Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Juggy777]

Bologna at home is a very strong team and they just showed it once again today by drawing with Milan, they drew with Inter Milan too and also beat Fiorentina at home, I am not 100% sure as I am not a big fan of Serie A but the team of Bologna has always caught my eye in the sense that they do show some pretty good football at home from time to time. I remember in 2017 losing the bet Bologna vs Napoli where Napoli was beaten 3-0.

The odd 2.03 was not attractive in my opinion but rather was let's say a "trap".

Luckily I only placed a small amount of money on the match between Bologna and AC Milan, I did not expect the match to end in a draw at full time, I guess I should take note on the odds payout that looks attractive for favorite teams in the future as it might be a trap to lure gamblers to place their bets on favorite teams to win.

Hey this time you got lucky but whenever you're betting on struggling teams, always make sure to see their past few matches records. I have often seen it some teams generally struggle, but when placed against a top team they tend to cause a upset. It seems you ignored the fact that Bologna is strong at home, and Milan is yet in transition it was a risky bet in my opinion hopefully you'll do better research for your next bet.

We have a clash of titans tomorrow in Serie A as Juventus will face Roma away from home. I think this is the crucial point in this league as a win from Juventus tomorrow will make sure the title will be for Juventus once again and this is not pretty. That is the reason I don't follow or watch Serie A , there is no real competition in this league like it is in the Premier League.

Yes the Italian league (Serie A) should be replaced by the Juventus league But I think it's still quite interesting for bet to get for that might be easy for those of you who have considered Juventus will always win the match. This time Juventus have odds 1.4 which in my opinion would be good if I got it for the Juventus win against Roma.

Maybe will be drawn at least
But score against Juve that is hard
But maybe Juve will like to give Christmas gift to Roma
That is only one we can count if to bet against Juve

But maybe Juve will like to give Christmas gift to Roma

No christmas present for Roma, they just lost against Juve 1-0 and are down a few positions on the league table if i'm not mistaken (they're now 10th). Juventus are unstoppable, I think it's fair to say that we won't have a title race this season.

There were also a few surprises today. AC Milan lost 0-1 against Fiorentina and they're now out of the top 4. And Inter couldn't do much against the worst team in the Serie A, Chievo, and the game ended 1-1, they're now 8 points behind Napoli.

Indeed Juventus look like champions already and by opening that massive nine point lead on top of the Serie A league log, and with the rest of the other teams performing averagely i agree with you that it's a one horse race now. Inter-Milan should have done better and Napoli seem to be out of steam so it looks like a forgone conclusion in Italy.

I don't think anyone had any doubts in their minds that Juventus wouldn't end up as champions, and at current pace it's a matter of few more matches before they're declared champions. I believe Ronaldo only strengthened an already strong Juventus, but winning this league is easy if they don't win champions league their season won't be counted as a success. It's also sad to see so many racist chants against players, I hope fans will stop these kind of chants going ahead.

[Pmalek]

Juventus can only lose the Scudetto this season, it is all in their hands. But I am worried about the condition of their midfield. I dont see a leader there. I dont see that one personality that will lead the team forward in times of need. They dont have that one player who can make the difference. Without a strong midfield there can not be any success in the Champions League. Emre Can hasn't yet integrated and more must be expected from him next season, Khedira has had his share of injuries recently and his form is very poor, Bentancur is young and still inexperienced for the big stages, too crazy with his tackles at times, Matuidi is good at pressing but has an awful first touch and the ball easily gets away from him. Pjanic drops back more and more to protect the defence and isn't that influential in attack.

The thing about Juventus is that they don't rely entirely on individual pieces, it's all about teamwork, and in that regard, they're ahead of the rest of the teams in the domestic league and probably on par with the top teams in Europe. About the Champions league, I think they have what it takes to reach the decisive stages of the tournament, like semi-finals, don't forget that they have Mr. Champions League, CR7, if things don't go as planned in a match, you can be sure that Cristiano will be appear out of nowhere to save the day.

