Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[coinlocket$]

Milan lost and this confirms one thing.
Only Napoli is a decent team this year; the other teams are mediocre and can't beat weak teams.

It will be interesting if they don't revoke the illegal Juventus penalty.

AC Milan had such a poor performance in this game. I expected more of the team but, for my standard and how high I had placed them, they underperformed and didn't do much like a team that had any thought of winning against Fiorentina.

On Friday, Napoli lost to Lazio, and today Milan lost to Fiorentina. That was unexpected by Milan, but that's what one gets for betting on only one option out of trust in a team. Milan messed up my bet just as Napoli did. Monza has played well and defended their home, managing two goals against Empoli. I just thought Milan could do better today.

I assume Inter would manage to take back the second position from Lazio tomorrow. Lecce aren't a match for them on paper. They don't have a good form that can motivate them against Inter to resist solidly. Inter got an unexpected loss against Bologna the last time indeed but this is an opportunity to make up for that. I don't doubt especially Inter attackers to be effective in this game.

As Milan lost their game as well this is a chance for Inter to get away from them too. Inter still seem a bigger candidate than Milan for the second position.

Yes that's what i believe too, inter will not find any difficulties to get the 3 points against lecce and get back the second position, but they need to be focused and not underestimate their oppenet, they lost the previous match against a weak team and i don't think this will happen again today

I would say this is an unexpected result. Napoli was favorites in this match. And Napoli's overall performance was much better than Lazio's. But even then, Napoli lost the home match. I watched the match. I never once felt Napoli's performance was poor. Napoli performed as in previous matches. Lazio's goalkeeper Provedel's performance in this match impressed me. He made some great saves. Also, Lazio's defense was very strong in this match. Maybe Lazio's aim was perhaps to draw the match goalless and share the points. But Matias Vecino's goal achieved them full points in the match.

Luck was with Aquilotti in that match, even though Napoli played more promisingly and appeared to press in the early minutes, Lazio managed to build a strong defense, forcing Victor Osimhen not to move freely and not many shot attempts were made by Napoli in this match. Lazio managed to distance themselves from AC Milan and Roma in this match, thereby placing them in the number two position in the standings. Matias Vecino impressed in this match, while scoring one goal for Lazio's victory.

Playing as the host and in front of all his supporters, of course, Intermilan will give their best game when they host Lecce later. Inter Milan is doing this with the mission of getting back up after last weekend's defeat to Bologna. Lazio's victory yesterday against Napoli put them in second place in the standings, I think it won't last long on paper Intermilan can take over second place in the standings by beating Lecce later, my prediction is Intermilan winning 2 - 0 and I'm betting on that.

Napoli lost points against Lazio. Other teams have opportunities to close the points gap with Napoli. But they can't. The AC Milan team lost against Fiorentina. If they win this match, they have a chance to move to second place in the points table. Inter Milan will play against Lecce today. If Inter Milan wins the match they will move to second place in the points table.

Monza played very well against Empoli. Their gameplay was very organized. Although they reduced the attack, their performance was stable. They were aware of the opponent's weaknesses. And so Monza had no problem winning the match.

[G_Besar]

Milan were doing really good before by maintaining a winning streak. It was important for them to recover again but now this is a really big hit to their streak.

Previously AC Milan was able to show very good performance. Milan always wins and they also never concede a goal. However, Milan's strong defense became fragile in front of Fiorentina. In this match La Viola also performed very well and they deserved three points.

For AC Milan, this defeat has kept them stuck in 4th position. Of course, this position is not completely safe, because Roma will always spread threats and they also have the chance to take over the champions league zone position if the Rossoneri appear inconsistent again.

This season Milan looks to have difficulty competing at the top flight, this must of course be an important note for Milan Management to overhaul its squad next season. Especially up front, the Rossoneri need a new sticker, Milan can't just rely on Olivier Giroud in attack. Giroud's coating has not been convincing enough. Origi and Ibrahimovic are too old and they can no longer contribute to the team.

Hope your bet wins.

Fiorentina - Milan  => AC Milan
Milan need to win for stay near Champions League spot

Sassuolo - Cremonese => Cremonese
this is the high risk game, i need 3 game..

