Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Dewi Aries]

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.

You're right Inter Milan were very lucky today the important goal came in the last minute so they still have a chance in the 2nd leg
The second leg will be played on April 27 meaning Inter Milan chances are bigger to get this one trophy or even the only trophy.

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.

The enthusiasm of the AC Milan players must have gotten stronger after they were able to humiliate Napoli in yesterday's match. I was quite surprised by Napoli game because they were so weak without Osimhen present in that match. even this defeat cannot directly convict if ac milan will beat napoli in the ucl match because the champions league will have different nuances of the game from these two teams. This defeat also did not have a bad impact on Napoli because they can already be said to be the team that won the Scudetto title.

I think this is a strategy from Spalletti to see weak gaps in their squad depth so he is able to make a better strategy for the UCL match, many say Spalletti saves full energy for the Champions League maybe this will be true.

Juventus wasted a big opportunity to make themselves in a good position in the semi finale, they played well and scored the first goal in the last 10 minutes but unfortunately they wasn't able to keep the score for few minutes and inter scored the equalizer in the last minutes, inter now have a big advantage and i believe they will make it to the final

Indeed, Juve wasted a good chance to start the second leg with a good and important advantage. Inter gonna start that game with the home advantage. There are many red cards thrown in this game including Lukaku and Handanovic from Inter and Cuadrado from Juve. The ones scoring games ended up with a red card

[MoonOfLife]

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.

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

Altryist, I don't think any team is going to just give away an easy win for the opponent. That is something which I really find hard to believe even if it seems like being good for that instant. I believe a team is always going to try to win instead of going for some conspiracy theories. So of course it is hard for me to believe that this was done purposefully by Napoli. A win is a win and a loss is a loss.

Indeed Juventus vs Inter Milan scored draw have interested about this games atmosphere, three red card seems how the match was more tough with Juan Cuadrado from Juventus received red card on 98th minutes and Inter Milan's player Lukaku then Handanovic have sent off due red card at the end games.

Have disadvantage for Inter Milan on second half with Lukaku and Handanovic are absent due red card accumulation, always have more tough atmosphere when Juventus vs Inter Milan. However with draw on first half both team still have the same chance qualify to final stage of Copa Italia depend on second leg match result.

Three red cards in this match. I know that probably all those red cards were not very impactful to the outcome of the match but these red cards are going to be very impactful in the next few games for both of the teams. It was a good game for both teams. I don't know if all those red cards were very necessary. But at the same time, it is also needed for the referees to establish authority and dominance over the match.

For Inter the red card does not have too much impact because Samir Handanović is not the main goalkeeper they still have André Onana
Maybe Juventus who are slightly disadvantaged because cuadrado is one of the starting lineup but yes they still have a few substitutes.

The match between Juventus and Inter Milan is always interesting to discuss. The two teams do have a long history of rivalry, so if there were several incidents in that match it was part of the seasoning for that match.

If you look at normal time, Juventus had to bow down because the victory that was in front of their eyes was shattered in the injury time minute due to Bremer's handball in the penalty box. Lukaku, who became the executor, did not waste this opportunity. However, after the equalizing goal was created, Lukaku made a silent gesture in front of the Juve tifosi, thus provoking the atmosphere on the field. And the referee also awarded two red cards to Inter players, namely to Lukaku and Handanovic, and one red card to Cuadrado from Juventus.

As a result of this incident, it was clear that Inter Milan suffered the most because in the second leg the two players could not be strengthened. Maybe if Lukaku is able to manage his emotions after scoring a goal, then Inter will have pretty good capital in the 2nd leg later.

I can't even agree with the red card for lukaku. It's such a disgrace for serie a. Lukaku was just getting so much racism towards him and he got red card for that? Im very respectful of the result of the match between intermilan and juventus but i could not even accept how racism juventus's supporters are to the lukaku. I hope that the same incident will not happen again when intermilan will be playing at home. I hope that intermilan will send off juventus from copa italia.

cuadrado and lukaku will not be playing in the second leg.

Italian football fans are even much more racist compared with spanish league. Lukaku was just getting so many verbal attack.

