Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[blue Snow]

consistently it seems that Napoli always play well in every game, but sometimes a football club doesn't always win always, in this half of the season Napoli must maintain their playing style in order to remain consistent to win the Italian league this season, Napoli's next match will play against Sampdoria and can make up for yesterday's defeat

Napoli seems lost mentally champion from Inter. We know they will face tough challenges from a big club that have mentally champion like Inter, Juve and Milan. This is not easy to keep them on 1st top, I agree if they play consistently, Napoli will get what have they dream, but we know Napoli last scudetto about 32 years ago most likely they have forget how to defend it as a champion this season, slip will happen on the last week if lost and can't play consistently.

Saturday 7th January
Fiorentina 14:00 Sassuolo
Juventus 17:00 Udinese

Fiorentina - Sassuolo is challenging with a slight advantage for Fiorentina imo.
Juve - Udinese isn't easy too except the bad performance shown by Udinese in the previous games. That's why Juve has an advantage.

Sunday 8th January
Lazio 14:00 Empoli
Sampdoria 17:00 Napoli
AC Milan 19:45 Roma

Lazio and Napoli are not expected to lose again. Milan - Roma is very interesting with a clear advantage for Milan since they are playing home. Napoli will be pleased if Roma could beat them and they catch up the 3 points gap they lost last round..

@blue snow despite the loss Napoli yet has a decent lead, and if they continue winning matches then it’ll be really difficult for other team’s to catch up to them. Furthermore I thought that Roma would finish in the top 4 this season, but currently it looks like that they won’t finish in the top 4 however does anyone here feels that they’ll yet make it to top 4 by the time this season end's?.

Napoli didn't have a good attack to make the goal against napoli. I think that napoli shall have been trying to identify which thing that has become the main problem.
As far as i know that if napoli didn't wanna try to did self reminder after getting some bad results from the friendly match. Napoli was in a big trouble right now caused by once napoli will be losing again in the upcoming matches and ac milan will be potentially to follow it or even surpassed it at the end of season. Ac milan has been cutting the gaps become even closer. This gives a very big pressure to the napoli. I think that napoli's players will be playing under pressure since the next match

Maybe mentality is one of the reasons especially when they play away and finally Napoli got its first defeat but Napoli is still safe in the standings
Now we can see the competition between the top 2, 3 and 4 my attention is on Juventus who consistently get that winning streak
I wouldn't be surprised if at the end they take 2nd place or become Napoli main competitor.

I was lucky not to place a bet on this match, from the start I had doubts that Napoli could easily face Inter at the San Siro. btw, it's good if Napoli loses against inter so they can strengthen their mentality even more for the matches that might happen in the future.

[Strongkored]

It's time for Napoli to get back on their track after losing the big match against Inter Milan.
In their next match they will only face a weak team, namely Sampdoria, being able to win with a big score is highly expected, especially if the Napoli goalkeeper can keep the net safe from goals.

In week 17's match, the big match will take place between AC Milan vs AS Roma, although this can be considered a big match because seeing the position of the two teams in the standings but the odds on the bookmakers are very much in favor for AC Milan to win in this match, and I predict AC Milan will win in this match because even though AS Roma is quite good in rankings, they often have difficulty winning against strong teams.

the poor results from the friendly match that Napoli carried out after the World Cup break, seemed to have an impact on their game. but against Inter it was quite difficult. although Inter wasn't that good either. but they want to rise and show that they too are part of the trophy hunt.
I think Roma will also take part in this struggle, and Napoli is currently being chased by big clubs. if Napoli doesn't improve their performance soon, this could be Milan's chance to take the podium.

I agree maybe mentality was one of the reasons why they lost this game. What we saw last season was that they couldn't keep their hopes up in the race for the championship so they were easily knocked out of competition by AC Minal and also Inter Milan. The big opportunity came back to them, but once again they had to lose a big game where they could win it would increase their confidence even more. Let's wait for their performance in a match that will make it difficult for them to face other giant clubs in Serie A.

Yes, Napoli is ok, but look, there's also a huge big party
Milan vs Rome
this is also a very important game to watch at all costs
Roma must commit to winning to stay on top
Milan must win in order not to leave Napoli

then well there's Juventus vs Udinese
this is also a very tough match

Mentality must be built after many years, seasons and history. Napoli did not win too many Scudetto and these players they have in this season don't have many experience of standing on a first position of Serie A. They are good players and can play well which is reflected on their win streak.

Anyway, the win streak was broken by Inter Milan and this defeat can be a start of something bad for Napoli. They must stand up and reclaim their win habit again. If they continue with some few bad matches, all advantages they had in first half of season will be non sense and they might never be able to reclaim a first position.

It happened in the past season and I hope Napoli can do something really different in this season.

The recent defeat by Napoli has made Spalletti even more careful when facing big teams in the next game. Match statistics show that Napoli can dominate the match, but due to their lack of optimal use of opportunities, they are unable to score goals against Inter. The defeat by Inter did not threaten Napoli's position at the top of the standings, Spalletti must not let this mistake continue in the next game. Napoli needs to increase the productivity of goals to keep its position always safe.

Roma still have a chance to get back into the top four, until match 16 Roma have collected 30 points, now Roma are 4 points adrift of Juventus and 3 points from Inter who are in third and fourth place. Mourinho must improve the quality of attack and build defense to keep his chances of getting into the top four. Now that Serie A is competitive, it's hard to say which team will finish in the top four.

