Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[KTChampions]

I expected such a result from Mourinho's team, so I bet on the minimum victory (without any totals or negative handicaps). Mourinho's teams play too rational football, and in my opinion it's more reliable to play 3-1 than to try to keep it to the very end with a score of 1-0. Juventus disappointed, it was the last result in my multibet and it burned out.

With Mourinho, he does not priroritize beauty and sexy football. He needs points and tittles. Minimize conceded goals and know how to score goals and maintain leading goals to end with 3 points for each match.

Roma did had great chances to score more goals but 3 points are what they have. It is enough for them and enough to make Morinho happy.

In future, they must improve conversion rate from expected goals, great chances to real goals. It is important in big matches and it can decide what team will win big match and win Scudetto in the end.

I can't wait for the next round and the Juventus-Roma game. Juventus lost points in the game with an outsider and in order not to fall out of the championship race, they only need a victory. For Roma and Mourinho, this is an ideal option - I'm sure that they will sit on the defensive throughout the game, catching Juventus on the counterattacks. I can’t even imagine how this game will end, but it will be extremely difficult for Juventus.

[babo]

Mourinho has a philosophy that all 3 points matters more than playinq very nice football nd losing the game. I'm certain that he will be furious with the number of chances missed by his team because scoring goals is important and vital to win games. If you get the opportunity, take it and get all three points. In the future they have to work more on their finishing and conversation rate.

Mourinho is an ambitious coach, he will be angry if his players waste many chances and fail to score goals. Mourinho is the type of coach who always demands his players to always look impressive in order to get a win at the end of the game. He do not care about beautiful games, the important thing is that his team do not lose in the match.
Next week Roma will fly to Turin to face Juventus, ahead of this big game Roma have good capital (2 wins in a row) at the start of the competition, while Juventus have just won a draw with Sampdoria. This match will be difficult for Juventus because many players are injured, while Roma come in good spirits, Mourinho men are well prepared for this match because they are on the right track.

Jose Mourinho is overrated
He's not good, he's just lucky and extremely arrogant and obnoxious
Roma win? It's not about him. Look at Roma's placements in previous seasons, they have only won one more Cup and Roma have spent a lot of money this season, thanks for winning.

I'm sorry, he's not good for me.

The formation of two striker and four midfielders in my opinion is quite suitable for Juventus, but the situation doesn't support considering that Federico Chiesa who was previously expected to be Vlahovic partner up front has not been able to be present on the field, while coach Massimiliano Allegri cannot continue to use Di María in front because the midfield also need his contribution after Paul Pogba was injured and couldn't enter the field. So I think the problem for Juventus at the moment is the lack of strikers, even though there is Moise Kean but still need a replacement.

[salad daging]

Juventus game was indeed not satisfying for anyone. The number of goal attempts they had wasn't much different than the previous game. This time they weren't good enough to finish them up with goals. This look of Juventus make me doubt them about this season also. If we don't see any improvement they may not do better than finishing the season at the 3rd or 4th position. Pogba's absence is felt in their midfield maybe but I don't think it's the only reason.

I think their performance did not disappoint, they made 10 attempted shots and 4 shots on target, besides that they also dominated 53% possession in the match. Juventus were just unlucky because they missed the golden opportunities they created.

The absence of Pogba in the match is not a reason for them to lose, we can see from their match against Sassuolo, they can win easily even without Pogba. But of course, we'll see a better Juventus performance if Pogba later recovers from his injury.

If there are no goals, the taste is less than satisfactory but what can it be because Sampdoria were able to withstand several attacks and golden opportunities from Juventus so indeed it is still unlucky for the goal they didn't score in that match, maybe this is a little difficult for Juventus.

But in this match also Di Maria didn't play maybe it lacked a bit of attack but whatever the reason they still couldn't win in that match, next week with Roma it will be very interesting because we know Roma are in their best form.

They bought everything for their attack every possible position and still Juventus is really struggling in attack. I think they still arent used to playing with each other and it might take some time. Also Moise Kean for me isnt a good striker because he rarely scores goals,at this stage you should do more whenever you get a chance.

Juventus still have a long way to go before they return to an acceptable level. I think that will definitely take a few more matches. The competition benefits from it. We must also not forget that a gap has fallen in the back due to the departure of Bonucci and De Ligt, see if you can catch that. Okay, they managed to keep 0 in the last game, but what good is that if you don't score a single goal yourself? It's too soon to draw a conclusion, but Inter have started the season much more convincingly.

