Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Ulven]

Lazio also looks the same as going to win the match against Lecce, also so far that match was dominated by Lazio although they were playing at home of Lecce.

I was surprised because Lazio had to lose to Lecce 2-1. I thought this would not be Lazio's defeat because I wanted to continue chasing points while Lecce was in good condition so they could win at home against Lazio.
Lecce was able to reply in the second half, it's just that Lazio could no longer score goals to equalize, let alone win, now they have to accept reality and that Lecce is currently capable of overthrowing a big team.

Obviously, more will be looking forward to the Inter vs Napoli match about the result later.

It's always tough to see your favorite team lose, especially when you weren't expecting it. However, it's important to remember that in sports, anything can happen and no team is unbeatable. it’s a good lesson in humility and a reminder that we should always be prepared for the unexpected. As for the Inter vs Napoli match, it's always exciting to see two talented teams go head to head.it should be an interesting match to watch. Napoli has had a strong offensive game this season, so they will definitely be looking to create scoring opportunities. However, Inter has a solid defense, so it will be interesting to see how they match up against Napoli's attack. it’s always tough to predict the outcome of a soccer match, but it should be a great game no matter what.

It was a quite comfortable game for Milan. The final score shouldn't be misleading. Milan could have scored a few more goals and won the game by a big score difference. Especially Giroud wasted many important goal opportunities. Leao was really impressive today. It was already obvious from his first goal attempt in the first minutes that he was going to do his best for a win. He was one of the most performing players of the day as a result. Milan were dominant in both halves.

Salernitana scored a goal on their first and only shot on target. It was due to being a little complacent in Milan defense. Anyway, this is still an important win for Milan considering there is an Inter - Napoli game ahead.

But taking into account the very good statistics that Milan has in this match, winning with only one goal difference is not a good result for Milan. Although indeed, the most important thing is that they get the three points which is indeed a target, but Milan should have been able to score another goal in the second half and even Milan should have won with clean sheets.
Because if later Milan has the same points as Juventus, then of course Milan will lose in the number of goals because Juventus have so far conceded a small number of goals.

But regarding Juventus who are currently playing against Cremonese, I'm sure Juventus will also be able to win the match. At least this will be the same opponent as the opponent Milan is facing, because the opponents of Milan and Juventus are mediocre teams in today's match.
But so far approaching the end of the first half Juventus still can't score a goal, I'm afraid Juventus will get a stalemate in this match which of course would be very unfortunate if that happened.

[coinlocket$]

0-0 in the first half for Juventus.

Not so many chances created, and a lot of young players, let's hope for the best in the second half.

[ShowOff]

Probably no one doubted Milan's victory. It is very important for them to get points now to compete with the other clubs. For example, Lazio is still playing in a draw with Lecce and is already behind Milan. It will be interesting to see how Juventus play Cremonese. I heard they have squad problems again and if they don't win this game, Milan will have a gap.

Of course it was an important victory for the Milan squad. Milan shouldn't have wasted that day's match, but fortunately they were able to maintain the victory until the end of the match. Now Milan has managed to reduce the gap with Napoli to 5 points, while Napoli still have to win today's match against Inter if they want to keep the distance to 8 points from Milan as before.

I didn't expect Napoli to manage to get 3 points today at the Stadio San Siro, I expected Napoli to lose. But of course it will be difficult to stop Napoli with their current form where they are unbeaten in their last 15 matches. I'm fine if Napoli win, but if they lose then of course it's more fun.

[Jatiluhung]

Cremonese were able to score a goal, but it was cancelled after VAR. Yes, they haven't won a game this season. But so far they've had three shots in 20 minutes and Juventus hasn't been able to hit once. I'd really like Juventus to win this game too, but I have my doubts after starting the match like this.

Actually Cremonese's play was a complete surprise. Because their level seems to be able to match Juventus' performance. But I'm sure in the second half Juventus will do something. at least Juventus must win in this fight. and it would be very surprising if the score remained even until the last minute.

[Docnaster]

Spezia and Atalanta drew today, as well as Torino vs Verona, whose match also ended in a draw. So now Roma are one goal ahead of Bologna and Lecce is one goal behind Lazio who are both in the match. I'm sure that AS Roma will be able to win today's match, as well as Lazio, although other surprises can still occur because the match is still ongoing. What do the observers here think ?

Although it ended in a draw, I'm very disappointed with Atalanta, they should have won this match against Spezia and got three points. Roma playing at home is their advantage so far Bologna is also having trouble attack defense of Roma, but it seems that Roma can win. Lazio also looks the same as going to win the match against Lecce, also so far that match was dominated by Lazio although they were playing at home against Lecce.

