Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Velvet78]

I think it is already time for Inter to finish this terrible form. They have a game against Salernitana away and I will be expecting a very clear victory by Inter. We should be seeing many improved performances in this game. Salernitana aren't one of the big teams in this league. They should just use this to their advantage and get the win they want after that.

Inter really need this win after losing four times recently. They beat Salernitana in this season before and they can do this comfortably once again. They shouldn't risk their top four chance now.

[arimamib]

Unfortunately, yes, Inter has experienced a decline in performance so they haven't been able to maximize it again in the last 5 matches, so they can only get full points for winning just once. Even though several matches played with small clubs and suffered defeat. yes, hopefully with this condition, Inter can be motivated again in Serie A to play better. Because it is very unfortunate if their performance continues to decline.

Inter Milan must be really serious to achieve a victory and end the bad streak they have done in the last 5 matches.  Salernitana also didn't win in the last 4 matches because the final result of 4 matches ended in a draw. inter milan must not assume that the opponent they are facing is a weak team because this match is an away match which makes the difference in the atmosphere of the game more difficult for them.

Even though Lukaku has returned to the team after the old injury that hit him, Lukaku return has not had a good impact on the Inter Milan front line because he has not been able to bring victory to Inter Milan. But in the previous match he was Inter Milan savior against Juventus.

Lazio vs Juventus will be a tight match. Both teams perform very well currently. Although Lazio is in 2nd place, I don't think that Lazio is better than Juventus. Juventus is just unlucky because he got a problem, so they lose many points. But if we consider the squad quality, I think Juventus squad is much better than Lazio squad. I really expect that Juventus to win this match, they have good motivation to return to top 5. If they win this match, I assume they may return to top 5 at the end of the season.

If Juventus don't get into trouble and don't get points deducted, then they will now be competing with Lazio for second place, but this must be an important lesson for Juventus not to repeat the same mistake a second time. The players and strategy that Juventus have may be stronger, but you also have to see that Lazio, which has so far succeeded in second place at the top of the standings, also has the same strengths, which makes it difficult for scorers to decide who will be the winner.

In the last match of the day tomorrow, Milan will host Empoli. I think Milan boosted their morale by winning with a difference against Napoli. They hadn't won for 3 weeks but it was important for them to win 4-0 away against Napoli. Since they will play at home against Empoli, the advantage is definitely milan. But they can also rotate in this match as there is a champions league match during the week. They won't risk it because they will face Napoli.

With a fairly busy schedule for Milan, it is likely that they will not appear with the main squad when they host Empoli. Maybe they will save the energy of their main players to better prepare for the match against Napoli in the champions league. But statistically even H2H Milan is actually still ahead by winning the game against Empoli. So in my opinion this will be an easy match for Milan, at least they have to win by scoring 2 goals to secure their position in the standings.

Empoli is not a problem for AC Milan. The AC Milan players will not be drained of energy in this match. In addition, the match was also played at home to AC Milan. Many AC Milan predictions will win the match.

I'm trying to place a bet for the Salernitana vs. Inter, it seems that Salernitana is too weak in matches in the Italian League (Serie A), this can be proven from the several matches they have played.
For example: Juventus beat Salernitana 3-0 without a goal from Salernitana, as well as Lazio which ended 2-0, also without a goal from Salernitana in terms of ranking too far 15 with 4 for inter.
the difference is far, with the inter team so far, unfortunately the multiplication score for inter is very low, but it's not an obstacle to bet on for the score win for inter, I'm pretty sure inter will win the score in the match against Salernitana for this season.

I've read snipie post #47750 as well as your post YOSHIE. You guys guess Inter will win and there are some people in this discussion who guess Inter will win in tomorrow match. I'll also bet for Inter although odds are little @1.46, but I hope won't be any surprises at there, because the last five matches Salernitana have a good record, even they can draw against Milan. But also Inter will be more motivated to win because their current position is being threatened by Roma and Atalanta, also I think about your opinion about Salernitana. Thanks guys.

inter milan situation in serie A is quite bad lately because they have lost a lot of points from the 5 matches they have played. Consecutive defeats resulted in their ranking increasingly threatened in the standings. .....

