Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[rahmad2nd]

We have left twelve weeks behind in the Serie A and there is still an equal-points situation for Napoli and Milan at the top. They both won ten times and drew with their opponents two times. Napoli did this by scoring a little less but conceding very few goals. Milan scored two more goals than them but they are much worse than Napoli when it comes to defense. However, both of these teams are the best so far that's for sure. They are seven points ahead of their nearest follower which is Inter now.

And at the coming weekend, balances can change as there are really big games like Inter - Napoli and Fiorentina - Milan. Napoli are going to play one of their toughest games of the league. Because Napoli couldn't win against Inter away in the league four times in a row. Inter can make use of this predominance and defeat them here. This could be the first loss ever for Napoli for this season. When it comes to the other game, maybe Fiorentina had a much better start compared to last season. And they are playing home too. But Milan are in a far better condition than them now. And looking at their last head-to-head games in the league, I see that Milan defeated them by 3-2 away. I don't expect Milan to lose and they have a big probability to win also.

In Serie-A I am disappointed to see Juventus perform like this. They are at the 8 positions with only 18 points. They have only 5 matches out of their 12. I thought they are a far better team than this. But congratulations to Napoli and Milan as they have held on to the top two spots off the league. Juventus will play Lazio on the 20th. Lazio is currently in the fifth position. I hope you went as well when this one and move forward in the point table.

Less chance for Juventus can wake up and take good position on fixture standing because left 14 points from Napoli and I think is not realistic if Juventus as one candidate to get scudetto in this year. I know very early out Juventus as champion candidate but looking for how Juventus situation on every match make us believe they can't talk more again on Serie A, just have hope with champion league and have guarantee to next phase.

Its too early to compare Juventus with Napoli. Yes, its really appreciative to see the best performance of Juventus as of now but yes its not the right time to make Juventus on top of Napoli or at the first place. Napoli is far away with their records as of now. Napoli has to loose all the upcoming matches and Juventus has to win all the upcoming match in order Juventus to be on top.

I think not like your prediction looking how bad performance from Juventus on Serie A, many time Juventus failed to get three points and loss from small team, how come they can take position standing from Napoli have consistent performance. I think although too early said with Napoli as scudetto candidate in this season but they can give top performance and always consistent right now until 12 match success win  10 match and only have two draw without loss,

Same here. Even if I like Lazio , I do think Juventus is coming back stronger especially with Dybala being in a great shape and scoring goals so I do expect a game with both teams to score and most likely a Junvetus win.  Lazio is clearly that they focus in Europe League and to get as further as they can in that competition so Serie A is not the first priority right now.

i even think that the match could ended goalless.

why? i see both teams will play it safe and just try to score once and get the 3 points with no further ambition to keep scoring in the match.
juventus will have to face chelsea after the game in midweek which indeed they qualified already but wont give it up easily , witg more focus on getting better in serie A , juventus are really a favorites to win but i prefer with the under 2.5 goals.

In this case, I feel that Lazio will win the match.
because apart from getting full support from the fans, overall they are also quite good for now and quite superior compared to Juventus.

On the other hand, Juventus' defense is still weak and easy to penetrate.
they need to fix this immediately.

I don't think Juventus will easily win against Lazio in an away match. Lazio will surely fight for a winning, because Roma are 2 points behind them, and losing the match can probably lead to Roma overtaking them on the standings. Is quite clearly, that Juventus don't joke with their Champion League matches, and they will be playing against Chelsea 3 days after their match against Lazio. They are currently unbeatable in the Champion League, won all their last 4 matches played so far in the CL. So, they might focus less on this match. However, Lazio haven't lost any of their home matches this season. I think the match is likely to end draw

Juve are going through a pretty tough week at the moment, as you said lazio so far has been very strong at home. on the other hand their goal ratio is quite good this season so they are optimistic to host Juventus. on the other hand juventus also have to rack their brains in rotation so that their players are not too tired because chelsea will be waiting for them at stampord brige which is quite haunted for this season.
the biggest possibility is indeed a draw but I myself prefer lazio in this match.

