Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Zlantann]

AC Milan's performance is very inconsistent both in Serie A and in the Champions League. After AC Milan's disappointing performance
against  Napoli in Serie A, looks like another bad result continued when AC Milan was beaten by Chelsea in the Champions League.
Looks like AC Milan's performance has decreased compared to the previous season. Moreover, the schedule for the next two matches
will be very tough for AC Milan. Next AC Milan will face Juventus, then AC Milan will return to face Chelsea in the Champions League.
These two matches are very crucial for AC Milan, I hope Pioli can motivate AC Milan players to play better and win those two games.
If AC Milan fails to win in these two matches, I doubt AC Milan can win a trophy this season.

I think we might soon have a new king in the Italian Serie A. AC Milan and Juventus are gradually losing their dominance in the league. Although Juventus got a convincing 3-1 win over Maccabi Haifa they are not up to the class of Napoli this season. Napoli has a well-organized and complete team and what makes them very potent is that they have a very good bench. The injury of their main striker Victor Osinhen has not stooped the from scoring more goals.

There are possibilities that A.C Milan can still win trophies this season if they put the team in order. They still have the chance to qualify for the knockout stage in the Champions League because they have the same four points as Chelsea, just one point below the group leader RB Salzburg. They are not also doing very badly in the Seria A because they have seventeen points in eight matches while Napoli has Twenty points.  The January transfer window would be a great opportunity for both Juventus and AC Milan to rejig their teams.

Juventus have been performing very poorly under Allegri and I am confident that Allegri isn't the right man for the job. Over some months now Juventus have always found it so difficult to get a win in the league which is so unsuall and not a trade mark for the old ladies. With the rate at which the team is performing and losing games I see Allegri getting sacked anytime soon.

It's absolutely true, the old lady are really behind schedule and they are just returning to winning ways after signing players got injured like Paul Pogba and Angel Di Maria. The team playing their best without some keyplayers like Chiesa, I give them credits because it's not easy to keep consistency in games knowing fully well that half of the squad are injured. For Allegri, he has the necessary projects to start winning games, but he's performing below his expectations which put his job on the line, I think the board is just been nice and patience with him, that's why he's still active as Manager.

Allegri's major issue right now, in my opinion, is that he has flat-out refused to change with the game. When Juventus was at the top of their game, you could be sure that they would at the very least reach the UCL final, but now they are a complete mess. Imagine a squad that was in the top 4 from 2014 to 2018 but is currently having trouble in Serie A. Personally, I believe that their signings were the beginning of the crisis.

Allegri's major issue right now, in my opinion, is that he has flat-out refused to change with the game.

I thought, he himself is the issue, unfortunately is the issue at Juventus can't be resolved immediately, namely replacing the person with someone who can bring changes to Juventus' appearance, the reason is the economy I read that it will be an expensive cost, so we will still see him there without making any changes

The main problem that is slowing down Allegri's dismissal is purely economic. Juventus president Agnelli had the coach sign a four-year contract expiring in 2025 for £6.1million-a-year plus £1.7m in bonuses.

Chelsea won that game home and it was important for them. Milan unfortunately didn't succeed and their chances to pass this stage in this group aren't affected since the difference between them and the first place (Salzburg) is only 1 point. They have to win the remaining games to pass or win 2 and wait for Chelsea to lose and get a draw.
Now in Serie A, Milan is favourite against Juve and they shouldn't lose, otherwise the gap will increase..

In Milan match against Juventus which will take place on October 8, Milan has a very high potential to get a win, so far Juventus has not looked good in every match, but this is the first phase in this match after a long break, maybe Juventus have a new strategy and had been prepared for the match against Milan.

If Milan coach can introduce more strategies before October 8, I think Milan will defeat Juventus 2-1 for the favour of Milan because no way Juventus strikers will not achieve a goal from the match. Since, Juventus are still lacking in the area of defense in this season, which will be one of the advantage Milan strikers will use to achieve goals from Juventus to embrace the victory. I think, Milan coach will not allow what happened that made Chelsea to defeated them 3-0 to happen again in their next match, than to use the players that know how to achieve early goals to start the match.

