Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

Fiorentina are having an easy game now. The first half ended by Fiorentina's 1-0 lead. And they had a dominant game in the first half too. Salernitana are one of the weakest teams of the league and they have a really tough job to do here. And most probably, they will be losing this game too. Fiorentina are performing much better compared to their performance in last season. They wouldn't miss this opportunity.

Former AC Milan player Giacomo Bonaventura managed to score against Salernitana in the 31st minute and put Fiorentina ahead with a score of 1-0 until the 45th minute. Fiorentina should have easily beaten Salernitana with a big score of at least 3-0 or 4-0 considering The position of the team he is currently facing is at the bottom of the standings.

I have heard that teams that make it into the Champions League playoffs earn about 20 million euros, while the teams that win the europa league earn 15 million euros. Taking into account the fact that there will be serious competition in the final stages in the europa league, the economic sense of participation in this tournament really looks doubtful.

I don't really know in nominal terms but AFAIK when they participate in the group stage they will get a bonus of 15.64 million euros after that if they qualify for the last 16 they will get 9.6 million euros and a bonus of 10.6 million euros when they made it to the quarter-finals (please correct me if I'm wrong).
This is quite a big deal, especially for teams that are really struggling financially.
Competition in the Europa League I feel this will be right because there are indeed some big clubs like dortmund and barcelona now moving there

These are fixed payments, there are also payments that are made based on the club's rating (the club with the lowest rating has a coefficient of 1, the club with the highest 32 - you can see the rating here https://www.uefa.com/nationalassociations/uefarankings/tenyears/) As you can see Barcelona has almost the highest rating and would receive a large share of this fund. Plus, the club receives payments from a separate marketing fund. In total, Barcelona lost more than 20 million without reaching the round of 16.

Thank you @KTTChampions for adding my insight in this matter. It means that they now inevitably have to be able to bring the championship title at UEL because with that at least they can minimize losses.
But on the other hand, I actually hope there will be surprises from Serie A teams like Atalanta and Naples because indeed they are now representatives of Italy and they are quite promising in Serie A.
I expect more from these two teams

the highlight of the day in the italian league will be played between milan and udinese. the champions league adventure for milan ended badly (disappointment, they finished last in the group). now their only goal will be a league title in serie a. players like calabria, castillejo, giroud, kjaer and rebic will not be able to play due to injuries. but i think they will retain their leadership position by winning the udinese match. milan is the favorite of the match for me.

Many important olayer injury I think Milan will difficulty against with Udinese, although has top position standing right now is not make Udinese worry, Milan have bad performance right now after failed on first champion league after missing more than seven years and back to champion leafue but can't past knock out group stage.

[dustboy]

Juventus is struggling hard today, less than 5 minutes left in the normal time but the score is still 1-1. They played very bad today especially after Dybala went out due to injury in the early minutes. Venezia in other side show a good play, they can create many chances to score goals, better team coordination. What a shame to Juventus if they cant win this match.

[Tumanggor]

Milan's next opponent is Udinese today. It may be an away game but it doesn't matter for Milan. As long as they give their best in this game, Udinese are not a team that they cannot defeat. As Milan are eliminated from the Champions League also, their main focus is going to be the Serie A. I think that Milan will defeat Udinese by a one or two-goal difference.

udinese is currently ranked 15th and even so they should not be underestimated by milan because anything can happen

especially in today's match udinese as the host, it is certain that they will fight it out with milan

[terrorJR]

In today's matches I bet on the favorites: Fiorentina, Juventus and Milan. Fiorentina, unexpectedly occupying the high sixth position in the table, will host the weakest team in the league, Salernitana. They should have easily get 3 points. Juventus and Milan play away but with much weaker rivals, so they have to win such games if they want to keep their places in the table.

I dont think juventus and fiorentina will find difficulties winning today their opponents are teams that are struggling at the end of the table with both of them not able to win for at least the last three games but milan game is another story udinese are a really tough opponent to crack and milan are sometimes unstable and show really poor performance so i think the outcome today depends on how milan team enter this game.

the match was over and as you said Fiorentina had a great success overtaking Salernitana, although they struggled a little in the first half but experience distinguishes all Salernitana from losing focus in the second half so they were rewarded with a goal that could have been anticipated well.

But it's different from Juventus I don't know what happened in this match, they were too busy attacking so they forgot the defensive area which made them punished by Aramu with a counter goal and the result was a draw. This is a loss for Juventus

I said in the previous posts for this match that Juventus will have a difficult match in an away game against Venezia and they did.They only go 1 point and continue to play awful football.Morata was able to score finally but even with im waking up a little they cannot win.

[coinlocket$]

Another disappointing result for Juventus who drew 1 to 1 in the field of Venezia.

