Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Shasha80]

Lazio will meet Inter in week 8, of course this is a very important match for both teams. Although Lazio played at home, but seeing Lazio play inconsistent
in 7 matches, I prefer Inter who will win the game. Since Inter are unbeaten in 7 matches, moreover Inter were Serie A champions the previous season.
This will be a motivation for Inter, so I think Inter's chances of winning the game against Lazio are much bigger.

Last season Inter had Conte, as well as Lukaku, I think this is what allowed them to become champions. Now the situation is a little different, although Inter still looks like a very strong club. Lazio's play is unstable, but I think they can play this match with more motivation to take a point away from Inzaghi. I think both teams will score goals in this match.

I admit that Conte and Lukaku played a very big role in making Inter win the previous season, and don't forget Inter also lost Hakimi and Eriksen who
this season couldn't play for Inter. But I am amazed that Inter can do well in Serie A without being unbeaten in 7 games, although Inter have lost
several players and their coach. While Lazio have not consistently started this season, from 7 matches only managed to win the match twice.
Maybe Lazio players are still adapting to the strategy used by Maurizio Sarri. But Against Inter in week 8 could be a tough match for Lazio to win,
because Ciro Immobile who is their main sticker may still not be able to play because of an injury. I don't change my opinion that Inter will win
the game against Lazio.

Looking at Roma this season from the previous season, it seems to be quite stable. Mourinho is able to continue his work properly. He is very experienced. Despite the defeat against Lazio, I would say that Roma performed well enough. Their opponent in the next match is Juventus. Without Ronaldo, Juventus is having a bad time. Mourinho must take this opportunity. And you have to earn 3 points from this match. Although it will not be easy.

Mourinho tactic is relevant for Serie A where defense is the priority. In the defeat against Lazio, Roma also played well and if they were more lucky, they would have at least 1 point.

It is a big test for Roma and Mourinho because Juventus now are back to their forms. If Roma can win it, they can proud to be one of big candidate for Scudetto.

I admit that Conte and Lukaku played a very big role in making Inter win the previous season, and don't forget Inter also lost Hakimi and Eriksen who this season couldn't play for Inter. But I am amazed that Inter can do well in Serie A without being unbeaten in 7 games, although Inter have lost several players and their coach. While Lazio have not consistently started this season, from 7 matches only managed to win the match twice.

Inter Milan are playing and getting very good results with new coach and Lautaro takes over the position of Lukaku very well. Inter Milan and Napoli are big surprise of Serie A in this season. I did not expect Napoli can have perfect win like this and Inter Milan to have good results like that after so many losses in the summer.

But the match with Lazio is very difficult for Inter. Lazio with the win against Roma shows that they are a tough opponent for any big club in Serie A.

I don't think that Napoli's situation now is a miracle. They have a really decent game plan which helps them win their games one by one a lot.

In reality, they are lucky enough still didn't have the matches against Inter Milan or AC Milan in the early of the season. I don't know if it can be said as a miracle or not. I think even they have good gameplay, they may lose points if they against a strong club like Inter Milan or AC Milan. These two strong teams also have good gameplay. Let's wait till Napoli meets Inter Milan or AC Milan, then we can conclude if they are really strong and have a great game play or not. However, so far, Napoli can continue to surprise us.

They played against Juventus but it was a Juventus that were having big problems on winning a game. And as a result, Napoli got an easy win against them. But they still haven't played against Inter or Milan indeed. These games will be the deciders about their determination in this season. If we see them struggling a lot against these clubs, then Napoli will be no different than them for me.

Mourinho must take this opportunity. And you have to earn 3 points from this match. Although it will not be easy.

Mourinho performance so far in Roma has really paid off, from the beginning of Mourinho arrival to Roma, Morinho has said that scudetto is not Roma target this season and Mourinho is only focused on building a solid team, and the results in a few games we can seen if the Roma squad plays solid enough, I think mourinho foresight in buying several players in the transfer market yesterday was the reason for Roma increasing performance this season.
I think the match against Juventus will be a difficult test for the Roma squad, especially now that Juventus are starting to find their best performance in the last 3 matches in the league.

[CryptoBuds]

Unlike its main competitors, Napoli really has practically no experience of winning the title of champion of Italy in recent decades, but almost 30 years, because the last Scudetto was won by the club in the 1989-1990 season, so it is necessary to approach the current leadership of the club and the level with the depth of the squad with great caution in order to maintain this leadership. On the one hand, I agree that the Scudetto is very, very important, but I do not think that the club has such a rich list of international titles to refuse the opportunity to add to it the title of the winner of the Europa League or the Conference League, although of course it is clear that Napoli will not make a full bet on this, sacrificing the domestic championship.

