Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[shinratensei_]

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.

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.

I hope that napoli's performance will be recovering again. I don't wanna see that napoli will get lose streak once napoli one step closed to the scudetto caused by napoli was able making very big gaps to the second position. Napoli must also think about how to be consistent again. Spalletti has a lot of home work to make sure napoli will not be approached by another team. Napoli has so many advantage over another team like ac milan. I hope that napoli can use the golden opportunity to make the gap even bigger. Losing 4-1 against LOSC was a big shame for napoli

Napoli team lost the second friendly game in a row and this time against lille, even if its a friendly game it seems there is a problem that need fixing, when the serie A resume there is an important game for them and its a crucial one if they perform this poorly they will certainly lose to inter, but still so far they did an amazing job especially after changing many players and most of them are inexperienced and did not play in such high level before.

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.

First match after international break should be utilized by Juventus to earn 3 points from their opponent and Cremonese is weak team and this team still struggle to gets their first winning on Serie A so they are not hard to beated especially Cremonese defense is so weak and my prediction is Juventus will more likely to win with big scores from this match however i can see positive condition on Juventus that since October they gets many of winning streaks even on friendly matches Juventus can able to beat their opponents with unbeatable status so they performance can be threaten Napoli for race title

Juventus played their first match back after the World Cup break. They secured a 1-0 victory, but their performance will make it difficult for them to beat the bigger teams For which they should add some good players to the team.

Napoli lost 4-1 which is bad for their team, although the match was a friendly then a victory in this match would have boosted the confidence of all the players in the team. Which greatly encouraged the players in the subsequent matches.

yes we know, but it was a friendly match
As a coach, I would make crazy experiments in friendlies, things you can't try in the league
or during a cup
that would be crazy

In fact, I wouldn't worry about that

[keyscore44]

Milan's 2 friendlies still haven't gone well against the 2 english giants and their third friendly game will be against the Eredivisie giants hopefully there will be a real change for that, as this could be important especially they also have to find a balance for the game against Salernitana. even though they are superior, seeing the quality of their current game they still have many gaps that are easy for opponents to penetrate.

For the top team, Milan is indeed the worst in defense so far they have conceded 15 goals the coach must find a solution to this and look for a new defender in the upcoming transfer window. In the near future I believe Juventus will take over the 2nd place because recently Juventus have been playing well and slowly finding their best performance.

I think their financial situation didn't allow for this which made it a bit difficult for Milan.
The mistakes of several previous officials in managing their money still had quite a big impact until now and it was difficult for them to get past.
But indeed, if they continue like this, of course it will be even more difficult for them to navigate the season, especially now that their heavy burden is the defending champions.

Inter Milan lost their first match after the World Cup break. I personally never expected this defeat. Interminable had put in a great performance before the World Cup which was expected to win the match easily, but they fell short. Hopefully they will come back great for the next match after correcting the mistakes of this match.

Cremonese is not a strong opponent for Juventus if we look at the overall statistics, so they should have an easy win in this clash. Yes, let's be realistic, who would predict that Cremonese will get points against Juventus, unless they have a lot of luck in this match. Even so, Juventus must remain careful, because this will be one of the opportunities for them to keep their distance from the team that is above them at the moment.

I'm also not too worried, friendly matches are just an attempt by Spalletti to find another strategy, if Napoli loses it's normal at there. The match against Inter in January will be an important match for Napoli to at least get one point, better get three points for away from Milan. I believe Spalletti can definitely think of a way to not lose.

Napoli's friendly match against Lille shouldn't be taken too seriously. I saw it to be a chance taken by Luciano Spalletti to test his second eleven and you will agree with me  that such risk is worth taking in a match like that . From analysis, seven key players were reserved , giving room to the best of other players . In the midfield (Elmas, Ndombele, Stanislav) , in the defense (Juan Jesus, Mario Rul and ostigard) were all reserved... Though Lille won the match, I don't think spalleti was wrong in his decision.

Friendly match result is not really important trough Napoli squat not completed yet with several player not back from their national team after World Cup, honestly two friendly matches loss from Villareal and Lille can't make Napoli have underperformance in Serie A begin two weeks later.

Serie A will start two weeks later or January 5 and Napoli still have enough time how recovering and back to top performance, actually I don't think bad achievement in friendly matches have bad impact for Napoli in Serie A after having consistency performance from 15 matches.
From all Serie A participants team, Napoli become the only one team still unbeaten.

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.

