Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[masulum]

What I said about Sassuolo is proven again. Milan were not so good against Sassuolo. This is not a good thing, furthermore, Milan need to make sure that they have strength in the derby. If Milan lose again, this will make it even more difficult for Milan to catch up and compete for the championship. Hopefully this time Milan can win the game.

Score: Empoli, Udinese & Lazio leading for the first half.

Juventus and Napoli should be able to beat their rivals today without too much trouble

Roma brings more pressure to other top clubs because they must win their matches in this match day in order to keep up their running with Roma. Juventus, Napoli will not want to waste any point and fall behind AS Roma.

I have to say that Lazio played really well in this match. They took their chances well. But I have to say Inter was unlucky to concede the second goal.
It was a big deflection from a defender which made the ball end up perfectly in the top right corner.
If I remember correctly Inter lost against Lazio in the last season as well.

Lazio could be more difficult today. They had quite a few matches (considering the pre-season) where they were able to score no one single goal, and Sampdoria is the team that can play well in defense (as it was in the match with Juventus). But Lazio in the match with Inter showed that they have very good potential.

Lazio just beat Inter Milan in the previous match day and I think they are able to beat Sampdoria. You can be right about the defense of Sampdoria but the match will be different than the one with Inter Milan. Lazio will have to play as a stronger team here and they will be play more attacking aggressively. If Lazio gives Sampdoria opportunities to counter attack their defense must be good enough to protect their goalkeeper.
I want to see top clubs to win and continue the interesting competition for Scudetto.

Lazio is playing against Sampdoria and the score is One-Zero in favor of Lazio.
Soon it is going to be the halftime break in this match. Probably in one or two minutes.
I really expect Lazio to score more goals in this match.

Paulo Dybala put in an excellent performance and inspired Roma's win over Monza at the Stadio Olimpico, having scored two of Roma's three goals. Dybala played well during the game before he was substituted.

Last season when he was in Juventus Dybala was often a substitute, as well as in the Argentine national team, because Dybala had problems with his fitness, but this season under manager Jose Mourinho Dybala has performed well in Roma's first three matches in Serie A 2022/ 2023, However, Dybala is new able to score in the fourth week of while reaching 100 goals in Serie A.

Dybala often has problems with his fitness so he is unable to maintain his best form at Juventus. In the 29 match he played for Juventus last season in Serie A so his stats are only 10 goals and 5 assists that Dybala can have, that is definitely not something good for a striker like Dybala. The team expects more and the fans expect the same.

At Roma Dybala can also be doubted about his form, he is very erratic but Dybala can be expected to make a good contribution to Roma's attacking power this season. So far 2 goals and 1 assist in 4 Roma match, but still maybe more. 2017-18 was Dybala's best season at Juventus, in 33 match he scored 22 goals and 5 assists, but after that the statistics dropped.

The performance of Paulo Dybala in this match was really impressive. In addition to making some amazing runs, he also scored two very good goals as well. As well as Abraham, he also played very well in this match. There was an easy goal that Belotti could have scored, if he had done so, it would have been a dream debut for him.

During this match, Roma also had some really good chances to take the lead by a significant margin, but they were unable to convert those easy chances into goals that would have put them ahead by a considerable margin. It is evident that Monza's defense was almost nonexistent as well. Despite Dybala's recent scores for Roma, I think he has a lot more to be able to accomplish.

Starting XI, still a lot of missing players.

Miretti will be the next top player.

The poor creation of attacks in the Sassuolo defense is the reason Milan's dominance is in vain.  Fortunately, Milan managed to avoid defeat in this match, because they really struggled even though statistically they were able to dominate.  Stefano Pioli must also immediately evaluate his attack line ahead of the derby match at the weekend.

in the end, Milan probably tried without trying to reveal themselves too much
the sassuolo heroically defended every attempt without seeming convincing
but either way, they both took a point home

bad for Milan, because with future commitments, who knows if these 2 points will make a difference: they were afraid to dare

Currently, Milan has eight points from four matches which are still acceptable because they have some off the field issues and fail to buy few players due to lack of funds, and now they are still doing much better than expectations against lower quality teams their biggest test is coming in next week when they are going to face Inter in the derby match which is surely give better shape of this team and their future in this season.

Against Sassuolo they were in complete control but sadly unable to score any goal and their luck works with home team missed the penalty which was surely a good thing for them, and they were able to steal one point from this match where mostly feelings were against them.

[Velvet78]

Milan have an away game against Sassuolo tomorrow. They have had a nice superiority over Sassuolo in the recent times. And they started the season with good results also. Considering that Sassuolo couldn't even defeat Juventus when they had many goal opportunities and lost that one 3-0, Milan should be able to win this as well. Giroud is still continuing to be helpful for the team now but I would like to see Origi more often too. He deserves a chance in the starting eleven to show his skills.