[Alisha-k]

I think the match is likely to end draw

If this match ends in a draw then those who's betting on X will get a nice profit as the odds are around 3, although Juventus will face a tough match against Lazio and their ranking is not better and their form this season is not that impressive, moreover this is away match for Juve but that doesn't reduce the bookies make Juve as favourites  to win in this big match.

Favorite or not their gap remains thin so, betting on the winning team will still be profitable at 2.xx odds. Although Lazio are good at home I'm personally still not sure who will win this match, but for a goal that might be scored, at least these two teams look capable of doing it. Instead of betting on ML I prefer to bet on both teams to score or about the number of goals like over 2.5 goals or more.

Both teams to score will be more of a reality and an easy prediction and the odd is even more sweet. Predicting a draw is more risky because Lazio has more ranking on the league compared to Juventus. But I'm still open to surprises because it's not always about position on the table the better played team with accurate shots might win the game

[sana54210]

It looks like the match will be tense because both teams are recorded to be still equally strong in head to head from the last 5 meetings between Lazio and Juventus, 2 wins and one draw.
and both determined to win in that match, Lazio are chasing 4th place in the standings while Juventus want to overtake Fiorentina in 7th place, and although Juventus will be the favourites, Lazio is not an easy opponent especially in a very solid defense.

Juventus really needs this though. I mean sure Lazio is not at the top of the league but they do not need to be neither, nobody expected them to be champions this year. Whereas Juventus won the league so many times until last year and now they lost it finally and this season they have 18 points to 32 points at the top. Milan and Napoli could lose 4 games and they would still be ahead of Juventus while Juve wins 4 in a row. That is how much the difference is, 14 points is not easy to close.

Juventus is already at a level where they may even stop working for championship already, they might be looking to be just going to champions league next season as their highest goal. For that to happen they need to win games like this at the very best case.

Allegri will fix this Juventus team if given enough time. There were/are a lot of problem areas in the squad (central midfield in particular) that have been ignored for the last few seasons and I have no doubt that Allegri will fix those issues and restore this team to the level it should be. After a poor start, it is quite evident that fixes are being put in place but Allegri will need a summer transfer window to stamp his identity back onto the team.

To be always the first is constant pressure, and not everyone can handle it. It's good when everything is good, but hard times come and then there are real adherents with the team who are able to go through everything and wait for the moment when the your team is the champion. These are tough times for Juventus, but consider that this team beat Chelsea, who are now the reigning Champions of the Champions League. It's not that simple, but I believe in the team and in Alegre.

[coinlocket$]

Juventus update from national teams. 
Dybala, Bentancur maybe be injured and maybe they will skip the game with Lazio.
Chiesa too got a big hurt but he should be available.



I hate these breakes.

[AakZaki]

^snip~

Milan's performance in the League is so good, it's a reverse in Europe. I think their chances of winning are very open. Fiorentina will not be strengthened by some of their mainstay central defenders. Nikola Milenkovic, Lucas Martinez Quarta and Matija Nastasic were unable to perform due to card accumulation. I heard they only have one 23-year-old Igor centre-back. This weakness must be exploited by Milan.

Then regarding Inter vs Napoli If Inter manage to beat Napoli then they will become the first club to break Napoli's unbeaten record this season. Inter should be able to take advantage of the opportunity to play at San Siro.

It is really nice to have big matches a few weeks in a row. This time, there are 3 big matches as it seems: Lazio - Juventus, Fiorentina - Milan and Inter - Napoli. Lazio are ahead of Juventus considering their place in the table and their form also. Juventus' inconsistency can cause them to get another disappointing result. Milan are far better than Fiorentina now. But I wouldn't like to underestimate Fiorentina also as they are having a good season. But I think that Milan will win. And in the remaining match, Napoli will have a really difficult match. And Inter can even beat them and cause them to have their first loss in this season. I expect each of them to score.

