Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[bering]

The last thing you want is to get your good players injured in a friendly match. Roma and Mourinho are unlucky in this regard. Lorenzo Pellegrini is an important name. It has a structure that directs offensive organizations. For Roma, the injury is a significant loss. I hope he gets better soon and takes his place in the team. In Serie A, while there is already an important race for the top positions, it is a nightmare for the teams to get injured.

I don't know how bad the injury is, but I might miss the next few games. Lorenzo Pellegrini picked up an ankle injury in a friendly and will be assessed tomorrow morning according to the source.

Lorenzo Pellegrini suffers ankle injury in Casa Pia friendly

I think Mourinho will be worried about this injury, but let's hope it's not too bad. Roma will face Bologna in early January, so there is still time for his recovery.

This is not new for Lorenzo Pellegrini because during playing for Roma he has injured history several times even Pellegrini never playing for whole matches in a season because for each years Pellegrini always be got injured but indeed mostly it was not bad injured because usually he can recover for 1 month or less and i think Mourinho shouldn't too worried about his condition if Pellegrini cannot be played because Mourinho have a player who very suitable to replace his position Dybala and after bringing Argentina to get world cup trophy Dybala will return to Roma in the good shape so this is good because he can help Roma to performing well even i have to say if Dybala played he can able to performing better compared to Pellegrini

Truthfully I can't say that I'm tired of seeing Inter and Milan becoming the champions. Because these teams both won one title each recently after a very long break. It was a 11-year break for both teams which sounds really horrifying. Because in the meantime Juventus were dominating the league with their championships. I can comfortably say that I was tired of seeing them winning the league title over and over again every season. Finally in these years, we have started to see different teams winning this title.

First Inter later Milan and in this season it is most likely Napoli. I would love to see the competition level for the title to be increased of course. But to do so, Napoli need to keep a bad form for some weeks and one of their closest followers must take advantage of that. Technically Milan are the closest but we never know. For example Inter are the second most scoring team so maybe they can use this potential in favour of themselves as of now.

This Italian league is probably one of the most competitive leagues in the world right now. Almost all the teams are very competitive and almost all the teams in the top six have a very reasonable chance of winning the title. And there is no chance of this league being one-sided at all.

Inter will have to keep scoring consistently and also try to defend better. They will have a really high chance of getting closer to the first team on the table. Milan is the closest, but I'm not sure they can continue to perform well. They have been a bit inconsistent.

We have to see first the results of the match later in January, the 5th 2023, namely Inter vs Napoli. If Inter succeeds in beating Napoli in that match. then most likely Inter will continue to crawl up slowly or quickly. But the difference in points between Napoli and Inter is very far. Napoli 41 points and Inter 30 points. it will be very difficult for any team to surpass Napoli's points. especially if Napoli continues to maintain its unbeaten record.

[hahay]

Giroud still has the chance to play in Serie-A, but the physical factor that is easily affected by injury makes Giroud have to be careful when playing. if there is an accident on the field, as was the case with Ibra, Giroud will take longer to recover since the age factor and the frequency with injured history so far. However, if he manages to protect himself from potential tackles or body charges that injure him, I think Milan have the chance to play Giroud longer.

Giroud's performance during the World Cup was quite impressive. He scored 4 goals to help France be in the final. But unfortunately, he only got 40 minutes of time in the final because France failed to develop their game. It's true as you said, Giroud still has the chance to play at Milan for a little longer, he's still good as a striker.

Age will indeed affect his physique and fitness, it will also affect his performance. But this season, Milan can expect him to play at a great level until the end of the season.

Yes, it's a little unbelievable with Giroud who is 36 years old but still very prolific in scoring goals, even at the World Cup event Giroud is still very prolific in scoring goals and that is an achievement for him. Not only that, in fact at Milan Giroud is also only one goal different from Rafael Leao who has 6 goals as Milan's best scorer so far this season for Rafael Leao.
With this very close difference, of course Milan can still play Giroud a lot longer.

Considering that Giroud's contract will end in 2023, but with such great performance and contribution, it is possible that Giroud will still have a new contract for at least the next season.
But yes, it depends on Giroud's own fitness whether in time Giroud is still very fit without receiving serious injuries. Because if even once Giroud was seriously injured or badly injured, then of course that would also be the end of his career.
It will be interesting to look forward to, because who knows and maybe Giroud will retire at the end of this season or will only play until 2023 just to complete the contract he has.

Napoli 41 points and Inter 30 points. it will be very difficult for any team to surpass Napoli's points. especially if Napoli continues to maintain its unbeaten record.

Napoli is physically stronger than Inter Milan, and Napoli's performance this season is quite different from previous seasons because they are vying for the Seria A title.

The points difference between them and Inter has provided the difference because it will take Inter or any other team more hard work and like seven to eight wins before getting in contact if Napoli's performance drops, but if they are still good and in form, they will keep leading until the end of the season.

Inter Milan is an excellent football team. They have taken football very well, all the players in the team are very smart and talented. All players in the Inter Milan team play football with responsibility and always do enough to push their team forward. Looking at the performance of the Inter Milan team, it is clear that they can do better.

