Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Altryist]

It is true that Chelsea lost to Manchester City in their last game and this might affect them mentally. But still, Chelsea players don't lose their focus very easily even after a loss. We watched them against Manchester City in defense and they were very good. City tried everything they could but the final score was 1-0. I think that Chelsea will be well-prepared for this game. But this is going to be tough for each side of course. Juventus wouldn't lose this game very easily. Even if Chelsea win, they will win by one goal I think.

I don't think the defeat against City will have any psychological impact on Chelsea. Actually, like City, will not get any additional confidence from this victory. Look how City lost yesterday to PSG, they attacked better than PSG, but still lost, it's football, that happens. Chelsea will play as confidently in the Premier League as in the Champions League, it team with character that will only fight for the highest goals.

Juventus have started a decent form by winning two times in a row. Now, their next competitor is going to be Torino. Torino are doing nearly the same as Juventus so far. I expect them to be durable against Juventus in this game. But there is an obvious power difference between these teams too. However, Juventus are in a troubling situation as Morata and Dybala are injured. They may have problems here. But I still don't think that they will lose this game.

Milan are having a really nice season again after ending the last season at the 2nd place also. This time, they seem like more assertive to win the title. But they have really tough competitors for the championship like Napoli, Inter and Roma. I would say Juventus also but they don't seem inconsistent these days. Napoli are the best club so far but we are at the beginning of the season now. Many things can change in the coming weeks.

I don't know you know, you mentioned Juventus, but in my opinion it is not suitable for winning.
Then you are forgetting Atalanta, who finished third and is a very competitive and strong team

maybe not even Atalanta can win it, but they will have a hard time

[KTChampions]

So far only Napoli, Inter Milan and Milan have not lost in the league, although it is too early to predict which club will win the Serie A title at the end of the season, but we can see if in some matches, the 3 clubs are quite consistent and if this is the case can continue of course the three clubs can have a tight competition until the end of the season, but I personally make Napoli as the champion of this half of the season and while for the end of the season, it looks like it will be very difficult to predict.

It should be noted that of these three, only Napoli and Milan have an outstanding number of goals conceded - 2 and 3, respectively. Inter have conceded 7 goals and apparently the key to its success is the attack, which compensates for the missed goals. Now he is the leader in this indicator - 20 goals. As for the championship prospects, in my opinion, after the first circle, there will be a couple of teams really applying for it.

yes it looks like their defense is a little weak and fortunately their attacking sharpness this season can at least cover these weaknesses, in the last few days Inter Milan has been linked with several goalkeepers such as Berd Leno (Arsenal) and also Andre Onana (Ajax), do you think Samir Handanovic is Inter Milan's main weakness at the moment, so they plan to find a replacement?

I expect them to be durable against Juventus in this game. But there is an obvious power difference between these teams too. However, Juventus are in a troubling situation as Morata and Dybala are injured. They may have problems here. But I still don't think that they will lose this game.

As Morata and Dybala both are injured, Chiesa will have a very important role in the upcoming matches. Juventus always had a good defensive structure lead by Bonucci and Chiellini but Maybe without Morata and Dybala, they might have a hard time with finishing the ball into the net. This was not a problem in the past two seasons as they had Ronaldo. But now that he is gone, Chiesa might have an important duty right now.

[CLS63]

Juventus have been maintaining a really good form in the recent times. They won four times in their last five games. And the one they didn't was a draw by 1-1 against Milan home. They defeated even Chelsea in their Champions League game last night. This is a lot of progress for them even though they didn't have Dybala and Morata on the front. They have a much bigger morale now and it is good to see Allegri making his team better day by day. Their next competitor is Torino and we see an away game. Maybe Torino had a similar start to them in the league but they got 2 draws in their last games. Even if Juventus feel the absence of their forwards, they can still win this one too.

Italian league seems to be in an interesting position right now. Now as Juventus are not the only team that wins the league right now, they have got tough competition like Milan, Napoli, and maybe Inter I'm guessing. I have high hopes about Milan winning this season. Zlatan will play an important part in that. Unless he gets injured and gets the support from his teammates, Milan should be winning the trophy with a bit of competition from Napoli. An interesting season up ahead for fans.

Juventus have been maintaining a really good form in the recent times. They won four times in their last five games. And the one they didn't was a draw by 1-1 against Milan home. They defeated even Chelsea in their Champions League game last night.

The draw with AC Milan helped Juventus to stop their bad form and get their confidence back.

With their players and with their coach, I think Juventus will move up to top position soon. Give them time, they will come back but I can not predict how high they will compete this season. The Serie A now is very competitive with Napoli, AC Milan, Inter Milan, Juventus, Atalanta and Lazio. I know clubs in Serie A now are not at top level in the Europe but the competitiveness in Serie A itself now is high among Italian clubs.

This is a lot of progress for them even though they didn't have Dybala and Morata on the front. They have a much bigger morale now and it is good to see Allegri making his team better day by day.

Juventus will need to have healthy Dybala and Chiesa for their attacking system and Bonucci, Chiellini, De Ligt for their defense system. Dybala looks to have a bad period in his career with too many injuries.

