Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Z-tight]

a strange championship, with many teams that are already fighting for a few points (very nice from my point of view)

Very nice too from my own point of view, in the last two years i have developed more interest in the Italian seria a, back when it was Juventus winning it every season, i hardly had an interest to follow the league because i already knew the winner from the beginning, but then Inter Milan came and broke that dominance, and the next winner was AC Milan, but this very season is looking so unpredictable, i think in all Europe this season, the Italian seria a is the one you can't predict two teams of which one will win the title, there are about five teams in Italy now that you can pick to win the title, that is the type of competition i love to see.

FC Empoli  - AS Roma

I knew Roma will win the match initially, because they have lose their last matches in serial A and also in European champion leagues, I am expecting great work from the team in their next matches. I believe in Mourinho as a coach but let see what will happen, he's always their to competite and win trophy, but the main problem with Mourinho now is that he's always finding it difficult to win top clubs of the league especially juventus, ac Milan, inter milan but we are looking forward to see what will happen before the serie A matches reach 15 to know where the club will fall in.

In the end, Roma managed to win the match 2-1. Roma is again in the fifth place of the points table with 13 points due to the victory in this match. Roma's performance was very composed in this match. But there is no way to say that Empoli's performance was poor. Empoli's boys played very well and scored a lot of goals. But due to Mourinho's experienced match strategy and Roma's strong defense, Empoli was not able to score.

Roma didn't attack much in this match. They probably made 13 shots. But every Roman attack was organized. 7 out of 13 shots were probably on target. Empoli would have conceded several more goals if Empoli's goalkeeper had not performed well.

Roma is leading with 2 goals to 1 vs Empoli with only few minutes left in the game and a red card for Empoli.
Roma will eventually win but the risk of a late goal is always present in Serie A games. Juve was able to save 1 point late without counting the offside and the red cards at the end of the game..

Empoli had to give up at home with a score of 1-2 to win As roma. Finally As roma was able to rise in this match after swallowing two defeats in the previous match. Dybala became the star of the field in this match by contributing one goal and one assist. he really plays quite actively by diligently picking up the ball in the middle area. Tammy abraham became the decisive player for As roma victory by scoring a goal in the 70th minute. Empoli must admit that this match was really difficult for them because AS Roma players were able to penetrate their solid defense in this match and this defeat was also tortured with 1 red card received Akpa Akpro.

Empoli 1-2 Roma  (80th minutes)

We are enjoying a very competitive match. I thought the match between Empoli and Roma would be one-sided. But Empoli's players are performing well. Dybala scored the first goal for Roma. Dybala put Roma ahead with a goal in just 17 minutes. But before the end of the first half, Filippo Bandinelli's goal tied the match at 1-1.

Roma's gameplay was more organized in the second half. However, Empoli's players attacked a lot. But they could not break Roma's strong defense. In the 71st minute of the match, Dybala's pass from Tammy Abraham gave Roma a 2-1 lead. Probably Roma will win the match 2-1.

This is what I expected, Roma played very well in this match even though they conceded in the last minute of the first half but they were able to score the winning goal and make them take 3 points in this game.
Now they are pushing to 5th place in the table and this is a very good thing for them.

Now they are pushing to 5th place in the table and this is a very good thing for them.

As Roma side really played to win in the game, hence they did extremely well in the field of play, Paulo Dybala gave them that lead in the game by scoring at the 17th minutes of the game before their opponent came with an equalizing goal at around the 43rd minutes, while Tammy Abraham sealed up the game. A lot of fouls committed by Empoli that made them to conceive up to 3 yellow cards and 1 red card and that was ugly action from Empoli. Dybala really impressed me with his goal, this shows sign of improvement and his ability to blend with his team mates as he recently moved to Roma during the just concluded summer transfer.

