Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Pmalek]

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.

It wasn't an exception because Napoli don't care that much about the Europa League. Proof of that is in the squad that played last night. They brought in several players who don't feature regularly in the domestic competition. Don't get me wrong, if given the opportunity, they will gladly progress. But their main focus is on performing well in Serie A.

Juventus, on the other hand, want's to go as far as possible in the Champions League. That's why they will give their all in that competition.
What we usually see after a big game in Europe, is that the teams come back tired and mentally exhausted in their next league fixture. It's hard to keep the tempo at the maximum levels all the time. It's a good thing that the next game is a city derby, but I am still expecting a tired and struggling Juventus side.

Juventus is back on track from 4 games on and I think the team finally found the joy to play football in a defensive style even if in Serie A they don't care if they get goals as long as they score more than the other team. Funny how italian teams kinda forgot how to defend in the last years so maybe it's time for Juventus to play in Serie A like they did in UCL ? If they will ...I really think everyone will have troubles to score against them.

Juventus started this season with a less-than-good performance. His performance has started to improve in the last 3 matches. and this weekend Juve will play Torino which is 1 place above Juve.
regardless of the style of play applied, defend or score as many goals as possible against the opponent's goal. I think Juve should have won this game.

^ Juventus had a horrible start to the season but I'm glad that they seem to be back on track again. Though they are now placed 10th after 6 matches having only won 2 and having a goal difference of 0. They are not able to score like before they did with Ronaldo. They are also conceding more goals than they usually do. We know Juventus is a team that has a solid defense but that hasn't been the case so far. Hoping that they will win the match against Torino. But it's gonna be a challenge for them as they don't have Dybala and Morata as they are injured as far as I know.

The chaos is everwhere.. hits european top clubs such as barcelona, real madrid and juventus itself, the crisis are being recovered and it has a lot of things to sacrifice, it takes time as for the consequences...  juventus should have bring cristiano replacement but then didnt spend much money to bring one, they are quite struggle now but its backup with morata leading the frontline to attack and scoring. it is irony... but juventus are not alone.

we might see a real competitive serie A in the next 5 or 10 matches from now. i guess..

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.

Very true, very true, but for all the final goes scored in OT, there were other games they could not find a goal despite trying so hard. That season previous in earlier games,,, they actually had even more attempts but less than xG achieved. This is what I mean in the league it is much more a "justice" system where eventually your consistency translates roughly into the correct number of points.

Real lost to Sherif, and Napoli lost to Spartak, but in the end you still expect the losers of those games to be more successful over a series of campaigns.

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.

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.

So far Juve and Torino are doing the same but Juve is kinda back on track, besides winning vs Chelsea in CL is something that should be proud of. I expect them to win, odds are also in favour of Juve @1.8 vs 4.5 for Torino.

juve underwent a heavy change
unfortunately it will take months before it is seriously back on track
obviously this in my opinion
then maybe I'm wrong .. but I've seen this for many teams, and it's normal

Yes, ronaldo left and they are still a bit confused to score. Slightly late transition. But from the last 4 matches they started to perform well. They drew against Milan, then won against Samdoria and lastly beat Chelsea in the UCL. This result is a big motivation to add confidence for tomorrow's away game. Although I know it won't be easy against Torino. At the last match they drew at home to Torino. Tomorrow will be different, they will be more difficult. But I think draw is a natural thing. Their points are the same but Allegri certainly has better players than Torino.

Inter Milan have been doing greatly this season, they are currently unbeaten in the Serie A. They are probably doing good even after losing their top player, Lukaku in the last transfer window. Although, they need to improve in the Champion League, they have played 2 matches so far and wasn't able to win any. Their last match was against Shakhtar Donetsk, and it ended draw, although, Shakhtar dominated the match with 66% Ball possession. Inter have an away match tomorrow against Sassuolo, inter is likely to win the match with 2 or more goals, because Sassuolo is not considered as a strong team.

