Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Harkorede]

Juventus is training 1 day a week now, the following is a rare picture from their training session from the beach.

It's explainable. They have no such pressure for the match. Wind lose or draw does not matter. They already have the league title.

Meanwhile you'll have some people still gamble blindly regardless, I've been avoiding since I knew they've won the league already and there is no extra motivation for them to win games, perhaps the only thing they could play for would have been too help Ronaldo be the highest goalscorer in the league, that also seemed like a long shot since the last 2 - 3 games with Quagliarella leading the chart significantly and always  scoring.

Juventus will never hire Mourinho as he’s not the special one anymore, in today’s scenario he’s the general one who’s lost his Midas touch of winning trophies. Pochettino is also in the race as he’s looking for a fresh challenge, and I feel Juventus is the ideal club for him to build his credentials as a great manager. Sarri is being strongly tipped to take over Juventus head coach job, do you’ll feel he’s the right candidate for them?.

I think Sarri could be a really good choice. Napoli played some great football with Sarri. He was never able to win the title because of Juventus so he would be motivated to get some silverware in his career as well. He has the chance to win the Europe League now with Chelsea and after that I am sure he would be interested in some more. 

The only problem I see is that Juventus doesn't generally look for a manager who plays beautiful football but one who wins. That is the only thing that matters and that is the philosophy of the club. That is why most of the mentioned coaches aren't really in accordance with that philosophy but maybe times will change soon!

Sarri is one of the names of trainers who are also called strong candidates replacing Allegri. however, I think the style of play that Sarri applied to did not match the Juventus style of play. there is still plenty of time to determine who is the replacement for Allegri, and I think Juventus Management will do their best.

Still no new info about Guardiola, we have pseudo denials from an Italian member of the Manchester City Board of Directors, but the rumors about is are strange.

He is bound somehow to the Agnelli family so those denials seem to have 0 value also because they didn't happen through the official channel of the English club.

For sure if Juventus will not have him next year it will a huge disappointing for Juventus and any other coach will be the "not Guardiola mister"

How many times that news about Guardiola can be repeated
How many times he has to comment that
Better focus on last games very boring and sometimes very interesting league rival
Milan to win Spal is not playing well at home and no motivation
Atalanta to win or maybe drawn his rival is able to surprise
Inter will have hardest task .Empoli won his last three games and wants avoid relegation
As we know there is no favs in Serie A and everything can happen

Easy till he will sign with us!

Well for us, Juventus fans, the League is over 1 month ago we have nothing better to do .

Spal have a lot of motivations, you are wrong about it.

If Spal loses they will probably lose a lot of position on the leaderboard because a lot of teams can overtake them and this is very important since we have bonuses for placements.

I'm not so sure that Milan will have an easy task to win vs Spal.

But it could be worse.  Juve could end up with Mourinho.  Lololol.  

Seriously tho, I think it's hard for Pep to leave City just like that.  Think about it, City's backroom was gradually prepared for his arrival.  The hiring of Ferran Soriano as CEO, the arrival of Txiki Begiristain, both of which were instrumental for Pep's promotion to manage the first squad and his success at Barca.

Here is a bit of info before the Sampdoria - Juventus match tomorrow night.
Anyone thinking of betting on Juventus should read this, the probable starting lineup according to Allegri:

Tomorrow, Carlo Pinsoglio will be in goal. Caceres, Daniele Rugani, Chiellini, Mattia de Sciglio, Cuadrado, Emre Can, Bentancur, Pereira, Dybala and Kean will all play.

Ronaldo has not been called up and will be rested for International duty.

Guardiola seems to have 2 clauses on his contract, one linked to economic matters, the second in the case of bad faith of one of the two parties.

We are talking about using the second, why? Agnelli is the president of the ECA and the rumors say that he knows what will happen to the city with the sentence of FPP.

Juventus is playing away and it would be a risky bet against Sampdoria. actually this match has no table sense for both teams. total over 2.5 looks pretty well.

