Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Uruhara]

Lazio won the Lazio-Roma match. Roma's ibanez got an early red card which was bad for Roma. This allowed Lazio to increase the pressure. After a scoreless first half, Lazio started the second half fast again. Lazio won the match 1-0 with a goal in minute 65 and won an important match and got 3 points.
In the last match of the day, we watched the Inter-Juventus match. Although Inter got into goal positions, they could not find a goal. The hosts had more possession but it was Juventus who scored. Juventus got 3 points from an important away match. They reduced the points difference with Atalanta to 4.

Seeing how Juventus fought their way back from the bottom to the top after 15 points were deducted from them due to the sanctions is truly amazing. and now Juventus are starting to approach Atalanta who is ranked 6th. a difference of 4 points will really threaten Atalanta's position. with 10 matches remaining then it will be enough for Juventus to return to the top 5 or 6. Even Inter Milan have to admit that their strategy lost yesterday's game. even though Inter dominated more but the completion of their attacks was really bad. while Juventus with so few chances they got, Juventus were able to finish it into a goal.

After impressing in the conference league, now Fiorentina won another victory in the Serie A match against Lecce. Even though the result of the match only ended with a narrow score of 1-0, I think this is pretty good for Fiorentina who want to keep trying to move up to a better position in the standings and one step further they will be able to be just below Juventus, if in the next match Fiorentina can win return.

After some losses and draws, I believe that Forentina is back in form now with their current streak of four straight victories in the league. Because Lecce doesn't have a particularly strong league record, I predicted that Fiorentina would win their match against Lecce yesterday by more than one goal. The next game for Fiorentina is against Inter Milan, and I can say that foirentina will be able to come out with three because I believe that inter Milan will look so strong because they did do well in their last two matches after it victory over Lecce.

Fiorentina suffered injury challenges,  Iquest that also contributed to their deficiency in performance. But now they are all fit and ready for any clash except of the absence of Terzic and Luca Jovic due to abductor muscle tear and fever injury.
Lately,  fiorentina has assembled a good numbers of points and this pushed them to the 9th position after several losses and struggles.  they are on form but the clash with inter Milan ahead will definitely b a difficult moment for them.

[Z-tight]

I didn't expect them to get back up this quick, they definitely benefited from the clash between the top 6 teams, now they really can get up there in the rankings, there are still 11 rounds to be played, a lot can change.

I feel nobody expected Juventus to be where they are now, 15 points is a lot, and to have been deducted of that and yet back to fight for qualification for Europe is a good achievement for Juventus. 11 matches remaining and truly a lot can change, Juventus have to remain strong and continue to win matches, there is still a chance for them and many other teams challenging for the top four, the only thing that is settled is the winners of the Seria A, and that is surely Napoli.

[tygeade]

it is a very unfortunate case but if we can look back, at least before Juventus won 9 consecutive Scudetto. In fact Juventus also had a scandal that made Juventus play in Serie B, but after that Juventus won 9 Scudettos in a row and in fact during that period Juventus really looked clean.

I mean, the bad cases experienced by Juventus are not always attached or do not make Juventus look bad or be suspected. because if the image of Juventus is bad because of the scandal at that time, then Juventus can win 9 Scudettos in a row. Of course, Juventus deserves to be investigated, but so far no one has said that Juventus committed fraud or anything about winning 9 Scudetto in a row.
Therefore, the scandal that Juventus has experienced this season will still not make Juventus' bad image have a negative impact on their performance

The "crime" they had this time around was just not reporting the finances correctly. Did that helped them a bit? Of course it did, but every single win that they won was legit and clean win and nothing else, maybe they would have built a different team because of financial regulations and wouldn't win that much if they were clean on their finances, but after that, they didn't buy any of the wins, they literally won on the field which isn't really that crooked if you ask me.

Plus, having 9 titles in a row gives you a bit of a profit, not many teams could rebuild a team with that much money and still be bad. I think they will recover from this easier than last time.

Juventus team managed to beat inter milan in their own stadium which is an impressive feat even napoli wasn't able to do despite being deprived of fifteen points juventus team managed to close the gap to the sixth position, now only four points separate them from atalanta, this win will give juve a moral boost.

The way things are going in Seria A, Juventus will undoubtedly make it to Europe, even if it's just for the Europa League. In my opinion, if they are only 7 points behind the top four teams, they can even make it to the UEFA Champions League. This means that if they continue their current form, they can make it to the Champions League.

If Juventus work hard to win most of their games they can get to the top 4 positions that will qualify them to participate in the Champions league. I still believe in Juventus that they can be in the fourth position from now till the season.  Juventus as a big team in the league deserve to be in the Champions league.

fiorentina seem to have found their best form in the last 5 matches, even though a few weeks ago they were like a team that had fallen but they were able to get back up in the last 5 matches by winning 4 wins. in the match against Lecce they got lucky because Gallo own goal gave Fiorentina to full points in this match. There is no big enough target for Fiorentina this season because it will be difficult to reach the top 4 if we look at the point difference for now where Fiorentina is 11 points behind the rank 4 teams.

Juventus looks like they will be able to reach the top 4 this season where the victory from Inter Milan made Juventus collect 41 points which is the distance from AC Milan who is ranked 4th 7 points adrift.

Exactly I have the same analysis there is almost no way to displace Napoli from the top of the standings especially when Inter lost today
Napoli is 99% certain to secure the title this season and while fighting for the Champions League Napoli is a team that can go through these 2 competitions without a burden I mean they can share focus on each competition.

We can say Napoli is 100% to win Serie A title this season because no other teams have a chance to pass Napoli points. Napoli played consistently so far, they keep winning the matches. On the contrary, other teams played inconsistently and they too many missed points. This is a contradictory situation, so it is impossible for other teams to chase 19 point gap made by Napoli.