It's not bad that it ended in a draw, at least sharing a point is better than losing a whole three points. Though Atalanta needed a win in that match. Now It's a tough fight for Juventus, Inter Milan, Roma, Lazio, and Atalanta as they all have just 2 point difference. It seems Napoli's indomitable run is heading somewhere, and if they have a win against inter milan tonight they will be 8 points ahead of AC Milan, and that will be okay to lead the table.

[Velvet78]

It is quite unexpected to see the Cremonese - Juventus game going on in a quite balanced way. There are still many injured players who couldn't be a part of this game for Juventus. This is a hindrance for them of course but still this is a comfortable game on paper. They just can't reflect their ball possession dominance on the score. We are getting close to the end and it is just helping Cremonese.

We saw some solid players entering the game in the second half but we will see if there will be a winning goal in the last minutes. This shouldn't be the game ending their winning streak.

[LGD2Business]

I was watching the Roma match, but it was so boring that I fell asleep for a while in the second half of the match. Things got very difficult for Bologna as Roma won a penalty early in the game and took the lead. Motta couldn't come up with his game plan to score. Roma can hardly enter the top 5 with this game though.

Now the Juventus match goes similarly. Still no goals in the match. Cremonese is defending well, if they keep this up until the end of the game, they will be happy with the 1 point they will get. They don't have any wins in the league yet, no one expects them to win a game. They have a very limited squad. It's very difficult for them to stay in the league this way.

[Jatiluhung]

A fairly fierce match was shown in the match Fiorentina vs Monza. and the current score is a 1-1 draw. Fiorentina and Monza continued to alternate in attacking and defending. and it's amazing. make the match less boring. while in other matches in Serie A we can also see Juventus still being held to a goalless draw by Cremonese. and recently several opportunities were obtained by Juventus. but still can not be put to good use and has not been a goal.

[Zilon]

But I'm sure in the second half Juventus will do something. at least Juventus must win in this fight. and it would be very surprising if the score remained even until the last minute.

The second half is almost ending and Juventus is still unable to find the back of Cremonese's net. It seems Cremonese are more specialized in playing for a draw because their stat for the season reads 8 draws and 8 losses, this might be one of those draws added to their point for the season. Juventus might have to add this as their 6th draw for the season because it seems Cremonese are very adaptive to their style of play.

yeah right. Even Cremonese is now continuing to build attack after attack. and Juventus played not as usual. for how could they continue to be suppressed by Cremonese attacks. even though Juventus had a chance. but Cremonese quickly immediately made a counterattack that almost broke into the Juventus goal.

and just now Juventus again got a golden opportunity. but not be a goal.

[Hyphen(-)]

We have a few minutes before one of the most anticipated matches in Seria A, a match between league leaders Napoli and Inter Milan on the road.
Many things could happen in this match, including the end of Napoli's unbeaten league run or Napoli beating Inter Milan for the first time since 2020.

Looking at the statistics of their last five matches, Inter Milan won three of them and the remaining two were drawn; these statistics show how Inter Milan has been a better side than Napoli, but this season may be different given how Napoli has been playing; they are the best team in the league, going unbeaten with only two draws.
I believe Napoli will win this match because they are in good form and have a great striker who can score in a variety of ways.

[ingiltere]

and just now Juventus again got a golden opportunity. but not be a goal.

Cremonese should've scored when they found clear positions, what a waste. They could've gotten at least one point from this match. But extra time free-kick goal saved Juventus. They should be thankful to Arkadiusz Milik. If Juventus didn't get 3 points from this match that could hurt their chances. Cremonese is still the only team that don't have any win in 16 weeks.
Now we are waiting for the game of the day. Surely the most important match is Inter vs. Napoli, that will start ten minutes later. While Milan and Juve got 3 points, Napoli should continue their win streak. That will be only first game of their hard fixture coming up.

[snipie]

-snip-

The team that misses opportunities will lose at the end and will regret that. Juve got 3 points and that's important for them.
There is Lazio that surprised me with their defeat against Lecce.. Atalanta draw vs Spezia isn't good for them too. These two teams weren't stable in the previous rounds too along with Udinese which is already 1 goal behind since the 3rd minute vs Empoli

[Z-tight]

Ever since Juventus were eliminated from the champions league they have started to perform better in the Italian league, they didn't start the league good this season, but they are now playing like they should, they are in 3rd position and if not because Napoli have been too good and far ahead, i would have said Juventus are back in the title race. It is possible for Juve to get back in the title race though, but that is if Napoli start to lose or draw games, for now the gap is at 8 points, and Juventus and the other teams chasing down Napoli will be supporting Inter milan to beat Napoli tonight in order to reduce the gap.

