Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[coinlocket$]

Couldn't agree more.
Ibra would gain a bit ac milan merchandise sales too , not a bad transfer at all but yes you can't expect ibra himself lift ac milan to the title race lol.

Anyways... Arturo Vidal looks like would make a force move to inter milan , conte badly want him and Vidal himself pissed off by Barcelona.
Perfect transfer for inter milan? I guess so.

He seems to ask 8M/€ + Taxes.

For sure it is a good move for the if they will have him for this year but depending on the duration of his contract he will be a problem in the next market sessions.

The tax in spain are crazy .. cristiano is one of players that experienced that.
I heard that Italy much more friendly when it comes to tax. Is that true?

Vidal completely furious to Barcelona ...
He is continuously embarrassed Barcelona by saying the club haven't pay him the bonus of 2.5 million euro out of 4 million , he is clearly unhappy there.

I'm not sure even Ibra come back to San Siro will give any significant impact to AC Milan players, even many people say he will inspire young Ac Milan players, but it will not give any change to win a match if they doesn't have good strategy.

Maybe to raise the morale of the team and guide new players / young players owned by Milan Ibra can do it. However, to change the AC Milan game I think it will not happen in a short time like you said. They clearly need a fairly long process. Besides they also need to buy new players later and try to bring in a new coach in accordance with the club's own philosophy. If indeed Pioli failed to do his job

Zlatan has only been in the AC Milan contract for only one season. If Ibra still cannot provide the best direction for Milan then I think this is said to be a failure, even though the guidance is still no change, I believe this needs a total change from player to coach if you want milan to remain Up.

I don't see him as a main stay for the Club nor even some kind of quick fix for the team. He is 38 years old and he only scored a lot of goals because he is just playing in the MLS (no offense) and the level of competition is considerably different in European leagues more specifically in Serie A. In my opinion Milan only did this as a sign of hope or something that fans would appreciate like what they did to Kaka when they brought him back and fans really love it. It won't really be different for Zlatan as fans really loved him during those time. He is just here to cheer the crowd and not win some games. Hopefully in the next transfer window AC Milan will make some actual changes where the team could be relevant again this season.

And you should also take note that Bernard Arnault, owner of Louis Vuitton, is trying to acquire Milan and he is really aiming to give a big investment for the team, this is what will actually make some changes for the team.

They have a new law.

If an employer takes some employees from outside Italy and makes at least a 2-year contract, the taxes wanted are only on the 50% of the salary, it applies to players too. (They are privileged workers in the end)

Basically and with easy math, if a player comes from outside Italy for a 2+years contract with the salary equal to 10M, the team needs to pay "only" 12.5 with taxes (around 25% of salary in taxes before was almost taxes=salary)

This is huge.

Imagine if a team in Italy and one on in the rest of Europe can pay 40m/y to a player with taxes that's mean...

In Italy, a team can pay 32 to a player and 8 for taxes
In Spain, a team can pay 20 to a player and  20 for taxes

for a total of 40.


I described it in a very simplified way but in the end this a good aproximation of the math applied.

15.00, MILAN-SAMPDORIA (SKY)
20.45, NAPOLI-INTER (SKY)

Those two are my focus of the SerieA weekend

Milan is in a big crisis and playing home against Samp, should be an advantage, but I'm betting on a X2 on this match
Napoli, well Napoli is a tough nut to break, but Inter has to win this one if they really want the scudetto this year, so my prediction is a clean 2 on this match

sanchez will stay at the bench until it is necessary to put him in the line up as the lukaku and martinez duo are in the beast mode , it could affected the chemistry that both had currently, i won't surprised if alexis sanchez will become a super-sub in the next couple of matches.

the head to head show that lazio often gets draw in away matches but not this time , this season they are superb.
as roma vs torino , it seems as roma far more in better shape , it should be a clear win for as roma.

and everybody will pay attention on when ibrahimovic will make debut at milan, against sampdoria always become a tough match for ac milan even it is at home. statistically ac milan must win the match , they need to get up into a better position on the serie a table.