[Ludmilla_rose1995]

Really, I'm sorry Milan actually lost 3-0 to Chelsea in today's match. I don't know how ready they are in the Champions League, but it's definitely disappointing. Now Milan have 4 points in group E, the same number as Chelsea but I really hope they can qualify for the last 16 this season.

Either way, Milan must win the next few games against Chelsea and Salzburg and Dinamo Zegreb. If Milan lose again, then it will make them fail to continue their good run this season in the Champions League. A 1-3 win against Empoli apparently did not make Milan make points in the Champions League. Next up, Milan will play Juventus this week and it will be very tiring.

what is going on with Milan, their performances are very bad, not only in Serie A but also in UCL. when they faced Chelsea in the UCL yesterday, Milan's back and midfield were really messed up, they performed poorly, if they play like yesterday against Juventus, then there will be no hope for Milan to win against Juve. Milan must win the match against Juve at the San Siro.

It seems that the coach factor is no longer important because Mourinho himself in my view has not been very successful in making changes for Roma, although some new players and become key players still have not had a maximum impact on the team's performance. So with this situation I personally still consider that the home team will be able to win the match, or if we consider the situation of the two teams so far this season a draw could happen. But I personally still believe that Inter do have a better chance of winning.

Seem AS Roma still not really successful under Jose Mourinho era although last season with first trophy achievement UEFA Conference League, can't finish on top fourth standing position and loss UEFA Champion League ticket I think enough reason with Jose Mourinho is not special coach nowadays. Could be second chance for Jose Mourinho bring back AS Roma to top standing position although this season have got 2 loss and left not many points different with first standing position Napoli with 4 points.

Need to win on next match against with Inter Milan if want settle top position standing, however AS Roma have bad result against with top team after last match defeating by Atalanta, will Inter Milan become moment for AS Roma recovery and back to winning record or Jose Mourinho always weakness when AS Roma faced with bigger team.

Jose Mourinho has not succeeded completely, but he brought changes to AS Roma for the better. Everything does not happen instantly and the process is still needed by Jose Mourinho to bring AS Roma even better. But indeed everyone wants a fast process in this matter, I hope things like this don't disturb Jose Mourinho's concentration in dealing with AS Roma. Sometimes if the coach is not ready, the pressure will make them worse.

For me, what Mou has shown is winning class and elegance in football, he has managed to get ahead of a Roma that had many problems, I think that one of the best players that Mou has is Dybala himself and he is the player who best has responded (without detracting from the work of others) for me he is one of the best strategists in the world, and I think everyone recognizes him with that reputation, for me he is one of the best, and if not, you have to do a journey through history, and see the enormous rivalry he had against Peo Guaridola when they were at Real Madrid and Barcelona respectively.

Juventus have been performing very poorly under Allegri and I am confident that Allegri isn't the right man for the job. Over some months now Juventus have always found it so difficult to get a win in the league which is so unsuall and not a trade mark for the old ladies.

For Allegri, he has the necessary projects to start winning games, but he's performing below his expectations which put his job on the line, I think the board is just been nice and patience with him, that's why he's still active as Manager.

Well I say something, of course it's my perspective, I may be wrong, but the internal problems that Juve had I think they fixed them, because I really know that the Italian league is not going so well, but if they play the league like they played today in the UCL, really, that will be something very impressive, they should also make the most of all the potential they have from DiMaría, because the assistance he gave today with the external instep, was something so spectacular that that type of pass one gives few times in real life because it is something very precise, and where it is done from time to time it can be in a Play Station game, but it was masterful and I wanted to bring that, because that detail is what wins games, so Juve must use DiMaria a lot.

Well, it should be noted that for now he cannot do anything else, I think he has to work with the material he has, there is no other way, he has to do it well, Allegri is a person who knows a lot, that cannot be denied, besides It has given many good results, I think that this time Allegri will go well towards a renewed team, there had been a lot of speculation that they had internal problems, I don't know if it's true, but if so I think they have been fixing it, now what we can to verify is if they can put in a good performance from now on, if in Serie A they make the change as they showed in the UCL, we could be talking about a potentially winning team in Serie A.


