Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[snipie]

Now that the Italy's Cup round is over I believe the upcoming serie A games are quite interesting. I'd concentrate on Atalanta - Lazio, Napoli - Parma, Sampdoria - Juventus and Roma - Verona for a betslip. I will be a contrarian thinker here, because to me Lazio is going to win away at Bergamo, they can do it. Napoli and Parma can be a game of at least 3 goals while Juventus will try to win again against Sampdoria. Last one is Roma to win easily against Verona. That's my bet this week.

Today Napoli will face Spezia in Coppa Italia. I expect Napoli to win although my confidence on them dropped dramatically..
For Serie A, we might see surprises in Atalanta - Lazio and Roma - Verona games. The other one have a clear favourite one imo.

I'm not very confident on Napoli's win in this match. But I think they can do this. Because Spezia are really an interesting team. Maybe they are not doing so good in the league but they are known by the surprise wins they got. Besides, Spezia defeated Napoli 2-1 away in a league match this season. Napoli might get their revenge this time.

Sorry to ruin your glory, but Napoli is already winning the game (Koulibaly scored after only 5 minutes). Beautiful goal, by the way, as one would never expect a defender scoring with the heel.
Another goal from the guys in the blue jersey and I will win my bet.

You said 1 moar goal? The guys on Napoli is taking it very seriously blasting poor Spezia with 3 goals (to 0) in just 30 minutes! Wake me up when the 5th goal will be scored

I put my bet on Spezia. In Coppa Italia, Spezia was able to beat a strong team like Roma 3-0 in the previous match. I think they can beat Napoli easily if their player try their best

I was also sure about Spezia as Napoli is very unpredictable team but today they started in very attacking mood just 30 minutes leading by 3 - 0 which is not good for Specia because their confidence is high but in today match they are completely outclassed by Napoli even still very long way to go but they have no chance for fight back in this game.

Edit: 40 minutes and now leading by 4 - 0

I'm thankful to Napoli for delivering more than two goals for me. Since Napoli is such an unpredictable team and the fact that they lost during the weekend to Verona, I wasn't expecting them to put up this kind of performance. Looks like Gattuso has realized that he doesn't have to win seria A title, just need to win the Coppa italia again for the second time in a row.

We could see a repeat of what Napoli did to Fiorentina ~ 6 - 0. It's just half time.

Napoli played great. They scored 4 goals in the first half. The first half was very breathtaking. Spezia scored two goals in the second half but it was no longer possible for them to win the match.
Napoli will face Atalanta in the semi-finals. Atlanta is a very good team. Hopefully, the match will be very competitive

The team is just very fickle: IMHO the play, together with Atalanta, the nicest football in Serie A. Problem is that they can't keep up with concentration especially during those which are considered easy games. Yesterday many got deceived into believieng that it could have been one of those occasions in which Napoli usually underperform: it wasn't the case and they basically destroyed Spezia with 4 missiles in a row.
Napoli surely can go after Coppa Italia again this year. It would be nice to see another Juventus-Napoli final.

I really enjoyed watching Napoli when they beat Spezia in the Coppa Italia, in terms of quality Napoli is better than Spezia.So it's no surprise that
Napoli managed to win, which I am happy about from Napoli since the game started Napoli immediately attacked. Napoli managed to enter a goal
in the 5th minute and finally the first half Napoli managed to score 4 goals. So Napoli conceded 2 goals by Spezia, because Napoli lowered
the tempo of the game in the second half. Maybe because they are sure will winning the game by scoring 4 goals in the first half.

The Coppa Italia semi-final is indeed interesting with Atalanta going to face Napoli, then Inter Milan to face Juventus. I am sure that these two
Coppa Italia semi-final matches will provide a very interesting and competitive match. My prediction is that Napoli will be defeated by Atalanta,
given that Napoli have played very inconsistently in the last few matches. Like when Napoli was defeated by Verona. Then Inter vs Juventus is
likely to be won by Juventus. So in my opinion, the one who will enter the Coppa Italia final is Atalanta vs Juventus. To win the Coppa Italia
Juventus is more worthy in my opinion.

