Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

I feel that Juventus now needs to understand that it’s not working with Allegri, and maybe he’ll cite that last year Ronaldo left and this year Pogba is injured but I feel that these excuses won’t help him survive if results don’t improve. Furthermore while Napoli is playing well, I yet feel that it’s a three way race between Napoli, Milan and Inter Milan and outside contenders to win the league are Roma and Juventus.

With Juventus' current condition it will be very difficult to say they are fine and Allegri is still doing very well there.
Allegri at the moment is quite a failure to build Juventus and the fact is that, regardless of how he was last season this was a differentiating factor because in fact for me he was finished at Juventus if the management was firm but because there are still some considerations he is still being retained. this actually makes Juventus worse. This condition is probably almost the same as Barcelona during the Koeman Era last season.

Usually such statements are made in cases when the team is at war with the coach and, with poor results, is trying to get him fired. And I'm not saying that this is exactly the whole team, as we know there are always several groups within any team. It's a signal to them that Allegri is staying. Theoretically, such statements can put an end to disagreements in the team, but in practice, everything can happen the other way around.

Exactly what I was thinking. When the CEO says that they are happy with the manager that usually means they are not happy, because why would you have to go out and say you are happy when you already are, you don't have to say anything at all. This means that something must be wrong within the team and of course not so great results could be the reason.

However, I do not see any fault with the manager here, most of the players are injured and that is why they are not getting the ideal results, if the manager gets his players back from the injury and still ends up losing points then you could consider firing him, not before, because a new manager with these injury list would still lose points too.

The funny thing is that I remember (in the championship of my country) how, literally a couple of weeks after such statements, the coach was fired. I don't know if this will happen to Allegri (besides, now there is a break for national teams which gives everyone some pause to calm down), but anything can happen. In any case, Juventus are already very close to failing the season, and even despite the fact that competitors also show uncertain results, they are falling further and further behind the group of leaders.

It's not very interesting because Udinese from season to season only struggles in the middle of the table, so it's natural that not many people consider him to be a competitor in the title race. But this season they started the season very well winning at home with a big score beating Roma 4-0 and Inter 3-1 it was an achievement, the next match Udinese will play against Verona which of course will also be full points for Udinese. After that, the competition for the top flight will happen again because Udinese will play at home against Atalanta, it is a match to fight for the second place in the standings, but if Napoli are not optimal then it will be a match to fight for the first place.

Udinese's competition at the top in my opinion will not last long, I believe Udinese's performance will decline as the league progresses even though until last week they were still able to maintain consistency. I'm not underestimating them, but a team like Udinese won't hold much promise for the title race. But their best record so far is beating Roma and also Inter, it will make their motivation even better for the next match.

For the next match, Udinese will still struggle to win some tough matches during this October. Atalanta and Lazio will definitely be strong opponents to test Udinese's consistency, so the fans will definitely be looking forward to it.

Udinese remains a dangerous and strong team. Inter Milan came in 0-1 but Udinese turned it around completely and at the end it was 3-1 on the scoreboard. There were a few favorites to win the league, but Inter and Juventus in particular have failed miserably. Now I'm sticking to Napoli or maybe Atalanta. For Napoli it would be a nice tribute to Maradona to become champion again. Atalanta has never been champion of Italy as far as I can remember, if they were to become champion it would of course be a huge stunt. Compact team with fun football. I have little faith in Juventus at the moment.

This season Juventus have included several players in the squad, but their performances have been weaker than before. Allegri is not doing well with the team. There is no bonding between team players. Allegri should try to stabilize the team by changing his match tactics. But he failed. Perhaps the Juventus management is now looking for a new coach.

[coinlocket$]

The last call for the sacking (improbable IMHO) during this break is on the 23rd of September.

Juventus on that they will have a shareholders meeting and almost everything can happen even if it is very unlikely sack at this point of the season.

[SatoPrincess]

At least in the last few games Napoli have learned from their mistakes and can provide an answer for their fans that they can bounce back and become number one at the top of the standings, now it seems that the toughest opponents who are ready to make Napoli collapse are the Atalanta and Udinese teams. Napoli must be careful with the team so as not to make the Napoli position eliminated.

Atalanta I'm still pretty sure they will be one of Napoli's toughest hurdles like the 20/21 season even though in the end Napoli again took over their place for UCL qualification
But Udinese, I'm still not sure they will really be ready for the Serie A title let alone UCL qualification. Because there will be Lazio at the top of the standings, and we can see that in the last three seasons Lazio have never been eliminated from the Serie A standings despite often ending the season in the qualifying position of the Europa League. But their quality is always a concern because it always interferes with clubs who want to rise to the top of the standings such as Roma, Udinese, and others.

Udinese put up quite a show this season, they have been in form this season but I really doubt their ability to maintain this level of quality until January. Though other big teams are looking shaky and unstable at the moment but there is a huge possibility they will strengthen their squads and come back into the game and back to top form and the question that should be on our minds is for how long can Udinese maintain this form before they start losing games and going down the table.

