Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[jakdanyel]

Lazio have a match against one of the new teams of the season this week, Empoli. But it could be a really interesting game seemingly. Because Empoli are the last champions in the Serie B. They lost only 3 matches in the whole season. This is not an achievement to be belittled. Lazio should play very carefully against a competitor like this. Otherwise, Empoli can get a surprising result here.

Manolas' future is not certain anymore. For the Greek defender of SSC Napoli there is the possibility of a transfer to Olympiacos. Should he leave, Napoli would go looking for a replacement with Senesi and Rugani being the main choices. As for the latter, there is some availability from Juventus. Rugani earns around 3 million per season however the salary can be spread with a longer contract than the one he currently has which is expiring in 2023.

Well, Juventus already give Demiral in load to Atalanta I don't think they can now sell Rugani while they still have Chiellini in the squad.

Chiellini is a high risk injury player, Juventus needs to have on more central defender after him.

Inter are going to play against Genoa and the season is going to start with this game. It shouldn't be a so hard game for Inter. Genoa are way weaker than their opponent. I don't think that they can resist Inter. Maybe Inter sold Lukaku but they are still a strong team and they are able to beat opponents like this easily.

In addition to Lukaku, Inter Milan is a strong team. On the other hand, Geona is a very weak team. They are very weak, especially against Inter Milan. I was looking at the match statistics of these two teams. Inter Milan has won all of their last five matches. But the thing that surprised me was that Geona didn't score a single goal in 5 matches against Inter Milan. Inter Milan will start the season with an easy win.

First match in a new season will never be an easy match for all teams including Inter Milan. Although Inter is a strong team but losing Lukaku may give very big difference as he was top scorer for Inter Milan followed by Martinez. Unfortunately Martinez is still in injury, so it can be another problem for Inter in the first match. I will not underestimate Genoa and I can't say they are very weak team.

Empoli has come in serie a with outstanding performances. But we must not forget that Lazio is a good enough team. They also played very well in the previous season. If I'm not mistaken, Lazio was probably the sixth team in the points table. Maybe Empoli will play well against Lazio. However, Lazio will win.

Waiting for with Inter Milan versus Genoa and want to see how Simone Inzhagi manage new club without any star label player after left by Lukaku and the experience coach Antonio Conte, Will new forward Edin Dzeko be better than Lukaku and make many goals? nice to see on this match because management have sold great player and buy less quality player and have age old year.

It is yet to be seen whether Edin Dzeko will be able to be like Rumelu Lukaku,or will end up flopping at the club.Lukaku has kept a good record at the club,and left,so it left for Dzeko to continue from where he stopped.
I also heard that Milan wanted to sell Lautero Martinez,if this deal had gone through with any interested club,we would have said Milan lacks ambition to sell their two best players.

I really doubt that Dzeko could be as good as Lukaku, he was never really at that level at all in his career, don't get me wrong Dzeko is a good player and all but he was never really THAT good, whereas Lukaku was probably the best striker in all of Serie A (in a league where Ronaldo plays too) so it was definitely an important part of it. What I believe will happen is that we are going to see the overall team getting a bit better, not just one place, striker position will not be same, but other places could be, and only just a slight chance.

After all Inter spent 30 million and sold for 200 million, that is 170 million difference, if you are a team that made 170 million profit AND get better, that is going to be probably the first time ever in history. I can't say that I would expect them to be any good this season, they can still beat Genoa very easily, but not be dominant in the league.

I think that Inter will have another decent year with Simone Inzaghi but they won't be able to win the title again. Because there is a big Juventus threat in this season with Allegri now. But in this match, Inter shouldn't have much problem against Genoa. They are hosting a much weaker opponent than them. I wonder if Dzeko will start scoring goals right away if he is preferred in the starting eleven.

Juventus are going to play an away match against Udinese and they are going to start the season with their new manager Allegri. It's been rumoured that Ronaldo would leave the team but he is still staying. I expect Juventus to have a really good start. They may have some injured players in their midfield. But they will still win the match.

I have seen many out there who rumored that he could go to PSG to see the greatest of football in a single team, but the truth is I do not think he will go there, if Cristiano Ronaldo leaves, I think that the most likely would be for Manchester United, if he leaves it would also be due to some type of non-compatibility with the coach, because in Italy he is very well, and if it is because of his athleticism, according to a study they did, his body responds for an athlete 10 years Younger than his current age, that's deir, if they let CR7 go it would be a huge loss for the Club.

Some teams are still fighting hard for their season goals juventus were reportedly desperate to hold on to ronaldo as they qualified for the champions league although he did not get a jersey in the last match ronaldo set a record he is the only footballer in the world to have been the top scorer in the english premier league la liga and serie a. Ronaldo's mother said she wanted her son to return to the childhood club sporting lisbon ronaldo's departure from juventus was further fueled by the news of his mother's wishes. Former coach andre pirlo did not feel the need to keep ronaldo in a match in the italian league.

If Ronaldo leaves the Juventus team now, Juventus will face a lot of problems this season. Those who have other strikers in the team besides Ronaldo are not very experienced. Dybala plays well but does not have the ability to score regular goals. If Ronaldo leaves Juventus and Juventus is unable to replace Ronaldo, Juventus will not be able to qualify for next season's Champions League.