I agree with your prediction. Since AC Milan is a very productive team and Sassuolo is quite weak on the defensive line, AC Milan should win the upcoming match with some goals. Even Juventus can beat Sassuolo with 3 goals and no conceded goal. Considering Milan is a stronger team than Juventus, the upcoming match is ideally an easy match. By the way, to make AC Milan attacking more aggressive, I think it is time to put Origi as a starter over Giroud. Stefano Pioli (AC Milan coach) can release Giroud as a substitute player. It is time to regenerate the Milan striker with a younger CF (Origi), Ibrahimovic and Giroud shouldn't play full-time anymore.

And we had a really unexpected result at the end. 

It must be one of the poorest performances for Milan when it comes to having shots on target. Sassuolo missed a penalty with Berardi which might have changed the game completely too. Maybe then Milan would be more careful with their attacks to make a comeback. I didn't know that Origi was injured by the way therefore it must be the reason why we haven't seen him much yet.

I place a bet on Milan over 1.5 goals and my bet lost as a result. I was confident about this bet actually because Milan were easily finding at least two goals against Sassuolo in their past games.

Today, if you look at the schedule, it seems that big teams will still find it easy to face their opponents because if we look at Juventus today, they will face Spezia and Napoli will face Lecce who have not been able to show their good performance until now.
I think it will be a pretty good thing for them because obviously to keep competing they need to win and this is the right time.

Well sometimes easy games happen sometimes difficult games, but in the Italian league you have to play to win.
You cannot field a team of "reserve people" because you risk losing against Sassuolo too.

Look at the tie he tore.

Actually in this case it is true when they say about the match anything can happen but when you look at the conditions it is clear that their chances are better than the opposing team.

Btw currently Juventus are still leading 1-0 and Napoli are still with the score drawn at this time. But with Napoli's condition, I think they can still play by adding more goals in the second half, especially since the match will take a long time because the second half has just started.

Juventus is still leading 1-0 in the 60th minute and the result is pretty low so far. Dusan Vlahovic again scored from a free kick and again an amazing goal. Two goals in row from a free kick at this age is just insane. Hopefully they score 1 or 2 more goals to confirm the win.

If Milan lose again, this will make it even more difficult for Milan to catch up and compete for the championship. Hopefully this time Milan can win the game.

Score: Empoli, Udinese & Lazio leading for the first half.

We are still in the beginning of the season and even if Milan will lose the next game vs Inter, they can catch up the others in case they keep winning of course later.
Lazio dropped 2 points, Fiorentina lost, Napoli is still 1-1 after 60 minutes vs Lecce, while Juve is leading with 1 goal. So far Roma is leading the table.

Another superb game for Miretti, a star has been born at 19 yo.


2-0 good news for Di Maria back with the boys

[RealMalatesta]

Juventus is always included in the ranks of the team that is predicted to be one of the teams that won the Scudetto title. This season, the competition to win the Scudetto is a bit complicated, besides the team that always dominates the top four, now Roma are also starting to be counted.
So far Roma have shown the best game, Roma is growing with Mourinho. If Roma can maintain their form this season and there are not many main players injured, Roma will be able to compete with the strongest candidates for the Scudetto.

If Roma follows Jose Mourinho, they will certainly grow and a lot. In the end they just have to spend a little money to buy good (not necessarily expensive) players and learn tactics that have proved successful with other teams. It is not a trivial matter but in the meantime the results can be seen.

This is what he was missing all these years and that's the problem. Mourinho plays a certain style of football which is not terrible but a bit outdated, which means that the type of players he likes to see in his own teams do not look to be that common.

What I believe however is that if you keep him long enough, he will fill the team with the type of players he likes to see and that would result with the wins they were looking for. He had that long before, and now he has that again which will help him get more wins than Roma was expected to get. This is why there is a good hope that we would see Mourinho finally managing a team that he himself built, instead of just given to him and asked to get results.

[Rengga Jati]

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.

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.

That's also what I said, the result will be unpredictable.
And this really happened, mate.
The fact is that the result of Napoli vs Lecce was drawn 1 - 1 
Although Napoli has the ball possession much more than Lecce, in fact, Lecce was very ready with their defense lines were so ready and strong enough. However Napoli's attacking lines were also less accurate, Napoli missed several chances in front of the goal.

The different result is on Juventus which wins from Spezia with 2 - 0
The standing is very interesting in Serie A

Another superb game for Miretti, a star has been born at 19 yo.

