Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Raflesia]

The second half entered the final minutes and Roma were still ahead by 1 goal scored by Gianluca Mancini. It looks like this 1 goal will be the end for the big match this time as well as stopping the series of 4 wins from Juventus. Even though what Juventus showed in this match was quite good with ball possession and opportunities, Roma were also very disciplined in this match. On the other hand, Juventus also had no choice but to fire a shot from outside the penalty box because they could not break through the dense defense of Roma.

Juventus put forth a valiant effort, but in the end Roma emerged victorious. The match was very entertaining and featured numerous effective attacks from both teams, but Juventus's were the most dangerous with attacks. Because of the defensive pattern of Roma,  I know as well that it will be difficult for juventus to score goals. So I did not anticipate any additional goals.now Roma and AC Milan both have same points, according to the table, Roma is maintaining its fourth place due to goals differences.milan really disappointed me yesterday because I was not expecting them to lose.

Even so they still fail now. his condition was a little worse because they also lost Kean in this match due to being sent off by the referee. This is actually very regrettable, even though I know he is a young player and is still easily provoked by emotions, but his red card was actually unnecessary because precisely with his actions after the violation, this actually cost the team itself.

[Rabi3]

It was a much better game for Juventus in general actually. Especially the second half was under Juventus' domination but this wasn't still enough for any point. That goal by Mancini was enough for Roma to get the 1-0 win there. This must be a really frustrating loss for Juventus as a result. Because they were having a really good time period in the league. But the winning streak was until this game I'm afraid.

There was a chance for Juventus to catch up with Atalanta more as well actually. Because Atalanta lost points against Udinese this time.

Juventus are done this season, it must be so discouraging to keep playing when your team got 15 points deducted, As Roma wanted that win more to jump to the 4th position, I'm favoring them to finish in top 4 over Ac milan, Lazio and Inter.

Really an unecessary red card for juventus.

They are getting far away from the champions league ... while as roma getting comfortable at the top 4 for a while now , as usual a negative football style from jose mourinho , having only a couple attempts only ... as roma successfully converted it into a goal and win it in style.

Roma only managed to get a 1-0 win over Juventus, They should still have the opportunity to make a draw, but the time is gone so that Juventus cannot get the opportunity to reply and make a draw. Too bad Juventus may not be able to enter the top five of the standings.

Actually, even though they managed to win them, they would not be able to immediately be in the top 5, but with this uncertainty their points were a little disturbed. Even though they were in a positive trend but defeat in this match clearly changed their condition. But even so my hope remains that they can get back points in the upcoming match. Their opponent is Sampdoria, I don't think it will be too difficult even though they have to think of ways to face Freiburg first.

It would be a joke if the sanction will be lifted after Juventus appeal. It's very slim chance for Juventus to succeed with their appeal to revert that point deduction. I have never seen any club successfully appeal their sanctions after all. Especially if punishments are point deductions, not financial charges or restrictions on eligibility on transfer market or being eligible as a representative of a national league in Europe like Champions League or Europa League.

Yes, this case really shouldn't be compared. Whatever the reasons for Juventus to appeal, if it is accepted and the point deduction is reverted, the Italian League will be tarnished for the second time after the biggist Calciopoli case involving several Serie-A clubs. It will no longer be fair if cheating is pardoned. Even though I said it would be interesting if Juventus got their points back but I and all Serie-A fans will definitely not accept that decision.

[rendravolt]

Inter managed to secure 3 points at home against Lecce and this result made them shift back to Lazio's position which was previously in 2nd place in the standings. Statistically, Inter really dominated the match and 4 shots on target resulted in 2 goals for Inter's victory.

Meanwhile, today's big game, Roma successfully beat Juventus at the Olimpico stadium with a narrow score of 1-0. In this match Gianluca Mancini became the hero for Rome's victory through his hard kick from outside the box in 53 minutes. This result made Roma climb back into the top 4 of the standings and have the same points with Milan.

[Swordsoffreedom]

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.

