Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[X-ray]

The key to Napoli's success so far is that they play very compactly as a team, no player is considered more than the other, we often see when there is a star player in a club the player is like a boss and must be the focus to make him even more great, but at Napoli Instead, they focus on the success of the team

Im not sure that thing gonna be last until napoli will get trophy if napoli will be selling its striker and some players in the club that contributed a lot to the napoli. that would make the situation become very different. Remember that there will be so many offers come for napoli next transfer season. So many team have been targetting some best players in napoli caused by those team saw that napoli have a very well performance in serie a and champion league.
Napoli may not able to win the trophy if some players will be deciding to leave from napoli and try to join with another club. Napoli must have tried so hard to defend their players from another team to make sure napoli can continue the good trend like winning any match in serie a

There is no doubt that Inter Milan's squad is strong. The squad has a lot of talented players. But their weakness is that their players are not performing well regularly, and their match strategy is weak. And so Inter Milan's performance is erratic. However, Inter Milan players have the ability to defeat any strong team. Inter Milan won against Napoli cannot be said. The match will be competitive. It won't be an easy win for Napoli either. However, the performance of Inter Milan's defenders is slightly weaker, so Napoli will have a slight advantage.

I totally agree with you, but the fault is also from the management that pampers the players too much making them feel like gods
In other teams they make it clear, you are a professional, I pay you because you are a professional and you must behave as such

The reasons for his erratic performance are all here, in my opinion.
then of course, it's strong (on paper)

Yes, the competition break will slightly interfere with Napoli's performance, even though not many of their players have played in the World Cup. Spalletti is of course very worried about a situation like this, because the long break could cause their performance and cohesiveness to fall apart. In addition, other teams are also very determined to hold Napoli's pace. However, I really hope that the Partenopei will be able to maintain their form until the end of the season, even though it is a bit heavy due to entering a busy period in the second half of the season.

The busy period in the second half of the season will not have much effect on the Napoli team as long as the cohesiveness of the players can still be provided in every match, especially when you say that the players from Napoli themselves are not used much in the world cup later. It is clear that Napoli's good performance will continue until the end of the season, although the Napoli coach is very worried about their decline in performance in the second half of the season, but with the current number of points advantage, I don't think Napoli will be so worried about facing their opponent in the second half of the season.

It will not be a big problem for Napoli, the break in the first half of the League due to World Cup preparations is more profitable for Napoli considering that not many players have gone to Qatar, so the players can maintain their stamina and avoid injury.
Competition in the future will be even tougher, because other clubs will hunt for players in the transfer market, so the competition will be even tougher and more difficult.
What is a bit disturbing is that striker Victor Osimhen has been sold to another club and has not been able to find a suitable replacement for him.

I totally agree with what you said because I also believe that Napoli's performance will not be bad in the second half of the season even though they have to face a temporary break. And Napoli also have the ability to maintain their best performances so far and how they will play until the end of the season even though the competition will become more fierce in the second half of this season.

Don't let Napoli take a wrong step by letting the player who brought them consistent appearances to play leave the team. This will be detrimental to them because it will destroy the balance and chemistry that they have created so far. If that happened then everything they had done until now would be for nothing. However, the players currently in the squad are players who have contributed to the team's performance.

Well, not only the players are to blame, but also the coach, all the same players are following his instructions.
Yes, it's much easier to change one person (coach) than to look for 11 people again, but Inter really have a very competitive squad and they can beat anyone they want. They just need to teach players discipline and make them believe they can really beat anyone, because lately they don't believe it themselves.

[ILuckyGuyI]

Actually Napoli and Inter both are very productive teams. I mean that Napoli have scored 37 goals in the league so far while Inter's is 34. This is really impressive for Inter even though they are 11 points and four places away from Napoli now. However Inter's main problem is with their defense obviously. Because they have conceded 22 goals until now. They are already among the most conceding teams in the league now. When it comes to their win rate in big games in the league, it is 20%.