Unfortunately, yes, Inter has experienced a decline in performance so they haven't been able to maximize it again in the last 5 matches, so they can only get full points for winning just once. Even though several matches played with small clubs and suffered defeat. yes, hopefully with this condition, Inter can be motivated again in Serie A to play better. Because it is very unfortunate if their performance continues to decline.

it is very unfortunate if Inter Milan cannot restore their performance in the near future. because they also have an important match in the Champions League and the opponent that Inter Milan will face in the Champions League is also a pretty tough opponent, namely Benfica. Even Benfica has a record of not having lost a single time in the Champions League since the group stage to the round of 16 yesterday. so Inter Milan's task is really tough.

Although Inter Milan performed badly in Serie A matches, it doesn't mean they perform badly in UCL matches too. In reality, Inter Milan is better than Barcelona in the group stage, they were in 2nd place while Barcelona was in 3rd place. This indicates that Inter Milan performed quite well in UCL this season. I know that Benfica is a strong team and they are never defeated in UCL. But Inter Milan cannot be underestimated, they have a good squad and they ever have a good history in UCL. I believe all Inter Milan players will struggle all out for their honor.

Further investigations against Lazio Roma, AS Roma and Salernitana. Their offices have already been raided and some officials have been sued as far as I know. This would be sick if in the next couple of weeks  AS and Lazio Roma would actually be penalized with a point deduction. What a turn of events would that be for Juventus in the very last moment should they not make the cut by themselves?

They have been shuffling players around at below market value transactions and then booked higher market values to pimp their financial balances. I assume that has something to do with the salaries you can expend? I don't know how it exactly comes into effect. But yes, that is what's going on there.

Bad news for these clubs because the consequences of these charges if an indictment is made are catastrophic. The penalty is usually points reduction, fines, and sometimes a ban. Only a few clubs can survive the effect of these sanctions. They will lose many players, sponsors will have to cancel or renegotiate contract deals and the goodwill of the club might be tarnished greatly. Currently, all these charges are just my suspicion or allegations. Until the authority comes up with concrete evidence, they will remain as speculations. And S.S. Lazio has denied any wrongdoing. They claim that their business or transfer transactions are free from fraud or any form of financially abnormality. Time we tell how this case will unfold.

Yes but you describe exactly how catastrophic it could end. Take AS Roma as an example and also take into the account that Mourinho has an offer from Saudi Arabia, but wants to stay with Roma. If they get penalized, for instance 15 points at the end of the season, then they end up not playing in the European competitions next year and on top of that they are very likely going to lose their coach as well. Besides that players will leave the club, finances will go South and that could end up in a very bad and negative spiral. Not to forget how the fans will go nuts.

But I also think that these prosecutions are vital to finally eliminate these shady or criminal actions by some clubs. If there aren't any hard penalties, it will just remain maths game for the clubs to either engage in those activities or not. Does it pay off? Or does it not? It's time to clean up the mess in any leage.

Mourinho want to make bigger history with Roma after winning Conference League with them last season. However he has conflict with the club about plan for a next season. If Roma can give him good budget to buy new players and build up a more competitive team, he will likely stay in Rome. However with Roma finance, I feel it is impossible for them to give Mourinho big transfer budget in the summer.

I don't know Mourinho will agree to move to Saudi Professional League only because of salary. Maybe he will move there two or three seasons and will return to Europe. I think those big offers mainly given to Mourinho and Messi, Ronaldo because of their mutual effects. After Ronaldo and Messi retire I guess it is hard to see such very big offer for a coach like this.

They did performed bad in both Serie A and Champions League. They only went to Champions League quarter final after a very lucky draw at Porto's home stadium. We are discussing about their latest form, not months ago when they held a second position in Serie A and played well in Champions League qualification stage.

In Serie A, they have same total point like AC Milan and AS Roma so they still are able to complete in top four. However if they can not improve their form or have worse form, their position will be taken over by not only AS Roma but possibly Atalanta and Juventus as well.

[LUCKMCFLY]

this is not a difficult match for Atalanta to secure 3 points. I'm sure Atalanta will be able to face Cremonese with a big score. this is an important point for Atalanta to continue to secure opportunities to appear in the Champions League next season, and another reason that is no less important is to make Atalanta's players mentally improve after the last few matches did not get maximum points.