[piebeyb]

Since Giroud at AC Milan he has scored five goals in 13 games. he has never scored more than 16 goals in a season and until he moved to AC Milan ahead of the 2021-22 season, he has not started more than 11 games in a season and As a nimble striker who can play anywhere, no one would have thought he as one of the fastest players in the world and milan certainly need his services 

Giroud still has the chance to play in Serie-A, but the physical factor that is easily affected by injury makes Giroud have to be careful when playing. if there is an accident on the field, as was the case with Ibra, Giroud will take longer to recover since the age factor and the frequency with injured history so far. However, if he manages to protect himself from potential tackles or body charges that injure him, I think Milan have the chance to play Giroud longer.

especially his performance when playing for France in the world cup will certainly be an opportunity for Giroud to play with Milan in the next match, I don't think 36 years is an age that looks old maybe physically not too strong if an injury occurs it will take a long time to heal, waiting for the Italian league to start again after the cup the world ends

And actually Napoli has shown its consistent strength not only this season. But since the last season. as in 2015-2016 and 2017-2018 Napoli ranked 2nd in a row. in 2019-2020 ranked 7th and in 2020-2021 ranked 5th. So maybe it's time in 2022-2023 Napoli can be in 1st position until the end. considering the difference in points so far for now. and the opportunities are so big based on the ability of the Napoli players who are really good in every game. I doubt if Napoli suddenly became ugly. Even the current break might actually make Napoli even better. considering that Osimhen Cz has plenty of time to practice and rest. because Napoli did not contribute many of its players to the World Cup.

Age will indeed affect his physique and fitness, it will also affect his performance. But this season, Milan can expect him to play at a great level until the end of the season.

Since he joined AC Milan, he has not given the maximum game for AC Milan. This season he has played 13 matches, creating 5 goals and 3 assists. Actually he can do more than that, but I don't think he's very comfortable playing there. I mean, there hasn't been any chemistry created so optimally that it's disrupting his performance.
He did well in the World Cup, I want to see if he will do better too when he comes back into the team or nothing changes at all.

He was replaced in the 40th minute because France was confused when pressed, so Deschamps took the initiative to include younger players and had pressing against Argentine players, but overall Giroud has given his best for France. For AC Milan, Giroud is still the first choice and he is very much needed as a goal machine for AC milan this season, so there is no doubt for coach Stefano Paoli to always make him a starter in matches.

[laurenB7742]

salernitana vs milan is the opening match of the italian league apart from that there is also sampdoria vs sassoulo which played on the same day, salernitana are not favored to win in the match against milan but they will definitely be very excited because the match will take place at their home. There is no other news that will affect the course of the match.

AC Milan was in very good form before the World Cup break. They are now the second team in the points table. I think Milan will win the opening match against Salernitana. But Milan must play carefully. AC Milan did not win the last away match against Salernitana. The match ended in a 2-2 draw. And so if Milan does not play carefully there is a possibility of losing points in this match
Sassuolo vs Sampdoria match result is difficult to predict. Both teams are weak. Sampdoria's performance has been very poor this season. Out of 15 matches, they have probably won only one. So I don't think they will win against Sassuolo. The match will be a draw or Sassuolo will win.

it is true that milan was in the best form before the world cup took place but currently milan is having a nightmare because their mainstay goalkeeper maignan has not yet recovered, many people attribute france's defeat to argentina because maignan did not play. So far he is a very good goalkeeper and Milan will be confused by this.

Mike Maignan is the main goalkeeper of AC Milan. AC Milan will surely miss him. However, Mike Maignan's absence does not seem to have affected Milan's performance too much. Milan's defense is not weak. Hopefully they won't concede too many goals. AC Milan's performance will continue if the midfield and attacking players perform well. So the Milan coach's main aim after the break should be to strengthen his attack. And if the attack is strong, Milan will be able to keep their position in the points table unchanged.

[KTChampions]

Roma team are the team that needs most improvements  among the top teams their recent performance is really poor they didn't win in the last three serie A games and in the friendlies they can't even beat weaker opponents they need some new players in all positions but especially in the defence and midfield.

I don't think Roma is that bad. In the end, even despite recent setbacks, they are not far behind second place. Do you practically want them to be on equal footing with the tournament favorites? But this was initially unrealistic, since they do not have such a strong team composition.
The bad thing is that now Roma will be under additional pressure from the departure of Mourinho, who seems to be leaving the club in the summer to lead the Portuguese national team.

Yes, this will be one of the matches that if Inter Milan wins then it will give other clubs not only Inter Milan an opportunity to get even closer to Napoli. In this case, if it's Inter Milan, the one who will benefit the most is that AC Milan is the closest club to them now, moreover AC Milan also has an easier opponent than Napoli. AC Milan will face Salernitana in their first match after the World Cup. On paper, AC Milan should be the winner in this match to be closer to Napoli.
Honestly it would be more interesting if Napoli lost this match because that would make the competition even more intense. And also AC milan and Juventus won their matches and closed themselves in the standings.