I mean that they have played against Milan, Juventus, Lazio, Atalanta and Roma so far and beaten only Atalanta. They lost to all of the remaining opponents. This is another big problem for them against Napoli. Even though they are going to play in Giuseppe Meazza it doesn't matter for Napoli. Because Napoli are beating everyone no matter it is home or away game.

Napoli are in great form, their team is in one of the best performances right now. All the players in the team are playing with the responsibility to give something to the team. Napoli are performing brilliantly day by day. Hope their team will do well.

The season is still very long and everything can happen in the middle or end of the season, but I think so far Napoli have shown something extraordinary and should be appreciated with their consistency in the league and champions league, but I think the world cup is will be a test for Napoli because you can be sure that the world cup will affect the performance of their players later and that's when maybe we will see Napoli performance will not be stable after the break is over, if you look at the experience  in the previous season, it is difficult for us to predict who  will get the scudetto because usually teams that were at the top at the start of the season actually experienced a decline after entering the middle of the season.

All Napoli fans will hope that Napoli will always be in the best condition. The world cup has given a bit of a break for players who weren't included in the national team squads that were taken to the world cup. While players who will compete in the world cup will potentially be injured.
Napoli really hope that nothing happens to their players who are defending their country while the biggest football tournament in the world is still ongoing, if one of Napoli players suffers an injury it will greatly affect Napoli appearance after the League starts again.

Napoli which has secured first place with an eight-point lead from Milan, which is in second place, will try to give its best after the world cup break. Spalletti of course, had prepared if something unexpected happened, including the hijacking of his players by another club.
Several Napoli players have become the target of other big clubs, Spalletti must persuade his flagship player to be loyal and willing to help Napoli win the Scudetto which has not been won for a very long time.

[Velvet78]

Napoli will still be the highly favoured team for the win in their Inter game up next. Because there is still a huge strength gap between these teams now. Napoli have played very well in big games as well and I expect them to show the same level of performance again here.

On the other hand there is still a long time to go for this game. There are many variables that can change the way this game could possibly go as well. Napoli might start dealing with serious injuries or maybe some important players wouldn't be in a strong mental condition for a while after the World Cup finishes. We will find out about all of these later.

The team must have good chemistry between players and coaches, this must be done at the Inter Milan squad. We can see how Juventus did not play consistently at the start of the season, where at the start of the season there was no chemistry between players and coaches, as time went on  Juventus started to rise, and they beat Inter Milan a few weeks ago , that's what the current Inter Milan squad must build, at least they improved the rhythm of the game they applied last season, where they won the scudetto title at that time..

I only wonder how Napoli will response when their win streak ends. I don't expect them to continue their win streak too long or until the end of season. It's an unrealistic expectation. After World Cup, Napoli will have three big matches and I believe their win streak will come to the end. Issue that is important for them is after they have a loss, how they can return strongly and win again.

On the other hand there is still a long time to go for this game. There are many variables that can change the way this game could possibly go as well. Napoli might start dealing with serious injuries or maybe some important players wouldn't be in a strong mental condition for a while after the World Cup finishes. We will find out about all of these later.

Both Napoli and Inter Milan will have to watch the World Cup with fear that their important players will get injuries during that tournament. Whether their players return with a good body or with injuries. What team have better resources after World Cup will have advantage in January matches.

True, but it's likely that after this break it will be a bit more competitive because of course the other teams will be looking to continue to catch up.
The start of this season was a little different from the previous one because the conditions of several big Serie A clubs were not very good, making Napoli feel like they were running alone in the hunt for the title.
But there are indeed 18 games remaining now so anything can still happen.

This is true, but this season could be different. Napoli consistency makes us feel amazing about them to bring new champion. about the world cup i very agree and almost all football fans have the same thought, where the world cup can be a threat to players. However, if at the end of World Cup, there are no Napli players get injured and return fit, so in the end is the big match they must win that matches or at least get draw. so, chance  for Napoli to get Scudetto still remains on the same path even though it was stopped because of the world cup.

