Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[herurist]

There is a problem I’m going on in the football world which is people tend to hype up very young players too much.

it is normal nowadays.

With the following year's Premier League income equal to 7billions, how can Serie A, Liga(except Real), and Bundesliga can compete in the market?

They can't they need to go and gamble on young players otherwise big sharks will come and eat all (like real paid 70milions fo a 16yo players)

It's like a trend to bring in some young players who actually haven't been able to enter the competition at the senior club but are paid a fantastic price as you mentioned and of course this refers to Madrid
But it is indeed another possibility that this will be educated so that they can develop in a better direction because there are indeed several players who have been recruited from the academy at this time and have even become the backbone. although like that 70 million for a 16 year old is really hard to digest and only a club that doesn't really care about money can do that.

Napoli have a quite tough schedule ahead of them especially for five weeks in the league. There are three big matches in the meantime I mean. These are against Inter (A), Juventus (H) and Roma (H) respectively. They are still advantageous actually because of playing two of those in their home stadium. But there is no guarantee for anything of course. We don't even know how determined they will be by their upcoming match against Inter. I wonder if this break can cause some players to have issues with getting rid of the complacency.

But if we see the same Napoli still then I will be worried about the rest of the teams considering Napoli's potential.

True, they are very demanding matches, it will be a month of fire for Napoli
but if he manages to get through this bad period as a winner, the championship will surely be his and therefore the Scudetto
with all that goes with it
I am confident and in my opinion Napoli will win the Scudetto, my Juventus this year must aim only for the UCL

It is certainly not a race in the competition yet. Keep in mind that we haven't had half of all the matches yet. A lot can happen in many games. Napoli is the absolute favorite to win the title, that's for sure. And the bookmakers are also confident that this will happen. But then you have to think of odds of around 2.20
In principle, that is less than a 50% chance, and teams like AC Milan are also dangerous, as we had last season. Much will be decided in Inter Milan's next game, which will then play at home against Napoli. A so-called 6 points match. I think that game could go either way.

This is decisive for their next match indeed because the initial 3 matches of 2 big matches are clearly a big challenge because if they fail in this case then I think this will be a burden for them from a mental perspective.
But seeing from their condition in the previous 2 friendlies it is clear that this is a bit of a doubt even though on the other side Juventus are also not doing well.

I'd say that it's not a wrong concept at all to go looking for young promises, because you have to pay top players millions and then maybe they don't finalize anything?  And then look now, when it ends in a few years Messi, Ronaldo, etc there will be only Mbappe as the only real top player and I hope this will bring the market to decent prices.

Zidane would cost Juventus too much money even if the rumours turn out to be true. Because before anything else his salary would be really high. Even Graham Potter has signed a huge deal with Chelsea so I can't even imagine Zidane's cost of returning to club management. Aside from his salary, Juventus' current squad wouldn't be enough for Zidane to reach their and his targets with the club. I think they still have serious weaknesses in some positions despite their good form in the Serie A lately.

Zidane would like to make new signings and I don't know if Juventus can spend that much money these days. Because as far as I know their finance is not in good condition now.

if until a few months juventus was immersed in bad results and even then there was no talk of any possibility of Allegri ceasing to be coach of juventus and now that the team is having good results and that Allegri will not leave at all. that's why I think that this possibility of zinade becoming coach of juventus is something impossible even in the long term it would still be something impossible, zidane is a good coach and without a doubt that if he returns to coach a team he will want that team to win the champions league

so zidane will want to coach a team that has a good budget to hire good players that will allow him to achieve his big goals, now it may be that zidane has also become the type of person with less ambition and accepts coach of any team, but since so far he doesn't say anything about being coach again I can continue to assume that he only wants high budget teams in case he returns to coaching

Atalanta have been in a miserable position for many weeks in the league. They have lost so many games in the recent times. I think this break must be enough for them to collect themselves. They have a Spezia game up next and I don't expect any mistakes from Atalanta in this one. There have been some times they lost against smaller teams recently.

However they have a strong lineup to make up for these bad results. They are looking worse than the previous season for now. Because they dropped down from the title race much later in the previous season. But this time maybe the scenario can be the other way around. But I don't know if they can enter any title race even if they improve their game.