I really don't understand the decision to give him red card. It was one of his normal celebration which he does from time to time. Maybe they can comply to Seria A and get his red card removed like they did for some other players. At the end it will be interesting second leg.

Juventus had a good opportunity to defeat Inter 1-0 but they joke with the opportunity by allowed Inter to equalized the match at extra time that made their fans to feel bad at the moment. Romelu lukaku really help their team to equalized the goal 1-1 to avoid disgrace from Juventus, because many people concluded that Juventus will maintain the one goal till the end of the match until Inter apply some new strategy that made them to equalized the goal before two of their players received red card from the match. I believe, Inter will definitely win their next match, because they are good in using home advantage to achieve victory from any team.

The end of the second half was the pinnacle of the momentum in this game, Lukaku reacted to the crowd to get him booked again and a few minutes later of course there was another incident that saw Cuardado and Handanovic sent off in this match.
What is clear is that this has an impact on Leg 2, especially for Inter, who have to prepare without goalkeeper Handanovic and indeed, even though Onana is actually quite good, this is still a real loss.

There are conditions where some people definitely agree and some don't, but indeed in this case the decision was made and Lukaku was considered to have overreacted after his celebration when he scored a goal.
2 Goalscorers but both also on red cards this is quite dramatic actually
We'll have to wait for the end of April for their second Leg which for sure will also be very interesting to watch.

The match was very competitive. But I expected this match to be more exciting. Neither team showed much-attacking propensity. Both teams kept their defence tight and then tried to attack. Inter Milan is not in good form yet. They have not been able to win in the last 5 matches. The performance of their forward players has deteriorated. I don't think Inter Milan will win against Juventus in the second leg. Although it is a home match, Inter Milan cannot be called favourite now. Their performance is now very erratic. I think Juventus will dominate the second leg and they will beat Inter Milan.

Of course, players who receive a red card will be important for the next match, players who have scored the only goals from both Juventus and Inter in this match have received a red card.
It is very sad to be so nervous at the end of the match, if racism or similar things are still going on at this date, we all need to think here. Instead of talking about the quality of football, we are talking about the fight in the match

That's right, even though it was a Juventus fan who gave a racist shout at Lukaku when he was about to take a penalty kick and after that Lukaku only celebrated to reply to the racist criticism. What's more, what Quadrado did, in my opinion, was also wrong, he should have been able to calm the Juventus fans instead of attacking Lukaku instead. Indeed, racism has been rooted for a long time and in football this will become a habit if no party can be firmer to give more severe punishment to teams that do this.

The reality is that racism in football cannot be stopped in the way that many players are doing these days. I don't think why there are still racist people like that, even though, things would be better if racism disappeared from this earth. I also thought so, maybe this is a form of injustice or what, but I really regret what happened in this match.

insults are normal in the sports world
honestly this thing makes me laugh, if for every insult we had to ban
there are no more important insults than others, do you know how many insults they say to the goalkeeper about his wife, mother and sisters? so many and yet nothing is done about it
because you don't need to do anything

Intermilan was doing so well when it was playing away. A dramatic match is always happening when these clubs are facing each other. The next gonna be pressure for juventus caused by intermilan already having more advantage to play at home. Juventus will be playing away. this is making juventus had no choice. I think that the second leg will be the same like the first leg. There will be another dramatic match considering the second leg is a time for both clubs to go all in to win the match.

Juventus will be playing with cuadrado while intermilan will be missing lukaku. Juventus and intermilan have their own disadvantage but i think that the contribution that is already by lukaku is less compared with cuadrado. that being said that if intermilan will get more advantage over juventus caused by juventus will miss one of its winger. The next match is really worthy to be watched. So many people will be putting eyes in the second leg.

We will see another match with very high tension to happen with juventus vs intermilan.

Probably now Juventus will have an advantage in the return game, since the absence of two main players from the opponent (one of whom is a goalkeeper) is a significant minus.
By the way, does anyone know whether the format of the Coppa Italia already complies with the new norms (away goals advantage has been cancelled) or not yet? I heard that these changes are not working everywhere yet. If the away goals rule is still relevant in the Coppa Italia, then Inter will be the clear favourite.
