Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[SirLancelot]

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

Sassuolo is a strong team and they are very tactical. Their main aim is to share the points against strong teams. Attacking gameplay was absolutely necessary to win against a strong defense. But AC Milan did not play an attacking strategy. This was their first mistake. They kept possession of the ball but did very little attacking. AC Milan will lose points if they apply such tactics against strong teams.

Inter Milan and Roma are going to win their matches. Roma now leads 3-0 and Inter Milan leads 2-0. Both teams look set to score full points. If Roma wins today, they will go top of the table with 10 points from 4 matches. And Inter Milan will be second in the table with 9 points from 4 matches.

Always opponent will do low performance it is not suitable in football. Every team wants to win to get full point but strong team deserves more. Milan is a team of good combination and they have enough match in future to come back strongly. As it is beginning of the season, we can't predict exactly what will be next for any team.

But AC Milan did not play an attacking strategy. This was their first mistake. They kept possession of the ball but did very little attacking. AC Milan will lose points if they apply such tactics against strong teams.

If that's the case then I totally agree Milan made a mistake in that match. But I don't completely blame Milan's strategy, it could be because of Sassoulo's tight defense which Milan is difficult to penetrate. Lack of creativity meant Milan failed to create many chances, but don't worry this is something that happens in some match.

The point is Milan must find a solution how to penetrate the opponent's defense who has a defensive strategy to get points like Sassoulo. If in the next match they also fail, then I don't know what will happen to them as defending champions.

Inter Milan and Roma are going to win their matches. Roma now leads 3-0 and Inter Milan leads 2-0. Both teams look set to score full points. If Roma wins today, they will go top of the table with 10 points from 4 matches. And Inter Milan will be second in the table with 9 points from 4 matches.

Each match 3-0, both home teams seem to be winning 3 points in this match.

AC Milan already seems to have lost it at the start of the season. This is no longer the AC Milan of last season, which managed to win these kinds of matches. Sassuolo may be a tough team, but certainly not a strong team and AC Milan should have won there. Inter emphasized his form with a 3-1 win, simple win and Inter are on track. They will also soon have Champions League matches in a very tough group with Bayern Munich and Barcelona, so the question is how they will live up to those matches and whether they might give their star players a little more rest in the run-up to these matches.

The AC Milan of last season is not the AC Milan of this season; such matches used to boost their points last season, but they are now losing points on such matches, allowing Inter Milan and other strong opponents to climb the league table. Perhaps this season will be different from last, and Inter Milan might be champions of this season's Seria A league after securing their third win of the season following a humiliating defeat against Lazio in their last league match.

[AakZaki]

Tammy Abraham saved Roma from defeat by being able to score in the 69th minute through Paulo Dybala's good pass. it's a very interesting match, both teams have almost equal strength. these are the two teams competing for the Scudetto this season and I also think a draw is fair enough for both teams.

After not wanting to extend juventus' contract he gave the best game. The mature pass he made Roma not lose and made them bring 1 point. This result certainly makes it have 7 points and has never lost. Mourinho doesn't have many options Zaniolo and Wijnaldum are injured.
It's just the beginning of the season there will still be a lot of domestic and European games, even the world cup. I think we're going to see a lot of surprises because of that.

The point difference between Roma, Inter and milan isn't that much and the Seria A is one league that always have suspense and surprises. Its impossible to predict how the league will end with just this few matches. As for the champions League Inter first leg will tell if they can survive the group stage

Yep, it is too early to predict the result of Serie A league. There are too many remaining matches and the competition among the teams in Serie A looks tighter than the last season. I am sure the competition for the title isn't for Inter Milan and Roma only, we have Napoli and AC Milan that is very possible to overtake Inter or Roma in the next few matches. Especially in the second half of the season, sometimes there is a surprise related to the change of position on the table. Only strong teams that can play consistently have the ability to stay on the top table.

Yes exactly, also Napoli, they still have 1 match remaining. And I am sure that Napoli will have a higher chance to win against Lecce.
If Napoliwins the match, the standing will be changed again. Serie A is one of the most challenging leagues, with unpredictable standing until the end, the competition is very tight on the standing. So, exactly, this is too early we will consider who is the winner of the trophy. This is about who will play and become winner in every match, collect more scores than others that will be at the top standing.

[CryptoBuds]

He has been at Roma from the previous season and let's not forget last season their supporters were divided into two camps because of his eccentric way of coaching.
But sometimes in things like this Mou's cool hand is able to make something interesting to look at. Regardless of what he actually still has never failed to give trophies to the team he visited.

Mourinho's coaching style may be eccentric. But to get a good performance from this Roma team, Mourinho needed to do different experiments. Roma is a team that does not have enough money to buy the necessary players. If Roma were as financially sound as Real Madrid or Manchester United, perhaps we wouldn't be seeing Mourinho's eccentric coaching style. However, Mourinho is an experienced coach. The Roma management allowed him to operate independently so we saw quite a few good performances from Roma last season. And their performance is quite good this season too.