Inter is looking to sign for Marcus Thuram, they offered 20 million to Gladbach but the Germans ask for 30.
The 24-year-old Frenchman, Lilian Thuram's son, has the physical structure to play first or second striker, as requested by Inzaghi, and he also has an affordable price considering that most of the best deals have been done.
Thuram junior earns 2.5 million net until 2023 and has immediately made it clear that he would not renew if the current club prevented him from seizing the opportunity to return to the place he was born.

Winning against Udinese shouldn't be hard  for Juventus, I know Juventus to be a vibrant team with talented players. Although, they couldn't win the league title last season, they ended the season at 4th position. I think with Allegri, this season will be a productive one for Juventus. I don't think Ronaldo will be leaving the team anytime sooner.

Inter are going to play against Genoa and the season is going to start with this game. It shouldn't be a so hard game for Inter. Genoa are way weaker than their opponent. I don't think that they can resist Inter. Maybe Inter sold Lukaku but they are still a strong team and they are able to beat opponents like this easily.

Inter might have sold their talented player, but they still have a good squad, although, this season won't be easy for them, if they fail to sign new talented player who will replace Lukaku. However, I don't think Genoa will be able to win against inter. Inter will definitely win their first season match.

Yes definitely, they'll win this one with ease despite the departure of there Hit man upfront...Romelu Lukaku.
Have they gotten a perfect replacement for him already ? Or Laturo Martinez the Argentina player will step up as their point man this season.

Yes, I also feel that Juventus doesn't need to keep Ronaldo because apart from these issues, Ronaldo's own game play doesn't seem to be really needed in my view. Indeed, Ronaldo's finishing was very fast and on target but if on the field he was just waiting for a pass, I think teamwork or cohesiveness in the game becomes a stiffness from other players. So, let Ronaldo go because then at least Juventus can play a more open game from every side.

If Ronaldo leaves the Juventus team now, Juventus will face a lot of problems this season. Those who have other strikers in the team besides Ronaldo are not very experienced. Dybala plays well but does not have the ability to score regular goals. If Ronaldo leaves Juventus and Juventus is unable to replace Ronaldo, Juventus will not be able to qualify for next season's Champions League.

Do you remember the season when there was no Ronaldo? Dybala played very well and was one of the KEY player in Juventus. Dybala lost his place and played less matches after Ronaldo came in. If Ronaldo leaves, that's the chance to other players to show their talent and skills. Juventus is still Juventus even though there is Ronaldo and they will still qualify for the Champions League, at least history says so.

indeed the influence of players like ronaldo sometimes makes other players have to be shifted in a team like what happened to dybala, but actually other players, especially young players can learn a lot from the world's best players in my opinion, in the last few years Juventus did qualify for the champions league but it seems that bad luck continues to haunt them, In three seasons with Ronaldo, Juventus have never been able to get past the quarter-finals, even Juventus have been eliminated twice in the last 16 of the Champions League .

I Slightly Agree with what @Iranus said, although they will still be able to get to the Champions League, but they will be a little difficult without Ronaldo, based on the data of the Serie A Top Scorer last season, we can see that Ronaldo is at the top, while under Ronaldo (From Juventus) We can see Alvaro Morata, not Paulo Dybala.

Juventus and AC Milan are favorited this season. Because, Lukaku is not in Inter Milan so they will be a little behind. The AC Milan team is strong. Their team has experienced players like Giroud and Ibra. Juventus have a goal machine Ronaldo. I think they are more likely to win the title this season if Ibra is not injured.

For Juventus, I agree with you, they really have the chance to become Serie A champions this season. However, for AC Milan, maybe they don't have it. The reason is that Milan will now play in the UCL, which maybe Milan team has less time to rest, so Milan players might be experience fatigue while playing in Seire-A. I think staying in 2nd place end of season is a good position for Milan.

Ronaldo is a goal machine but Juventus decentralized their players to Champions League and they lost the title to Inter Milan. The first season as a coach is bad for Andrea is another reason.

Lukaku left and perhaps Lautaro so Inter Milan will play this season for one position in top 4. AC Milan might take it over from Inter Milan to become the biggest opponent for Juventus. It is bad that in the list of top scorers in Serie A, AC Milan don't have one player there. In 2021 - 2022 season, Ibra will be older one more age. They can not rely on Ibra forever and if they want to win Scudetto, Ante Rebic should score more goals.

AC Milan lost Hakalnoglu as well. Will it affect their creativeness?

Dybala is a very talented player. This is what I am saying. But we don't have to compare Dybala with Ronaldo. Ronaldo is able to play well all season, he does not lose form. But Dybala will not be able to play well allover the season. He will not be able to exert his influence on the opponent. Ronaldo being on the team means the other players on the team can stay mentally tough.

I personally believe that Juventus will have the opportunity to win the Scuddetto this season, Juventus this season has a capable squad and not too many changes to their team, especially after the arrival of Locatelli will certainly make their game more aggressive, besides AC Milan of course there are several other strong teams that can being a contender for juventus this season to win for the scudetto, of course we also can't underestimate teams like atlanta and roma, especially atlanta, i think they will be ready to give a surprise this season as happened last season.

Another delightful game could be Roma - Fiorentina this week. Smalling, Spinazzola and Villar are injured. Spinazzola got injured while the Euro 2020 was going on. And he is a big loss for Roma that's for sure. Roma have strengthened their squad by signing Tammy Abraham. They have filled Dzeko's place with him. I wonder how much nice he will play in this match if he is preferred by Mourinho.

I think that Roma will succeed in defeating their opponent Fiorentina. As long as they watch out for Dusan Vlahovic, there shouldn't be much problem.