2-0 good news for Di Maria back with the boys

However, the Juventus team is not stable so far. Juventus have not lost even one of the four matches. They are consistently playing well. Won two matches and drew two matches. The squad still has key players like Leonardo Bonucci, Federico Chiesa, and Paul Pogba injured. If they join the squad fully fit, the Juventus team will be stronger.

Di Maria's performance so far has been good enough. Di Maria is not a regular scorer. But we get better performances from DI Maria when the team needs it. Hopefully, we will see good performances from the trio of Dusan Vlahovic, Di Maria, and Chiesa this season.

Although Juventus are unbeaten in 4 matches, Juventus performance is still not optimal. In two games Juventus still dropped points,
but this is understandable as Juventus are still missing some of their main players through injury. But at least Angel Di Maria has recovered
from his injury and that's a very good thing for Juventus. Another positive thing Arkadiusz Milik as a new Juventus striker was finally able to
contribute by scoring a goal in the last minute of the match. Victory against Spezia eventually make Juventus return to the top 4 positions,
but that was also helped as AC Milan and Napoli failed to win. I hope that in the next match against Fiorentina, Juventus can show a better
performance and can win again. Moreover, Fiorentina's performance is bad this season by failing to win in 3 matches in a row,
so Juventus with better quality players should beat Fiorentina.

Still, we can't be underestimated, in fact, Juventus is the biggest club in Serie A, If we watch the previous session when they stumble at the start, Juventus will come back when it all goes down. So, get ready, not difficult to take over the Roma position, maybe they need 3 or 5 games with winning to beat the 3 biggest positions. and in fact Dusan on fire, he is the top score with 4 goals.

This is what he was missing all these years and that's the problem. Mourinho plays a certain style of football which is not terrible but a bit outdated, which means that the type of players he likes to see in his own teams do not look to be that common.

Mourinho is good with defense but he can force his players to play serious attacking if he wants. He can do it well but he just want to prioritize for defense first.

What I believe however is that if you keep him long enough, he will fill the team with the type of players he likes to see and that would result with the wins they were looking for. He had that long before, and now he has that again which will help him get more wins than Roma was expected to get. This is why there is a good hope that we would see Mourinho finally managing a team that he himself built, instead of just given to him and asked to get results.

Mourinho does not have good ability to manage his club and players for too long. He can build up connections with players, improve them and bring a whole team to success but later he usually has conflicts with clubs and players. Then he often escalate it more rather than de-escalate it that at the end causes a sack of Mourinho.

It is certainly that very few coaches can manage to gain a too long success and stability. They must have very flexible and good management as well as good support from club director board. In modern football, solid support from club is something hardly to get.

[Velvet78]

After the Sassuolo - Milan game, another most surprising result was in the Napoli - Lecce game. The first half was quite balanced. But the second half was under control of Napoli completely. Lecce had only one goal attempt then but they still managed to keep a 1-1 score until the end. After a great start I was wondering when they were going to have this kind of a result. But this was a little unexpected honestly. This is their second draw in a row after the Fiorentina game so their form has dropped very quickly already. But their effort is still promising for the rest of the season.

Sassuolo's team played very well against AC Milan, so they managed to get 1 point. AC Milan probably underestimated the Sassuolo team. So they did not perform well. Obviously, Sassuolo deserves that points.
But it was an unexpected result to drop points against Lecce today. Napoli's performance was pretty consistent. Despite sharing the points against Fiorentina, Fiorentina was a tough opponent. But Lecce is a weak team. Lecce has not even won a match this season. It was not expected that Napoli would drop points against such a weak team. Napoli should perform more cautiously when they play against relatively weaker teams.

Unfortunately, Juventus some time ago had been met with AS Roma and the result was still a draw because AS Roma realized that Juventus was the toughest opponent in the Serie A League so they had prepared a strategy well to defend and when the time was right they attacked accordingly. instructions or signals, If they can get another win then this is what makes it difficult for Juventus to catch up points from AS Roma.

[zuzie]

Today, if you look at the schedule, it seems that big teams will still find it easy to face their opponents because if we look at Juventus today, they will face Spezia and Napoli will face Lecce who have not been able to show their good performance until now.
I think it will be a pretty good thing for them because obviously to keep competing they need to win and this is the right time.

Unexpectedly, Lecce, who was considered unable to show their best performance, actually managed to draw with Napoli, while Juventus get three points after winning 2-0 from Spezia. Napoli, Juventus and Milan both still haven't shown their best game, where until the fourth week of Serie A each team has only win two wins and two draws. On the other hand, the rivalry between Roma and Inter continues after both managed to win in yesterday's match.