[Issa56]

I was quite upset with Juventus encounter against Salernitana yesterday which ended in a 2-2, Juventus has not been playing well since the beginning of this current  season, I anticipate the team to be in the top position by this games played so far. With this poor performance in both their league and the Champions League, I'm not sure the club have anything to offer this season. I don't even know what's happening to juventus or is the problem from the coach?  The Juventus I knew four years ago is not the team I seeing two years back.

[TelolettOm]

The result of a draw match 2 - 2between Juventus and Salernitana is a complete contradiction. Did the referee not see the player and thus invalidate the goal?
and the game between the two was very hot and high tension, especially the number of red cards issued. This time, Juventus were really disappointed with the result, not only because of the draw but because of some contradictory refereeing decisions.

I don't think it's entirely the referee's fault because on the pitch there was a bad game and Juventus had to get a red card twice that was really terrible, Juventus should keep playing calm and don't be influenced by Salernitana so that there won't be a red card that is detrimental because can't play with a complete team.

This contradiction is not about the red card, but about the goals that occurred in the match. As I said, yesterday's match had very high tension. Some players feel emotional because the goal was annulled. So they felt dissatisfied and ended up making several mistakes that led to a red card, including the Juventus coach himself.

Btw, congratulations to Roma, that was a tough game vs Empoli, moreover, Empoli was very offensive in this match. Fortunately, Roma's defense was good enough, so so many shots done by Empoli players only could score 1. The match seems balanced, both gave their fighting enough.

[Ratash]

An important win for roma team today despite being with a small margin and it was enough for them to secure a place in tge top five and with only one point from the leaders, the game was really tough and they were so close to losing point after pellegrini lost penalty they were lucky akpa akpro shot hit the post and not the net.

[Velvet78]

There was a turning point for Empoli after Pellegrini missed the penalty but the red card ended all the hopes left for them. It wasn't an easy win at all for Roma above all else. Empoli also had so many goal opportunities but they weren't as capable as Roma as for finishing. Dybala was the savior for Roma indeed by one goal and an assist. Since he came to Roma there has been a significant improvement in his performance (3 goals, 2 assists in 6 league games). They needed this win a lot to refresh themselves after that horrible Udinese loss.

man I watched every game and I must confess that roma needs to have a more efficient attack, they still don't have an attack that causes many dangers to the opponent, for example they arrived several times in the goal of empoli, but they didn't cause danger every time they they arrived at empoli's goal, but when empoli arrived at rome's goal they caused a great danger, I think mourinho needs to draw attention to his forwards in this game Paulo Dybala and Tammy Abraham are trying hard, but something needs to change in the strategy or formation, to make the team cause a lot of danger in its attacks

FC Empoli  - AS Roma
 - snip-
FC Empoli is a very good team, but they seem to be collecting draws, there are already 4 consecutive draws and on the other side we have Roma who have had good defense, but in the last 2 games they have failed in defense and have some problems in attack, but still roma is better than FC Empoli, of course in this game even empoli can win, but I preferred to take the risk of betting on roma

Roma is leading with 2 goals to 1 vs Empoli with only few minutes left in the game and a red card for Empoli.
Roma will eventually win but the risk of a late goal is always present in Serie A games. Juve was able to save 1 point late without counting the offside and the red cards at the end of the game..

i confess that when empoli drew the game i thought roma would lose this game, empoli wasted some clear opportunities that would make them win the game, there are still some things that roma needs to improve if they want to win serie A

for me it seemed that today the defense is more attentive although there were some mistakes in which empoli could have taken advantage and won the game, i hope that in the next games mourinho will be able to make rome have a more effective defense and a better attack

They needed this win a lot to refresh themselves after that horrible Udinese loss.

Roma finally won after beating Empoli, this is a very important victory for Roma. With this victory, Roma rose to 5th position and is only one point
away from Napoli who are at the top. Roma, who appeared to be attacking since the beginning of the match, finally managed to create a goal
in the 17th minute, which Dybala managed to score a beautiful goal. But Empoli, who did not want to lose, immediately responded by scoring a goal
in the 43rd minute. It seems that in the dressing room, Mourinho managed to motivate Roma players, and in the second half Roma appeared
more aggressive. What made Roma managed to create a goal in the 71st minute, which was scored by Abraham receiving an assist from Dybala.

