Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Altryist]

The golden opportunity that has been held by Napoli this season will not be let go, because a good opportunity will never come twice at different times. So for this season it is clear that Napoli will really try not to make mistakes like before in order to get the Scudetto this season. There are a lot of teams in Serie A who are trying to catch up on points from Napoli who are currently leading the table and I think Napoli are very much aware of that now and obviously will always avoid making the slightest mistake this season.

Napoli didn't have as much of an advantage last season as they did this time, of course they will try to keep it but it might not be so easy if they will have bad series again. Although I repeat this time the situation is different, and their lead has already become very significant, this may be enough to withstand some kind of recession.

Reflecting on last season, at first Napoli performed very well and competed with AC Milan and Inter Milan to win the Scudetto title. But bad things happened to them where they had to slip several times and caused them to leave early in the competition.
I agree, this season they have a bigger chance compared to last season, they are now 8 points ahead of second place which is now held by AC Milan. That is a very good capital for them to keep their points away from other competing clubs. Not an easy task, of course. They are required to maintain stability in order to remain in a comfortable position in the standings table. Once they make a mistake it will open up opportunities for other clubs to slowly approach them.

AC Milan and Juventus have the opportunity to catch Napoli, the difference of eight to nine points is not that far away, while there will still be a lot of matches. This indicates that Napoli must really maximize the remaining matches before ensuring the Scudetto.

On average, the champion of Italy becomes a team that loses 23-30 points in the entire championship. Moreover, 30 are extreme cases, and the average is not higher than 25. Obviously, 8 points from 25 is a huge percentage, since Napoli still have these 8 points as a right to make a mistake, while the rest of the teams no longer have. Therefore, do not think that since there are many games ahead, 8 points is not enough.

[hahay]

Napoli did have a bad experience when last season they had to be knocked out of the competition due to their own mistakes. They must use it as a whip so they don't repeat the same mistake. AC Milan, who are chasing with a distance of 8 points, also still have time as long as they can play by gaining 3 points from each match, while hoping that Napoli will make the same mistake again as last season. But I don't think Napoli will be stupid enough to miss the golden opportunity that is coming their way now.

Considering this wide points gap then it looks like, I think the other big teams are not going to catch Napoli but they might just be trying to get a better place or position in the standings and of course for the top four. Indeed, of course there is no word of giving up for them, but because it will never be easy for them to always get points in every match, their main target is at least not too far behind.
Anyway, I also totally agree that this season is the season with the best chance for Napoli, so they will certainly make bigger efforts to maintain their dominance this season.

But when it comes to hope, then no matter how many points there are, there is still hope for other big teams under Napoli's position.
But back to their performance, because if later Napoli can still maintain this good performance, it is clear that hope for the big teams below them may be lost because it is too difficult to catch up with points with a gap of around 8-10 points.

[G_Besar]

Napoli certainly benefited greatly from this situation, because three of its rival teams, AC Milan, Juventus and Inter Milan sent quite a number of players to Qatar. Thus, I am quite sure that Napoli will be very difficult to catch due to the fact that their players are fitter, even though there is a possibility that they will slip, they already have a wide enough gap in points from their competitors.

It might be true but remember if napoli has been stating if napoli may try to sell some key players in january. that means if there will be a rotation gonna happen with napoli. Im not sure if that will be giving napoli advantage even tough some big clubs have been sending lots of their players to the world cup but since napoli must adapt with the new formation caused by some key players will be leaving from the club and that will give no advantage to the napoli. I hope that napoli can consider to not sell their key players in january. that may give a big impact to the performance from the club.

I think it is absolutely impossible for the Napoli management to sell players in January transfers. This season is a big momentum for Napoli to win the Scudetto. Even to realize that (Scudetto), the Partenopei management even had to increase its strength.

And the most important thing for Napoli players to maintain at the moment is fitness. After the World Cup competition will be held again and Napoli will of course have more challenges to face. A big point difference with rivals is indeed an advantage, but Spalletti must remind his team not to get carried away with that, because threats are always stalking them every week.

Even though in the first half of this season Napoli have been quite consistent in Serie A, they are not necessarily able to maintain it until the second half of the season continues, because they are also playing in the Champions League. So that the concentration is not only on Serie A matches, let alone talking when players are injured, it will be very difficult to maintain consistency in playing, especially since Napoli's replacement squad is not balanced with the core players. The problem of player injuries is enough to interfere with their consistency in the continued matches of Serie A and the Champions League.
AC Milan and Juventus have the opportunity to catch Napoli, the difference of eight to nine points is not that far away, while there will still be a lot of matches. This indicates that Napoli must really maximize the remaining matches before ensuring the Scudetto.

After the World Cup all the teams will return to competition. Some teams are likely to be impacted due to the lengthy break in competition and it is possible that some players who played in the World Cup will be tired when they return to the club. In essence, the player's fitness factor is the most important thing that must always be considered by the coach.

@Fara Chan The way Juventus is playing right now if they are able to continue playing like that after the World Cup, I think they have a very good chance of getting Napoli, even though they did not start the season well. I don’t trust AC Milan, they are just too inconsistent. Probably won’t be able to defend the title successfully.