[Jatiluhung]

the Napoli vs Inter milan match has entered the 20th minute. and it seems that Napoli really can control the ball more in this match. Inter Milan also had quite a hard time getting into the Napoli defense area. while Napoli continued to build attacks into the Inter Milan defense area. But the match will indeed be very fierce. I still predict a draw from this fight.

[hahay]

Juventus were almost held to a draw by relegation team Cremonese, what's more, Cremonese had a goal in the first half but unfortunately the goal was disallowed for offside. Can't imagine if the goal was passed by the referee it would have two possibilities, Cremonese defended it well or Juventus could respond well too.
But yes, it was lucky that the goal from Cremonese was disallowed and it was lucky that Juventus were able to score a goal in the final minutes before the match ended.

Regardless of the final result of Juventus and currently, the match between Inter v Naapoli is underway and has entered the 25th minute but still no goals have been scored. Even so far Napoli can control the game by mastering ball possession, but even though Napoli can win in ball possession it still does not guarantee Napoli will win.
Because it could be that when Napoli was focused on making an attack, then Inter would counterattack which could have Inter scored first. So yes, because so far they are still drawing 0-0, I might assume that this match will be tough and maybe not many goals will be scored.

Probably no one doubted Milan's victory. It is very important for them to get points now to compete with the other clubs. For example, Lazio is still playing in a draw with Lecce and is already behind Milan. It will be interesting to see how Juventus play Cremonese. I heard they have squad problems again and if they don't win this game, Milan will have a gap.

Ac milan was able to perform better in the match earlier, Stefano Pioli seemed to be able to make his team play more aggressively in the first half because he was immediately able to put pressure on the host through the attacks they built. Leao, as expected, was able to make the hosts lose concentration after he was able to score a goal in the 10th minute. After winning 0-1, AC Milan's game was interesting again and the many opportunities they created so Tonali quickly doubled their advantage until the end of the first half, AC Milan was able to take the lead 0-2. Selertinana tried to play better in the second half after Ac Milan decreased the tempo of the game because they were already 0-2 up but in the end Selertinana was able to score a goal in the 83rd minute through Bonazzoli which in the end this match ended with a score of 1-2 for Ac Milan's victory.

In the Spezia-Atalanta match, Spezia couldn't protect their advantage despite leading 2-0. Atalanta came from behind to score 2 goals and get a draw. For them, this late draw away from home is important.
Torino drew with hellas verona at home. A sad result for Torino. Verona have been defeated for how many games and to get a point away from Torino is a great achievement for them. In the ongoing matches, Lazio are losing 2-1. Roma are now 1-0 up at home.

you're right, Spezia didn't really take advantage of the opportunities when they were leading 2-0, in fact Atalanta played better in this match it's just that their defense was not strong after they focused on attacking and attacking, luck for Atalanta in this match because they were 2 empty behind  able to try well enough to equalize until the end of the match. In my opinion, Atalanta performance has really decreased in their last 5 matches because until Week 16 Atalanta is still difficult to return to the top 4 rankings.

So, in the ongoing match we see Napoli vs Inter Milan, a big match match between the standings leader and the 4th ranked team. I want to see Napoli lose the match so that the competition at the top of the standings will be even more interesting in the upcoming matches.

[Distraction]

Juventus didn't have a good day despite winning the match by 1-0 at the end.

Because they weren't comfortable even a bit during the match. Cremonese performed way beyond the expectations in this one. If their goal wasn't disallowed maybe we were going to be talking about a completely different result. Milik's save was like in the last minutes and this match must be a big lesson for Juventus. They will need to be much better than this next time. Because next time the opponent is Udinese which are a more powerful team than Cremonese. The biggest test is Napoli of course which is right after the Udinese match. Some injured and important players will hopefully be back until then.

[darewaller]

Cremonese should've scored when they found clear positions, what a waste. They could've gotten at least one point from this match. But extra time free-kick goal saved Juventus. They should be thankful to Arkadiusz Milik. If Juventus didn't get 3 points from this match that could hurt their chances. Cremonese is still the only team that don't have any win in 16 weeks.
Now we are waiting for the game of the day. Surely the most important match is Inter vs. Napoli, that will start ten minutes later. While Milan and Juve got 3 points, Napoli should continue their win streak. That will be only first game of their hard fixture coming up.

Cremonese not able to convert their vital chance but Injury time goal from Milik give vital win, and now they are having fifth match with clean sheet which is impressive for them specially after break things looking good because now situation is clear for them in league table for having spot into top four currently Napoli is playing against Inter and AC Milan won their match against Salernitana which allow them two points gape from Juventus and strong hold on their second spot six points behind leaders Napoli.

Lazio also lost his match against Lecce which is clearly indicating now they have to stay out of top four Roma also won their match and now having same points like Lazio but here Lazio is ahead of them just because of goal difference.
