Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[ShowOff]

September become busy schedule not only for Juventus but also team participants on UEFA Champion League, I think not only with Juventus but also have Milan, Inter and Napoli have match Champion League stage group. Exactly with Juventus they faced problem trough few days later playing on Champion League still player get injury like Paul Pogba and Chiesa. Really important match for Juventus on September against with PSG and Benfica but I believe if keep consistent have chance for Juventus for lead group stage, but problem faced right now how difficulty keep playing with consistent performance, two draw in last two games on domestic league I worry will give impact for Juventus on UEFA Champion League.

Every team that plays in the Champions League this season will definitely face a hectic schedule of matches. Juventus is one of the Serie A representative teams who seem to be favorites to qualify for the round of 16 if you look at other teams from the same group. PSG is the strongest in my opinion, but Juventus is a worthy opponent compared to other teams.

Even though Juventus haven't been impressive, I think they deserve to be seeded to qualify for the round of 16, but what is certain is that the competition will be tough because Benfica cannot be underestimated.

The two teams still played out a goalless draw in the first half and Milan didn't get many chances, and hosts Sassuolo had their chance through Berardi's penalty but was saved by Maignan.
and in possession, Milan took the lead but had only one shot on target. In the second half it looks like both teams will try to score goals for full points, especially Milan to stay at the top of the standings.

Maignan performed quite well when holding off a penalty kick by Berardi. Maignan was a savior for AC Milan in the first half and he deserves credit for his good job of keeping the net safe in the first half. In the first half Sassuolo played better than AC Milan they did attack after attack but unfortunately they were not able to break into the goal guarded by Maignan. Now, the second half has started, I think the game will be even more interesting. Of course, AC Milan will try hard to get 3 points at Sassuolo to maintain its position in the standings as the leader of Seria A for the time being.

Roma performance is not bad, they have improved.  I was surprised that Juventus could  not win roma . Roma has improving Much better than in the last season.

The current score result is actually a VERY BIG impact for Juve compared to Roma who are FULL TEAM with their new players.
Meanwhile, Juventus are without DI MARIA and POGBA who are injured, so there is no game play.
So, don't be happy for AS ROMA, okay? But even so, I as Juventini respect what Mou did is very positive for AS ROMA to increase its prestige level.

Serie A was the most interesting league of all last season and it's happening again. The nuance is that by the end of last season, the favorites still prevailed due to the depth of the line-up, and this season, if the underdogs endure until the World Cup, they have a chance to endure until the very end of the championship. The World Cup will bring confusion to the league and could hit the favorites hard. Therefore, we have every chance to see an even more interesting championship than last year.

I also believe that and agree with what you have said. It is expected that there will be a lot of players who will be very interested in and determined to do well in the World Cup. There are going to be a lot of players who will be very determined to prove themselves at the World Cup after a long break.

Therefore, you can probably assume that club football is going to be the second priority for a lot of players. Obviously, those players are going to come from a variety of clubs and they will all be good players. This is why I believe that the outcome of any league can be unexpected and different at the end of the season.

I think it is not the difference in motivation that matters (it is approximately the same for everyone), but in the paths of the national teams. Someone will reach the final and be more tired, while someone will leave the tournament after the group stage (or will not take part in the World Cup at all like Italian players) and have time to rest. Someone will get injured and miss time while being treated. These are random factors that can hit top clubs (most of the players in which will participate in the World Cup) hard.

It was disappointing to watch Sassuolo play Milan like children, not giving them a single chance to get in front of goal. I don't see how that could have happened to the current leader of the standings. I was sure Milan would win this game, but when I saw how well the home side played I knew I was wrong.

However, the clubs will have to take this on the chin and move forward from here. Because it is obvious that they cannot do anything about that. There is a very real possibility that a player is so excited about the World Cup that he may injure himself while training or playing for the team in the World Cup, because he is so excited about the World Cup.

As a matter of fact, some of these injuries can be downright pathetic. Injuries can obviously have a detrimental effect on how well a player is going to perform for his respective club and that also brings in doubt about if he will even be able to perform at all because of injuries. It is something that the clubs will have to endure because there is no way around it because it is a necessity.

