Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Leviathan.007]

Napoli needs to maintain its performance in the next 4 matches. If they manage to get 12 points from these 4 matches, I'm sure that Napoli can claim champion status when the matches in this season leave 5 matches. Even though Napoli has won champion status, we will see how the race between the top 2 to top 7 fights for the best position until the end of the season. I think Juventus still has a chance to get into 4th place in the final standings even though it's difficult. Because the point gap with Inter is only 6 points, and Inter's performance is very unstable at the moment, that is the reason why I predict this potential, even though there are still Atalanta and Roma waiting to shifted when inter lose again.

I think the defeat against milan yesterday will make Napoli even better in the next game because of course they don't want to lose their winning streak, on the one hand Napoli also have to prepare for a meeting with Milan in the UCL quarter-finals of course their focus will be divided, but I sure that with a very long distance of points, of course Napoli can claim to win the Italian league this season

The game against AC Milan was a good chance for Napoli because they are going to face AC Milan in the champions league in a few weeks and if they lose the game in Serie A they have the chance to know their weakness and try to do some rework and get better results because even if Napoli loses other games in Serie A nothing will change for them and they still win the title of this season.

Juventus Inter will be played again this evening but this time is for Coppa Italia.

1st leg will be played in Turin, and the second one will be played ion Milan.

well this is the Coppa Italia semi-final match which will be quite interesting. but to be honest, matches in the Coppa Italia are always more difficult to predict than in Serie A. And the first leg will indeed be held at home to Juventus, namely at the Allianz Stadium (Turin). so I think it makes more sense to bet on Juventus. because normally Juventus will be the underdog in this match. but as I said the Coppa Italia is always more difficult to predict.

Napoli is going to focus on the Champions League primarily and they have worked hard the whole season to get into that position. The loss won't bother them at all, but it was a big win for AC Milan and their fight for the qualifiers for next season. Especially after not winning for three games this was even more important. If Inter Milan weren't so weak for the last five games, AC Milan could be a bit in trouble now.

Now in their home game AC Milan has a great chance to collect some important points when Lazio meets Juventus Turin. All those teams ranked 3 to 6 dropped so many points in such an important phase of this season. That's the only reason why Juventus is still in the game for the European tournament qualifications.

The game against AC Milan was a good chance for Napoli because they are going to face AC Milan in the champions league in a few weeks and if they lose the game in Serie A they have the chance to know their weakness and try to do some rework and get better results because even if Napoli loses other games in Serie A nothing will change for them and they still win the title of this season.

Do you think that this is such a tricky move from Spalletti, who decided to lose this match on purpose to give Milan false confidence that they could beat Napoli so confidently? Who knows how it really is, but according to the results of this match, I can say that now for me the advantage of Napoli in the Champions League quarter-finals does not seem as obvious as it was before. Napoli is still the favorite in this pair, but Milan also still have chances.

Sacrificing the team to hide the strategy is quite unfortunate, but if Napoli continues to play with the maximum style of play then I'm sure Napoli will not lose with a score of 4-0. Indeed, I also realize that every team will certainly experience a decline in performance and also experience defeat, but because Napoli lost by a big score, maybe there is something that Napoli did not maximize in yesterday's match against Milan.

So yes, let's look forward to their final results in the Champions League, because if I consider their record so far then of course Napoli still has a big chance to beat Milan. But, if surprises can still happen and can be obtained by Milan, then maybe Napoli will fall in that phase.

If I look at Napoli's match schedule, then Napoli's next four matches will be against several weak teams and maybe the opponent that is quite tough for them will be against Juventus later. Against Lecce, Verona and Salertinata I really believed that Napoli would be able to win this game. Looking at the competition in the top 4 of the standings, it seems that Lazio, Juventus and Atalanta will fill the slots of the 3 teams (I don't count Napoli because they will definitely win the Scudetto this season). As for Milan, Inter and Roma, I don't see the big names as they will be able to occupy the top 4 positions at the end of the season.

[KTChampions]

The only thing that surprised me in this game was the score, the very fact of defeat does not mean anything - Napoli have long secured the title of Serie A, so betting on them should be treated with caution and it is better to avoid.
For me, a much more shocking result on the tour was the defeat of Inter - now they are out of the top 4. There are 10 games ahead, but with Inter pretty strong competitors + Juventus rising from the depths, it's highly likely that they won't make it to the Champions League next year.

Indeed, the results of the score look very strange, how is it possible that Napoli, who have performed so optimally in all matches, can concede so many goals from a team that is currently in poor form? Moreover, this is a home defeat that makes the fans must be very disappointed. For Inter I can't say anything else, they are the worst of the worst, how is it possible for a big team in Serie A to have consecutive losing streaks and compared to Juventus they have continued to win from the mid-table until now they are starting to become a threat serious for the other participants in the top 4 standings.

This is mind games. Napoli forced Milan to spend their entire supply of goals before the Champions League games   Remember what happened to Liverpool after they beat United 7-0? It's the same pattern.
By the way, the quotes for the Champions League games have not changed in any way from this result:

UEFA Champions League 2022/23 - SSC Napoli reach the Semi-Final?

Yes 1.57

No 2.25

Napoli remained a big favorite and I'm sure the Champions League games will be very different from this unnecessary (for Napoli) game.

