Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Shasha80]

What happened with Juventus? I would say they need a huge change in whole squad and need to change the coach. Their defense is very weak, midfielder is also bad, and it makes the attackers unable to get good opportunities to score goals. If I'm managing Juventus, I'll throw away some players especially in the back side such as Bonucci, Quadrado, Locatelli, Alex Sandro, Danilo. Replacing them with new talented players will be great but of course they need to spend a lot of money to get the best possible players. Allegri is also not good anymore, better to replace him with younger and potential coach. Bring Pirlo back is a good option if you ask me.

You said right in some aspects, juventus really needs change and they should understand that they are not the juventus of old and start rebuilding,I think they are the same as Manchester United, they are going through what United has been going since Sir Ferguson retired, allegri has lost it so he should be sacked,is clear now that his previous succes was help by Antonio Conte team that he left for him, because he didn't build his previous regime is a team Conte has create and have already be winning with.i agree with you that Bonucci and Quadrado should join Allegri out, their time Has pass, I understand your decision when you said Pirlo should return back because of how xavi Hernandez has turn Barcelona fortune around since he came back but you must understand that pirlo is a Risk and juventus need not make another mistake in deciding a new coach because it will take them very back just like how wrong decisions suffered Manchester United.

Juventus defeat against AC Milan was really very disappointing, I see Allegri's strategy is very bad and also Allegri is not able to motivate
Juventus players. Because I see Juventus players don't have a high fighting spirit. It is true that so that Juventus does not get worse,
big changes must be dared to be made by the Juventus management. The first change that Juventus management has to make is sack Allegri,
because I don't see Allegri will be able to make Juventus bounce back.

The next step, of course, is to get rid of players who don't make a big contribution, because I see some Juventus players are not worthy to play
in a team as big as Juventus. If Juventus don't move quickly to make changes, which Juventus feared would continue to achieve bad results,
and later the difference in points between Juventus and the teams in the top 4 will be further away. So Juventus this season is in danger of
not being able to enter the top 4, therefore Juventus must immediately fire Allegri, because the current situation of Juventus is really worrying.

After losing to AC Milan, Juventus is still stuck in 8th place with 13 points from 9 matches, now Juventus is 7 points adrift of Napoli who are at the top of the standings. Juventus has lost a lot of points at the beginning of this season, it is recorded that Juventus has only got 3 wins, 4 draws and 2 defeats. This result is certainly very disappointing for a team like Juventus, the movement of Juventus in the transfer market early last season has not been able to boost the team's performance. Allegri can be said to have failed to manage Juventus, he should be replaced with another coach so that Juventus does not get further down in the standings list.

Napoli have a game in hand just like Atalanta, so they are more than 7 points behind the first place (I don't know about Atalanta, but I'm sure Napoli will beat Cremonese). But the problem is not that it is far from the first place if you count on points, but that there are a large number of teams ahead. One team can get into a crisis and fall down (and you can overtake it), but this is not realistic for a large number of teams. And overall I think that the title race is over for Juventus - they should hope to get at least in the top 4.

Agree. It was over for Juventus because they'd shown they ain't fit for the Serie A Champion title. Their track record so far is unimpressive, lost even to a club like Monza which is at #16, near the bottom. Again, I doubt they could even make it to the top 4 after this season end. Their recently lost to Inter also signals they don't want to change and push for better standing.

Udinese - Atalanta is an interesting game today.

Udinese are the favourite in this one by a small margin according to bookies. Atalanta's main goalkeeper is still injured so I wonder if this will affect them negatively. However it seems like the current goalkeeper is doing a good work as he didn't concede any goal against Roma and Fiorentina. He played in only these games as well. Atalanta are the best team in defense currently as they've conceded only three goals. On the other hand, Udinese are one of the bests as for attacking teams (17 goals). Both teams to score @1.70 is a pretty good choice I think.

I personally don't have a strong prediction as to who will win, but I don't want to miss it and will still bet on this match at Over 2.5 @1.81 and that is the better odds of both teams to score. My memory is not lost of Atalanta who have basically improved from the last few seasons, in contrast to Udinese who seem to have just this season they got their best form because previously they were only in the middle of the table. But even so Udinese have always made difficult resistance to top teams in the last few seasons so yes, after all these two teams are very productive in scoring goals so I'm sure they will have some goals for the final result.

yes, Juventus are done chasing trophies this season. can only hope that Juve will finish in the top 4 and still be able to qualify for the UCL.
Milan seems better at the moment. they are trying to catch up at the start of the season. Roma seems to be starting to improve their performance. as well as their position in the Serie A standings.

