Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[babo]

After UCL there is an interesting match between Inter vs Milan. Milan is in second place and Inter in third. Milan's record is quite great, they have never lost in all Serie A matches. But the difference in their points is 7 points, that's quite far. Compete at the San Siro which is their home Inter have the opportunity to damage Milan's record. But maybe Inter will find it difficult Milan are at their best, Inter must kill Ibrahimovic if they want to win in that big match.

Ibra is not an easy player to kill.
He's big, he doesn't simulate .. he fights.
Hurting him would be unsportsmanlike, so he'll be hard to stem. Maybe push him to foul, so that he gets a yellow card and is forced to calm down (or be substituted) but even that is not sporty.
As a coach, I wouldn't know how to stem someone like Ibra.
Its hard

It's difficult for Milan to make a comeback in the UCL and I don't think Milan have to force it anymore because it will only be useless and dangerous, because if Milan keep pushing to win in the UCL, at least the players will be vulnerable to injury. We can see the next schedule for Milan, after battling against Porto and in four days time later Milan have to play against Inter and that is the Derby della Madonnina. The Derby della Madonnina match is certainly a match with high tension, so I say Milan no longer have to chase to win in UCL, Milan can let it go and come back next season even better in UCL.

Milan performance in the league this season is indeed extraordinary and in my opinion the scudetto is more realistic to be achieved by milan this season than the champions league trophy, with a draw against porto of course the chance of milan qualifying for the next round of the champions league is very small right now, now milan are at the bottom of the group B standings after winning one draw in 4 matches, and to qualify Milan must be able to win in their last two matches in champion league.
So now it's better for milan to focus more on winning the scudetto and as you said maybe next season they will have more luck in the champions league .

If I were the coach I'd rather mark Ibra with 2 or 3 players rather than do something unsportsmanlike. Because of the personality he has, he will have a huge influence if such things are done. Yes, Ibra will play a vital role for Milan as he already has 3 goals in 5 matches even at this age. I think Milan will win this over Inter as they have been phenomenal in the league unlike in the CL.

Milan performance in the league this season is indeed extraordinary and in my opinion the scudetto is more realistic to be achieved by milan this season than the champions league trophy

Milan only returned to Champions Leauge and many of their players did not any experience there previously in their career. This season can be a test for Milan and their players, to get experience and for a better return next year. With their performance in Serie A, I think they will get a good position in Serie A and will be eligible for Champions League next season.

Ibra is not an easy player to kill.
He's big, he doesn't simulate .. he fights.
Hurting him would be unsportsmanlike, so he'll be hard to stem. Maybe push him to foul, so that he gets a yellow card and is forced to calm down (or be substituted) but even that is not sporty.

Ibra is confident in himself and does not like to be undervalued. If you understand him like Mourinho, value Ibra at this right level, he will give you good return. Ibra respects Mourinho and can play for Mourinho if he can. Mourinho can do conflicts with players when results are bad but he is very good to give them mental therapy to boost their motivation. He is an example for a coach can control and use Ibra.

One of the biggest teams of the league, Juventus are going to be hosting Fiorentina this week. Although they are one of the most performing teams in the Champions League right now, they were quite bad in the Serie A recently. They started getting unsatisfactory results again and this makes the supporters really worried. Because they didn't win any of their last 3 league matches. And they are on a 2-match losing streak also. This is one of the must-win matches for Juventus even though Fiorentina are three points ahead of them. I expect to see each team scoring and Juventus to win also.

I agree with you, ibrahimovic is a typical hard player and is also very insistent in every match   play, with a large and stocky posture of course it will be very difficult for opposing players to knock him down and inevitably force opposing players to commit enough fouls hard to stop Ibrahimovic's move.

Fiorentina got a better position in the standings with 6 wins and 5 losses. but Juventus have to win in this match if they don't want to fall further behind Fiorentina. it could be that if they lose, Juventus can drop from the top 10 of the class and it will be a bad season for Juventus.
Juventus has the advantage of playing at home, and this must be used by the team. do not let Fiorentina get a quick goal. because it could be a bad night for Juventus.

And you know what, when I checked the bookies it turned out that Inter are the favorites to win this match, honestly this is quite surprising for me because in league Milan performed quite well compared to Inter and moreover they were the hosts. Could it be because of H2H? where Inter have a better record than Milan, who's make bets for Milan will generated good profit if Milan win

I don't know but I'm not really a fan of making predictions based on H2H. I think the recent form should be taken into consideration more than H2H. And Milan has been far better than Inter in the league. Yes, they are not playing well in the Cl, but in the league, they are unstoppable. Hoping for a great match.