One of the things that I like is the opinion of the players, in this case the "fideo" DiMaría said the following:


Juventus, Di Maria: ‘Assists make me happy, but I deserve not to play against Milan’

He had been sent off in the first half of the match against Monza before the international break due to a reaction foul that cost him a two-match suspension.

“I’m sorry not to play, but I deserve it,” He admitted. “I am sorry for what happened, it was a lack of respect for the club and myself. I’ll try not to do it again.”

These are things that really impress, a player with this heat should be used to its maximum, besides he has already made it known that this will be his last World Cup, so these cartridges that he is burning must be very well used.

There are so many miscommunications. I have been watching milan against chelsea. I know that there were so many moments where ac milan's player can't make a good communication from one to the each other. Some ball were missing.
Chelsea has been using it so well as chelsea able to create three goals. This puts chelsea have same points as ac milan. A bit difficult for milan to beat juventus easily. We know that how good juventus from its last game.
Milan must work even harder to make it happen but my feeling tells me that if milan will lose another points in serie a against juventus

from 8 matches that AC Milan has played only lost 1 time in Serie A, it's not too bad, in terms of their performance is quite good.
and the 3 goal defeat to Chelsea cannot be used as a reference, because the tension in Serie A and UCL is different and also Chelsea also have better quality players than AC Milan so I think the defeat was very reasonable even though AC Milan played very badly in that respect.

UCL Group E is now very fierce, 4 teams still have a chance to qualify for the round of 16, as well as AC Milan who has only collected 4 points from 3 matches that have been played.


and for the match against Juventus I think AC Milan has a greater chance of winning the game considering Juventus' current performance is very bad.

I really believe Milan can complete its journey in the Champions League to qualify for the next round. Chelsea, Salzburg and Dinamo Zegreb are expected to drop points in the remaining match but Milan must win the match. Until matchday 3, Milan and 3 other teams still have the chance to qualify for the next round.

Now in Serie A, Milan is favourite against Juve and they shouldn't lose, otherwise the gap will increase..

I hope so, but I don't know if a bad result in the Champions League will affect their performance later.

The sudden defeat by Chelsea is bad for AC Milan but they still control their chance to be qualified for the next round. Fhis defeat affects their players but I hope they will come back soon. In Serie A, they should not lose more points as many teams are competing for top of the league and Milan have to protect their championship.

Chelsea lit the light in Champions League after this surprising win but they have tons of thing to do. AC Milan and Chelsea are still the most experienced clubs in this group and honestly I would prefer to see both of them go to a next round.

After a huge win over Barcelona, Inter are going to play an away game against Sassuolo. This is another tough game for them undoubtedly. However I really liked Inter defense against Barcelona. There was some significant improvement as they didn't let Barcelona have so many goal attempts. This can be a sign for them about their next game in the Serie A as well.

I started to think that this win will be a huge motivation source for Inter to play more solid in defense and offense both. Inter don't have bright stats in away games as they have conceded 10 goals in 4 games so far. But I think they will manage to win here one way or another. But as for betting, both teams to score @1.62 seems safer to me.

[babo]

the task is difficult because there is no money to spend
the budget is very limited and therefore this makes the task very difficult
in his previous experience, coach Allegri did not hurt, this time he has more difficulties due to lack of money

Maybe Allegri can still give a good result at the end of the season with their current & additional players. But, their focus can be on the Coppa Italia or to be in the Top 4 ^{(if juventus can't make their performance better)}. I think Ronlado's departure at a time when football was only able to give a permission for spectators going to the stadium after Corona made it a little difficult for Juventus to get funds. Transfers made at beginning in the season did not meet Allegri's expectations. And I remembering how Allegri find difficult times after bringing AC Milan get a Serie-A Title. After that, the performance of the Milan players went down and Allegri become get fired.

I think he actually did arrange the team quite well but the problem is some players became injured. Right now the situation is very challenging for Juventus. Only 3 wins out of the 8 matches are just not enough.

