Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[poldanmig]

Milan are on a good run now and they have finally captured the 1st place. But I can't say that they have been better than Inter lately. Milan have newly come out of a bad form and won their last two matches. But Inter won all of their last four matches and they seem really unstoppable for now. Of course, they can't maintain this form forever but it just started turning into the last season.    Milan led the league for some time and Inter got past them. And then we know what happened.  

After being behind Napoli for a long time, Milan finally managed to take advantage of the opportunity from the defeat that was obtained by Napoli against Atlanta yesterday as well as grabbing the top of the standings, in my opinion even though Milan are currently at the top but if you look at the current point difference, of course Milan position is still very vulnerable to being shifted by Napoli and Intermilan later if Milan achieves a negative result in a match.

Quite happy to get Juventus to win because I also bet for Juventus to win by -1.5 @ 1.65, with this result of course Juventus are slowly getting back to the top 4 position. Indeed, the difference in points to get back into the top 4 is still difficult because we know, the 4 teams that are in the top 4 are currently the strongest teams this season in Serie A. So still, Juventus will have difficulties there but that doesn't mean losing hope because after all, there are still many matches ahead which of course their consistency will also be at stake.

Slowly but surely, juventus are starting to show their consistency lately in the league, to be honest at first I didn't think that juventus would be able to bounce back quickly after they had a bad phase at the start of the season, but now allegri's troops are actually able to return to their best form they are now and are starting to return to 5th position and if they are able to continue to be consistent until the end of the season it is certainly not impossible that they can get into the big 4 later.

Of course we are all surprised by Juve's consistent performance in the last few matches where they are slowly crawling to the top of the Italian Serie A standings after beating Genoa 2-0 at the Turin olimpico, although it is very difficult to win the Scudetto title this season but they Of course the focus is to penetrate the Champions League zone next season, considering that it is still so long, of course, if Juventus' performance is always consistent in every match, at least they can penetrate the Champions League zone next season.

Yeah, it is good to see them having positive results and climbing every week. But I don't think that they can finish the season at a better position than the fourth position. Because their performance level is way below Milan, Inter, Napoli and Atalanta now. If they want to do so, they have to improve their game a lot. They are really bad at ending the goal chances up with goals.

Atlanta in the last 5 matches has been on fire, winning all the 5 matches. On the other hand, Napoli has managed to win just 1 match out of the 5matches.
Also, Napoli has some injury situation for some of their key players.
Infact I knew that they will losse their match against Atlanta.
This is because, Atlanta is a club that likes pressing.
Besides, Napoli has a very crucial match against Liecester Fc. This match should be given them sleepless night and inconjuction with the absence of some players.
They are obviously not stable for now.

It seems that Atalanta and Napoli have swapped places - now Atalanta is at its best in terms of readiness and this is reflected in the results, and at the beginning of the season Napoli was in such a state. It will be interesting to see how soon Napoli can recover and how soon Atalanta gets tired with such an energetic game. The distance will show who is spending energy more rationally.
As for the match in the europa league, I think Napoli will not be very tense in it.

Atalanta started impressing me more by their superior performance to Napoli's thanks to the match between them last week. After a very competitive and enjoyable match, Atalanta was the happy side by winning it 3-2. And they succeeded in defeating Napoli even in an away match which I appreciate very much. When we look at the last 5 matches of each team, we can see that Atalanta won all of them but Napoli won only once. Let's see if Napoli will be able to have the same form soon.

I think Napoli should concentrate on their games because they can easily get back to the top again. Being only two points behind the first-placed team which is AC Milan. Napoli should be motivated to do well. But the problem is, you know, Napoli will also have to concentrate in the Europa League match too. Maybe that will give some breathing room for Atalanta.

It is still too early to draw far-reaching conclusions from the past games, because most of the championship is still ahead. Let's not forget how last year Milan also led at a certain stage, but still in the end their sworn friends from Inter became champions. For now, we can just say that Milan looks better and more stable than the other contenders for the Scudetto, but exactly the same thing a few rounds ago could have been said about a completely different club and this club was Napoli It's just that Napoli had a bad week and after a missed victory over Sassuolo, a defeat from Atalanta, which scored a good move under the leadership of Gasperini, followed.

That is true because the point difference is not really too much and any team can make a comeback at any given time. The top four teams have only four points of difference between them which is absolutely nothing at this point of the league. But whatever people say I am still hopeful about Napoli. Yes, they will face some hard opponents but they have the strength that it takes to make a good comeback and regain their position.

The season is still on and Italian league is just too competitive meaning no team stays at the top for too long as points keep shifting the position back and forth. The three teams been Napoli , inter and milan will keep switching positions all through the season until the season finally comes to an end with the leagues title holder emerges

As far as I can judge by the absurd results of Napoli in the Europa League (for example, two defeats against Spartak, who is weaving in the middle of the table in the weak Russian championship), they have long put Serie A as their top priority. The situation in Group C is confusing but I think Napoli will be happy to end its performance there.

Another easy turn for Juventus they must win.

No big games but be aware of Napoli Empoli. Empoli is overperforming so if they have a good day....

