Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Lillominato89]

Milan still has a long way to go for catching up with Napoli in the standings. Because they still have some weaknesses against even weaker teams than themselves. They lost 5 points recently because of this kind of games and caused the gap with Napoli to get even bigger. Milan don't have the luxury of losing many points from now on.

We don't know how these teams will return from the break of course. But if Napoli players keep the same motivation and maintain a big team effort than Milan will need to move on with minimum amout of point losses as of then.

This year's Milan is not last year's Milan, it has lost a bit of brilliance, like all teams compared to last year! Napoli, on the other hand, totally changed their way of playing and the results are there for all to see! difficult to recover the 8 points for the rossoneri, otherwise they will have to hope for a gift from the cousins ​​of Inter, by winning the match against Napoli at the resumption of the championship, so as to reopen the race for the scudetto

it was Napoli who did not contribute many players to the World Cup. so that the Napoli players have more time to rest and practice. even Osimhen must have continued to train during the world cup. while Juventus, Ac milan and inter milan. these three teams seem to contribute a lot of players to the world cup. so we don't know if after the world cup whether these three teams will be okay.

It has always been the case that Juventus, AC Milan and Inter have been clubs whose players have always played for the national team, just like in other leagues where Barcelona and Real Madrid are also like that.
Napoli benefit from this situation in that their core players can rest and train as usual without having to play in the World Cup and this condition can make Napoli's performance remain the same and continue to be at the top of the table because their core players remain fit.

Hopefully it's true, with not many Napoli players participating in the World Cup, it will leave them better prepared than any other team to restart Serie A after the break. They have the ability to maintain it now, so I hope they don't make mistakes they shouldn't. Of course they can start the league more enthusiastically than any other team in the position they are in, I hope they are more motivated.

[Fesatmas]

AC Milan Juventus Inter still have a chance to catch Napoli, there are still many games ahead. We might be surprised when the league starts again, because Serie A is too competitive and very interesting, positions can still change and Napoli can still be shifted if their performance weakened and inconsistent like at the end of last season.

Serie A has become a competitive league in recent years, where the championship is not only controlled by one team. And now the team that has been a champion for a long time has become the biggest team to win the title after they performed well, and created quite a large gap in points. But it can't be easy for them to make that happen, because the team under them is now trying to break what Napoli has achieved so far. AC Milan is their closest team, so meeting the two of them will really determine in my opinion how strong the two teams are.

After performing well with Napoli and South Korea national team rumours is their defender player Kim Min jae has into Manchester United and Tottenham watchlist and apparently besides Osimhen who targetted by big clubs Napoli also should be hold this player because during this season he is one of Napoli key player and always be playing regular on Serie A or champion league so losing him will have bad impact for Napoli defense because so far his combination with Amir Rrahmani or Juan Jesus was very solid at Napoli defense however besides that yesterday Napoli has won 3-1 from Crystal Palace for friendly matches and this weekend Napoli will played one more match against Villarreal

when the strength has been formed from the formation that has been trained, of course it will change if there is a loss of 1 player or replacing a new player into the formation of the main squad team, of course it will affect the way Napoli play becomes unbalanced as usual, but I am not a supporter of Napoli but their game is quite great during this season, just waiting for Napoli's match against Juventus at the beginning of next year 

[babo]

The advantage for many Italian teams is that their players have not been part of the world championship. Players from Juventus have therefore had extra rest. In any case, they have had a long time to think about the situation. At Inter Milan it was not good the first half of the season either, but I still see potential for that team. AC Milan could still become champions, but it is also a team with a lot of experience. And Girou always scores goals everywhere, someone like that decides a lot of matches for you. The question is whether Giroud can still be held after his performance at the world championship.

but if Napoli plays well until the end of the season, of course it will be difficult for Juventus and Acmilan to win the league cup this season, Napoli will certainly not stop fighting to get the Italian league cup trophy this season if Napoli fails in the Champion's League later, Acmilan is still 8 points apart by Napoli even though it can be pursued but it seems difficult to get rid of Napoli this season

Napoli have a very strong and well-organized team, with high-level players and the team also has a very good expert coach (i love him), who has shown that he knows how to manage game situations (and transfers) in the best possible way. I remember that Spalletti also coached Inter.

Furthermore, Napoli has a large fan base who support the team at all times. All this makes Napoli a very competitive team and able to fight for the scudetto without particular problems, in fact I really think they will win it.

