Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[alpamar99]

Milan and Napoli are now on the right track to win the Scudetto, the competition between the two teams is getting hotter after Milan lost full points in their last match and made the difference between the two teams only 1 point, so this puts pressure on both teams to stay focused and consistently win if don't want to be left behind or overtaken by other teams, Milan performance has improved in line with their policies to recruit several players in the last transfer market, Milan frequent loss of Ibra due to injury, so forced them to bring in Giroud and it is proven that the steps taken are quite effective today.

don't forget the other teams under them, namely Inter and Juventus who still have a chance there.
Milan is currently in crisis in terms of productivity, the presence of Giroud is good enough but this is still not enough to become a goal machine for them.
in the last 6 matches if you look at there are only a few goals created by them and only narrow wins they won.
I think they need to come up with something interesting if they really want to be sure to take the long lost scudeto out of their hands

Inter are following Milan and Napoli from a little behind for now. But they can get to right behind them in case they win their missing match later on. Milan and Napoli are really close to win a championship in the league after many years. As they also are aware of the Inter threat now, they need to continue with minimum amount of mistakes in the remaining matches. At least one of them should be able to be successful in this and reach the championship at the end.

Now with the end of 31 rounds of Italian League things are quite well for top three teams anyone can still win this year's championship even AC Milan is having some advantage, but their unpredictable nature is big hurdle for their chances of winning this year's title.

Napoli is doing good after beating Atlanta in away match, and their confidence level is also high most chance they will beat Fiorentina in home match and keep their chase on for title and Inter is also on good form after beating Juventus in away match now they are going to face Verona in home match which is surely going to give them all three points and their gape could be just four points from Leaders with one match in hand which could be good advantage for them in coming days.

Inter survived against Juventus and took 3 points that knocked out Juventus of the title race. I would be really happy if Napoli would win the title because they didnt win in so long. Milan had their chances against Bologna and dropped some really important points. So this makes it a lot more intresting

Inter Milan broke their bad row and it is more important win for them because the opponent is Juventus, one of their competitor for Scudetto.

These 3 points from Juventus are more important than if they get such from another opponent. Their confidence is back and they now have very minor difference against AC Milan and Napoli. They are the trio competitors for Scudetto that is the most exciting in last 20 years, since 2000s.

Milan has lost several winning points. even against an underdog. Milan still hasn't squandered the opportunity to win trophies, but Napoli also has a good spirit to win trophies.
Milan must play well and get full points in the remaining games if they want to continue to win trophies. otherwise, Inter and Napoli will drop him.
next match for Milan, against Torino and Genoa, I will bet Milan to win.

I realized that Inter missed a great opportunity to become champions after beating Juventus.
In fact, if they hadn't lost so many points in the last few weeks, they would have a huge advantage right now. But they drew 3 times and are now in 3rd place due to the points they lost. They still have a chance to become champions and the league standings are subject to change

[TheGreatPython]

I think we can not take into consideration that how many seasons Napoli participated in Scudetto competition and failed in the ends. In my opinion, in this season, AC Milan, Inter Milan and Napoli are all deserved the Scudetto. What team will take it, will deserve it. They have tight difference on the table and each team have unbelievable win streak as well as difficult times. However eventually they have all been here, in the end phase of Scudetto race.

I have always said the same thing, big clubs become big clubs by not just playing on the pitch, but also what they do off the pitch as well. I do not know if Napoli deserves to win just because they lost with shady red card or anything, if they are so great then they would have won, if they lost then there is no complaining to do after the fact because it won't help their cause. If they want to win, they need to win, every possible game, never lose, be so dominant that even a bad ref wouldn't be able to make you lose.

Look at Bayern, you think ever ref they go against helps them win? Of course not, but they always win. Napoli is not "that" good to deserve it to be fair, only if they can somehow win.

[onetwostep]

We won't know who will be the champion until the last game comes and I think this situation is very good. It's good to see the quality of the Italian League improve.
Milan lost points in their last match and they are again only 1 point away from Napoli. Inter will play 1 more game and if they can win this match, they will reach the same points as Napoli. Any team can still be a champion

[leea-1334]

8/7 points gap from  #1 and #2 with 7 games left means they need Inter, Milan, Napoli to each lose 3 games! Seriously, football is crazy but not that crazy.

Yeah exactly, football is not that crazy XD.  I mean it can happen but seems highly unlikely. At this moment Milan is at the top of the table and I really believe that they will lose points and get dethroned from the first place. I really want to enter to win the match that they have in hand somehow, because then the top three will become really interesting.
I really expect Inter to win the league title this season. Even though Milan has played well enough in recent times I still don't believe that they will be consistent enough and eventually win the league title.

We have seen crazier things in football for sure but the odds for that to happen is probably something like 500x. I mean, just look at odds statistically and we have the answer.

Using opponent ML odds roughly with Inter Milan and Napoli as favorites, and I am being conservative I guess,,, we can say each team to lose 3 more times (3x3x2 = 18 let us put it to 20). Then 20x20x20 = 8000.

THEN Juventus to win all games odds is,,, even higher!

But I think this time Napoli who are now in 2nd place have a higher chance to win the title, and if this happens then Milan will fail for the second season in a row. It means failing to win the title the same as in the previous season, but this season Milan is very close to winning the title but I think for the next match it seems very likely Milan's position will be taken over. If Milan can be more consistent against weak teams and can win convincingly then of course Milan will be a strong candidate to win, but unfortunately Milan is still not fully strong so that even though Milan is currently at the top of the standings, I have doubts about Milan.

