Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Leviaphan]

Yesterday I laughed for a long time after Milan lost to Verona. I did not expect such a shame from Milan. Bought football players, spent money, and the team can not show a normal game. It's a shame for this team.

Without a doubt Gattuso shouldn't have been give the opportunity to manage AC Milan albeit temporary he just keeps on losing, They should have just kept the former manager even though they spent all that money during the summer, they should have waited for the players to gel together before making that choice before replacing him with an even more incompetent Gattuso.

Sadly, AC Milan has been on a downward trajectory ever since the mid 2000s. It's unimaginable that teams like them and Liverpool are all fighting teeth and nail to survive mid-table mediocrity when they still conjure up amazing football every now and then. I suppose the writing has been on the wall for a very long time for such teams... steeped in tradition and history and refusing (or unable to) compete on the same level as money-rich clubs who buy success with ever ballooning price tags.

The appointment of Gattuso should have lent the team some steel, but I think AC Milan like Liverpool must now see that sentimental decisions don't necessarily translate into results. I fear that if Gerrard ever takes over the reins at the senior team, he might see it slip away the way Gattuso is seeing now. On the other hand, perhaps patience is what teams must also get used to. But when teams can disintegrate, along with the club's financial future, in one or two seasons, I think they have to do something drastic now. Gattuso has to go.

Even though they bought players, they didn't really get the best players that could move the team forward. With the exception of Bonucci. i don't think the other players that they brought have had any serious impact on the team, their performance has been sub par maybe they still need time but its a luxury that they can't afford at the moment.

I do not agree with you. I think Gattuso has a quality that is not less than the previous manager, but every manager must have different desires and strategies so that with AC Milan now Gattuso only continue AC Milan as it is. I hope AC Milan can defend Gattuso for next season so he can get the desired players to build AC Milan for the better.

Even though Gattuso's tenure as manager has been a very short one compared to Vincenzo Montella, it has been disastrous nonetheless, He was appointed after he managerial tenure sent a team to relegation in the Serie B. He is definitely not the right choice.

In my opinion it is not the fault of the administration, but the guilt of the Italian team sport director Massimiliano Mirabelli and managing director Marco Fassone
If Milan wants to return he will get rid of Bonucci
All the other defenders are changing but Bonocci is keeping on playing although all the goals are due to his disastrous mistakes
I do not know how long patience on Bonucci's previous match in the cup covered his mistakes Monilivo and saved more than 3 goals
In this match he did not find anyone to cover him
In his presence Milan without a heart defense and worse that all his balls of attack wrong

every new coach needs time but Gattuso had easy games and instead lost 3-0 against Verona (a humiliating result), he was the only one not to win against Benevento.
He lost against Rijeka in the Europa League (first defeat for AC Milan in the Europa League).e

Many players are playing at the minimum of their possibilities: Donnarumma,Musacchio,Bonucci, Biglia, Rodriguez, Calhanoglu, Kalinic, Andre Silva are good players, but they are not expressing their full value.

Indeed Milan has really spent on inferior players to me because they are not pulling at all as were expected of them. I know there are many things that come together to make a good team but some of these guys are just not worthy of the AC Milan shirt.

We are not entitled to blame the player against AC Milan's performance this season is bad. I am just grateful for the poor results of AC Milan in half this season because it means they can evaluate that good and expensive player are not necessarily able to lift the team's achievements.

Hellas Verona 3 - 0 Milan

What is going on with Milan? It's getting really difficult to find the answer to this question. I don't know if it is the manager, or the players, or a bad planification before the start of the season (you bring a lot of players, but as the season goes on, you realize that team doesn't have any wingers other than Suso and Bonaventura....what?)
AC Milan is dropping points against teams that are fighting in the relegation zone (first Benevento, and now Hellas Verona), that's beyond alarming.