Cremonese is a very weak team this season and this is proven by the appearance and achievements of Cremonese themselves, which so far are still at the bottom of the standings. Yes, Atalanta will take advantage of the match at the beginning of next month as a place to get points in full, but Atalanta still have to be focused and consistent because Cremonese can also make a surprise at home against Atalanta so Atalanta doesn't have to take it easy for this match

The truth is that I don't like what Cremonese has done, I had high hopes for this team and this team has Potential, as far as Serie A is concerned, Napoli, Juve, Inter, Milan, Lazio, are the teams that sound the most, and it's not a bad thing, it's good, but teams like Cremonese Give a lot of hope, in fact they have a great fan base, those fans are somewhat disappointed for now, but I also understand that the level of the teams in the Series A is very high, nothing more like Roma del Mou who still haven't been able to do much, this is the level of Serie A.

Inter lost again this time versus Fiorentina.

The only way for Inzaghi to be able to save his spot is to go ahead in the Champions League.

They are now risking to be out from the next Champions.

This match is a very narrow result; it is inconceivable that a team as big as Inter has to lose to Fiorentina, who should be easy to beat.In the next match, Inter will also face a strong team from Napoli; this will probably be an embarrassing match for Inter because they have to lose again, which will make Inter lose four matches in a row.

Inter lose at home vs Fiorentina it was very sad for me, even I didn't expect it Fiorentina can steal three points. Considering that point gap with others teams is also very close, Inter should be more consistent to get points at least they could make this match with a draw results but not, I don't know what happened at there but this result is very bad for them. Inter next match in Serie A will be against Salernitana, while against Napoli it happen in may if on schedule.

with this defeat inter has 3 consecutive defeats, something very shocking and in the last 5 games inter only had 1 victory, there are already 4 defeats that inter has in the last 5 games, and to make matters worse is that in the last 5 games inter can't score goals in every game, they only managed to score 2 goals against lecce and in the remaining games inter had difficulties in scoring at least 1 goal, at this rate inter won't get anywhere, i only see one solution for inter, which would be to hire another coach and make a major restructuring of the team, that will not make inter win serie A this season

so inter needs to start preparing for next season, inter's forwards haven't been able to score a goal, something strange because there was a time when they scored a lot of goals, i don't understand what happened that is negatively affecting inter's attack but inter this needs to be corrected, only a good coach can make good changes at inter, I haven't heard any rumors about the dismissal of the coach at inter, it seems to me that they intend to continue with him next season which would be a bad move


Juventus 1 - 0 verona

juventus won and with this victory now juventus is very close to getting a place in European competitions, something unbelievable because juventus was reduced points and was in the middle of the table, but managed to get closer to the places of access to European competitions, in the last 5 games Juventus lost in just 1 game

ndeed, it is as you say, for me things with Inter are almost lost, because they had to win, I don't know, but on this occasion they did it very badly and it is something that disappoints, especially the fans, on the other hand very Good for Juve, because it has been a team that seems to have the Intention of continuing to improve and this makes Serie A very good, for me Juve will earn that position so they can go to the UCL, it is also a very strong team , it will be a good contender in the UCL, they have how to play good games and why not win it, everything is in the possibilities.

Inter suffer Fiorentina defeat, Juventus boost top-four hopes

MILAN, April 2 — Inter Milan slumped to a 1-0 home defeat by Fiorentina on Saturday as Giacomo Bonaventura’s second-half goal dealt a blow to their hopes of qualifying for the Champions League from Serie A.

Simone Inzaghi’s Inter, who will face Benfica in this season’s Champions League quarter-finals, remain in third place.

But they are only two points clear of AC Milan and fifth-placed Atalanta who saw off Cremonese 3-1 earlier Saturday, with Roma one point further behind ahead of their game against Sampdoria on Sunday.

It will not be a tough game for benfica. Benfica has a very good record in UCL and domestic league.

it has been reported that

Bahrain-based fund InvestCorp has reignited their interest in buying Inter from current owners Suning.

This according to Italian business newspaper Il Sole 24 Ore, who report that the fund are working on a dossier to potentially complete a purchase of the Nerazzurri, and that they are looking for investors.

Intermilan will be facing salernitana which can be considered as easy opponent right now. The problem is salernitana is still playing consistently. It never loses in the last five matches of serie a. It's possible for edin dzeko to play against salernitana. The busy schedule has been forcing intermilan to did some rotations. There is also speculation about some players like asllani and de vrij will be included in the starting line up against salernitana. It will be a disaster if intermilan will be still losing points against salernitana.

