Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[laurenB7742]

It's true, among the teams that are in the top 5 Juventus are the fewest in the number of goals, and until half this season they have not found a solution in attack, Napoli may not be very good in the last few games but their defense is quite solid, it's very possible this match ends goalless.

Napoli may be able to score because so far they have collected 35 goals in their last 19 match. Maybe Juventus is difficult to score because Napoli is a team with a strong defense so far in Serie A and Juventus also don't have a high number of goals, but I don't believe this match will end in a goalless draw. If Juventus manage to score, Napoli will also score.
But considering Napoli are not at their best at the moment then Juventus might be able to win this match. This is strongly supported by the good performance of Juventus in the last few matches.

Juventus is currently in its best form after achieving 5 positive results in its last 5 matches, while Napoli actually experienced a slump after failing to maintain team consistency ahead of Christmas, the two teams were indeed in very different performances in the previous league, but now they are in same the trouble just before the match, several Juventus and Napoli players were threatened with missing the match due to covid and obviously this would make the two teams not field their best teams, so from that factor I think the match will end draw.

I personally don't think that the match will be a goalless draw. Yes both the teams have a very good defense and especially Juventus are known to be a team with good defense,

but also Napoli have a very good built up to their attack and are quite deadly in the attacking third. I think that it will be a low-scoring game and a lot of the game's result will depend on who gets the first goal. The first goal will decide the tempo of the game.

You are right. Although now Napoli is not in good form. But they should not be ignored. We saw their potential early in the season. They have the ability to win against any team. But the players have lost form badly. The coach should start all over again. Players need to be inspired. I think they need to change their match streategy. The coach is responsible for bringing the players back to form. He is failing in his duty.

If Juventus underestimate Napoli it means Juventus is trying to commit suicide in that match later. But what is certain is that neither Juventus nor Napoli will underestimate each other so that both team must have great motivation to play with their best performance.

This is their first game in early January for both teams, so anything is still possible even if Napoli were not at their best before. Getting back to top form is a desire, so players need to be motivated to do so throughout the match.

Wow, this is bad news for Juventus especially before such an important match. If one of the players of the main squad goes to quarantine, then the plans for the game could collapse. There are 3 days left before the match, and if the players do tests every day, then the news of a new isolation may appear at any time. If I remember correctly, Juventus' odds have not changed yet - the bookmakers are offering 1.9 for its victory.

It said Chiellini trained today. So of course, there will probably be more of Juventus' main players who may be put into quarantine, but if that is a large number of people exposed then the match may be postponed. But hopefully that doesn't happen, considering they are athletes who certainly have better and stronger immunity.

I doubt that professional athletes have better immunity than the average healthy person, but that's another story. The question is different - even if they quickly suffered the disease, then they will not be able to quickly return to the game due to the quarantine rules? I know that they are different from country to country, but if the disease is detected now, then by the 6th the quarantine period will clearly not be enough.

Yes, you are right. Napoli have the ability to beat any strong team. Although they are out of form now, they have scored six more goals than Juventus this season. From this it is easy to understand that their forwards are not weak. However, Napoli have conceded the fewest goals in Serie A. Their defense is much stronger.

This is their first game in early January for both teams, so anything is still possible even if Napoli were not at their best before. Getting back to top form is a desire, so players need to be motivated to do so throughout the match.

Napoli are not in form, they have to return to form. And Juventus is in good form now. So it is difficult to predict the result of this match. Anything can happen in this match. But I want to see at least 3-4 goals from this match.

Yes, that is the hope of the supporters. However, since the match will take place on January 7th, I hope both teams don't have any Covid-related issues. I'm looking forward to this big match, will probably try to watch it even though it will play late for my timezone.

But before that, AC Milan vs Roma is no less interesting to discuss. Both teams are struggling to maintain their best form, but since AC Milan are more productive scoring goals, I hope they can win the match. But if Inter win at away against Bologna then I don't think we will see a big change in the table even if AC Milan win.

Juventus - Napoli game is on the way now. This is another superb game of the new week. I don't see any team being the clear favourite side. Neither Juventus nor Napoli are much stronger than the other. If we were able to see the Napoli at the beginning of the season, then they would be definitely the favourite here by far. But their recent performance is really poor. And Juventus are on the rise these days. But they are also having some problems on scoring goals from time to time. A draw seems to be fair for a game like this I think.

Napoli performance lately have been poor, they are indeed having difficulties in scoring in their matches lately. And also lost their last match to weak Spezia. But, I guess Napoli will struggle to win against Juventus. Therefore, Juventus have to the well prepared. However, Juventus are quite in good form, and won't want to lose against Napoli. Nevertheless, Napoli are presently 3 points behind AC Milan on the standings, while if they eventually wins, they will probably be having the same points with AC Milan.

This is actually one of the important games for Juventus in the Serie A. They have a really good streak now and it would be great for them to maintain it by a game like this. Napoli is one of their most difficult opponents now despite their poor condition lately. In case Juventus somehow win this, then they would be more effective in their next games also. But they would still be inadequate in their midfield and offense because of the quality of their players. I hope that they can add some new players in January to strengthen the positions. But I guess they won't before the summer.

The game should be good, and how quickly everything changed in the Italian championship, until recently Naopli was the leader and Juventus was at the bottom of the standings. And now, if Juventus can win, they will lag behind Napoli by only 2 points. Although I am still disappointed with Juventus, and hoped for much better results after a disastrous start. Who knows, maybe Juventus will still be able to improve their results.

