Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Silence Scream]

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.

They will face Monza next week and they have a good chance of winning.  Right now Juventus are in 10th place and they want to move up fast.  This year they will strive to be among the top 6 teams.  In the meantime, 10 players remained in the current match in the league, and Inter lost 1-0 against Empoli.  Baldanzi scored the goal for Empoli.  Almost every week there is a surprise result.

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.

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.

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.

This is happening today and is a really unique happening as Inter has always been the dominating side even when they were not in the top 4 in other seasons,they have almost always won against Empoli.So far they are not being concrete to score goals and the coach normally had sacrificed some attacker in favor of a midfielder or defender to balance the game but now this is not valid anymore so I hope the coach goes all in by changing his scheme to play in the most attacking mode as Lautaro and Dzeko have been on fire lately and they can manage to score at least an equalizer in such a short time that remains.

[Cookdata]

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.

The moment Inter was supplied with red card, I knew they were doom already, Skriniar has left them with two defenders, that are not enough to protect them from the pressure of Empoli because from Empoli last few matches, they are balling hard and they also seems hungry to go harder in their standings. Only grace will save Inter because they can’t be playing attacking and be defending with the few men they have, they are outnumber and out pressure.

But what would happen if Inter had to lose their home match today. Inter had to play with 10 men since Milan Škriniar's red card in the first half. While this time Empoli managed to steal a goal against Inter that put it 0-1 up, and Paolo Zanetti will probably be hoping for a good defense for the rest of the match.

I think Inter will lose this match because Empoli only need a few more minutes to end the match with win. And this is really a loss for Inter after playing very well against Milan in the Italian Super Cup final.

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.

I was very surprised yesterday because seeing the position of Juventus dropped very much until the tenth, with decreased points. I thought that it was a mistake. But after reading the news, I understood enough that they got a punishment deducting 15 Points because of their financial misconduct. But they still have the opportunity to appeal against the decision. Moreover, as you said, Juventus has experienced bad match results currently because they fought against the big clubs. But if they are able to always win in the next matches, their position may be better soon. This will be more interesting again to see how the Serie A standing will be until the end of this season. I am sure that right now, the goal of Juventus is at least to come back to the top 5 at least, better for the top 4 to be able to do Champions League.

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.

On paper, it should be, Inter has a much better squad composition. But they use 3 defenders and 1 got a red card finally. This will not good for Inter with only 10 players. Moreover, Empoli is right now increasing their defense in order to maintain not getting any goal from Inter. They only need a few times again to win this match against Inter. Now has been 90+2 and the result Inter vs Empoli is 0 - 1

Only grace will save Inter because they can’t be playing attacking and be defending with the few men they have, they are outnumber and out pressure.

The match is almost over, no chance for Inter Milan to get a point in this situation. With the red card, they miss 1 player, and even worse it is one of their key players. It is too bad for Inter Milan that they missed a point at home, I don't know why Inter Milan has so bad luck today. Empoli players played surprisingly, they played aggressively and with confidence. Inter Milan players look very difficult to get good opportunities to score in this situation. I assume Inter Milan will miss a point today, they are defeated at home.

Inter Milan just cost me alot of cash. I never believed inter Milan are going to lose this match and have trusted them after the victory they had over ac milan and now they have dissapointed me. It was from the very beginning of the match when the line up came when the inter Milan coach benched the  two Striker that i knew this game will be difficult for inter milan, i knew something was wrong and to make things really worst inter were given red card in the first half meaning it will be only a miracle for them to win and now they have finally lost the game 0-1. Empoli totally outplayed inter Milan in the second half, having so many attempts to score a goal and they manage to utilize one and won the game.

Empoli having a point below Inter gave me surprise in defeating Inter,  many people didn't expect the outcome of the game will come out this way. The game was very tough for inter that they couldn't control the  game.

my prediction was very wrong, I thought Inter will manage to keep a hold on this match even with a red card but things were so different in the 2nd half, Empoli took control and were able to score the winner, but I would say that this loss doesn't affect Inter that much, but winning could have made them more comfortable to qualify for CL next season.

