Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Zlantann]

AC Milan's appearance is in a sharp decline. The Rossoneri have never tasted victory in four consecutive matches in various competitions. This is a situation that Pioli certainly did not expect. Milan is threatened without a title this season, in the Coppa they have also been eliminated as well as in Serie A, Milan, who are the defending champions, are also finding it increasingly difficult to compete. Pioli had to rack his brains to restore the confidence of his players. The defeat to Inter Milan in the Italian Super Cup final has worsened AC Milan's report card in recent times, moreover they will also face a difficult opponent this week against Lazio.

The club management has refused to take advantage of the January transfer window. Coach Piolo and the management have concluded that no new player is needed. They claim that the team is fine and capable of winning trophies. But a team that has lost four straight matches is not in good shape. Depending on players like Olivier Giroud in the attack is not giving the right result. It is important the Rossoneri reconsider their stance, and get a few new players that would reinforce the team and make first-team shirts competitive.

Inter won the Italian Super Cup by beating AC Milan. AC Milan was literally thrashed 3-0 by Inter. As a result of the second goal, Milan started to gain control of the game, putting Inter on the defensive, but they were unable to find a way to break through. After one minute of stoppage time, Milan had the best opportunity of the game, but the ball hit the crossbar. For Milan, this result is quite unexpected, but for Inter, it's party time.

Coach S. Inzaghi should that he is technically sound. Inter allowed Milan to control the game and get more ball possession. But their attacking force was ready to use the counterattack and capitalize on any defensive blunder from the Milan team. Milan's undoing was their inability to utilize their opportunities, while Inter used the few they had.

Congratulations to Inter Milan for winning the Italian Super Cup by beating AC Milan 3 goals without reply. You can see how their plan was considered successful by getting a quick goal in the 10th minute. This made them more comfortable in the game, especially after they scored their second goal in the 21st minute. Even though AC Milan tried to get a goal, Inter Milan was successful in implementing this formation. defended so that made it difficult for AC Milan to steal goals from their goal.

It was really unbelievable to see Napoli being eliminated in the Coppa Italia this early and against a much weaker team. There was some rotation in the lineup though. But even in that situation Napoli should have been able to fight harder than this. Because they have had a big motivation in this season to become as successful as possible. Osimhen entered the match very late like in extra time. I understand Spalletti about preserving him for more important matches.

But I don't think they have such option to see this cup less important. They aren't a team that win this cup very often in the end. But winning the Serie A title would still be a huge compensation for that.

[bounceback]

Ac Milan is known by many as a good team and many expected them to win this match but they lost 3-0 with Inter.  And Inter scored 2 goals in the first 21 minutes.  And scored another goal in 77' and beat AC Milan by 3 goals in total. However, Inter Milan are still far behind AC Milan on points and Napoli are on top. But today's excellent score has helped Inter Milan take the lead by a good points

It is true that many thought in that match that AC Milan would come out victorious in the match against Inter Milan, unfortunately the defending champions could not play consistently even though when the match started in the first round AC Milan dominated the ball but the Inter team were able to take advantage of every opportunity and managed to outperform the AC Milan team until the match ended.
This season Napoli is the strongest candidate for the Scudetto title and it looks like they will win the Scudetto title if they always appear consistently in every subsequent match.

[wmaurik]

but for Inter Milan because of the victory with AC MIlan that made them back to back winning the supercopa Italiana and the victory over Napoli made the mentality of this team increase to overshadow Serie A this season, even though Inter Milan is currently still 10 points behind Napoli from the top of the standings but it doesn't mean that they are out of competition for the Scudetto because the remaining matches this season are still very many and all possibilities are still possible to happen.

This season's Serie A will certainly not be the same as the Super Cup or Coppa Italia so their performances (Inter Milan, AC Milan and Napoli) for Serie A this season will definitely look different from their performances in the Super Cup or Coppa Italia. Because AC Milan will still be consistent and be a team that can make a surprise in the race for the title in Serie A this season, especially since the time is still very long for all teams who still want to get up and want to be in a better position.