Juventus have bad performance in this season between domestic league and UEFA Champion League, several time loss got by Juventus against with mediocre and small team. I can't imagine when Juventus have faced with big match against AC Milan, Inter and Napoli how ability to win. But most surprise with Juventus management still believing and not give any warning for Allegri position as Juventus manager.

So, it looks like something is wrong. Maybe they still keep Allegri for some reason or the club's achievements last season. However, they should have thought about what they were going through right now. A club as big as Juventus is not doing well and is left without any improvement. Even though they may have tried, what we see is the result, and it turns out that the result is still bad like that. It should be for a club as big as Juventus to be able to analyze which part is wrong and must immediately fix it. It's not the start of the season anymore but it's about to enter the 7th game. They shouldn't let them play badly every time, there's no need to waste points, while other clubs are trying to always get full points in every game.

Could this be Napoli's time to shine for the Serie A title finally?

It will be great if it happens, that'll be three different winners in the last three seasons, that surely will make the Italian seria a the most competitive league in Europe in ths last three years, some years ago when Juve were winning it practically every season, who would believe that soon to come, they will no longer be in the picture for the title, and that every season there will be a new favorite. I feel Napoli can do it, but we have a very long way to go. In all Europe's top leagues this season, i think the seria a is the one that is most difficult to predict a winner, it is very open, and there are ~ 4-5 contenders.

[X-ray]

Could this be Napoli's time to shine for the Serie A title finally?

The season is still very long. Anything can happen with so many team during the rest of season. it's too fast to think that if napoli will shine in seria A. i see that juventus and duo inter have been showing horrible performance. That's why the team like as roma, napoli and udinese can go up and placed at the top of serie a for now. I would not be surprised if those big team who are still underperformance can come back later. Anything can happen but it's good to see that napoli able to compete with so many big club in serie a.
It's too fast to take a conclusion if napoli will be winning serie a

There are still 31 games left to play, and also the points difference between Napoli and some of the teams below them is not that far away.
This means that there is still a possibility that Napoli will be displaced from the top position if Napoli cannot play consistently until the end of the season.
So as you said there are still a lot of possibilities that can happen, it's also quite possible that teams like Juventus and Inter will recover soon.
Competition in Serie A this season is indeed much more interesting in my opinion, too many surprises happened and it became difficult to predict
what would happen next. What is certain is that if we look at the performance of all Serie A teams, I see currently Napoli and AC Milan who have
a greater chance of winning the Serie A trophy. Although Atalanta and Udinese have been surprisingly impressive in their form this season,
but with the quality of the players in both teams which are dominated by mediocre players, I doubt that Atalanta and Udinese can be consistent
until the end of the season.

I have little faith in Juventus at the moment.

Looking at the performance of Udinese this season, I think they will go far beyond the expectation of everyone because they are playing with so much confidence and energy, and their ability to fight back against any team they play against is one quality I find so interesting about them this season. If they could fight back against Inter Milan then they are improved and should be feard.
Napoli is the only team that could fight and remain on top of the table based on my experience because Atalanta is not always stable with their performance since Inter Milan and Juventus is not in good form at the moment Napoli can make Maradona smile by winning the league this season.

Udinese are a really surprising team in this season. After seven weeks we are seeing them only one point behind the leader. Of course it is still very difficult for teams like them to have a consistent form during the season. I wonder when they will start to struggle. But it is good to see some different teams at top places as well. Even if they don't become the champions they can still have a solid season. Especially while some favourites are having tough days Udinese have a nice chance to stay ahead of them for longer.

From the movement of the score in the standings and the games presented by Udinese they have a very good display and always dominate the ball, They always try to find small gaps to take advantage of the opportunities that exist by always trying to shoot at the opponent's goal, They also succeed getting those five wins in a row is a very good feat.

The team has been the recent wonder of the Italian top league. The beauty of the team is that they are scoring more goals and defending perfectly well. In their last four matches, they have scored eleven goals and conceded just three. They have won games against the big names in the league including Roma, Inter Milan, and AC Milan.

Their recent performance against Inter was outstanding, they came from behind to win the match. Coach Andrea Sottil is really doing a good job and the management of the team should keep giving him the right support. Except for unexpected occurrences such as injuries and other negative issues, I think Udinesemight play in the champions league next season if continues with this performance.

[hichamito37]

Udinese managed to bring in a new striker last July he is Beto Betuncal who has scored 4 goals and 3rd place on the top scorer list
there's also Gerard Deulofeu and Roberto Pereyra as the player with the most assist , the contribution of these two players can improve Udinese's performance able to survive in the top 3 , but I doubt they will be there until the end of the season.

at the moment the real revelation of this season: Udinese
I hadn't considered them at all, I didn't even follow their transfer campaign, but judging by how they play, they did everything very well
another competitor aiming for the cups, in my opinion

It's not very interesting because Udinese from season to season only struggles in the middle of the table, so it's natural that not many people consider him to be a competitor in the title race. But this season they started the season very well winning at home with a big score beating Roma 4-0 and Inter 3-1 it was an achievement, the next match Udinese will play against Verona which of course will also be full points for Udinese. After that, the competition for the top flight will happen again because Udinese will play at home against Atalanta, it is a match to fight for the second place in the standings, but if Napoli are not optimal then it will be a match to fight for the first place.

