Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[OcTradism]

Juventus are still 7 points behind Napoli and Atalanta at the top of the points table. Closing this 7-point gap will not be easy. Moreover, the gameplay of other teams is very stable than Juventus. So I think Juventus is not aiming to win the title this season. They will only want to keep their squad stable.

7 points are not too big difference but 1 win can not change all things for Juventus. Their standing is not improved considerably after only 1 win and if they want to close the gap, they must wait for several match days. They must achieve good results and other competitors should have bad results enough to eradicate all current differences.

Next week is very important for Juventus. They will play two matches against Maccabi Haifa in the Champions League and one match against AC Milan in the Serie A. And they need to win every match. Juventus are at the bottom of the Champions League table. If they fail to win against Maccabi Haifa, they will not qualify for the next round.

You should say next few weeks are important for them. They must continue their win streak to recharge their confidence. In Champions League, Maccabi Haifa is not a strong team and Juventus can have a win to improve their position there. Going through qualification stage is important because it will bring more income to Juventus. They are in bad finance balance that is unhealthy and a ticket to go next is vital for them.

2-1 for Roma Abraham just scored and now Inter is losing.

Again Inter is doing the game but Roma is good with counterattacks.

Glad to see that as my prediction if roma would be winning in this match. Inter didn't consistent when it was playing on seria. The result from this match will give a huge pressure for inter caused by inter will be facing another big club like barcelona in the champion league. Im sure that inter will have bad performance like that in the champion league. Im sure that intermilan will be facing another lose again.
Taking lukaku from chelsea didn't change the performance from the team. Inter was still facing another lose.

Roma played very well, but I don't think it was better than Inter. And another disappointing moment was the canceled goal by Dzeko. If it wasn't for VAR, we don't know how this match would have ended. I have no doubts that Barcelona will beat Inter in the next Champions League match. Of all the statistics of face-to-face meetings between these clubs, Inter have won only twice - in 2010 and 1970.

No doubt. It can win against roma. I doubt inter can perform so well in the champion league as well. Remember, roma was giving another pressure to the intermilan's player after roma was able beating intermilan. That's giving more advantage to the barcelona over intermilan. Intermilan is in a difficult position. It must win or it will die. There's no chance for inter rather than winning the match against barcelona to continue its journey in the champion league.
Roma was performing so good under jose mourinho

Udinese are really unstoppable now.

Honestly I was waiting for Verona to put an end to their winning streak today. They were so close to doing this after getting 1-0 ahead also. But Udinese scored the equalizer in the 70th minute first. It was still like they were going to lose two points however they somehow scored the winning goal in the stoppage time. It was a really high effort by them throughout the game though. They totally deserved this win but Verona were just annoyingly lucky against them. Now they are on a winning streak of six games and still only one point behind Napoli - Atalanta duo.

I think, Udinese are in a good position to win this Italian league title because they have defeated many strong teams in this competition that changed people minds to always predict for their favour, because their players are very good in all position. Many people thought the match will end up draw, but at 60 minutes Udinese coach made some changes that make the game to changed at 70 minutes that allow their strikers to achieved the winning goal from Verona. If Udinese coach can maintain this strategies they used to defeated Verona in their next match, no doubt they will definitely achieve victory again.

Juventus getting back on their feet with a trembling win they got in the weekend game. The old lady's are putting themselves together and they needs to start been consistent in games inother to pursue the scudetto this season. Smashing bologna 3 nil and facing Maccabi Haifa   in the champions league. Their next game in the Seria A is AC Milan and we all know that the game is definitely a tough one to predict because the ressoneri are not holding back in their games.

It's an easy win actually and it's not strange because if they lose and lose points again it will be very regrettable.
Their 2 new signings Milik and Kostic managed to score goals in this match.
After 3 matches which they did not run well they are now restarting with good results for now. This could be a good start for them because mentally especially because Milan are ready to host them next week.

It's too early to say Udinese can be the candidate to win Serie A trophy but at least they can threaten other teams such as Napoli or Milan because if these two teams slipped Udinese can be taking over their position on standings league and this is not easy match for Udinese because Verona has playing well especially their defensive line but Jaka Bijol has became an hero because scoring goal at injury time and this result proven Udinese has good mentally because they didn't give up until the match ended

yeah right, juventus is getting better now. Although in possession of the ball it looks balanced between the two teams. but juventus managed to take advantage of the opportunities they got effectively and resulted in 3 goals. but the real test for Juventus is indeed in the next match, which is against Milan. If Juventus can stay consistent in a good game then Juventus could be the winner. but Given that Milan is a strong team then Juventus can be very difficult in this match. and defeat is possible.