At the start of the season they went well and I am very happy with that, but over time their performance has actually decreased and this is not too different from last season even though if you look at their conditions they should be now still quite superior because their main focus is only Serie A .
It would be a shame if Atalanta returned to the same condition as last season even though they are dark horses which, even though they are not too favorite, but they always surprise.

I'm also happy with Atalanta performance at the start of the season, they could be right under Napoli if they consistently win titles, but this team is really disappointing. Against Lazio, Atalanta really didn't move, they couldn't even take a shot on target in that match. Also against Lecce, in that match they were actually still able to get up but unfortunately they were not lucky. There are positive vibes at friendly match against Nice and Real Betis they won by good scores and it looks like Atalanta are back to hunt, I think there's no reason to lose against Spezia.

It's like the modern football investment tend to go for such way.

I mean serie A club seems didn't realize it and rather do the oldschool way by relying on the experienced old players while there is a lot of potential youngster around them that actually could save them from the financial crisis like juventus crisis .

Really surprised to see Napoli lose their first friendly after the World Cup. The match did not show any signs of the kind of excellent performance they had before the World Cup. Hope they will come back in the next match.

In friendly matches, Napoli don't want to bring out their true strength because they know that it doesn't give them an advantage, so in the match against LOSC, they are not too serious and only for normal training, whereas in Serie A League matches, Napoli will show their true strength and make it difficult for opponents to control the defense.

Yeah, they may not be too serious in ding the friendly match. Although actually, this becomes one of the ways to measure their performance after the break during the World Cup. But, Napoli may have different strategies by not performing in top performance or a serious one. One of the reasons may be to avoid players from some injuries. Because if they are facing some injuries, this means that they will find difficulties and problems in the big matches both in the Champions League and also in the Serie A. However we know that Napoli is a consistent club so far. I am sure that although they were lost in the friendly match, they will do their best in the real match by optimizing all lineups to always perform their best consistently.

I hope so but since napoli have been used some of its key players and im also feeling doubt about that. I hope that if that will not true if napoli used the true strength against Losc. I hope that napoli will be fully prepared against intermilan caused by i have chosen napoli to bet on. The problem might be faced by napoli but i hope that napoli can fix it very soon. Napoli must on and prepare everything to be won against intermilan that will be making napoli become even stronger caused by full points from napoli is very important to make sure another team like ac milan can cut the gap become even closer to the napoli. I hope that napoli will be doing so good.

Napoli know they have an important match ahead so they will not take risks when having a friendly match
Yesterday's defeat would not have much impact on them I believe they have prepared everything especially against Inter is an important match
I predict they won't lose, the worst thing that can happen is a draw.

[rendravolt]

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.

Are you talking about those few defeats in friendly matches? I would not even take them into account, since the results of these matches do not reflect the real shape of teams are now. Napoli maintains an 8-point lead over Milan, the advantage is more than confident, and in Serie A, Napoli have a great winning streak, so there is nothing to worry about, so far everything is fine.

Yes, that's what I mean, before in a friendly match Napoli also lost against Villarreal and recently Napoli lost against Lille. Fine, if you have an opinion like that, but can you confidently defend it all? Isn't it better to be careful? It's also necessary to remember that the Serie A competition will start soon and if Napoli don't immediately fix their game, of course it will be very easy to shift their position on the standings board.

I only slightly agree when it is said that Napoli was not serious in facing the test match against Lille. But I worry that when something is not taken seriously it will have a big impact on the team.

The match against Inter Milan can be said to be the determinant of Napoli's journey for the Scudetto, Spalletti must prepare his team as well as possible. Spalletti must realize that other teams in Serie A have also started to improve, which will certainly make it difficult for the Partenopei in the second half of the season.

Yes we know friendly matches are the perfect time to test strategy and players because it is considered without risk even though losing doesn't mean anything, even if they win, it means that the new strategy implemented was successful and ready to use in the Serie A. What is certain is that the upcoming match against Inter will be the real one.