Indeed this game is definitely going to be a hard nut to crack for Juventus because Napoli are in an excellent form,and they aren't thinking of dropping points at the moment.I know Juventus just picked form recently and we're doing well before the world cup,but who knows,whether the world cup might have affected some of their players recently which will make them drop form,thesame thing to Napoli.
The both teams should come into this game expecting a tough match or a draw from that game.Despite the fact that Juve will be at home,I see Napoli to either win them or draw that game.

Losing in a friendly game isn't bad for any team, it is better to lose in a friendly game than to lose in a competitive game, so Napoli would not care about this defeat to Lille, it means nothing. Napoli are already filled with confidence because of how they have played so far this season, winning games and scoring many goals, i am sure the players would be ready once the league games start again, what they have achieved so far is enough to boost their confidence. Napoli have been so good that everyone is now looking for something that may possibly cause their form to drop, but this loss to Lille isn't it, and i expect them to increase the advantage they have at the top of the seria a, and win the league with many matches remaining.

Maybe they kept their strength, so they lost this match. I agree with you, that a friendly match cannot be used as a benchmark that they have decreased. From the match entitled "friendship" we have also assessed what this match meant. I also often see that big teams can lose their friendly matches, especially on the tour they do, they even lose to a team from a country they visit on that tour. So don't be surprised if a team that is considered strong can lose a friendly match.

[judas]

I think Inter are one of the numbered teams in the league which can cause trouble for Napoli. Because their strength in offense has been really impressive until now. They have had serious issues in defense though but hopefully Inzaghi will create a solution for that. I don't know how strong Lukaku would return after seeing his bad performance at Belgium. But even if he doesn't play well the rest of the team can still be productive just as they have done so far in the absence of him.

I don't want to be seen like I'm favouring Inter for the title or something like that. I'd also like to see a different champion like Napoli. However if they finish the season early by opening the gap even more in a short time then the league would be a little boring in the remaining weeks to me.

Napoli's difficulties in the test match made Napoli only get goals in extra time, of course that made a bad record for them, where Napoli is a club above the LOSC club, this is unacceptable considering that the competitive season will start again, considering that Napoli is at the top of the Sire A League this season, if that continues to happen then Napoli will likely lose their position at the top of the standings.

Maybe spalletti was trying something different against LOSC. I hope that spalletti will not even do that in the match against intermilan. I saw the line up and there would be no a lot of change from napoli. Some main players were still playing at that match.
That makes napoli may become under rated team or mentally affected due to the friendly match. I think that even when napoli plays with new formation by spalletti and it might not lose against LOSC
Im sure that it was affecting the mentality from players even though that would not be so harsh.

I'm happy Napoli lost against Lille. Because Napoli has been defeated by a huge margin in this match. And by being defeated, they realized their mistakes very well. The teams got a long break for the World Cup. So the bonding between team players may have weakened a bit. In the midst of losing this match, Napoli's coach was able to identify the weaknesses of his team. And I think they can correct their mistakes and strengthen themselves before the start of the season. Napoli will not lose the top spot in Serie A so quickly.

Anyone can disturb Napoli's concentration in playing, not only Inter Milan, AC Milan and Juventus also have the same opportunity to put pressure on Napoli, so that their concentration can be disturbed and slip in the next few matches. This will actually look more attractive in the race for the Scudetto for the 2022-2023 season. However, Nopoli's consistency seems to be dominant enough that several strong clubs really need to be able to suppress them.

Inter Milan won big wins in every game in the first half of the season, at least in almost all the games they played they were always able to score two or more goals. This means that they have no problems in attacking positions, but what needs to be evaluated is the defense and midfield sectors, because in my opinion these two positions are still a problem for Inter Milan.

I think friendly matches cannot be used as a benchmark to increase their morale because after all, friendly matches are just matches to try different strategies with different players. That is, when they return to play for matches in Serie A then of course Napoli will play the main players, so of course the results will be different too.
If friendly matches can get them to win a title, then of course they will also continue to play as they should.

Because with this friendly match, of course, it can be an arena for young players or reserve players to show their quality, but if they are still having trouble getting good results then of course these second tier players will find it difficult to get a place to play in official tournaments.
So yes, friendly matches for me, whatever results they get, it still won't affect their performance to then play in official competitions in Serie A and also the Champions League and other official tournaments. Because even when they play in official competitions like the Coppa Italia, sometimes they only play second-tier players, so there are always differences in the composition of the players and also the strategy applied.

Unknowingly this is a defeat that several clubs in Serie A might want, Napoli has started to falter and it seems that several Serie A clubs will be ready to destroy their winning streak. If Napoli doesn't immediately improve the performance of the players, this will be an opportunity for their opponents to steal points when the league season has restarted.
