Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[kro55]

Inter won a game they played very badly. This match was very important for them to come to their senses. Milan's draw in the Bologna match was an unexpected loss for Milan in the title race. Milan and Inter seem to be returning to their legendary years this season. Napoli on the other hand got three points from a difficult away game in the championship race and continued on its way. The championship race to be very enjoyable.

How can win so badly, if in the end it is 3 points then that is something great. Moreover Inter won at the Allianz Stadium which is the home of Juventus, where previously few said Inter would win but it didn't happen. Inter being able to win the match at Allianz Stadium is certainly a surprising result if we consider its recent performance, but even so Inter will still find it difficult to take over 1st and 2nd place. Also, this defeat by Inter still keeps Juventus safe in 4th place, because Roma who are below him have a gap of 5 points which is certainly difficult for Roma to catch up with their unstable performance.

I think Juventus was really unlucky to lose that match because they ended up hitting the post twice. 

And, remember the goal that was scored from the penalty by Inter was also defended by the Juventus goalkeeper first but it was ruled as a penalty retake because the goalkeeper was off the line before the ball was hit.

In the second attempt, Inter was eventually able to score the penalty.  But I have to say Inter did a good job of holding Dušan Vlahović and not letting him have any space.

Yes final result is so important but how they play is also important as it is related to overall performance. If they could win but they couldn't play well, the win was just a luck and luck cant continue all the time. Juventus were better although they could not win eventually because of bad luck, few times hit the bar. Now Inter is having better chance to still compete with Napoli and Milan after all results of the last round. However, if Inter cant improve their performance, it will hard for them to compete with Napoli and Milan.

I think it's very reasonable because Juventus is not an easy opponent and Inter Milan have tried their best to play neatly in defense and attack and it's true because of their efforts to finally win the match, I don't see anything wrong Inter Milan did, they should have do something very profitable for them.
due to this victory they are currently very close to winning the Scudetto this season, the three top teams have the same opportunity to win the league, the remaining matches this season is the consistency that determines everything, and if you look at the games of the three competing teams, I think Inter Milan has a chance very big to be able to win the Scudetto again this season.

Milan lost 2 precious points at homme and this could be very costly for them, inter is in a very good position since all the remaining matches for them is not complicated and they can manage to win the majority of them, i believe the battle for the title will be among inter and milan, the remaining rounds will be really enjoyable

Lost 2 precious points that should have been obtained by Milan when entertaining Bologna at the San Siro gave benefits to Napoli and Inter. In the last few matches, Milan seems to have problems with the effectiveness of scoring goals against the opponent. When against Napoli, Empoli and Cagliari, Milan was only able to score one goal. If the effectiveness in scoring goals against the opponent is not immediately overcome by Milan, it is not impossible that Milan will slip from the top of the standings and fail to win the Scudetto at the end of the season.

The competition for the Scudetto this season is heating up again, AC Milan failed to widen the distance with its closest competitor due to a 1-1 draw against Bologna.  Then Inter Milan successfully added three points against Juventus, and continued to stick closely to Milan, Inter still had one game left and this will be used well by Inter to continue to put pressure on the leaders.

 As we know AC Milan always struggles to play with smaller teams.  Milan lost as much as 14 points when meeting teams who are in the bottom half of the current standings.  Stefano Pioli's side have been held to draws by Udinese twice, losing to Spezia, drawing against Salernitana and also Bologna.

 But when they face big clubs, they are much better.  Milan got four points from Inter, three from Napoli, drew Juventus twice, beat Roma home and away, as well as wins over Atalanta and Lazio.

 Looking at this record, it is very likely that Milan will slip in the next two weeks of Serie A.  The Rossoneri will face Torino and Genoa, if in this match Milan slips again, then the hopes of winning the Scudetto this season again disappear.