I think, Juventus coach need to work hard to improve the team in this season for their fans to believe that they have something good to achieve from this tournament. If Juventus strikers can make use of another strategies to play their  next match, it will really help them to achieve their 3 points from their next match to encourage their managements that they have some good to offer to the team. Inter took a good step in this season that made many people to believed that they will go far in this season, because their performance is very good if they can be able to maintain their tactics they are using in this Italian league competition.

Taking a positive view of things, Juventus did not have a very good start to last season. In spite of this, they have started this season well enough so far. As a result, we can say that there have been some improvements in the Juventus squad in recent years. Nevertheless, there are a lot of improvements that need to be made in order to make this a successful ending.

I think the coaches have their work cut out for them because there are a lot of players who won't give a hundred percent because they want to stay fit for the World Cup. It has been a great start to the season for Inter. Despite the fact that Juventus won one out of two, Inter has won already two out of two games.

This fight between the teams who have defensive style and would be interesting to watched but from head to head statistics obviously Juventus was better and if Juventus play using their best starting eleven probably they will win but their latest result while against Sampdoria makes me doubt they will get 3 points from this match but Roma condition also not really good because after losing Wijnaldum who has broken leg and it took 3 months to recovered recently Zaniolo also confirmed got injured

Yes this is a proving match for AS Roma to show that they are ready for tougher competition in the top flight. If they can beat Juventus, then the confidence in them will be even greater regarding their seriousness in chasing the title. But unfortunately they can't play as a full team for several reasons. Here Jose Mourinho's tactics will be needed to see how he can control the situation.

There is still Depay who may be the last signing but regarding Juventus' performance so far, in fact at the moment many of Juventus' key players are still injured so his performance may not be optimal. But if these players can recover at least for the second half of the season or after the world cup break, I personally still believe Juventus will remain on the title track for this season. Because basically Juventus have players who can make Juventus' performance improve this season, we just need to wait until they recover from injury and play as they should.

Jose Mourinho is unique manager I think because he the only one as manager not really care about how beautiful games play and take decision how can win only, last match when success defeating promotion team Cremonese not really beautiful games play show by AS Roma, but effective for creating many chance although success scored only one goal. Next match as big game for Jose Mourinho after two success match but winning with small team, what happen on next match against with Juventus will AS Roma back to drop performance actually Jose Mourinho have bad record last season when AS Roma against with top fourth standing position team. Most superior against with small team but when AS Roma against with team like Juventus, Inter, Milan and Napoli faced difficult to win.

The match against Samdoria was proof that Juventus actually needed a better striker. Di Maria who could actually help the attack become more sharp, but was not seen in the Juventus line-up in that match. Obviously that leaves Juventus with no better option when they are struggling to score goals. Finally, a goalless draw was inevitable even though Juventus played well and created many chances.

Juventus' next match is against Roma who are currently at their best. Roma are not so sharp, but they have won 6 points in the last 2 matches, and that should be something Juventus have to watch out for.

Roma looks like the favorite against Juventus. I would not say that Roma is playing very well. But their match strategy is excellent. Their gameplay is stable. The most important thing is that they are able to attack a lot while keeping the defense strong. However, Juventus and Roma are not strong attacking teams. But I think the Roma team is better than Juventus both in gameplay and match strategy. That's why even though it's Juventus' home match, I consider Roma the favourite. However, Juventus have won their last three matches against Roma. The upcoming match is expected to be competitive

If we look at the current odds, Roma is not the favorite obviously.
Looking at the first 2 matches, Roma is not that special even though they won all the 2 first matches while Juventus failed to win the 2nd match.
I would say Juventus has better chance to win because they are playing at their own stadium which is a big advantage.
My concern for this game is about Dybala who is former Juventus player, I'm curious about how the Juventus fans react to his come back as an opponent.

[masulum]

es, I also noticed a tired team: I'm talking about Milan. I also noticed that the other teams are more aggressive, it will be a fun season in my view.
let's see what the future holds, a championship with many teams fighting for me amuses me ahah

Yes, AC Milan's lack of clarity in making transfers this season may be one of the obstacles. The acquisition of RedBird, which was originally expected to improve Milan, was not seen. This is very annoying for me. However, Milan must be able to show its quality as the defending champion. Indeed, it will be very difficult for Milan to go through, especially this season they are playing in the UCL, with the current team capacity, Milan maybe finishing in 3rd position is good.

