given them that space. Bologna has been very consistent recently, and I expect an equalizer in this match because they're dominating the second half.

Atalanta 2-0. Bologna.

It is a big match for both Atalanta and Bologna because Atalanta need a win to get a third position back from Juventus and avoid falling out top four after many months fighting for Scudetto. Bologna don't want to lose a fourth position to Atalanta or Juventus and they have more risk from Lazio. Today, there is another big direct match between Lazio and Roma, and if Lazio win, they will have more points than Bologna and this means Bologna will fall from fourth to sixth position in Serie A.

With the temporary result like this, Bologna will likely fail in this match and it's good news for Lazio and Roma.

Even though Atalanta lead by two goals, they're not exactly satisfied that the three points is in the bag because things could turn around if they relax and with how Bologna is pressing on them too it's necessary not to pause as their visitors were very difficult to shake off when they played Napoli, ending the game in a draw so I feel Atalanta need to guard this win with all their power. They've not been impressive of late and a win here against Bologna will ensure they get back to third spot.

Inter won comfortably and beat Cagliari 3-1.
They are currently leading the league with a 6 point difference.

It's easy game for Intermilan, and the result was satisfied me. They're good overall, though a bit disjoined in the second half, but they can sort it out and finished the game properly. Hats off for Correa. He's anywhere, and never feel tired to chase the ball. It's a confident win, and have nothing to complaint with.
I only hope napoli drop points asap. So i can celebrate inter's scudetto asap.

AC Milan big victory against Udinese was necessary. They need to gather enough rounding to ensure they're sealing up three points. AC Milan are not complex when it comes to winning games this season. The Rissoneri is becoming incompetent to handle tough matches but they're not giving up, rather they're gigging up for top matches upfront. AC Milan is not been straight and competitive to enter in the UEFA Champions League, it's been a rough run for them but managed to get themselves back on track.

True, it is an important win for AC Milan. They need to keep winning the match if they want to finish in the top 5 or top 6. Although AC Milan looks impossible to finish in UCL zone, they can try to finish in Europa League or Europa Conference League zone. AC Milan needs an international competition to improve their performance and financial.

Well, AC Milan looks like to never give up. Winning the remaining matches is a must if they want to finish in the best position. I am sure that AC Milan can be in the top 6 at least if they keep winning the next matches.

AC Milan has collected only 51 points in 32 matches and because of these 51 points, AC Milan is now in ninth place in the points table. That is, there are eight more teams ahead of AC Milan, now even if they try to perform well from this position, AC Milan may not be able to go to a very good position until the end of the season. However, Milan should try to perform well so that at least in the remaining matches they get good results, depending on which results they can be in number one to four in the points table. If their point table situation does not change much, then they will have to play in the Italian league next season, which does not really suit them.

Source: Juventus climb up to THIRD as the Serie A race gets spicier by the week

Whichever way the game goes between Atalanta and Bologna, I don’t think Juve really has the chance or capacity to secure a Top 4 spot, especially given how inconsistent they’ve been for a while now. They still have tough games against both Bologna and Lazio before the season ends and these are two very solid teams.

If Bologna loses to Atalanta, all their focus will shift to beating Juve and grabbing those 3 points

You can't totally disqualify Juventus from the top four race because even Atlanta too has been inconsistent for a while now. Atlanta lost three consecutive games in the league just before this win against Bologna today. If Atlanta had been winning there was no way Juventus would have pushed them down yesterday to fourth, although they responded positively today with a win to reclaim the third spot from Juventus. The point difference between these teams isn't much and I say the top four spot is still open to these teams until the last day of the league.

And, what makes you sure they could beat Juventus?
They could lose and that would cement Juve's claims for the 4th spot!

They need 6 points over Bologna, assuming Lazio doesn't win, 6 extra points in just 6 matches left, and all the while Fiorentina and Roma not winning more than them too.
Neah, people are just overreacting from that victory over Udinese, remember that Milan beat Real and Inter and we all know how that turned out down the road.

Of course, Atalanta hasn't been consistent and they have also declined in form which has affect the outcome of their previous matches. However, they were able to humble Bologna today by ending the game with 2-0 victory on clean sheet. I am quite surprised to see that Bologna couldn't penetrate Atalanta strong defense despite several attempts.

I know that Atalanta will use the strategy that will make them to win this game today, because they have loss two games that made their points to dropped and is not making their coach to be happy with the players. Bologna will surely create a positive chance that will make them to score goal in this game, but Atlanta will win this game with 3 goals.

No matter what Bologna will play in the second half, I don't think it will allow them to equalize the goals because Atalanta defense is stronger than before, which it will be hard for Bologna strikers to see such opportunity to equalize the goals before the end of the game.