After that the game went more exciting and finally in the 79th minute Roma got a penalty, unfortunately Lorenzo Pellegrini's penalty hit the crossbar.
Then the atmosphere of the match got hotter, and Empoli had to get a red card in the 87th minute. By playing only 10 men it made it difficult for Empoli
to equalize, so the game ended with Roma's victory. Truly an entertaining and thrilling match. I agree Dybala played very well and deserved to be
man of the match by scoring one goal and providing one assist.

most of As Roma's matches were not one sided, that loss against Udinese was a little bit concerning, so it was logical to not see them win easily, Empoli were on a streak of draws, and to be honest when they equalized i really thought about betting on the match to end in a draw, Roma are giving their opponents the ball for most of the match, it's risky unless you have a very good defense, we saw how it didn't workout against Udinese, we will probably another big loss for them.

Yes, this is of course an encouraging result for Romanisti after being made by his opponent twice in a row with a pretty striking score. This victory is also very important to maintain the opportunity to continue to be in a pretty good position and only one point ahead of the leaders. In addition, this victory is also a capital to increase the confidence of Roma players and to prepare for the second week of the Europa League.

Dybala seems to be happier in Rome compared to his time at Juventus. Its performance has also increased. They have a very good offensive area, but one should also consider that their defensive aspects have to be strong as well. If Roma keep their defense weak like this, they will score more goals. When the offensive side is strong but the defensive side is weak, it doesn't make any sense. Roma must have a very good defensive line. They have only 1 defeat at the moment and I can say that they went well.

Dybala seems to be happier in Rome compared to his time at Juventus. Its performance has also increased.

Dybala scored one goal and had one assist to Abraham. What an excellent match from Dybala! He was still unlucky as in that match, he hit the woodwork again.

They have a very good offensive area, but one should also consider that their defensive aspects have to be strong as well.

Roma is always good with offense but not too good with defensive. The appearance of Mourinho helps them to improve their defense a lot already but still need to improve more.

Roma must have a very good defensive line. They have only 1 defeat at the moment and I can say that they went well.

They need to improve both. In defense, improve it stronger to reduce conceded goals. In offense, they must improve the conversion rate from chances, expected goals to real goals. They must achieve such improvements if they want to not only end in top four but also to win Scudetto.

In the second week of Europe, Roma will host HJK Helsinki at the Stadio Olimpico
With the changes that Mourinho has made this season and added with the host status, I think Roma have a great chance of getting their first win in the group stage of the Europa League. And yesterday's win against Empoli proved that Roma's condition is a little better

I don't think, Roma will go far in this tournament because their midfielders are not well balance to supply enough opportunity to their strikers to achieve many goals that will make people to believe that this Italian league title belong to them . If Roma coach can work on their midfield before their next match, I think it will make them to remain unbeatable until they achieve the title . Empoli really demonstrated well in this match for them to achieved 1 goal from the match despite they loss to Roma 1-2, because their strikers really missed many goals that would have make them to win the match to improve their points.

[bering]

Finally Roma has return to winning track again today that Dybala has playing well and help the team but the defense of Roma should be more improved by Mourinho because on that match i can see Empoli players can threaten Roma defense several times and almost scoring goals but luckily they cannot utilized that and wasting the chances and next schedules will be more hard for Roma besides they have to play on Europa League this Thursday and this weekend too they have to playing against tough team Atalanta

It's Dybala's turn now! I don't want to talk about Dybala and Tammy at the moment but they are both having a great time. It was the best combination that produced beautiful results. The only thing I like about Dybala is that he scores wonderful goals. Oftentimes, we give Mourinho some praises because he does these things so well, he really deserves them. Moreover, he must maintain a very good defensive line to prevent any goals from being conceded.