Nothing impossible in soccer especially when we are dealing with Serie-A. We have seen it ourselves how great Inter Milan from the beginning till the half of the season. No one predicted that they will lose too many points after the half season and dropped the position to 3rd. The same may happen for other teams and losing 3 matches each are rarely happen but not impossible. Each team has their own pressure to win all the remaining matches, the team that can overcome the pressure and take all the chance effectively will be the champion.

Actually Inter Milan inconsistent performance trough on this years after pass half season with good performance and success lead as first standing position, but on several weeks before Inter Milan have inconsistent and loss many important points make drop to 3rd position standing although have 1 match left. But Inter Milan looks back to top performance awhile after last winning against with Juventus and give opportunity as race tittle for Serie A with AC Milan and Napoli. Left match schedule from Inter Milan I find with AS Roma as bigger team only but can't expectation with Inter Milan inconsistent and loss many points against with mediocre team like Sassuolo. Left 4 points behind AC Milan I think still have chance with Inter getting scudetto in this season but have to win on match left and make 1 point only different from AC Milan.

I understand why you doubt AC Milan can win the Serie A trophy this season, because like you said AC Milan's weakness is always difficult when
facing a weaker team. Maybe AC Milan is not building attacks creatively, so AC Milan always has difficulty facing teams that are playing defensively.
It is very natural if we look at AC Milan's midfield there are no players who have the character of an advanced playmaker, so AC Milan players often
choose to shoot long distances if they have difficulty getting into the opponent's penalty box. Unlike Napoli and Inter, who build more creative
attacks because they have advanced playmakers.

If you choose Napoli who will win the Serie A trophy, I have a different choice with you, I prefer Inter who will win the Serie A trophy. Indeed
Inter's performance has decreased compared to the beginning of the season, and also Inter are in third position. But I have faith that towards
the end of the season Inter will find their best form. Moreover, Inter still has one game pending, so if Inter can win the match, Inter will have
the same points with Napoli and only one point difference with AC Milan. So it's quite a chance for Inter to win the Serie A trophy. Moreover,
the last victory against Juventus made the confidence of Inter players greatly increased.

I am very confident with Inter Milan's performance even though they have to be in third place at this time but the eight matches that are still left it is not impossible for Inter Milan to continue to pick full points in each game to shift AC Milan and Napoli at the top, especially since Inter Milan only will face weak teams it may be said that only AS Roma will be a stumbling block for them.but I am very sure that Inter Milan will be able to get through it at least sweeping a draw this season, this is actually different from its competitors where Napoli and AC Milan will still face strong teams like Atalanta AS Roma and Lazio

these three teams still have the same chance to win the Scudetto this season and who can be consistent that will be the champion, I think Napoli and also Inter Milan have a bigger chance than AC Milan, Ac Milan's game is really very cheap at the end of this season and I think they don't have the mentality to be champions, so many games against weaker teams but they fail to get full points.
from the games the three teams have a chance to win I think Inter Milan have a very big chance because their game is quite good especially after last week they beat Juventus of course it will increase their confidence.

Yes indeed, we assume Inter and Napoli will get 3 points consistently until the end of the season, then it is clear from their goal comparison Inter are more in the lead. So when at the end of the season their points are the same then Inter will win the title, in this case we assume Milan will lose points in the next few matches, so it is clear that Milan's position will fall. Also, the fact is that Milan will still play against other big teams which are very likely to drop points, in contrast to Napoli and Inter which can be said to be safe for the next match to be able to consistently achieve full points.

It is very difficult to predict who will get the title this season, because the three teams still have the same chance of getting the title, for now Napoli are playing well, while AC Milan is playing less consistently, the previous week AC Milan was held to a draw by Bologna, in week 32 AC Milan will face Torino, while Napoli will face Fiorentina, Inter will face Verona,
My prediction this season is that AC Milan will win the title, even though in the previous match AC Milan was held to a draw by Bologna, but I still believe that AC Milan will win the Scudetto.

We have seen crazier things in football for sure but the odds for that to happen is probably something like 500x. I mean, just look at odds statistically and we have the answer.
Using opponent ML odds roughly with Inter Milan and Napoli as favorites, and I am being conservative I guess,,, we can say each team to lose 3 more times (3x3x2 = 18 let us put it to 20). Then 20x20x20 = 8000.
THEN Juventus to win all games odds is,,, even higher!

Considering all odds I really don't see how Juventus is going to win the league title.

They have to win every match, and the teams above them need to lose every match and there are three teams in front of them so it is obviously quite impossible.

Obviously, it can happen. but surely will be really surprised if it does.

Anyway, the next match for Juventus is against Cagliari and they should be the winners in this match.

Yes, I know nothing is impossible but sometimes it is just a little beyond achievable. It still looks good because Inter has one match in their hand and that point has not been counted. If they do end up winning that match it will look a lot worse.
But, if Inter actually loses that match then I think Juventus has a good chance of at least finishing in the top 3.

[terrorJR]

It is very difficult to predict who will get the title this season, because the three teams still have the same chance of getting the title, for now Napoli are playing well, while AC Milan is playing less consistently, the previous week AC Milan was held to a draw by Bologna, in week 32 AC Milan will face Torino, while Napoli will face Fiorentina, Inter will face Verona,
My prediction this season is that AC Milan will win the title, even though in the previous match AC Milan was held to a draw by Bologna, but I still believe that AC Milan will win the Scudetto.

I might focus on the top 4 teams instead of 3 because Juventus is also currently still one of the clubs that can have that potential, even though their points are currently quite far behind Milan but with the performance of Milan, Inter and Napoli now I think their chances are still good. There's remembering there are still 7 games left there and indeed it will still be very exciting now.