The match between Lazio and Roma is coming up today, and from the look of things, the match will be an interesting and tough one because both teams seem to be on the same level of performance. So, this kind of match is always hard to predict the outcome of. But based on head-to-head, if I may say, I would say that Lazio should be the favorite team to win the match because it is their home game. From the statistics of head-to-head, it shows that whenever Lazio is playing at home, they always win or draw. So, we should be expecting a win or draw from Lazio. However, it is also possible that Roma could win the match, as Lazio is having a Europa League match on Thursday, and that can make them bench some of their key players. The match is very important to them, and they need to get prepared for the match against Bodo/Glimt because Bodo/Glimt won their first leg by 2 goals, and Lazio needs to beat them if they want to qualify. But let's see, maybe Lazio will not bench any of their key players.

[coinlocket$]

Big win for Juventus yesterday evening even if the risked many times the draw from Lecce.
The only thing that matters are the 3 points.

Atalanta also won today against Bologna, this is a very important result for the high part of the leader board cause bot teams are close to the Champions league zone.

They seriously needed that win to actually move into the top four with the game between other two opponents which is Atlanta and Bologna, a draw in the game would have been better for Juventus but it would have been better that Bologna won so that the Juventus can be closer to the top three. I think it will be a great ending to the season with almost four clubs competing for the remaining two positions in the top four.

I had thought before that Seria A will once again get the an extra spot for the next season champions league but with one already confirmed for the English Premier League I don’t think they will get it again because should Real Madrid win against arsenal there is possibility it is going to the Spanish league. This means more competition for the top four in Seria A

I'd rather pick Roma to win instead of Lazio. Lazio is not good at this moment, and very shaky in their defence. It's totally difference with Roma, which is getting even better after Ranieri took the lead. Don't forget to take a look at the odds, the gap is clear.

I feel it's not easy to predict the result, but Roma have greater chance to win. It's clearly both clubs will score, and may end with narrow score. My choice is BTTS, total over two. The odds might not decent, but pretty good enough to give me some profit.

It was too easy for Inter against Cagliari just as expected.    Now the pressure is on Napoli. They are going to play tomorrow though. I assume they wouldn't lose points home against Empoli.

While Inter are competing in the Champions League as well, this is like Napoli's only hope to catch up. If Inter eliminate Bayern Munich, their Champions League journey will continue among some tough remaining Serie A games as well. But still believing in them for a back-to-back title...

I know that I expected a lot from Bologna. At least for them to get a goal but never think you can get something from points hungry Atalanta and they showed it today.
 For so long, Atalanta have been frustrated by the lack of results they've been getting so today they came all out to show Bologna that they may not be second placed but they can show better strength than Napoli and I feel that Bologna also felt that since Lazio beat Atalanta, that they too could do it but how they were disappointed.

Two win in last three games in Serie A matches since appointed by new manager Igor Tudor make Juventus improving significant their current standings and back to the top fourth position. Juventus must win for every matches left if won't loss opportunity get UEFA Champion League spot standings because the outside of 5th standings teams have fewest difference points. Juventus have two points left from Atalanta at 3rd position and Bologna keep pressure at 4th position with 2 points remaining.

I had thought before that Seria A will once again get the an extra spot for the next season champions league but with one already confirmed for the English Premier League I don’t think they will get it again because should Real Madrid win against arsenal there is possibility it is going to the Spanish league.

Inter Milan's victory over Bayern Munich at Champion League first leg quarter final match I think have chance for Serie A keep defend five teams will participants in Champion League next season. But premier league have been confirmed get extra slot participants teams still waiting from UEFA official announcement which one league will get cut off slot for Champion League next season. I don't think Serie A will loss extra slot for next season after Inter Milan beating Bayern Munich and bigger opportunity if qualify to semifinal round.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Truly they have been showing some brilliant performance lately and I believe they are definitely going to make even more wonderful performance if they continue like this, even their champions league performance isn't left behind and yes they are very likely to be seen at the semi-finals ad maybe finals again like they did two seasons ago.  In the serie A, they are most likely going to win the title this season , they are at the top of the table already and have in the past five games been doing so fine that they are most definitely not going to even have to allow the title be won by another team this season, if they win this season, it will be two times in a row they have won it recently.

I have been seeing that there are many followers and fans of Atalanta and Napoli, but honestly the way Inter is doing is something spectacular, a team that has been disappointing me step by step has been Juve, I don't know what problems they have, I don't know what's wrong with them, after having had a big ban some time ago because they only competed for one season in Serie A, then they came back and qualified for UCL, since then I have seen that the level has dropped, I see Roma with a lot of hope, despite the fact that they are not in a very privileged place.

Lazio 1 Vs AS Roma 0
AS Roma has maintained a very good winning streak prior to this very game, they hit a solid form in their last 7 - 8 games in the league and won all of them, before that streak Roma was in a bad position and needed lots of wins at that time to come up and since they ranked 21+ points in their last seven games to be where they are now. I know they were hoping to get get to the UEFA qualification zone and I'm sure they will definitely qualify for one of the UEFA competition next season. Yes they are losing right now but I'm sure they won't give up in this match.

[l99l]

Atalanta ended their three-game losing streak in the league today. There is intense competition for European cups in the upper ranks of the league.
The match was generally competitive, Atalanta's offensive activities brought Atalanta the result and the victory. Atalanta found morale with this victory, they had a long losing streak.
