Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

I hope they will fix this problem soon by buying a new center-back next transfer season

I agree if Milan has a problem in the defense line, especially in CB (center-back). They look rather weak in defense and attacking line as well. Not only missing strong defenders, Milan also too much depends on Ibra. So, when Ibra gets injured, they have no other option for a strong striker (CF). Besides need a strong CB, Milan also needs to buy a strong CF in the next transfer window.

I've been saying the same thing for months, Milan have to buy a new player in January. Ibra is injured again and it is not known how long he will be able to return to play, for this we need another quality striker. I don't think Milan can win the Serie A championship, but surely with a new player they can place themselves in the top 4 and go to the Champions League next year

Atalanta is just inconsistent and has internal problems with their coach with some players.
For now, we know he has big problems with Papu Gomez and someone else, and still, we have no info about Josip Iličić. What happened to him? No one knows.

Their coach is a s**thead, always said it.

It is a common problem for small clubs after one or two big successful seasons. Conflicts between coach and key players, between coach and club's board/ director, or a drain of key players from bigger clubs on the transfer market. Atalanta did well in 2 latest seasons but from all things happen this time, their rosy time won't last too long. They can improve and fix their internal problems but if they fail to fix such serious things, their rosy period comes to the end.

Papu were not a top player in Serie A before the appearance of Gasperini in Atalanta. I did not know Gasperini found a good system and helped Papu to show all of his best but maybe it is a mutual cooperation and growths for them and Atalanta. Papu is not young so if he want to go, Atalanta should let him go and keep the coach stay in their club, for their future growth.

the problem of Papu gomez is very simple, he wants to leave atalanta and probably go to Juventus. It is a very common thing, already done by Bernardeschi and Chiesa when they played at Fiorentina. It's normal, even playing well, Atalanta will never win a title and Gomez wants to win something. the same will happen with Immobile and Belotti

It is true that Papu Gomez wants a new challenge, because Papu Gomez has been in Atalanta since 2014. And haven't even tasted winning
the Serie A trophies, so that's why Papu Gomez definitely wants to move clubs. And when the match Juventus vs Atalanta accidentally Papu
Gomez was caught on camera chanting Juventus anthem "Juve storia di un grande amore". This may indicate Papu Gomez wants to join Juventus.

There is a milan that moves perfectly. He shows his quality once again with master names such as Milan Hakan Çalhanoğlu, who plays with his actors who are used to each other. Maybe Milan is going back to its old days, who knows? Champion candidate for me Milan

[acquafredda]

I think Pirlo might be the problem at this point because if he has not created some leadership already he never will. When a coach is no longer in control of what happens in the locker room that might be a problem.

You need to remember, In serie-A, Juventus also still unbeaten from the match day 1. I'm also not sure with Pirlo from the beginning, but as mentioned by @hd49728, Juventus is the only one with 10 goal concededd till week 12.

Parma has been a tough opponent for Juve, historically speaking. If they do not get three points there they can forget about serie A.

I think no, they still have a chance, because there still 25 match after vs Parma, Juventus still can take the lead from Milan or Inter. The points gap with Milan only 4 points. The competition more interesting now, because, Milan underpressure, and Pirlo now proofing of his capability as potential coach in the future.

Next match. Milan will face Sassuolo, one of team that become a night mare for Milan, I think in this match, Milan will be struggling to get 3 points. Inter face Spezia, maybe we will se Inter on capolista.

Data might be still good but I personally do not like his way of playing. I mean, as a player, Pirlo was terrific such a great footballer, lamost a magician. Being a leader in the locker room is a completely different story. I am open to be proven wrong though

One player that I didn't expect to come back was Ibrahimovic, I thought he would retire in the LA galaxy. But I was wrong, he is a great player and is able to bring shocking shocks to many people who sneer at him. And as an old player, he was able to be a good leader and give many lessons to young players where the AC Milan squad is now inhabited by young players, and this factor is also what makes AC Milan in the right position compared to the previous few seasons.

[dishku]

Sampdoria vs Crotone I would like to place my bet on BTTS on that match there is more high chance for both to score goals. Although Sampdoria has pretty high chance to get 3 points but it wouldn't be easy for them that's why I'm going with BTTS option.

[Ratash]

I think its time for fiorentina to win a game they haven't been able in their last 7 league matches and because of that they are 3 points away from relegation so i think they will win even if verona are on the seventh position.

Conflicts within the club are always bad. This may explain why the club plays well on the international stage - because the players want to show themselves well. But the atalanta's bench is not strong enough for the club to have an equivalent second squad, which will be able to play well in both tournaments. Without this, it is also difficult to count on great results.

Fiorentina haven't won a match in the league for two months. They played a hard game against Verona today and I think that they should be happy for not losing to them. Because Verona is not an easy team. They defeated Lazio in their away match last week. They were nearly beating the league leader Milan last month too.

Starting in 1 hour, Dybala has been not called for the game, officialy because he has a muscolar probelm. (Who know if there is something else... remember the rumor Pogba-Dybala?)

[ILuckyGuyI]

Juventus will play an away match against Parma tonight. Parma are one of the surprise teams in the league that can make big teams have difficulties while playing against them. For example, they got one point in their away matches against Milan and Inter this season. Juventus drew with Atalanta in their home match three days ago. They have a good performance lately and I think they will manage to win here against Parma.

They are current 2-0 against Juventus and that only shows the gap of performance against a top team against a team who is struggling to be relegated. If you look at the previous matches of Parma you won't see them beat out top teams in the table because they aren't that good to do so. They lost 3 goals against Roma and 2 goals against Napoli without even scoring a goal so I don't think top teams are having a tough time facing against Parma.

It is complicated right now for Dybala especially seeing Morata nice performance. I dunno but I feel he will not stay that longer in Juve.
BTW Juve is leading with 2 goals to 0 vs Parma in the first half and tied up with Inter temporarily.

[Slow death]

Juventus 4 - 0 Parma

it's a game where Juventus will clearly win, with cristiano ronaldo juventus Is an extremely strong and winning team. Unfortunately Milan will play with a very weak team so it is expected that Milan will win the game and continue to be the leader of Serie A. I am praying for Milan to lose, but it is impossible mission

Edit: the game ended and with two goals by cristiano ronaldo. now I'm rooting for Milan and Inter to lose

In the last 4 games Juventus improved a lot, if this is the real Juventus well there is nothing they can do to stop us. 

Finally the hand of Pirlo has started, good pressing, good offence. This is the right path.

Parma destroyed 0-4.

Parma is not a difficult opponent to beat, they have conceded many goals, it was normal for Juventus to win today, even with a heavy result like the 4-0.
Juventus must prove to be capable of winning with strong teams, in the last 4 games they have drawn with Atalanta and Benevento. in January he will have to play against Milan and Inter, there we will see if Pirlo has done a good job

Well, before Today only Napoli with Parma in their home.

But hey I'm not talking about the game itself but how the team is responding, after the game with Barca something has been changed.

Even last week with Atalanta and the 1-1 you could see the difference, in the last 3 years Juventus always got hard times with them while last week meh they could won easly if no mistakes were done in the last 10 metre.

It's not about the results but how the team is approching the game, something is changed in the last month.

Indeed, Parma did not prove to be a worthy opponent of Juventus in this match, although we will not forget how Parma played in the last round, taking points from Milan, which is leading in the championship. Cristiano Ronaldo scored his standard two goals and surprisingly did not resent the substitution at the end of the match and even smiled. None of the leaders yet looks invincible, so Juventus can take their place in the matches with Inter and Milan in January and become the leader of the championship.