Tomorrow is the Turin derby, where Juventus will be a heavy guest on Turin's neighbor in the derby, the old capital of Italy, the first capital of a united Italy. Turin, the city crowned with the largest number of local championships in the history of Italian football, 62 titles completely and completely within Italy in the city of Turin. Although mostly for the old lady, this year it looks like the derby will be exciting.
Juventus seeks confirmation, and Turin seeks to continue their victories that encourage Nicolas' leadership.
We are on a date with the most culminating derby in Italy.
And we most likely going to see both teams on the scoring sheets.

What a tragic end of match between Cagliari vs Venezia 19th minute goal give lead to home team, and they were going to celebrate their first win of this season but suddenly in Injury time a goal from Busio G. give dramatically draw to Venezia, and now they put themselves out of relegation zone for some time. Today I am feeling very sad for Cagliari because they were doing good for first win of this season, but lady of luck is still not with them, and they have to stay at 19th with 3 points and Venezia taking their spot with back to back second draw in Serie A.

No one have any doubt that it's going to be very exciting Derby after many years because right now both teams level in points, but Torino is on up with better goal difference, and they are really doing good in last few matches on Juventus side they are facing some serious problems after Ronaldo and now with injuries which are creating more problems for them as few key players out, and they have not better options. Still, it's good to point both teams to score is the best option for all odds are also not bad with @1.80. After watching match against Chelsea I am going to favor old lady but still It's anybody game as derby is never been easy for any team in any country.

They will do well,Lukaku was not the only good goal scorer in that team,Martinez was also doing a great job there,complementing Lukaku.There are other players that didn't leave to anywhere,they are still in the team,and are still making things to happen as usual.Milan coach is really proving to be a perfect replacement to the former coach who helped them win their league.If I am predicting that game against Saussolo,I will go for Milan win and over 2.5.

Although Inter are unbeaten but Inter got two draws and that left him scattered in the third position in the table. But indeed, Sassuolo so far haven't found their best form or maybe it's an attainable capacity, because when Sassuolo play at home the fact is they still haven't been able to get the expected win. That way, I personally believe Inter will win or if I need to get better odds I'll put Inter -1.5 or more in AH.

@hahay it looks like Inter is prioritising the league over playing well in the champions league, but it’s yet not too late for them to recover and secure a spot for the next round.

Also I’m not surprised to see Inter do well, because the hype was around Lukaku last year so no one really gave credit to other player’s ad you’ll rightly said, and now they’re playing more like a team than one man show and that’s why they’re yet successful.

Roma will play against Empoli and Napoli will play against Fiorentina in one of the most important matches today. Although the Roma team seems strong, but Empoli has the ability to surprise everyone by winning. They won against Juventus. So Roma must play well and carefully to win. On the other hand, Napoli has not lost a single match yet. Hopefully they won't lose against Fiorentina either. Fiorentina has won four of their last six matches. However, Napoli's performance is very stable. Either way, Napoli will want to score 3 points.

Empoli beat Roma I don't think will be happen, looking at the statistics from some their meeting Empoli have never won, their best result is a draw, so I think betting on Roma will remain the favorite in this match. source
Indeed Empoli can beat Juventus but it happened because Juve were not okay they were bit slow to transition when Ronaldo left.

[Kusman]

Inter are going to play an away match against Sassuolo today. Sassuolo haven't started well and they hardly got a win finally against Salernitana last week. Inter are one of the most powerful teams this season again after ending the last season as champions. They drew with Atalanta last and they would like to win this match. Inter were able to defeat Sassuolo away in past matches and they can do this again.

Napoli lost 3-2 at home against Spartak in the Europa League this week. The match started well for them, but then everything turned upside down, I do not know if this will somehow affect the Napoli players, usually such events do not add enthusiasm. On the other hand, I think now in Napoli, given the leadership in Serie A, they think more about winning the championship than about European competitions.
