Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[coinlocket$]

They may be bad but they aren't the type of team to fall in Serie B again because the last time they got relegated is for their punishment for the Totonero 1980. And bro get real comparing the rest of the Serie B teams out there and even the top ones in Serie A the money that AC Milan has is completely different compared to the financial support on majority of the Italian football teams they have, the money alone can at least keep them afloat in Serie A, without that they can't make transfers, a new stadium, and coaching changes in this kind of season.

I don't think they will go in Serie B but they are risking it.
Keep in mind they probably will sell players on January.

They will still have good players to keep their position on Seria A but the talent on football is not everything if players will lose their psychological component the team will risk the fail.

A good start for Stefano Pioli. It's still very early to see its performance, the draw against Lecce is a good result for a while. It's just that AC Milan were unlucky at the time. They even controlled the match.

[Naida_BR]

Different results were obtained by the two teams from Milan in Serie A matchday 8. AC Milan drew against Lecce at the San Siro. They almost won and got 3 points but in injury time, Calderoni from Lecce score a goal to equalize the goal. while Inter Milan defeated Sassuolo and Lukaku scored 2 goals at Sassuolo

It was an easy win for Inter unexpectedly. Personally i thought that Inter would find difficulties as Sassuolo is always a considerable opponent at their home.
Milan once again have a bad performance and it seems like they won't be able to reach the European stages or at the best situation they are going to participate in Europa League.

Milan relies on a poor 12 season position for Milan and cannot be a giant team like before.

It's very difficult to come back again and be recognized as a big team like in the past. AC Milan has fallen too far even at the beginning of the competition they lost a lot of points and coupled with a change of coaches which means Milan is really not ready for this.

I believe there is still enough time for AC MILAN to rise up in greatness once again. It's when they are relegated to the Serie B or C is when I will believe that they have fallen too deep to even make a comeback like Nottingham Forest who were once European Champions and now playing in the Championship.

it seems my luck is not good, my two choice teams make me disappointed (Milan & Fiorentina) both (Milan VS Lecce & Fiorentina VS Brescia) end in a draw.

IMO.. it's not too late for AC Milan to improve their reputation, even though it ended in a draw with Lecce at home but I'm satisfied with Pioli's strategy.

Conte wants more!
He is trying to find the way to get this two players: Nemanja Matić (Serbian, MUTD) and Ivan Rakitić (Croatian, Barça), both 31 years old with a great football experience

Hmm, well, not bad 

Well it seems that Conte doesn't have a long term agenda if he wants these players who are almost past their prime, I will admit that they are great players in their respective positions  but they are not going to play at the peak for the next three years.

I like Conte. He just started but Inter-Milan is showing already good improvements. He seemed hungry and not contented on being just a second team after Juventus. That 2-1 lost to Barcelona without Lukaku showed he is on the right path. Losing at home to Juventus also showed there is still a lot of work to be done. Lukaku is back with his confidence. Ronaldo is ageing. Inter-Milan is in good hands with Conte.

One way for Milan to return to its former glory is a change in management and coach, this season is the worst, the season is the same if there is no change at all in the strategy, so that Milan will change the style of play as before? then what is relied on by AC Milan if the game still remains like this.

Then this is music to my ears, half of the fans are already calling a major rebuild for Elliot Management to do and with several managers AC Milan had in a short time frame then we all know its not the coaching part we are also missing, we lack quality players to be relevant in Serie A football again and this is one of the things that is pissing me in all the years I followed Milan as a fan. Honestly we hadn't had a good season after they sold Ibra, Thiago Silva, and Pato and I'm looking for the new owner to spend money in bringing in some of their replacements. If they have an overhaul of players as early as January then I think it's the time we will see some good development on the team.

Milan is really great team and if they fallen then surely this is going to be disaster for them they need to do some quick work as many fans already calling for change in management if they able to do then surely they have to do this in very quick time because if they fall more then its terrible for Club like AC Milan.

Elliot Management

They don't care about Milan, they are here only to make money with Milan at least is what some journalist is saying.
When in the future they will score a "+" on their bank account they will sell the team.

If that's true, Elliot management already makes a mistake. If they want to get profits from AC Milan, why they are just contacting low profile manager for AC Milan? As we know, Absence from European competition, out of the top 3 Serie-A will not making sponsor comes to AC Milan. Let's see, from Adidas to Puma. This is just an example, when Elliot will never get profits from AC Milan, if they won't bring quality players and quality manager. So, when they will get profit with current AC Milan conditions?

Sad news for CR7 fans, he will not play tomorrow with Lecce at 15.00 CET.

He will not only don't play, but he will also neither leave Turin for the match, he needs to rest.
This is the 1st match he will skip this year.

@coinlocket$ that’s not sad news for Juventus fans, as they’ll understand it’s smart tactics by the club to keep him fresh for the entire season. This tactic was used by Zidane to as he confirmed that Ronaldo cannot play each and every match each season, the more rest he gets the sharper he becomes during the season. It’s pertinent to note that Juventus are up against Lecce who’re sitting at 17th in the table, hence I believe Juventus can easily beat them in the absence of Ronaldo.

Lecce vs Juventus
Even Ronaldo not on the line up, with current Juventus players, it's still more than enough to beat Lecce. 0 - 1 I think very possible for this match.

Roma vs AC Milan
Pioli must give good formation and players on line ups. Winning match vs Roma I think it's good for morality of AC Milan players. If Roma still under performs, AC Milan can take a chance to get 3 points.

Roma vs Milan this match will play at the Stadio Olimpico Roma will be the host, Paulo Fonseca will give a good strategy and the right formation so that when playing a good performance though Milan will try as much as possible but Roma will try as much as better in the match day this,

Prediction 2-0 - Roma

I don't think that Milan osu going to have chances on winning this game but I think that they are going to score one goal. Maybe a score of 2-1 or 3-1 is my preference.

[Rozita]

Lecce - Juventus
Lecce has won only 2 games in their eight games of Serie A. They have all of their home games. I don't think they are able to not loss to a team which has 22 points from 8 games.
I bet on Inter Milan and over 2.5.
The odds for Inter Milan is 1.40. It's great.

[big_daddy]

I’m also giving a big advantage to Roma today, will bet Roma to win and Internazionale to win in a double ticket

The game has running for 19 minutes now and it seems lecce play well so far to defend and managed to do a quick counter attack , I would not underestimate a terrible team like lecce , as when they back up with their extra double motivation... they will ruin your day who picking juventus to win easily without consider any possibility that could happen unexpectedly, this is football .. thing could turned around in the blink of an eye.

Lecce handicap +1.5 is @ 2.1 ... fair enough, eventhough I really want to try the double chance for lecce or draw @3.4 , unrealistic statistically but hey let's do it anyway.
