Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[JeffBrad12]

With their first 3 matches after quite a long break now this could actually be a problem because 2 of the 3 matches that will be taking place are big matches. Their first game will be away to Inter and this will be troublesome and their third match will be no less troublesome because they will host Juventus.
This is a real test for their consistency and this can be a reference whether they can still do consistency or not.

Inter odds are bigger than Napoli in this match. Maybe the home effects might be considered, yet Napoli should not be underestimated imo.
Juve and Roma games in January are important to know if Napoli could continue leading alone or let the other teams catch them!
The positive points in case of Napoli defeats are that Milan has hard games too, Juve are easier in January overall.

I think the odds are logic considering that inter will play home but i don't really think this will affect Napoli, this team is absolutely unstoppable this year and it's very hard to every team to beat them, personally i believe the winning chance will be 50/50 % and this will be a very interesting match to watch

Playing at home was giving a small advantage to the intermilan but the result gonna be determine by the mentality from players. I can't deny that if playing at home will be boosting morale from inter's player and i think that bookmakers was giving too small odds for inter, i think that even bookies gave small odds but the gap shall not be so big like that. Playing at home meant nothing if intermilan didn't have good mentality to beat napoli. Napoli itself will be coming with full power after whole of players have been taking long holiday after world cup. I guess that if napoli will not be missing the best opportunity to make full points from intermilan. This gonna be a pretty interesting match for sure.

Inter odds are bigger than Napoli in this match. Maybe the home effects might be considered, yet Napoli should not be underestimated imo.

Maybe because Internazionale is often to Scudetto which makes the odds is bigger, but still people still have sure Napoli will not have a problem in san Siro. Because on paper, Napoli seems to look good as a material player, and with performance, I do not doubt choosing Napoli even draw is a bigger chance for this time. And, Napoli also hasn't pressure about points, because different points is far enough if they lost or draw.

[X-ray]

Milan are going to have one of the opening games of the upcoming match week. It is against Salernitana and it is an easy work for them on paper. But they need to be aware throughout the game not for letting their opponent make a surprise. Salernitana are better than the previous season now so they would play fearlessly home against Milan as well I assume.

I shall remind you that salernitana was at the 12th positions which mean it;s not possible for salernitana to win against ac milan without rely on its luck. Even if salernitana has been doing better than previous season but the chance to win against ac milan is very small at this moment. Salernitana might give ac milan a tough game but it doesn't mean salernitana will be defeating ac milan.

If Milan win this without problem then they can wait for the Inter - Napoli game very comfortably. A draw at the end of it would be the best for Milan in my opinion.

I don't even think milan will be facing any difficulties against salernitana. I meant salernitana was a bad team now. Ac milan will be winning easily against it. It doesn't make sense if ac milan would be losing against salernitana. Ac milan may able to destroy it and take full points easily.

Inter odds are bigger than Napoli in this match. Maybe the home effects might be considered, yet Napoli should not be underestimated imo.

It is a match at Giuseppe Meazza stadium, a home stadium of Inter. I guess the odds is taken from the home stadium effect.

Maybe because Internazionale is often to Scudetto which makes the odds is bigger, but still people still have sure Napoli will not have a problem in san Siro. Because on paper, Napoli seems to look good as a material player, and with performance, I do not doubt choosing Napoli even draw is a bigger chance for this time. And, Napoli also hasn't pressure about points, because different points is far enough if they lost or draw.

Inter Milan have better tradition than Napoli. Much better as they are a second successful club in Serie A, only after Juventus at 1st position and AC Milan are at 3rd position.

Wiki about Serie A gives us good images on top clubs in Serie A. You would be surprise to see these details, Napoli are a fourth club that have most runner-ups in Serie A history after Juventus (21), Inter Milan and AC Milan  (16) and AS Roma (14). Napoli have played 77 seasons in Serie A.

Total seasons play in Serie A

No, they have to compete healthily in every match, why does there have to be a bad smell from the teams below to be able to beat Napoli. Napoli are a great team this season and their opponent in the first week after the world cup break is inter milan. Inter milan can beat Napoli if they know their opponent's weaknesses. Napoli will make various efforts to be able to maintain their consistency in every game.

Competition will remain healthy between one team and another, and rightly so. I also don't mean to say every team will try to beat Napoli just to keep them from winning the Scudetto, but it is part of the competition where they beat each other to get maximum points. Just like in other top league, each team will try to get maximum points regardless of their position.

strong competition will occur throughout the match even Ac milan could be removed by juventus if they are unable to maintain good performance. Inter milan is still struggling to get back into the top 4 and their tough test must be able to beat Napoli in the upcoming match.

Exactly, Milan and every other team always has the potential to lose points if they are unable to maintain their performance. But I think every top team will try their best to maintain their position in the top 4 and compete to be the best in the top standing. Napoli have a tough challenge because Inter wants to improve their position to the top 4, while Milan and Juventus will certainly try to take advantage of Napoli or Inter's losses from that match.

But they need to be aware throughout the game not for letting their opponent make a surprise.

Salernitana did have a better performance than last season, but that won't cover the fact that we will get that they will certainly lose to AC Milan. The best result that can be made by Salernatina is probably a draw, just like they did in their last meeting.

My prediction for this match is that AC Milan will win but not with that big score because Salernitana will play more defensively. Salernitana 0 - 2 AC Milan or Salernitana 1 - 2 AC Milan don't seem bad.

