Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[SquirrelJulietGarden]

Indeed, their names are not as famous as Juve, Milan, Inter or Roma. But Atalanta are a good team, they don't have many stars but they can finish better than Juventus. Remember in 2019 Atalanta qualified for the UCL knockout stage. If I'm not mistaken at that time Atalanta only used players who, in total, equaled half of Ronaldo's salary. This is proof that Atalanta should not be underestimated, they are a strong team. I don't know for next season but buying new players is an option to strengthen.

Atalanta only were beaten by the very late goal from PSG and they almost won that match till very late minutes. It is the season Atalanta appeared in the Champions League and made big shocks but more surprisingly, they did not fall to a downside after that.

2 seasons later, they are still playing at the top of Serie A, it is very impressive and they ended the last season at 3rd position without Papu Gomez. The ex captain had big role in Atalanta tactics and it is so surprising to see Atalanta kept up the good work without Papu in the whole season. It proves that Atalanta can move forward well and won't depend on a single player.

@SquirrelJulietGarden there’s no doubt about the potential of Atlanta player’s, but now to grow they should reinvest in the market and try and challenge harder for the title rather than just be happy finishing in top 10. Furthermore I hope they don’t sell anymore player’s, cause to achieve success during this season they need to retain their core player’s.

Top 4, did you mean so and only made a typo (top 10)?

I think Atalanta will have solid position in top 6 or 7 but top 4, they will have to fight so hard. The competition to finish in top 4 of national leagues is never easy and if competitors are strong and stable in whole season, result will be so tight and Atalanta are not dominantly strong than other clubs in Serie A.

Furthermore I hope they don’t sell anymore player’s, cause to achieve success during this season they need to retain their core player’s.

They will sell players and all clubs will have sells and buys on the transfer market. The challenge for Atalanta is how to sell to get financial income and reinvest it good enough to maintain the team's strength.

you will see that at the next Champions League, Atalanta will do even better
it's a solid team, built well over time so every year they will do better to become a great team
you will see, I have adopted them as my favorite team for how they think and act

Atalanta's progress is good, seeing from their performances they are so solid and every season will definitely achieve what they want I know they have big dreams of winning Serie A and other competitions without popular players but with their perseverance they can make good and even rise from everything what is needed includes their own players who are able to play even better.

It will be very surprising Atalanta can compete again with Inter Milan and Juventus if they have surpassed their capabilities there is no doubt that solidity will certainly change the scheme of the game and it will become even stronger.
We look forward to this season.

Atalanta is still a favorite for me to be able to compete in the Top 4 next season. Although in the transfer market this time they are not so aggressive. With a minimal line-up, but able to carry out the coach's strategy well, Atalanta have been able to maintain their performance in several seasons. Maybe, to be a candidate for champions like the previous 2 seasons hard for them, but with the condition of Inter Milan having just changed coaches, Milan may still have a problem with their consistentcy, maybe Atalanta will be the runner up, while the champion will probably be won again by Juventus.

The performance of Atlanta with an average quality team last season is truly commendable. No one would say Atlanta is a strong team. But their performance is very stable. From defense to forward lineup, players in both places have tried their best to play well. The coach’s strategy was awesome. Hopefully they will be in the top 4 next season too.

Many small clubs faced with bankruptcy when they overpaid and desired to win titles. You can get some clubs like this: Deportivo La Coruna, Leeds United, Parma, Lazio, Dortmund.

I hope Atalanta will keep up their good performance and grow up more but I really wish they won't end like those clubs. I meant I don't want to see Atalanta pay too much for transfer market.

They can end the next season with a good position and a ticket to Champions League again but Scudetto is too much for them. They can make us surprised like AC Milan in the last season or Inter Milan two seasons ago but at the end, they will not get the Scudetto.

Italy has new favorites. Roma, Milan and now Juventus are going through a generational change. And teams like Atalanta and Napoli have a chance to become champions and enter the list of top clubs. And this chance should be used.

Well some of the players in Atalanta and Napoli are also getting old. For example there is Duvan Zapata and Luis Muriel in Atalanta and Insigne and Mertens in Napoli who have approached 30's and teams need to find some fresh solutions.  Atalanta specially have to look into as they don't have much density in striker position.