Napoli's defeat did not affect their position in the points table. Despite the defeat against Lazio, the Napoli team is 15 points ahead of Inter Milan. And to close this 15-point gap, Napoli needs to lose 5 matches and Inter Milan needs to win all the next matches. It seems almost impossible. Because Napoli is a very strong and consistent team.

AC Milan's performance has been erratic. If they want to qualify for the Champions League, they will definitely have to play better. Several teams are fighting to qualify for the Champions League. So if Milan drops a point in any match they will be relegated. AC Milan is now fifth in the points table due to the defeat in the last match.

[LUCKMCFLY]

No problems today for Inter Milan in their home game against Lecce. But that does not say much, the most important games are still to come and then we will see where Inter really stands. The top in Italy is also very wide. The top 10 in it we see many teams that can all handle the level of the CL, for example. In which league besides England could we say more? With that background information, we can perhaps conclude that the Italian league is the strongest league in the world overall?

Inter is a team that is very difficult for them to lose concentration, they are very clear about what they want, they obviously want to finish second in Serie A because they want to qualify for the UCL, but there is great competition here, the Players from the other teams don't want to leave anything for free, they all want to qualify, I'm surprised that Roma have not manifested themselves as they should, Mou is a very intelligent technical director, surely he already has a good plan, I would like to see the Roma in the UCL, they really deserve it, and since it's football anything can happen, we have to keep waiting to see what all of this comes out with.

So if Milan drops a point in any match they will be relegated. AC Milan is now fifth in the points table due to the defeat in the last match.

AC Milan falls to a fifth position even they have same point as AS Roma but with a little less goal difference. The top four race looks like to have less competitors after this week. Atalanta and Juventus mostly said good bye to the race especially Juventus.

The race is still opened for all clubs from Inter Milan, Lazio, Roma and AC Milan. Atalanta still have chance but if they continue bad form, they will see that chance vanishes soon.

You can't blame Mourinho and you should actually not really call it a bad style. I know what you mean for sure, but the thing is that Mourinho is known for his style for decades now. No team should ever be surprised anymore by the way his teams play.

If Mourinho did not let his teams play attacking football with so many star players in Real Madrid, Inter Milan, Chelsea, Manchester United and Tottenham, it's unrealistic to want him doing this in Roma with very limited player resource.

I don't understand why they let Zaniolo go to Turkey and why that player chose to move like this. It is better for Italy and himself if he continues in Roma or moves to another Italian club.

[Prince Malik]

The deffrence between malin the 5th and inter the second is just 3 points, it seems that the competition this year for champoins league spots will be dramatic, all teams surely don't want to play the European league next year so they will do the impossible to secure a UCL spot, i expect very hard competition in the next few matches

And to close this 15-point gap, Napoli needs to lose 5 matches and Inter Milan needs to win all the next matches. It seems almost impossible. Because Napoli is a very strong and consistent team.

So if Milan drops a point in any match they will be relegated. AC Milan is now fifth in the points table due to the defeat in the last match.

It is very difficult to catch Napoli's points for the challengers behind it, a 15 point advantage is not a small number to chase, while the second and third standings challengers cannot lose a single game in the remaining matches and that means that the chances of Inter Milan and Lazio are very small. It is almost impossible to beat Napoli with that many points and the assumption of 5 defeats is also not guaranteed. Milan's opportunity to qualify for the Champions League is still quite open, because they only have one to two points difference from Roma and Lazio, I still doubt Lazio even though they are currently in third place in the standings.

[X-ray]

Roma only managed to get a 1-0 win over Juventus, They should still have the opportunity to make a draw, but the time is gone so that Juventus cannot get the opportunity to reply and make a draw. Too bad Juventus may not be able to enter the top five of the standings.

It doesn't matter how many goals being made by roma and 1-0 is more than enough for roma. Roma was stealing full points from juventus which mean if roma was playing better than juventus. Glad to see that if juventus was losing in the match against roma.

There are 12 points gap. These gaps will be so difficult to be reached if juventus got lose. The chance is small but it's still there. I think that ac milan needs to maintain its position by winning more and more match. Juventus has no choice other than focusing into the upcoming match. Juventus will be also playing in europa league against weak tea. UCL has become a priority for juventus to got the end of this season.