[jakdanyel]

Milan - Inter seem to be the biggest one of this match weekend. Milan are in a really wonderful form right now as they have the same points as Napoli which are the leader. Inter are following them 7 points behind. I wonder if Milan's extraordinary form will continue here too. But they have a really tough work ahead. Inter succeeded in defeating Milan away in their last rendezvous in the Serie A. Maybe this won't happen again but the match could end in a draw.

Inter Milan has just reaped positive results when frustrate the Sheriff's resistance in the Champions League. High player confidence from Inter Milan's will give additional strength to perform better against AC Milan. On the other hand, AC Milan have had an unsatisfactory result, almost lost against Porto, and the potential for failing to advance to the next phase of the UCL will dampen their confidence against Inter a bit. we know, the result in Italy was in contrast to the UCL, but when it comes to motivation and confidence, it often changes the game. Inter have a target to shift the position of AC Milan, if they win this match, it will at least reduce the difference points to approach Milan.

[Vdecso]

Milan really have one of their toughest matches this weekend against Inter. Things have been so far so good for Milan. They won ten times in their eleven Serie A matches and lost none until now. This match has the potential to be their first loss but I still want to believe in Milan here. Maybe they will have a really big difficulty against Inter but they should be able to get at least one point.

we three think the same about him
I repeat, I sometimes dislike his behavior, but at least he is genuine and sincere
let's say that he, Ibra, won my trust and respect when I learned that he gave a lot of money to orphans and when, in full pandemic, he cried because he could not see his beloved son

these are the people I love, passionate and true people

This match has the potential to be their first loss but I still want to believe in Milan here. Maybe they will have a really big difficulty against Inter but they should be able to get at least one point.

Interestingly enough, despite the 7 points advantage and home play, Milan is ranked worse than Inter:
3,00 - 3,65 - 2,31
In my opinion, there is logic in such odds, but I would rather make them like this:
3,65 -  2,31 - 3,00
It is unlikely that someone will want to concede in this match, most likely it will be a closed game, perhaps it will end with a score of 0-0.

Honestly this is a difficult match to predict because even though Milan haven't lost so far the fact that the odds available now show that Inter are the favourites, even if it's slim. But still, I personally can't predict who will win, but considering that both of them can still concede goals, it is very possible for both teams to score in this match. So, maybe it would also be a good option to bet if we are neutral, but if you are a fan between them then I think betting ML for them can be good too as both have chances to win too.

Both teams has what it takes to win but and it's more difficult to predict which team between Milan and inter would lose. I just wish the match would be in favor of Milan but the most aggressive attack might stand a better chance winning. This is just not the usual prediction that seems usual and easy

Juventus are sixteen points behind the leader now. This is really terrible for a team like Juventus. They have made one of their worst starts to the season. Even if they have Allegri as their manager, they are struggling to recover now. They lost their last two matches. Fiorentina is another tough target to beat for them. Fiorentina are not playing like they were in the last season. They are stronger. I have my doubts about Juventus to win this. But we'll see.

It is not clear why Juventus plays better in the Champions League than Serie A? Serie A, relative to other top championships, does not seem to be such a difficult championship. It would be logical to assume that after a slight recession, the team will get better, but again a series of incomprehensible losses. Yes, the gap between the leaders is now very large, I would say too large, that they would hope for something good. I don’t know what to expect from them anymore, we’ll just wait and see.

Juventus certainly has some other goal! I absolutely do not believe that all the blame for these bad plays is due solely to the coach! Predictions for this weekend? I think it will recover, little by little

Matches can be decided by a fantastic moment or a terrible mistake so in my opinion, generally Juventus did not play too bad. I meant now they are not strong to dominate games and have clear win and they are running on the verge between winning and losing.

Other reasons can be clubs in Italy are more familiar with Juventus while opponents in Europe are not. So Italian clubs can better to constrain strength of Juventus and when Juve are not stronger enough like in the past, more bad results come naturally.

In Champions League, I agree the is big gap between Juve and top clubs there but in tournament like this, everything can happen. Juve have enough good players to win the title as we see Atalanta did went too far in Champions League 3 years ago.

Indeed, the main focus right now is the Champions League, but not only that because Jeventus definitely wants to win and return to the top 4 of the Serie A standing. AC Milan is strong in Serie A but sluggish in the Champions League, this is different from Juventus who are strong enough in the Champions League but weak in Serie A. It's a bit strange, but that's how it is.
