Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[LUCKMCFLY]

It was an interesting match between Roma and Sassuolo. Roma still managed to win, El Shaarawy scored the last minute goal in the 90+ with the assistant of Shomurodov. The players tried their best and secured 3 winning points, they are currently leading the Serie A standings with 9 points.

Roma is playing well enough, and luck is on their side so they can win. He has won all the 3 matches. But we will see exactly how strong they are this season when they will perform against strong teams. The teams they have performed against so far are not strong. Yet Roma's performance is very commendable. They are not performing as badly as Juventus.

So far Roma are still good in scoring goals and it looks like it will be consistent this season but unfortunately, Roma's defense is still not strong enough. With Roma's defense still not perfect, then it could be something that will make Roma unlucky later when against a stronger team.

I don't think Roma's defense is too weak. However, we still do not know how effective they are against a strong team. However, Roma have conceded just two goals in three matches. And they managed to score 9 goals. But so far Roma's defense did not seem weak to me. Even their goalkeeper Patricio is performing very well.

I´m very happy with you, very few recognize the work of a goalkeeper unless he is very famous, but Patricio seems to me to be a great goalkeeper, we must also recognize that the Roma defense is not weak, they have some errors, it is something normal, judging that the Italian defenses are the best in the world, I think they have helped Patricio a lot to do a good job, Patricio is a goalkeeper who has a lot of talent, it happens like Ospina the Colombian goalkeeper, they are not very famous but they have impeccable technique, I think that for now Roma's strongest rival is Juve despite no longer being CR7.

Roma are maintaining their great performance now. They managed to defeat a really tough opponent which was Sassuolo by 2-1. But it was a really competitive match and Roma found the winning goal in the last minutes. They have made a 3-win streak now and they are the leader in the league also. Mourinho is still doing good even against a tougher opponent. I can't wait to see them against teams like Inter, Milan and Juventus also.

[DU18]

There are a lot of Juve main players who were left out against Napoli because they had to rest, this made it difficult for Allegri to make a good composition of players in the match. Next, Juventus will play with a full squad (unless someone is injured again), if Juventus has played with a full squad, Allegri will have a better strategy.

They will play against Malmo in the UCL Group stage. I think they have to win, I don't think Malmo are a great team, even I just heard this time.
After that they will have a Derby match, they will play against Ac Milan on September 20 for the continuation of Serie A. It seems that Alegri must be smart to rotate the players so as not to get tired and get injured a lot.

Juventus has managed to get its first win against malmo Fc in the inaugural match in  Group H champion league today with a score of 3-0, in that match juventus dominated the match and managed to make 16 shots on goal and 8 of them were shot on target, the interesting thing for me is Allegry uses a 4-4-2 formation by pairing Morata and Dybala in front of Juventus, I think this formation might be very effective if applied against Milan in Week 4 of Serie A, from three Juventus matches,
I see if Allegry continues to experiment with a different formation from the first to the third week:

Week 1 : Udinese 2 vs 2 Juventus : 4-4-2  ( Draw )

Week 2: Juventus 1 vs 2 Empoli : 4-3-1-2  ( Lose )

Week 3:  Napoli 2 vs 1 Juventus : 4-3-3  ( Lose )

UCL : Malmo Fc 0 vs 3 Juventus : 4-4-2 ( Win )


I think from some of these matches it is clear that the 4-4-2 formation seems to be more effective now that Juventus are using.

Yes, in the match with Malmo, Juventus won a big victory with a score of 3-0, however, it is difficult to call this victory indicative in terms of the fight for the Champions League title, and in the fight for the title of champion of Italy. I think that in the match with Milan, Juventus will have a much harder time and it will also be difficult to call "la Vecchia signora" the undisputed favorite. However, a victory in the match with Milan would be important for Juventus both in a psychological sense in order to gain confidence, and purely for tournament reasons, not allowing Milan to go far and even on the contrary approaching it. It is not for nothing that they say that such meetings are worth not 3, but 6 points.

[jakdanyel]

Milan got a really decent win against Lazio by 2-0. I hoped to see Zlatan Ibrahimovic in the second half and it happened. He entered the match in the 60th minute and he scored in the 67th minute.    Despite his age (39), he is still Zlatan. He is still like a goal machine and it is good to see him back like this. Next week, they are going to play against Juventus away. Even if Juventus are out-of-form, Milan shouldn't believe that they can defeat Juve easily. I expect a competitive match to be honest.

I admit that Roma have played quite consistently in Serie A by winning 3 matches in a row. So it's worth it for now Roma are in first place, but Roma
haven't faced a big team so far. So it's too early to say that Roma can win the Serie A trophy this season. I am the same as you, very curious about
how Roma will perform against big teams. Perhaps what is interesting is the Roma match in week 6 when playing away against Lazio, because I think
Lazio this season is a fairly strong team, so it can be an indicator of seeing Roma's strength.

[OcTradism]

Yes, in the match with Malmo, Juventus won a big victory with a score of 3-0, however, it is difficult to call this victory indicative in terms of the fight for the Champions League title, and in the fight for the title of champion of Italy.

I hope the good result from Champions League will help Juventus to come back in Serie A. This win shows that Juventus are still a big club and troubles they are witnessing in Serie A will be solved gradually. Give them time and don't create unnecessary pressure on Juventus. They will come back because they are good team with good coach and quality players.