Yes, the first defeat must be taken seriously by Napoli. Serie A's journey is still quite long and the threat to the Partenopei is increasingly evident. In my opinion, the defeat to Inter Milan was the impact of the World Cup break so that the cohesiveness that had been formed earlier became chaotic and the proof was that in the trial match Napoli were also unable to show a satisfactory performance. Spalletti certainly has to reflect on his experience, this season is a big opportunity for the Partenopei to win the Scudetto. However, if they lose again against Juventus the following week, then it is very clear that the Napoli players do not have the mentality of being a true champion.

Even if we look at Napoli in previous seasons it was always like that when they were always victorious at the start of the season but as time went on their conditions always got worse again and again towards the end of the season.

I really don't want to see them come back like that this season, but when this keeps happening there is still some improvement for them to do and it's going to be a bit difficult if that doesn't work.

The game against Sampdoria should be a turning point for them again and there is no reason not to take full points in this game as they need to restore the momentum that was slightly interrupted by Inter in the previous game.

Even if we look at Napoli in previous seasons it was always like that when they were always victorious at the start of the season but as time went on their conditions always got worse again and again towards the end of the season.

Their performances in past two seasons are different. In this season, they are doing better, at least after 16 matches and I believe they can complete this season better.

I really don't want to see them come back like that this season, but when this keeps happening there is still some improvement for them to do and it's going to be a bit difficult if that doesn't work.

They already have more experience and they can improve a lot in this season. It is optimistic to think Napoli can win Scudetto but I believe they will end this season at a higher position than they did in the last season.

The game against Sampdoria should be a turning point for them again and there is no reason not to take full points in this game as they need to restore the momentum that was slightly interrupted by Inter in the previous game.

It will be a test for Napoli and if they win it, it seems everything will be back to normal. I remember in the past season, nobody had big belief in AC Milan but gradually, they fighted, won matches and became a strong competitor in late of season. Eventually they won Scudetto in Serie A 2021 - 2022 and Napoli are stepping on a same challenging journey in this season.

The season is still long, there are many matches that Napoli must go through to win the Scudetto. The defeat suffered by Napoli should not be associated with any reason, now Spalletti must reorganize his squad to achieve victory in the following matches. Napoli can still breathe because they still have a 5 point gap with Milan, which is one rank below, Milan can still cut the 5 point difference if Napoli stumble again in the continuation of Serie A.
Spalletti must maintain the condition of his players to stay fit, because Napoli is still active in the Champions League. Player injuries are very detrimental to Napoli because they can prevent them from winning the Scudetto at the end of the season.

If Napoli are held to a draw by Sampdoria, it means that Napoli is not doing well, BTW regarding the Milan vs. Roma match. In the match, AC Milan will get their second victory in the Italian League this season. They are determined to beat AS Roma at the San Siro. Previously, AC Milan had successfully picked up three points at home to Salernitana and the victory was won in matchday 16 at the Arechi Stadium.

Two AC Milan goals were scored by Rafael Leao and Sandro Tonali. Meanwhile, Federico Bonazzoli scored the only goal for Salernitana. This result has made AC Milan collect 36 points from 16 matches. Stefano Pioli's team will certainly maintain their place in second place in the Serie A standings and do not want to drop points in the match against Roma

What led to the victory of inter Milan might be lack of confidence because inter Milan looks intimidating to Napoli or maybe Napoli lost quality in their performance,  I could see that during their friendly. The upcoming games of Napoli with  big teams will tell if they can win the league this season.  Napoli has done very well in Serie A and Champions league competition,  they still need to use same energy and winning mentality to win the rest of their match.

Saturday 7th January
Fiorentina 14:00 Sassuolo
Juventus 17:00 Udinese
Monza 19:45 Inter Milan

Sunday 8th January
Salernitana 11:30 Torino
Lazio 14:00 Empoli
Spezia 14:00 Lecce
Sampdoria 17:00 Napoli
AC Milan 19:45 Roma

I think, Napoli will definitely achieve victory from Sampdoria because they will not allow what happened between them and inter Milan last match to repeat itself again than to make their midfield well organized to allow their strikers to achieve goals from the match. Monza will definitely make this match difficult for Inter Milan to win, because they understand the tactics Inter Milan are using in this season, which they will do everything possible within their power to stop them not to succeed with their tactics in this match. I believe, Monza can make this match draw 0-0 with inter Milan,because they have potential defenders who can make it happen.

[Barcode_]

Sassuolo messed up terribly in their last game against Sampdoria and lost a good opportunity to earn 3 points, playing against Fiorentina away from home will not be an easy task for the players of Sassuolo as Fiorentina are a tough team to beat whenever they are playing at their home stadium. I guess there is a high chance for Sassuolo to suffer another defeat in this upcoming match against Fiorentina.

That's what made me doubt about Napoli. They don't seem to have the mental toughness to keep playing consistently with their form, and when they drop points it's very likely to expect them to lose more.

Now that Napoli's point gap with Milan has become even closer, it is now 4 points. So there is a good possibility for Milan to expect Napoli to lose again in the next match against Samdoria or Juventus. Napoli don't have the good winning mentality like other top teams, and that is their weakness.