In the match against chelsea, i saw juventus even very depressed by chelsea's game and even chelsea controlled almost 76% of the game last night, but fortunately 1 chiesa goal in that match could make them achieve positive results, i think it's time now juventus forget about dependence ronaldo and allegri should be able to take advantage of their remaining strikers right now.

After early set backs both teams playing much better have same points after six matches, but Torino is some better in defense and Juventus is playing without their 2 key strikers which is big setback for them.

But, big advantage with Juventus is they are big team and having very good record against Torino just one lost and 1 draw from 10 games is something impressive hopefully they will do much better than expectations because now their players are improving game after departure of Ronaldo which was big setback for them. If they won this game then surely peoples will think about them as they good chances of reaching in top 4.

I don't think the defeat against City will have any psychological impact on Chelsea. Actually, like City, will not get any additional confidence from this victory. Look how City lost yesterday to PSG, they attacked better than PSG, but still lost, it's football, that happens. Chelsea will play as confidently in the Premier League as in the Champions League, it team with character that will only fight for the highest goals.

Exactly what I always say about football,,, that especially in KO competition you do not have to be the best, as you can survive by making a huge effort in tight times, and hope for a bit of luck.

This is not possible in the league because your good luck streaks also turn into bad luck and your job is to be consistent.

Chelsea and Juventus result lied last night and Juventus lives again but their form and inability to keep consistent this season might cost them Top 4.

Well even in the league there are seasons where you finish the game with three points despite very close events happening. When Liverpool made 96 points in the Premier League, they scored a final goal in overtime in several of the games. The season after they didn't have that luck anymore and performed relatively bad. But sure you are right, generally speaking in KO games more surprises are happening as an underdog can make the impossible possible with a good portion of luck.
See Napoli who now lost in the European League, who would have thought that given their performance in the Serie A? I am curious if the loss was the exception and they can keep going as they have done in the last couple of weeks.

How many percent ball possession controlled is not important but how can you win on the match without have good playing game, the same apply by Jose Mourinho he not care about football beautiful game play just one decision how to win. Maybe Juventus not really interested with ball possession and keep touch how can one shoot could made one goal although with less percent controlled ball possession, almost club just take care with ball possession like Barcelona but failed to make many goal on every match.

It is the derby of Turin and in derby matches, players will play with more than 100% of their mentality and energy so shock can happen. Juventus have stronger power and they are coming back to their winning habit. It's good for them and I believe Juventus will win the derby with the condition that they have to play carefully backside. Their defenders have to watch out Torino attacking players. If they can protect their goal, I believe Juventus attacking players can score goals to help them win the derby.

How many percent ball possession controlled is not important but how can you win on the match without have good playing game, the same apply by Jose Mourinho he not care about football beautiful game play just one decision how to win.

I am impressed with what Mourinho is doing in Roma. It is big surprise that Mourinho and Roma are playing with sexy football that is not commonly happen with Mourinho in his career.

Mourinho has to do more things to improve the defense of Roma and make them becoming a giant in Serie A.

Juve Torino is a Derby and you know a derby is always a hot game with surprises.
Juventus is stronger for sure but a lot of strange things can happen in these kinds of games.

One of the toughest games this weekend can be Atalanta - Milan this Sunday.

We still don't know for certain whether Zlatan Ibrahimovic will have bounced back soon. But I'm pretty sure that he is not going to be able to play against Atalanta in this game too. But Milan are still doing a great job in their games in every tournament. They have won their five of their first six games in the Serie A and got a draw also. They are the 2nd now in the standings being right behind Napoli. They are showing a great effort in the Champions League also but they couldn't get a satisfying result there yet. They lost to Atletico by 2-1 in their last game and the Atalanta game will also be a very tough one. Because Atalanta have had a decent start to the league too. They gave Inter a really hard time and Inter barely saved one point against them. I think that each team will score at least one goal. And I hope to see Milan not losing here.

Juventus' condition is currently not in their best performance, but the results in the champions league will likely make Juventus in a better mental and spirit to be back in the Top 3 standings. Torino have only lost once, with a draw vs Lazio being their best performance so far against a big team. This is still difficult to measure the appearance of Torino. However i agree with you, sometimes the unexpected happens in the derby.

Atalanta vs Milan, I think Milan can face them with a better performance after the defeat in the Champions League, maybe hard for Milan, but they can get 3 points.with 1 goal difference, can be obtained by AC Milan

Juventus are currently in good momentum having won 4 times and only drawn once, including an important win against chelsea in champions league, but currently juventus have a big problem against torino, because they only have two strikers who are fit at the moment namely chiesa and also kean, so far chiesa's performance has started to improve a bit but kean inconsistent performance makes me a little doubtful if juventus will  be achieve a positive result in this match.

I cannot evaluate his play this season, since I practically do not watch (so far) matches with Inter and I do not think that the missed goals are his fault - this is always a complex indicator where the team's defensive line plays no less role than the goalkeeper. He is 37 years old, this is already a serious age even for a goalkeeper, so it is not surprising that the club is starting to look for potential replacements.