I don't see how it can worry Milan and Juventus who have other problems.

[Doell]

AC Milan Juventus Inter still have a chance to catch Napoli, there are still many games ahead. We might be surprised when the league starts again, because Serie A is too competitive and very interesting, positions can still change and Napoli can still be shifted if their performance weakened and inconsistent like at the end of last season.

The chance is quite small of napoli will always be winning the rest of match. The gap was also very big at this moment. Milan can only hope that napoli to get lose streat for the rest of matches in the serie a. there are 8 points gap between milan and napoli. It can be even bigger when napoli will always be winning the match while the team below it will be struggling with their performance in the serie a from mid until end of season. Serie a is having some big clubs that were always competing between one to the each other but this season napoli was dominating serie a by always continue to do win streak against another team. The chance for napoli to win the title is very big as long as it can always keep the performance to be consistent.

Actually I have no doubts with Napoli, if we look at the Champions League this team is very good in group A and qualify for the next round, getting the same points with Liverpool this team is able to be consistent to at least qualify. The same thing so far in Serie A has been extraordinary, the performance is unstoppable. But Napoli on next will be against Inter then Juventus, it will not be easy for them to get full points.

[Sirait]

After the World Cup, Napoli's strength has not decreased much, they are still very strong and difficult to beat. Their position at number one and always winning by having a distance in points that are far enough is impossible for Juventus or Milan to catch up with. If these two teams want to If you win first place, you have to work hard to win.

Of course Napoli's strength will not decrease, because nothing has changed with their squad, all the players who fell in the world cup returned to their team well. I'm really sure, Napoli can't wait to get back to competing in Serie A, because their hopes of winning the league this season are very big. Juve and Milan can only see from afar because Napoli points and both are quite far away.

[izsara]

To be honest I would probably make Milan last choice after Napoli, Inter and Juventus when it comes to the championship.
currently Milan's condition is still very concerning and we cannot rule it out. Behind so many points at this time clearly makes their chances dwindling and I would not believe a miracle for them in this condition to become champions again.

Ac milan is not so many points behind, do not forget that they are in second position and are only 8 points behind Napoli, but teams like Inter and Juventus than you claim have a better chance at the championship are behind Ac milan, Juventus is in 3rd and Inter and in 5th, so between all the teams behind Napoli, Ac milan are the closest, and i feel they will end second, behind Napoli who will end first when the season is over.

Still, this is Serie A with conditions where every team is rarely consistent except for Napoli now.
Right now, instead of being busy thinking about how they catch up, I prefer to see how they stay consistent, especially now that they are also only 2 points ahead of Juventus and with their current problem condition, I actually still have quite a doubt about Milan and Juventus until now.

[Docnaster]

Juve was 8th in the table by early October, looking at the table today, there is an extraordinary elevation in their position after the 3-0 win against Lazio on Sunday 13th November. Allegri’s side is not doing badly in series a. If they are continually bent on doing, it is fair to say that they could register their 37th series-a title come 2023, seeing that Napoli and Ac Milan may find it difficult to invest equal strength in both the champions league and series a.

the offer made by MU to min jae is very tempting, 50 million euros is a big enough figure for a player like him, but reportedly the napoli coach (spalletti) told min jae that if he moved to MU, he would not be happy there

I agree with what Spalletti said, that Min Jae definitely won't feel at home at MU. ten hag's coaching style definitely won't suit him, so far what can awaken min jae's potential is spalletti himself, he trusts min jae in napoli and puts in the core players

Napoli did make half this season with their good play. accumulated quite a several points compared to their opponents. but the season is long, there are many games to be done. Napoli must not lose focus if it wants to maintain its current throne.

The winter transfer market can bring a lot of changes from other big clubs. like Rome, which is currently reported to be quite aggressive in looking for players.

Of course the situation will be different from what happened at the start of this season because several teams will improve in improving their performance. be it roma, ac milan and inter milan going fast in this transfers window. even Napoli must also be able to protect their players from the seduction of death from other teams who want to buy their players like Osimhen.
In the second half of Serie A, I think the big teams will appear more impressive than the start of this season, such as Ac milan and also inter milan. Napoli must be able to stem the rise of the top teams in the title race in the second half of this season with the way they must always appear consistently for every game they play.

