Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[rahmad2nd]

When compared to Inter and Napoli, Juventus' performance has been so good compared to their recent matches. Though Juventus is bit behind them, there are lot chances for them to capture the top three places soon. Milan has used their chance well. Yes made a goal and lead. Napoli had more than 2 chances to shoot goals but yes missed. Bad luck. Milan is back to 1st position. Milan will be sitting at this place peacefully until 14th March with a win from 13th March match against Empoli

Milan surprises again, I thought they would draw with Napoli, but they managed to win. Giroud once again demonstrates what Deschamps loved to talk about, he is a striker of the highest level and, despite his age, consistently scores goals. Inter still have the advantage as they have one unplayed match in hand but that doesn't mean they will win it as there have been a lot of draws lately.

unbelievable with AC Milan achievement success defeated Napoli because usually still not have consistent performance exactly when games almost ended, but right now AC Milan as potential keep lead Serie A standing position and waiting with match postponed result for Inter Milan could make them stuck or success get three points, if Inter Milan failed getting 3 points give chance for AC Milan as lead Serie A standing position and left 10 match later as final decision for both team rival between Inter Milan and AC Milan show who will success finish on first standing position place until end season.

I agree, many that think Milan will lost or draw versus Napoli becuase they are still unstable club. I really think before when Giroud was create 1 goal in minutes 49, but can't create any goal until minutes 80. Draw is possible, but they save, their defense really agresive to keep back from Napoli forward. I belive Inter has focusing on champions league, they forget Milan for a moment, that possible, Milan will continue in 1st stand serie A until next month,

Scudetto competition will be fiercer this season, Milan's success in defeating Napoli has made them currently at the top of the standings, although Inter Milan still has 1 game postponed, but I see that Inter Milan schedule is quite difficult going forward because they still have to face several strong teams, however it's different with milan which actually leaves relatively easy opponents for them at the moment, I think Milan will be the favorites to win the scudetto this season if they can maintain consistency in the game in the remaining matches.

Napoli was beaten and fell down on the table but they are still in the competition. Inter Milan still have one more match so AC Milan only have a temporary advantage but to be fair, this temporary advantage brings pressure on Inter Milan and Napoli. It does not mean Inter Milan will be able to win the rescheduled match. Napoli have most disadvantage among three candidates for Scudetto but even before the defeat by AC Milan, I also thought Napoli have less chance to win Scudetto.
So sum up, it is mostly a race between Inter Milan and AC Milan which is interesting enough. Inter Milan have control on their hands but if they fail to win in the rescheduled match, they will waste one great opportunity to surpass AC Milan.

Inter absolutely needs to win the rescheduled match because they really would not want to waste this great opportunity to have the lead and be at the number one spot. But they need to win back to back matches to be the winners of this League because the other two teams are really close and Juventus also seems to be creeping up the table.

Well said bro, this match shows that AC Milan has strong motive to win the league, it makes me believe that winning inter Milan was not a fluke,you can't win your two main rivals (Napoli and inter Milan) by mistake they are truly doing well,but there biggest weakness is the smaller teams in the league just as you said but I think they are improving on that aspect also,that's why they are at where they are in the table.

But in this case we can't forget Inter's one game remaining at the moment.
They are 2 points behind but still have the advantage in their 1 game remaining, We can't deny now after they won unanimously in their last match against Salernitana this indirectly clarifies their position and makes the atmosphere even more heated.
It depends on whose performance doesn't falter until the end of the season then he will be at the top

Right now AC Milan is leading table with inter is having one match in hand but after checking remaining fixtures I can say competition is very tough between these two teams for title because AC Milan have mostly easy games and inter is going to face tough challenge against Juventus in away game, so this year's title is going with difference of just one or two points between these two teams and Juventus is having now strong case for reaching out at third spot with Napoli is also not good and have some very tough challenges ahead but still good thing now five or six teams are doing great in this league which is creating very healthy competition and good fight for title after end of Juventus dominance.

