Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[kayiboyu]

In one day, the new week in the league is going to be underway. And I see that Juventus have a home game against Udinese tomorrow night. Juventus have impressed me quite a lot by their recent performance in the past weeks. They didn't lose in their last seven games in the league and got 2 draws. And Udinese are one of the worst away teams this season as they won only twice in nine games. I believe that Juventus will be defeating them in this.

I dont think they will fire Shevchenko at all,they just signed his recently a few months back. I think they will keep him until the end of the season and maybe Genoa will in this transfer window sign some good players to actully stand a chance of not getting relegated.

Genoa has to do it if they want to stay in Serie A. 21 played only 1 win. they are very bad in defense, there have been 39 goals against them. of course a very bad achievement. I don't think it's just the defensive line that they have to improve. they also have to be strong in midfield to win the ball.

If Genoa fires Shevchenko, who will they hire to replace him?
Shevchenko is a good coach but if he has few good players, then the problem is not with the coach. Genoa not Chelsea where manager sacking could 'cheer up the team'.
Genoa needs to sign a couple of good players right now.

what hurts is that the goal was created in the last minute of extra time
At first I thought Juventus would come out victorious but indeed Inter showed their class and managed to make a pretty good comeback.
Judging from the match statistics, there is nothing special and according to predictions because Inter managed to dominate.
a dramatic match that was quite successful, it made me excited to watch it

The match was really quite fierce and required both teams to play until extra time because the match in normal time the Inter Milan vs Juventus end match was score 1-1, I also predict that Juventus will be able to win the Italian Super League trophy for the 10th time, but it was a goal what happened in the final seconds of the game made them have to give up Intermilan as champions, I think the achievement of this trophy will motivate the Inter Milan players to play better in the league, and if they are lucky this season, they will be juxtapose to match the Italian Super Cup with the Serie A trophy, the copa italy and maybe even the champions league trophy later.

That's right, I think it's not difficult enough for Inter at the moment apart from getting the motivation that can be used as a spark for their enthusiasm as a result of winning after beating Juventus, they are also currently top of Serie A even though their position is not safe because there is a city rival, AC Milan. at the bottom by only one point.
but on the other hand they still have one game in hand and when they want to get away I think victory is a must for inter against atalanta later, even though it will take more energy because atalanta is now not a club that can be underestimated

Florentina the shockers, Napoli the disappointing side, it was too many goals.
Napoli could not help but fall and beg for mercy, Florentina utilize their chances.
Good win their, but I ain't placing bets on Napoli no more they're not in a good form and shape, they have a decrease in mentality, this is not the mentality from the start of the season.

Napoli actually had a big enough chance when Fiorentina had to play with 10 player at the end of the first half, but their performance at that time was bad enough that they were able to equalize the score 2-2 in the final minute of the match and Napoli who had received 2 red cards had to continue the match with extra time, and of course Napoli had to play with 9 player and it was very easy for Fiorentina to destroy Napoli in that match.

they really couldn't maximize their advantage in the second half, on the other hand, I think it can't be separated from the slick game from Fiorentina, which was very good even though they continued to be beaten but they didn't lose concentration and even won 2 times over Napoli.
me and it was disastrous when Napoli had to play with 9 men. those who originally continued to attack had to be willing to be bombarded by Fiorentina

Napoli not playing aggressive on the early second half when Fiorentina played with 10 players, Napoli had to fall behind through a goal scored by Cristiano Biraghin in the 57th minute before Fabian Ruiz managed to equalize in the last minute, Napoli should have won because the second half Fiorentina played with 10 men after Fiorentina's Bartłomiej Drągowski got a red card in extra minutes of the first half. This defeat made Napoli's steps to be stopped in the last 16 of the Copa Italia and it is certain that they will find it difficult to get a trophy this season considering the Scudetto title which is quite impossible to get.

They were not able to take advantage of the situation when Fiorentina played with 10 player and it was really quite painful after they also lost 2 players in that match, defeat in big 16 of course closed their chances in the copa italy, but for the scudetto, I think their chances are still open although it's a bit, because their the difference in points is only 6  with inter milan, and we know that if Inter Milan  will has a difficult match in Week 21 and 23, besides that, in Week 24, Napoli will face Inter and it will be an opportunity for Napoli to cut the distance, while AC Milan also has a two difficult matches in week 23 and 24, because they have to face juventus and also intermilan, and I think napoli should be able to win in the next match, because the match between ac milan vs inter milan will definitely make one of the teams lose points in that match and napoli must be able to take advantage that matter.

[emrecemsan]

I really liked to watch Fiorentina against Napoli today. Fiorentina really deserved to win and advance to the next stage from the beginning to the end of the match. Especially the extra time was even more awesome. Fiorentina were already playing superbly in the Serie A and they were surely a big threat to Napoli. And they showed how powerful they are here surely. Congrats on their huge 5-2 win.

Yes that's how this drama ends Fiorentina got rid of Napoli which was unexpected I don't know what made Fiorentina aggressive even though in Serie A Fiorentina were defeated by Torino 4-0 The defeat should have brought down the mentality of the Fiorentina players unfortunately no they are even on fire. Will Milan experience the same thing today? because they just conceded 1-0 for Genoa  Serie A surprises continue in Coppa.

The Serie A is really full of surprises but it wasn't the night for Genoa. Giroud's goal which came in the 74th minute caused them to play the extra time. And in this time period, Milan were really determined to finish this by not letting the final result be decided by penalty shoot-outs. They scored two more goals and eliminated Genoa by 3-1. And Milan are going to have a matchup against Lazio or Udinese in the quarter finals.

