Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[herurist]

Yes, Atalanta's chance to get a place in the European zone is still very open. Especially now that they are starting the season very well compared to other clubs. I think if they are able to maintain the current state, finishing in the Champions League zone is not impossible even though their opponents are now quite tough. The key is they don't lose points if they face a competitor for that spot.

Atalanta's chances of getting to the UCL next season may be tough, because this season the top team in Serie A has show us their good performance. However, we still don't know for sure how the team will perform in Serie-a in the next few weeks. Whether they can stay consistent or not. If there are 2 of the top teams in Serie A who are inconsistent while Atalanta manage to show their consistency, then Atalanta can have a chance to be in 4th position in the final standings.

Precisely with their current condition and no schedule that is too tight for them this can be an advantage for Atalanta this season so that they can make them better than other teams.
Last season they failed because they couldn't make a good rotation when their schedule was tight in matches, now it's a different thing because they can freely and focus only on Serie A while other clubs have to think about the league and other competitions.

As I said before, they must not drop points against competitors in the champions league position, and that means consistency they have to maintain. They don't have too tight a schedule compared to the others. That can be their advantage because physically they will be able to take care of it better. They have to take advantage of the advantages they have now.

I don't think it will be very hard for Atlanta to qualify for the champions League this season, because they are lot of the teams there that are very much better than them, the two Milan clubs inter and AC Milan will definitely qualify because they have the qualities and are even the favourite to lift the league trophy this season, then you talk about juventus who are building back and still in contention for the title, then there is Napoli and AS Roma who are better and did well in the transfer market than Atlanta.

In the past season, Atalanta failed to end in top four and it is like an ending for their great success period. In this season, they will have to compete with more competitors than previous seasons. Roma, Juventus, Napoli, Inter Milan, AC Milan and maybe Lazio as well.

Especially Juventus and Roma now are stronger and Atalanta is just the same, no improvement if not want to say their quality is lower and their tactics is no longer strange with other clubs.

[Razmirraz]

Atalanta have been very dangerous for several years only bad luck not going to the champions league this season. Even Pep when playing against atalanta praised the atalanta team and even lost many goals that should have been goals. Hopefully this season Atalanta will return to the UCL or other European zones.

Atalanta must maintain its performance to maintain its position as the leader of the standings, currently Atalanta is very comfortable at the top of the standings with 13 points from 5 matches. In the next match Atalanta will play against Cremonese, this match is very easy for Atalanta because Cremonese has only got 1 point from 5 matches.
Atalanta had to make amends last season for failing to qualify for the Champions League, this season they must always get a win to keep their position in the top four in order to qualify for the Champions League next season.

this is the real goal of my beloved Atalanta
their purpose is to strengthen and grow slowly

there have been years in which he was up and down from Serie B and he was all there because they slowly built the strong team that is now
slow and steady growth is better than peaks

I feel it is too early to start talking about who will and won't make it into the champions league next season, we haven't even played up to 10 games, there are too many matches still left to be played, and in football many things can happen unexpectedly, even when you never thought it will. In the seria a this season many teams are strong and looking dangerous, i think the Italian league is the most unpredictable league in Europe this season, it is very difficult to pick a winner, or pick the teams that will make up the top four, but certainly Atalanta are going to compete as best as they can.

[izsara]

Atalanta last season went very badly, but it happens.
As a fan I understand and do not make problems of this.
This season will go better, they are first but the data is partial: it depends on which matches they played, maybe they were simple compared to the others.

Atalanta have been very dangerous for several years only bad luck not going to the champions league this season. Even Pep when playing against atalanta praised the atalanta team and even lost many goals that should have been goals. Hopefully this season Atalanta will return to the UCL or other European zones.

Last season they had a lot of problems, especially in the irregular rotation of the players that made them have to be thrown in all competitions.
At the moment they are trying to get back on track by being a dark horse again, so it would be very good if Atalanta managed to make their form back like a few seasons before. Even though they can't compete for the championship, they are able to trouble big teams.

Several teams in this season's Serie A have been strong this season. At the moment Inter Milan, AC Milan, Juventus, Roma and Atalanta. Each team's squad is strong enough. So till now we cannot pick one or two teams who deserve to be champions. I think all the teams will have equal chances to win the title till the end of 14/15 matches in the season.

At the moment Atalanta and Napoli are first and second in the points table. But I don't trust these two parties. I guess they will lose form very quickly and slowly lose their position in the points table.

[boris singer]

I don't think, Atalanta will reduce their performance in this season because their coach has changed so many things from the team that will make them to finish this season well compared to last season that made their performance reduced at the end of the tournament. Now that Atalanta has moved to the top, I don't think they will drop down until they achieve this season title, because their strikers are well organized to work together to ensure they achieve many goals that will help them to remain unbeatable through out the tournament.

It's still fifty-fifty I think because anything can still happen even though in this case they only need to focus on Serie A now, but not necessarily their performance will still be the same as now when there are more and more matches in the future.
Atalanta are one club that have been very good this season but on the other hand they are evenly matched in terms of players so this could be really good it could be bad enough because it can be a double-edged sword.

[Alanaz]

I like what Mou said in this press conference because indeed in this case he also realizes what he has to improve to make Roma bounce back, but is it true that with this he will return to using the same formation as 3-4-2-1 because if they wanted to attack maybe it would be better to put more pressure with 4-3-3 or maybe by putting pressure on 3-5-2 because in my opinion when you want to attack with a 3-4-2-1 formation, this is definitely enough. burden the defenders when receiving a quick counterattack.

Roma looks like a blunder when putting Tammy in front without Dybala as a supply. When I look at the previous how they win, Dybala is used as a shadow to mess up the defender, at this time I can't see them on Udinese. As I know, there is 1 lack of Mourinho, His strategy is very easy to read by opponents. He doesn't improve it on every match, so that the opponent can turn it off and surpass them whatever the formation.