[Velvet78]

Skriniar was to blame in this game I'm afraid. His being shown two yellow cards brought their end. Actually Inter still found many chances to score but they weren't good at finding the target. They had only 1 shot on target out of 16 goal attempts. Empoli are one of the good teams to benefit from such situations. They got a really valuable win for themselves in a tough game like this.

This loss must have made especially Milan and Roma happy. Milan are still one point ahead of Inter with a game missing. Roma have caught up with Inter as well.

Inter Milan's defeat in this match is indeed very unfortunate and also makes Inter Milan have to stay in third place in the standings without being able to shift AC Milan for a while. Because AC Milan still hasn't played its 19th match this season and in the near future everyone will see how AC Milan plays at Lazio. And if AC Milan is unable to win in that match, then Napoli will benefit even more with the number of point gaps that are already very large for now.

This defeat was inseparable from Milan Skriniar's mistake with his red card. Playing with 10 players is obviously difficult even though Inter are still able to keep up, it's still very difficult.
This condition was put to good use by Empoli because they were clearly a bit better when Inter were short on players.
In the end Inter was stuck shifting Milan in position and the competition for 2nd place is now getting tougher because Milan in 2nd position is only 4 points different from Lazio who is in 6th at the moment of course Inter, Napoli, Atalanta and Lazio still have the same chance even though with the current conditions Napoli is clearly still very far away.

It was an unexpected results as I call it to see inter Milan losing at home to empoli, but we attribute it to red card being shown to inter player but inter was not tactical enough to defend this match to a draw finish, I must say that we should expect the game of football  to be like this since it has been defined as an unforseen circumstance, be it as it may the winner has emerge in the game so the loser should work hard so that the mistake won't repeat itself again.

Even with the red card i didn't expected inter to lose against empoli, i think with this result the team lost all hope for the trophy and they must focus now on getting a champoins league spot and the competition will not be easy because Atalanta and roma will not making it easy

Everyone is blaming the red card earned by Inter for their defeat which is partially true but not only the unique cause. Inter didn't scored in the first half before the red card was taken. They had opportunity at the second half that was missed so it is normal to be under pressure and lose the game for that.. They lost it psychologically before losing it for real in my opinion.

I agree with you, i even think that red cards don't change many things in modern football, the team shot just one time on goal in the whole match and that's really terrible for a club like inter, this also proof that their problem wasn't in the Red card but the team wasn't mentally ready for this match

That's skriniar's fault. How the hell he was kicking caputo's head which is a serious offence. I meant he can use his head instead of his leg to get the ball. He was making inter played with only 10 players. Empoli didn't waste golden opportunity and tried to win against intermilan by making a goal.
Intermilan shall have blamed skriniar for his fault. He was trying to use his head instead of his leg. This bad result for inter was coming from skriniar.

I was very confident Inter will going to win this match before because their recent performance looks very impressive and i  thought the duet between Dzeko and Martinez will be played since early minutes but i don't know why seems Inzaghi have other consideration by putting Dzeko on the bench even in the first half Empoli was performing better than Inter and they got several attempts to scoring goals more than Inter and after skriniar got red card everything looks very hard for them because Empoli has successfully to pressed Inter not to playing attacking and this result is very extremely unfavorable for Inter because 13 difference points with first position makes them hard to pursuing Napoli

Many people predicted victory for Inter Milan but the match later turned for the favour of Empoli, because of the red card given to Inter Milan player at 40 minutes in the first half that gave Empoli more strength to reduced Inter Milan strength . Despite the red card given to Inter Milan player, they still made all their position strong for Empoli players not to achieve many goals from them, and they made it happened at the end of the match by allowed Empoli to achieved only one goal from the match. I think, Inter Milan will not allow such mistakes to happen in their next match so that it will not make them to drop down from third position in the Italian league table than to drag the second position with AC Milan.

[3meek]

I certainly expected Empoli to score a goal or a draw, but in general I had no doubt that Inter would win... But the red card decided the match... I'm also surprised by the kicking stats... Empoli have almost as many of them as Inter...