Actually, there is still a chance for Juventus to win the trophy this season, but the problem is whether they are able to improve their performance before it is too late or not. 7 points is a difference that can be said to be close for a competition that has just entered its 9th week. There are still many opportunities for them, especially if the team that is currently in the top 4 cannot maintain its consistency. Maybe there will be differences of opinion between them, but indeed I see their opportunity is not really over.

Edin Dzeko again put Inter Milan ahead in the 75th minute, and it ensured victory for Inter Milan. Inter Milan continues to improve through their results in this match. In the first half Sassuolo played better, but in the second half Inter Milan could improve their performance and make the game more balanced. Inter Milan managed to break their record of defeat and make their morale even better. There is improvement, yes that's what I see, although there is still a lot to improve but an improvement is visible.

After winning against Barcelona & Sassuolo this added to Inter's confidence to look at their opponents even though the game was still not good. Inter must immediately improve because they can be better than now. yes that's right, Dzeko saved Inter in the match earlier. Edin Dzeko has always been a top striker and has always been underestimated.

They are better now after the win against Barcelona but for Serie A they are still the same in terms of performance.
Maybe this win could be their turning point after the previous 2 defeats but they need extra effort in this regard because facing Sasuolo and still conceding a goal clearly informs that Inter's Defense is still not very good either.
But fortunately this victory can be capital for them to be confident to travel to Camp Nou in three days.

Despite seeming composed, Inter Milan outclassed the Sassuolo team. I predicted Milan will win the match following the champions league triumph over Barcelona because, if you pay close attention, Inter Milan has been playing with complete assurance and greater fervor on defense since the Derby loss. Two straight victories will boost the team's confidence and performance over the coming days. If Inter Milan can maintain this level of condition, all they need to win the Champions League match on Wednesday against Barcelona

Juventus lost against Milan and now that puts Milan in the top 3. But things are not looking good for Juventus at all. They are in the 8th position and now they cannot even give the excuse of this being early in the season. 9 matches have already been played and the performance of Juventus is still not improving. Consistency is a big issue for Juventus right now. because if you look at all these nine matches, we will see that the matches which they have won, they won pretty convincingly. but the matches that they lost, they lost those matches pretty bad as well.

Napoli should be able to win the next match easily. because the next match is against Cremonese. And Cremonese is currently at the 19th position on the table. So this should be easy for Napoli. Atalanta Is going to play against Fiorentina in the next match. Considering the current form of Fiorentina I am going to say that Atalanta should be able to win this match. and that puts Juventus further down in the table.

Despite the win, I think Dzeko missed a lot of balls, and didn't play to my satisfaction. He has to improve on his pace. No doubt, the two goals were good for the club but we should talk about all the counter-attacks and opportunities never capitalized? The lack of speed in midfield? There were many aspects of the game need to be improved. Don't get me wrong, they made good effort but I just need to point out my observations.

[Pesona1]

Maybe there will be differences of opinion between them, but indeed I see their opportunity is not really over.

The possibility is still there but I think it will be very impossible if Juventus can get the scudetto this season, I don't mean to underestimate Juventus but if you look at their poor performance of course no bettor dares to take the risk of favoring Juventus to win, indeed the competition is still quite long but if there are no significant changes that have happened to juventus, isn't that the same thing, besides if juventus manages to rise, of course, juventus must hope that if the other team experiences a slump so that the difference of 8 points with the leader of the standings can be trimmed by juventus.

Milan seems better at the moment. they are trying to catch up at the start of the season. Roma seems to be starting to improve their performance. as well as their position in the Serie A standings.

Due to the poor performances that Juventus have shown in several matches in Serie A, I have not put Juventus as a team that can compete for the Scudetto at the end of the season. Now Juventus must focus on strengthening its squad in order to improve its ranking in the standings, Juventus must be able to get into the top four in order to secure a ticket to go to the UCL next season. Juventus still has time to improve because the competition still has a lot of games left.

No doubt not listed yet Juventus become candidate for Scudetto in this season after poor performance and have been got 4 loss of 9 games in domestic league then left 7 points from first standing position Napoli. Still left many games but Juventus seems not consistent yet on every match, after won from Bologna last two weeks Juventus defeated by Milan last night and make position drop until 8th place standing now.

Several important Juventus player got injury and seems need waiting on January window transfer opening if want get new player, UCL seems difficult with domestic league because Juventus left 4 points from Benfica. If can defeat between PSG and Benfica on match left actually will have chance for Juventus keep have candidate with UCL trophy although likely doubt Juventus can lead until final round at UCL.