AC Milan's performance in today's match was poor compared to previous matches. Maybe AC Milan is now at the top of the points table. But it is for a short time. AC Milan will lose their top spot if the other teams play their fourth match.
Probably both teams wanted a draw in this match. AC Milan is happy with 1 point as Sassuolo is not a weak team. My guess is that AC Milan will be a bit behind in the title race this season. Roma Juventus and Inter Milan teams look stronger than AC Milan to me. AC Milan's midfield looks a bit weak to me.

Not bad, but just unlucky even though Milan dominated the game. High ball possession should have allowed Milan to score some chances, but it really wasn't their lucky day. Sassuolo are a team with a strong defence, so sometimes it's hard to beat especially because they can be so focused on defence.

If Inter and Roma win their respective matches, then Milan will surely be thrown to a lower ranking. Maybe 3, but so on it could be 5 or 6 if all teams with 7 points currently win the match.

[Slow death]

Sassuolo 0 - 0 AC Milan

what an irritating game, I watched every game and I didn't see Milan playing well, it looked more like the Milan players didn't want to play, they weren't even trying hard to win the game. every time they attacked sassuolo it was something that i asked myself: " what the hell is milan got? " they couldn't even cause real danger to sassuolo, honestly if sassuolo hadn't missed that penalty they would win this game, today milan wouldn't it was fine and I lost money. It was a very good choice to bet on them.

next game:

1st Half

AS Roma 2 - 0 AC Monza

Roma is winning and at this rate they can win this game

FC Inter Milano 2-0 US Cremonese

Inter is also winning, but with only 1 goal it is still not a good guarantee that they will win the game

Milan played badly, they drew but they could have lost, they did not create great danger to sasso, on the contrary, sassuolo wasted a penalty that could have guaranteed them a victory in that game, with this draw Milan loses the leadership of Serie A and roma passed to the top, mourinho is doing a great job

The draw is very disappointing especially for myself. But I appreciate their performance, including Mike Maignan, who performed brilliantly. Indeed, AC Milan midfield is very weak and this is a gap to improve in the next match. Also Alessandro Florenzi suffered an injury in the last minute of course to be a big blow for AC Milan. But the one point achievement was also welcomed by Stefano Pioli where he was satisfied about the final result but he was disappointed in his team's game because they didn't play too well in this match. Next week there will be a Derby della Madonnina where the two giants will meet in this match with the atmosphere of the game going to be quite hot between the two teams.

[Altryist]

Yes Juventus has close to seven injured players and almost all of them would not recover until September and October respectively. But Juventus is a big team with a lot of talented and experience players that can be able to at least get some good result until the team becomes complete. But in that match against Roma, Juventus was a better side. They even had one of their goals canceled due to VAR decisions.
It would be quite unfair to rate Dybala based on his performance against his former club, the season is just starting. Hence, he needs more time to justify the trust Roma has in him.   

And now, in response to my remark, Dybala scores twice already, well done, I'm glad that he began to score for Roma. And as soon as I said that Milan should have lost points to keep the intrigue in Serie A, Milan plays 0:0 with Sassuolo. Milan was also lucky that Berardi couldn't score a penalty, otherwise the match could have ended even with Milan's defeat. And by the way, if Roma wins, it comes out on top, which is quite unexpected for me.

September become busy schedule not only for Juventus but also team participants on UEFA Champion League, I think not only with Juventus but also have Milan, Inter and Napoli have match Champion League stage group. Exactly with Juventus they faced problem trough few days later playing on Champion League still player get injury like Paul Pogba and Chiesa. Really important match for Juventus on September against with PSG and Benfica but I believe if keep consistent have chance for Juventus for lead group stage, but problem faced right now how difficulty keep playing with consistent performance, two draw in last two games on domestic league I worry will give impact for Juventus on UEFA Champion League.

Every team that plays in the Champions League this season will definitely face a hectic schedule of matches. Juventus is one of the Serie A representative teams who seem to be favorites to qualify for the round of 16 if you look at other teams from the same group. PSG is the strongest in my opinion, but Juventus is a worthy opponent compared to other teams.