They have to find young players and prepare for future but in Serie A, old players can play well. Costarcuta, Maldini, Totti, Baggio, Di Natale, Ibrahimovic can play very well till their late of thirties. Career of players in Serie A are longer than in other leagues.

Don't mention about ages of those players, Napoli and Atalanta can not win Scudetto. They are strong but lack of stability and don't have enough subsitions for injuries.

With Inter winning the "middle" season (where we had pandemic as a full season, not the end, and probably not the start like the next one) we are going to definitely see some changes. I am not saying that it is going to be easy for any team, but I do not think that Inter will have that chance once again this easily.

However I still do not see Roma as a threat, they got Mourinho which is nice, but when the best transfer you make whole season is your manager that is obvious that you are not going to end up with something that good in the long term. Obviously you need to have something that is going to change the whole team and that could be manager but that alone will not make you champions. Juventus on the other hand is coming back with fire, after so many years of championship in a row, they are not happy about losing it last year and will try their best this year.

Roma cant win a title for ages,i dont know the last time Roma won anything at all. Their biggest achivement in the last years was to qualify for the champions league semi final and thats it before that nothing.Juventus must get some good transfers this summer to try and win the title

Roma and Mourinho out many hope on Zaniolo and they called him to come back to training earlier than other team mates. Zaniolo is a talented player and what he need is healthy form, no injury. I hope that Zaniolo will adjust his style and don't rely too much on his pace.

His knees after two serious injuries won't be able to suffer sudden direction changes at high pace. If Zaniolo can have his best in a new season, he will be able to get a higher high in his career with Mourinho.

I agree that Roma are not good for Scudetto and the realistic target for them is the third or fourth position.

I know this, Portugal and the Netherlands will be betting a lot on these two countries. But remember Portugal's opponent is Belgium. Belgium this time is able to perform extraordinary, they have never lost. Portugal must be vigilant, Belgium has a strong mentality and desire. This is an extraordinary capital that led them to the knockout stages.

In the next season, the team that I'm curious about the most are Roma.

In the last season, they had a very hard time on qualifying for a tournament. Actually they were doing good until getting close to the last week. But after that, they started to play really unbalanced. They couldn't make a win streak on the last weeks and it caused them to go down to the 7th place. Sassuolo were even very close to leave them behind. They ended with the same points but Roma had the advantage in the head-to-heads.

Now they made a change in their manager position. Mourinho is going to be the new coach in the next season. He had good memories with an Italian team, Inter before. Maybe he would do really good with Roma also. I feel like Roma can end in top 4 this time. They really need to gather themselves up after a bad season. Their wonderkid Zaniolo is also ready for duty. He was injured for a very long time period. Now, they will be stronger with him also.

In the match between Portugal and Belgium, I bet for Belgium and I won the bet. But in the other match, in the match between the Netherlands and the Czech Republic, I bet for the victory of the Netherlands. But I was surprised that the Czech Republic beat the Netherlands 2-0. The Netherlands team has performed very poorly.

For Roma, it looks like they are difficult to win if we are look at their current formation. However, if the "magic" of Mourinho still exists, maybe Roma can at least have one trophy. Because, the condition of the Italian clubs is still less than optimal next season, Juventus, Milan, Inter, they still have problems both from changing managers and leaving key players. Only in terms of coaches, Roma and Juve can be considered as clubs that have the potential to win next season with Atalanta. Milan and Inter, I'm not sure about these two Milan clubs. Napoli, i think they are still have potential struggling from the start.

If someone were to ask me to chart the top 5 teams for next season, I would put Inter Milan in first place, and Juventus in second place. Juventus did not perform well this season. My guess is that next season they will solve their mistakes. Atalanta will be in third place. In fourth place will be the AC Milan team. And in fifth place will be Roma.

I think Inter Milan will not be able to maintain the Scudetto next season, this is because Inter Milan is currently in the midst of a financial crisis, forcing Inter Milan management to take extreme steps, one of which is sacking Antonio Conte as their coach and replacing him with Simone Inzaghi who is relatively inexperienced and has a low salary compared to Conte likewise, Inter Milan move that they plan to sell some of their core players to other clubs makes me believe that Inter Milan will not be able to win the Scudetto next season and maybe Inter Milan will even be knocked out of the top 4.
I think Juventus will win the Scudetto again next season and the runner-up position will belong to AC Milan, which this season has a fairly capable squad.
