Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Docnaster]

Relegation zone seems boring this season, the three teams at the bottom are doing poorly and the closest team to them are spezia with 6 points difference its a big gap for teams unable to win to overcome, and all of them will have tough games in the next rounds so no changes expected on the bottom of the table at least for a while.

What is surprising at this time is that Verona continues to sink to the bottom of the standings and most likely go to Serie B even though if you look at the previous season they have always been able to perform well and continue to be in the middle of the standings. But this season is very different for Verona, 15 matches just one win, and 2 draws made them crumble at the bottom and their defense this season is the worst defense for Verona when compared to the previous few seasons.

The club is currently undergoing an internal problem. the condition of the team is not tied around the player's Performance only. The club's strength was much upon players like Giovanni Simeone, Mateo Cancellieri, and Gianluca Capriari who were sold out before the beginning of this season, and this left the club at this detrimental stage. Even with that, the club is still at the edge of selling out one of the best defenders; Josh Doic. These I think are all as a result of financial constraints.

Inter: 2.28  Napoli: 3.15

The current odds of these teams for the win are like this now. If I'm not wrong Inter's odd has increased by a little. I'm not surprised as they are going to be facing the leader in the end. We all are aware of Napoli's unbelievable performance until this point. However Inter are still keeping their favourite condition because of being dominant against Napoli in the head-to-head games. But it is still too difficult to trust a side to bet on. If I choose one of them of course my choice would be Napoli as they have been more reliable throughout the season.

The chances that Napoli have are very high, and this will be a very good match. On the field, it will definitely be very exciting because these two big teams win.Inter will try their best to beat Napoli, while Napoli will also fight very hard because remember, they are currently top of the table and are always getting wins, so it is a tough task for the Napoli coach.

This will be the toughest game Napoli will face in the league, and their rivals will be expecting them to slip this time around, in history Napoli have not had so many good results against Inter but things could change this time around they are a team that is quite consistent in performances they don't just have the chance to get one point in this match but three, although in my opinion one point is still good because they still maintain the difference in points

This match was eagerly awaited, especially since it took place at the San Siro, it's no wonder that Inter Milan is very favored in this match. I don't have a broad view to evaluate this match, but I would be more than happy if Napoli could keep their win. On the other hand, of course, Inter Milan still needs a win in order to rise to the top 4 positions. The possibility of Napoli winning here is very slim and the possibility of a draw can still occur.

The betting opportunities are huge at Napoli it's tempting to bet on these two clubs, it seems that many people hope that Intermilan can beat in the first match of the Italian league after the world cup break, I'm also one of them hoping Intermilan can take 3 points in the match later

[TopT3ns]

Napoli are a strong team who haven't suffered a defeat yet in this league, but that doesn't mean they are invincible, Inter are very solid and have a strong enough attack, it will certainly be a very tough match for Inter winning remains the only option to be able to get back in the running for the Scudetto. Milan, Juve, and all the other direct competitors are hoping for a victory for Inter, so as to reopen the championship

Inter still have a chance to beat Napoli in the match on January 5, but Inter must try to do their best and try very hard to try to get a win from Napoli because so far Napoli's defense has been very difficult to break through easily. Maybe Inter will just rely on luck, hoping to be on Inter's side.

[Sebas.tian]

Perhaps Inter Milan - Napoli is the most important game of the season where the championship will be decided. There's quite a lot at stake. If Napoli wins, the backlog is almost impossible to make up for. But Inter can also win this match and then the differences will become smaller and Inter can slowly start working on catching up. And teams like AC Milan will also hope that Inter will win this match. But you have not suffered a single defeat in the league, you hardly see that in any competition if you take the rankings into account when you enter the winter break.

I think, Napoli are in a good position to win this match because they have showcased some skills that made them to achieved 41 points from their last matches that made their rank higher than inter Milan in this season. Inter Milan are among the strong teams in this season but it will be difficult for them to stop Napoli not to improve higher in this match, because Napoli strikers are doing well before FIFA world cup competition. I believe, Napoli will defeat Inter Milan 2-1 to improve their points and to maintain the first position to make their fans have hope of winning this Italian league title.