I'm sorry but I mistakenly gave Atalanta a goal to Napoli, my oversight! LoL however I fully agree with you, it will be a very close game, for Juventus losing again would mean making all the good things they have created so far vanish, but Atalanta will hardly give up without a fight, we will see a good game I'm sure

It's okay mate.  
Indeed  there will be a high tension for two clubs. I am also sure that they will prepare their best squad. Hopefully, Juventus will be ready with their full team mainly, after some were in their process of injury recovery. If they are not, it will be tougher for them.

if Juventus had always been complete we would certainly have seen another championship for sure, I think they have the strongest and most complete team in Serie A, a pity about the injuries that have battered the team. Juventus vs Atalanta for me will be crucial for the black and whites, and one way or another they will definitely win this match

I know Juventus have problems with injuries to some of their very good players, but i don't think anything would have been different even if those players were available, this season is for Napoli and i don't think any team would have changed it, not even Juventus. Napoli have the best team in the seria A, they also have a very consistent team this season. Juventus have not won the seria A championship in three seasons now, and it has made the seria A very competitive; we would see if Juventus can win it next season as they would probably start with their complete squad, but this season is for Napoli.

[slapper]

I am expecting Lazio to win and am willing to place this bet for Lazio to win. Lazio's performance this season has been more consistent than Bologna's. But the important thing is that this is Lazio's home match. And the Lazio team at home is very strong. I have yet to see Lazio lose a home match against Bologna. A Lazio team is always capable of performing well at home. And so I think Lazio will win today's match as well. And will win by at least 2 goals.

Your expectation of Lazio winning is probably very reasonable, and I think Lazio deserved to win it. Lazio in general had good form before the match against Bologna in the Coppa Italia, but of course you can't be 100% sure of the final result which we can't say yet. The win against Sassoulo in the previous match should motivate Lazio to win against Bologna in the round of 16, this will really be a challenge they have to miss to qualify for the quarter-finals.

Meanwhile in the Bologna camp, they also have a chance to qualify for the quarter-finals if they are able to thwart Lazio. The probability would probably be low, but anything was possible. I think Lazio will qualify, but Bologna still has a chance.

Yeah, I totally agree with you that Lazio has a good chance of winning against Bologna. But you never know in football, anything can happen. Even though Lazio had good form before the match, it doesn't mean they're gonna win for sure. But I gotta say, I got a feeling that Bologna might surprise us and pull off a win. They got nothing to lose and everything to gain, so they might play with a bit more freedom. Let's see what happens, but either way, it's gonna be a great match.

[bitgolden]

Intermilan was doing full defense against ac milan. Intermilan was waiting for the golden chance to make counter attack. This kind of strategy was very efficient to prevent a team who played aggressively like ac milan. Ac milan was always attacking intermilan but intermilan was countering it with a very effective counterattack that makes ac milan defenders feel so panic with it. I saw that how fully defensive mode sometimes will make the team feels frustrated and once the team was doing counter attack and that will be effective caused by the counter attack happened when opponent players were frustrated to make goals.

Considering this is not a league game and the super cup, it's obvious that they had to do something special for sure. And in this case that special thing was the defense they had. I mean in a "win or go home" game, you have to play very good defense because if you do not concede a goal, then it means you could only win, maybe you will score 3 goals like Inter, or maybe it will be tie and go to as further as penalties, but if you concede less than the other team, you have a better chance.

With countering as well, they ended up being a lot better and managed to score and win. Looked like a very easy win when it shouldn't because Milan is normally the better team between them this past 1.5 seasons.

From 2020 lazio vs bologna last 5 matches lazio won 3 and bologna won 2 but in these 5 matches total goals were scored out of 13 lazio scored 7 and bologna scored 6.  Both teams are almost equally strong with lazio slightly ahead.  However, none of the teams can be declared with confidence as likely in today's match. But yes I agree with you that lazio has more chances to win the match

I think it should be Napoli who will win the Scudetto this season instead of other teams like Juventus, Milan or Inter. Napoli have been very consistent about their form and they keep doing their best to win match after match every week. Napoli certainly can really win the title, but it is only the second half of the season where there are many matches that will be waiting for Napoli ahead.

At least Napoli must maintain their good performance in the next 18 matches where they must avoid defeat or drop as many points as possible. Milan, Juventus and Inter will all take advantage of Napoli's situation, but so far Napoli's run to the Scudetto has been nothing short of amazing.

[Doell]

but for Inter Milan because of the victory with AC MIlan that made them back to back winning the supercopa Italiana and the victory over Napoli made the mentality of this team increase to overshadow Serie A this season, even though Inter Milan is currently still 10 points behind Napoli from the top of the standings but it doesn't mean that they are out of competition for the Scudetto because the remaining matches this season are still very many and all possibilities are still possible to happen.

Of course, it will definitely be very different in Serie A, Inter and Milan are still the strongest competitors although they are under Napoli. Meanwhile, Juventus also they can to surprise get up and still have a chance in the race for Squdetto in the remaining matches, and anything can happen. Yes, I believe also that will be consistent in this season is Milan, like last season they can make a surprise in the remaining matches, but I hope Napoli can will also be to a consistent.

