Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Swordsoffreedom]

A bizarre end to the Juventus match, with no less than 4 red cards at the end. Where do you still see such denouements? Great for the neural football spectator. The worst of all is that the goal (the 3-2) was wrongly disallowed. Don't they have VAR there that can check things well there? I think the VAR should have seen this, now Juventus has just been robbed of 2 important points. Juventus already had a bad/moderate start, and it has only gotten worse. I also did not expect the 1-1 of Atalanta.

I don't think, Juventus will achieve anything from this tournament because their performance in some matches made people to believed that this season is not for Juventus.  I believe, what happened to Juventus in this match is for them to learn a lesson on how to be careful with football rules. I know many people are not happy about what happened to Juventus that made some of their players to received yellow card and red card from the match, because many people predicted for Juventus to defeat their opponent 3-1 but the game changed for the favour of Juventus opponent at the end of the match.

Juventus' gameplay has not been consistent since the start of the season. If the goal is to win the title, you have to perform better. Juventus have drawn 4 of the last 5 matches. Their performance against Salernitana in the last match was a complete mess. Despite many attacks, they could not win. They could not win because they were behind 2-0 in the first half. Juventus' defence needs to be more stable. Today's match opponent Benfica is strong enough. If the performance of the defenders is not good, today's match will also be a draw.

I totally agree with you
there is no dialogue between the departments, the players seem lost
I don't understand why it happens honestly, Allegri is a good coach
all this obviously makes the team fragile and characterless

If only looking good and being honest will not give the players the chance to grow better because the players need a firm coach to be able to make the players excited to train and can produce a lot of good players, at least this is all for the benefit of the players and the big name Juventus if the management wants to replace Allegri with another coach then the coaches must be able to accept and have to be able to adapt again.

But look when he was on the bench last time it didn't hurt
I don't know what's changed or what's going on, it's like a weird situation
I'm sorry because if there are more teams fighting for the Scudetto, the championship becomes fun
so Juventus cannot

Yes they have not found their true selves. The life of their game is almost invisible, eventually it has an impact on a messy game. And if their game is not well organised, how will they win the game? Relying on luck? They can't get it all the time.
Instead of getting maximum points in each match, they actually struggle even if only to play a draw.

What an important result inter Milan archive in the champions League that will do them or give them more confidence in the Saria A, it was an important victory and is good seeing Edin dzeko scoring and having an assist, he needs this goal because right now inter will depend on him to be providing goals since Lukaku is still out, lautaro Martinez can't do it on his own, the Italian league is tough this season, Napoli are playing like a team that have something to prove after challenging inter Milan and AC Milan throughout last season and just three points behind the champion AC Milan last season.

Yes it was a deserved victory for Inter Milan, after all Viktoria Plzen is the last club in Group C in my opinion. We can see the difference between these 2 clubs, even looking at the statistics it's already very much different. Viktoria Plzen was only able to record one kick on goal, while Inter Milan recorded 8 shots on goal from 19 attempts.

Allegri seems to be going through difficult times when dealing with Juventus, at the beginning of this season he got many unsatisfactory results and far from the expectations of many who wanted Allegri to be able to successfully bring back Juventus as before.
at the moment Juventus are lagging behind several other Serie A teams and with their current form a lot needs to change and I think a team that is getting worse will take a long time to bounce back.

And if Juventus replaces Allegri I don't think it's the right choice because if they do of course the adaptation process between players and coaches will take a little longer and it's likely that they will continue to fall behind.

[Razmirraz]

Even though they won, AS Roma's game could not be said to be good. Even against Empoli who are below them the quality is still very difficult.
But this victory can add to their confidence again after last week swallowed a very embarrassing result. This is an important asset for them for the next match.

Roma and Mourinho are realistic that they are not too strong to play a beauty and sexy football but at the same time can achieve good results. They are realistic to be flexible by adjusting their tactics by opponents and different times within a match. They won against Empoli by an excellent performance of Dybala and some moments of their star players. Their defense especially the goalkeeper Patricio did played a good match to protect their leading goal until the final whistle.