I thought the same thing, Pep Guardiola could not have been a Juventus coach because he was signed to Manchester City. Mourinho is one of the strongest candidates who are also very strong house preached by all sports media. Whoever will be the Juventus coach I will support him.

He either knows or it's a bluff.  I think it's a bluff.  Nobody knows what's gonna happen and this is what I think:  The whoever is not gonna find any FPP violation against City.

And Sarri just became favorite to become Juve's next manager.

But look at Poch and Mou...  I'd like to put some action on those if there was a BTC sports betting site taking them.

I'm registered on the Juventus "insiders" forum here you will find a lot of interesting things that you will never read on the media.

Sarri can be even the favorite for bookmakers but he is not the profile for Juventus, anything can happen but he is not the profile that Agnelli wants, also keep in mind a very important factor:

The odds you see on the bookmakers are regulated by them BUT a huge reason is the quantity of the bets on the bet TDLR if everyone is betting on Sarri cause (fake news according to insiders) the spam on media, the odds will go down.

We have a lot of information on that forum as happened at Ronaldo time, information that you will never see on social media.

Sarri is the main name now for media since he has no team for next year (Chelsea probably will not confirm him) but Guardiola seems to already have an agreement with Juventus.

TBH is more likely Klopp to Juve than Sarri Imho

looks like a spy story
in general, information from insiders is dangerous

if they are true, someone could get angry in my humble opinion

[buwaytress]

Liverpool fan chipping in here but I actualluly agree Klopp is likelier to go to Old Lady than Sarri is. I feel like I know Klopp and he is a great guy for the Reds. He has the fans on his side, the management and ownership on his side, and the players on his side. He will go far and he will take us far, but he will want to leave after making his mark. He's a straight up guy and he knows this too. For all the love shared now, things change in a heartbeat and he would love after Liverpool to take a different challenge.

Juventus might not have the same appeal as Dortmund or Liverpool though. They haven't been the underdogs for years and they have a philosophy they won't give up for gegenpress.

Yet he is still the likelier risk than Sarri. Sarri won't slink back to Serie A so soon, Juventus don't want him either so soon after his association with a rival.

Can't quite explain it but that's the science of likelihood. If that makes any sense!

I could use the same argument when Pep was a 1.55 favorite to get the Juventus job just a couple of days ago.  I mean if Pep and somebody from Juve really did talk, Pep must have rejected the terms.  And that's why we now have the current lines bookies are taking.

Klopp more likely than Sarri...?  Lol.  Don't know about that one.

Exactly bookmarks are nothing, the odds of one bet are influenced on the bets in the bet.

Yeap Klopp has 1 clause on his contract, Sarri is not the profile for a Juventus coach (everything can happen with Sarri but don't you think is a strange change from Allegri (still under contract till 2021) to Sarri? This make 0 sense if you think about it, why they pay 7.5 M/year to Allegri and 6/year to Sarri? Wasn't a better Idea to keep only Allegri since Sarri has 60 years on win nothing in his life?)

The Italian league final matches of the season are about to get underway, in about a minute.

It should be an interesting night as Atalanta, Inter, AC Milan and AS Roma are still all fighting for the final two spot for the Champions league.

There is also relegation Battle for the third team to join already relegated Chievo and Frosinone; Fiorentina, Udinese, Empoli and Genoa are teams looking to avoid getting relegated. A draw will ensure Fiorentina and Udinese safety, while Genoa must win and hope for Empoli to lose or draw.

I stayed away from tonight's matches to predict underdog upsets in the U20s (world youth cup, which, by the way has had plenty of upsets!). But man, I really should have bet against Juventus tonight. You know, outside of England, the big leagues champions have been having such a poor season, or should I say, the English champs have been other-worldly. Imagine Liverpool, second place and only losing once?

Since winning the league, Juventus, Barca and PSG have been bloody poor, but I think Juve takes the cake. If not for Moise Kean (I'd love to have him on my team any day), I'd almost say their next season is in jeopardy. Inter, AC, all coming back up.

Such missed opportunities betting against Juve this season, though!