I am 100% sure that in Italy every player and every coach appreciates the Scudetto several times higher than the Europa League Cup and, of course, more than the Conference Cup. These cups are important only for teams from weak leagues who have many championships in the national championship but have no chance of winning the Champions League.

Well if I'm talking about Napoli, I guess that they should prioritize the league over the Europa League. Well Europa League itself is a good one to win for any team, but I think they will give priority to the Italian league over EUL. Because as you have said that they haven't won it in the past few decades, so looking at how they started the season, they will be hungry for that. And winning a league is always something very close to these clubs and also emotional as well. I'm hoping that how they started the season, they will have an extraordinary season.

If mourinho is still not targeting the Scudetto this season, it means he is realistic. Because the current condition of AS Roma is below Serie A standards to be a champions , although there are several names of players who are quite familiar and have been star players in their era. They need to change their strategy and strength line by line, this is will need 2 - 3 years for mourinho to get his ideal players compositions. But, what about the AS Roma board? are they ready to keep Mou if in 2 seasons they don't get a trophy at all? Mostly, the current club wants quick results, whereas the club does not have the players who deserve to be able to win the league.

Although Roma performance has been quite consistent this season, to enter the competition for the Scudetto this season, of course, the Roma squad still needs a lot of improvement, so it's only natural that Morinho makes his first season in Roma to maximize their team and at least be able to reach the top 4 positions at the end of the season.

Mostly, the current club wants quick results, whereas the club does not have the players who deserve to be able to win the league.

I think the club management will also understand this, and so far Morinho's work in Rome is going quite smoothly, I think so far Morinho has never promised anything grandiose every time he coaches a team and if Roma this season can be solid, it's certainly not impossible if Morinho will target the Scudetto next season.

[AakZaki]

Roma are not as strong as expected, to be honest when Roma got a winning streak at the start I thought Roma under Mou might be terrible. But after accepting defeat to Verona and city rivals Lazio,
~snip~

Indeed, the appearance of AS Roma was good at the beginning. But from the start I had my doubts a bit about them for a long season. They don't have many good players, they will be tested again if they meet tough opponents like Juventus, Milan, Inter, Napoli and Fiorentina. Indeed so far they are not too bad losing 2 times in 7 matches it is quite good. But it seems difficult to support As Roma to win Serie A this season. Unless in January As Roma will add many good players in all lines maybe they will be favorites to win.

So far I think Napoli, Inter and AC Milan are the strongest options to win the title this season in Serie A. But since the season is still quite long, it is still possible to see a change in the standings because some of them still have their focus on some games outside of Serie A. A either in the Europa League or in the Champions League. Roma should be included in the candidate, but it will be very doubtful because the quality of players owned by Mourinho at this time may not be perfect enough to achieve the title.

I think the match against Juventus will be a difficult test for the Roma squad, especially now that Juventus are starting to find their best performance in the last 3 matches in the league.

Against Juventus, it is clear how much Mourinho has been able to strengthen the team. Apart from Ronaldo, Juventus have performed poorly in the first few matches of the season, but have won the last three. They have beaten a team like Chelsea. The match was drawn against AC Milan. It is very challenging for Roma to win this match. Yet I have faith in Mourinho. He will find out the weak points of Juventus, and arrange the match strategy accordingly.

Don't get your hopes up on Roma because maybe you'll regret it when they don't win the title this season. This is the Special One's first season at Roma and we shouldn't put too much pressure on him to do it in one season as the club management has to do with him. It would be great if they could, but probably not because they didn't have enough strength to do so. Just look at Napoli, they will maintain a consistent victory and try to win the title this season.

Juventus vs Roma, this will be a very difficult match for both team. Juventus are having problems with their form after Ronaldo left at the start of the season and are trying to fix things well so far. Juventus will be ahead at home, I have to see it win at home on 18 october.

If Mourinho is able to win the title or equivalent to other candidates fighting for the title with the standings of 1-2 then Mourinho is great by having modest players but this season is still long and this is certainly not an easy thing for Mourinho to get into the top 4, but maybe, for now, yes, but what about the future? would be more difficult in my opinion.

Napoli has big ambitions this season and even plays well which continues to shine but Roma in Mourinho's hands is a little different and this will be a tough opponent too, but that's sometimes we can't predict what will happen in the future.
But I want to see in January whether Roma can add talented players to add to their squad?

