Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[wiss19]

From the start it was also believed that Di Maria would be an option if Pogba could not be played and that proved to be effective in this match. I think they have found a reliable player, like Di Maria. Maybe from the match that will be played, I think the meeting between the competitors will probably be the determinant of their points acquisition, in other words the positive results achieved will be breath for them for the Scudetto.

Di Maria is a very talented player, while he is more experienced than Pogba. Di Maria can therefore be considered as a suitable replacement for Pogba. But Di Maria's main problem is his lack of fitness. And he gets injured very easily. If he doesn't get badly injured this season, I think Juventus' performance this season will be stable.

There is no doubt currently Di Maria is in his best form, and he can do good for his new club in absence of Paul Pogba and this could good chance for him to give his best if he is able to stay fit because in last few seasons his main problem is fitness which is creating problems for this quality player after spending seven years at PSG and having some good number of appearances and good results it's time for him to give his best at this club before his retirement specially after having good chance which is allowing him to have more playing time.

Allegri is surely going to be done some good system because they have new blood Vlahovic and an old wine Di Maria this deadly combination can do their best for them in this season with in first match their conversation was also best 3 goals is good end of first match for these both.

One goal and one assist in his debut game with a new club is a fine feat by Angel Di Maria. Now Juventus is in second place and this season Juventus is ready to return to being a team that will win the Serie A champions.
Juventus' performance against Sassuolo was quite good overall and Angel Di Maria performed with very good quality. Maria will perform even better if Paul Pogba is in the squad.

He might be a little older now, but he is the player that won so many cups with Real all those years ago, and he played amazingly with PSG and won the league many times with them too. This dude is a magnificent player and he still has a lot to offer to Juventus as well. He is prone to injury of course which is a trouble for them if he keeps on missing too many games, but outside of that I would guess that there isn't anything that would make any sense for them to offer.

All in all I have to say that the best thing for them right now is to make sure that every player gets proper rest, because they can't risk overworking anyone and even training is scary for them at this time.

Mourinho's strategy so far has been good for Roma's performances and results, but don't get your hopes up because Roma played and won one match, not much. Fans may be happy because of this, but the league is still very long and will be very tiring. Let's see how consistent they are this season with the addition of Dybala in attack.

Under Mourinho coaching As Roma have shown a more aggressive game last season and also performed quite brilliantly at the start of this season. early victory is a positive trend for the Roma squad to show the public that they will be ready to provide stiff competition this season. From this side they just need to maintain their performance in every round to come. Dybala and tammy abraham are expected to appear more concentrated in the upcoming matches where mourinho hopes the stickers brought in this summer can make a big contribution to as roma in finishing aka scoring goals in every game.

Roma are playing well and much better this season, Jose Mourinho's impact in the team is beginning to show off, they have a good attacking group and their midfield is also good because they were able to get the ball across to the attackers in their last game but I noticed their finishes wasn't so good, Dybala and Zaniolo missed a lot of chances in the which they have to work on cause missing too many chances like that can cost them losing games.

Playing with a weak club can be said to be normal for Roma, as bad as AS Roma's game is, if they are dealing with a weak team it will look good. I understand, AS Roma already made an improvement, but we can see it clearly when they meet a stronger team. There are 6 teams currently that I think are quite worthy to be against AS Roma. Atalanta, Lazio, Fiorentina, Napoli, Juve, Inter and Milan. Apart from these 6 teams, it is normal if Roma are able or even easy to win.

It's just started of the new season and no doubt they were against a weak side but still they need some more improvement if they want to compete with top class teams here in Serie A and UEFA because their game was not good enough in second half Salernitana was in good touch, and they try their best for equalizer but fail and Roma were lucky enough to end with full three points we will have real test against top ranked teams where they need to be at their best if they want to stay at top.

Now in second round of this season, they are going to host another weaker side which is just promoted Cremonese, but they have done good job against Fiorentina and lost match with the score of 3 - 2 as they were playing with ten men after Argentinian Escalante having early RED CARD due to serious foul.

