Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[lizarder]

As the host for Inter Milan, they should be able to beat Napoli because for me this is a perfectly balanced match, it's just that Napoli will definitely defend as a challenger for the Scudetto title, the dominance of the two will be quite strong if Napoli really lose this match, there is a possibility that other teams can beat it too and clearly with a point difference it will be closer to other teams, even now it is quite far from Inter Milan in points.

Maybe this will be the hope of other teams, if Juventus are able to conquer too, then the chances are wider to approach Napoli and the hunt for the scudetto in the second half will be even tighter later.

In my understanding of the many matches I have participated in, the host (home) is not a benchmark for winning in European football, because many of the results we have seen do not help much. Inter Milan has the chance to beat Napoli in week 16 because this is the first match in the second half of the season. But if it's hard to beat, a draw will be good capital for Inter Milan, even though Napoli's dominance is still quite strong at the moment. The competition would be very intense in the second half of the season, so they had to make a lot of preparations before the games took place.

However, Simone Inzaghi intends to break Napoli's unbeaten dominance in front of the Nerazzurri fans this season, as a first step to disrupt Napoli's concentration in the race for the Scudetto title next season. If Napoli slips in this match, then the chances of defeat will haunt them in the next match.

After experiencing a bad period at the start of the season, Juventus have now been able to get back on the right track. Allegri, who was rumored to be sacked for failing to improve the team's performance, has also been able to answer the doubts of many parties. I think the Bianconeri will be very difficult to stop if they find their rhythm. Cremonese is clearly not a match for the Old Lady, the three points will go to Allegri's men. The most awaited match is when Juventus face Napoli, this match can be proof for Juventus to destroy Napoli's smooth path and raise hope to win the Scudetto.

Juventus' performance is very stable now. They are consistently playing well. But their squad is still not strong enough. There are still many weaknesses in their performance. The performance of their attacking players is not good. If the attack is strong, maybe Juventus' performance will be stronger. Juventus management must try to get an experienced striker in the next winter transfer.

One more thing, Juventus players must not think about the problems they are facing now. Because if they do, maybe they will lose focus and their performance will drop again like at the start of the season. Their first game is an opportunity for them to get back to 3 points considering that their opponent is not a team that can be said to be tough. It would be very disappointing if they failed to get full points in this game.

It's impossible for the players not to think about the incident that happened at the Juventus council, surely they are a little worried if FIFA gives heavy sanctions. therefore I'm not sure juventus will perform better in the second half of the season, on allegri side maybe he also carried quite a heavy burden in his work in the second half of the season because the change of new directors will of course be accompanied by new regulations and new demands  against allegri to be able to bring Juventus to be strong again in Serie A. So it's no wonder that this season the Scudetto will belong to Napoli or Ac Milan because these two teams are better than Juventus. juventus has many star players in their squad but the chaos that has occurred will hamper their performance this season.

[Velvet78]

allegri is even very safe in the juventus coaching chair, even the club president and ranks resigned in the last month but allegri position is still quite safe. maybe if allegri fails to make juventus finish in the top 4 this season his position as coach of juventus is in serious danger of being sacked. but previously juventus is currently managed by new president Maurizio Scanavino who was appointed recently after Andrea Agnelli resigned from his position. Meanwhile, Juventus will hold a big meeting or meeting to appoint new directors on January 18, 2023. The situation at Juventus is indeed very chaotic.

Interestingly I couldn't see many news sources talking about Juventus' appointing a new president.    It's good for them then to do this quickly otherwise the crisis might have got bigger than ever.

There is still no guarantee that they will get better from now on of course. Until the date you have given, they just need to focus on their game by the end of the break. Juventus have had a really good winning streak so far. They shouldn't lose this momentum easily. Otherwise I can't even imagine how much more the players would be down mentally.

[coinlocket$]

It's quite unfortunate for Juventus that many players who were given long-term contracts due to their outstanding performance in the former season are now in retrogression. They no more play up to the expected standard. The likes of Daniele Rugani, Weston McKennie, Juan Cuadrado, and Alex Sandro, were the flag-bearers of the team but now they are offering little or nothing when included in the squad. I think a particular arm of the team needs a complete overhaul. I'll suggest the attack, or midfield.

Mckennie is rumored to leave the club in the next winter's session.

Cuadrado and AlexSandro are at the end of their contract in June and I hope they don't have the crazy idea of renew them year by year.

Jose Mourinho was targeted because he was considered a coach who made AS Roma not on a good track now. Even though he managed to present a trophy, sooner or later there will be a lot of pressure for AS Roma management to immediately fire Jose Mourinho because he is considered not to have done anything good. Indeed this will be a consequence of a coach, if it is good then keep it, and if it is bad then they will be fired immediately.
This is an opportunity for Jose Mourinho to restore the team's self-confidence by winning this game, otherwise sharp criticism will be heard for him.

