Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[condoras]

I think that the biggest match of the week is absolutely Inter vs Juventus. Inter got a huge defeat against Lazio the last time by 3-1. Actually, they were the team that got ahead first but Lazio made a really great comeback against them. But Inter boosted their morale by defeating Sheriff in the Champions League by 3-1 home. And this might help them play much better against Juventus here too. When it comes to Juventus, they have a really huge streak lately. They won their last 4 Serie A matches and they haven't been losing for 8 matches in their official ones. They won 7 of them which is really perfect. They have a much better form than Inter so this match could be really interesting. Inter won their last home match in the Serie A against Juventus by 2-0. But this time, it looks like the match will be much more competitive and I think it is likely to end in a draw also.

Indeed, one of the biggest matches for this week and for the whole season's Serie A as well (like always).
Inter seems that lose track and even if they win Sheriff (which isn't such a strong team), I doubt that their morale will be boosted so easily. Of course, it was good that they have to face Sheriff after the match against Lazio and not a stronger team. Now they need to focus on this game because Juventus is more than boosted with this "run" / streak that they have. Not sure if it ends in a draw but I'm sure that we will see a very attractive match with goals from both teams.

Juventus have found back their form after a horrible start to the season and Inter has been a title contender from the start of the season. This will be one exciting match, maybe the most exciting match of the week. I wonder if Dybala and Morata both will be fit for the match. This one will be a very important match for both Inter and Juve. Inter will want to make their title run alive and Juve would want to join the title run with this win.

Morata is not at his 100% and Dybala should be recovered but probably will start on the bench.

Juventus is finding itself for sure but has a lack of quality in the midfield, they still, needs 2 top players in the middle to be competitive.

I agree with you about it
maybe two are too many, one would be enough but good and that does not break easily
in any case, if he gets back in shape maybe we see good plays, I'm really looking forward to the moment

Juventus has a very good streak, but you understand that no streak can last all the time. I expect in this match that Juventus will not lose, perhaps win, but the match will be tough. If the Juventus defense can play at its high level, then Juventus will have chances to win this match, but if there are failures, then it will be necessary to look at the situation. Now Inter is not as formidable as it was with Conte, so I think that Juventus has a higher chance of winning this match.

Hope to see a Leicester there one day!

Leicester already won a league, that is way beyond whatever they could imagine, they literally went from championship, to league, to league title in such an insane short span of time, most teams go back to championship in that span instead of league titles, that's incredible. All in all Italy did improved overall instead of just Juventus but that was needed.

Let's take a look at the facts here, we have Juventus winning so many times, and what do they have to show for it outside of Italy? Nothing. With overall league getting better, that means that Juventus needs to be a lot better to win the league, this whole Ronaldo thing wasn't what they expected, neither what Ronaldo expected, so now they are back on track and everyone is better. Italy has better teams like inter, milan, napoli, roma and so forth which will make them better in Europe as well.

That is exactly what I meant when I said I hope to see a Leicester happen in Serie A So this means a team winning for the first time. In which case we have to count out Inter Milan Napoli Roma and well, half of the current league

And to my mind the team most suitable to do it at the moment is Sassuolo. They almost almost made it into Europe and keep improving every season, but winning the title for the first time would be a huge shock for everyone for a team less than ten years in Serie A.

With the current condition of Napoli and AS Roma, it is not impossible for Napoli to win against AS Roma, and vice versa for AS Roma. Napoli wants to stay at the top of the Serie A standings while AS Roma wants to further secure its position in the top 3 standings.

Napoli only lost 2 injured players Adam Ounas & Kevin Malcuit. Meanwhile from the AS Roma side, they lost Leonardo Spinazolla, Nicolo Zaniollo & Chris Smalling.

Smalling and Zaniolo are important for Roma and it is bad for them to play against Napoli without two key players. Spinazzola is their key player too but they began this season without him so it is not a big issue with them. They are familiar with it but Zaniolo and Smalling will damage Roma.