For the placement of dybala behind Tammy, they are a little smaller in messing with opposing defenders but at least they keep 4 defenders behind so that when they attack and counter attacks come they are not too surprised by it.
They are not very good at having 3 defenders with a lot of midfielders I think so indeed a 4-3-3 could be ideal with Zaniolo and Dybala on the wing.

[Sterbens]

I didn't think that Atalanta could be so much better now. Because if you look at last season they even struggled to at least be in a European place. Now they lead the standings with 4 wins and a draw. I hope they can maintain that and participate in the struggle for the Scudetto title this season. If they can afford it, it will be even more interesting.

Compared to other Scudetto contenders, Atalanta have been left without Euro cups this season, and therefore they can completely focus on Serie A. If Gasperini could make the team play more stable, then I think Atalanta could well compete for the Scudetto this season. The next matches will be with Roma and Fiorentina this is a good test of what the team is capable of now, a good time to try to gain a foothold at the top of the standings.

[BitcoinAccepted]

It's about time Atlanta could use some great success. They have been playing nice football for years and have received a lot of praise, but in the end they end up empty-handed every season. Time to harvest now. They have serious championship chances, especially because the competition is taking a lot of points from each other and Atalanta is doing what it has to do and that is just winning the games. I don't know if Atalanta can keep it up to the end, but a few seasons ago they also finished 2nd. So why not once first and get the title.

Of course Atalanta can focus their strength for Serie A this season because Atalanta did not participate in many other competitions because they closed the season in the previous period in 8th place. If we refer to the Scudetto title competition, Atalanta does have a chance to achieve it, but we have to look at the consistency of the Gasperini men in the upcoming match. in Serie A this season, there were several mid-table teams last season who looked stunning at the start of this season such as Udinese and Atalanta. they just need to be consistent in every game that will come.

atalanta is a good team, I had the opportunity to watch some of their games, but I don't believe they managed to win the series A, we are still at the beginning of the season, there are still many games to be played and the teams will still have a chance to buy more players when the market opens and that will change a lot the performance of each team and the ranking of each team, that's why I believe that atalanta will not win the series Unless of course they invest more in players next time the market opens, something I believe that wouldn't happen.

until now the only strong opponent that atalanta faced was milan, they have been playing against weak teams, of course that would make them to be at the top, their big challenge will start when they start playing against strong teams like napoli, roma, juventus and inter, but for now the atalanta has the great luck to play against very weak opponents and can accumulate many points before starting to play against strong opponents

It always gives a team an upper hand and a confidence boost when they score the first goal in a game, since Roma have been having difficulties getting goals it is better to open the scoring and getting the lead. Tammy Abraham and Dybala's partnership seems good enough to get goals probably they have been unlucky but they say practice makes perfect right? They should work more on their shooting skills.

Atalanta have shown good performances in the last five matches, they managed to top the standings with 13 points, Atalanta are only two points adrift of Napoli and Milan who are in second and third place. It is not certain that Atalanta will continue to be at the top of the standings, because Gasperini's troops have yet to meet other strong teams such as Napoli, Inter, Roma and Juventus. The only match that saw Atalanta drop two points was against Milan.
This time Atalanta is absent in European competition, they can focus more on Serie A, players have more rest hours compared to other teams. Atalanta need to keep their main players from getting injuries that can interfere with the team's performance. Next week Atalanta can extend their winning streak as the team they are facing is yet to win this season.

But even despite this defeat, not everything is so bad - Roma is still above both Juventus and Inter and is only one point behind Milan and Napoli. I think that Mourinho will benefit from this defeat by setting up the mind set of players correctly. Sometimes a major defeat is necessary in order to more objectively evaluate your strengths and work harder. I liked his interview after the game where he said that one 0-4 defeat is better than four 0-1 defeats.

As a matter of fact, I thought Roma was going to have a better result. There was even a chance that Roma could actually win this match. However, this did not end up happening. Roma suffered a very humiliating loss in this match. However, it is understandable why something like this happened. They had made some very rookie mistakes in that match. The mistakes that were made at this level cannot be forgiven. As a result of those mistakes, they were punished very badly. In that match, Roma had a few chances to make something out of those chances, but they were not able to take them. Hopefully, they are going to work on the problems that they have found in order to fix them. The team has only played five matches so far this season, so there is still a lot of room for improvement.

No one expected such a result, but for Serie A, unexpected failures of the leaders are already commonplace. I don't agree with your analysis, Roma didn't make any rookie mistakes. They were just unlucky with the fact that Udinese scored first and then just sat in defense and played counter attacks. This is a killer tactic against a team that must try to win at all costs. On this day the Udinese were lucky. This is a good lesson and Roma needs to get used to the fact that many opponents will play against it in this way.

Jose Mourinho needs to work on his attacking players, they have to be clinical in front of goal because you win games when you score goals, you could create chances and hold up possession and lose or draw a game when you don't score and that was the situation for Roma against Udinese. One way or the other Mourinho has to get this right to win games and stay up the league table.

Atlanta has always been a team that has shown good promise, but they have never been able to deliver on their promise.
For me, it is not really surprising to see them at the top of the table at the moment. However, the problem is that they are going to most likely drop from that position within a very short period of time.

However, I also cannot deny the fact that they have been playing well over the course of the last few weeks. They should be able to play well when you give them easy opponents like Monza, so it shouldn't be a problem. As well as that, they have an easy match coming up. It is my expectation that they will also win that match as well. The real test will take place when they will have to face more difficult opponents in the future. It is unlikely that they will be able to maintain the first position on the table for more than two weeks in a row.