[bering]

Salernitana vs Inter

Home team were unbeatable 5 times streak i think this is good progress for Salernitana but indeed they got too many draws results from those matches and this cannot be say good because basically they also losing so many points and for Inter i don't understand what happend to them because their performance isn't reflected they are strong team in Serie A

With the current position i am sure Inter coach is under pressure because he should bringing Inter to gets the winning results again but Inter had serious problem to their front lines and it proven from their recent statistics that in the last 10 matches Inter only able to scores 8 goals even their top scorer Lautaro Martinez has unable to scores again in the last 5 matches with Inter

I am thinking to bets for draw result for this match because seems Salernitana currently is became the team who hard to be defeated and i know Inter is obviously the favourite but with all of their inconsistency this makes me doubt Inter will collect 3 points from this match so that's why i predict Salernitana will probably stole point from Inter and this option had high odds @4.70

@X-ray Inter has to win their game against Salernitana, because if they end up losing the game then they could probably drop out of the champions league spot hence it’s a must win game for them. Also it’ll be really amazing if they get a new owner as they really require funding if they’re to challenge once more, but until it’s confirmed we can only speculate as such deals often end up being cancelled but fingers crossed for this one.

True, we don't measure fully between the local league and the Champions League, it will be a very different game. Even though they didn't perform well in the local league, that doesn't mean the same thing will happen in the Champions League. And vice versa, even though they performed well in the Champions League, it doesn't mean that it's like that in the local league as well. I can't predict what will happen in this match. It's hard for me to predict that.

[swogerino]

I think is a tricky night for Serie A as the three games should be won by the favorites with a bit of a question for Inter game as they are not winning from 5 consecutive games and Salernitana also is having a good run with 4 draws consecutively even against good teams but overall I think Inter should turn things around tonight and win their game.

For Napoli I have no doubts they are going to crush Lecce and also Milan should win against Empoli,so these two games put in a parlay should be a good option to make some money or to double the stake as the odd should be just 2 or a bit more.

[Z-tight]

Empoli is not a problem for AC Milan. The AC Milan players will not be drained of energy in this match. In addition, the match was also played at home to AC Milan. Many AC Milan predictions will win the match.

Ac milan are supposed to win the match, but how many times have we thought Ac milan was going to win, but they drew or lost, they are so inconsistent this season, they beat Napoli last week, do not be surprised if they do not beat Empoli today even after their good result against Napoli last week, that is how inconsistent they have been this season, and the reason why they did not challenge Napoli for the title as the defending champions. Empoli have won only 7 matches in the seria A this season, this game will be so difficult for them, but their opponents are inconsistent and Empoli may be lucky today.

The two matches Milan as well as Napoli will be the favorites for betting later, but seeing inter doesn't look very interesting because it's difficult to predict their inconsistency in the league has been seen since the previous few matches they always lost, even though they have to win against salernitana but I think this match will be seen it's complicated to guess because salernitana was able to hold their opponents to a draw in 4 matches.

I also think that for Milan this will be a difficult match, because just with these teams, which are not favorites and occupy a place near the bottom of the standings, Milan plays the hardest.
Lately, Milan have been showing interesting, combinational, attacking soccer, but they do it well against teams like Napoli, who do not close, do not park the bus in the penalty area, and can play open soccer.
The odds on Empoli's win is more than 8, on a draw 5. I don't believe Empoli will win, but I think they can play a draw.

in theory yes, Milan should win quite easily against a team like Empoli
I'll give you a little bit of statistics to understand this concept

Milan
goals: 44
goals received: 36
Win: 14
Draft: 6
Lost: 7

Empoli
goals: 24
goals received: 36
Win: 6
Draft: 10
Lost: 11

I think, Salernitana will defeat Inter 2-1 for the favour of Salernitana because they are good in using home advantage to defeat any strong team to reduced their points which they will like to do the same thing to Inter too. For Napoli, I don't think Lecce can stop Napoli not to embrace victory from this match because Napoli are well organized to make this match favourable, so that they can make their fans understand that AC Milan defeated them by mistake in their last match. I believe, AC Milan will still achieve victory from Empoli because they will do everything possible to ensure they defeat Empoli at home and to alert other teams that they are in a solid ground to drag second position in this Italian league competition.