I agree that the Serie A competition is heating up again after AC Milan surprisingly failed to win against Bologna. While competitors Napoli and
Inter managed to win, this makes the difference in points AC Milan, Napoli and Inter closer. This means that the results of the next match may be
a change of position, especially if AC Milan and Napoli drop points. It's very interesting if we look at the statistics when AC Milan face weaker teams
often struggle to win. Meanwhile, AC Milan's facing strong teams often play well, meaning that AC Milan has difficulty facing teams that play defensively.
Hopefully Pioli realizes AC Milan's weakness and fixes it soon, so that in the next two matches AC Milan can win. Because in the next two matches
AC Milan will face Torino and continue to face Genoa in the following week, which are both weak teams, likely to play defensively and rely on
counter-attacks.

For me, the man of the match was bologna’s goalkeeper. 

Without him, the team would have surely lost the match. I think Milan had a lot of good chances to score in that match but they just could not beat the goalkeeper. 

Some of the shots that were taken from long range would have been passed ahead and better chances could have been created from that. but they also had some good clear chances through headers but they could not convert them to goals also.

I wish I could be like one of those managers who will always say 'as long as there is a mathematical chance we will try every point' (sorry Manchester United) but you are right. Juventus only looked like they were getting better from results but eventually you play badly you will get back the result you deserve.
Inter to retain title and Juventus to finish 4th,,, I wish there would be such a bet to take at some special,,, I would do it

I think yesterday's game was just as important for Inter or Juventus. Inter is trying to overthrow Milan and Napoli. and Juventus have a mission to ticket the Champions League next season. Inter was very lucky with the penalty that was won in extra time in the first half.
If Inter can win all the remaining games, the chance to defend the Trophy I think can be achieved. Inter's toughest remaining match I think is against Roma. Inter needs to focus on the remaining games.

Roma only seems like the most important one if you judge by the positions on the table but all the teams have been struggling to maintain consistency in the last games of the season, so for Inter,,, every game is literally a final now. Nothing else to play for but retain the title. That would be a huge achievement, especially after losing so much of the personnel that won it for them, but every other team also feels this has to be their year. Most exciting league so far is still the most exciting league to finish too

Milan lost points in the last match and that certainly was a big mistake. Now Inter and Napoli have a good chance of taking first place in the league standings.

But obviously, they need to win the next match, the match that they have in hand.  otherwise, they are not going to be able to contest for the first spot in the league.

I don't think Juventus has any chance right now to win the league. so they need to make sure that they hold onto their 4th place to play the Champions League.

I don't understand what you mean by "won the game very badly". Isn't this a good win from Inter Milan, because previously they were doubtful to win against Juventus. But in the end they were able to win the match even they won at Juventus headquarters. The achievement of these 3 points maintains hope for Inter Milan to keep competing for the Scudetto.

the failure to pick full points at home to Bologna at the San Siro made Milan now wary where in the other matches Napoli and Inter Milan managed to pick full points over their opponents as well as cut the distance with leaders AC Milan and now all three are only 1 point adrift of the standings table how information leaves one game if they win the match it will automatically become 66 points, this will be a warning for AC Milan if they slip once again then we can be sure they will lose the Scudetto title this season how the competition is still so tight leaving only 7 games until the end of this season

Napoli's next opponents are Fiorentina and Roma it's not easy to still get the win. Inter will play Verona and Spezia, I think Inter has a bigger chance to win and get full points.
but Milan also has fairly easy opponents, Genoa and Torino. as long as Milan doesn't play badly, Milan could keep their interim position in a few weeks.

unfortunate too
not even fit
who has been through a bad time, too
he must aim for a moment to rebuild and only to at least the Champions League, to bring money home
unfortunately, tiredness is one of the major enemies of modern football

that's what football is possible to happen even though Juventus played better but Inter Milan was able to win and get full points.
I don't want to see the game between the two teams but the final result means a lot for Inter Milan to continue competing for the Scudetto this season, this victory really means a lot to them. and now Inter Milan have the same chance to win the league with AC Milan and also Napoli.
and Juventus, they have no hope of getting the Scudetto, of course they just want to finish in the top 4 at the end of the season to get UCL tickets next season.

[Turbolinea]

Juventus were unlucky indeed. But at least they showed their quality against Inter too. I don't think that this result will affect Juventus players too badly. Their next match is against Cagliari away. Here, I expect no mistake by Juventus. It is a comfortable match for them and all they need is to keep their usual performance. The rest would come hopefully for them. They would still chase Inter now as there is nothing ended.