Anyway, Juventus can climb up to 2nd position if they get a win against Bologna today. it's not going to be an easy match for Juventus but they'll get the 3 points. I'm going with Under 2.5 Goals @ 1.74

Atalanta vs Lazio

Should be a quality match. Lazio to Win @ 3.15 / Over 1.5 Goals @ 1.30

i think Ac milan management must replace coach, montela not enough
meet verona lost 3-0, is very bad performance, and not stable performance

But they already replaced the coach Vincenzo Montella  with their former star player Gennaro Gattuso and that was just a week or two agao and so there's no need to bash him yet, they will have to gradually change a lot of things as the new manager gets to build his own team in the future.

No coach in the world can not make a top club from Milan for several seasons. Players do not fit the level of this team. Need a lot of changes to the team to win.

ITALY: Coppa Italia :
Napoli will face Udinese , i think that Napoli will be the winner in this game due to their performance in their last games ,but Udinese made a big surprise when they win against Inter Milan 3-1 ! i think there are many goals in this game so i will bet for over 2.5 goals .

I prefer to bet on both team to score due to the fact that Napoli and Udinese are looks so productive this season even though Udinese isn't good at defence. They made a lot goals but conceded many goals as well.

I do not think the coach who is a problem for AC Milan made the achievement but I think that AC Milan should improve the way management staff work because I feel they are not preparing the goal of forming the current team. If they have a goal then they will prepare everything to achieve that goal.

here is the quarter-finals of the Italian Cup:

Lazio vs Fiorentina  December 26th
Ac Milan vs Inter    December 27th
Napoli vs Atalanta  January 2nd
Juventus vs Torino  January 3rd


4 interesting matches, especially the 2 derby Milan vs Inter and Juventus vs Torino!



I think there will be these 2 semi-finals:
Juventus vs Napoli
Lazio vs Ac Milan (at this point the Italian cup for AC Milan has become very important because this year the Serie A is already unfortunately compromised)

[siti25]

Change the coach but still, AC Milan is still the AC Milan. Indeed AC Milan is not a team like this, but they are collapsing and their collapse is relentless. Sacking and replacing it with a new, unacceptable name for Milan, Club legend, but the result is the same. There is no change in AC Milan.

Cagliari have only 3 over danger zone and they didn't get a single win in their last 4 matches they even lost in to a SerieB team in the cup competition even at home they are struggling after 3 games with no win to record while Fiorentina had a good month also they are in a good position sitting in 9th in the table with 23 points also only 4 points behind top 6 and they didn't suffer a loss in their previous 6 games and they showed good defensive performance in the keeping 3 clean sheets and only 4 goals conceded between them so I expect Fiorentina to win combined with under 3.5 goals.

[Granxis]

Chievo defeated Crotone in the away game. Bologna lost to Juventus at their home, Juventus played a very controlled game, and Bologna could not stand against their opponents. The choice of side seems risky in this vote, I expect a game less than 3 goals.

With under seven minutes played already, Bologna have taken the lead against Chievo Verona with Mattia Destro scoring the goal for Bologna. Since Bologna haven't lost to Chievo Verona in their last three games, I am sure with this early goal, that streak is going to continue.

Mattia Destro's last minute goal in the 90th minute was enough to give Bologna a last minute win after they were reduced to 10 men in the 81st minute and then Chievo Verona equalized in the 85th minute.

When in La Liga half the season closed with an El-Clasico match unlike in Italy which is closed with the Milan Derby match in the Italian Cup tournament. This match is interesting for us to discuss let alone AC Milan is looking for his best performance in this season with Gattuso. But, AC Milan will not be easy to get a victory in this fight because if we observe Inter Milan is much better than AC Milan in half this season.

[dali_masmoudi]

In this fixture I see that there is three easy home games for Lazio, Napoli, Udinese. I think that they will beat respectively Crotone, Sampadoria, Verona.
It is true that Sampadoria this season is on fire but Mister Sari (Napoli's coach) knows how to deal with this kind of situation.
But there is two hard games for milan's both teams, Inter and AC which will face respetively Sassulo (away) and Atalanta (home).
So bets are :
Lazio - Crotone : 1&NG&2+
Napoli - Sampadoria : 1&2+
Udinese - Verone : 1orNG
Sassulo - Inter : GG
AC Milan - Atalanta : X2