This is what makes me a little hesitant even though AC Milan is in an effort to shift Inter in second place. On the other hand, AC Milan's statistics in away matches are not so smooth this season. AC Milan also lost Leao in this match due to card accumulation.

My doubts about AC Milan were proven last night when AC Milan only managed to pull one goal back in the final minute (90+5).
The front line of Stefano Pioli's squad is far from expectations. They only managed 8 shoots or half of Fiorentina's total shoots throughout the match.
That means your bet lost this week my friend.

Instead of staying close to the Champions, now their rivals (Inter Milan) have a chance to get away from them as Inter Mikan will face Lecce at the Giuseppe Meazza and have a good chance of winning.

[shinratensei_]

The first half was horrible for Milan but they have had a much better half in the second one. However Fiorentina's goal came in the same half also which has made things really difficult for Milan.

Milan was so weak during the first and second half. The defenders are always making blunders by leaving their position and going forward. If you are aware there would always be only two defenders available to prevent counter attack by fiorentina. it's not enough to prevent fiorentina to make goals. I do like the first goal celebration by fiorentina.

The second goal was happening caused by there were only two players who must be faced a fast counter-attack by fiorentina. The defenders have become the main problem for ac milan. Acmilan's defenders are playing so bad by always leaving their positions.

It is still 1-0 and we are in the last 15-minute period of the game now. I was waiting for a challenging game though just as bookmakers did. But I was still believing in Milan not to lose at least after starting to improve their form lately. But they are just desperately trying to score the equalizer now. There hasn't been much time since Ibrahimovic took Giroud's place in the game. I wonder if he can be the game changer. But they are really feeling the absence of Leao right now.

AC milan must admin if its club was playing so bad even though some players got golden opportunity like giround but that's not enough to make the club able to win against fiorentina.

Inter has losing points from Bologna before so they have to utilized this match to bounce back and earn 3 points and actually it's not hard for them to beat Lecce because Lecce performance were quite poor and they had passed 8 matches with only gets 2 wins

But it is confirmed Inter will losing Federico Dimarco and Milan Skriniar and other players such as Matteo Darmian probably can be replace their positions because this player can be played from different position and for Lecce this team will losing Federico Baschirotto because of suspension and this would be big lost for Lecce considering he is Lecce key player and probably Inter will going to win the match because if we compared from squad conditions Inter is more good than Lecce and Inter has odds @1.40

I have no doubts about Inter Milan's victory in this weekend's match, Lecce is not a difficult opponent for Inter Milan, even though Inter Milan has been inconsistent so far, Lecce is worse than that, this is a match between two teams with different qualities.
odds @1.40 for Inter Milan's win is quite decent because the percentage of possible wins is quite big for them.

and in another match AC Milan surprisingly lost this week and so of course it will be very profitable for Inter Milan to be able to keep the distance of points on the standings board, this opportunity must be utilized properly by Inter Milan.

[Polkeins]

With the way Roma have been playing lately 2nd place seems too high for them, Lazio with its game deserves 2nd place more than Roma.

The game against Napoli was a good example of how the team conceding possession of the ball competently builds strategy on the counterattack and pressing, not to let Napoli turn around as quickly as possible to cover players and in general Lazio managed it. All this eventually resulted in a great goal by Matias Vesino, I think even Napoli fans have to agree that the goal was very beautiful.

Right now, situation is very interesting at top of Italian League as we have now five teams for the top four spots with most chances all will be fight hard until end of this season because Lazio's yesterday win is surely game changer for them and now with this win they can stay in top four, and we can have few interesting changes in other spots Roma is going to face Juventus which is also giving their best for having some positive end of this season after deduction of 15 points and as they are playing most chances they could be able to touch fifth spot in near future with top four is still not easy for them but as we have unpredictable results any surprise can happen.

AC Milan which was having good time in early rounds right now in trouble for staying into top four and this could be good for the Roma otherwise for me there is no chance for them to be entered into top four.

I agree that Serie A has become the most interesting top championship, where each team can give a surprise, the leader can lose to an outsider and vice versa, any outsider can beat any team or play a draw.
Serie A has become similar to the English Premier League or La Liga. Competition for the 2nd place is crazy right now and any team from the top 6 in theory can become the 2nd team with good luck, and can on the contrary fly down. For a long time I do not remember such a tight fight at the top of the standings.
Napoli, of course, with a 90% probability is already champion, but then it is not clear at all.