Napoli had a great performance and defeated Spezia 4-2. They were already 4-0 ahead at the end of the first half. They didn't try hard in the second half and Spezia benefited from the situation by scoring 2 goals. But Napoli didn't have much problem on securing their win and eliminating them.

ye i see the goal... very funny match!
honor to Spezia, but they cant win.. they fight and lost a game (its ok)

the game that Napoli plays is very funny - it is worth the price of the ticket paid

Today Torino and Fiorentina will play in Olimpico Stadium. Torino couldn't win in their last 5 games but they got 4 draw. They only lost against AC Milan.
Fiorentina got destroyed by Napoli two weeks ago but they recovered fast and managed to beat Crotone at home.
Both teams have good scoring weapons, Torino have Belotti and Fiorentina have Vlahovic. We may see a draw with both teams to score. I guess that's a reasonable bet to play considering risks and odds.

Torino ? - ? Fiorentina

Florentina kicks off game week 20 of the serie a today; They bounced back ffrom the Napoli drubbing with a win over Crotone and they will be looking on to get another win. Torino meanwhile will want to get a win and escape the relegation slots. I suspect Florentina to send Torino into the deep relegation battles.

[acquafredda]

Despite a great win in Coppa Italia, Gattuso and De Laurentiis are having a very hard time together. Rumors want Gattuso to be sacked at the first possible occasion and in fact, coach Rino yesterday unloaded his anger at the end of game press conference. Napoli's president is known to be a difficult one but I hope Gattuso will prove him that he deserves to remain Napoli's coach.

Yeah, Napoli's president is considering to sack Gattuso after Juve or Verona defeats, forgot exactly which one. Well Napoli isn't consistent but when it win it scores big. Anyway, I prefer to give old players a chance in Serie A to prove themselves.

Fiorentina are going to play an away game against Torino tonight. Fiorentina are the 12th with 21 points and Torino are the 17th with 14 points. Fiorentina got 2 wins (2W 1D 2L) and Torino won only once (1W 3D 1L) in the last 5 games in the league. Torino haven't won a home game so far (5D 4L). Fiorentina won only once (1W 2D 6L) in away games. In the last 5 head-to-head games, Fiorentina won 3 times, Torino won once and one game ended in a draw. Despite having a bad season, I think Torino could get their first home win in this game.

If Napoli's president has already decided that for Gattuso is over, Rino needs to win basically every game from now on to prove him wrong. It is very likely that De Laurentiis already has another manager to replace Gattuso. He is very good at this, he did it many times with other managers so it would not be a big surprise.

I also think Atalanta could easily beat Napoli. The Napoli team has no continuity of thier performance. They play a great match againt a big team and then lose badly in the next match against an easy opponent. Atalanta is a very stable team compared to Napoli. I hope they will easily win this match.

Torino have not won their last 4 matches in Serie A and keep them in the relegation zone. Meanwhile, in my opinion, Fiorentina is much better because they managed to get at least 7 point from the last 5 matches. Fiorentina previously won Crotone 2-1 and I'm sure that will give them good motivation today.
If either of these two teams have to win, then I think it's Fiorentina.

[Bilgent]

We will see great draws like Inter-Juventus (February 2) and Napoli-Atalanta (February 3) in Coppa Italia. Each draw will include 2 games this time. My favorite for Inter-Juventus draw is Juventus. Inter eliminated Fiorentina and Milan. Juventus eliminated Genoa and Spal. I think Juventus will get an advantageous score in the first game and finish their job in their home game. My other favorite for Napoli-Atalanta is Napoli. Atalanta eliminated Cagliari and Lazio. Napoli eliminated Empoli and Spezia. I presume both games will be close ones. But Napoli are closer to making it to the final in my opinion.

Yes. Atalanta now has a better chance of beating Napoli. Atalanta has a lot of good players, even in substitutions. Gasperini has really picked well the players in the team. And very strong forwards.

The game so far has been very balanced. Each side could score a goal any time. To be honest, I would like to see Torino winning this game and getting a little away from the relegation zone. Belotti hasn't been scoring for 7 games in the league. I hope he finds his rhythm and helps his team to move up to better positions.

[boltz]

I'm with a draw aswell between Torino and Fiorentina as both teams are playing so bad this year as I simply cannot see one of them to avoid relegation. If I would have to chose one that would be Fiorentina just because it has some really experienced players that could make the difference when they take a player 1vs1 but besides this ...none of them are playing like a team so no wonder that 1st half ended 0-0.