Pogba again is missing

I think Di Maria and Vlahovic are enough to make a difference in this game despite not being shown yet as the result is still 0-0 when just less than 10 minutes before we end the first half and the game looks on equal terms.Of course if Pogba were to be in the field it would make Juventus much more dangerous,history is just not with Juventus in this encounter as the last two years Juventus was beaten by Inter during the Italian Cup games but nevertheless I think the fact that they won all their last recent games is encouraging to at least win this first leg against Inter and then play it all in Milan in the return leg.

[Distraction]

The current Coppa Italia match going on between Juventus and Inter reminds me of their latest head-to-head which was in the Serie A.

In that match also Inter seemed superior to their opponent in terms of the statistics of the match. However Juventus were still the team reaching the victory at the end. Now in this match both teams have the same number of goal attempts though but Inter are superior in ball possession. But just as it was in the previous match it doesn't matter if you have the most ball possession. You need to play smarter than your opponent. Considering Inter's recent form also I think Juventus can get an advantageous result in the first leg.

Pogba again is missing

The first half was quite monotonous for Juventus although there were some good chances for them.
Talking about the midfield though now is good enough but now they need to make some moves with a new formation. 3-5-1-1 is still too difficult to apply in my opinion. Indeed, in this case they can be consistent for attack and defense but this is still not enough.

Pogba isn't even on the bench because he still has to deal with his foot problem.

[giammangiato]

Intermilan didn't have lots of lineups in the attacking lines. I think that the same strategy will be used and lukaku will always be played against juventus. Lukaku has been performing so badly in the last match and that's a fact but we can't deny that if intermilan didn't have lots of backup to replace him as a striker. Juventus has become underrated team after it has got sanctioned. Juventus is coming back stronger right now with so many win streaks that have already been achieved. This gonna be a problem for intermilan.

I see how good juventus is right now. It was winning against intermilan before and allegri knew what's gonna be the weakest spot owned by intermilan. I saw that the consistency of the club has become the main key this season.

The match against fiorentina has been giving a lot of mentality pressure on the lukaku. I hope that will affect his performance with intermilan. Intermilan may not also use him as a starting lineup.
There has been so many criticisms that was going him. It's likely that if intermilan gonna lose against juventus again.

Inter usually play really bad. It managed to lose at home against Fiorentina.
I don't know whether to define Fiorentina as a merit or a demerit of a team that spends a lot of money but doesn't know how to play.

I'm so bad because I always see them complaining, it's always someone else's fault. Instead the cause is themselves

[SquallLeonhart]

In that match Napoli controlled the game and controlled the ball. However, there seems to be a missing piece in Napoli's attack line. while AC Milan managed to play more effectively and lethally. On the other hand, I see that Napoli is not as usual. This match does not seem serious by Napoli. they seem to be saving energy and tactics against AC Milan in the UCL.

It is true that a Milan win will not significantly affect Napoli's title chances this season, but it can have a positive impact on the confidence and morale of Milan's players. Napoli should consider all matches important.

Milans players could have a higher morale, there isn't anything to care about there at all. I mean why would anyone care about that, Napoli is leading, and they are much better, and Osimhen may get back until the UCL game as well, not sure but it is possibility if I am not wrong.

This is why I believe that we shouldn't be shocked about any of this, that seems like a normal situation. Obviously we would all prefer it he league was more fun and all, but it's not, Milan could have won with 10 goals, nobody really cares because Napoli will win, they are the champions, it's done, the league is already over, been over for a few months. They will probably beat them in UCL as well, so no issues there neither.

I think the reason of why Napoli lost this game was mostly because they didn't need to win this game and they didn't need the full points from the game while AC Milan had to get the three points to be at the top of the table in the other hand Napoli had to save some potential for the champions league as their main goal because they are going to face AC Milan again in the champions league in a more important match.

[coinlocket$]

Only 1-1 in the end and we got a rumble with 3 red cards after the end of the game.

Lukako managed to get a tie for Inter in the overtime, next week next leg

I think Napoli must have the intention to win the match, it seems nonsense that they don't want to win the match. The problem is clear, it is because Osimhen couldn't play at that match, so Napoli didn't perform as usual (their attacking is decreasing its power). While AC Milan could play with a full team, and they also have a big motivation to win to maintain their position in the top 4 (UCL zone). In this matter, AC Milan has an advantage that Napoli missed the main striker (Osimhen), AC Milan becomes more motivated to play and finally they can win with big scores. However, I agree that Napoli seems to focus on UCL, they may play with a different tactic in UCL match.

Was looking out for Juventus to win this game but instead they game ended 1-1 draw, Juventus have not been at there best the season, same with Inter Milan, so if we come we look at the result of the game, is a fair result, because both teams has be poor this season, this is the only title both can fight for at the moment, despite Juventus being in the European League and Inter Milan being in the champions League, I think those tittles are out of their reach, because we have so many good teams in both compitetion. So the only means of winning a trophy this season I think is the coppa Italian.

I don't think that Spalletti purposely played a mind game and sacrificed a match he's supposed to win just give his opponents false confidence then must has gotten it wrong because the result of that match will surely gonna have a big psychological effect on both teams. Spalletti still a whole lot of psychological work to do in this his Napoli side to make sure they win the Champions League tie and that he must start doing immediately. Victor Osimhen's injury I think shouldn't keep him out for long so if he returns to the Napoli team before the first leg then there's every possiblity that Napoli will win the tieu

But actually this match will almost be won by Juventus. but Inter Milan were lucky because thanks to Handball the Juventus players in their own penalty box. finally Lukaku was able to use it as a goal through a pretty good penalty kick with a little trick that could outwit M. Perin. even so a draw is indeed more appropriate for this fight. because both of them feature very interesting games.