Even though Juventus haven't been impressive, I think they deserve to be seeded to qualify for the round of 16, but what is certain is that the competition will be tough because Benfica cannot be underestimated.

I think Juventus is a very competitive team going into the Champions League. Obviously, there are a lot of better teams in the Champions League as well. But I also feel that Juventus is good enough to qualify for the round of 16. I know that the way Juventus are playing right now is not very convincing. But even with all the problems and all the injuries and also all the not-so-positive results, I think qualifying for the round of 16 should be a piece of cake for Juventus. I am really interested in seeing how Real Madrid is going to perform in the Champions League this season. Because obviously they are the defending champion and they also have not made big changes to their team.

-skip-

In fact, maybe an early goal (a penalty was awarded in the 22nd minute) would have mobilized Milan and they would have started playing as actively as possible from the very beginning and this would have brought them victory, no one knows. But in fact, it turned out that Milan dominated possession of the ball and nothing more. If you take shots on target, then Sassuolo is ahead - 3:2. I don't know how the game would have gone if Sassuolo had scored that penalty, but Milan didn't deserve to win today.

[posi]

AS Roma 2 - 0 AC Monza

Roma is winning and at this rate they can win this game

Inter Milan players are playing very well. It was expected that Inter Milan would perform well against Cremonese. And since Inter Milan is leading 2-0 at the end of the first half, they have no chance of defeat in this match. Cremonese players are not able to create attacking opportunities. My guess is that Inter Milan will win this match 3-0.

FC Inter Milano 2-0 US Cremonese

Inter is also winning, but with only 1 goal it is still not a good guarantee that they will win the game

The performance of the Roma team has been stable this season. Roma has not lost any match so far. And probably Roma will win today's match too. If they get 3 points in today's match, Roma will go to the top of the points table for the first time. I would say that is entirely a credit to Mourinho. An average team becomes stronger only because of great coaching.

I don't know how the game would have gone if Sassuolo had scored that penalty, but Milan didn't deserve to win today.

I don't know why you don't think Milan deserved to win today's game. I didn't watch the game, but the match stats seem pretty good for Milan. I don't know what the reason is, but what is clear is that Milan couldn't create many goal opportunities and they also failed to take advantage of the opportunities that existed.

In other matches, Inter and Roma are both superior in their respective matches. Inter and Roma were 2 goals up in the first half which is safe for me to think they could have won this match easily. Roma are getting better, so is Inter who are consistent. There is a reason why Roma deserve to be in the title race this season, it is because Mourinho has found the answer to the strategy his team needs.

Half-time: Inter 2-0 Cremonese

Inter take a comfortable lead into the break. The hosts took control of this game early on and haven't dropped the tempo since. They took the lead when Correa tapped in from close range early on, after good work from Barella. And Barella doubled their lead with a stunning volley after Calhanoglu's clever pass.

It was disappointing to watch Sassuolo play Milan like children, not giving them a single chance to get in front of goal. I don't see how that could have happened to the current leader of the standings. I was sure Milan would win this game, but when I saw how well the home side played I knew I was wrong.

Every team has its weakest moments otherwise PSG and Bayern won't drop points in their leagues..
In the other two games, it is already half time and both Inter and Roma are leading with 2 goals to 0 vs Cremonese and Monza respectively. Dybala scored 2 for Roma

A missed penalty and seven yellow cards with bore end of Sassuolo vs AC Milan match not good for defending champions now after four matches they have only eight points but still have good chance for staying at top because they are doing better performance.

Right now, we have two matches in progress with Roma is leading against new promoted side Monza and leading match by 2 - 0 thanks to Dybala who done both goals for them at the end of first half. In second match, Inter is also leading with same score of 2 - 0 against another new promoted side Cremonese after losing match against Lazio, it's good they need more improvement for staying at top as things are not easy with many teams are performing good.

A very unfortunate draw between Milan and Sassuolo. Milan had a great opportunity to remain at the top of the standings, but today's opponents have shown good football so far and have pushed Milan down to third place. And I don't think that's going to change by the end of the day.
