Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[lalabotax]

Even though it was a test match, the defeat suffered by Napoli must also be an important record for Spalletti. The World Cup break could have had a big effect on them, because their consistency had to stop due to a long holiday.

I agree with you. Indeed, although this is a friendly match and this will not influence much, losing in the friendly match will be big notice for the team especially the coach to make some evaluations. This is one of the advantages of the friendly match that are done so far. But, of course, the result may be different for exact matches that will be held later in the real matches. After the World Cup, I am sure that Napoli will do much more seriously again.

Serie A is one of the most interesting leagues commonly the competitions are so tight. But now, Napoli really leads the league by having many gaps of points to the other clubs. They are almost perfect, never been beaten so far. Hopefully, they will always be consistent and win this league. They really deserve the trophy if seeing the performance so far.

Juventus taking a new length to determine their level in the present situation. It's been really a rough season for Allegeri but the old lady's are picking their form with outstanding injured players. The old lady's will pull up a new form this reopening season, they have what it takes to claim the scudetto this season. The fans are grateful that their keyplayers are returning from long term injuries and will soon be fit for Seria A games.It is believed that when everyone is back and fully fit,they will be able to embark on a long run winning streak that will move them to top four on the league table.

I think Juventus is also one of the big threats for Napoli to win the title this season in a friendly match. Napoli lost even though they didn't play with their best players, but that makes speculation that Napoli can be beaten, especially since the two of them will meet Napoli and Juventus in the first half of next year.

It seems like that napoli has been losing twotimes on the friendly matches which were not good at all. The fact that if napoli may even lose some key players and i think that's gonna be a very problem for napoli. Will inter beat napoli easily?

If Napoli lose the match against Inter Milan, of course they will lose points and make the clubs below them like Juventus and Acmilan able to reduce the points gap in the standings this season, maybe it's a friendly match that is not too serious for them to face but with a losing score like that as if it looks like Napoli is easy to beat 

A bit surprised that napoli can lose that easy against unpopular team like that. I meant it doesn't make sense to see that while napoli has been winning 13 matches in a row on serie a. Is it a part of napoli's strategy to show how bad quality of its team now while it has not yet used all of its power in the friendly match? I don't think so but that might become the most sense reason why napoli got beaten by the teal like lille. I hope that napoli can back again to the right track.

I think because this is only a friendly match, Napoli are not too serious or are trying their new strategy, but I am sure that the results in this friendly match will not affect their game when they start the Serie A competition.
before their key players left the Napoli team were still strong candidates to win the Scudetto this season and they will remain consistent to achieve positive results in Serie A, I think so because the player material they have is quite good in all its lines and the Chemestry of Napoli's players is quite strong .

I hope so but let's see what's gonna be the result against intermilan. If the napoli already used all of its resources in the friendly match and intermilan can defeat it easily. I hope that napoli was not serious in the friendly match. Inter might be surprised if such strategy was even exist.
That will be a shame if napoli already used all of its strength against mediocre team and lose against it.

I think Juventus is also one of the big threats for Napoli to win the title this season

It is not only Juventus that is a threat, there are so many others like Ac milan, inter milan, Lazio and even Atalanta, the level of competition in the seria a is very high, and it has been that way in the last 3 seasons. But even if there are many threats to Napoli for the scudetto, Napoli are in a very comfortable position, they have 41 points, and the closest team to them being Ac milan has only 33 points, it is a good advantage that Napoli has over the other teams and i don't feel they will lose their current position.

I agree with you, Juventus has all it takes to get back to the top of the table most assuredly because of the recovery of their key players. It will be nice to have Marley Ake, Mattia De Sciglio, Paul Pogba, and Dusan Vlahovic all return to the team, as this will add more to their strength. Though the team will be missing Weston McKenzie and Samuel Iling, in their clash with standard liege. I believe Allegri already has a remedy for that. But the challenging part of the whole matter is seeing Napoli step down so easily.

[Velvet78]

Juventus have Cremonese and Udinese games before facing their biggest opponent in the league which is Napoli. I think they can win both of the first two games and maintain their existing winning streak in the league. They will need these wins to stay stronger against Napoli in Turin. Despite its being a home game for Juventus their job is still very difficult there.

We don't know yet how strong Napoli will be able to return to the league. If they maintain their usual performance then Juventus could be in a big trouble against them. But I still hope to see a competitive game considering Juventus' amazing form recently.

[Rengga Jati]

Milan have a good opportunity ahead of them to close up the gap with Napoli. Because their opponent is Salernitana while Inter and Napoli are facing each other on the same week. Milan shouldn't underestimate their opponent of course.

Although Milan may win from Salernitana and Napoli is probably lost from Inter, their point gap is still quite far. Between 33 - 41, needs more matches to be closed. Although yes, 3 points additional will be good progress for Milan to make a closer gap. Napoli will also have a tough match with Juventus in some matches later. This will be probably hard for the club. But, as long as they can be more consistent and strong enough without any different changes of their main first players, I am sure that Napoli can maintain the standing and increase the point. Inter is actually a string team, but they are more likely inconsistent with their performance. That is why they are now at 5th only. Although we know that sometimes, Inter is able to perform very excellently if facing a string club.

