Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Pandu Geddon]

I think Napoli have advantage with playing home and have great result last match on UEFA Champion League success defeated Ranger.

looks like you are wrong. The match will be played at the San Siro. Napoli must try hard to beat Milan at home.
although currently, Napoli is superior in goal productivity. it won't be easy to beat Milan. Milan also has a positive result at the moment. even managed to beat Inter.
while Napoli has not met a strong team. even Napoli was also held to a goalless draw by Fiorentina.

but, despite playing at home. Milan should not underestimate Napoli. we know many surprises can happen when the team has more motivation to overthrow the defending champion.

[hahay]

In today's Serie A game, Salernitana vs Lecce, I bet the hosts will win. Salernitana's players have shown more than once that they can be particularly dangerous, especially at their own stadium. Lecce is one of the weakest teams in the league, they have not yet won this season and I believe that they will also come off the field defeated today.

Lecce itself has just returned to Serie A this season so when its performance is still relatively weak, but even so Lecce is still better than the three teams below it. In the past Lecce was a pretty good team and at least they could compete in the middle of the table, but at this moment Lecce still don't have the ability as in the past. In contrast to Salernitana, at least they continue to improve, even though last season Salernitana was almost relegated. So with Salernitana having at least started the season well then surely Salernitana has a better chance in this match against Lecce, a draw can still happen here but I'm also pretty sure Salernitana will take advantage of this match to win.

It seems they give Allegri a deadline according to journalists here.

The date should be 13 November, aka the end of 1st part of the season before the world Cup.



It will be late, if they do not trust him they should sack him today.

Sunday 18th September
Roma 17:00 Atalanta
AC Milan 19:45 Napoli

Continuation of the league This Sunday I just want to see Roma against Atalanta and AC Milan against Napoli because this is the Big Match for me this week.

Yes, everyone is waiting for these matches because all the teams are in the top 5 in Serie A standings. Those teams who win the matches, will have a chance to lead Serie A standings. But I assume there is a high opportunity of a draw result in these matches. It is because all the teams are in a good performance, and they have strong defense lines as well. I am pretty sure those teams will play more carefully, they won't do a very offensive tactic. This may lead to a lack of goals, and the result of the match is very realistic to be a draw.

If there is one team that wins in 2 matches that will run in these 2 big matches then most likely the table will change and this is what I expect.
They can now be said to be a team that has good conditions for Serie A so it will be very good to see if it is AC Milan or Napoli who will now secure the top spot.
On the other hand, Atalanta are also on the same points as Milan and Napoli. although the performance last week was not very good but this team is difficult now to play against.

I'm still wondering what's on the minds of the Juventus management who still maintains Allegri. Is it another financial crisis that can't bring in a new coach?
we can see Juventus from the beginning of the season the game is monotonous, boring, no tactics are always on display in every match.

Most likely.
Outside the Premier League, nobody can spend in normal circumstances.

(Barca and Psg can spend but they are the only 2 clubs who can for different reasons)

[Bhig Daddy]

The Italian is very strong and unpredictable league, I bet a lot but I don’t like betting on the Italians, the only few you can bet on and have 90% is juventus and as at from last season AC Milan have also step up their game, with that leading them to lift the Italian league for the first time since a long time. I this this new season Milan will also maintain their foam, they didn’t add much players but I think they are still favorite this season.

Yes, since his arrival in the 2021-22 season, Juventus has not seen impressive achievements in various competitions like the previous few seasons. Even after getting the opportunity to bring in several new stars this season, until the 6th week of Serie A there has been no improvement in terms of Juventus' performance.
I think Massimiliano Allegri's success in the past made Juventus one of the strongest teams in Serie A, became one of the management considerations for Massimiliano Allegri .'s coaching career

Juventus' performance has deteriorated further compared to the previous season. Despite adding several star players to the squad, Juventus is not getting the expected success. They are not defeated. However, they are not able to score full points even against weaker teams. If the attacking players of the Juventus team play well, their performance will probably improve. Let's see if they can strengthen themselves in the upcoming matches.

Not so strong, it is equilibrated but the teams are weak compared to the top teams in Europe.

No one here can beat teams from premier or PSG or Real OR Bayern.

Now this is the question why Juventus' performance is declining even though they have bought some great players does it still need an adaptation process?
Juventus is currently in 8th place with 2 wins and 4 draw 0 lost somehow they play draw more often

[BitcoinAccepted]

I do agree with the opinion that the Italian league is very changeable and that you can't expect things from certain teams. Everyone seems to be able to beat each other more and more easily. Juventus were really unbeatable a few years ago. They are now letting a lot of points win. Next week I think we will have a break because there will be 2 Nations League matches. Maybe Juventus can put that break to good use and analyze the results. It will really have to be different. Could it be the coach? The players are good enough.