@iamsange Obviously, this is going to be the biggest advantage for Napoli. They will have all the players, healthy and ready to go. But meanwhile their opponent is going to have some players fatigued. This is going to greatly impact the standing on the table for each team In my opinion. And Napoli, he’s going to further increase the gap as well.

[lulumiya]

We don't know yet about how this World Cup break will affect the teams. But in my opinion, Napoli can still come back with the same strength as long as they don't face injury problems after the break. They will have many big games waiting for them right after coming back to the league as well.

If they win these big games as usual then it will be even more difficult to stop them for any of the remaining teams. Milan are technically the closest team in the standings but I don't believe in them too much to keep up with Napoli in the meantime. The gap is already 8 points so Milan need to move on with a long winning streak to have a chance.

[Oneandpure]

After the World Cup we see a lot of players getting injured. So there is no guarantee that all players from Napoli's main squad will be able to join the squad after the World Cup. Some players may not be with the squad. So the Napoli coach must be careful in his squad selection. I think Napoli's performance will be stable even after the World Cup if the coach can keep his match strategy right.

I don't think with totally trues with your statement about many players get injured after World Cup because until second matchday matches only have one player with serious injured is Neymar, but announced with Neymar can get back injured on knock out round. Napoli player participants on World Cup still not injured yet and I think if keep consistency and later back to the team actually not any changed with Napoli keep managed first standing position.

But World Cup still not ended yet and have potential with Napoli player if their national team qualify to next round, actually bad thing when have main squad playing for their national team because their physical drop without have enough time take recovery.

Napoli has screwed it up before. It is obvious that a lot of people are very doubtful about their ability to claim the league title this time as well. However, I think that this time they will probably be able to actually win. They have all the advantages that they would have needed. If they cannot win the league title this time, I don’t know how they can.

As long as they win against weaker opponents and do not lose against tougher opponents, they will be in pretty decent shape. Can they do that, or will they not be able to do so? Furthermore, the coach will also have to make sure that the morale of the players remains high throughout the game. This time they have a really good chance and I hope they do not throw it away.

Yes, the slightest mistake will make them punished by other teams who are also threatening them. They should be able to minimize the mistakes they make. Napoli must continue to carry out evaluation after evaluation to keep them from the mistakes that continue to haunt each of their matches. Also about concentration, that's usually what makes players make mistakes, they have to be able to maintain their focus so they don't get lost.

Juventus consistency performance with 6 consecutive wins and returning to 3rd position is currently becoming interesting in the race for the Scudetto title this season. Until week 15th Juventus is only 10 points behind Napoli who are in first place, I think with injured factor and several main player have returning back from injured make Juventus more stronger than started season begin.
But the winning record achievement by Juventus have stop awhile with international and postponed match until one match later, I don't think with one months postponed match Juventus get back chemistry performance after 6 winning in a row because have build at the early and several player not participants at World Cup have different physical I think.

Juventus have played really well in the last few weeks and managed to beat some pretty strong teams in the league. It is very difficult for another team to become the champion in a season where Napoli played so well, but it is necessary to congratulate Juventus, who won so many games in the last weeks despite not starting the league very well.
We have a very long break ahead and the players can rest during this time. I hope the team doesn't lose their old performance

Juventus started the season very badly. Their performance was very poor. But now they are able to solve their problems. I wouldn't say their performance is too strong. But their performance is now very stable. They are consistently playing well. And in the last few matches they have been able to continue their winning streak. But it is difficult to say that Juventus will win the title. Because Napoli has been in great form this season. Napoli is still 10 points ahead of Juventus. So Napoli is still the favorite for the title.

Apart from Napoli which is feared to be the main obstacle for Juventus to win the Serie A title, the last few matches of Juventus have ended in win, but that maybe because they have not met a team that has similar ambitions to win the Serie A title.
I will still be waiting for some of Juventus' upcoming important matches to confirm how consistent they are in reclaiming the Serie A title this season.

There is no reason to think that Juventus and Napoli are only playing for the title. It is true that Juventus have performed very well in the last few matches. They have been able to solve all the problems within the party. But there is no way to underestimate the AC Milan team. Milan is now second in the table. So I would say if Napoli loses the truck and drop points in several matches, then Milan and Juventus will try to win the title. Milan's performance this season is quite good. There is no way to neglect this team.

In this case what you say is true, but with Milan's current condition they are actually quite cornered in my opinion especially with their financial condition which makes this a little difficult.
Milan's current condition in the standings is still very good but on the other hand we know that they currently have a lot of gaps that make them a little insecure and even after the break is over I'm actually still quite pessimistic about how they will face this season.

[safari88]

After a bad start, Juventus still somewhat in the track of Napoli. They are also unlucky that Napoli takes so many points and actually leaves nothing behind. But we will see how Napoli will play after the winter break, it is different with a World Cup and then you are less together as a team. And there is hardly any time for practice matches. But we're going to have an exciting title fight, I don't think Napoli can maintain this high pace all season. Inter Milan is also going to get much closer in a few games. Would Ronaldo still go to an Italian club?