Juventus is slowly regrouping and injuries are o most over but i think that their troubles are still there. They now have management problems and this is another issue that needs resolving. Napoli for me if something crazy dosent happen the apsolute favorite for the title

I was also a little surprised by the results of the friendly match between Napoli and LOSC. losing 1-4 to LOSC really seems like an odd thing I guess. because it is impossible for Napoli's performance to drop that drastically. So I think Napoli are just testing their new strategy. and it seems that it is not going well. But it is true that doubts cannot be avoided when looking at the results of the match. But because it wasn't a serious match. so I hope that Napoli will still be consistent in the actual match against Inter.

Im not sure if napoli was just testing the strategy caused by after seeing the starting line up and i can see that some key players like osimhen has been playing since the start of game. I do know how bad the history of spalletti in intermilan and roma. It seems like that inconsistency has become the main problem for napoli very soon. Im thinking about the bookmakers were also taking the result from spalletti when he was coaching intermilan and roma in the past.
He was always consistent at the early season until mid season but the team under him will always be loosing consistency from mid until the end of season. Will napoli get opposite result?

If Napoli's performance continues like this, I believe Juventus will be hard to catch up in the 1st position, As we can see in the standing now, the different points are many gaps, 10 points. and not only Napoli. Juventus will face defending champion, Milan also. Another problem is Management, President and CEO just resign which needs time to make it solid between management and the team.

Napoli's Performance was good since the beginning of the season and there are chances of them putting up more good performances because the team has not experienced any injury crisis even though they had less participants in the world cup that just ended. For a team like Juventus to get closer to Napoli in gap and position this season, I don't think is possible unless they go all the way to beat Milan and other opponents and also hope that Napoli will not win matches because that's the only way for them to catch up with Napoli this season and also the recent happening in the Juventus management will affect the team unless they act fast in bringing a replacement for the vacant position in the club.

Jose Mourinho is one of the best coach I have seen in football and he always win trophies for any team he's made manager. In the past, he have managed top clubs in his career and he's always on the move to make both shocking move and big transfer budget. He's discipline and doesn't make room for mistakes, always consistent in persuading his goals or targets for his club. He's currently managing AS Roma and they did very well in the early starts of the season, but don't know why the sudden losing streak and losing more points to their opponents. I believe Mourinho will bring the team back to their heels with additional signings in the January transfer market.

Mourinho was a great coach, his achievements are truly impressive, but his time has passed, in our time the world is changing very quickly and you need to be able to adapt, but he does not want to do this because he is sure that his strategy is the best. To some extent, he is right if he managed to win so many awards with her help, but he sees that now there are no such results, it doesn’t matter in a top club with the best players, or in Roma, but his defense game is no longer working, now it's time for attacking football.

Yes, of course, what happens is that you can't make an attacking strategy when you don't have good material, but I think that if you hit CR7 or Messi he can focus on attack, so much so that everyone will say that Mou forgot about defense and That's his strategy, so sometimes things in football don't add up as they are, for me experience does everything, without going too far, that's how the Spanish coach did with the Spain team, he took almost everything a Barcelona where they lost and he was removed from being the technical director of Spain, leaving a team like that is not the right way, so you can't be very up-to-date and invent when you don't have material, the same thing happens to Roma.

Juventus taking a new length to determine their level in the present situation. It's been really a rough season for Allegeri but the old lady's are picking their form with outstanding injured players. The old lady's will pull up a new form this reopening season, they have what it takes to claim the scudetto this season. The fans are grateful that their keyplayers are returning from long term injuries and will soon be fit for Seria A games.It is believed that when everyone is back and fully fit,they will be able to embark on a long run winning streak that will move them to top four on the league table.

Juventus will face defending champion, Milan also. Another problem is Management, President and CEO just resign which needs time to make it solid between management and the team.

Well, we all know that Juve is a team that has a lot of history, and if 10 points might seem like a lot, but something must be taken into account, Napoli are planning to sell players, which is very good for Juve and very bad for him. Napoli, I see the advantage that Napoli now has as something very fictitious (if they sell their players) it is very difficult to have a team project if you take your players out and you have no choice but to improvise with the new ones that arrive and if They are not attached to the team, that is a lot more work, a job that is not pleasant, so I am curious how things will develop in Serie A.

Foot Mercato are reporting that SCO Angers midfielder Azzedine Ounahi (22) is prioritising a move to Serie A, with Napoli in pole position in pole position to land the Moroccan international. 

Ounahi shone at the World Cup with the Atlas Lions, leaving clubs across Europe coveting the Angers player. The Ligue 1 club, currently rock-bottom of the French top-flight, and managerless, are seemingly resigned to losing the player. L’Équipe have previously linked Premier League side Leicester City with a move, with a fee of €45m being discussed.