[judas]

I wonder what Atalanta will do this weekend. Their next opponent seems to be Verona and it is an away game. Verona played an unbelievable game against Venezia the last time. They turned the game around from a 3-0 score. It was really amazing to watch. I'm curious if they will be able to resist this much powerful Atalanta also. Atalanta won their last 5 games in the Serie A. They will want to maintain the streak but they also could have a hard time here. The safest option to bet on seems to me like both teams to score.

[borovichok]

Juventus really dominated the match against Genoa, Genoa players couldn't shoot at all. So Juventus deserved to win against Genoa,
if the Genoa goalkeeper didn't play well, Genoa would have conceded more than 2 goals. Genoa have to thank Sirigu for making 11 saves,

Juventus slowly but solidly move to top 4. They must do more things and wait for bad results from top 4 to get a post in this range. I am very positively with Juventus in this season. Their players are good and with Max, I am sure they won't be in chaotic tactics like with Pirlo. Max is experienced and already has his old tactic phylosophy.

Sirigu is one of best goal keepers in Italy last 2 decades but his career is covered by Gianluigi Buffon. He does not many chance to play for Azzuri. However, his ability was proven by his time in PSG. PSG don't sign their contract with Sirigu if they don't think he is a good goalkeeper because they are very rich.

I always say this, juventus have the experience and team to enter the top four,am not surprise by there dominance against Genoa at the weekend,they just needs to find this consistency in their game,I see Inter defending their title and AC Milan finishing as runners up with Napoli and Juventus completing the top four.

Just look at the awesome rivalry between the top 4 teams in the league table. There is only a four-point gap between the 1st (Milan) and 4th team (Atalanta). And Atalanta are 7 points ahead of the 5th team that are Juventus currently. Juventus have been obtaining nice victories recently and trying to get closer to the upper places every week. After a nightmare start, they are much better now. But they still don't seem very credible to me. In my opinion, the candidates for the title are Milan, Inter and Napoli.

I wouldn't put past behind Juventus to get closer to these teams neither. They were doing horrible at the start of the season and that is why they are so behind but they had 4 wins in the last 5 games so they are getting closer. I am sure that Atalanta could be getting better and had 5 out of 5, but compared to other three milan lost more points, inter did just 1 point better, and Napoli lost a lot more points, so all in all in the past 5 games Juventus got closer to top 3.

This is why I believe that the more games played, there is a better chance of Juventus doing better as well. Also, I believe it is top 5 and not top 4 that is playing closer to each other, at least right now with the momentum it looks like that but if Juventus starts to lose again, then things may not look as bright as it looks right now, hence why I believe it could be a problem and they need to play decently.

After playing an extraordinary match against Lazio (4-4), Udinese are going to be hosting Milan at this weekend. I wonder whether we can watch a similar match again. But I don't see the probability high. And as Milan have been doing good recently, I'm expecting them to continue to win here also. In their last head-to-head match in this stadium, Milan beat them by 2-1. I'm expecting another win for them.

[Phoenix Anka]

Juventus beat Genoa 2-0.  Lazio beat Sampdoria 3-1 with 3 goals scored in the first half.  Milinkovic-Savic is shown the red card.  Empoli won 3-1 while losing 1-0.  Such were the results of some matches in the Italian league.  The standings are very exciting.  There is a fierce race between Milan, inter, Napoli and Atalanta.

Udinese are obviously losing the match. This is because Milan is coming back to the league with full force. I think they are crashed out of Champions league and did not get slot for the Europa League.
The local league is their only hope for now and Udinese who is not a major contender should not be a stumbling block to them.
They will put themselves together and energy since there  will not be midweek football for them again.

Indeed, the journey of the season is still very long, all the teams that are in the top 5 still have a chance to be able to win the top of the standings, I think the other two teams under Napoli also still have a chance to win the Scudetto this season, in the middle of the season we will see the schedule a tight game and I think for sure a lot of teams will be affected by injured players and the team's performance will decline.

[Rengga Jati]

Another easy turn for Juventus they must win.

Yes exactly, they have bigger chance to win, but let's see if there is no bad surprise on match. Maybe the score will be around 2-0 and win for Juventus.
Other clubs that have bigger chances to win are also following: AC Milan, Lazio, and also Inter Milan.

Indeed, the journey of the season is still very long, all the teams that are in the top 5 still have a chance to be able to win the top of the standings, ...snip

Yeah, moreover if we see the score, it is only different very small numbers.
Even AC Milan is the first top standing, the position may be able to defeat by the next standings because of the small difference. The clubs still have the big chances to defeat and take each other top rank

A fierce race that will be more important when you know that Milan is no longer focusing in Champions League since it was kicked from it without passing to Europa League while Atalanta will play in EL so they will try to reach an advanced stage there which is possible imo. There is also Inter that will continue playing in CL. So Milan is the one that should try to fight for a title and this one couldn't be other than the Scudetto!

[Newlifebtc]

AC Milan should have won the game against Liverpool but failed once more.
They should shift full focus to the Seria A, rather than having divided attention.
Playing European competition can be very hectic, the Europa league is something serious.