I have to say that Udinese have started the season quite well this time. I also didn't follow their transfer campaign. But I have to say that they have really impressed me so far this season. Rather, what I am concerned about is whether they can keep up the form they're showing right now. I think that there is a big chance that their form will fall a lot after a number of games are played. However, I really want the underdogs to do well this season as I like underdogs playing well.

[kro55]

surprisingly, it was Atalanta and Udinese. last year they didn't show that good performance. they didn't perform consistently until the end of the season. last season was still dominated by Milan and Inter.
but this season Atalanta and Udinese seem to be playing good games. I hope they can perform more consistently until the end of the season. because their mistake last season was inconsistent.
Serie A this season is more interesting. Lots of surprises from unexpected matches. Juventus seems to have difficulties in their squad. but points in the standings have only a small difference between the teams. there's still a lot of drama that could happen.

About Atalanta since Gasperini arrived to this team on 2016 he has successfully changed Atalanta became one of the stable team in Serie A even without famous names although last season Atalanta has been slipped because finish at 8th position but before that Gasperini can bring this team finish at 3rd position on 3 seasons in a row so Atalanta isn't weak team anymore in Serie A so i am not surprising if this season they can compete in the top 4 but indeed the league is still far to ended and we will see their consistency whether they can managed their performance or not

Yes, Atalanta so far have performed so mighty.  Atalanta will of course be back to being the dark horse this season.  The right policy in the transfer market is the key for them to be able to make a good start in Serie A. Atalanta retain coach Gian Pierro Gasperini, although last season's results were not good enough.  But Gasperini got support in the transfer market, a number of key players were brought in.  Atalanta bought Ademola Lookman from RB Leipzig.  Then there's Ederson, Rasmus Hojlund, and Brandon Soppy.  Atalanta also made Jeremie Boga and Merih Demiral permanent.  The new players collaborated beautifully with old faces such as Teun Koopmeiners, Marten de Roon, and Ruslan Malinovsyi.  As a result, Atalanta appear solid and have never lost to date.

There is no doubt that Atalanta is playing really well at the moment. As of now, they do not even have a single loss to their name. That is certainly something to be proud of.

You know, their performance was below par last season. They finished 8th last season, which is certainly not a favorable sign. In this season, however, they have been able to get off to a really positive start. It is my belief that they will be able to continue the good work they have been doing. Consistency is the most important factor to keep in mind.

It is a real credit to Gasperini that Atalanta is doing so well under his leadership. However, there is still a lot of work to be done. I agree with you that Atalanta is looking like they are a really solid team right now. However, if they are not able to be consistent then they are not going to be able to achieve a successful result at the end of the season.

Especially while some favourites are having tough days Udinese have a nice chance to stay ahead of them for longer.

One of Udinese's best current records is being able to beat Roma and Inter and being able to maintain a winning streak in their last 5 matches. Udinese did surprise at the start of the season, but don't expect much from them because in my opinion their consistency may very volatile.

Udinese's goal productivity is very good at the moment where they have scored 15 goals in the last 7 matches, they are also very good defensively where they have only conceded 3 goals in their last 6 matches. Only Milan managed to beat Udinese in the first match of the season with a score of 4-2, the rest Udinese have never lost.

[hd49728]

I have to say that Udinese have started the season quite well this time. I also didn't follow their transfer campaign. But I have to say that they have really impressed me so far this season.

Not all clubs that make surprise in early of season can keep it up until the end. However, we can not exclude that Udinese will not be able to end this season at a high position. Don't forget seasons ago, we were doubtful about Atalanta too but they managed to beat many clubs and take a position on top 4 for 3 seasons.

Napoli is the only team that could fight and remain on top of the table based on my experience because Atalanta is not always stable with their performance since Inter Milan and Juventus is not in good form at the moment Napoli can make Maradona smile by winning the league this season.

You are correct about difference between Napoli and Udinese. At least Napoli has many seasons at top of Serie A and has many seasons in Champions League too. Udinese can not compare with Napoli about that and if Udinese can achieve something great in this season, they will have more troubles in a next season.

Furthermore we can not under estimate Juventus and Inter Milan and I believe they will end this season at higher position than Udinese.

I'm really surprised to see their great performance this season. Not only beat Fiorentina and AS Roma, they even beat Inter Milan in the last match in Serie A.

In the next match they will meet Verona at the Marcantonio Bentegodi Stadium, of course this will not be a difficult match for Udinese, the article is currently Verona's performance is very inconsistent, but even so, Udinese must still be wary of them.
