Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[arimamib]

Of course both teams have the same target, which is to win, especially now that they are in a competition that makes it possible to make the match very interesting. I hope both teams play openly and put some impressive pressure on each other and don't try to play waiting. 3 points is the main target for both teams who will determine their points acquisition closer or should they widen and give Napoli an advantage.

Of course the match between these two teams will definitely be interesting. But I think Napoli will be able to dominate throughout the game and can win the game. and of course that means it will widen the difference in points in the standings. but if Atalanta turns out to be able to beat Napoli. then that would be a wonderful thing. because then Napoli's unbeaten record in Serie A could end.

Napoli must be careful with Atalanta, Atalanta appearance this season is not much different from Napoli, Atalanta also always appears consistent when playing at home. Atalanta can be a killer as well as make Napoli unbeaten record in Serie A stop, Atalanta are also struggling to close the gap on Napoli, they will not let this opportunity slip away.

Looks like this time Napoli have to fight harder to win, this game will not be easy for Napoli because Atalanta is very difficult to beat at home. Spalletti must put up the right strategy to extend his winning streak, Napoli must be able to control the game to confine Atalanta players in his defensive area. Napoli also had to close the space to prevent Atalanta players from scoring. This match will be very exciting, both teams want to beat each other. I will skip betting on this match, because it is very difficult to guess who will win this Big Match match.

Chance's of Juventus getting a narrow are slim, they couldn't qualify it's gon be a win match for Inter Milan, eve if they got to loss against Bayern Munich during Champions League play over the weekend.

The Serie A title is impossible for Juventus. And qualifying for the Champions League is also very difficult for them. Juventus are only 3 points behind Roma who is in fourth place in the points table. But the main problem is that Juventus' performances are completely erratic. Juventus have a chance to move up the table if they perform consistently well. Juventus have won their last three matches in Serie A. But they did not play well against PSG yesterday in the Champions League match. and defeated. Juventus' match strategy has improved. But there are still many problems within the team.

There are three big games at the weekend actually.

In addition to the Atalanta - Napoli one, there are Roma - Lazio and Juventus - Inter games as well. Roma and Inter are the favoured sides for the win in these ones. However I don't see a clear favourite side in both games. Because as for big games like this the results can vary quite much. Lazio really shocked by a Salernitana loss last week. The fans will expect a win against Roma. But I'd prefer both teams to score option for betting. As for the other game, I might add double chance on Juventus to my betslip as I don't think they would lose home. Their form in the league is good these days.

I would rather take a double chance on Roma. It seems to me that this game will end either with a 1-0 victory for Roma or a 1-1 draw. Napoli should win without any problems, although technically this is a game between direct competitors and the game should theoretically be approximately equal. And I wouldn't put even a cent on Juventus - they still have a large part of the players injured/out of shape and Inter should easily take advantage of the weaknesses of Juventus.

Milan are like the most comfortable team of the week.    Because the two teams above and the other two below are facing each other on the same week. Milan should be able to take advantage of this opportunity and beat Spezia without much problem. I don't doubt that win even a little as they have a really improved morale now. Because they beat Salzburg in the Champions League and finally qualified for last 16. They did what they couldn't last season.

Anyway, it is really hard to predict what team can stop Napoli in the league. Because for now it seems like Napoli can beat every team without exaggeration. Milan, Roma and Lazio are the teams they have beaten already. They beat all of them in away games which is even more amazing. I'd avoid this game about betting on a side honestly. But over 2.5 @1.70 is looking nice to give it a try.

I am now waiting for the Juventus game against Inter because indeed it is something worth watching.
Apart from this is the Big Match Chiesa's presence at Juventus is one of the factors that makes me look forward to this match.
Chiesa is back and has a match against PSG. I really hope to see him make his Serie A debut again after a long absence.

Unfortunately he played as a substitute, not included in the starting eleven Massimiliano Allegri
There were no changes in the Juventus vs PSG match after Federico Chiesa came on for Fabio Miretti in the 74th minute. I understand he still needs some time to adapt to some of the colleagues who might not be familiar with Chiesa
What is clear is that we are waiting for his best debut like before before he was absent, if in the past Paulo Dybala prevented him from appearing as a Juventus star, now is the right time because there is a lot of hope that hangs on Federico Chiesa.

There is really a great match schedule in Italy at the weekend. I won't have the opportunity to watch all of these great games, but I will do something to watch the match between Juventus and Inter because I think it will be more remarkable than any other match. Juventus have not been performing well this season but they remembered to win in their last game in the league... In addition, bad results after such matches often bring radical changes. Considering this in this context, I think this match will be an important test for Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri.

