Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[borovichok]

Roma have been in a really bad shape for many weeks. They aren't able to get wins easily and they won only once lately. They were nearly losing to Milan as well last week but it was a really nice save in the last minutes. But still this performance is really bad for them. Mourinho is still insistent on the same game strategies and this is harming the team a lot. We are seeing him taking good actions sometimes as he did it against Milan in the second half. But interestingly Roma don't do this from the beginning of a match.

Mourinho needs to have a more attacking focused game plan to have a winning streak. This team aren't fitting a defensive game plan. You can't win anything against big teams like this. They have been really terrible in such matches so far. Hopefully they will beat Fiorentina home to improve their morale.

Roma needs to bounce back to winning ways, they need to start winning games. AS Roma giving out so much energy in games but they're currently ranked 7th on the table with slightly good performance, recording WWWDW in their last five games. Jose Mourinho leading chances to score more points because his ultimate target is to qualify for the champions league next season. The top four race won't be an easy one but with consistency from his players and straight formable tactics, they can be in the race.

Juventus is not an easy opponent for Napoli to beat, I think Juventus will not let Napoli widen their point gap at the top of the standings, I believe both teams will play with all their abilities and give their best game to be able to get full points, I think the results of the meeting this will end in a draw or juventus will win narrowly by Napoli

Regardless, this match is a match that is very difficult to predict.
Their strength could be said to be fairly balanced at the moment with good stats and performance.
The chances of a draw are obviously big but in this match I am leaning more towards Napoli because apart from playing at home they are also clear for now they still want to make their performance better especially after losing to Inter before.

I think everyone has their own view of judging which club will come out victorious, Napoli do have the potential to win because they are playing at home and of course they will play their best in front of their supporters that's why Napoli is superior in this match, but I think Juventus it could be a surprise for Napoli, no one can predict it but we will see the results of the match later 

It's true, everyone has the right to do anything and is free to express their support and predictions, but with the odds that we're seeing right now and with Napoli playing at home, this is definitely an added advantage for those who will definitely benefit.
But on the other hand Juventus is still Juventus, they will also do anything for this match and of course they are also looking for points to further strengthen their position.

[bitgolden]

There is no clear deference between the two performances, one is doing well in attack but need little more defensive creativity while the others already has a good defense but needs much force in the attack. The two sides are currently in close performance by rating, if I should judge from the match against Lazio, I think Juventus has a little more upper hand in winning due to the improvement in their attacking line lately.

There is a clear difference to me. Sure Juventus has been playing well for a while now and there is a momentum for them but that doesn't change the fact that I believe they are going to end up losing this one because Napoli hasn't been good for just a while, they have been good for the whole year and only got their first ever loss recently, which proves that they rarely lose.

I believe that either a Napoli win or a draw is much more likely than a win for Juventus and it's not going to be the bet I would make .I am going to wager on Napoli to win and I am going to be pretty sure about the result as well, it's definitely something I am 90% sure that Napoli will win.

We have the official squad list, as said earlier, a lot of players are still missing  
Gonna be hard.

Juve will have a lot of problems dealing with this situation. It is very important for them to win this match. It will give them a certain level of security that they will still be in the title race if they win the match. It is expected that this match will be a pivotal game for Juventus more than it will be for Napoli. There is no doubt in my mind that I would love to see Juventus triumph in this match. Because that would make the table look a lot more interesting. In any case, if Juventus lose, Napoli will have a huge lead again, and they will not throw that away obviously.

[hahay]

Intermilano and Hellas Verona this is a that the the out has already been calculated in favour of inter because of their previous meetings ordinarily inter is a good side compare to their rival team and in Italian serie A you must talk about inter as a team because of their history and this I foresee inter dorminating the match with more goals to come.

From the odds alone, it's very clear that Inter are the favorites to win and even people who don't really follow football developments will of course choose Inter to win because they are influenced by the big name that Inter has. In fact, at this moment Verona are in the relegation zone and moreover Inter will be playing at home.
So it is clear, without doing any analysis of course Inter will indeed win. Although in football anything can happen, but at this moment it is difficult for Verona to make a surprise and in that way, the victory on paper for Inter will indeed happen.

[GiftedMAN]

I was laughing so hard a few month ago when I saw how poorly Juventus is playing and what awful game-style they have after they once again rehired Allegri but now , I'm not laughing anymore because this system of Allegri really works with Juventus as they are back on track for Scudetto which is absolutely insane! If somehow they win tonight against Napoli , they will be only 4 points behind Napoli.