A big point difference with rivals is indeed an advantage, but Spalletti must remind his team not to get carried away with that, because threats are always stalking them every week.

If Napoli management is thinking about any point like this surely they are going to cut their own feet's or in simple words they are going to leave chance of winning title in this season right now we have enough rumors about their few players are under radar of big clubs but most chances they will not do any mistake which will be unrecoverable for them in this season which is surely going to have absolutely stunner for them because things are looking impressive for them and chances are bright for the title race with Champions League performance is also at his best, and they can give shocking results in this league as well which could be bonus for the players and management and surely going to increase value of their players as wall for the future.

[nurilham]

Big advantage in my opinion. Not only they will be fresh but also they will have more time to prepare and improve whatever they need to improve during this break even if I think they are solid in all areas. I don't think Napoli will cease any of those players until next summer and if they will win Serie A , I think they will sell none of them until they have the UCL run after winning Serie A. However, I'm sure a lot of important and respectable clubs are already watching they "brains" of Napoli from the pitch.

Sure, it is a big advantage. During the league break, Napoli players can have enough time to prepare anything for the next matches. The coach can order the players to have more time for training. This is something that the players won't get if they join the world cup matches.

If the Napoli management and the coach are very serious to win Serie A title or UCL title, they surely won't sell any of their key players. They must refuse any offer in January although there is an interesting offer of big money from top clubs. I am sure there will be many offers from top clubs in the next transfer window, especially for Victor Osimhen. It is a big challenge for Napoli to ensure all players to stay until the end of the season.

Napoli's consistent performance and Juventus recent form is surely matter of concern for the current champions and second position holder in league table because now if they want to stay at this rank or increase their chance for the defence of their title then surely they need to invest in coming winter transfer window and bring few quality players which are essential for them without them, they can do down because Juventus is already at his best with Lazio and Inter are also doing good work, and they also can give challenge to top teams and try to catch their chance for the Champions League spot.

Hopefully management will do some positive work for the improvement of the quality because this is surely important task for them if they want to have chance for the top spot which is surely not possible without good players which surely need good funds as well.

[bhooscream]

After a bad start, Juventus still somewhat in the track of Napoli. They are also unlucky that Napoli takes so many points and actually leaves nothing behind.

We can see the progress of Juventus' development in Serie A is very good. Even in several matches they never lose and always win with satisfying results and games. Their failure in the UCL certainly gave a bitter lesson so they kept trying in the Italian Serie. Although maybe this is also too difficult to get the title, moreover, the number of points is very different from Napoli. Napoli itself is the most consistent and growing club. But I don't know if after the FWC there will be a change in players at the club or not, which might interfere with Napoli's performance. Because after all there are some big clubs aiming at some Napoli players.

[alpamar99]

Actually, for now, another pretty good thing for Napoli is that Kvaratskhelia and Osimhen, who are in good condition, are not there because obviously this can make at least the risk of fatigue and injury minimized for them and of course this is an advantage too, although there are indeed some opportunities for them leave but this is still just a rumour.
But on the other hand, of course, there will be some additional flying hours if players take part in the world cup.

In general, not so many Napoli players are in the world cup, so the potential for Napoli to continue to win in the second half of the season is clearly very wide open because Napoli can still formulate their best strategy to win games in the second half of the season. And also Napoli can improve their performances in the Champions League because the Napoli coach knows how the condition of their players is at the moment and also sees the opposing team's consistency starting to decline.

In this world cup, only 5 players from Napoli left and that was Kim Min Jae (South Korea), Mathias Oliviera (Uruguay), Frank Anguissa (Cameroon), Piotr Zielinski (Poland) and Hirving Lozano (Mexico). and actually this is not much different from other big clubs like Inter who sent 6 players and Juventus with 5 players just like Napoli.
This isn't really a big problem because this is indeed an advantage, especially with this, the rest breaks don't go more and more.

[TopT3ns]

We don't know yet about how this World Cup break will affect the teams. But in my opinion, Napoli can still come back with the same strength as long as they don't face injury problems after the break. They will have many big games waiting for them right after coming back to the league as well.

If they win these big games as usual then it will be even more difficult to stop them for any of the remaining teams. Milan are technically the closest team in the standings but I don't believe in them too much to keep up with Napoli in the meantime. The gap is already 8 points so Milan need to move on with a long winning streak to have a chance.

Milan will not chase points from Milan and will not be able to shift Napoli's position with a point distance from the two of them which is quite far and after this World Cup I am sure that Napoli will go further, and fortunately Napoli players are still few who take part in the World Cup so that you can say Napoli's strength still intact and ready to win again in the match to come.

Because after all there are some big clubs aiming at some Napoli players.

Juventus shouldn't focus too much on winning titles, they should focus more on their own game. The reason is that it is true that they have won in a row, but I cannot say that their game is satisfactory. In fact, I think in some of their wins it was a stroke of luck that came their way. There is time for them to be able to perform even more satisfactorily, also some of the players have recovered from injury.