The obstacle to Juventus performance this season is none other than the storm of injuries that came to them. no doubt if the juventus squad this season is not very consistent in every match even in this season's match juventus must lose to AC monza. Well if you say Juventus will be difficult to compete for the title this season that is true but for a top 4 finish I think Juventus will be able to do it because this season there are still many games left. Pogba has not even recovered from the injury that has plagued him since the start of the season even though Pogba arrival in the summer window is believed to be able to make Juventus stronger but in reality he has been out for a long time due to injury.

Don't forget Atalanta's current host status, because whether you like it or not, that status can affect the course of the match or even the result of the match. If we compare the two teams then I think everyone will agree that Napoli are the more superior team than Atalanta. But sometimes we have to look at other factors of the game, like for example the status of the hosts I have said before. Even if both teams play very well, I prefer that a draw will be fair for both teams. But that's not the target they want to achieve in this match, the effectiveness of the game will be the deciding factor in this match.

I am now waiting for the Juventus game against Inter because indeed it is something worth watching.
Apart from this is the Big Match Chiesa's presence at Juventus is one of the factors that makes me look forward to this match.
Chiesa is back and has a match against PSG. I really hope to see him make his Serie A debut again after a long absence.

Juventus are in the same situation that they are struggling to maintain their form. Simone Inzaghi and Massimiliano Allegri will compete tactically and will compete as to who is more ready now between them. From their statistics in Serie A this season, it's actually not much different, it's just that Inter Milan has won more and if you look at defeats then Juventus is better, it's just that Juventus get more draws. They are 2 points adrift in the standings at 6th and 7th positions.
I think most likely the game will end in sharing the points.

[hahay]

I kind of supported Napoli last season not until they broke my heart to pieces as I gradually watch them game after game lossing the league to Ac Milan. Prior to the Seria A resumption, I initially tipped As Roma since Jose Mourinho has done it before hoping he'll do same once again with Roma.

I think you should put your heart back on Napoli this season, because this season has been a really great season for Napoli and so far this season Napoli are unbeaten in Serie A.
If in the previous season Napoli had a decline in performance towards the end of the season to make their position continue to fall in the standings, but this season Napoli's rival teams in Serie A are not doing well and therefore, this season is a big chance for Napoli to win the Scudetto.

Watched how they did against Verona and they struggled to win especially when they have been scored first by the opponents. Verona defending was massive but they found the way to win.

Regarding Mourinho and Roma I think they still haven't done anything big for Serie A, and even though in yesterday's match Roma beat Verona but Verona only played with 10 player from 36 minutes. In fact, the winning goals for Roma came in 88 minutes and 90+ minutes. , it is an unsatisfactory performance.
Considering the opponents that Roma are facing are below Roma's level, plus the opponent is only 10 player but Roma need a lot of time to ensure the three points, and it's certainly not something great.

Chance's of Juventus getting a narrow are slim, they couldn't qualify it's gon be a win match for Inter Milan, eve if they got to loss against Bayern Munich during Champions League play over the weekend.

I personally predict that Inter still have a chance to win against Juventus, because right now Juventus is in chaos and Allegri doesn't have many ways to solve the problems that occur.
Playing at home for Juventus is still not a guarantee for Juventus to get points, but actually they are competing to be in the top six and their points are only two points apart. But because the situation and condition of Juventus are still not good, then I doubt Juventus at this moment and of course will choose Inter.

Federico Chiesa is back after 10 months out with an anterior cruciate ligament injury against AS Roma. Of course the return of winger Federico Chiesa will be welcomed and is expected to make a difference for Juventus. Cheisa still needs time to get back to his best after a long time he had to recover from his injury. He definitely needs a re-adaptation in the game. For now maybe he will not be given 90 minutes but he comes on as a substitute or becomes the starting eleven but he will be replaced in the second half, that's the prediction I see. However, he still has to get his game back in touch before being trusted to play full time.

Chiesa back from injury at last match and playing about 15 minutes left for Juventus at Champion League when beating by PSG, Chiesa have absent for Juventus ten months and he loss 12 games appearance with Juventus in this season. Excited for next match Juventus against Inter Milan and will Allegri make speculation for playing Chiesa at the early minutes? Allegri not hurry up for playing Chiesa at the early or 90 minutes, he still need adaption after long time injury.
Not difficult for Chiesa get trusted back from Allegri to be regular position at Juventus actually in the right moment where many main Juventus player still injury and Chiesa can play as regular position.