Spalletti words were not to scare min jae not to move to Manchester United, as a coach Spalletti is very aware of the conditions at Manchester United and also the EPL is very hard which relies on speed and physicality. Spalletti also doesn't want his team to have trouble looking for new players, the current squad is perfectly formed. Solidarity and mutual understanding of each other will give birth to strengths that are able to compete with other big clubs to become champions when the season ends. Spalletti wants to keep Napoli from being lame as a result of his top players being hijacked by other clubs.

Napoli already have points that is far ahead of other teams,  so if they can still continue to play well I'm very sure they can win  the league. The difference of 10 points from other teams can take them far to achieve the trophy.

Yes, it is difficult for other teams to overtake Napoli, at least if Napoli can be overtaken then Napoli must continue to experience consecutive defeats. Meanwhile, I think that is very unlikely because after all, I am very confident that Napoli will be able to maintain good results in every match.
Even if in several matches Napoli loses and or draws, I'm sure these bad results will not be sustainable because of course they also have the ability to overcome them.

Also, don't worry about the competing teams, which of course are also difficult to be consistent in winning, even though Milan has Giroud who is a player who is quite prolific in scoring goals but still, Milan will also certainly get several defeats and draws.
Therefore, to be able to catch up with that 8-10 point gap is something that is difficult, because you would expect continuous bad results for the top teams and continuous good results for the teams below them. Obviously it's something that I'm sure won't happen at this moment, let's see the end result later even though everything still looks possible but for me it's something difficult.

Their position at number one and always winning by having a distance in points that are far enough is impossible for Juventus or Milan to catch up with. If these two teams want to If you win first place, you have to work hard to win.

Apart from having to work hard and consistently to win every match that will take place after the world cup. Juventus and AC Milan also have to hope for defeat for the Napoli team so that they and other teams can get closer by shortening the distance from the number of points that Napoli currently has. And what has to be seen after the world cup is how Napoli will perform in their next game in Serie A, because that will determine how Napoli will perform for the rest of the season.

Usually there will be changes in team performance during international breaks like this world cup. Players who return to their respective clubs must also be exhausted because the match schedule is too tight, plus there may be several players who were injured after the world cup. Therefore, of course, all the clubs that are competing again will try to reach a higher place and it is only natural that if Napoli will suffer defeat, this opportunity will be put to good use by other clubs to climb up the standings.

He was already a great defender and it was always known that he would eventually leave. Last year he was in Fenerbahce and played wonderful, that's now he got into Napoli and this year he is the best defender on the team that is fighting for the title in Serie A with absolutely no loss at all so far, isn't it normal for him to be wanted as well?

Of course he would be leaving with Osimhen, and to be fair that's not bad because if they can get as high as 100-110 million from both (or anything more) that means we are going to end up with something much greater and that's a good thing for sure. I am not saying that we will see Napoli keep winning next year, but that financial gain is insane, no other team would have it in Serie A.

AS Roma are reportedly interested in the Japanese national team player, Ristu Doan, who is competing in the World Cup. He scored 2 goals in the World Cup with Japan and was able to lead his country to the round of 16, even though he had to be eliminated because he lost to Croatia. In Freiburg itself he is a player who gets regular playing minutes and has played 15 times by creating 4 goals and 2 assists so far. But no deeper news has been heard, it's just that AS Roma is reportedly continuing to monitor the player who became the top scorer for the Japanese national team at the Qatar World Cup.

Napoli is a team that has excelled a lot, both in Serie A and in the UCL, this is because of the good work that has been done very well, and this is due to the hard work that has been done by its technical director and its team of players where everyone understands each other and that is not achieved overnight, a, and a very long process, for this reason if in this window of transfers, purchases and sales if they sell their players it will not be the same, because They will have to acquire new players who may not have the same empathy as with them, this is something that cannot be denied, now if they continue like this without selling or anything, I think things can turn out very well.

Osimhen and Raspadori shine as Napoli defeat Crystal Palace

The Premier League side had a good start, testing Alex Meret with Ebere Eze’s volley before Wilfried Zaha’s angled drive opened the scoring.

Moments later, Osimhen drew level with a spectacular effort, flicking the ball in the air over the head of Will Hughes to turn among defenders inside the box until firing in from a tricky angle.

It started raining heavily for the second half, which saw both teams make numerous substitutions.

Mario Rui made a decisive block on Doucoure and a deflected long-range Leo Ostigard effort forced a save, but Raspadori took centre-stage with a powerful strike into the roof of the net and turned in the third on a low Zanoli assist rolled across from the right.