Out of 8 matches played are Not really a promising one indeed but this time by beating inter the title contender ... i must say that as roma going to give serie a some entertainment in title race , so do with napoli with the most points earned so far , impressive as they are unbeatable as well , i bet that serie a this season going to be really competitive season.

At least in this match, Roma really gave a very great performance, actually, both Inter and Roma performed very well and the match was really tough.
Roma, this season is really progressing very well, but they need to be more consistent if they want to reach higher. Because there are many other clubs that are now very on fire to be at the top. Not easy to be the winner this season for all clubs. All are challenging.

The next matchday, there will be Milan vs Juventus and Atalanta vs Udinese which will be very interesting. I am really curious about Udinese power. They are not really superior, but they are able to utilize and optimize their chance to always play effectively and greatly. Here, we can see a quite interesting match.

After having home defeat against Roma they have done good job and win their away match at San Siro against Inter which is surely one of the best until now because this was most wanted win for them which is surely going to be good for them because now clearly they have good chance to stay at the top of league table with good chance for staying here until end of this season with Inter and Juventus both are struggling from the start of this season.

Now in next round we have few very interesting matches which are going to give us good shape of league table because now things are changing into good way like Atlanta is going to visit Udinese which already beat Roma and Inter at home and looking for another big win with Juventus having good win after break but now going to visit AC Milan which is also in good touch and this is surely going to be good match for better spot of these two teams.

This is not the first time that Juventus were good but could not be consistent. Since they lost their grip as the number one football club in Italy, they are usually greeted with inconsistencies. That kind of performance cannot win the league or lift any trophy. A sign that shows that a team is strong is when you are sure they will win 90% of small and average teams, but that is not so with Juventus. As for against Milan, I won't bet in favour of Juventus, it is a more risky bet.

Well, actually Juventus if they can be consistent then Juventus will still be a strong and seeded team. but unfortunately Juventus has been inconsistent this season. so we don't know and it's hard to guess what the results will be in the matches he will face. because if the last game juventus played well. then the next match is not necessarily going to be good. But Milan now they are more consistent than Juventus. so Juventus will have difficulty in the next match against Milan.

Now they are on a winning streak of six games and still only one point behind Napoli - Atalanta duo.

I am surprised by the way of play because after first lost against AC Milan they are doing amazing job having 6 wins and 1 draw specially wins against teams like Roma and Inter is amazing job from them and now Verona is in relegation how can they stop them even having lead in match, but two late goals were enough for them to have full three points, and now they are going to face the biggest threat in next week which is Atlanta if they are able to handle this then surely we can expect something special from them in this season with most chances European spot is must at the cost of any big name at the top.

Because, currently few teams are unpredictable, and they are not having good time with poor strategy is also giving them poor results which can hurt their cause at the end of this season even sometime Italian League is unpredictable with unusual results can happen like we have in last season with Napoli and Atlanta both slip badly.

[hahay]

It will be an interesting match I think for Udinese because clearly they are aiming for full points, but Verona will benefit a little because they will be playing at home. Meanwhile their head to head at least a draw dominates, but considering the performance of Udinese who are in the race for the top four then Udinese clearly have a better chance of winning. In contrast to Verona who are still struggling to get out of the relegation zone and trying to stay away from it, it looks like it will still be difficult and still need time to improve their performance.

Verona vs Udinese. This is a match that Udinese will most likely win in my opinion. Udinese who showed a really great performance in their last 6 matches, I mean Udinese so far are unbeaten especially in their last 6 matches in Serie A. But I didn't expect it to be an interesting match even if Verona played at home today.

Udinese may be eyeing victory in this match because if successful then Udinese will be ranked 3rd in the standings. I don't doubt Udinese's good performance later, but Verona will also try their best to fight for the 3 points in this match. Considering Verona's defense is not good, then I think they will concede a lot of goals in this match against Udinese.

I think that we should not underestimate Verona in this match, they are down bad for points, and on their home stadium they will definitely try so hard to win, even though can be enough, so I'm expecting goals in this match, both teams to score are at 1.7.

as i expected, they both scored goals, and Verona couldn't hold for long when they were winning, Udinese are really on fire, 6 wins in a row with this one, and they didn't just beat weak teams, they beat Fiorentina, Sassuolo, As Roma and Inter Milan, i wonder who's it going to be the team to beat them.