Not only Mourinho, every coach will demand his players take advantage of the slightest opportunity to score goals. Mourinho is an ambitious coach, it's true but he gets angry easily especially when things don't go his plan.

Next week Roma will fly to Turin to face Juventus,

It's a match that will attract a lot of attention this week in Serie A. I probably wouldn't miss it, but in terms of predictions it looks like a draw would be a good possibility for the match. Roma are in good form, while Juventus are not. But anything can happen in that match considering that both teams also want to win and consistently win points. I support Roma to win, but didn't expect Juventus to lose so easily.

[MinoRaiola]

My concern for this game is about Dybala who is former Juventus player, I'm curious about how the Juventus fans react to his come back as an opponent.

Juventus vs AS Roma on Saturday is the top match of the day and I also think that juventus has a better chance of 3 points at home. In January this year there was a 4:3 for juventus and as rom was 3:1 in front. All other games last year juventus won at home. And Juventus is about to catch Memphis Depay as new striker from Barcelona. That will motivate the team.

[TheGreatPython]

The formation of two striker and four midfielders in my opinion is quite suitable for Juventus, but the situation doesn't support considering that Federico Chiesa who was previously expected to be Vlahovic partner up front has not been able to be present on the field, while coach Massimiliano Allegri cannot continue to use Di María in front because the midfield also need his contribution after Paul Pogba was injured and couldn't enter the field. So I think the problem for Juventus at the moment is the lack of strikers, even though there is Moise Kean but still need a replacement.

Just after two matches surely we are missing few things from them, and they need to work on these as time is running out, and they have to do this all quickly otherwise they can suffer again in this season like they have in last season Vlahovic is alone in better shape, and they need Deepay for better shape they were in talk with Barcelona but suddenly all stopped which is wired because right now they need him at their front specially after Paul Pogba injury with they can't go with Di Maria at front he is best for this position.

Allegri is surely working on this all, and we will have some good news about this as well in coming days because right now they are completely down and not able to fight for title race against Napoli and Inter which are complete package for this season with their best attacks.

In my personal opinion, the one point that Juventus got against Sampdoria was not too bad, because this is still the beginning of the competition and new players recruited by Juventus also need adaptation because they were recruited from different clubs, indeed many criticized Juventus when they were held to a draw by Sampdoria, some say Juventus players only play in midfield and play the ball in midfield without making significant attacks, but I think Juventus will definitely play better when Paul Pogba and di Maria can come back to play and recover from injuries, I really believe that. Juventus can beat AS Roma in the third week meeting.

[Velvet78]

Milan were the better playing team against Atalanta but this was still not good enough to be victorious this time. Atalanta did a good job by maintaining their lead for a long time and after that they still did their best not to lose. I accept that it was one of the tough fixtures for Milan but they must continue with minimum point losses for retaining their title.

By the way Napoli have been the most impressive team for two weeks. Maybe Monza were an easy team to defeat but destroying Verona like that deserved the appreciation.

True. Milan played way much better but in my opinion , Atalanta had pure luck last night as even the goal they scored was with chance. Also , I didn't saw the Champion of serie A on the pitch last night because Ac.Milan performance was poor as well and if they want to keep that Serie A this year they will have to work as twice as much than last year because Juventus and Roma might be the great surprise of this season.

Today I do think both Roma and Juventus will win and take 3 points.

Roma did what they were expected to do and won. Maybe it wasn't the most comfortable score but I still saw very positive signs in their effort. However Juventus let everyone down by getting a 0-0 draw. Even though they have really good attackers somehow they failed to score even one goal. Considering that they had really low amount of shots it must not be related to their attackers. The midfield is still not at a satisfying level. Pogba would take his place in the starting eleven in a few weeks.

I can expect a tough game between Juventus and Roma this weekend. Roma looked convincing to win over Juventus, but either way both have equal chances to win. Juventus will take advantage of the host's advantage to play well against Roma, while Roma have two wins as capital to beat Juventus.

I'm curious about what Dybala will do against his former club for the first time this weekend. I don't expect him to score and be branded a traitor by Juventus fans if he celebrates. So it will be interesting looking forward to this match.