Actually, in terms of the players that Mou brought at this time for the Serie A class, it was quite good in my opinion. Names like Tammy Abraham and Dybala are clear examples that they were brought in by Mou. On the other hand at this time Zaniolo is also quite good in terms of performance and is even desired by many well-known clubs for Mou's cold hands.
His eccentric coaching was also evident last season but the fans were obviously expecting more but having now got the Conference trophy he looks like he's been accepted.

In today's match too, Roma got a great 3-0 win against Monza. Dybala scored two goals and Roger Ibnaz managed to score one. Roma scored three goals and Roma defenders performed well in this match. The important thing is that Roma is now at the top of the points table due to the win in this match. And all this is possible because of Mourinho.
Roma's defense has been strong this season. Roma conceded only 1 goal in 4 matches. And managed to score only 6 goals. If Dybala and Tammy Abraham are able to play well regularly, Roma's attack will also be stronger. Roma are definitely favorites to win the title this season.

But AC Milan did not play an attacking strategy. This was their first mistake. They kept possession of the ball but did very little attacking. AC Milan will lose points if they apply such tactics against strong teams.

Inter Milan and Roma are going to win their matches. Roma now leads 3-0 and Inter Milan leads 2-0. Both teams look set to score full points. If Roma wins today, they will go top of the table with 10 points from 4 matches. And Inter Milan will be second in the table with 9 points from 4 matches.

AC Milan played badly against Sassuolo, AC Milan didn't take advantage of the quality of their better players by playing attacking. I saw AC Milan
playing too cautiously against Sassuolo, whereas if AC Milan played more aggressively there might be a greater chance of scoring goals. Losing
two points is very detrimental to AC Milan, because now AC Milan is two points behind Roma. It looks like Sassuolo learned how to deal with
a stronger team from their defeat against Juventus. So now they are quite successful in getting points against AC Milan, and this draw in my opinion is
a pretty good result for Sassuolo.

Competition in Serie A is getting more and more interesting, after AC Milan failed to win, Roma and Inter managed to win. Which is now Roma and Inter
are above AC Milan, especially for Roma they managed to rise to the top after beating Monza with a fairly large score. It looks like Roma's performance
has improved quite a bit this season compared to the previous season, if Mourinho can keep Roma playing consistently until the end of the season,
it is not impossible that Roma can become the winner of the Serie A trophy this season.

This is too early to analyse. We know that the serial A has started being competitive since 3 seasons ago. Just want to point out that this season will not be competitive as last season where nobody knows who will win the title,  who is going to Conference, Europa or CL till the last match. This time won't be that way, some clubs  drop form but I am believing in Roma to be champions.

AC Milan would have won this game, they didn't take the game serious from the start and that's why they drew that match against sassulo, they would have even lost, Nice win for inter Milan and AS Roma they both utilised AC Milan failure and take advantage of the table ranking, for AS Roma dybala has started showing and proving to be a bagain, I really wonder why big clubs were not interested with the Argentine despite him being a free agent, well-done to Roma for striking a deal for him.

Actually in this case there is no reason for them not to consider this match not serious for them especially in this case they need to step on the gas early so they can compete.
They are not very good in this match so there is no reason to not take it seriously in the match especially next week they will face the Big Match.

You're right , it means Milan has the potential to lose more points in the next match against Inter
Now Roma take over the standings as well as a sign that Roma are starting to find their best game
I know the league just started but at least we can see from some of the matches that have been passed.

[Zlantann]

The important thing is that Roma is now at the top of the points table due to the win in this match. And all this is possible because of Mourinho.
Roma's defense has been strong this season. Roma conceded only 1 goal in 4 matches. And managed to score only 6 goals. If Dybala and Tammy Abraham are able to play well regularly, Roma's attack will also be stronger. Roma are definitely favorites to win the title this season.

I read a post where Dybala was highly criticized. In fact, the poster concluded that Juventus would be happy for selling the striker. He didn't only get a brace in the match but his total performance was outstanding. He created chances, won lost balls, and even contributed to the defense. Tammy Abraham's performance was not encouraging. He was losing many balls that would have been clear goalscoring chances. If he must play regularly, he needs to improve. His finishing in this match was weak and he needs to be more liberal by passing balls to other strikers to score. Generally, Roma's performance is above average, they are improving as the season progresses.

Now their schedule is starting to get busy with the Champions League even though Inter are still the same, but currently Inter players are more favored in contrast to those who still have several injured players.
It would be funny if they drew or lost in this result but there are still the same reasons such as not being too focused on this match or not being as serious as when they met Sasuolo.
This is a Big Match and they must be able to win for the sake of prestige.

It can indeed happen because I also read some posts like that especially among Juventus fans but I think this is natural because in the mirror a few seasons before when Ronaldo moved this also happened.
Dybala's form is still very good for Roma at the moment and I still feel he can still improve especially when his chemistry is getting better after a long time playing.
It's a pretty good thing for Roma because they now seem like this season they can talk a lot more.