All that Juventus was capable of was for a short period of attacks at the beginning of the match, then Milan created a lot of dangerous chances at the Juventus goal, which eventually converted into two goals scored, but it could have been more. Thus, the backlog from the group of leaders increases even more, and probably it can already be said that even the top 4 for Juve will not be an easy task. It's sad but the reality is that Alegre can't pull the team out of the crisis.

consecutive wins that occurred to Napoli, make Napoli in this season appear more convincing to win the Serie A this season than Juventus. Napoli's front and center lines are really solid, very different from Juventus who are experiencing a crisis on the front lines. to the media, Allegri made a statement that the Juve players have made mistakes lately, I really think what he said is really inappropriate because the coach is the one who should be responsible for the strategies carried out by the players, it seems there is an internal problem in the Juventus.

Not only the consecutive wins of Napoli, but also the shape that Juventus Turin is in. I would bet almost any amount that Juventus is without a chance this season to win the Serie A championship. It is just not going to happen. The question is rather whether they are good enough to qualify for the Champions League at the end of the season and even that seems to be out of reach. It is not that they just had a bad start because they played well but the results sucked. The whole way they are playing and presenting themselves doesn't look like they might be able to improve significantly anytime soon. They aren't a favorite in games like against Atalanta or Inter or Lazio. This year is going to be rough for them.

It's not too strange even though they really need a win but we know that at this time Juventus are also very difficult with the squad they have.
Milan's victory didn't come as much of a surprise to me because it's definitely going to end like that but in this case it might be a little different in the next few weeks because I saw some news about Juventus players who were injured should be in the next few weeks someone recovered and can play.

[BitcoinAccepted]

Udinese - Atalanta was a nice game with many goals. Udinese in particular will be pleased with the result, as they have faced a 0-2 deficit. Atalanta will be disappointed, it was the perfect opportunity to run away from Udinese. At the moment Napoli are playing great football but a few teams are close by. It just won't work with Juventus, but Inter Milan's performance can also be labeled as a failure as far as I'm concerned. 9 games played and 13 and 15 points respectively. Then you are already eliminated for the title. In recent seasons it has become a remarkable competition with many surprising results and also surprising champions. This year I would bet my money on Napoli.

[Furious 7]

With this defeat it is clear that talks about Allegri having to leave will heat up because in any case a defeat to Milan can provoke this matter to continue to be discussed. and with this result they are now stuck in 9th position which makes it even more difficult for them.

Allegri is still struggling until now, despite the many players who are still unable to strengthen Juventus at this time, defeat is something that cannot be accepted.

So much pressure for Allegri who suffered a defeat and a very bad season in Serie A like he can't be defended anymore if he loses the league or the Champions League, but the one who really benefited in the champions league was against Maccabi Haifa and that was the first win them whereas with PSG and Juventus they couldn't win Allegri couldn't do much that he couldn't give his best to his team, I think a lot of fans would be disappointed if he wasn't sacked soon.
But that's what I heard from the Juventus management some time ago who would give him time despite having big dreams in his efforts. Allegri now doesn't have good tactics in my opinion.

In this case, it is still fortunate that there are Maccabi who incidentally are the weakest team in this club and they (Juventus) must also do the same for the second match later because with that the chance will continue to exist for them.
But the problem is can they beat Benfica and at least hold PSG with a draw. Seeing in the first game they were really struggling with that and if this is not corrected then Juventus will have to be willing to leave the Champions League Zone and move to the Europa League.

yes, Juventus are done chasing trophies this season. can only hope that Juve will finish in the top 4 and still be able to qualify for the UCL.
Milan seems better at the moment. they are trying to catch up at the start of the season. Roma seems to be starting to improve their performance. as well as their position in the Serie A standings.

The lack of solidity of the Juventus squad is said to be one of the homework that Massimiliano Allegri must fix at his club if he wants to continue to compete in the Italian League. But the series of bad results they got made the situation even more complicated. Right now the most realistic thing for them to get is to hunt for a Champions League zone position, for the Scudetto it is certainly very impossible for them to get.

[snipie]

Udinese 2 - 2 Atalanta is something that worth to stop for. I believe most people will tend to think that Atalanta will win this game but Udinese is showing a high level of resistance until now. Winning 6 matches in a raw including games vs Roma and Inter before getting a precious draw imo vs Atalanta. Meanwhile, Napoli is the one that profited the most from this by getting 3 points and staying alone in the first place.
