Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[rozak]

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.

In the last match, Juventus only narrowly won against Torino 0-1 with a GOAL at the end of the 2nd half. Many chances but not maximized into a GOAL. I'm sure the problem isn't just in defense.
I hope Juventus will perform better in the next match against Roma. which I think will be tougher than the game against Torino. but this match will be very interesting for us to follow. I hope there will be more than 2 GOAL later.

exact
I absolutely agree with you
the fact that Juventus have won three matches in a row does not mean that everything is alright, on the contrary ... there is a lot of work to do (a lot) to reach the levels of a great team

it takes time, like for post-Messi Barcelona

Lazio didn't play bad but they were unlucky. Bologna used chances better than them and deserved to win the game. Napoli beat Fiorentina and stayed at the top. Roma also won, now we are waiting for Milan game. Interesting odds, it looks like bookmakers see Atalanta favorite. I would play both teams to score for this match. I don't think Milan will be quiet, Rebic, Diaz and Leao will be in the pitch. Atalanta is already the favorite so I think they will score at least one goal. Zapata, Malinovsky and Pessina will play. It could be an open game by both teams. I'm expecting a great game for fans.

It is slowly but surely getting interesting watching Napoli's winning streak! Anyone knows what the record is in terms of number of wins to start into the season?

Honestly I didn't even know the coach of Napoli and what he did before or which team he coached.

Anyway, I also like to see Dzeko competing for the top scorer rank. This guy is just getting up and up again. Never lost his efficiency as a striker and he also plays a strong style for the whole team.

Roma has record of 10 consecutive wins in Italian League 2013-14 and interestingly in this season Juventus set a record of most wins in a season with 33 matches out of 38 matches. Napoli's own record for most wins is 13, and it's happen 2 time, first in 2016-17 and 2017-18. Right now, as they are playing I am feeling they can break Roma's record as they already won and next one at home against Torino after this 9th match is against record holders Roma which is very tough as they are also doing very good right now in league.

Interesting stuff, yeah. So the first big clash will be against Roma, and if they win that one it probably is going to boil down to the match against Inter on November 21st. That's definitely going to be the biggest highlight in the Serie A thus far. We will also have an awesome derby between the two Milano clubs this year. Both teams unbeaten so far. Things have definitely changed for now in the Serie A and it is going to be interesting to see in how far Juventus will be able to repair the damage they did to themselves during the early stage of the season.

[KTChampions]

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.

The sluggish start of the favorites is quite understandable - they plan to peak in shape for the hot days when the playoffs in the Champions League will take place. But this does not mean that Napoli will necessarily have failures, most likely they will simply sacrifice the Europa League and devote all their strength to the struggle for the Serie A championship.

[leea-1334]

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.

I have to agree,,, their wonderful start to the season is nice to have and it is so good to see Mourinho back to his best and strangely no longer the old type of defensive mind he used to have BUT this is great form that should not last for too long past midseason.

Jose will get crazy again it is just a matter of time.

Champions League reentry would be great for them.

Juventus defense is fragile, it's true, but the main problem is not caused  by goalkeepers, I think currently Juventus need some defender that are tough enough to guard their defence, if their defense is solid, of course Szczesny job will certainly be easier, because so far goalkeepers are the last defense of a football team.
By the way I read recently that Opta said that Juventus have a bad defense in Europe top five leagues and Allegry also stated that their defense cannot move defensively as a unit and of course mentality is the main problem for Juventus at the moment.

Juventus - Roma is another match that will be a very exciting match after Lazio - Inter. Considering Juventus' recent form, we should be able to watch a very competitive match. Roma are also much better thanks to Jose Mourinho's system. The clash between these teams can be interesting. Juventus were highly dominant against Roma in their home matches so far. But I feel like we could see a draw and goals from both sides.

I think Roma can win this game if they start playing this "new" Mourinho system which shows they have scored goals in the last 7 games they have played and even when they have lost,they have lost by a single goal while keeping attack pressure high,so I would say it was bad luck especially in the game against Lazio where tensions are high because it is a derby game.Juventus is really bad in their recent form but we should never underestimate the greatest team of all times in Italy Serie A so anything can happen.As a sure bet I would pick both teams to score as this has been mostly the case during their last encounters.

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.

Juventus have the advantage of playing home and this should help them win a lot too. Dybala is expected to return on October 15 and the match is on October 17. Maybe he can be fit enough to play in this match and his return will have a big importance for Juventus. Maybe Morata won't be able to play but Dybala can contribute to their attacking a lot.