At the moment the race for fourth place and therefore for access to the next Champions League seems increasingly difficult.
At this point, one of the few alternatives is to buy players in the next market session.

Dybala was injured again and with Chiesa already broken, Juventus has no imagination.

I understand the difference between Roma and, for example, Chelsea, when the Chelsea management allocates a lot of money for the purchase of players and Mourinho immediately makes Chelsea the leader of the EPL, there was nothing like that. But I understand that even despite the absence of such major infrastructural changes, we must see the influence of such a charismatic coach like Mourinho, even with the same line-up. Maybe we will see it in the future (or it is already, but I look bad).

Every team that Mourinho goes after Porto's fairytale success, makes at least one major transfer, and as far as I remember Roma doesn't have the money to make such a transfer/ trade. So unless he pulls a rabbit out of his hat, like a youngster from academies or something (?), he can't change much. Without some well-pointed transfers, Roma will have to wait...

I really doubt that they got Mourinho to get a championship, I mean that would be great but they were far away from championship before him and with just one single manager change, it is doubtful that you can suddenly turn into a contender type of team. However, if the team was 7th last season, and they paid Mourinho so much money and he is considered one of the best ever, then he should have taken the team somewhere higher than 7th this season and so far he hasn't.

The season is not over yet and maybe he will reach one of those places in the future but so far he hasn't done anything like that. This is why I could understand the disappointment people have with him, he just needs to do a lot better.

I also think the match will be tough. Udinese will definitely struggle for at least a draw point. However, both teams really needs more points. Udinese performance this season have been poor. They only won 3 out of the 16 matches Udinese has played so far. While AC Milan are in their best form. They are presently the leader on the Serie A standings. But, they shouldn't underrate their opposite, and have to be well prepared.

For real, what the hell is wrong with Juventus? They couldn't even beat Venezia today although most of us were waiting for a nice win for them. They turned down a big opportunity to maintain their win streak. They would have increased it to three games. This kind of games are like a gift for Juventus to continue to get closer to top places. But if they continue to make simple point losses, they can't do this.

Yes, but we know many examples when there were a lot of purchases but there was no result (for example, City, which began to give results not immediately after a large investment). In the case of Mourinho, there was always a breakthrough result - the championship with Chelsea, the Champions League with Inter, etc. I hope that he will still be able to achieve something with Roma.
Juventus, instead of approaching the leading group on an easy calendar, is losing points

Even though Venezia suffered 3 defeats in a row before playing with Juventus, it means that Venezia is in bad form. But Juventus couldn't take
advantage of this, it should be with the quality of the players Juventus had, they could easily win against Venezia. Even though Juventus took
the lead in the first half, but Juventus lost concentration in the second half and finally Venezia could make the match ended in a draw.
Of course it's a very bad result for Juventus, they shouldn't have thrown away any points. Because if Juventus really wants to enter the top 4
and play in the Champions League next season, Juventus should not lose too many points. Especially against a weak team like Venezia, they don't
need to lose points, hopefully Juventus learn from their mistakes and can play more discipline in the next match.

Udinese is leading the 1st half with a goal against Milan and bit surprising. Beto has scored the goal for Udinese. Really fantstic. Milan is really the best and strong team and yes their consecutive best performance must be shown winning in this match or Inter would just up to the 1st place in the table if they win tomorrows match against Cagliari who is in 18th place in the table. There are lot chance for Inter to win. So today Milan has to keep up their best play.

With them losing 1-0 with what i was afraid i dont see them honestly winning this game in the end. If they draw this match it would be good just to avoid defeat. If Milan losses this would give other teams a big advantage to overtake them in the league

It's like you say it. An investment. A team that makes more than 6-7 transfers has more chances to find a backbone, a leader, a "talent". Even if some of these purchases don't work out. By investing in 2 players and waiting to have 100% success isn't going to happen. That's something that Mourinho knows very well and that's why he grumbles for transfers at every chance. IMHO with the current Roma roster, Mourinho doesn't have many chances to achieve something big.

[Slow death]

Venezia 1 - 1 Juventus



 

big disappointment, honestly it's a big disappointment, i lost my multi because juventus can't even beat a weak team like that, really as a juventus fan i must say they're at rock bottom, in the next games i'll refrain from betting on juventus

I don't know where the fault lies as a coach because I think Mourinho is by far one of the best coaches in Europe. He's had success at Real Madrid and also Chelsea but not with Manchester United but I really want to know if he's not that interested in winning titles or if Roma don't have the right players to do it.

To achieve good quality, a team must have good cooperation between players and coaches. Maybe Mourinho did not get the full trust of his players which could also affect the team's performance. Ya, this is just my guess.
