Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[masulum]

Inter Milan are still suffering from the departure of Lukaku two seasons ago. Edin Dzeko came but he is very old striker and even he can help them to have goals and contribute to their team formation and operation, he is no longer able to do this in all matches.

Lukaku returned to Inter Milan this season but he is no longer a Lukaku we knew two or three seasons ago in Giuseppe Meaza. More injuries, less appearances, less contributions and worse performance in general.

I often see players who leave Serie-A and return to their former clubs, most of them don't perform like the season as they are joined for the first tim. There are many factors, from poor performance and some who experience serious physical problems. Lukaku suffered a serious injury, this made him an additional list of failed players. IMO

Recently, I read a rumor if Marcus Thuram become Inter Milan target. His contract, will expire next summer, i think it will make it easier for Inter to sign this player. However, Inter must compete with Tottenham.

Inter Milan should be more realistic to think of top four first and after jumping into top four, they can wait for slippery form from Napoli. If Napoli have a slippery form in future, 11 points in difference will be reduced a lot if Inter Milan can collect as maximum points a possible from their matches.

Inter Milan's performance this season has not been very stable, making it difficult to catch Napoli's points, Inter Milan has collected 30 points and is 11 points adrift with Nopali at the top of the standings. I agree more with chasing the top three in the standings than chasing the Scudetto, because realistically this is more likely to be done by Inter Milan, considering that the top three and four are only one point away from them.

Inter Milan must also be active in the winter transfer market, considering that the striker they currently have is less aggressive and has a relatively old age, so his performance is no longer dangerous as a mainstay striker. The second half of the season will be even more competitive, so Inter Milan needs a reliable striker who can make a difference.

Yes, if you look at it from a realistic perspective, it is very difficult for Inter Milan to catch up on points from Napoli. They should focus more on securing a place in the top 4 to take them to the Champions League. We need to see Napoli's performance drop drastically if we want to see Inter Milan's chances getting bigger in the race for the Scudetto. Even so they have to keep trying, we don't know what will happen in the future with Napoli.

[fachant]

We all saw it, Napoli are still the strongest team at the moment although I don't think Inter are a difficult opponent for them the levels are different  
Among other teams I see Juventus is the most aggressive lately slowly they take their place in the top 3 and they have the best defense with only 7 goals conceded
But in scoring goals they are low meaning that Juventus strikers are less productive and they could buy a new striker in the next transfer market.

I don't really agree with saying Inter are on a different level to Napoli now because it would be really funny to say the difference in level where they are actually quite the same in terms of players.
It's just that at this time, not only Inter but other big clubs in Serie A (besides Napoli) always experience the same problem every year, namely failure in inconsistency and this is what makes the difference.

Napoli is doing great at the moment, all the players in the team are very responsible and they are taking their team forward through hard work. After the World Cup I expect them to train hard again and perform well.

Inter Milan can add some new players to strengthen their squad, this will create a great balance in their squad. They have failed to perform very well at the moment. They have a game against Real Betis on December 17th, I expect them to win this match in a big way.

Hopefully next year 2023 Inter Milan can turn things around and still compete in the Scudetto zone and wait for a surprise at the start of 2023 which club will be able to be consistent until the end of the season.
I still remember where Juventus performed poorly at the start of the season and midway through the turn of the year they were able to win Serie A. It's not impossible for Inter Milan to be like that, but it's true as you said Inter Milan must be active in the transfer market later.

The level that these two teams have between Napoli and Inter is still the same, but their current strength may be slightly different because you see the condition of the Napoli players who are always enthusiastic and able to work as a team well so that they are always superior and always get wins in Serie A matches.

I also have the same belief as you, that Napoli will win the match, because Napoli on paper that they will win the match easily even though, of course they will face resistance, because Napoli will travel to San Siro where this is the headquarters of Inter Milan,  hopefully Napoli can win this match, because I have prepared money to bet.

Inter was still under napoli at this moment. The bookmakers will always be putting napoli at the most favorite for any match caused by it has not yet lost in serie a compared with another team. There's a new rumour about hazard may potentially to go to the intermilan after he will be leaving from united. Intermilan was not doing so well in serie a caused by it's placed at the fifth positions under lazio with the same points.
You must also accept the truth if the different of points raised by napoli compared with inter can become a good data to said that if inter is nothing compared with lazio. The possibility for inter to win the match will always there but it will not be so big. The match will begin once transfer season already opened. A player like giovani fabbian may contribute a lot to the match against napoli if he will able to play but i doubt that's gonna happening.

Actually it is not the level in terms of players that distinguishes them, but indeed Inter Milan is now in a situation that is not as good as Napoli this season. There are many factors that cause them to look less good which affect their performance in competitions. Napoli are one step ahead at the moment, so it's no wonder that many believe in Napoli to win the match if they meet later. It is normal when you see the state of the two teams.

Against Inter you still won't be able to win easily because even if the opponent is a mediocre team but at least the favorite team will still need a big effort. What's more, this is Inter who will play at home, they even said before that Napoli and Inter are of the same level and therefore, to win a match in a match like this will never be easy for them.
How can you be sure that with the same level of teams but one of these teams will win easily, whether it is a belief that has a solid foundation, or just something based solely on being a fan.