The only thing that upsets, some matches are very similar to "arranged", especially when the leaders like Juventus, Roma, Inter, Atalanta, suddenly start to be weird in some match and lose or play in a draw with an obvious outsider, while the following matches in the League of Europe or the Champions League, they play normally and quietly win.

Judging from his condition, on paper, Inter is currently much better because if you look at H2H, the condition of the players and the club's performance, it is clear that Inter is the favorite in this match.
it's not impossible to see that from the goal ratio of 2.74 per match in this match, Inter can also create conditions where they can crush Lecce with more than 2 goals.

I think the chance is still very big, especially now that Lazio has made enough of a surprise by being immediately in position 2 and Inter clearly cannot allow this.

We still cannot be sure about the game between Lecce and Inter Milan because during the recent matches, we saw much odd stuff happen so maybe even betting on Lecce can be risky but it will grant much more rewards. But still, Inter Milan is racing at the top of the table and during the previous five games they had won all the games except one draw and one loss while also in the last match between these two teams, Inter won the game with a 2-1 result.

Fiorentina took home an important win.  First of all, they should be congratulated.  Milan suffered a loss in the three-point week, repeating their volatile situation in recent weeks.  They could have boosted some morale by winning the week Napoli lost points.

Nothing change for the gap between napoli and ac milan. Intermilan has not yet played the 25th game. i expect intermilan will win against lecce but seeing the result from last match against bologna makes me feel doubt to bet on milan. Intermilan looks still very promising compared with bologna but the chance for lose is still quite big. Lecce is far compared with bologna and i think that must be the main reason to bet in intermilan rather than lecce.
Lecce will lose full points again.

[Mustang Shelby]

Napoli maybe dominated that match statistically but it isn't always enough for a win either. Lazio have proven once more that they are one of the teams that can deal with high pressure. Because I wasn't giving them any chance after seeing how Napoli were superior to them there. But this loss doesn't matter very much for Napoli as well. They are already far ahead of every team in the standings and they are clearly the champions already.

Besides I still expect Napoli to continue on their wins against smaller teams. This was their second big match in the league that they lost too so there is no problem at all.

Napoli offers a truly mind-blowing attack game, it's incredible how they manage to attack constantly for 90 minutes of play, but last night they also had a lot of bad luck, and Lazio played a very good game especially in defence. However, it was foreseeable that Napoli would now let go a bit since they still have a good margin of advantage over the second in the standings which is now Lazio themselves at -17 points

Napoli may have lost the game, but they were the sole control of the game from start to finish.  Lazio managed to score in one of their rare attacks.  They managed to preserve it.  It is really difficult to defend against Napoli.  They give all their strength to the match and continue to attack from all four sides.  They do not stop for a moment.

Napoli won't be in too much trouble after losing against Lazio. Because Napoli are still at the top of the points table. The Napoli team will play more cautiously in the next matches in order to keep the points at the top of the table.

Milan messed up my bet just as Napoli did. Monza has played well and defended their home, managing two goals against Empoli. I just thought Milan could do better today.

Those matches make the race for top four becomes more exciting. Lazio secure their position in top four but AC Milan will have risk to be out of it after this match day. Today will be a big match between AS Roma and Juventus. If Roma win, they will take over a  fourth position of AC Milan. If Juventus win at their home stadium, they will reduce their gap with top four and light up their hope to participate in top four in very late of the season.

Napoli lost points against Lazio. Other teams have opportunities to close the points gap with Napoli. But they can't. The AC Milan team lost against Fiorentina. If they win this match, they have a chance to move to second place in the points table. Inter Milan will play against Lecce today. If Inter Milan wins the match they will move to second place in the points table.

In this season, Napoli have very stable outstanding form that is opposite with other clubs so one loss from Napoli can not help other clubs make any change in the Scudetto race. They are weaker than Napoli and have to accept that Scudetto belongs to Napoli in this season.

This season can be terrible for AC Milan who currently hold the title but are facing risk to be fallen out of top four. The race is very competitive and no guarantee that AC Milan will be able to end with a position in top four.