If I consider the head to head results as well I think Inter did not really dominate the win when playing against Napoli, because sometimes Napoli can also beat Inter and also end the match with a draw. Meanwhile at that time at least Inter's performance, quality and squad were still better than Napoli but at that time Napoli were able to provide a good resistance when playing against Inter.
Therefore, while Napoli are clearly in their best form at this moment, I personally really believe that Napoli have a greater chance of winning or at least they will get a draw.

Because even though Inter also have great motivation to stop Napoli from going too far, the reality is that Napoli also certainly has big ambitions to become title winners this season.
With the big ambitions that Napoli also have, of course, Napoli will certainly play with great efforts at least so as not to lose playing at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza. So, it's not only Inter who has great motivation because of course these two teams have the target of getting good results so they will play well in this match.

Inter Milan - Napoli isn't the most important game of the season but an important game of the week because both teams have a good form but Napoli has a better form than Inter. But this is a game where anything can happen and i don't expect a draw in this match one side must win and both sides will score. If Napoli defeats inter their position will stand more secure for them with higher chance of winning the title.

Like you said anything can happen.  You know inter is not a weak team . Inter Milan is capable of playing Napoli a game of draw, if Napoli has being doing well.  Who knows if Napoli can still maintain it good performance now the league have resume back.  The  results of the game is unpredictable.

Some news.

Lukaku should be ready for the big match Inter-Napoli.

Dusan Vlahovic will probably skip the 1st 2 games.

Pogba, Di Maria, Paredes will skip the 1st game.

Maignan also will skip some games.

ouch ouch Lukaku is a very strong player who will certainly do very well and cause pain

those of Napoli would do well to keep an eye on him and under constant pressure and man marking
it's dangerous and if they want to win they have to foresee this

[Distraction]

I'm curious what Juventus will do in the rest of the season. Before the World Cup started, they started to bandage their wounds by starting a solid winning streak in the Serie A. It was like most people were talking about a probability of Allegri to get sacked in the near future after seeing the team performance in the Champions League especially. But Allegri started to increase his credit in the team by focusing on fixing the issues in the Serie A. Now we see them at the 3rd position even if there is a big gap with the leader for the title.

Juventus are lucky about this break also because it was a big opportunity for their injured players to recover. Now not only the fans but also the new board will expect Allegri's team to perform strongly in the Serie A and Europa League both. Otherwise we might start talking about Allegri's future again.

verona's situation is very serious, it doesn't even seem that last season they were a team that caused a lot of problems for all teams, but this season they are at the bottom of the table their next game will be against torino which is always a very problematic team that when playing against all teams they manage to lose points, in their last friendly games torino did well, while verona had a draw and defeat, i know that friendly games should not be taken too seriously, but in this case it helps to have more or less an idea about any change between these two teams

the bookmakers are favoring inter because napoli in these last friendly games lost with some teams like villareal, LOSC and it wasn't just a defeat, napoli conceded a lot of goals, in just 2 games napoli conceded 7 goals, and that's not it's good since napoli had a good defense, of course they are friendly games so it could be that the napoli coach didn't take these games seriously, but the bookmakers are taking that into account because inter did well in the friendly games , inter did not lose in any friendly matches and managed to score many goals in these friendly matches, definitely in the case of inter it is something that should be taken into account

many players have recovered their form and injuries
so juventus is almost a normal team now
she had arrived at a truly dire situation, but luckily she held the shot and started to recover without problems

be careful not to underestimate

It looks like the beginning of a bad end for Verona.  They will struggle to avoid being relegated from Serie A to B, but their job is not easy on this scoreboard.  They only have 5 points and they have to win back to back and find morale.  Serie A is a tough league, I admit, but 5 points is a really bad statistic.  They are at the bottom of the league right now.