Many people doubt Napoli will scudetto for this session, this same like Arsenal on premier league. but, when talking about Napoli, I do not doubt that they will make a big surprise after the Maradona era 1986-1987 when they got the 1st scudetto. I hope Napoli can hold 8 points until week 28, this also honor to the deceased legend of Maradona, I don't call it mystic, but when we compare it to Argentina winner world cup 1986, it's the same like Napoli 1986 scudetto.

Argetina winner world cup 2022, this is possible also Napoli scudetto in 2022. In this case, there isn't Lionel Messi in Napoli like Maradona.

I hope what you were saying was true about napoli was keeping its performance to face intermilan. that's the only sense thing that i can believe. Napoli may also perform the opposite thing once napoli will face intermilan. If napoli will perform the same thing like it was against LOSC and napoli will on disaster caused by ac milan will be slowly approaching napoli by cutting the gap to be even smaller compared than before, napoli must be careful with ac milan that potentially to come very soon.
Winning against intermilan was a must for napoli if it will wanna try to defend its position to be the number one in searie a

I only slightly agree when it is said that Napoli was not serious in facing the test match against Lille. But I worry that when something is not taken seriously it will have a big impact on the team.

It will not have a big impact on the Napoli team, because the Napoli side is also very aware of that that they are facing a trial match that doesn't need to bring a lot of pressure to the team in the match. After all there are more important matches for Napoli to implement a better focus starting next year.

The match against Inter Milan can be said to be the determinant of Napoli's journey for the Scudetto, Spalletti must prepare his team as well as possible. Spalletti must realize that other teams in Serie A have also started to improve, which will certainly make it difficult for the Partenopei in the second half of the season.

Napoli is clearly aware of this from now on, because Napoli themselves can see how the opposing team is progressing in Serie A at the moment and they are all aiming for more wins this season so they can catch up on the points that Napoli have. And I don't see that game as decisive because Napoli can still be on top of the standings even if they lose that game.

Yes we know friendly matches are the perfect time to test strategy and players because it is considered without risk even though losing doesn't mean anything, even if they win, it means that the new strategy implemented was successful and ready to use in the Serie A. What is certain is that the upcoming match against Inter will be the real one.

Napoli's focus is on the match against Inter Milan, not on a test match, because Napoli can immediately make an evaluation before meeting Inter Milan in a very important match. This season is Napoli's chance to keep going and get the Scudetto by continuing to fight extraordinary.

They have reasons to be doubtful but they are strong enough to be one of strongest candidates for Serie A championship this season. It is not essy to believe in Napoli if we are not their fans and if we knew how they quickluly lost their good performance in early of past season.

Base on history, they have reasons to be doubtful about Napoli ability to win Serie A.

Argetina winner world cup 2022, this is possible also Napoli scudetto in 2022. In this case, there isn't Lionel Messi in Napoli like Maradona.

It can be conincidence but Napoli have to fight to make it become truth. They can not play carelessly and think that they will automatically win Scudetto because it is reserved for them as a present for Diego Maradona.

I think Napoli will be the best team in Italy this season. They play such good soccer, it's worldclass. The last Championship was in 1990, that's 32 years ago. In 2013, 2016, 2018 and 2019 they always finished on the second place. I think this season is theirs. So on 04.01. we will see a very good game: Inter Milan against SSC Napoli. And in the Champions League they will show in February against Eintracht Frankfurt what they can be under the top 4 teams this year.

[Zanab247]

Really surprised to see Napoli lose their first friendly after the World Cup. The match did not show any signs of the kind of excellent performance they had before the World Cup. Hope they will come back in the next match.

In friendly matches, Napoli don't want to bring out their true strength because they know that it doesn't give them an advantage, so in the match against LOSC, they are not too serious and only for normal training, whereas in Serie A League matches, Napoli will show their true strength and make it difficult for opponents to control the defense.

This is a sign that Napoli performance will change negatively in their next game because, their players just relax on 41 points they achieved before the break which there are many teams that was closed to 30 points and, they will surely prepare themselves very well to improve more before the end of the tournament. AC Milan and Inter Milan are very close to take this position from Napoli because they will not take this season easy with any team than to use what will help them to win the trophy.
