Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Jossque]

Roma took 3 points away from Spezia with 2 goals. After Juventus's points were deleted, the race for the top 4 will be even more heated. Teams will want to avoid losing points.
In the Juventus - Atalanta game, we watched a goal duel. Although Juventus was ahead in the first half, they couldn't protect it and were condemned to a draw.  Both teams played well and there was no winner, which is worse for Juventus because it was a home game.

Juventus chance to get back into the top 3 until the end of the season is almost impossible (to be able to climb back into the top 3, Juventus must expect that Milan, inter or Roma lose in the next match then that is impossible anymore), 15 points deduction is a thing which is very heavy for Juventus. Napoli is very close to the Serie A champion.

Juventus really have no hope anymore because in the next match they have to face a big club that cannot be beaten easily, Juventus will evaluate it to prepare several strategies that must be changed in the following season to be ready to compete, currently Juventus are in the top nine already good enough.

In fact, no, this match was a battle but it didn't bring advantages for my beloved team (Juventus) not to mention that they brought home 1 point with a lot of effort (and tiredness)
It's not a win, it's definitely a total loss.

You are right, this is a total loss for juventus. The draw that was obtained by Juventus made them have to fall to 9th position. they recently got a sanctions because of finance violations. They should still be able to get 3 points in this match to keep the chance of getting to race for the top 4 positions. But, this draw will make juventus more difficult. Unless their consistency is still good even though the players are definitely disappointed with the 15 point deduction obtained by Juventus.

This match was obviously full of goals. A lot of fireworks from both teams in this match. But in the end, it is obviously not the desired result for Juventus. They just lost a lot of points which honestly I think is quite unfair. I wanted Juventus to win this match. But in the end, it came down to the weak defending of Juventus. They could not get all three points from this match. But I will say that after such a setback, they actually did well enough in this match. And we also have to remember that the match did not start very well for them.

As other users have said, this season the Serie A competition has been really tough for teams like Milan, Inter, Roma and Juventus.
I exclude Napoli because they have appeared very consistently so far this season. Napoli won the last 16/19 matches in which they only drew 2 times and only suffered 1 defeat.

Juventus received a penalty of 15 points for their past transfer cases, and clearly it has cost the team. But what I salute is the attitude of his coach Massimiliano Allegri who remains proud to be part of Juventus in difficult and happy times.

Allegri has no regrets over Real snub despite Juve's 15-point deduction

Allegri vowed to stay at Juve after the punishment and reiterated his commitment on Sunday as he suggested he made the right choice in rejecting Madrid, who he had agreed a contract with in July 2021 before an approach from the Bianconeri.

"I never regret my choices, when they are made at that moment they are right," the Juve coach told Sky Sport Italia.

What about Inter's game against Empoli? It seems to me that after the Milan derby, Inter have spent a lot of energy. And Empoli are a solid mid-table club, who by the way have been playing well of late. Many people think that Inter have no problem to beat Empoli, especially on their home field. But I think there might be some surprises. For example, a draw.

If I consider the current situation and condition of Inter who are working hard to strengthen their position in the top four, then of course Inter will still win this match against Empoli. Because on a head to head basis too, when Inter played against Empoli both home and away Inter often dominated the wins.
So having this very good morale after Inter managed to beat Milan by a big score earlier then of course, Inter will continue that good trend for this match as well and I don't think Empoli can make a surprise. Because in fact, in terms of the odds currently available, the gap is so big that Inter can be sure to win.

On paper Inter can really win on today match against Empoli, and Inter also need three points in this match, to at least stay away from Roma which currently have same poin in standings. Although Empoli has a good record in five matches, but the opponent is a team that is below Inter in the current standings, meanwhile Inter can won vs Napoli. So I'm also sure, there will be no draw in this game, possibility Inter can get scored two or three goals.

Szczesny was responsible for the first goal. He should have saved that shot easily but he couldn't stop the ball with his hands. Juventus had a really bad defensive performance in this match at the same time. They could have even lost this match if Toloi didn't waste a big chance to make the score 4-3. Szczesny made up for his mistake a little by saving that great shot there. But this result is unacceptable for the team anyway. Juventus are better than this but they need their injured players as recovered as well.

As for their chance to climb the positions to top places I don't give it much chance while there is a huge gap like this. They had better work harder in the Europa League or Coppa Italia to win at least one of them.

The defensive performance of Juventus was the only reason why they did not end up winning the match in my opinion. And the mistake which was made early on in the match by the Juventus goalkeeper was also a reason for Juventus not winning the match in my opinion. If they could defend a little better, I think the results could have been a lot different.

And if I have to predict if they are going to go to the top three again, I will say that there is a chance still. But that chance is decreasing day by day.

Tough threat for the old lady's to qualify for the champions league Ned season. They're not holding back as things stand, they need to start been on streak winnings in games. Making mistakes in game is totally understandable because mistakes are inevitable. Juventus are a bit reluctant in the game against Atalanta yesterday, although their draw tie in the Allianz stadium was not encouraging after their points were deducted due to claims proofing about their illegal act in the transfer window.

