Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

Good news from Dybala, he should be fully recovered for the game between Lazio and Juventus.

Also, he should sign the renew of his contract by the end of the month.

Dybala is a genius player, but he also suffered from similar problems like Coutinho for quite a while. When you saw him performing brilliantly, you couldn't believe he is sitting on the bench the next game. Not the best attitude in training or whatever. But when players like him or Coutinho play their best, they are really unstoppable.

Always good to read about talented players getting out of injury and back on the pitch,,, for us neutrals, every talent like him and Coutinho (why he is benched is such a terrible shame) when they do not play it is a crime to football.

Also I would mention van de Beek and Sancho who sit at the bench at United,,, or worse are even watching from the stands not even being names in the squad. But sometimes I guess you also should blame the players for moving clubs, knowing they already start as first team in their old club.

He should be given more and more playtime. It hurts a player mentally a lot. Because when a player plays really well he tends to think that he will play the next match because of his result. But when he is not starting he starts to doubt the authority's decision and at times even doubt himself. Which can be a cause of bad form.

The chance/hope is still there but it will not be depending on themselves but it will be depending on the result of other teams in the group especially Porto. What they need to do first is to keep the chance open by winning against Atletico in the next match and hope that Porto will not win against Liverpool. Even if they win against Atletico but if Porto can win against Liverpool, means their chance is already gone.

This is an unfavorable condition for AC Milan because they also have to depend on the result of other team. If they win 2 match then they should also openly expect Porto to lose to other team. I just think AC Milan missed a chance, but they can reach the Europa League with a win in their next match.

Currently, Porto has a better head to head record than AC Milan and of course this will make it more difficult for Milan to qualify for the next round in the Champions League, besides that, the Europa League also looks quite difficult for Milan this season, because Ac milan only has 1 point from 4 matches, So I think it's better now for AC Milan to forget their mission in the champions league and focus more on achieving the Scudetto this season which does seem more likely for them to achieve.

Considering all that you have listed, it seems to me that Lazio should be considered the favorite, which means the odds are distorted and in this match it is profitable to bet on the fact that Lazio will not lose. Even if you look at the general statistics, it is obvious that Lazio plays much better - they have more points, and there are almost ten more goals scored.

Juve is not yet stable, Lazio of course should be able to take advantage of this opportunity. Until today Juventus is no longer a strong team in Serie A. They are in the middle, they have not found the original Juventus game. Allegri still hasn't been able to find the best Juventus game like a few seasons ago. Last season Juve managed to win 3-1 at home. But today is different, I guess they will draw.

They still have a chance to go to the Europa League at least, so they shouldn't lose focus on that. While AC Milan is still the best team in Serie A this season by maintaining an unbeaten record, but that does not necessarily make them manage to perform well in the Champions League. I really regret it just because they are in the most difficult group this season in the Champions League.

[Iranus]

Both have the same result on Serie A but have different on EUFA. Maybe have a different level, but when we look at Napoli, Seems they are better than Milan from the consistent games and Strategy. So far Milan only has 1 point, they have to get hard work to get a ticket for the next round in the champions league, while Napoli is not quite bustled which is beneficial for the club to focus on Seri A.

There is no hope for AC Milan to qualify for the last 16 of the Champions League this season because all the team in the group are very strong for them. 1 point from a total of 4 match is a very bad result for a team that has never lost in Serie A. AC Milan's next 2 match will never be easy for them at all, Liverpool and Atletico Madrid will surely do their best to qualify for the round of 16. 1 win and 1 draw will also not see them qualify, but it will be very difficult in my opinion

I think Liverpool will be able to beat Porto. As they have already done it and won by a huge margin of 5-1. I think something similar will happen in that match again. But AC Milan beating Atletico is going to be a tough ask. Last day has to find a way if they want to stay alive in this tournament somehow.

When the division of pot B in the champions league was carried out, I thought AC milan and liverpool would be strong candidates who would qualify for the next phase, considering the experience of both teams in the champions league so far has been quite good, but in fact AC milan is now beyond my expectations , to be honest The last two matches faced by Milan (ATM and Liverpool) were not easy matches, especially the match against Athletico will be played away and this will make AC Milan even more depressed .
My predictions for group B end standings: Liverpool, Atletico Madrid, Porto and AC Milan.