In fact, the draw almost happened again because even Udinese's second goal was also created in the last minute of the match or to be precise in the 90+3 minute, at least my consideration for anticipating this was still true. Even Verona won at half time but overall statistics are clear that Udinese won, but their head to head still proves that Verona is still not easily defeated by Udinese. Even though at this moment Udinese are in their best form, I can't completely underestimate Verona either.

But Milan now they are more consistent than Juventus. so Juventus will have difficulty in the next match against Milan.

Milan will be the favorite. although neither of them is better at the moment, I mean Milan and Juve are both still having problems with their squad. but Milan will play at home. it would be a better support than Juve.

Juve, Roma, and Milan are currently trying to keep playing consistently to get points. the difference between the top 3 standings is not too much for Milan and Roma. and I think for a few more games, there will be some teams that will create gaps in the table. at least the top 6 Serie A standings will have a sizeable difference in points.

This Italian League season, Udinese has been the most outstanding team I have ever seen. I have a hunch that this Serie A season may bring perhaps the biggest shock. They will likely surpass Atalanta and Napoli in the league standings sooner rather than later if they keep up this pace of scoring a decent amount of goals and producing quality passes to control the game as they see fit.

Udinese has been playing just similar to Atalanta seasons ago when they suddenly rose in Serie A. More impressive, Atalanta manage to continue it about 4 seasons later. So far in this season, Udinese are good but they are far away from what Atalanta have achieved recent years.

I don't think there will be big shocks in Serie A this season because Udinese are lack of many things to have stable performance in a long season. What surprise we can see is top four, not Scudetto. This season, two Milan clubs will be challenged by more clubs from Napoli, Atalanta to AS Roma and Lazio. I don't consider it is a shock if any team among Napoli, Atalanta or AS Roma win Scudetto in this season.

Udinese's performances have been outstanding this season, they look better prepared than the early favourites, such as Juventus, AC Milan, Inter Milan and AS Roma. Their attack line is productive by creating 17 goals so far, their defense can be said to be solid. They are the only team to get full points in their last 5 matches, it really becomes a capital to increase their morale and become a good capital to get through the game that is in front of them. Although the points are still very tight and have the potential to change in just one game but with their current form they will be more confident going forward.

Honestly, today's Serie A is a very interesting season to watch the competition in Serie A, their game is unpredictable, even the current seeded club can't play better than the club that is now in the top 4 standings. I agree I wouldn't be surprised to see Atalanta, Napoli or even Udinese coming out as champions this season. But there is a little concern for me that they can't maintain their good form today. Because we still see it very often in Serie A. For example, last season was a very unfortunate season for Napoli because they couldn't keep their hopes up to stay competitive and had to lose consistency at the end of the season.

Udinese has been playing just similar to Atalanta seasons ago when they suddenly rose in Serie A. More impressive, Atalanta manage to continue it about 4 seasons later. So far in this season, Udinese are good but they are far away from what Atalanta have achieved recent years.

In Serie A, from time to time, some middle-class clubs can start a good season, not so long ago in Serie A there was a Chievo club, they could also have a promising start, but then there was always a decline. I don’t see how Udinese will be able to last the whole season, although the example of Leicester (when they won the Premier League) shows us that nothing is impossible. So far, Udinese is Serie A dark horse this season.

It's a habit that happens when an unusual team is in the best place and they occupy it now. Maybe they are not mentally strong enough to face all the pressure that comes when they are in the top 4 positions. It won't be easy for the team to stay for a long time if they aren't prepared for all the pressure. In the end they will still be displaced by the big teams at the end of the season. But I want to see how far they will maintain their current form.

Udinese have recorded a good record this season, they can always win in six matches in a row. The next match will be a tough test for Udinese, they will be met with Atalanta who is one rank above.
Udinese must take advantage of away games to surpass Atalanta, three points must be earned by Udinese to extend their winning streak and keep the distance from Napoli at the top of the table. To reach the top of the standings Udinese can still achieve because they are only one point adrift of Napoli.

Udinese's performance has been very good this season, they only lost once and drew once in 8 matches that have been running. It's too soon I think to think about their fate in Serie A, although not a few people compare them to Leicester in the EPL first. In the next match they will face Atalanta who are currently ranked 2nd in the Serie A standings. This match could be a deciding factor for them whether they are still consistent with their good performances, or even be the beginning of their downfall this season.

Note: Besides Udinese, we also have another underdog in the Bundesliga, they are Union Berlin.

Yes, it's true the mid-table teams initially put on an outstanding performance at the beginning, but the consistency has become the real problem that is often encountered. This is normal in football. Although I also don't deny that maybe what Leicester success in EPL few season back have achieved is experienced by Udinese and becomes champions, then this will be an extraordinary season for Serie A.