For UCL, Napoli surely has a chance to win it as well. But I think it is a bit difficult because they must fight with stronger teams from other leagues. They can focus on both competitions, but the chance to win in UCL looks smaller than Serie A.

I still believe in Juventus that they can be in the fourth position from now till the season.  Juventus as a big team in the league deserve to be in the Champions league.

Opportunities for Juventus are still open. even the difference in points that Juventus has with AC Milan who are in 4th place at the moment is not that much, namely only 7 points. so if Juventus continues to win in the remaining matches. then of course the opportunity for Juventus is still very large. and the condition of AC Milan is now starting to decline. they continue to repeat mistakes in several matches and this will be an advantage for the teams ranked below AC Milan.

Napoli is favored as they will face either Benfica or either Inter if they qualify against Milan which I think is something doable for them despite Milan having much more experience than them in Champions League as they have won it several times while Napoli has not that big of an experience in this competition.The form of both teams in Italy Serie A is totally different with Milan screwing it up and being in really bad run recently with a draw at home against Salernitana and a lost game this weekend against Udinese while Napoli is crushing every single team and the lost games that they had I think they just didn't care much as the points difference allows them to do what they like.

[emrecemsan]

I don't think so many people are excited about Napoli from now on. I mean of course the supporters are excited because their team are getting close to announcing their championship in the Serie A after 33 years. But I meant that there isn't any title race left now which drops the excitement level of the league a little. But at least there is still a good race for the remaining Champions League spots now. There are so many teams in this competition at the same time.

Even Juventus might have a chance but it isn't a big chance of course. Because there are two teams between their and fourth position and the gap with the fourth team is seven points as well. Even qualifying for a lower European tournament would be nice for them after the punishment though.

Not 10 but 11 remaining matches, and yes they still have a chance to be at least in 5 or 6 position. Because Atalanta also Roma and even Milan have difficulty to get points in their last five matches, there is a possibility of their performance unstable again in 11 remaining matches. Indeed, Juventus very amazing they are really consistently to collect points for better position, Juventus next match will also be against Verona and I hope the home team will get another three points.

Yes it is a bit difficult but Napoli can hope for luck just look at Napoli's next opponent in the Champions League
It was Milan of course they already know how to play against Milan even Napoli have beaten Milan in several matches
I'm sure Napoli compactness can surprise their next opponent.

[Ebede]

In the Italian serie A Napoli has been an exceptional team so far this season their performance but in their league and cahmpions league has placed them very hight this season, this team has been able to top their league in such a way that they can not be dragged back again their weekend match with Torino ended with an excellent result in their favour.

[TopT3ns]

In the next match, Napoli will meet Inter, and they will face each other directly on April 3. This match will probably be won by Napoli because so far Napoli has superior strength to Milan.It can be seen from the last five matches that Milan have only been able to win two matches, so they are very sure that Napoli will easily win this match.

It is very lovely to follow the rivalry for top four in the league now. With Lazio's getting a win over Roma they are the new owner of the second position now. Inter are just the victim of their bad form recently. This was their second loss in a row. Milan also could have benefited from this situation and gone up to the third position as well. But they have been even worse than Inter these days.

Roma are another team in similar situation actually. Only Napoli and Lazio are doing well in the upper positions. Napoli have already finished the season though but this is very important for Lazio on one hand.

If we can resume Serie A in these sentences:
- Napoli: I want to get the scudetto home this season!
- Everyone: sure, go on please, take it.
- Napoli: who will join me in Champions League boys?
- Everyone while pointing their fingers to the others: after you, no after you
Lazio isn't better than the others but teams like Inter and Milan are failing badly..
This season, we have Napoli, Juve, Inter then Lazio as the best teams in this order regardless of their actual ranking.

Therefore, the scandal that Juventus has experienced this season will still not make Juventus' bad image have a negative impact on their performance

Some people thinks that this one very light scandal about financial irregularities and false accounting in relation to historic transfer dealings compared to those previous scandal about calciopoli ... the biggest match fixing in serie a ... could be mean the 9 season consecutive title under investigation ....

But with this light scandal , things covered very well and the fine it's only points deduction. Hard to believe this indeed.

Perfect description, champoins league in the serie A will surely be very though for all clubs and teams need to get the maximum number of points if they want to get a spot next season,  Lazio and inter currently have the advantage but Next rounds we will see many hard matches for both clubs so nothing is guaranteed for any club right now

lazio and napoli are teams that have never been favored since the start of the season in the top 3 but they are doing it well. while Rome, Inter, Juventus and Milan gave a lot of disappointment to their supporters

there are still 10 more matches left, i'm sure lazio will finish in 2nd place until the end of the season

Opportunities for Juventus are still open. even the difference in points that Juventus has with AC Milan who are in 4th place at the moment is not that much, namely only 7 points. so if Juventus continues to win in the remaining matches. then of course the opportunity for Juventus is still very large. and the condition of AC Milan is now starting to decline. they continue to repeat mistakes in several matches and this will be an advantage for the teams ranked below AC Milan.

There are lots of remaining match. Juventus got a very good result against intermilan. That proves that if juventus is really strong even though if it was still placed under intermilan. Juventus was just get sanction that was putting the club into the so many disadvantage but as you said that if juventus could make it to enter into the top 4 for the UCL spots. Juventus is having a very big chance to make it happen.

I think that if juventus is also having another chance to enter UCL by winning europa league too. People may feel doubt about the chance for juventus to play in UCL next season but i strongly believe if juventus is still having chance as long as juventus will be winning rest of matches. Napoli is a winner this season.