Yes I agree that they were just unlucky against Inter Milan. Because they don't lack opportunities, but they just can't maximize the chances they have into a goal. And for this result I don't think Juventus will continue to regret the defeat and affect their mentality. Because after all they still have a chance to try again the next match.

obviously anything is possible
precisely this fascinates me about this sport, the fact that it is not predictable
however you can understand, with percentages, which is the most probable event (as I guessed the victory of Manchester City)

Milan are not a consistent team, they often make mistakes against teams they should be able to beat. The match against Genoa proved how Milan couldn't score a single goal. Torino also have a chance to hold Milan to a draw in this match. If this really happens, then I am personally pessimistic that Milan can become champions this season. Hopefully they can take advantage of the remaining 7 matches to become champions.

I think the determination of the title of the Serie A league until the last match, this year the determination of the title is very competitive like the English league, even though the English league is currently only contested by two teams, namely Liverpool and Manchester city. but the Italian league is contested by three teams, after the last few seasons Juventus has always been the dominant one without any significant competition from Italian league teams.

[OcTradism]

Milan are not a consistent team, they often make mistakes against teams they should be able to beat

Not only AC Milan but other clubs in the competition are inconsistent too from AC Milan to Inter Milan and Napoli. It results in a very exciting competition for Scudetto, the most tight one in last 1 decade.

The match against Genoa proved how Milan couldn't score a single goal. Torino also have a chance to hold Milan to a draw in this match. If this really happens, then I am personally pessimistic that Milan can become champions this season. Hopefully they can take advantage of the remaining 7 matches to become champions.

They are getting similar issues to what Inter Milan got last few weeks but now Inter Milan are back. The important win against Juventus might be a turning point to help Inter Milan not only end their bad row but also boost their mentality and performance in this very important phase of season. They are in opposite move now. Inter Milan improves but AC Milan are slowing down and might have decreasing performance in coming matches.

Now, Juventus are almost out. We have 3 clubs for Scudetto competition, AC Milan, Napoli and Inter Milan. They all have own issues and inconsistent performance. What team will do best til the end? Napoli for their first Scudetto after many decades since the last one with Maradonna.

Juventus struggle to beat Inter is indeed worthy of appreciation, Intermilan's victory in my opinion is not because Inter Milan is better than Juventus but only because of the luck factor, because from the game between the two teams it was clear that Juventus was more dominant in the match and even I think they controlled every line,  apart from the result, statistics show ifJuventus are able to create more chances to score than Inter who are only able to do 1 shot on target.
The defeat of Intermilan did delay their chance to overtake Inter, but that does not mean their chance to go higher has been closed, especially in the next 3 matches they will face a fairly weak team, while Intermilan can be said to be facing a difficult match against Roma.

Inter Milan, AC Milan and Napoli all have equal chances to win the title. Inter Milan are a bit off form though. But the opponents ahead of them are relatively easy. Inter Milan has a chance to win every match if they play carefully. Roma will be the toughest opponent for Inter in the upcoming matches.
Napoli has easy opponents except for Fiorentina and Roma. If he can perform consistently, he will be able to compete for the Napoli title till the last week.
AC Milan will play against Lazio, Fiorentina and Atlanta. It will be very difficult for them to win these matches. So we may have to wait until the end of the season to see which team will win the title this season.

What Milan's fans are afraid of is not losing a game but their team not scoring at all in a match or 2 which might make the others jump in front of them in the ranking. Besides, they still have some challenging games so...
We will have interesting final rounds to watch and maybe we will wait until the last minute to know the winner this season

Mate, this is not Genoa but Bologna. In that match AC Milan managed to record 33 shots, 7 shots on target but did not produce a goal. It was not a lucky day for AC Milan even though they tried hard to score. AC Milan is not a consistent team, maybe that is true but I hope they can win the title this season despite the poor results in the previous match.

I did not expect that there would be many obstacles that AC Milan had to go through until the end of the season to realize the ambition of the title. They just need consistency and win all the remaining match, I'm sure they can even though many doubt it.