Roma squad is far from perfect, Mourinho still can't make Roma like Ancelotti did at Real Madrid. Although Roma have brought in several top players, their arrival has not been able to make Roma appearance always consistent. 4-0 defeats to Udinese in Serie A and Ludogorets Razgrad 2-1 in the Europa League further strengthened speculation that Roma are not ready to become Serie A champions. Mourinho has just made amends in the previous two matches by giving Roma a win after beating Empoli, but the journey Roma is still very far away from the championship ladder. Mourinho must make Roma performances always consistent in order to achieve his goals at the end of the season.

[Pmalek]

Regardless if it's the referee's fault and the VAR then I don't think Juventus are at their best. I don't think they are a strong team this season even though the big name is a bit scary for opponents, but the form this team has is much different.

They are far from a strong team. When facing Juventus, weaker teams used to defend the entire match and hope they will get away with a draw. Now, no matter who they play against, their opponents are attacking them and controlling the ball while Juve is defending.

By the management reacting do you mean they should fire Allegri already?

If Juventus losses against Benfica tonight, they will have a hard time qualifying and Allegri has to go. I doubt they will fire him because the severance pay would be high. He earns over €7 million a season. And they will have to pay him that money plus find a better coach who will be equally expensive or cost more if they want success.

Does anyone remember that when the season started, everyone was saying that Juventus is not going to perform well because they have some injury problems in the team?

But contrary to popular belief Juventus started performing quite well. And everyone was actually surprised that this type of performance was being produced by Juventus.

They did and they still have injury problems, but that's part of the game. A good team needs squad depth to be able to replace any player at any time. The first match against Sassuolo doesn't show the real performance of the team. When people see a 3:0 final result, they assume Juve played a good game. They didn't. Sassuolo had more of the ball and were better. But Juve took advantage of the few scoring opportunities they were given, hence the 3 goals. But right now, they are barely creating anything of value. 

[Minor Miner]

But they can't continue in that situation, against a weaker club maybe it won't be that much of a problem and they will still win the game because they are more effective. But if they were dealing with the same qualities they would really be at a disadvantage. Jose Mourinho must immediately fix this, otherwise the situation at the time against Udinese will repeat itself.

If Roma's goal is to win the title, Mourinho will definitely have to learn from his mistakes and correct them. Otherwise they won't be able to climb the points table. If there is no consistency in performance, it is not possible to win the title. Roma's performance this season has been quite stable and consistent. But their performance against Udinese disappointed everyone. Mourinho should try to strengthen their defense. Otherwise, they will lose more points against strong teams in the future.

It's in the past and there's no need to bring it up as they seem to have forgotten the loss as they managed to win against Empoli a few days ago.
Now they just need to focus on correcting mistakes and keeping their defense from always conceding points because even if they score this goal it will be very difficult if their defense also can't defend well.

The Roma team's main weakness is their attack. I don't think their defense is weak. Apart from conceding four goals against Udinese, they have conceded only 2 goals in the remaining 5 matches. Their defense is strong enough. But so far the bonding between the players has not been strong. This is why we are not consistently getting good performance from them. Moreover, Mourinho should try to quickly fix the weaknesses in the attack. If the attack is not strong, it is impossible to win against the big teams.

Team battles in the top 6 of the Serie A standings this season are indeed surprising. Serie A looks more exciting and could become like a very competitive Premier League.
it's still early, and the pursuit of points for each team is certainly still natural. those who can be more consistent in the game of course will be luckier.
Napoli also impressed last season, no wonder they can be at the top of the table. Inter's opportunities are still open, especially with the squad that is still not the best. Inter's biggest challenges are Napoli and Milan. they have to perform better.