[coinlocket$]

Good news for Inter, (DAMN) Koulibaly needs to skip the match.
The odds for a win for Inter now are higher.

Inter Milan vs Napoli will be a lively contest as Inter Milan will keep attacking them, and Napoli will sit back and defend against their attacks. Also it’s good to know that Sanchez is back in action, and it’ll be very interesting to see how he performs after such a long break. @coinlocket$ without Koulibaly Napoli won’t be able to stop Inter Milan’s attack for long, and they’ll have to pray for a miracle if they wish to win this match.

I know this is a struggle for Inter Milan to win with Napoli on Tuesday playing away Inter Milan must prepare their mentality because Napoli when playing at home will be more aggressive, I do not know that Sanchez will play in the match against Napoli and I think Sanchez not like it used to be because it often causes injuries to decrease its performance.

Brescia have been struggling to gain points in order to climb up the table from the relegation zone, and Lazio are trying to gain more points in order to catch up with Juventus and Inter Milan. I think the best result for Brescia would be to force a draw against Lazio today but Brescia does not have a good defensive record this season, so I think Lazio will not give up this good opportunity to gain 3 points in this match today.

[notblox1]

I am picking away team win in Brescia vs. Lazio game today,
but it should be noted that best Seria A striker Immobile is questionable for Lazio today, as well as few other players.
Still, Lazio is in great form and with win here they can be closer to 1st place Inter/Juve
I do expect to see a lot of goals in this match

[Pmalek]

Napoli will sit back and defend against their attacks.

I don't think Napoli will ever sit back and defend against other teams. They are one of the rare Italian teams that don't play the 'Italian way'. Their goals scored/conceded ratio is proof of that. 27:22. They are out their to play. They have been in bad form in the first part of the season, lets see if Gennaro Gattuso can turn it around.

Still, Lazio is in great form and with win here they can be closer to 1st place Inter/Juve

I wouldn't consider the Pre-Christmas form as an important factor here. The Italian teams just had 2 weeks of holidays. Form isn't of the utmost importance in this round. Lets see who didn't put on any holiday weight.

brescia scored an early goal to surprise lazio ,
but it seems lazio found themselves lucky as brescia got a red card in the first half and lazio make the score 1-1 at the half time.

eventhough they are playing with 10 players brescia successfully make lazio struggle to score the second goal.
i just feel strange that lazio always able to scorea late goal and the referee seems in lazio side.
it was just my feeling but that is the truth.

the match ended 1-2 for lazio and they are on third , 3 points away from the 1st position.

That's the sad thing about Serie B teams being promoted in the Italian league they fail to keep up with the big money clubs even the mediocre ones in terms of spending that's why they fail to even keep up with Serie A teams. For you to see how bad the situation is the last successful team to be promoted from Serie B is Sassuolo and teams like SPAL, Empoli, and even Genoa fails to make a good impression in Serie A. Also from the trend I am seeing most of the star players they have are being sold after they are promoted that is why they cannot stay to be competitive in the league.

[notblox1]

Win for Lazio in last minutes of the match!
It was not easy at all, but Immobile did play and scored his 19th goal in Serie A.
Lazio is getting closer, and now pressure is on Inter and Juve

[coinlocket$]

This year is very strange here on Seria A.

Can Lazio fight till the end for the Scudetto? So far they seem to be able to do it.
Keep also in mind they have 1 less game, so they can earn more points.

But is only merit of Lazio or are they trying to keep the League fun?

Balotelli did a strange record on Serie A today.

He was the 1st player on scoring on '10 decade with Inter
He is the 1st players on scoring on '20 decade with Brascia

Maybe he is the only player on the history who can "celebrate" this statistic

thanks for bring some data here.
it was not an accusations at all right? just wondering why it seems everything in lazio favor 
whether it is just a coincidence or not , serie a have a dark history about the match fixing with its football mafia around.

so don't blame us who always feel curious about that hehe

balotelli be like -why always me?- lol
