Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[zuzie]

As a Roma supporter, I still believe in Mourinho, thanks to him we ended our fast of winning titles in Europe. This is just one game, it's actually good to lose to Udinese at the beginning of the season, so that the Roma players are aware and can improve. Stay optimistic that you can finish in the top 4.

To finish in the top four, at least Roma have to get rid of Juventus who previously occupy that position last season
If look at the achievements of Milan and Napoli until the 5th week of Serie A, it is possible that both of them have the potential to stay in the top four.
And Atalanta has improved in performance this season, even until week 5 Atalanta became one of the strongest teams in Serie A which led them to lead the standings.
While Inter, who entered the top four of Serie A last season, have had quite a serious problem this season, it seems Inter have not been able to find their best game this season.

I believe Inter can handle it, after suffering losses in the last two match, coach Inzaghi will probably put his full strength to avoid defeat from Torino in the coming days.
After that in the seventh week of Serie A Inter will face Udinese, Udinese's performance is at its peak and they have the opportunity to beat Inter.

Inter must make the most of the match against Torino so that their position does not sink further in the Serie A standings.

In last four matches Inter lost three which is surely matter of concern for the Inzaghi and his players as they only won one match and this was against new promoted side Cremonese now in coming matches they are going to face sides which are having good result in recent time which mean they have to done something special for having better results from these matches.

Inzaghi is good coach and have good strategies which can help him for these matches and having good results, but they need to start from now as time is running out and if they fail to have better results as soon as possible as surely they can go more down and even out of the title race.

Jose Mourinho could said not easy how to build AS Roma become solid team, but not really bad with first season achievement success got UEFA Conference League, but defeated by Udinese last week make Jose Mourinho bad reputation exactly loss with bigger score 4-0. Jose Mourinho still need to add several player on next window transfer opening although he has make balanced with AS Roma team player on half season can finish on top standing position.
Serie A more competitive in this season without have many different points and standing position, I think still have chance for AS Roma make better position standing finish in this season because Atalanta as 1th place standing just 3 points different from AS Roma, I think if can consistent for next match will have chance back to the top position again for AS Roma.

All coaches have suffered big losses against underdogs. This is not entirely a mistake but it could be a stroke of luck for Udinese because in that match the coach and player strategies could not be applied properly. So, Roma became unable to maintain their defense. If only because of this defeat or the subsequent defeats in the future then Roma Board considers sacking Mourinho, I'm worried that AS Roma will take longer to get back into the big 4.

It is my opinion that this is not something to worry about too much at the moment. As early as this is in the season, there are always going to be a few mishaps like this that are bound to happen. It will be interesting to see if they can fix the problems that they currently have and come back stronger than they were before. Jose Mourinho is going to be able to make the right decisions and be able to control his troops well in the future, in my opinion.

So that they will be able to make a strong comeback. The next match that Roma is going to play is against Empoli. During this season, Empoli has not even managed to win a single game. As a result, I think Roma will be able to make a strong statement in that match, proving their credentials.

They have to improve their defense and midfield in my opinion because if we look now especially in the last 4 matches they have always conceded goals and the number of goals they have conceded is actually not small because in 4 matches they have conceded 9 goals which means their goal conceded ratio is at least 2.xx per match. Of course this is not very good for a team that can be considered a big team in Serie A.

That's right, because I still feel that Inter and Milan will still be in the top 2 positions so that the real chance of position 3 is still up for grabs.
But indeed to reach the top 4 positions there are at least 4 candidates who can fill the remaining slots for Inter and Milan in this position, namely Roma, Napoli, Juventus and Atalanta.
Depending on who is the best at going through the season he is the one who can be in that position.

Roma's performance in this match was completely unexpected. Roma's performance has been quite good in all the previous matches. Especially their defence was very strong. But against Udinese, Roma's defence completely crumbled. Udinese didn't attack much. Even so, Roma conceded four goals.

I don't think Roma will sack Mourinho. Roma's management paid Mourinho very little to build the team. If Mourinho had underperformed after spending so much money, maybe Roma management would have considered sacking him.

It's fine, Mourinho is a perfect fit for Roma, there isn't a rushed "win the title now" type of deal in Roma and all he has to do is finish in UCL places, let's assume that milan-inter-juventus will be the top three in the league, that fourth position is wide open and he could bring the team there.

This would mean that they would earn a good amount of money from champions league entrance, and they would keep on spending that money to get better. Mourinho is a great coach but he is a slow one, he doesn't take over a team and suddenly makes them amazing, last year he already won a cup for them, this year if he finishes 4th then I think it's a great thing for Roma.

What do you mean? Udinese made 11 shots, 5 shots on target. It was much better than AS Roma, they only made 2 shots on target. Considering the stats, Udinese has a good attack, they played aggressively and have good accuracy in shooting. It is a bit strange if you think Udinese don't attack so much in that match.

Sure. Roma has no big reason to fire him now. In general, Mourinho is quite successful to lead AS Roma winning most of the matches in the early season. Although they were defeated by Udinese on Matchday 5, it is still understandable. In fact, the point gap with Atalanta which leads Serie A standings is only 3 points. Also, AS Roma still has a chance to compete for the title since there are still too many matches left.