Hopefully Napoli doesn't sleep around in the second half, the break should have seen alot of the players resting and recovering well, especially those that left for the world Cup.
I want to see them winning the Seria A at all cost and they've paid the price in the first half, can they just put in double of what they did last half, if they sure do that, winning the league ain't no biggie.

They shouldn't focus on other big clubs like Juventus and AC Milan but just take every single game one after the other. It's good too see how they've rebuffed ideas and talks of selling them best player's.

Selling thise players will reduce the chances they have of winning the Seria A. Iw wouldn't advice them to sell but bring in winners that can help them for the boost for the Seria A.

It seems that of all the matches that will be held in Week 16, only the Napoli vs Inter match is the most talked about. Meanwhile, other matches, such as Milan vs. Salernitana, Roma vs. Bologna, and Juventus vs. Cremonese, were not much talked about. maybe because we think that the opponents that will be faced by Milan, Roma and Juventus don't seem too favored. and we probably almost all agree that in that match Juventus, Milan and Roma will be far superior. But because this Season has just restarted after a break. I hope we are all not caught off guard by the possible surprises that are about to happen.

[Zanab247]

I think Juventus is also one of the big threats for Napoli to win the title this season

It is not only Juventus that is a threat, there are so many others like Ac milan, inter milan, Lazio and even Atalanta, the level of competition in the seria a is very high, and it has been that way in the last 3 seasons. But even if there are many threats to Napoli for the scudetto, Napoli are in a very comfortable position, they have 41 points, and the closest team to them being Ac milan has only 33 points, it is a good advantage that Napoli has over the other teams and i don't feel they will lose their current position.

I guess, Napoli will surely maintain this gap between them and AC Milan till they achieve success from this tournament because, their squads are well organized to use any tactics to remain on top of this Italian league competition table. They were able to secured 41 points to lead other teams before the break which they have the opportunity to improve more not to allow any team to take over the first position from them.

[Pandu Geddon]

It seems that of all the matches that will be held in Week 16, only the Napoli vs Inter match is the most talked about.

it's because Napoli is top of the table and Inter is now starting to play better. This is a match for the two teams who are at the top of the standings. of course, there will be more of them talking about it. Moreover, this is the first match after a long break. maybe Napoli will lose points in this match. Inter of course needs more points to catch up at this time.

[hd49728]

Hopefully Napoli doesn't sleep around in the second half, the break should have seen alot of the players resting and recovering well, especially those that left for the world Cup.

They don't fall asleep but succeed or fail to continue their form in a first half of season is unsure.

I want to see them winning the Seria A at all cost and they've paid the price in the first half, can they just put in double of what they did last half, if they sure do that, winning the league ain't no biggie.

I want to see a new champions for Serie A too. After 9 years under Juventus domination, in the past two seasons, Inter Milan and AC Milan won two Scudettos. Will this season be for Napoli?
In the last pages, I saw we're discussing a lot about Napoli and their challenge, change in Serie A. Let's return to discussion about Juventus. Any news about Juventus after many people retired from their positions weeks ago during World Cup 2022?

[masulum]

Juventus have hot rumor today, from local media in my country, some of them reported if Zidane will become Juventus coach. As we know, Allegri success bring Juventus to the top 3 after bad performance at the beginning. And now, if this rumor is true, its mean Allegri is not safe, he need to bring Juventus to get another scudetto for Juve, if he failed, maybe next season we will see he will getting sacked.

I don't find any news about possibility of Zidane to Juventus, anyone have more article about this? The only article I found is Footbal-Italia.net, but there just mentioned if Juventus one of Zidane options.

[DanWalker]

Friendy games don't mean anything for teams. It only helps them gain match fitness, that's all. Napoli would never lost to Lille by an embarrassing score like that in an official game considering their general performance in this season so far. You can be sure of that. Players don't take friendly games very seriously and we see ridiculous scores like this one as a result. I don't think even Napoli supporters care about this result much. They must be all focused on their Inter game up next in the Serie A which is in two weeks.
Inter have been very dominant in home games against Napoli in the league for nearly six years. Napoli can't defeat them there since April 30, 2017. Inter can keep up this nice work in fact. Because their attacking strength has been very impressive so far. If they come back with a stronger defense that must be enough for them not to lose this one.

Even though it was a test match, the defeat suffered by Napoli must also be an important record for Spalletti. The World Cup break could have had a big effect on them, because their consistency had to stop due to a long holiday. The first match against Inter Milan will certainly be a benchmark for Napoli's strength in the second half of the season. But the point advantage they get is of course not too worrying, but if they lose against Inter and then also lose to Juventus, then the chance to win the Scudetto is very threatened. What is clear is that Napoli's test will be more severe in the second half of the season.

People should start understanding that friendly matches does not mean anything. At least not in the club competition. So everyone should stop thinking about the results of club competitions so much. Of course, Napoli did not take this seriously. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have lost like that.

Napoli is going to play Inter in the next match. Inter is not an easy opponent. But Napoli is also playing well in the league. I think they are going to play far better in that match against Inter. Because they’re going to take that match seriously. I know that Napoli does not have a good record against Inter. But this time I think that records are not going to determine the results.