In the last few seasons, Roma have not been able to qualify for the Champions League after last in the 2017/2018 season. I think Mourinho's job will be even better if Roma have more quality players. Roma need to invest in a few players so that the improvement of the team can be expected, but if they don't then of course Roma will always be in the top 6 every season.

Although the criticism was directed at Mourinho, I think now Roma are better than before. In the last 15 matches Roma were able to win 8 matches, draw 3 and lose 4 times, and this is also a pretty good performance. But of course people expect something better to compete at the top of the standings.

But it's a shame that Rome only has standards for buying players according to the budget while investing in quality players requires as much budget as possible because they can't afford it so they can't do it, and only the task on Mourinho becomes big if you want to compete with other teams in Serie A are in The top 4 in the standings are quite difficult for Rome to get champions league tickets.

It's still quite successful for Mourinho with 8 wins over 15 matches, but indeed the demands of his fans are to compete even tougher, whereas in my opinion, Mourinho's strategy is not like before, to be able to compete with top teams.

I don't argue the fact his won European Major Competition and trophies but then lately, the tactics Jose Mourinho has used from Manchester United, to Tottenham Hotspur and now to As Roma has all been outdated tactics.
Football has really moved from what it use to be and those defending tactics can not beat good attacking side's like Real Madrid, Manchester City, Barcelona and others like Bayern Munich and Paris Saint Germany.

I was busy tipping Jose Mourinho to win the Seria A but with this same outdated pattern and strategies I'm certain he'll not a single one with it.
It was impressive he won last season the Conference League but the European League and Seria A, the Portuguese has to do more than defending.

In Italy budget is extremely important and if you don't have a huge budget you cannot compete with top teams which have a huge one.You can place the burden on Mourinho but that is not going to work,I think in fact Mourinho gave them the Europa Conference League title which is a huge achievement for them especially after Italy having so many seasons without a European title.

However Roma don't stand a chance I am afraid this year to go and be in the top 4,they should be happy with a Europa League place during this season and that is the maximum they can do considering that the competition for the top 4 places is tough and those teams there have better budget than Roma.

Milan are the most comfortable team on the upcoming match week compared to Napoli and Inter especially. Salernitana matchup is like a gift for Milan to catch up with Napoli in the standings. Milan would hope for seeing a draw at the end of the Inter - Napoli match I assume. However Milan still should be careful with their game against their opponent. They shouldn't underrate Salernitana even for once otherwise they would be under the danger of losing points in such a comfortable match normally.

The reason why I'm saying these is that Salernitana are not the same with the previous season. They have looked stronger so far. They have already got half amount of points they had in the previous season. As this match is in their stadium as well they would do their best to steal a point from one of their most challenging opponents in front of their supporters.

salernitana is indeed an easy opponent for Ac milan in week 16 of matches this season, Ac milan can take advantage of the weaknesses of opponents who are less consistent in serie A this season. Full points were Stefano Pioli target to reduce the points behind Napoli. I saw the statistics, indeed AC Milan won 2 wins and 1 draw in 3 matches against Salernitana. with the results of the second meeting, I think ac milan has a big enough chance to win this fight. Salernitana has swallowed 6 defeats this season and for the time being they are ranked 12th in the standings.

I am more interested in watching the Napoli vs Inter Milan match because this is a big match which will be an assessment of the performance of the two teams after the long holiday.

Napoli is eight points ahead of Milan. After Milan play Salernitana they have Roma next, which is a very difficult fixture for both teams. Then after that they face Torino who can be a lot of trouble sometimes. So they're not going to have an easy run too.

Napoli have a more difficult first 3 games anyway but they're in a better position and better form than Milan so I won't be surprised if they win both Inter and Juventus (they'll face Juve after Sampdoria who are in a very bad form at the moment, they're 19th on the table)
I believe Napoli can win the league if they continue with the form they were in before the world cup break.

[herurist]

That is very clear, because just being the host doesn't mean that Salernitana will be very favored in that match. Moreover, the opponent is AC Milan, which is currently in second place in the standings so it is clear that AC Milan is the favorite to win in that match and AC Milan itself also sees the match as an opportunity to get full points so that it can continue to follow Napoli's points which are currently in at the top of the Serie A standings this season.

But in this match even though Milan is the favorite but still in this case they won't be able to win easily.
Their current condition in attack is not going very well so this is quite difficult even though the opponent is Salernitana who incidentally is not too favorite in this match.
I think even if they win in the end it will only be a narrow win for Milan even if it could be a draw even in the first game after the break.

Inter Milan's players are showing great skill and driving their team forward. And in a little while they have their next match. All Inter Milan players have already returned to training. They are planning very well for the next match, hopefully we will see a great Inter Milan in the next match.

I think you have to read more context because what I'm talking about now is not Inter Milan but AC Milan who will face Salernitana in their opening match after the long holiday.
I have no words for Inter right now even though they also actually have a lot of gaps that need to be fixed because the focus is still on AC Milan right now who is having a little trouble with his condition.