Bookies were seeing the impact from playing at san siro will give a lot of pressure to the napoli. that's why napoli is getting bigger odds compared with intermilan. The result from friendly match has been making some people feel doubt with intermilan.
I was taking the advantage by the odds that given to napoli. i will pick napoli over intermilan even though if that was playing at san siro. i don;t even think if playing at inter's home will be greatly affecting the performance from napoli.
The only thing that can be a good aspect to think napoli may play underperform was the result from friendly match. The friendly match was giving us a clue about how good or bad performance from napoli

[rozak]

Since the start of the season, Napoli have played extraordinary, but this is a different situation. After a long break, it is believed that changes will occur, especially after a friendly match where Napoli played less than optimally.
Betting on Napoli in this match is quite risky but anything is still very possible to happen.
this is a match that will be very fierce, I think it is difficult to choose a bet on one of the teams, but after I have considered it, I think it is more appropriate to bet on this match, is to take a goal over, seeing that both teams have great potential to score goals against each other.

after the world cup break, most teams played friendly matches to restore the squad mentality. Napoli did, despite the disappointing result. but in the Serie A match, now Napoli is the leader in the standings.
facing Inter is not an easy match for Napoli. but they can hold Inter. Inter just had a trial run with Sassuolo. with Inter winning 0-1.
what Inter has shown hasn't looked very good. but their chances of winning this match are bigger than Napoli's. A fight like this is hard to place a bet on. maybe I'll miss it.

I don't feel the situation has changed or is different, a friendly match is so different from a competitive one, even if Napoli lost to Lille in a friendly match, it does not mean anything much to them and they will carry on in the seria a as they did before the world cup. The world cup break was not a long one, it was just for one month, so i don't feel there will be too many changes, as long as players aren't injured they will perform as they did before the world cup. I know Napoli have been too good this season, and seria a fans are waiting for a period that they will lose games, i don't think that period is now, it may probably be when they have won the league with some matches remaining to play.

As far as I know Napoli is a team whose players don't participate much in the World Cup so it's quite agreeable with you there will be no change in their appearance, doubts that Napoli will experience a drop in appearance or won't be able to maintain appearances until the end of the season are very understandable considering they did that last season , but this season I'm sure they are better prepared and there will be no repetition of last season, this is the time for a team other than Inter AC Milan and Juventus to win this season.

anyone who hopes Napoli loses is not a healthy fan, they are a toxic fan
let's remember that we pay for the ticket to see good and fun games
not to see our beloved team win
napoli made me have more fun than my beloved Atalanta, so credit to them and I hope they win the scudetto

I am not a milan supporter but I will be betting on milan in their first game after the world cup break, it looks like Charles De Ketelaere could be his first start as a striker for AC Milan against Salernitana in the first match in Serie A after the 2022 World Cup. La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Olivier Giroud will be back training at Milanello tomorrow alongside Theo Hernandez, having been on holiday since the World Cup final defeat to Argentina.

In the next few days, Stefano Pioli and his staff will evaluate their condition and then decide whether or not to start from the first minute against Salernitana. If Giroud starts on the bench, the striker spot will be entrusted to Charles De Ketelaere against Salernitana according to the Italian outlet, given that Divock Origi and Zlatan Ibrahimovic are both injured. I think Milan also doesn't want to lose points from this match because they are already 8 points behind Napoli to shift at the top of the standings

We will not know how bad or good napoli now without even seeing the match against the big team like intermilan. People might feel disappointed with the result that already achieved by napoli but i think that just caused by the friendly match and it doesn't mean napoli was losing all of its credibility. Napoli is still holding win streak and it's still not yet losing in serie a. Inter milan didn't have choice other than beating it. I think that napoli may break all of bad opinions about the team by losing with LOSC in the friendly match. I hope that napoli will be winning the match. That will make napoli even in a better position.

Last season, if I'm not mistaken, Milan failed to win against Salernitana. At that time AC Milan almost suffered defeat, when Salernitana players managed to change the position with a score of 2-1, Milan was lucky because Milan managed to score goal (2-2). This is a reminder for AC Milan to pay attention to every movement of the Salernitana players. Good ball possession does not guarantee victory, therefore Pioli and AC Milan players must be able to take advantage of every attack to score goals. Because one mistake can making points gap far away from Napoli, ifthey can win against Inter Milan.

The fact that Napoli have lost a lot of friendly games may even turn out to be good for them. If they continued to win, they could believe that they are invincible and they will get everything easily. After bad results, such illusions dissipate and it helps the team to play at full strength. Given the fact that these friendly games do not affect the standings in any way, Napoli are in the black no matter how you look at it.

[bering]

Lose from Salernitana and Juventus in Serie A even eliminate on europa league this proven Lazio in the poor performance period and actually Lazio has strong defense before but i don't know why lately seems Lazio has failed to performing well and losing many points and on standings league too their position were threaten by Inter which is has same points with them so if Lazio slipped then possibly Inter will overtake their position but for upcoming match they have an advantages because only faced mediocre team Lecce and i know Lecce in the good shape after ended their poor results with gets 3 consecutive without lose but i think Lazio has capability to win the match so i am confident they will beat Lecce later

Defeat in a friendly match will increase the confidence of the Napoli players to improve their quality in official matches, they are increasingly aware that they can still be beaten. The defeat in a friendly match gave Napoli a lesson. When they started the match in Serie A after the break, they were able to improve their performance, especially since the opponents they were facing were not just any team. Napoli will have an away match at the Giuseppe Meazza, Inter will not allow Napoli to take away three points at home, especially since Inter is trying to get into the top four.