Of course, this match will be a real test for Roma, because so far Roma journey in the league is going quite well, because they have not found a match against a much bigger team, although Juventus this season has been quite down but now Juventus are starting to rise by winning the last three matches, and of course Morinho should be wary of Juventus' revival this season.
I think the match will be quite tight and both teams will definitely try to play their best and it looks like a draw will be the final score of the match.

Juventus is not only dominant at home, because Juventus' home and away records remain the most dominant so far. But yes, the current situation is different where Juventus are still struggling to get full points, of course even though Juventus are playing at home but this is not an easy mission to get full points for Juventus. Indeed, the odds available at the moment are Juventus still the favorites and also, Roma are not too bad either despite losing against Lazio, but Roma were able to put up a strong fight for Lazio yesterday. I also agree with a draw and both teams to score, but I still hope Juventus can win here. Because if that happens, then I'm sure Juventus are back to their best and it could be more interesting for the title race and the top 4 position of course.

Both Juventus and Roma still have enough time to prepare their teams ahead of this match. I think Mourinho will be very wary of a Juventus comeback by concentrating on their defence. This match will be played at Juventus so it is fitting for Roma to prepare for them better. Although Roma have played quite well so far and only lost 2 times in 7 match, they must be quite wary of Juventus because they will also try their best to return to the top 4 position.

[ILuckyGuyI]

As far as I see, one of the most important games of the next weekend is Juventus vs Roma. I really like Juventus lately as they have maintained a superb form so far. They have been winning for three games in the league. And they are going to play even a home game against Roma. So, I think that Roma have a lower chance against Juventus here even though they are not doing too bad this season. I don't expect Juventus to lose the game but I'm not completely sure about a win.

unfortunately, juventus are not in their best form, so to say this is a real test for Roma I don't think it's fitting. all of us know it.The real test to know the strength of Roma as they face teams that are consistent in Serie A like Napoli, Inter, and Milan. if in matches against these 3 clubs win, it can be said that in the first half of Serie A, mourinho managed to change AS Roma. only need results in the second half of the season. But, i agree if they are win vs Juventus, Roma players will have good psychology to face opponents in the current top 3 standings.

[Luzin]

unfortunately, juventus are not in their best form, so to say this is a real test for Roma I don't think it's fitting. all of us know it.

In the last five matches Juventus have never lost. I think they're starting to play well, they're starting to find form. Allegri dared to change several formations of his players, he was clever. At the start of the season they were sharp but they had a weak midfield, in the last games I saw the combination of Locatelli, Chiesea and Bernardeschi playing well. The match result certainly makes the Juve players more confident. Moreover, they will play at home, it will increase their motivation. I think Juve will win even by a narrow score.

I'm sure Pellegrini will be the center of attention of the Juventus players in this match because so far he has scored 4 goals for Roma and is the club's top scorer for the time being this season apart from Jordan Veretout with the same number of goals. If Roma can play like they did at home to Empoli some time ago, then I'm pretty sure they will make it difficult for Juventus to win. Mourinho is a smart coach, I think he will be very motivated to make his team win at home to Juventus.

Mourinho is a smart coach, I think he will be very motivated to make his team win at home to Juventus.

Juventus had a bad start to the season but 3 consecutive wins have given them the morale boost they needed. We all know Juventus to be a team with great defense, but their attack has lost its sharpness a bit after Ronaldo left and Dybala and Morata got injured. I don't know if they will be available for the Roma match and a lot depends on that. If Dybala or Morata or at least one of them can play, a lot of the pressure will be taken off of Chiesa. The match is on 18 Oct, let's hope we are given an eye-pleasing match between the two Italian Giants.

[Kusman]

Lazio - Inter will be a really tough match for both of these teams. Lazio are playing really decent in their home matches and they won against Roma by 3-2 home too. They can do the same to Inter if Inter don't prepare very well for this match. But I must indicate that Inter are much stronger than Roma now. They should be able to make Lazio big difficulties in this match and I don't expect Inter to lose here also.

Because if that happens, then I'm sure Juventus are back to their best and it could be more interesting for the title race and the top 4 position of course.

Both the teams are in good form lately although Roma has lost their match against Lazio previously but still they are no-4 on the table while Juventus have found their rhythm back and got 3 straight wins. SO far Dybala was the main man for Juventus, but I'm not sure if he will be available for the Roma match. Does anyone know if he is returned from the injury or not? And Roma is also looking very fit under Mourinho and I'm expecting a very competitive match. also, my prediction would be this match will be a draw.