I agree with @masulum that the departure of Cristiano Ronaldo actually had a substantial effect on the performance of Juventus. And recently Paulo Dybala has also left the club. There has been a further weakening of the team's attack as a result of this.

If a coach doesn't acquire the team that he is looking for, it will always be difficult for him to find success as a coach. Right now I think the managerial position of Allegri is under a lot of threat. I think he will be given a little more time. But two things have to happen. Juventus need to improve their performance quickly so that they can finish at least in the top 4 at the end of the season. If either of these things does not happen he is almost certain to get sacked for sure.

For Dybala I agree with you, but for Cristiano Ronaldo not so much. He had never been very close to the team, it seemed to me just a commercial operation.
In any case, if players leave and do not arrive it is a signal of a "monetary" problem, as I have always said.
This season Allegri has to work in reserve, with a team with low morale.

I think so , Inter are currently motivated by their win in the champions league after all the morale of the players will definitely increase
Sassuolo are also not a strong team even though they are 1 place above Inter but Inter deserve to be favorites with various considerations.

There will be a slight difference in Inzaghi's scheme in Serie A because when they faced Barcelona in the Champions League some time ago they were more focused on defense but it is likely that for this Serie A continuation they will focus on attacking again. The problem is that when they decide to focus on attack it is clear that the defense will not be as solid as they have been in Serie A and it is clear that Inzaghi will have to change this if he is to return to the title race.

Inter Milan played well against a strong team like Barcelona. We saw Barcelona's dominance throughout the match. Barcelona had possession 72% time of the ball. But due to the excellent performance of the defenders of Inter Milan, Barcelona could not score any goals in this match. On the other hand, Inter Milan managed to keep possession of the ball at only 28%. They still managed to score a goal. And after scoring the goal in the first half, Inter's players did not attempt any attack in the second half.
Hopefully, they will want to continue this streak in Serie A. As Inter Milan is currently ninth in Serie A. Now they need to earn full points in every match if they want to move towards the top of the table.

I only partially agree with you. Because if Inter let Barcelona dominated the match, they have more risk to get lost.

But due to the excellent performance of the defenders of Inter Milan, Barcelona could not score any goals in this match.

I agree here as Inter's defenders and midfielders too are very well to maintain connections to reduce dangerous chances from Barcelona. Moreover, Barcelona were unlucky too as if Ansu Fati hadn't let the ball hits his hand, Barcelona would have had an equalizer.

On the other hand, Inter Milan managed to keep possession of the ball at only 28%. They still managed to score a goal. And after scoring the goal in the first half, Inter's players did not attempt any attack in the second half.

Calhanoglu had two dangerous finishes in the match and he scored one goal. I think Inter Milan were well with counter attack in the match and scoring one goal looks like too little from opportunities they created.

Hopefully, they will want to continue this streak in Serie A. As Inter Milan is currently ninth in Serie A. Now they need to earn full points in every match if they want to move towards the top of the table.

Hope so. They just lost to Roma and they will have to be more carefully in Serie A if they don't want Napoli, Atalanta run too far away.

[Jody.Drummer]

This week there will be a big match between AC Milan and Juventus. Both clubs still haven't been able to find their best game so far, especially Juventus which continues to be overshadowed by unsatisfactory performances every week. AC Milan's chance to win is quite large, especially since they will play a home match, at the Sa Siro Stadium. It's really hard to decide where I will bet because with the condition of the two clubs it is possible for something unpredictable to happen. But I will try to make AC Milan the favourite.

I hope that Juventus will wake up a little
risks being a match played only in the Juventus half-field at the moment

I am very sorry for their situation, but you have to spend your money wisely
this is my opinion

Sassuolo are also not a strong team even though they are 1 place above Inter but Inter deserve to be favorites with various considerations.

Inter can't be favorite in this game untill they start showing some consistency in the league, they have been very inconsistent this season and have lost games that people thought they were favorites to win. Inter had a good night in the champions league against barcelona, but the two competitions are different, and it will be hard to use that to judge how they will play in their next league game, they are currently 9th on the table, and now is probably the best time to maintain a good level of consistency, but surely Sassuolo will not be an easy opponent to face away from home.