The match between Roma and Napoli is always hot. It is called as Derby del Sole.

Juventus has a very good streak, but you understand that no streak can last all the time. I expect in this match that Juventus will not lose, perhaps win, but the match will be tough. If the Juventus defense can play at its high level, then Juventus will have chances to win this match, but if there are failures, then it will be necessary to look at the situation. Now Inter is not as formidable as it was with Conte, so I think that Juventus has a higher chance of winning this match.

This is a very equal match. They have good players and good forms. I think it is unfair if we assess Inter are stronger than Juventus or Juventus are stronger than Inter. They have same level and this match will be decided by tactics and player performance.

I am not doubtful about defense of Juventus. They are good at defense but their attacking system will have issue with injuries of Dybala and Morata. Only Chiesa and Bernadeschi won't be enough to break the defense of Inter.

I wonder whether Napoli will manage to maintain their winning streak against Roma away in two days. Napoli won 8 games in a row so far. And they are only 3 games away from having a new record in the Serie A. But Roma will be a very tough competitor for them for sure. However, Roma are in a really unstable condition these days. And they lost to Bodo/Glimt by 6-1 today which must be very bad for them. Maybe Napoli can take advantage of their condition and win by one goal at least.

In my opinion, Roma will be a real test for Napoli, because I see Napoli performance so far is quite consistent because indeed they have only faced a team whose quality is relatively below them, and Roma is the first big team that Napoli will face this season.
I think Roma big defeat in European competition will not disturb Rome, because in the match against FK Bodo/Glimt, the Roma squad lowered their second tier and of course this will not be done by mourinho against Napoli later, Precisely in this case Roma really benefits because at least the Roma main squad has enough rest time to recover their stamina, while Napoli, who are also new to the European League, lowered their main squad so they only have a little time to restore their stamina against Roma.

Ramsey and McKennie are reported will be released by Juventus in the January transfer market. Ramsey has rarely played, especially since he was very often get injured. What is surprising is that the injury problems that often occur in Dybala are predicted to make Juventus consider selling him. however, I'm not sure about the rumors about Dybala, because so far Dybala is an important player for Juventus. What do you think if Juventus selling dybala?

I don't think Juventus should or will sell Dybala because he has always been an important player for them. He has always been performing for Juventus. It is the injuries that are holding him back. About Ramsey, I think they can afford to sell him as he is rarely played, but in the case of Dybala, they shouldn't sell him unless Dybala gets homesick somehow and demands to leave. Then they can always look for other options. But right now I think Juventus should give Dybala some time.

If Juventus have found a suitable replacement for Dybala then it's possible that he could be thrown out as well if the injury is prolonged but I think he can recover and play an important role for Juventus because he is a sharp striker.
It's just a rumor so I don't think Juventus will sell him any time soon because Dybala fits perfectly with Chiesa or Morata.

If the Ramsey is sold, is there a replacement for it?
Or has Juve already determined the candidate?

Torino - Genoa

It's an interesting game, I bet on Torino to win, and I hope Torino can win. Genoa is a team that has scored a lot of goals in the last games, in a way that makes me a little worried, but if Torino can have a good defense they have great chances of winning

Torino is at home and are at advantage. However, the first half just ended, while Torino is leading with 2 goals. They are dominating, but I think they need to play more carefully in the second half. Torino will be at the 10th position on the standings, but that is if they can maintain their winning till the end of the match. Genoa is probably in their worst form, and have only won 1 match so far this season. Maybe they will bounce back in the second half and equalize the match.

Dybala has made a big contribution to Juventus in recent season and has become one of the most important players for Juventus. I don't think Juventus will sell Dybala in the near future and replace him with another suitable player because he can still be given an important role by Juventus to make this team win the match. Sometimes injuries are a factor in why important players are sold, but I'm not sure that will happen to Dybala and Juventus.