Roma was always under pressure but with only a few chances and roma was not missing an opportunity to win the game. The mentality owned by roma's players are very strong against juventus.

it is now a certain fact that Napoli has already won the championship! for inter there is only one very small chance left, that napoli lose all 5 direct matches against milan atalanta juventus rome and inter, but it is unlikely to happen, inter should no longer lose a single game. AC Milan will play until the end for access to the Champions League in the fight against Roma, Atalanta and Juventus

0-0 1st half between Roma and Juventus not so many occasions.

Only 1 shot was dangerous with a post hitten by Rabiot.

Pogba should enter soon, probably around 65'

Roma defeat Juventus 1-0  to prove to people that they still remain among the strong teams in this season. Despite, some changes Juventus coach made that make Pogba to enter in the second half, Roma still continue to make things difficult for Juventus players not to achieve a single goal from the match because they were fully prepared for the match. Juventus displayed well in their last match that made them to achieved many goals to defeated their opponent but Roma used the period to study the tactics they used to achieved all those goals, to ensure there will not be such opportunity for Juventus players which they did from the beginning of the match till the end of the match.

The difference in points between Atalanta and Juventus is only 7 points. and there are still many matches to be played so I think Juventus still have a chance to overtake Atalanta. even though Juventus lost to Roma in this match and failed to get points but in the next match Juventus will definitely be able to get the victory back.

because the next opponent that Juventus will face is Sampdoria. So that Juventus have the opportunity to get full points back. and For Atalanta it seems that the next match will be the toughest match for them. because in the next match Napoli is ready to confront them. and if Atalanta loses points in this match then Juventus will get closer to it.

AS Roma does have the opportunity to continue to compete at the top of the standings, but sometimes the Giallorosi's performances are very disappointing and they very often throw away chances to win when dealing with mediocre teams, as last week they had to swallow the bitter pill to lose to Cremonese.

The narrow victory over Juventus is certainly something that is very important for Roma to maintain their hopes of qualifying for the Champions League next season. In that match the Old Lady was indeed able to control the game and often terrorized the host's defense, but luckily Rui Patricio performed several miracles.

[Strongkored]

I would like to see the Roma in the UCL, they really deserve it, and since it's football anything can happen, we have to keep waiting to see what all of this comes out with.

Currently the result of the victory from Juventus has made Roma able to be in 4th place but there are still a lot of matches left, anything is still very possible, moreover, ranks 2 to 5 have a very thin point difference, which is why every week we will always see changes, especially fourth these teams often get results that are different from what was predicted, Inter and AC Milan can lose to any team as well as Rome can lose to the team that is at the bottom also Lazio who is able to beat Napoli so changes in ranking except for the first position we will always see every time week's game is over

There are still plenty of games for this season. we will see these teams rotate their positions in the standings. the difference is still minimal, and their inconsistent appearance of them that makes them finally have to compete strictly to get the top 4 positions.
At the season's end, Lazio may be knocked out of the top 4. Milan will get 1 place in the Champions League.

This season has really been bad for Juventus,  no stable good performance. It is not surprising roma was able to defeat Juventus. I think Juventus can do more this, they have missed lots of opportunities to be at the top due to their poor performance. Juventus just need to learn to be consistent with good performance.

Torino vs Bologna

If we compared to the recent performance from these team Bologna has slightly better because they can able to earn 6 points from 3 matches and about recent conditions Bologna still cannot played Marko Arnautovic who got long injured but it won't be a problem for them because other player such as Musa Barrow can performing well as Arnautovic replacement and i have to say Barrow had important contribution for Bologna recently

For Torino after faced storm injured this team cannot performing well especially after lost Nikola Vlasic that Torino has passed 2 latest matches without him and they were losing points so after seeing these conditions which is Bologna conditions clearly better than Torino i think Bologna had good opportunities to win the match but probably with slim scores and the odds for Bologna was quite high @3.45
