Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

Dang! this thread was buried all the way down to the 4th page lol

Anyone watching the Supercup final today? Juventus vs AC Milan.

There are some rumours going around saying that Higuain could miss the game today, some people are speculating that it is due to his inminent transfer to Chelsea...could be a big blow for Milan if he can't play today. Anyways, I think i'm going with +1.5 goals @1.33 and BTTS @2.10...not feeling confident about the latter but we'll see.

Higuain didn't make the starting XI but he's available on the substitution list, This should be an easy win for Juventus as the fielded a very strong lineup, I'd go for a over 0.5 goal in the first half @ 1.48.

It was a decent match but everyone including me knew with Ronaldo starting for Juventus, only they would win and he scored the only goal of the match. Those rumours were true as Higuain is set for a transfer to Chelsea, and he’s not committed to Milan and was brought in as a late sub but failed to do any impact. Also I feel Milan could have taken it till the end, but the red card for them swinged the game in Juventus favour.

Still a lot of unconfirmed news regarding this one and new sources are taking advantage of it as the rumors are still hot. That is why I don't look for news anymore in Google as I know most of them will be fake. I now only use Reddit as my news source as redditors right now know where to find the proper news sources in the forum, and as of right now no one is confirming about Higuain's situation nobody is even confirming that the medical for him happened so right now everything still is just a rumor.

That red card was a devastating for AC Milan, but I feel like they would've lost that game even with 11 man on the pitch. They never felt like a real threat to Juventus, they only had one shot on target throughout the whole game, lackluster performance from them.

Sure, there's no official announcement as of yet, but everything (from rumours to articles from reputable journalists) seem to indicate that Higuain will go to Chelsea in a matter of days. AC Milan is already looking for a new striker, Piatek from Genoa seems to be their main candidate right now

Juventus were able to maintain their unbeaten run in the current campaign, I doubt Napoli will ever catch up with them this season because the team looks really well organized. They won conveniently buy 3 - 0, And Ronaldo also failed to climb back as the outright leader on the top scorers chart by missing a penalty earlier in the second, he's currently tied with Quagliarella, Zapata on 14 goals, I'd still tip to win the award ahead both players anyways.

Juve are just too good for Serie A, it seems like they’ve been dominating forever. They actually got relegated for all the match fixing scandals but still come back & absolutely boss Serie A.
It really is up to the others to provide much for of a challenge - Inter, AC, Roma, Napoli - WHERE ARE YOU?

Threw 1BTC on Juventus ML 

Woaaah! That's insane man! I'm glad you won though. The old ladies barely disappoints but, I might have gone crazy on your behalf If you had shared this as a loss. Congratulations by the way.

Thanks! Had some bad losses from NCAAB so I'm very happy this YOLO worked out. A loss on that would have really hurt

I guess the other Italian Serie A teams might need to spend some money on the transfer market to sign some high quality players to play in their team if they wish to compete with Juventus, Cristiano Ronaldo is a player who is capable of scoring goals and creating scoring opportunities for his teammates, the offense of Juventus is pretty scary with him leading the front line. There is also Giorgio Chiellini who is doing a great job as the captain for Juventus, as it would be difficult for other teams to score against Juventus with Giorgio Chiellini leading the other defenders at the back.

I have been reading some rumors about Isco potential transfer to Juve if that will happen it will be even harder to  beat Juve
It is easy to say more active on transfer market when clubs  have no money
Piatek deal can be good move for Milan as he will make only 2 mln euro a year

Juventus has won the Italian Serie A for so many years now that Serie A is boring to watch. They say a joke about Juventus which I believe to have true origins.

A small boy goes to a shop and asks to buy a shirt of Juventus team, the seller replies, which shirt do you want, one of the players or the referee shirt.

I think that no matter what transfers other teams do it will not be enough to beat Juventus.

I mean, sure, there's no title race, but you'll always find some good ol' entertainment with the teams fighting from 3rd to 6th or position which are Champions League and Europa League spots. I think that's what "saves" the Serie A from being an absolute disaster, because the other league (Juve and Napoli are on a league of their own) is actually pretty competitive with the likes of Inter, Milan, Roma, Lazio, Atalanta, etc.

Batistuta (Batigol) was ‘THE MAN’.

I was young in the 90’s man but I remember seeing him banging the goals in, what a player. Would have loved to see him play for Liverpool. An old school type striker, awesome.

Right, I first heard of that name in the Korea/Japan 2002 Fifa world cup when he scored a goal for Argentina against Nigeria. I was born in the early 90s so I didn't know him that much until the 20s, but I had love a couple of players back then and Pavel Nedved was my favorite, I did like Jaap stam and Nesta too.

Back then, there were 3-4 teams that were competitive for the championship this is why there were so many skilled players. Now it is Juventus the strongest one and maybe one more team follows in the championship chasing. Serie A has become from a Top class championship a middle class one.

Hey those were the golden days of Italian league, those stars made the league competitive and fun to watch. If you see now we know season after season Juventus will turn up, and win the league there’s no competition from any team. I believe other clubs needs to invest heavily in their players, if they wish to give Juventus serious competition going ahead.

So Krzysztof Piatek have officially arrived in Milan and had his first pictures with the management. He is said to be Milan's replacement for Higuain which I don't see anywhere near him. Tired seeing A.C. Milan overpaying their transfers for players that can't be a superstar for the team. I just hope I am wrong eith Piatek and he turns out to be a good player.