You know, Dybala is still an integral and important part of Juventus. Though he is not their main striker, he plays more of a roll of a 2nd striker or a support striker, there is no doubt in his capabilities. Last few seasons he hasn't been able to shine so much is because the scoring duty was on Ronaldo. Now that he's gone, Dybala now has the scoring duty again. Hope he returns soon on the pitch and shows what he's capable of. And about the Ramsey transfer, I don't know much about it.

Torino 3 -  2 Genoa

 

Torino was winning in a way that seemed comfortable, but Genoa as I imagined managed to score a lot of goals, I was shaken thinking the game could end in a draw, I'm glad Torino won that game

[ILuckyGuyI]

Roma - Napoli game is one of the biggest games of this weekend I believe. Napoli are going to look for a way to maintain their win streak (8 wins currently). They are 3 wins away from setting a new win-streak record. But Roma is a very tough competitor for them as it will be an away game for Napoli also. On the other hand, Roma don't have a good run lately. And they got a huge loss against Bodo/Glimt by 6-1 in the Europa League in their last game. I wonder whether we will see a struggling Roma here. If we do, then Napoli really can get their 9th win in a row. Napoli won their last away game against Roma in the Serie A by 2-0. They can make it again.

Dybala has made a big contribution to Juventus in recent season and has become one of the most important players for Juventus. I don't think Juventus will sell Dybala in the near future and replace him with another suitable player because he can still be given an important role by Juventus to make this team win the match. Sometimes injuries are a factor in why important players are sold, but I'm not sure that will happen to Dybala and Juventus.

His contract is expiring in June 2022.

Juventus and Dybala were talking about 2 years for a renew of his contract, he wanted 15m € as salary in 2020 (30 with taxes).

Juventus said no, 10m as Maximus. Now if Dybala wants to stay he will take the offer otherwise if he finds something better for him he is free to leave.

[Pmalek]

Ramsey and McKennie are reported will be released by Juventus in the January transfer market. Ramsey has rarely played, especially since he was very often get injured.

There were some rumors that Newcastle was interested in both Ramsey and Rabiot, but I am not sure how reliable those are. The biggest problems with both players are their salaries. Both earn plenty of money, which makes them unattractive for many teams. However, teams from the English Premier League can easily afford them. Ramsey doesn't play a big role in Juve's plans and it wouldn't be bad if he got off-loaded abroad. Rabiot is part of the team plans and will cost more. I doubt either of the two will leave unless Juventus finds suitable replacements.  

What is surprising is that the injury problems that often occur in Dybala are predicted to make Juventus consider selling him. however, I'm not sure about the rumors about Dybala, because so far Dybala is an important player for Juventus. What do you think if Juventus selling dybala?

I don't think he will be sold because his contract expires at the end of the season. Nedved has recently hinted that the club and player have come to an agreement on almost all details regarding the contract extension and there are only a few things that are missing. They would be stupid to let a player like Dybala go for free and I am not sure he wants to.

Torino is better and Genoa has hard time getting out of the relegation zone but 5 goals in that game is something interesting, didn't expect many goals there personally.
Sampdoria 2 - 1 Spezia, a late goal for the away team but the difference between them is neat.

This week we have two very interesting matches here in Italian League first between Roma vs Napoli and then after few hours Inter vs Juventus Both matches going to have some good impact on this league table because Napoli is going unbeaten in 8 matches, and now they have first tasked to beat Roma at their home for their run of breaking record of Roma for 10 unbeaten matches in start of season.

Napoli's record against Roma is very good, and their current form is also good, hopefully they will win and have their run good for next few rounds. In second match Inter vs Juventus this could be anybody game and any result can happen even Inter is clearly hot favorite to win this match.

[Masplanc]

What's the scoreline for sampdoria versus Spezia ?
Did sampdoria grabbed all three points at home?
They be playing very well from the onset, after been held by the visitors for a while,they got to score two goals in the first half of the game.
They had the highest chances created in the game during the first 45 minutes.