They have to overhaul all lines if they really want something good next season.
almost all of their lines have gaps and it will be very difficult for them to be able to make at least a win.
5 matches, 2 draws and 3 defeats is something quite bad for them.
they must rise from adversity if they still want to be in serie a and not be thrown into serie b.

The final result is good for Milan, but terrible for betters - I highly doubt that anyone was betting on Milan going to the next stage, and not on Milan simply winning in regular time. Due to this result, a lot of bets (and multibets) burned out. Genoa did not get anything in the end, but maybe the result of regular time will give them confidence and help them in the fight to get out of the relegation zone.

Of course, it was logical to assume that Milan would win in regular time, and for those who made bets, the match turned out to be unsuccessful. But there are positive moments in this match, I can say that the game shows that the team wants Sheva to be a coach and you are right, a draw with Milan can add confidence to the players. Frankly, few people believed that Genoa could beat Milan. Maybe Sheva will get a few more matches as an extra chance.

That would be good. I don't really see much reason to sack Shevchenko - Milan are in second place in Serie A with a good chance of winning the title. The failure in the Champions League is quite understandable, they had a very difficult group and sometimes such results (especially at such a short distance) happen even with top clubs.

Chiesa is injured and don't know exactly the covid situation in Juve but obviously they are better than Udinese and the odds are way better in favor of Juve @1.4 vs @8 for Udinese.
Atalanta - Inter this Sunday is the best game followed by Napoli - Bologna since you never know how it will end there!

[borovichok]

Genoa played well this match, they even managed to win the first half, but failed to bring the match to victory and on 74 minutes Giroud equalized. The match in regular time ended 1:1, which is not bad for a team that occupies 19th place in Serie A. And already in extra time, Genoa conceded a goal twice and lost. I wonder if the club's management will fire Coach Genoa, Shevchenko? After all, the cup match with Milan, according to the management, was his last chance.

The final result is good for Milan, but terrible for betters - I highly doubt that anyone was betting on Milan going to the next stage, and not on Milan simply winning in regular time. Due to this result, a lot of bets (and multibets) burned out.

To be honest I love the competitive nature of the Italian league this season I love how team like AC Milan, Atlanta juventus inter, Lazio all step up to fight for something this season,even if juventus are not too inform but the did not give up they keep fighting,I think if this league continue on this path they will challenge the premier League

Covid situation is quite good in Juventus at the moment.

They have only Aaron Ramsey positive for Covid, not a big deal since basically he is not a Juventus player anymore.

I totally agree that Genoa have weaknesses on all lines, not just a bad defense. However, Genoa's midfield players often lose battles with
other team players, and also Genoa's unproductive front line is the cause of Genoa's very bad game in Serie A. Indeed Genoa have changed
their coach to make Genoa play better, but Shevchenko as their new coach could not do much. Genoa is still difficult to win. Because whoever
coaches Genoa, it will be difficult to make Genoa play well if it is not supported by good players. So there really is no other way Genoa really
has to bring in some new players to be able to make their game better. It seems that this season Genoa will be difficult to get out of the relegation
zone, so my prediction is that next season Genoa will play in Serie B.

[Emitdama]

I would say that there is a big chance Milan could have lost that game. Genoa could be not a great team but they have been playing very well lately, if they keep this up then I am guessing that they could find a way to get out of that relegation zone. Aside from that Milan was expected to beat anyway, and maybe they took a detour but they got there anyway. So, it was a result that we all expected to see.

I can't say that game itself was a fun one, I mean it was a quite boring classic Italian game with good defense and not great offense. Milan seems to be going at it this year and they want to get that championship they missed last season, let's hope that they have a fun competition so we can enjoy it as fans.

Continuation of Serie A week 22 Juventus will face Udinese, when the meeting in the first round Juventus could only draw 2-2 with Udinese, I think the same thing will also happen when the two teams meet in week 22 at Juventus Arena. considering the series of poor results achieved by Juventus at this time after being defeated by Inter Milan 2-1 in the Super League last week.

However, Juventus will go all out considering the position in the standings is stranded from the top four positions which changes the position threshold for the champions league.

[mv1986]

Within the next three weeks Juventus is going to face AC Milan and then Atalanta. Those games are going to be exciting for sure. If Juventus can keep up their current performance level, who knows how far they can still make it this season despite their bad start? I don't think there is any chance to get very close to Inter unless Inter really starts to lose points constantly. They look way too stable right now. But anyway a third place would still be kind of a success given how bad they started.

Based on the performance of each team of course Juventus is still the best & favored Udinese still survives with poor performance it's just that Juventus is not a commensurate opponent, just agree Juventus continues to enter into the top 4 against a weaker team is an opportunity for them to collect more points or at least leave Roma behind.

After all we can see today's match where Juventus will play at home against Udinese, I personally believe Juventus will win but it is possible that Udinese will provide an unexpected resistance. Also, there is the Salernitana match against Lazio, both Juventus and Lazio have a chance to win and I have no doubts about that until I put both of them in the parlay.

@hahay Juventus have an experienced coach and his experience may help them during this crucial period, but I do hope that the board will buy some player’s during this transfer window to help him. Lastly if Juventus end up occupying the third spot then it’ll indeed be a happy ending for them, but it’ll surely send a message to other teams that next year they’ll be coming for the league title.

Although on paper Juventus are the favourites, I think Udinese can surprise you. It's the same as the first round meeting where Udinese was surprisingly able to draw Juventus 2-2. Even though Juventus is the favorite, I think there will be an unexpected result for Udinese to make Juventus experience difficulties this season. However, judging from the position in the standings, Juventus deserves to be seeded because Udinese is quite far away from the difference in points with Juventus and is currently in 14th position.