Facing the Salernitana won't be so easy for Milan, even if it's a very easy game for Milan on paper, they have to take into account injuries and few alternatives in the attack department. Salernitana plays well and is not afraid of the big teams, already shown against Juventus. For AC Milan, unfortunately, losing could be fatal and seeing the disadvantage stretch even further! on the other hand, however, there is a big match Inter vs Napoli and I think milan will be rooting for the cousins ​​of inter

[martyns]

I agree with you guys And even overall actually Juventus is very good this season even though the start was a little bad. they only suffered 2 defeats from a total of 15 matches this season. Even in the match against Cremonese I don't think it will be a tough challenge for Juventus. and I'm sure Juventus can get full points.

Even though Cremonese is playing at home, Juventus will still be the favourites. After their last defeat to Milan, Juventus have actually improved and managed to win all matches for Serie A. It is hoped that Juventus will be able to maintain this good form against Cremonese in the next match, and the chances of victory for Juventus are certainly higher.

I'm sure Juventus will win and it looks like there are no surprises we can expect. Meanwhile, I think Milan is also very likely to get full points against Salernitana. Milan must avoid defeat and keep closer to Napoli, but if Milan lose then it is very likely that they will be overtaken by Juventus, who are currently 2 points apart.

Juventus started improving towards the last part of this year before the world cup started.They saw that their form was too poor,and had to increase in their performance which has brought them this far.Napoli are the team I choose this season to be very close to winning their league when it comes to consistency and and team balance.They seem complete in all the wings, that is why they have been scoring more goals in each of the games they play.
The transfer window is at the corner,and it's up to the teams to decide on signing players that will help them do well in the league,or forget signings and remain at the position they are.

According to MilanNews, AC Milan will face Salernitana without Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who is continuing his recovery programme, and Alessandro Florenzi, who is back on the pitch only for a jog in Dubai.

However, what worries fans the most is the situation regarding Mike Maignan.

The French AC Milan keeper has not recovered from the calf problem that has kept him out since mid-September and will undergo further tests in the next few hours, so he could miss the trip to Salerno. milan must win in this match because if they lose points then juventus will get rid of them in second place in the standings

[TopT3ns]

I believe Napoli can win the league if they continue with the form they were in before the world cup break.

Players from Napoli have not participated in this year's World Cup so much that their strength has not diminished much, so this should be a good opportunity for Napoli so that they get another win in the next match, which will be on January 5th and which will be against Inter as the first match of 2023.

It was impressive he won last season the Conference League but the European League and Seria A, the Portuguese has to do more than defending.

He successfully did such counter attacking tactic famous back in 2010 when he bring inter milan won the champions league in that style making opponents in anger and then a sudden all out attack coming from behind and destroy every team he faced that time , he can't bring back those great memories.

As roma need a fresh tactical maestro with some stars that currently joined in , hopeless mou cant be really relied on.

Why does AC Milan need to feel afraid to face Salernitana?
Although there are some players injured, AC Milan still has enough players to defeat Salernitana.
We all know that Salernitana current performance looks bad, they never win in the last 3 matches. Even, Salernitana was defeated by Monza with 3 goals. So, I am pretty sure that AC Milan will win easily against Salernitana. They will get 3 points and maintain the position in 2nd place.

Although the criticism was directed at Mourinho, I think now Roma are better than before. In the last 15 matches Roma were able to win 8 matches, draw 3 and lose 4 times, and this is also a pretty good performance. But of course people expect something better to compete at the top of the standings.

But it's a shame that Rome only has standards for buying players according to the budget while investing in quality players requires as much budget as possible because they can't afford it so they can't do it, and only the task on Mourinho becomes big if you want to compete with other teams in Serie A are in The top 4 in the standings are quite difficult for Rome to get champions league tickets.

Roma doesn't have a big budget and they haven't been able to hire good players that have cheap prices in the market, I heard on TV that Mourinho was saying that Roma is not a team capable of competing against big teams and becoming champions so Mourinho wanted that the board could get a budget capable of making Mourinho able to buy good players

in the attack against roma there is Tammy Abraham and there is dybala but as dybala was injured they will be out of the field, but even when dybala was playing the attack of roma was still a mediocre attack, i don't know if that reason is culture of midfielders but the fact is that it is It's difficult to understand why Roma is not performing well because they have good quality players, something in Mourinho's formation and strategy is failing. in defense, which was their main strong area, it has also started to fail, and it is a situation that mourinho needs to resolve so that next season roma starts fighting for the title

[Velvet78]

I'm still negative about Roma and will continue to be as well. Because as long as Mourinho continues to use the same old boring strategies there is no way this team are having a much better season than the last one. Currently it is like there is nothing changed for this team comparing to the previous season. They are still losing so many points and staying behind many big teams in the standings.

Obviously Roma need a substantial change in their game plan. They need to have a more attacking focused game rather than a cautious one.