For Napoli , this should be the most important game for them and the entire squad should be focus on getting 3 points today or the Serie A title will be much harder for them to obtain and another dream of Napoli as a city to become champions, will be ruined .

If they are to win the league tittle off course they need to take every game seriously not just because they want to face a stronger and better clubs than the underdogs. The dream of winning the league after years can only be achieved in such a way.

Allegri has done more than enough the criticism all thrown at him was useful as they have been useful to help his side back top the top. They are not sure if winning the league but the champions league is a must. Vlahovic, Paul Pogba, Bonnuci all has been casted off this game with InjuriesI

Verona with their 12 defeats puts them in the relegation zone now, while Inter Milan continues to improve and they are now in the top 4 in the table. Napoli are also very hard to beat, able to taste their first defeat after they made a fantastic record without defeat from the start of the season. Bookmakers place Inter Milan as the favourite, there's no mistaking it because you can see the difference in the quality of the 2 competing teams from just mentioning their names.

Already two seasons at Diego Armando Maradona Stadium Napoli not lost against Juventus, the possibility of a definite result is a draw or victory for Napoli in this match, I agree with you Juventus will not win although they currently in a good performance. Also Napoli this season is very great, it's proved that in the Champions league they are getting very good results, but to bet on them is too risky although I also believe they will win.

Yes I agree that this is an important match for both teams each point will determine their steps forward especially Juventus who keep trying to take over
I suspect that the Juventus match will play defensively and rely on counterattacks As we know that Juventus have a strong defense so Napoli will need more effort
On the other hand Napoli will use playing in front of his own fans this means they are more confident but still need luck to win.

[imamusma]

Today's match at the top of Serie A, Napoli vs Juventus, promises to be extremely interesting. Just a few seasons ago, when Juventus dominated Italy, only Napoli was a threat to the team from Turin. Currently, the league is more even, more teams count in the fight for the scudetto, but Napoli this season looks best. Juventus have been winning regularly lately, but it's hard to say that these are convincing victories. Rather, there is a lot of luck in it, and the winners are decided by goals scored in the last minutes of the matches. In today's match, I bet on the victory of the leader team from Napoli.

I expected the probability of a Juventus victory to be increased after we started the first half. At the moment everyone seems to think Napoli is the favourite, meanwhile they are unsure about Juventus so the probability is low. Juventus had something to prove today and I expected them to score first and surprise everyone.

I don't think Juventus lost, so maybe you need to adjust your stake if you do bet on Napoli. A draw is the most likely result, but I hope for a Juventus win. 1-1 or 1-2, that is fair.

[judas]

Milan are going to have a really comfortable week this time. The opponent is Lecce and this team are not much threat to Milan normally. Milan should just be careful and had better not underestimate Lecce even a bit. The reason why I'm pointing this out is Lecce's current form in the league. Because they haven't been losing a single match for five matches in the league. This would be a factor to improve their self-confidence here. They have conceded the same amount of goals with Milan so far but they are really bad at scoring.

Milan should take advantage of their weaknesses and beat them by a decent score gap like 2-0, 3-1 and so on.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Well, as far as Roma's strategy is concerned, I think many have been criticizing it, but you have to be a little patient, Mou is not just any technical director, he has the necessary players at his disposal to make the team move up much more, and he can put them in a very good position in all ways and by ahbaer, however I am inclined to think that the most Roma fans can say that this team has a lot of potential, perhaps we will not be talking about one like when the great Totti was there , but we do have players in this team who can help win games, and what Roma need now, as in Serie A, is that, to win.

It's only fitting that Juventus get the full support of their fans because they managed to get five wins in a row. This shows that Juventus are also working hard to get victory. Their struggle will not stop quickly because in the next match they will meet Napoli, which is a club with strong quite big and not easy to beat.

The five consecutive wins won by Juventus show that they are starting to recover a little, but has this revival reawakened the fans'l trust in Allegri?
 I don't think so, at this time Juventus fans have lost faith in Allegri and they continue to demand management to immediately fire Allegri, Juventus management decision to continue to maintain Allergri continues to cause controversy because in the last few seasons Juventus have experienced a decline in performance and are out of the Scudetto competition, the match against Napoli of course it will be a test of Juventus current consistency because Napoli is currently the strongest team in Serie A and it can be said that it will be difficult to beat them.