I don't think Roma have a chance this season like you said Roma don't have a mainstay player yet so it's hard to compete
On the other hand Napoli still dominate all the matches so far they recorded a perfect match unbeaten Napoli really don't give reproach to other teams

[savetheFORUM]

Right now, we can't talk about title because It's still very early stages and many things can change in long run, we have too many matches still waiting for title. Napoli is excellent right now and their perfect start is giving them some edge on other teams, but they need to maintain this for a very long time if they want to win this year's title. Now they have their first test cast in 9th round match against Roma, this will be give some better idea how this is going to happen.

Milan is excellent as they are in last season but near the end they chock very badly and lost their spot on top and hardly able to have spot in top 4, so they need to maintain their form in good level until end of this season for better result.

We can't say that Napoli will win. However we can say that they are doing well and they have the chance. The difference between pre-season calculation and after it has been 7 games is the fact that we know now that Napoli is a team that will fight for the title. Sure they may still get worse, they may lose many games in a row, but at least they "look" better than what most people assumed they would be. That is not early, it is already there and we can say that they are better than what most people expected from them.

I personally think that they will finish top three, and 7 games is long enough to make that judgment right away. Considering Juventus-Milan-Inter is always the trio that people expect to finish three, there are many years these three are not the top three, and Napoli could be the team that breaks it and gets in the top three this season.

Juventus - Roma match next weekend can be a really special match. As Juventus also started having good results in the Serie A, this can be a really competitive and delightful match. Juventus won nearly all of their home mathes against Roma in their head-to-head matches consisting of last ten years. This is a huge psychological advantage for them. But on the other hand, Roma are playing much different with Mourinho. Both teams should be able to score goal(s) easily.

Juventus are indeed starting to rediscover their best form, being able to win 3 matches in a row in Serie A is a sign that Juventus has started to
play consistently. Even surprisingly able to beat Chelsea in the Champions League competition, it seems that the morale of Juventus players is
indeed on the rise. Massimiliano Allegri should be able to take advantage of this situation to further motivate Juventus players, so that when facing
Roma they can bring out their best game. Moreover, as you said Juventus have a good record when playing at home against Roma, this can be
a motivation for Juventus players. Actually Roma are very lucky to have a coach like Mourinho who is very experienced, but it seems that Roma
players still haven't adapted well to Mourinho's strategy. We can see Roma playing inconsistently in the last 5 matches in Serie A.
So it's likely that Juventus will win the match.

Napoli gained too much speed at the beginning of the championship and this itself raises suspicions and concerns about the further passage of the long distance of the championship. And if everyone is singing the praises of the club now, then I'm afraid that everything will immediately change to the opposite after a series of failures. Therefore, it is too early to even talk about getting into the top three after only seven rounds. There were also some doubts about Inter's championship prospects, although of course a fairly successful start dispelled these doubts a little, but no one guarantees that problems with finances and composition will not resurface with renewed vigor later.

You are right, Mourinho is capable of exploiting all the skills of the players in Roma, I remember how Mourinho has taken teams forward, the only thing that I did not see very well in part of his career was when he was in command of Real Madrid and it was his turn Playing against a Barcelona of Pep Guardiola, is the only times I have seen that Mourinho things have gone wrong, and all his encounters with Pep Guardiola remained in more failures, but all that experience has been gained to apply the best Strategic plan for Roma, where I see an Inter very well stopped and a Napoli hungry for triumphs, but as a friend says, in football anything can happen, in 90 minutes of play nothing is certain.

[kawetsriyanto]

They played against Juventus but it was a Juventus that were having big problems on winning a game. And as a result, Napoli got an easy win against them.

Yep, they won against Juventus when Juventus was in a bad performance. So, it cannot determine whether Napoli is a very strong team in Serie A this season. As I said before, we can see how strong Napoli is, when they play against Inter Milan or AC Milan. All people must wait for the upcoming big matches among Napoli, Inter, and AC Milan. I predict the matches will be tight because each team wants to stay at the top positions and they are in a good performance as well. Very interesting to see!!

So it's likely that Juventus will win the match.

Juventus have managed to appear consistent so far by winning three wins in a row, but there are still many problems that Allegri has to fix for now, especially with the defensive position, until week 8 they have conceded 10 goals and can only score 11 goals of course a very bad season for Juventus' defense at the moment, almost every game they have conceded a goal and this becomes an alternative for Juventus to find a new goalkeeper to replace Wojciech Szczęsny.