This break is creating some serious problems for different teams in Europe as now latest news is Massi is also positive and now can't join his team for some time but good thing happening here in Italian League they have some better situation and until now no positive with this all games going on their timetable with we have 2 big games first one AC Milan vs Roma and secondly Juventus vs Napoli for these both matches home teams are favorite and having better chance of win because Roma current form is not good specially their away form is very poor so most chances AC Milan will be in hunt of Inter for title and in second match Juventus is going to face unpredictable Napoli which is drop from first to know at third need some good matches for having back in hunt for title race which is now very difficult for them with some good number of injured players.

No games until Thursday in Italy but we will be full of games that day. There will be games in 5 different times so we can watch a lot of good matches. Of course the best one is Juventus and Napoli game. The last 4 games always home team won the game but this might change this time. I expect a stronger Napoli, they need 3 points after the poor performance of last 5 games. Juventus won 4 of their last 5 games while Napoli only won 1. You may say Juventus have more advantage but I feel like we see better Napoli. Osimhen is still out though, Mertens should do the job.

if mourinho puts a good defense in his team then milan will not score a goal and knowing that milan has problems in the defense then roma can take advantage of that and score a goal and with that roma would win this game. I won't bet on this game, I'd rather just watch the game, that's because this is a high risk game, not even in the goal market I prefer not to bet

The problem is that their current performance is erratic which means that Milan will be slightly underdog.
Besides that, the San Siro this season is still quite haunted for several teams in Serie A.
On the other hand, this does not mean that Milan is superior here because their performance in the last few matches is also less consistent.
but i will start a risky bet by betting on milan in this game

[KTChampions]

In my opinion, Juventus has no less chance of losing. If you remember recently, Napoli beat Milan away and in that match the majority considered Milan to be the favorite, but Napoli played competently and won the game. I think the same scenario could be repeated here - Napoli could win 1-0 or draw 0-0.

at least they have the advantage of playing at home in this match and maybe this will be profitable and at least juventus can take 1 point here even 3 points maybe they can get.
not without reason, we see Napoli's game in the last few games they are far from consistent which will definitely affect their game.
I personally still believe that Juventus will take the points here

Home play gives certain advantages, but here they will be minimal - because the match will take place after the break and Napoli will have enough time to prepare for it. Plus, considering that Napoli will be satisfied with a draw, and Juventus will have to win, plus the fans will put pressure on it and force it to run forward, then I would say that Napoli will be in a more comfortable situation than Juventus.

Milan slightly underdog? Never at home and definitely not according to the odds I can see right now though and it was the same a few days ago, they are still very much the favorites,,, even if not by much. Which then makes sense to bet on the opponent for 50% more winnings? As risky as it can be to bet on Milan this season,,, even riskier to bet on Mourinho. BTTS is the most sensible option for this match I would say.

There has been a big decrease in Lazio's performance in this season of the league. But their recent results weren't very bad. They lost only once in their last five matches. But a tough match is waiting for them now. They are going to host Empoli in two days. Empoli could be having one of their best times in the Serie A after years. They are right behind Lazio in the standings now. But their last result was really bad against Milan. They lost 4-2 home. Maybe Lazio can benefit from this and make their win streak three matches.

With AC Milan current home form and Roma away form both are on level but with AC Milan is having some better record for playing aggressive games and doing goals I am also feeling they can win this match because last defeat against Napoli was a wake-up call for them if they need to be at second place then surely they need to do some better against team like Roma otherwise now few teams already in good form for taking their place and dropping them from their dream of having their chance for another season into European connection.

Roma having some strange results in this season as losing and having draw matches against low rank teams giving them very poor run into Italian League.

Yes, quite impressed when Empoli played away against Napoli and Empoli could beat Napoli 1-0. But maybe it was just luck because Empoli was then held to a draw by Spezia but strangely, the goals that were created for both teams were own goals. Indeed, it still can't be used as a benchmark but considering Lazio dominate head to head and also, in fact Lazio this season has been the best team when playing at home because Lazio so far this season have only lost once at home. I think that factor can ensure Lazio will win in this match, I have no doubts about it.

In general, AC Milan have both better players and better form than AS Roma so they will be a more favorite team in this match. Gamblers will make more bets on AC Milan than on AS Roma. I agree and I believe that AS Roma will not have an easy match and will have to fight with their best to get any point from AC Milan.

Roma having some strange results in this season as losing and having draw matches against low rank teams giving them very poor run into Italian League.

They are not weak but they are not strong enough and they are very unstable with their performance. After a good match, Roma can have a terrible match. It won't help them to go far and currently they are falling in top 4 race with Atalanta, Juventus and Napoli.

[LUCKMCFLY]

I think AS Roma can get three points although AC Milan as heavy team and have great position standing than AS Roma right now, but match still seven days later and both team can take many days for getting rest before this match begin, except other league have begin Serie A still waiting next week for first match on second half season starting. I think will get many surprise looking second half all team will working hard exactly for relegation team how they can exist on Serie A next year and keep get three points at every match.

but at the moment they are playing at home which incidentally is something that will be superior because it is in the full support of the supporters.
I feel with Roma's performance which is still inconsistent they will be very difficult to beat AC Milan at the moment.
But that doesn't mean they can't, the opportunity is always there.
I myself actually want AC Milan to win in this match, in order to keep the hunting hope and so that Inter are not in an advantageous situation.

I think that the League has been very active with respect to Inter and AC Milan, particularly for me, this is getting very good, this type of emotions is what makes me remember emotions like those of the internal tournament of the Spanish League When they were facing Real Madrid vs Barcelona with the participation of Messi and CR7, and when AC Milan was with Paolo Maldini in their defense and when Ronaldo played with Inter, they are great emotions that football always makes us remember.

Lazio had a very good start to the season and I was hoping that they might make the top 4 but things started to change slowly. They are now placed 8th in the league and have won 3 matches out of their last 5 played. Empoli has surprised me this season as they have been quite consistent throughout the season and are now right behind Lazio and are in 9th position. I'm hoping for a competitive match.