Roma are maintaining their great performance now. They managed to defeat a really tough opponent which was Sassuolo by 2-1. But it was a really competitive match and Roma found the winning goal in the last minutes. They have made a 3-win streak now and they are the leader in the league also.

Things are beauty for Roma and Mourinho so far. They have big wins and even the tough win against Sassuolo, they have won 3 all matches in Serie A and are on top 3 of the table.

In the match with Sassuolo, Mourinho shows that he is ready to take risk if he wants to win match. Did it happen just because it is the 1000th match of Mourinho? Will he repeat it in other matches? Roma is very attractive team in Serie A now.

When I last watched the bookmaker's quotes Juventus was the favorite of this match, for me personally it is surprising as the quality of the shown game is too different now. I do not think that the factor of home field will be of great importance. I assume that Milan will take at least one point from Turin. Most likely I will bet on this.

Roma have started the season very well. However, it is not yet possible to estimate how strong they are to fight for the title. Because they have not faced any strong team yet. Still, the team looks stable enough. Although they did not win the title, they seem to have the qualifications to be in the top 3 teams in the points table.

I think Roma are not targeting champions this season, and I agree with you their target is probably at least top 3 at the end of the season. Achievement in this position is also very good for Roma. Of course, for a Mourinho, finishing in that position is not good enough for him. maybe it was a failure for him. Because he is a coach who can only be satisfied if he can bring his team to victory.

They should have won easily. Many people were amazed by mourinho's performance with roma. But I think this is just the beginning there will still be a lot of games. If they can hold on like today that's great. Indeed Murinho's history in Italy is quite good but in other leagues Mourinho has not been very successful. Let's see until the end of the season, how they do with Mourinho.

Schedule is definitely something very important on the early days. However not losing points to teams that they should not lose points to is also a great thing. I mean Inter had a draw with sampdoria, or juventus lost to napoli. These are not "hard" games for these teams normally neither, if it was only hard teams that big teams lost then every team would have under 5 losses/draws combined each season because they would only lose to each other and beat everyone else.

However we all know that even the top teams sometimes end up losing/drawing against lower level teams. This is why it is a quite important part of the league to beat the teams you suppose to beat. I am not saying mourinho is the reason Roma became better but it is obvious that he knows how to play against lower level teams and this makes the team a lot better in the long run.

I don't think that it was just because his 1000th match. Mourinho already started proving that Roma can be the right club for him to make his system work. They started the season very well and they were highly the favourite side in this match also. Unless Mourinho starts making things worse, Roma will definitely be one of the teams to watch this season.

[KTChampions]

After yesterday's Champions League match, it's clear why Juventus is the favorite in the upcoming match against Milan. If Milan plays as weakly then the only thing he should hope for is a goalless draw, I don't think there is a chance that the situation with Liverpool will repeat itself when they scored 2 goals out of nothing.

I don't see that Milan played too weak in the match with Liverpool. They play in Liverpool stadium and managed to scored two goals. It is acceptable result and don't forget that it is a first season, first match in Champions League after many years of AC Milan. They are building their team and this season is a foundation for further growth.

I don't think that it was just because his 1000th match. Mourinho already started proving that Roma can be the right club for him to make his system work.

It is not only Roma but also Serie A where tactics is important than speed and intensity in matches. The Serie A style is different than Premier League and La Liga.

Too early to think of a successful season Roma and Mourinho but so far so good.

Although AC Milan has lost to Liverpool, it doesn't look like they've played too badly. Liverpool is a very strong and stable team. While Juventus have won against weaker teams like Malmo, Juventus have certainly played great, I don't think they will do as well against AC Milan. But I would expect a competitive match.

Liverpool vs AC Milan is a very exciting game, but unfortunately I couldn't watch all the match yesterday where a lot of good teams played. The 5 goals scored in that match impressed the crowd and fans and everyone in the team. Did you see how the two coaches reacted when the players scored? That is very fun. I only watched the footage, but Liverpool's closing goal was spectacular which reminded me of Steven Gerrard.

I believe AC Milan will qualify for the next round in the Champions League this season. They have improved up their game and this is their first season back in the UCL after a long absence due to poor performances in Serie A.

I think Juventus victory against Malmo doesn't make Juventus the favorite against Milan, obviously in terms of the quality of the team squad between Milan and Malmo, it's much different, if we compare the two squads, it's clear that Malmo has a squad whose quality is far from Milan at the moment.
AC Milan did experience defeat in the match against Liverpool and that doesn't mean they played badly in that match and the proof is that they managed to score 2 goals in return, even though Liverpool are a stronger team than Milan, but the victory was just luck from an own goal in minutes the start of the match. In my opinion, AC Milan is the favorite to win the match against Juventus later.

[Swordsoffreedom]

I believe AC Milan will qualify for the next round in the Champions League this season. They have improved up their game and this is their first season back in the UCL after a long absence due to poor performances in Serie A.

AC Milan is in Group B. All the teams in this group are strong. AC Milan's next opponents are Atletico Madrid and Porto. Both teams have the potential to win against AC Milan. Although AC Milan is also a strong enough team. However, it is not clear whether Milan will qualify for the next round.