3-3 in the end was not the result Juventus needed in this situation.

The turn is far to be over, we have 2 more games coming in Monday and Tuesday.

In fact, no, this match was a battle but it didn't bring advantages for my beloved team (Juventus) not to mention that they brought home 1 point with a lot of effort (and tiredness)

I think it was still very good considering all the psychological trouble they have gone through this week. There is an unfair solution to what happened and injustice does bring down everyone's morale a lot, this caused Juventus to be upset and I would be upset too.

I am not denying that they did what is claimed, they probably did so, and other teams probably did it too, I am just saying that 15 point was too much, maybe a 6-9 points would be more decent, maybe just a fine would be enough, but 15 points? That's just injustice and hatred towards Juventus without a doubt. This is why them not even losing is enough, they did the best they could under these circumstances.

Tonight Inter has the chance to start the hunt for 2nd place. I don't see Inter becoming champions anymore, even though they recently won the mutual match against Napoli. In the current rankings on various websites, Juventus' penalty has already been included and the points have been deducted. Atalanta has also climbed up the rankings and the difference with, for example, the number 2, AC Milan, is only a few points. Anyone from the top 7 can just become second, I wouldn't dare to point out a favorite based on the current position. Just a little while and then Sampdoria will even be in last place. A downfall.

Juventus is even having challenges when playing with small team. It will be a big problem for them when they will face big teams.  Juventus problem started when most of their players were having injury problems.  It affected their performance in winning games beginning of the season.

[swogerino]

Isn't it funny when there is some game to be played on Monday and there is a team coming from a win and having been playing well despite losing against Atalanta and Roma which is now playing against the last place in the standings and yet they can't win,I want to call it a coincidence but such cases are almost happening every week,be it Serie A or another league but in this case the Serie A.I don't know how to call this,Bologna dominating completely the game in every aspect and the only problem they had was scoring when such team has scored even against much better teams than the last in the standings which is Cremonese.

[emrecemsan]

Juventus' punishment is debatable maybe but it won't change anything at the end of the day. They have to live with it from now on. Juventus had even the worse compared to this in the distant past. They dropped to the Serie B but came back even stronger. They dominated the Serie A for many years later on. Hence I think Juventus will leave these days behind as well sooner or later. They just need time for this. Maybe it won't happen this season and I believe it really won't considering their situation now.

They have lost more of their hope after this problem's being added to their injury problems. I'm curious what they will do in the other competitions.

With the condition that the point reduction is large enough for them, this clearly dashes real hopes, especially if you look at the current points, if you look at the current top 3 positions, they need at least 15 points.
Seeing their performance is a little good but of course this is still lacking if you rely on that.
The meeting this time with Atalanta is a draw. Even though there are still many matches left, still 15 points will be very difficult to catch.

Inter are having difficulties in the first half hour of the game against empoli, they are finding empoli defense tough to crack and they only had one goal chance so far which lautaro martinez missed, they need the three points today more than empoli does to take the second position temporarly and wait for milan to drop points tomorrow.

[Docnaster]

I was seeing this match to be a bonus win for Bologna, but they ended it badly after a dominating performance in both the first and second half of the match against Cremonese. It was a missed chance to have over through Fiorentina and Juventus but Bologna was able to utilize just 1 out of 21 crosses, The shocking part is making 8 attempts on target with just one goal throughout the game, I quest it was a result of poor finishing. Bologna still needs a more creative attacker.

Losing Milan Skriniar will be even more difficult for them now. Even if the opponent they are facing is Empoli, still with Empoli's current defense and with the condition of playing with 10 players it is clear that this will make it even more difficult for them.
Seeing from this situation the possibility of them drawing is even greater but it is clear that Empoli will not want to do that when they are ahead of players in the second half later.

Inter got a red card after Skriniar received two yellow, the will play the 2nd half with 10 players but i still believe that they can win or at least score, i don't think the red card will affect them that much, the odds for Inter to score is @1.7 which is quite good but a lot of people avoid it because the red card scare them away.

I was thinking this will be an easy game for Inter to win but Empoli is making the game more difficult for Inter.  Empoli is playing a game with good performance I never expected from them. If Inter is not careful they might likely lose the game  or play a draw game.

Goal!!! Empoli has taken the lead. why would you say the red card won't affect them, i mean even before the red card was given to skriniar empoli were playing very well and looking dangerous and with a red card, it means inter Milan are currently 10 men playing against eleven which gives empoli the greater chance in winning this match. Inter milan will not be looking to play all out forward again because of this red card and i also think there starting lineup was not too good having the likes of dzeko and lukaku in the bench and this has affected them too.

Inter milan just conceded a goal while playing with just 10 men against an Empoli side that have started the game in quite recommendable fashion, unfortunately I think this might be just one of those days where we just have to count our losses by betting on Inter Milan, I even strongly doubt they'll be able to secure just a draw from here on as things stands now, Empoli just aren't backing down and have clearly been the better side so far in this encounter, tbvh.