Roma seems to have found its identity after being handled by Mourinho, Mourinho experience of coaching several big clubs has brought a big change to the quality of Roma squad. Roma success in winning the Conference Cup cannot be separated from the role of Mourinho, he always surprises the club he manages. This season Roma has seen an increase in his squad, Mourinho will try to repeat the success that has been carved out in his first season with Roma. The Scudetto has been Roma main target this season, although it is a bit difficult to reach the top of the table at the end of the season, Mourinho will try to repeat the success as he managed Chelsea, Inter and Real Madrid.

Juventus were much better than I expected. Honestly my expectation was like Sassuolo would make serious difficulties to them. Pogba got injured also which made me think like they would struggle in the midfield too. Actually Sassuolo really found many chances as they got even more goal attempts and shots on goal than Juventus. However Juventus still scored 3 goals in 4 shots on goal and won 3-0.

Allegri tried Di Maria beside Vlahovic and it really worked. Because while Vlahovic was scoring two goals Di Maria scored one goal and made an assist. Di Maria's goal was really aesthetic by the way.

From the start it was also believed that Di Maria would be an option if Pogba could not be played and that proved to be effective in this match. I think they have found a reliable player, like Di Maria. Maybe from the match that will be played, I think the meeting between the competitors will probably be the determinant of their points acquisition, in other words the positive results achieved will be breath for them for the Scudetto.

It is always important to have substitutes in every squad, it is necessary for the sake loosing key players to injury and drop in form. Di Maria is important in the team and we can see that importance now as he is filling the gap perfectly for injured Paul Pogba. Di Maria is proving to be reliable in the absence of Pogba

[Slow death]

Roma did not concede any goal against Salernitana. I would say their main weakness in this match is scoring only one goal despite a lot of attacks. Roma made a total of 20 shots. However, Mourinho is an experienced coach. He knows very well where his team's weaknesses are. Perhaps Roma's performance will be more stable in the next match.

I think Roma's defense is very good because they always evaluate all the matches that have taken place and using this position they are quite good, it's just that maybe the attackers try to do a strategy with a combination of several players so that it doesn't look like their own execution which in essence deceives the opposing goalkeeper to cheated and can score a goal, if you change position again the possibility of the defense will not be strong anymore, so what needs to be considered is only the trick for the attacker to score a lot of goals.

it's a little early to sum up any team's defense and attack
not to mention that Roma have not yet faced any noteworthy challenges, we will see it when they play with attacks from important teams
I'm not saying she's not good, I'm saying she has to have better challenges to pass the exam

to have an idea of the strength and capacity of each team and what to expect from each team if it is a team that fights for the title or for the positions that give it access to European competitions, or if it is just fighting not to be relegated, that's all. we will see after completing 5 games. but so far I can say that Inter, Milan and Napoli and Roma are strong, while about Juventus I need to see 4 more games to see their consistency, because they have good players but they are injured so that somehow makes the juventus that same weak team from last season, it may be that I am wrong and make a mistake, but only after I see 5 games of juventus and there are 5 games in which they present good results and that I will be convinced that this season they are fighting for the title

Di maria is a pretty good signing after seeing his early form. Even some Juventus legends think that Di Maria is a very influential player on the front lines. He performed quite well by scoring a beautiful goal in his first match. but unfortunately Di Maria had to be pulled out due to a slight injury to his leg and it is estimated that he will be out for more than 1 month.

Juventus impressed me last week after beating Sassuolo 3-0. The statistics tell us that they didn't have one of their best times but they were still very good at taking advantage of the chances they found considering that they didn't have many shots on target. Di Maria and Vlahovic played really well together and can't wait to see more from them. Allegri would surely prefer this duo there in the next game as well.