So far Giroud has also performed well in Serie A, Giroud has scored 9 goals in Serie A and the Champions League so Giroud is still an important player in Stefano Pioli squad. indeed his contract will expire in 2023 but various rumors circulating Ac milan will ensure that he will offer a new contract for Giroud, maybe for the next 1 season in a new contract that Giroud will receive which is believed to be carried out after he returns to the team.

Stefano pioli will take Ac milan to face selernitana in the 16th match of the season. This seems to be an easy match to test the consistency of the players after a long holiday.

Roma had a good start to the season. But they could not maintain consistency. And now they are seventh in the points table. They have managed to win only one of the last 5 matches. But if Mourinho leaves the team, then I think Roma's performance will decline even more. Because, a new coach needs a lot of time to stabilize the team. The new coach needs to adapt to the team's players, and then develop a stable match plan. It is quite time-consuming. So if the coach changes, it will be difficult for Roma to qualify for the Champions League.

I doubt if Napoli suddenly became ugly. Even the current break might actually make Napoli even better. considering that Osimhen Cz has plenty of time to practice and rest. because Napoli did not contribute many of its players to the World Cup.

So, let's also consider that if Napoli can beat Inter on the 5th in January, then this victory will make Napoli even stronger at the top of the Serie A standings. This season is a very different season for Napoli, because it has a bigger chance to be able to win the scudetto if I compare it with previous seasons.
So of course Napoli will try to keep this point gap wide from other competing teams, because if Napoli gets several bad results then that is enough for its position to become very insecure.

So yes, with a number of these factors and also about more players resting at the World Cup yesterday, then of course this is also at least enough to keep them in better condition to continue the season.
But if I consider the final results of the three friendly matches yesterday, then maybe it is a worrying result too if Napoli played as usual yesterday. But if in these three friendly matches Napoli only played just to try some strategies then the results of the three friendly matches yesterday would not have a bad impact on Napoli's further performance either.

But unfortunately, he only got 40 minutes of time in the final because France failed to develop their game. It's true as you said, Giroud still has the chance to play at Milan for a little longer, he's still good as a striker.

we have to respect whatever decision deschamps made at that time even though until now giroud is still very annoyed with him. deschamps claims that what he did was right and he made the substitutions in a timely manner but many observers disagreed with deschamps' decision, The world cup has passed, we can move on from that.

Age will indeed affect his physique and fitness, it will also affect his performance. But this season, Milan can expect him to play at a great level until the end of the season.

if we say he is old then I don't think so, Giroud is currently only 36 years old, and there are still many players at that age who are still very healthy and fit, depending on how he keeps his body fit. I think in 2 to 3 years, Milan can still use Giroud, he is still quite sharp as a striker.

I'm really sure that Napoli will beat Inter on 5th Jan. Napoli this year is absolutely strong and can seriously compete for the title. It would be a beautiful thing, this will be a strange year (world cup won from Argentina that

was team of Maradona and title won from Napoli when the last one was won from Maradona !). Let's see what will happen, as a Napoli supporter, I really hope that !

The last thing you want is to get your good players injured in a friendly match. Roma and Mourinho are unlucky in this regard. Lorenzo Pellegrini is an important name. It has a structure that directs offensive organizations. For Roma, the injury is a significant loss. I hope he gets better soon and takes his place in the team. In Serie A, while there is already an important race for the top positions, it is a nightmare for the teams to get injured.

Whenever you play a game you take the risk of the player being injured, even if it is injury and you just have to learn to live with it. Mourinho as a great manager who has managed so many big clubs should be realizing that you need to accept your situation and move on when something like this happens.

It's football, even if you are PSG then you could lose Neymar and Mbappe at the same time for example, these things happens and you need to be ready for it. I think they are not working to win the title anyway so it shouldn't be that hard. Their aim should be top four and as long as they keep this up they may reach and stay there until the end of the season.

Roma don't have a team that can fight for the Scudetto, there is a lot of competition in the top five positions, they are certainly working on a long-term project with the club and in my opinion they will try to qualify for the next Champions League, however As for the management of the injured, you're absolutely right

[SirLancelot]

This Italian league is probably one of the most competitive leagues in the world right now. Almost all the teams are very competitive and almost all the teams in the top six have a very reasonable chance of winning the title. And there is no chance of this league being one-sided at all.

Inter will have to keep scoring consistently and also try to defend better. They will have a really high chance of getting closer to the first team on the table. Milan is the closest, but I'm not sure they can continue to perform well. They have been a bit inconsistent.

Here I agree with you because I am also watching this all after EPL Serie A is one of the most entertaining league in UEFA, but sadly lack of aggression is having some bad impact with few off the field issues are also creating mess up which needs to be ended and if they are able to settle these issues then surely they can compete with EPL even they can take back their glorious days back when Italian League was one of the most competitive leagues in around the world.

Right now, we have nearly six or seven teams which are having quality and skilled players which are doing good job and have interesting competition for the title until end of the season now after the break how things will work this could be another interesting prospect of this league because now Juventus and Inter are also ready for the challenging Napoli and AC Milan.