The truth is that it does not surprise me because of the victories that Juve has had, it is a team that is totally focused, I think that this time they came out with all their strength to be able to seize that first place, however Napoli are already seeing it as a an easy target to reach, and we fall into the same thing that had been speculated even before the World Cup, that Napoli if they don't start to play well, if they start to lose their advantage for whatever reason because of the sale of players or something, it's a It's a pity that they lose this opportunity to go first, the teams come stronger, more repowered, some players had a lot of time to rest and that is reflected in their gameplay.

Paul Pogba returns to partial training in latest step on road to Juve comeback

Tuesday saw Juventus players go through a pair of training sessions as preparations for Friday night’s showdown with Napoli kicked into gear. But there was one player, in particular, at training that had to be pretty dang relived to be there.

Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba took the latest step in his return from knee surgery by returning to partial training with the group. While Pogba’s timetable has continued to be pushed back, this is not only a big deal for the simple fact that he’s now running and cutting and doing football activities again, but also because we can hopefully see his knee respond well to the activity and then prevent what happened the last time he tried to give things a go on the training fields of Continassa.

It's not about guessing their playing style, if you ask me, speaking generally about Juventus, their play style is much different compared to many other teams and they usually play defensively while they can have high-speed counterattacks and that's mostly because of the strong midfielders they have so they won't need to have the ball and ground under control whole they can use the counterattacks and but just using the chance they may have on the game they will win, from the games I saw that's what understood from the games.

[Velvet78]

Inter shouldn't have much difficulty this week. Verona are one of the weakest teams in the league currently. This is a free win for Inter. They are currently one of the best teams in home games with only one loss so far. Verona don't have even one win in away games. Besides Inter have a very solid history in head-to-head home games against Verona. They beat Verona like all the time in the recent years.

Depending on the result of Napoli - Juventus game they can catch up with at least one of them a little more by this week.

[Sandra_hakeem]

It's almost time for the runner up and we're expecting everything fascinating in these game today...
From the update I got, Paul Pogba is back from his knee injury that eventually resulted to a surgery, but I think he's fine now as he's been spotted in the dressing room and also the warm-up arena.
I just think Juve would need alot of effort to either vye for the top or maintain their position currently; Napoli has gotten 14 wins, 44 points and  26 goals outstanding.. well, let's see what happens at the end of the first period

I also hope that Juventus will win and it will be exciting again in Italy in the Serie A. Juventus' starting line-up includes di Maria and Chiesa. But Juventus is playing very defensively today, only 1 striker. Napoli play with 3 offensiv players, they will shoot at goal much more often today. Juventus will have not many chances, but hope 1 goal more than Napoli.

Paul Pogba returns to partial training in latest step on road to Juve comeback

this guy i believe that all juventus fans no longer count on him in the team, even if he plays for juventus, it probably won't even be this season or it may be in the last games of the season and given that he stopped playing for a long time the coach of juventus will not play him right away, it will take a long time for him to play 90 minutes in juventus, the fact is that juventus did very well without him so when that happens what the team does right away is sell the player to the first interested in him

Milan are going to have a really comfortable week this time. The opponent is Lecce and this team are not much threat to Milan normally.

i also bet that milan will win in this game but i am really 100% convinced that this will not be an easy game for milan looking at milan's bad defense and looking at the last games of lecce they had many draws and surprising victory against lazio by this is why i think milan needs to be very careful with leccer, i hope milan don't ruin my bet because i've had bad luck when i bet on them

Depending on the result of Napoli - Juventus game they can catch up with at least one of them a little more by this week.

But if Inter have the same points as Juventus, then Inter will still be under Juventus because Juventus has more total goals. But yes, at least with Inter playing against Verona, it is certain that Inter will also be a shadow that continues to threaten to take over second place or even for the top position too.
Napoli, who previously looked fine because they had a fairly wide gap in points, but at this moment, of course, Napoli will not be as comfortable as before because Juventus and Inter can become teams that can take over first place in the Serie A standings.

Massimiliano Allegri must learn from Inter, Lille and Villareal how to beat Napoli. Even though two of those matches were friendly matches, I think Massimiliano Allegri will be able to learn something about Napoli's weaknesses. It's true that Napoli are difficult to beat because they are in the prime of form, but nothing is impossible.

Having 5 midfielders in this match will make the Juventus midfield even stronger. They need to dominate the midfield so that the movement of Napoli's forward players is hampered. Maybe this strategy will work, but Juventus can also take advantage of quick counter-attacks. Technically, I think Juventus will win.

Good to see Chiesa in the starting XI, before Injury was easily a 100m € player.

Game starting soon.