If you compare it today of course I agree with you but this game schedule is next year anything can happen including each player
By the way I wouldn't consider Inter Milan as a competitor to Napoli for the title I think AC Milan will be the main competitor
Meanwhile, Juventus cannot be predicted because their performance is not stable.

We might never know for sure how players will return after WC and in what shape because this will be a huge factor for the second part of the season. Sure , Napoli right now is on a roll with a great winning streak and a lot of points in front against 2nd place in Serie A but that can change quickly. However, I do think this year should be in favor of Napoli as they should have won 2 years ago but Inter didn't gave them a chance even if Napoli stood in front of Serie A for quite a while.

Juve....very hard to predict anything regarding to them right now so let's wait and see what January will bring for them.

inter milan and napoli are 11 points apart, that is a distance that is difficult for inter milan to chase. Maybe inter milan will focus this season for UCL and that is the biggest hope for them this season. In the domestic league Napoli and Ac milan are the two leading teams in the hunt for the title this season. Juventus might be behind them as a team that will disturb the consistency of the two teams above it. the next match will be held next year right after the world cup, it is even more likely that many bettors will make their choice for Napoli as the Scudetto winning team this season.

Napoli may be the team that is not benefiting from the World Cup in the middle of the competition, with fairly consistent performance and an unbeaten record could stopped when player returning to the team with injury. Luciano Spalletti need to build new scheme again if the previous with several player get injury.

Both Napoli and Inter Milan will have to watch the World Cup with fear that their important players will get injuries during that tournament. Whether their players return with a good body or with injuries. What team have better resources after World Cup will have advantage in January matches.

All teams need watching their player in World Cup not only Inter or Napoli but also all Serie A teams have their player in World Cup guarantee returning to the club with fit condition, I think Napoli can dropped position standing later if over World Cup many their player get injury exactly many big match waiting after World Cup.

If you remember the previous season, Napoli is one of the candidates to win the Scudetto if only they don't run into problems when the season will end. They had to settle for finishing third in the standings table even though they had previously been at the top of the standings for quite some time. They finished with 79 points, 5 points behind Inter Milan and 7 points from defending champion AC Milan. However, it is true that the situation is now different if Napoli are still able to maintain their level of consistency and collect point after point from the matches they are running. They have to learn from last season and correct their mistakes and not repeat them.

[Majestic-milf]

In football everything is possible, nothing is impossible. In fact Inter are one of the strongest teams in Serie A, there is no need to underestimate them even though at the moment they are not very convincing about their form. Napoli could drop points if Inter are too determined to maintain their good record, and this is always possible.
I will be happy if Napoli drop points in this match regardless of draw or defeat. I think an Inter win would be better for Serie A, it would close the gap in points between first and second in the standings a bit.

If Napoli drop points in this game then it is very good for competition in Serie A. But they also will not let their comfortable position fall in front of Inter Milan. However now Napoli is a very good and consistent team in Seria A compared to Inter Milan who are starting to find their true identity by pushing up in the standings. Inter Milan does have a chance to beat or at least hold a draw, but Napoli are one step ahead of Inter Milan.

This match is going to take place on the 5th of January the next year by the way. So there is a long time to go till then. And between that type of break, anything can happen.

As far as I remember, we have seen a lot of teams losing consistency after there is a break for the World Cup or any kind of big break like this.

So, I really cannot predict what’s going to happen after a big break in club football. But what I understand is that right now Napoli has breathing space for them. The pressure is on Inter to win. So Napoli is going to have to psychological advantage when the competition starts again.

 It's normal for one to be undecided in a game like this, because if we check it, Inter are not a small club even though they are ranking 5th. But if you look at their performance last season, you'd still see Inter can still upset them.
 Of all their 32 meetings, Inter has won 10 times and would be hoping to make it the 11th and also struggle to top 4th placed Lazio. I think the game in Jan would be to Inter Milan's favor.