In theory, the most attention-grabbing match will be the match between Napoli and Inter. Inter can really interrupt Napoli's fantastic series like a fairy tale without defeats. Despite my certain skepticism about the prospects of Inter in this post-championship season and the departure of the head coach with a number of key players, Inter makes a good impression and is among the pursuers of the two leaders who broke away from all the leaders, taking the highest of them third place. Moreover, not only will the game take place in Milan, but also the victory of Inter allows you to get closer to Napoli by working and quite winning back four points.

I think in particular since the game against Verona, other teams know that Napoli is also vulnerable. Now that this is also a home game for Inter, it is going to be a very close one. It is going to be anything but an obvious win for Napoli.
Also, the importance of this game for Inter can't be stressed enough. If they win it, it is four points difference to Napoli, if they lose it it is ten points, which would be highly demoralizing for the games to come.

If inter want to keep playing to defend their trophy they must definitely win or at least not lose against napoli، the gab is already 7 points and a lose on that match mean 10 points far from napoli ( and maybe milan too)

Both teams will have offensive attentions on that match because inter must win for the reason above and napoli will surly aim to benefit from the home match to extend the gape with the second
pursuer to 10 points

This week's match is a shame to miss, because this week there are many exciting matches, I focus on the match between Inter and Naples, I really hope Inter can beat Napoli, and can destroy Napoli's unbeaten achievements, and I also hope AC Milan can bring home 3 points, and managed to top the standings..

Milan will be the best beneficiary if the match end on a draw, also inter wining will be better for them but if napoli will manage to win and continue their fantastic rune i believe the players confident will be unbreakable and milan will find many difficulties in the trophy clash with napoli

@Prince Malik these teams maybe effected if their player’s return with an injury from the international break, hence we can only make proper predictions once we get to see their full fit squad. Lastly I just realised that Juventus is 8th and I  can’t believe how low they have fallen, also it’ll take something special from Inter Milan to beat the undefeated Napoli.

Lazio are ahead of Juventus considering their place in the table and their form also. Juventus' inconsistency can cause them to get another disappointing result.

Juventus playing badly in Serie A but is good in the Champions League. They got tickets on the next rounds which looks like they are very focused on the champions league. Maybe something went wrong, Juventus is a big team with a lot of achievements, they should be played consistently in another match, I look at the same formation between matches, maybe the difference is the movement. In the next week, Juventus have taken the opportunity while Immobile was injured.

Nice if Immobile injured because Juventus have less solid defender position right now, The position of the Juventus defense in Serie A this season is very fragile, as evidenced by the 12 games they have conceded 15 goals and almost 1.2 goals for each game, of course the statistics are quite bad for the Juventus defense this season, especially the position of the goalkeeper who often makes mistakes blunders. Now waiting while Juventus can consistent on Serie A where they got all three points on champion league group and success defeat Chelsea.

I would even go so far as to say that Inter must win this one. I don't see them coming back or closer when they don't win this. For Inter it is one of the most critical games in the whole season. It is also about slowing Napoli down. That is a close match up with I think a lot of cards and not too many goals.

With the excellent form from top three: Napoli, AC Milan and Inter Milan and the bad form from Juventus. They don't have good chance to catch the top 3 and Scudetto is outreached target for Juventus in this season. Their realistic target will be the third or fourth position and they have to fight for it. It is not good if they have to wait till the final day like the past season to know whether they can participate in Champions League one season later or not.

In Champions League, Juventus have better performance than I thought. It is contradictory with AC Milan's performance there. In this season, Juventus can be the strongest club of Italy in Champions League.

It will be a big shame if inter lose this game,they need to win it if they have any ambitious of retaining their title, for me they are still the favourite to win this title this term because they have quality players in that team even if they lose Lukaku at the summer they brought in Dzeko and they retain Martinez, I still believe in their project, if they can't win they better draw