Because if you are a Napoli fan then of course you will easily choose Napoli to win, but if you are neutral then you will still need high consideration and not underestimate your opponent.
Because we also don't know what kind of squad changes will happen after the transfer market, because if the changes in their squad are big enough then of course it will have a significant impact on their performance too.

the difficulty is if Napoli continues to appear consistently throughout the second half of the season. but if Napoli suffers consecutive defeats, including 4 matches ending in defeat and the team under them is able to perform more consistently, then the points gap will be even closer. there are still 23 games left for every team in Serie A so there is still little chance for those who want to get in the title race like inter milan. Apart from that, can you guarantee that Napoli will continue to be consistent in the second half of the season. Napoli will have a busy schedule going forward I think it will hurt their performance in Serie A.

The victory that has been obtained by Napoli this season is through the hard work of the team as a whole and it is not a struggle that they get easily. Because every victory must be passed through difficult challenges by Napoli. So I wouldn't say the results that have been obtained by Napoli are very easy results even though on average Napoli have the ability to get them and continue their positive trend in the follow-up matches after the world cup.

Napoli strength and teamwork are superior to Inter, Napoli won first place in the standings due to the cohesiveness of the team. From the results of the match it can be judged, Napoli is more consistent than Inter. The player material is equally filled with classy players, but Napoli is able to maintain performance by building better connections between players. There is a clear difference between the two, Napoli have proven by outperforming the other favorite teams.

[Falconer]

Everyone seems to be talking about Napoli's performance so far, but I don't think we should forget about the other teams who are both fighting for the best. Even if Napoli are many points ahead of other competitors, I will never underestimate the strength of other teams like Milan, Inter, Juventus and others. Everything is still very likely to change, so don't ignore the others.

Of course I know Napoli is one of the favorites among the others, but I doubt they will be able to maintain a consistent performance until the end of the season. I'm sure the second half of the season will be even tighter, and of course it will be even more interesting to see who will be the best in the end.

no one is forgetting these teams, I'm talking about Milan Juventus and so on. But at the moment Napoli is the team that convinces the most, for how the whole team plays in a perfect and synergistic way.
Leicester won the premier league with normal players (no stars) and a great manager, Ranieri.

Inter are strong as a team, they have strong players.
But as a company it sucks, in fact the players are not cohesive, they are not a real team and they don't play as a team.
The real (historical) problem for Inter is this
It's not a small problem, it's been going on like this for years and years
then lose they get angry and insult who wins

This is a problem that is happening now and must be resolved because indeed they have poor cooperation from a team perspective, but for their individual qualities they still have to be acknowledged.
I agree with what you said because it seems like this problem has always existed since the last few seasons and unfortunately Inter still can't fix this until now which makes it even more difficult for them to navigate the season.

[hahay]

Because every victory must be passed through difficult challenges by Napoli. So I wouldn't say the results that have been obtained by Napoli are very easy results even though on average Napoli have the ability to get them and continue their positive trend in the follow-up matches after the world cup.

Napoli and Inter are the strongest teams in Serie A and even though Inter seem to be of better quality than in previous seasons, the reality is that Inter have never had it easy to beat Napoli either. What's more, this season Napoli's performance is better than Inter so that indeed, Napoli will be the team that is more favored to win.
But the thing that must be remembered at least is that they will not get victory in an easy way, because beating a big team in an away match is also not something easy.

Therefore, if any of them say Inter or Napoli will win easily then that is an assumption which I think will be dangerous or regretful if the results don't go as expected.
But if they say that after the match is over then maybe it doesn't matter because they have also seen the final result and indeed, everyone has their own judgment but still, if it's a big match then neither team can be said or assumed to win easily.

[rendravolt]

I also have the same belief as you, that Napoli will win the match, because Napoli on paper that they will win the match easily even though, of course they will face resistance, because Napoli will travel to San Siro where this is the headquarters of Inter Milan,  hopefully Napoli can win this match, because I have prepared money to bet.

We know that last few seasons Napoli was a complementary team among the previous Serie A champions, Napoli has always been in the top 5 of the standings. But now they are telling all the teams in Serie A that they will not always just be a complement and it is time for Napoli to lift the Scudetto title for the 2022/2023 season. I hope that after the competition resumes they won't suffer too many defeats and will always maintain stable performance between the players this season.

True, the performance of Napoli can't be looked down upon because they are going to be crown champions of the league should the league ends today and cueerrently they are the best-performing team in the Italian league this season and they have been able to maintain an unbeaten run since the beginning of the season till the international break so they deserve to be at the frontline of discussion since they are still the league leaders regardless of the other clubs which are doing well too but the performance of Napoli out ways all the other clubs this season.

The Performance of Napoli players is similar to that of Leicester as you clearly stated when they last won the league you could see the zeal to score goals and win matches in every game and the players are given their all in every Napoli game just to secure the 3 points to keep the winning run and keep the points ahead of other league contenders.

Inter Milan still have good chances to win against Napoli at home. They have been taken out of their rhythm from a few weeks ago, they would have preferred to continue playing. And Giroud is always in shape for AC Milan, I expect that AC Milan will certainly get closer. Napoli still need to get a setback to make it exciting in the competition. But Napoli's focus will also be on the CL, just like Inter Milan and AC Milan, both of which are also active in Europe.

Apart from Inter Milan, maybe I would say that all clubs still have a chance to stop Napoli. Yes, so far Napoli has not had a club that can beat them, apart from Liverpool in the Champions League group stage. But that doesn't mean that Napoli won't be beaten this season, the opportunity is still very open for any club other than Inter Milan.
The season is still very long, and even now we are not past the first half of the season. Competition will be even more interesting if Napoli can lose points in Serie A later. The first thing that must be done to beat Napoli is that they must first lift morale and also play even better after this World Cup break.