[tygeade]

And another problem might be because they are trying to play really defensive football. They have to be a little more attacking in their approach if they want to have more success in my opinion.

This Juventus team is mentally unprepared to play at this stage. Whoever watched the Champions League match a few nights ago, will understand what I am talking about. The first 20-25 minutes, it was all about Juve. They kept the ball, attacked, controlled the flow of the game. And then bam! For no logical reason, they completely stopped playing football. They get pushed into their defensive half, they can't complete two passes, and lose any sense of what they are doing. No self-confidence, zero character, and a losing mentality not worthy of this historically tough team.   

That is mainly because they didn't expected it to be this difficult. They thought that they could play their usual style and they would win, but the moment they started to play, they realized that it wasn't so simple here and that caused them to go back on defense.

Champions league and Serie A are very different, you can't just hope that the other team would be easier to beat, you can2t even expect that from teams that are coming from worse leagues, remember that sherrif upset on Real Madrid, the team that won the title? I mean these type of things could happen if you expect to play like a regular season domestic league game for sure.

The club is standing from 1st until 6rd have a chance to build the rank, Roma hopes on Napoli match the result is drawn and vice versa. Roma has sure to win because they capital wins on the last 2 matches. So I think the match is interesting to watch who can sit on 1st stand but don't forget we have Inter vs Udinese where to have a chance also to beat Napoli's position.

Indeed, the gap of points among the clubs is very small and there are still many chances for all the clubs in the top 6 to have chances to be in the top standing. But this may e like the previous season, where the champion of the first standing is still unpredictable until the end of the season.
Once one of the clubs experiences any loss, this will make the position be threatened and may be taken over by others. So, each club should utilize their every chance to make a victory or they will drop the ranks.

Roma and napoli seem onfire right now.

Indeed, moreover Napoli, really tried their best. Unfortunately Roma had a bad experience and performance is several previous matches.
For Inter, this club is still very instable this season, sometimes they are beaten by small clubs.
The most surprising is Udinese where they arre in the 4 standing potision until now.

There is no doubt in last few years Italian soccer quality is on decline and their biggest clubs are also having not enough quality to compete with the biggest clubs in Europe like PSG, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and mostly top clubs from English Premier League which is surely the biggest setback as I am also fan of this league for three decades but now suddenly this decline is going to be the worst for them as they are completely fail to bring things in positive way.

Specially teams like Juventus, inter, Milan and Roma completely down and out from European competitions with recently we have some good changes in Napoli, but they also sold their good players but having good results in few matches in start, but mostly they chock near the end which is also big issue for them, but they fail to settled things for positive end.

The Champions League has a tough game and those teams that participate in it must be ready with a good formation and strategy to fight some big clubs because otherwise it will make the team lose, so the coach must remain firm in reminding the team being trained that in the League Champions are all very serious and no one is joking.

Selernitana wasn't able to get at least one point against lecce after bringing a precious point from Torino stadium, i really thought they could win after scoring the equalizer in the first minutes of the second half but they conceded the second Goal in the last minutes of the match

Salernitana and Lecce hadn't huge difference between them so expect everything from their result. Lecce was able to win with 2 goals to 1 with the 2nd goal scored at the end of the game.
Tomorrow's games don't include top teams and you can expect anything there. Bologna is favourite but can lose vs Empoli ot get a draw..
Spezia - Sampdoria, I see it as a toss coin match! Otherwise Torino is favourite but Sassuolo should not be underestimated. I avoid these kind of games..

Although not really great enough, in fact, Lecce played better and more effectively than Salernitana, moreover, they played more offensively. The goal by Strefezza in the last minute really became their best moment because they could win and get a full point of 3.

There is no doubt in last few years Italian soccer quality is on decline and their biggest clubs are also having not enough quality to compete with the biggest clubs in Europe like PSG, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich and mostly top clubs from English Premier League which is surely the biggest setback as I am also fan of this league for three decades but now suddenly this decline is going to be the worst for them as they are completely fail to bring things in positive way.

I really want to deny this, but this is true enough and reality. In fact, their giant clubs like Milan, Inter, Roma, and Juventus which always make some dominance in previous seasons seem like having decreased performance. Moreover Inter in this season, this really decreases.
We can also see that some clubs are experiencing difficult matches in UCL.

[Velvet78]

Udinese - Inter can be considered as a tough game for both sides as well.

Udinese are one of the striking teams of this season taking their effort so far into account. Their performance against Roma was incredible as they destroyed Roma by 4-0. This might be a little scary for Inter as well but I don't expect such absurd score this time. Inter don't have a consistent form these days. It was like they have had a pattern like winning and losing consecutively for four weeks in the league. I didn't like their effort against Torino also despite winning. They were solid against Plzen and maybe this would help them a little here. Rather than betting on Inter, both teams to score might be more reliable @1.63.