Napoli dominated the match but they had to face the fact that AC Milan was very lucky with their 1 goal till the end of the match. Now AC Milan lead the table with a 2 point lead over Inter and 3 points clear of Napoli but they are still not safe at the top. Inter could take over the standings from AC Milan if they win their 1st match postponed.

Serie A has been pretty interesting so far with little gap between title challengers. AC Milan, Inter and Napoli will fight until the end of the season and so far they are required not to make mistakes until the end of the season. It would be interesting if AC Milan can win the title this season, they have to do it for the first time after the 2010-11 season.

Many predicting Milan keep going on with draw achievement against with Napoli but one goal scored by Giroud on 49th minutes give three important points for AC Milan lead as first standing position from Inter Milan. Should AC Milan as the scudetto winner in this season after eliminating on champion league and not available with europe league after 4th standing position on group stage AC Milan easy only domestic league competition joining than their rival Napoli still on europe league and Inter Milan still with champion league against with Liverpool.

Still have chance for AC Milan although Inter have left one match and could lead 1st standing position behind 1 points only but left 10 match become final for Inter Milan and AC Milan.

The competition for the top 3 teams in Serie A is indeed very interesting, because the point difference between the three teams is close to each
other, so every match becomes very important. Which team can play consistently until the end of the season, the team really deserves to be
the winner of the Serie A trophy. Actually for now Napoli are the most profitable, after being eliminated by Barcelona in the Europa League,
Napoli can focus on Serie A. Even though Napoli are in third position, but if they can finish the remaining 10 matches well, Napoli should have
a very big chance of winning the Serie A trophy. Meanwhile, AC Milan still has to compete in the Coppa Italia semifinals, so the concentration is
a bit divided. Then for Inter has the most crowded schedule compared to other Serie A teams. Inter are still playing in the Coppa Italia and
Champions League, if Simone Inzaghi doesn't rotate the players properly, then Inter players will experience fatigue and this can have an effect
on their game. In conclusion, it is still difficult to predict which team will win the Serie A trophy this season, so it is very interesting to watch
Serie A matches every week, the possibility of a change of position is very possible.

Milan's victory over Napoli was beyond the expectations of many parties.especially as Napoli played at their own home, while AC Milan often appeared less convincing.but Olivier Giroud's goal in the 49th minute made everything change, where AC Milan survived more aggressive attacks.by Napoli so that AC Milan defended more than attacked after winning by 1 goal, but Milan had the advantage through a deadly counter-attack even though they could not increase their goal coffers.with this victory Milan successfully took over the top of the standings from Inter Milan

Milan success in defeating Napoli in a match that was quite crucial for both teams was certainly greeted with joy by the Milan club and fans, even though they won with a score of 0:1 but in the end, Milan succeeded in capturing the top of the Italian league standings and making Napoli drop to second place temporarily.
The match It was really quite thrilling because after the 0:1 win, Milan preferred to defend and they looked very pressured by the attack by the Napoli players to equalize the score until the last minute of the match.

They top Milan was able to capture after the narrow 0:1 defeat was very crucial as Milan needed to occupy the top of the league at least as a compensation for the season. But the overall performance of Milan was too poor despite the win . Napoli hadmore control of the game and were more like a big threat all through the match

Juventus is on a steady climb in the points table. They did not lose any of the last five matches and won three of them. Now with the back-to-back wins, they are going to be performing better in my opinion.   

Actually, it is 15 games without losses.
If we hypothetically remove the first 4 games of the season, Juventus is 1st ahead even to inter.

Maybe they needed only some time for adaptation.
But the squad is still weak and they need to change at least 2 players in the midfield to be able to compete with anyone.

15 games without losses? This is great.
For Juventus not to be recording losses actually show in the league. Normally for Juventus to play that long without losses should make them be in number one or number two position. Considering that Juventus started the season very very poor show that for them to be in the top 4 they have done very well. I did not even expect them to be in top 4 ahead Atlanta and Roma. But for them to be in top 4, I can happily say that Juventus did very very well this season.