Maybe Inter will just rely on luck, hoping to be on Inter's side.

Inter Milan have worse form than Napoli in this season and in recent matches. However they have good players who can have their shows in a good match day and can help Inter Milan to get three points.

Napoli are stronger but they will have to play at the home stadium of Inter Milan. Giuseppe Meazza is not a friendly stadium for guest team like Napoli. They will have play with their best, with more than 100% energy and over performance to beat Inter Milan.

Injuries and suspension cases of Inter Milan and Napoli.
Inter Milan don't have any player misses the match by injuries or suspension.
Napoli have two players will miss this match: Matteo Politano and Amir Rrahmani

In general they will have best squads for the match.

playing at Giuseppe Meazza is never easy for any team, having about 65,000 fans who push the home team makes the opponents feel uncomfortable most of the time, but up front there isn't a small team but Napoli who are leading the league, as far as injuries are concerned, Inter don't have Brozovic at their disposal who is the best midfielder they have in the team, he will play chalanoglu in his place. In any case, I expect a great show in this match

Doubts about Allegri had grown immensely. Since the world cup is being played, the break in the league must have made Allegri happy the most. If we do not mention Napoli's top performance, they are close enough to pass Milan at the moment. We are talking about a difference of only 2 points. Also, Allegri has only 2 defeats in the league and this is an acceptable statistic in my opinion. We all know how difficult Serie A is. I think Allegri will play more successful matches with Juventus.

Verona most likely will being an relegated this season that 5 points from 15 matches makes them as the worse team in Serie A and apparently management decision when makes Salvatore Bocchetti as the next manager to replace Gabrielle Cioffi is very bad decision because Verona under him was performing poor and i was wondering why Verona trust Bocchetti because this manager still lack of experience and after retired as a player on 2021 his status only manager assistant of Igor Tudor on Udinese before and how they have to suffers the consequence from it and upcoming matches for this team will be more hard because on this month they have to faced big teams such as Inter and Udinese

I believe that Napoli is going to want to get all three points from the match against Inter. That is going to get them started in a very positive way. I do not think that they should go for a draw in this match. They have been playing really well and positively till the break.

So, I think they should continue with a positive mindset. Unless they face some big difficulties in the match, they should not go for a draw and they should always go for a win. There is no reason for them to be scared because they have a good amount of lead right now.

.
Napoli has been more consistent than Inter this season, if they still remain consistent it won't be difficult for them to win inter. If inter try to play draw with napoli it will be advantage to other teams that are trying to meet Napoli's point.

If that was for early until middle of season and what you were saying was true but when it comes from middle until the end of season and the answer is not yet known. BTW napoli will be facing intermilan as the first examine to the club to be able to take the scudetto. I personally think that if these days napoli may face decline on its performance. I thought that napoli may also lose against intermilan but it seems like that bookiers were prefer to take inter rather than napoli. Is this a sign for napoli to face its first lose against intermilan? I curious about how good napoli right now compared with the early of season.
We may see the different in the performance from napoli

Yes, Allegri can now breathe a little easier after he was able to return to bringing positive results for Juventus. If he can't show what we see now from Juventus, then he will get more pressure including actually being sacked by management. This long break is a distinct advantage for Allegri because with the long time he has during the break he can use it to find where the weakest point is in his club by conducting an overall evaluation of every match they have played.
Their journey back begins in the next few days, I'd like to see how far Allegri can take advantage of this league break.

Better players according to who though? I mean if they had such a better players then why are they not at the top and Napoli is? If you ask me Napoli has a better team overall, and maybe there could be a few players in Inter that is better than Napoli players, but that's not as a whole team, the others are worse so that on average we are talking about Napoli being better. This is why they are at the top and won't be passed by Inter neither.

I understand that Milan may have a chance, they are closer with 8 point difference which is still 3 losses away and possible because there are so many games to go but I still think that it wouldn't be that easy.