I am putting Juventus ahead in the match between Juventus and Monza. Juventus are in great form at the moment, they are going great. However, in some matches they were not able to collect the desired results. I hope they will confirm the victory in the next match.

If we consider next season, of course they will have changes, of course, their performance and gameplay will also be different. But for this season, because Juventus can also be defeated by Napoli with a big score, at least these results prove that Napoli are still consistent in maintaining their position at the top of the Serie A standings.
But even so Juventus still has several key injured players, if in the remaining matches until the end of this season these players can recover and not be injured again. So it is very likely that Juventus will also continue to follow under the position of Napoli.

[ShowOff]

Of course, it will definitely be very different in Serie A, Inter and Milan are still the strongest competitors although they are under Napoli. Meanwhile, Juventus also they can to surprise get up and still have a chance in the race for Squdetto in the remaining matches, and anything can happen. Yes, I believe also that will be consistent in this season is Milan, like last season they can make a surprise in the remaining matches, but I hope Napoli can will also be to a consistent.

Napoli, Inter, Milan and Juventus are the favorite teams this season to win the title. I trust Napoli more than last season where it seems they are getting more and more excited every match. Milan may struggle to come out with their best form, that makes me give higher chance for Inter to be runners up this season instead of Milan and Juventus.

Milan looked terrible in the final against Inter, as well as Juventus against Napoli. Obviously Napoli are the favourites, but we can't confirm that at the moment because it's still very possible for Napoli to lose control for the rest of the season.

I hope Napoli don't lose their existence now after what they have shown in their games this season. They have created a distance of 9 points, don't let the things they have achieved with great difficulty just disappear because of their own mistakes. They have only lost 1 time this season which was at that time Inter Milan who were able to beat them. They had 20 more games to play, and in that many games, anything could happen. They have to think about homework and of course the job of a coach to concoct a strategy so that they remain consistent in every match they will play. It won't be easy, obviously it won't be easy for them to do, but with a high fighting spirit and they are motivated to get the Scudetto title, they will definitely be able to do it.

AC Milan's appearance is in a sharp decline. The Rossoneri have never tasted victory in four consecutive matches in various competitions. This is a situation that Pioli certainly did not expect. Milan is threatened without a title this season, in the Coppa they have also been eliminated as well as in Serie A, Milan, who are the defending champions, are also finding it increasingly difficult to compete. Pioli had to rack his brains to restore the confidence of his players. The defeat to Inter Milan in the Italian Super Cup final has worsened AC Milan's report card in recent times, moreover they will also face a difficult opponent this week against Lazio.

After the break AC Milan is having trouble to handle their performance and there are losing points and having exit from copaitalia and now thrashed by Inter in Super Copa mean things are not good for them in this half of the season they need to improve their quality and have few better players for staying at the top of the league table otherwise they can lose their spot and can go down because we have good changes in few teams which are improving their performance and quality and having better results specially big change in Atlanta which is now having good results in all matches after the break.

Now AC Milan is going to visit Lazio which is also not easy task for them in last encounter between these two teams won by AC Milan, but now Lazio can give tough challenge and manage better result which will give them drop in spot from league table.

[minime0105]

After the international break Atlanta has been making a good play with what played out today in copa Italia between Atlanta and spezia the mindset of the spectator whom credit has already been given to Atlanta to win the match outrightly doesn't really matter because most times we can't actually tell the end of a particular match despite how good the team we are expecting to win is, but we most give it to Atlanta in this match because the deserve it from first half till the last minute of the game.

[mvdheuvel1983]

I expected Milan to score at least one goal but Inter had a great game and kept a clean sheet taking the trophy. Exactly one month after consecrating himself with Argentina,
Lautaro repeats with Inter Milan, his goal is added, and that the first score was very similar to that of the World Cup final.

But I don't think they have such option to see this cup less important. They aren't a team that win this cup very often in the end. But winning the Serie A title would still be a huge compensation for that.

Surely this was shocking but still believable because while teams are having good performance in top leagues then mostly they never have any good intention for these titles right now Napoli is having good time at the top of Serie A and their Champions League performance is also amazing, so they send their reserve team for this match, and they were not able to perform as they were able to do.

Spalletti was overconfidence in early stages but as he feels some pressure he sends his star player in extra time, but things were not good for them and they lose this match with now they have intention to do better in league as they are already having nine points lead from the second spotted AC Milan which is good but still we are having 20 rounds left which can create mess-up hopefully this defeat will give them good lesson, and they will be done better in coming matches.