This is a good moment for Juventus.
It's been a long time since they lost a player who had an initiation for their midfield and now Chiesa is back. Of course I have high hopes for this player considering he is one of the players who can be the backbone for my version of Juventus considering his very good performance but injury took it 10 months ago.
Now he's back and my hope for Juventus is now.

In this round, there is many interesting matches. Juve and Inter is challenging one especially that bookies are backing up Inter although Juve playing home.
There is Roma and Lazio with Roma favourites in this game.
Atalanta - Napoli is the hardest imo. Napoli is favourite and once they win, the gap between them and the other teams will increase considerably to 6-8 points!

There is a good chance Allegri will not play him early in the game. There is still some time left for him to get 100 percent fit so that he can start the match. There is no doubt that the coach knows that very well. If he lets him start, I think he will run the risk of the player getting another injury.

So, I think even if he really needs to play he should not start and he should only come after 60 minutes. In any case, at least in the next match. In addition, I don't feel there is much chance of giving him the whole 90 minutes of game time. That is just going to be problematic for his head right after coming out of an injury.

[Distraction]

Actually I think that Atalanta have no difference than Milan when it comes to playing against Napoli. Because Napoli have already proven how capable they are by defeating some of the title contenders. Atalanta are another target for them. Of course its being a match home is nice for Atalanta but this doesn't change that their job is still difficult here. In their last head-to-head match Napoli defeated them 3-1 in this stadium. While in a very impressive form like this, Napoli can do this once again.

Napoli lost to Liverpool in the Champions League a short time ago and I wonder if this would be enough for dropping their momentum a little. I still don't think that they will lose though but maybe Atalanta would draw with them in the worst case. Atalanta are one of the solid defense teams but they aren't as productive as Napoli. If Napoli score first then Atalanta might be in a really big trouble.

[BitcoinAccepted]

The elimination of Juventus in Europe will also have consequences for the competition. And not just positively. I think this has been quite a mental blow to the team from Turin. I'm also surprised that no further steps are being taken to avert a nightmare season. It is quite clear that they will not become national champions, but it would be a disaster if they also did not qualify for the tournament itself. A few years ago they were still the big favorite to win the CL, but then lost to Ajax. The gap between Napoli and the number 2 is already 5 points. I wonder if Atalanta can keep this up, but would they be happy with a new 2nd place? They already did that a few years ago. Considering the budget and budget, a 2nd place is actually an exceptionally good result, but if you come in 2nd you would like to be 1st. If Napoli maintain this form, there is little chance for the rest of the teams.

At least giving him time to play even though as a substitute is also good for relaxing his body so he can adapt back on the field.
He's had a long break so it will definitely take time to make a full 90 minutes but I still have faith in Chiesa's abilities and I'm quite happy to see him back playing after a long time he hasn't been seen on the pitch.

[jaberwock]

Napoli just have a difficult match in Anfield with Liverpool as well as effect from travelling to play it. Atalanta and Napoli are clubs which keen on attacking so the match would be exciting and have a lot of goals.

I consider Atalanta are not too different than Napoli and they can challenge Napoli a lot in the coming match. This match is important for Napoli because all leagues will soon have a break for the World Cup. So if Napoli can maintain its gap with other clubs, after the World Cup, they will have chance to expand it.

Other clubs with international players who will join the World Cup will be affected a lot. Injuries, exhaustion and a lot of other things that impact player performances.

Napoli and Atalanta will be fighting for their position as well as for their current 5-point gap, and the outcome of the game will determine their points gap before the international break. The target of winning is the target of these two teams, Atalanta benefit from playing at home, while Napoli come with their positive trend in Serie A.

Yes, it's a concern for a player, but I hope that whoever is going to play in the World Cup will come back well.

The point difference is not huge, that wouldn't really matter too much for them. But the fact that Napoli is playing a perfect game where they are not leaving anything to chance and winning everything.... that’s just not that easy to overcome.

This does not mean that we are going to see Napoli finish the season undefeated, they may get some losses on the way of course, that is bound to happen, however just because they lose sometimes doesn't mean that most of the games will not be a win. That’s why I am guessing that we should be focusing a bit towards the win part, and how they could win more than other teams, including Atalanta and get the title.

If Napoli score first then Atalanta might be in a really big trouble.

Their loss to Liverpool of course will affect the mentality of players, because before losing to Liverpool, they had an unbeaten record this season.

But as you said that Napoli have a good record against Atalanta, this will be another consideration. If Napoli want to get the Scudetto, they have to make their season in Serie A easy, and one way is to get rid of the big teams there.

Atalanta are currently in second place with 27 points, they are one of Napoli's strongest competitors. The result may be different from their last match. So I think the result of this match will be a win for Napoli or a draw.