Inter have tough opponents in the Champions League so it seems natural that their performance might decline, because even though Inter are currently sixth in the table, Inter have lost two. Meanwhile, Juventus, who are in eighth position, have yet to lose and as such, their points gap is still not that far which means their position can change. But if the top three teams can consistently get points then it will make their points gap continue to widen, but after all it is difficult for them to be able to maintain their good performance throughout the season.

I think instead of hoping for something quite difficult to do in the Champions League it would be better for them to make the most of Serie A at the moment.
Their condition in the Champions League is actually very unfavorable because in any case Bayern and Barcelona are much better.
They can still secure 3rd place in the group stage and start in the Europa League because in my opinion to compete in the top 2 is definitely a bigger risk than their players.,

Inter is still ok regarding Serie A. Admittedly they lost the two games against strong teams, which can of course be the critical difference at some point between rank 5 and rank 1, but for now they kept winning the more easy games.

Look at Juventus... They tied 4 out of the last 5 games! Given how bad of a start they had into last season, it is shocking they are now in the same situation. They would have even lost against Salernitana if they didn't score the 93rd minute goal.

Serie A has become incredibly more equal recently. There is a hand full of teams that is realistically playing for the title. Juventus Turin's dominance is definitely a thing of the past for now.

It is very difficult for Inter to qualify for the knockout phase. but sometimes clubs show different results between the domestic league and Champions League. Inter and Barcelona have the same points so far on group standing, so Inter still has 50% chance of qualifying if they are playing well in UCL. Serie A still has a long way to go, but it's still possible for Inter to win the title. If AS Roma wins, it's a surprise for me, because mourinho can bring the team to a title they haven't felt in a long time.

[zuzie]

It can be said that Juventus is very lucky to get into the Champions League but unfortunately Juventus does not yet have the strength to be able to compete with several other big clubs, so this is very detrimental to Juventus because they cannot perform optimally and give victory to the Juventus fans. They have to get up and try their best to get away from group H.

The situation will be even more difficult if there is no new step from Massimiliano Allegri to bring about a change in game strategy, because Juventus are in the same group as PSG and Benfica who are one of the best clubs in Ligue 1 and Primeira Liga.
Until now based on performance, Juventus is still below the average of Benfica and PSG, this will certainly make it difficult for Juventus to qualify for the next round.

The domestic league and the Champions League have different atmospheres, because the competition in the Champions League is fiercer than the Domestic League. Inter and Barcelona are both victims of Bayern Munich ferocity, these two teams will fight each other to get the three points. Inter are still struggling to qualify for the knockout phase because Barcelona is still there, but Inter chances are still wide open if they are able to get additional points in the next match.

Roma chances of winning the Scudetto this season are very small, even though they already have a squad capable of competing with Inter, Milan and Juventus. But Roma inconsistent performances have made it difficult for Mourinho to bring Roma to lift the title that the Olimpico public has long coveted.

The most interesting game of this week can be Milan - Napoli.

There is a really interesting statistics about this matchup. I checked the head-to-head games and saw that Milan can't defeat Napoli in San Siro in a league game since December 2014. Napoli will have a huge psychological predominance against them as a result. It is up to Milan to put an end to this bad luck. They have a Champions League game to start in ten minutes and getting a win here would motivate them even more for the Napoli game. Milan and Napoli are both doing great in the Serie A now. Maybe it is a risk to take but I'm thinking of betting on Milan win @2.24.

I don't know from where you saw the statistics of the match between these two teams. But the statistics were wrong. In the last 5 matches between these two teams, Milan won 2 matches, Napoli won 2 matches, and drew 1 match. And AC Milan won the last match against Napoli. The match between these two teams has been very competitive. And I hope the next match will also be competitive. Because both teams are in good form now. Napoli is playing very well, they are now at the top of the points table. AC Milan is third in the table with equal points.

Roma have little chance of winning the Italian league if they are still playing unstable.

Milan or Inter are still my favorites to be champion this season!!