Their effectiveness was able to give victory in that match. Even though if we look at the truth, Sassuolo are also not without opportunities, they have many chances but are not very effective in finishing. As a result they had to be satisfied with the defeat they received.
In addition, the absence of Pogba, they can overcome with players who are no less good.

Right. That's the best thing for them to do to keep players. The coach has to pull out those who are starting to look tired.
Angel Di Maria is not too old to play in Serie-A and what former Real Madrid players have shown seems to give the answer that age is not a barrier to help Juventus win in various European competitions.

[Fara Chan]

Yes, the power that AS Roma has built is a threat to Serie A teams, how can they not do that. Although there still needs to be some improvement in some positions, but if this were Serie A I believe they will be able to make it difficult. Because if we look at the other teams, their strength is also not perfect, there is still a gap for them to slip.

Mourinho knows very well how to make his club count, his experience as a coach has been quite tested in various clubs he has coached, before Mourinho's arrival at the club, Roma looked like an ordinary club that did not have a vision to win, but it was very different when he started coming to Roma, even some great players have been brought in who used to be quite difficult for them to want to join Roma, it's not too instant the impact of the reforms carried out now, but I'm sure the vision that Mourinho brought will be seen slowly.

Jose Mourinho is a great contender for the Scudetto this season after making good signings in the transfer window this season. Only Paulo Dybala in the team alone, it's already work done for the players, like Pellegrini, Tammy Abraham, Zaniolo and Gini Wijnaldum. Jose Mourinho have a lengthy experience in football and managing stars in his squad, so the case if AS Roma won't be an exception. Let's see how the new season goes for them, if they would be able to lift trophies this season.

Only 1 goal difference was in the opening match which I think is can not yet be considered to analyze him get scudetto because other  rivals such as Juventus, and Napoli created a goal party which I think is more worth for scudetto. I know how he played,  he only hold 1  goal throughout the game and it makes him satisfied. So, how can he meet Juventus, if he still keeps playing like that?

They are better, I'm sure of that. But to become Scudetto winners, they still have a lot of work to do. Plus some of the teams that used to disappear are now slowly returning with the team strength built up. For now, I can only say that they will threaten the top position, it is likely that they will finish in the Champions League zone.

To be honest, I wasn't convinced before the match even started that Juventus was going to win the match by such a large margin. Prior to the start of the season, Juventus faced some issues, including a few injuries and players being unavailable. However, we are pleased to see that Juventus was able to overcome those problems. There was not a moment when it seemed as if Juventus had no control of the match during that match, not for one minute. I think the start is looking good so far. As the season progresses, let's see if they are able to continue the good work they have started this season.

This is Jose Mourinho's second season as AS Roma coach after last season they won the trophy they had been waiting for, AS Roma's development after being coached by Jose Mourinho looked very good, especially this season they overhauled the squad very deeply to bring in many players quality , I will not deny that they are named as one of the strong contenders for the Scudetto this season because it is very logical if you look at the strength they currently have.
even now there are several Serie A clubs that have developed and are ready to compete for the Scudetto, I think it's better for Serie A which will be increasingly fierce and competitive.

i am also going to doubt @hashrateproducts, and going to agree with @Fesatmas and @Fakhrulenclix as well

yes, they have become better as a team, they have also improved the quality of the team and obviously, they also have a good coach, but to win the Italian League title is something else
i am also going to say that they played really well in the first match even though they just scored only one goal, if they care about bringing their finishing up a notch, i am sure that they have a chance, but it is still going to be very hard

It was a great celebration in the camp of Juventus fans for them to seen such victory happened early to the team that made fans to believe that their coach really brought in talented players. I believe, all those new talented squads Juventus coach has signed in into the team will definitely help the team to achieve victory in their next match for the fans to happy again, because they have what it takes to make it happen at anytime in this season.

Juventus is facing a complicated period, among many injuries of main players and a total change of the team, it was a miracle to score those 3 goals .. honestly I would not have bet on it (on the victory yes, in fact I won)
Let's see what he can do, I'm curious