Do 11 shots sound like too much to you? They managed to score four goals by making only 11 shots. If Udinese had scored a goal or two I would have said they were more attacking. But they scored four goals with only 11 shots, it is easy to understand that the performance of Roma's defenders was very poor in this match. On the other hand, Roma could not score a goal despite making a total of 12 shots. In many matches, we have seen many teams make more than 20 shots but not score more than 1 or 2 goals.

Can't find any reason to sack Mourinho. Maybe Roma played badly in both matches. Hope Mourinho can solve his weaknesses quickly. Roma's attack has not been very strong this season. So Mourinho should use their strong defence to organize the match strategy. I believe the experienced Mourinho can strengthen this Roma squad.

Inter Milan will host Torino, surely this is not an easy match for Inter Milan. Torino have bagged a few wins this season and are slightly better off than Inter Milan although they haven't really got a tough opponent. Now Inter Milan must be wary of movements from Torino, because once they let their guard down it could be a defeat for Inter Milan.

I don't think, Inter Milan will allow Torino to defeat them at home today, because Inter Milan know how to use home advantage to achieve victory from any team in this tournament. Since Inter Milan coach has worked on their defense, I think it will be difficult for Torino strikers to have opportunity to score many goals from inter Milan in this match, because Inter Milan defenders are well organized not to allow such thing to happen to them in this match. Inter Milan will defeat Torino 2-1 for the favour of Inter Milan for people to believe that Inter Milan are still more stronger than Torino in this Italian league competition.

Inter will not lose because the bad end result for Inter in this match is a draw, please pay attention to how Torino get points and how Torino get a draw and lose. I think that is something that is clear when it comes to who Torino has beaten so far and also, head to head is not on Torino's side and moreover this is an away match for Torino. I personally don't doubt Inter's quality, although now they have a point gap of one point but that doesn't mean Torino is stronger and it doesn't mean Torino will be able to beat Inter easily either.

It's true, even though their points are very close but that can't be the reason why Torino will win this match. Their points are tight too because it's just the start of the season so something like this will happen. If we look at least until the middle of the season, it will be seen how the distance between them is. I have no doubts about Inter Milan in this match, they will win even on a tight goal difference.

Roma is like to a switch that is occasionally turned on and off. They haven't impressed me with their performances thus far, but I don't believe it is sufficient cause to fire the coach. They should take it extremely seriously because there is space for improvement. Specifically, their defense, pace, and finishing. Udinese will definitely make it to the Conference league if they keep at this pace this season.

Despite losing against AC Milan in the previous match, Inter Milan will make no mistake against Torino. Torino is in good form right now. Their achievement is 10 points in 5 matches. Inter Milan's performances have not been consistent, but their squad is quite strong. I have seen the statistics of Inter Milan vs Torino head-to-head matches. Inter Milan has won 4 of their last 5 matches against Torino. And a match was drawn. Torino's team could not win a single match against Inter Milan. However, I guess Inter Milan will not lose points against Torino. Inter Milan will win this match by 2-1 or 3-1 goals.

@Swordsoffreedom Mourinho’s team are known for strong defences, but after losing 4 - 0 they again lost yesterday and knowing Mourinho I’m pretty sure that he’ll be super upset with his player’s. Furthermore Roma can’t afford to fire him especially when he’s building this team into genuine title contenders, therefore I believe that they’ll give him some more time to turn around the results.

Jose Mourinho continues to make positive changes for the progress of AS Roma after his arrival last season even in his first year he immediately presented the title for AS Roma, I think because last weekend's 4-0 defeat cannot be a reference that he has failed and Roma's performance has been poor . There is a decline in performance in certain weeks is a natural thing in football, because if you look at the overall quality of Roma's game is now increasing after being handled by Jose Mourinho.
And I don't believe that Roma will sack Jose Mourinho just because of last week's defeat, that won't happen. Mourinho has been groomed for a long-term project with Roma.

Inter are losing a lot of games, last 0-1 in europe
I don't see Inzaghi well, if he continues this negative streak I think they will send him away and take another coach
indeed I'm sure it will happen

To be honest, it wasn't Mourinho's fault in this game where AS Roma lost 0-4 to Udinese. AS Roma lost both Wijnaldum and Zaniolo before the match. Forced AS Roma have to play double pivot midfield with Cristante and Matic. The result is a disaster but not too many options for Mourinho as AS Roma don't have a list of reliable players to sub and replace.
As Mourinho said after the match ended, you lost 1 match with the result 0-4 better than losing 4 matches in a round with the result 0-1 each.

True, how is it possible to say Jose Mourinho failed after what he gave for AS Roma. Indeed the defeat was disappointing, but we can't see in just one game the result is a loss for them. I think it's unfair to judge like that. Overall now AS Roma are much better, their winning record is proof that Jose Mourinho can be said to be successful in dealing with AS Roma.

[boltz]

Mourinho losing once and the fans are going crazy... . In my opinion, Mourinho saved Roma when he came and the entire city knows it so even if you like Mourinho or you don't , he is one of the greatest coach ever who didn't back down from a challenge like coaching As.Roma when the team was in a free fall. Also , they are the champions of Conference League so I suppose they can afford to lose 1 game...

It's very difficult to find a team that has the performance you want. In other leagues, teams that look superior can still lose. Especially in Serie A, even though AS Roma lost to a team that is not a favourite, this is something we usually find in football. Even if we look at the Premier League, something like this can happen every week.