If juventus played consistently like this since the start of the season, of course we will see the old lady at the top of the standings today, but unfortunately the start of the juventus season was very negative and they kept dropping points at that time, ronaldo departure seemed to give a big blow in the juventus squad earlier this season and many even predicted that juventus this season would be out of the top 4 competition, but slowly they started to stabilize in winning in the match and making juventus now one of the competitors in the champions league zone for next season.

Yes, but maybe in the end he doesn't even care about winning the Scudetto. What big teams want is money, so go to the Champions League.
Perhaps Atalanta fails this year, it would be a shame. Too much tough competition.

Tell that to Arsenal fans and club owners though,,, who went to Champions League every year for so long and made so much profits but never won the league again. Everyone got so angry they kicked the good old Wenger out.

No Italian team does not want to win Scudetto in a season where Juventus is weak. I believe for every team, trophies are nice and great but you are measured by history in your domestic league wins.

The team ability to win the trophy really depends on the finances and also the mentality of the club, so far I think all teams competing in the league will target the trophy but of course to become title competitors they must have a qualified squad and of course that requires big money, that's why we see that teams that have strong finances tend to be favorites to championship, but indeed sometimes mentality also has a strong influence in this case, especially if a team is more likely to have a business mentality than achievement, of course it will hinder the club won the trophy.

It is true that money sometimes affects the football team, but sometimes money does not always give positive results. In Serie A, Inter and Milan are clubs that both have financial problems, so neither of them have been able to buy expensive players in the last few transfer windows. However, both can be said to be quite good in undergoing this season even though they have not signed any star players.

I think every team wants to win the championship and they are happy when Juventus is not so good. Then it's easier for them. Only this year there are 3 other strong teams fighting for the championship. Inter Milan, AC Milan and SSC Napoli. I still think there will be a winner between AC and Inter Milan. Their games and their attack ist rly good, both teams have scored more goals than Juventus or Napoli. Another important matchday will be 03.04. Juventus Turin against Inter Milan. On no other day do these 4 teams play against each other.

Juventus will not win the championship and not even Atalanta, I hope Atalanta go to the Champions League, they deserve it: they worked very hard

I agree with you that Atalanta is working hard. And they're playing great with a mid-quality team. But now they are not in form. Juventus, on the other hand, is now in great form. The team that plays well in the upcoming matches will be able to qualify for the Champions League. And I think Juventus will be able to qualify for the Champions League. Atalanta have won just one of their last five matches.

Juventus' weak point in this season has become an impetus for several teams in the race for the Scudetto this season, Giroud who has really shone this season by scoring 11 goals In 27 matches, Interesting to look forward to Giroud action in the upcoming match AC Milan against Empoli I think he will  showed stunning action in the match against Empoli.

[KTChampions]

If you think that Napoli have already dropped out of the title race, then this is a mistake. Yes, they are 4 points behind the leader (if you take into account the game in the hand), and 3 points behind the second place, but in previous rounds we have already seen how Inter and Milan lost points in matches with clearly weaker teams and this could happen again. There are 10 rounds to the end of the championship and at such a distance an advantage of several points does not mean that you are guaranteed the championship.

This season's title race in serie A are so unpredictable as we get used to see juventus domination over the last 10 years where the scudetto often decided before the whole matches of the season played , even a couple matches after the middle of the season in january or february!

Well at least i feel entertained with these tight competition, napoli are indeed still in the title race even i's say juventus still had that a piece of hope there.

If Juventus become champions after such a season, it will be complete madness. Although I still think it's mathematically impossible.

After a significant victory over Napoli AC Milan become the leader of the Serie A point standings. At the top first ranked give them leader just as temporary, however they need to keep up with it to make it permanent. Congratulations 3 precious point from Napoli, though high tension throughout the match. Fans still hope for the title, but to be  champions they need to keep winning next 10 games. I would say, keep it up.

I am sure that none of the top three (and four, too, if you remember about Juventus) will not get a 100 percent result in the remaining games. I think that even the best team of these 4 will lose at least 5-6 points. But with the distance to the end of the championship shortening, these three points have undoubtedly become precious for Milan and gave them a good advantage over Napoli.