Of course, only a miracle saves Milan after the 1-1 draw against Porto, and the worst part is that the disappointment came after 6 minutes of play and playing at home... in addition to the statistical problem, Milan also have a serious problem. psychological problem in their players, I don't think the players have any hope of being able to reverse this, and self-esteem is the first step to achieving a miracle.... to get both wins and still hope for a combination of games between the opponents.

it's like a stark contrast. saw AC Milan in Serie A doing very well with 12 games without defeat. but in the Champions League, they don't do much. in the same group with Liverpool, Porto, and Atletico, in 4 matches Milan has never won.
a more difficult situation indeed for Milan. especially the next game against Atletico. which I'm sure will play very well and even dominate the game against Milan.

Porto was actually the better team in that match in my opinion. I wouldn't have been surprised if both even won that match. But the only thing about Porter that I can nitpick is is that they played really aggressively and made a lot of fouls. But their offside trap playstyle was really good.

It is very unlikely to see this team qualify for the round of 16 because I believe Liverpool and Atletico Madrid will desperately try to secure 1 ticket to that round. It's hard to say why they lost that mentality in the Champions League that they didn't win a single match. I know they will try their best, but they also need luck and a miracle and hope that either Liverpool or Atletico Madrid fail to secure a ticket.

AC Milan is doing really great in league matches as they are in second place. They even have the same points as Napoli but they are just behind on goal difference. Both of them played 12 matches and won 10 of them and both are run 32 points. AC Milan has their next League match against Fiorentina and I think they will win this match too.

Well, whatever happens in this group I am sure that Liverpool will stay at the top and AC Milan will complete at the bottom. I have some doubts about the second and third positions as there is only a one-point difference between Porto and Atletico Madrid right now. And I have to be honest I was a little surprised to see Porto in front of Atletico Madrid.

AC Milan is familiar with Serie A but they only came back to Champions League this season. They need a few more seasons in Champions League to improve their strength there. They have good tradition to play well in Champions League and are the best Italian club there. However, this time it can be different but fortunately they will come back stronger.

So far AC Milan still managed to play good enough and had their own chance in Champions League but they were lack of something to win matches. It does not mean they are weak or very weak there so I don't think Atletico will easily to dominate against AC Milan.

From all the statistics of course there is a huge difference between Liverpool and Atletico Madrid comparing it to Milan at the moment, this difference is like undeniable unless there really is a miracle coming to win twice with a new heavy team I say Milan is great.

But this is the last point from the remaining 2 matches which is actually very difficult, especially Milan 2 away, which must be passed if it fails to bring points, which means you have to leave and don't get any tickets, including the European league.

AC Milan can't make anything surprise on champion league like what achievement on Serie without loss so far from 12 match success get 10 win and twice draw. I think they have been in hard group stage on champion league and should against with Liverpool and Atletico Madrid make Milan not ready with champion league. Maybe this season they can't take to next stage on champion league and miss opportunity on UEL after position standing on number fourth.

I would like to talk a little about Roma also. After signing Jose Mourinho, the level of expectation from has increased a lot. The supporters started believing in their team more as there was a silver lining for them considering this season. Because they were just terrible in the last season. As you can remember, Roma barely were able to qualify for the ECL by ending at the 7th place and Sassuolo also got the same points.

Considering this season, we can say that they started very well. And people were hyped up about Roma's chance for even the title maybe. But it turns out that they have been quite bad recently. They won only one of their last five games in the Serie A. After losing so many points, the gap with the leader has risen to 13 points now. And we are seeing them at the 6th place. There is still a long road ahead of course as we've left only 12 games. But they must try harder to recover. Otherwise, Mourinho also won't be able to save the team.

They are one of the worst currently in the champions league because they haven't won in 4 match. The other 3 Serie A team currently still have a chance to qualify, but they still have to work hard. As for ac Milan, they are clearly under pressure from the LaLiga giants and the English giants. The surprise may be because they are a consistent team at the moment in Serie A with their wins. It's not weird, but it's a really bad look for the fans

for Roma to be able to be champions, they need to hire good players to score goals, in defense they can be good when they try hard, they can't score many goals when they face big teams like Milan, Napoli, Juventus and others and they manage to have a good defense , but lose and concede a lot of goals when playing against small teams, this has been a big problem for the Roma. I'm even wondering if it's worth betting on roma to win the genoa

Expectations vs reality..
Although Serie A teams aren't consistent at all these years. Juve dropped a lot, Milan doesn't have the effort to keep up till the end, Atalanta impressed us but can't keep successive positive results, Napoli results are unexpected... So technically Roma was seen under Mourinho and his management as the favorite team to lead the table this season but unfortunately this picture crashed after few rounds, badly... I don't blame him although he blame everything other than himself for this as usual, the team needs sometime to play together and to improve but for how long supporters and Roma staff will accept seeing their team failing and risking european competitions..