You are right about teamwork and about passion and the desire to win but I am not sure that will be enough against the biggest in Europe. Even against Atletico Madrid it is going to be a very difficult match with very few chances.
Ronaldo played with Modric, Kroos and Isco at Real and every one of them are better than the Juve midfielders.

Been reading news regarding a potential swap between AC Milan's Gonzalo Higuain for Chelsea's Alvaro Morata. Things are heating up ever since Milan's sporting director is considering not to trigger the 36 Million Euro buy option for Higuain in his contract with Juventus because of his recent form. Chelsea is on the same page as Alvaro Morata is under-performing in England and is expected to be swap out for Higuain there are no official talks yet but during last year's transfer window Morata came close to signing with Milan but it fell through.

Higuain is better than Morata in my opinion but it will not change anything in Serie A even if the deal is concluded. Juventus was already dominating the Championship there during these last years and now that they got Cristiano added to their team chances for them to lose their domination is really slim.

Both Napoli,Roma and other contenders cannot compete with Juventus in Serie A and that is why this league has become boring to watch and also they are not performing well in Champions League either because of lack of competivity.

All of these can change next season with A.C. Milan as they are now owned by Elliot Advisors which is focused on bringing back Milan to its former glory again. Milan have a good roster to compete in Serie A but they are headed by the wrong manager under Gennaro Gattuso hopefully he gets sack by the end of this season and be replaced by a more experienced manager who can sign big names. Juventus is still the king in the league though but hopefully A.C. Milan can bring some big competition back to the league.

I've been hearing the same old story for a very long time, that some people will bring back Milan's old glory...but the truth is, no matter how much money they inject into the team, it's simply not enough. I think they need to start rebuilding the team from top to bottom, big changes need to be made starting from the chairman, board of directors, to the head coach, it's pretty clear that it's not just about spending tons of money and buying players all the time.

It seems like you have very little knowledge about the team that is why you have posted this. Ever since they have sacked Massimiliano Allegri in 2014 they never had a manager who lasted for two straight since until now, a total of 7 managers in a span of 4 years have managed A.C. Milan. Aside from that they have a new sporting director under Leonardo which is also a former player of A.C. Milan his plans and reputation in Brazil is great the only thing missing is money. Milan is not afraid of replacing who is needed to be replaced now that they are owned by Elliot Advisors everything can change, hopefully the ownership of Milan does not change for a while.

I think that any team what will be able to score goal against can get like 0.5 point
Juve is beyond competition
If we talk about AC Milan only famous name left
It takes time to build a great team even with very good money
I don't see anything can change for better in a near time
There is even hard for Milan to compete with Napoli and Inter
It looks like final standing will be  Juve Napoli Inter
Milan will fight for fourth place

The swap regarding these two has been going on for quiet a long time now, I feel it's a good decision if it were to happen. Alvaro has already played in Italian league and he was quite good there he'll help Ac Milan score many goals. As for Higuain he'll be happy to play in a new league, and with the players Chelsea have including Pulsic he shall definitely be a hit there. I hope Ac Milan invest in a new coach and makes sensible transfers, if they wish to compete going ahead.

AC Milan definitely needs a serious rebuilding and a world class manager because the Italian league is now all Juventus and there is the need for competition and there isn't a better team who could challenge the old ladies of Italy than AC Milan and they better back up and give the fans and the league what it deserves.

I agree with you that Juventus is dominating the Italian league and there is no competition from the other teams at all, they seem to be getting better by the day while the other teams are deteriorating, i hope it doesn't end up like the German Bundesliga some years ago. It will look bad for the once upon a time a fiercely contested league with all the great players of old.

@Pettuh4
The league will become competitive again once the other teams realise the benefit of owning your own Stadium brings to the club.
Since you mentioned the Bundesliga, it is a common practice that Bayern buys the best players even from their rival teams like Dortmund. But in Italy, Juve's rivals would rather sell players abroad (even with a loss) rather than sell to Juventus. Doing that they weaken the Italian league and make the foreign leagues stronger.
