Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[savetheFORUM]

Inter are still maintaining their horrible form in the Serie A. After losing three weeks in a row I thought they would be able to finish this bad series by defeating Salernitana. But this time they got a draw by not being able to use their advantage of being ahead until the final whistle. It was a big risk and mistake for Inter to keep the score at 1-0 for that long. They actually scored very early and captured a good advantage.

But somehow they couldn't go for more goals. Their main problem recently is with their scoring productivity. They just couldn't score more than one goal in each one of these matches. They weren't a team like this before. But these days there is something going really wrong with them. Maybe they don't have a title chance but it is still very important to finish the season in top four.

Right now, both Milan clubs are horrible and have some issues like having no converting their chances into goals which is surely going to hurt them badly in coming weeks as well because now both have crucial part of season with top three teams are already having better results and chance to stay at their current numbers but these both are surely feeling pressure with few more bad results and out of the top four could be disastrous for them.

With title chance is already ended for both even for all others those are into top ranks because 9 matches are left, and we have difference of 16 points which is not easy for any team even we have full strength run from here to until end of this season

[dezoel]

In fact Roma can't be considered as a very consistent team lately. But at least they were able to benefit from the opportunity they got for the third place in the league table.

However it wasn't an easy win against Torino at the same time. Because Roma couldn't open the goal difference more and this encouraged their opponent to try their best for an equalizer. Roma must be thankful that Torino weren't having a good day. Roma need to strengthen their defensive side a little more to be better. They will really need it to keep their presence in top 4. If they finish here they won't need to win the Europa League title to join the Champions League also. I wonder whether Mourinho would still think of signing for another big team no matter the result of the season.

Yeah, Roma is never been considered as consistent but good thing happening now they are taking good advantage of their form and having third spot which is likely to be good for them as we have no better results from other teams which are chasing them right now for this spot after having two good wins now they have match against Udinese which is also struggling badly after having amazing start of this season and most chances Roma will be able to have third win which will help them for having more pressure on Milan's.

Now Roma is heading for the UEFA Europa Cup quarter-final where they are going to face Feyenoord which is also having amazing run after losing final against them in Conference league last year things are looking impressive, and we can expect tough match between these two team Roma need to be more aggressive if they want to have taken another chance for reaching out into UEFA final.

What happens is that Cremonese is something else when it faces a team like Napoli, Napoli is a team that was going to grow, but it is based on work, not because of having stars, at Napoli we do check They don't have stars, they are just players who knew how to accommodate and integrate into the strategy that their coach gave them, and that made them Believe in themselves and be able to move forward, victories in a Team are very necessary and that everyone sees each other as brothers, and I have Particularly seen that at Napoli, so much so that they have not even sold players or something similar.

Thing can change with the goes of time. Napoli already stated if the club wanna let osimhen go out as long as there will is a worthy offer to be taken. Napoli was just developing amateur players to be its new stars. Napoli has stars right now and these stars already targeted by some big clubs. Napoli is targeting trophy for this season. Serie a already fully secured by napoli and it's the time for napoli to get another trophy for this season but the problem is osimhen has not yet fully recovered from his injury.
He must also use mask again in the upcoming match against ac milan. I think that any big clubs must have started to take cheap players and then develop it to be another star like what already done by napoli.

Napoli I think isn't seriously concerned about the league matches at the moment because they've done excellently well this season in the league and that's why they comfortably lead league by 15+ points difference which makes it almost impossible for them not to win the scudetto this season and they're also not distracted by the number by the number of suitors that are approaching their star man Victor Osimhen.
Their main focus right now is to cap a season that's been their best season for over two decades now with a qualification to play in this season's Champions League final at Istanbul. That's the club's main focus at the moment

José Mourinho really supports the team he supports, so when Roma managed to score a goal, José Mourinho immediately used a very strong defensive strategy that made it difficult for Torino to reply to the goals that had been won by Roma. To survive in the top three at the top of the standings, Roma still has to keep fighting to secure their position because, in the future, the opponents that it will face will be difficult to beat.

I don't think Roma will make it to the champions league, despite the fact that they're on third position on the table right now. They're too conservative with their approach to football . Mourinho is not a very technical coach, he sticks to the basics and sometimes it works while sometimes it doesn't. Roma still has to play Inter, Atalanta, Milan. These are teams that a defensive approach won't work on except on few occasions. Roma has very attacking minded players and it affects these players when they can't attack as they would like to.

Roma is in the third position of the table right now. Yes, it is true that they have a lot of competition around them. But I am feeling quite positive about Roma being able to finish in the top four. José Mourinho is, of course, not the best tactical coach there is right now. But as long as he gets the job done, I don’t think anyone is going to complain.

However, it is true that Roma will face a lot of really hard competition in the upcoming matches. It is going to be really hard for them to hold on to that third position or even finish in the top four. against those opponents.

So far Mourinho have done well that he can utilized the inconsistency of Inter and Milan and taking over Inter position on 3rd but this is not over yet because the competitions between the teams who want to finish at champion league zone is very tight and i have counted at least 4 teams still possible to finish on that zone including them

Roma shouldn't be slipped but indeed Roma will faced hard matches and the toughest teams for Roma upcoming schedules is Milan, Inter and Fiorentina and if Mourinho can managed Roma consistency and gets the positive results from those teams i think their chances to finish at champion league zone is wide open

[Jody.Drummer]

It has been a great weekend for Roma really. They went for the opportunity and made use of it great. Now they are keeping the third position in the standings but the points are still very close to each other of course. Balances can change very quickly in a short time. Roma just need some consistency from now on as they lost some games recently.

I assume the supporters would like to see Mourinho continuing his job here if they qualify for the Champions League. But if don't see any improvement then maybe he might leave for another team.

Regarding the game between Roma and Torino, Roma was really lucky against Torino, in the game we saw both teams were really close and they both performed well but in the end Roma won the game just because of the penalty kick they had, otherwise I think none of them could score a goal, however, Roma got 53 points now and are the third team of the table.

I want to deny but it's a fact.
Maybe in this case we know that the change was so sudden from the scheme that Mou did when they were ahead of the goal they always tried to defend and wanted to play safer but in this match they were completely monotonous on the counter-attack which made this not very feasible for a spectacle.
Their game is too monotonous for me who has cool expectations in this match.
only 1 on target for each club makes us realize how boring this match is.

With the success Napoli has had in the Champions League, they will surely want to continue this streak and qualify for the Champions League final. Napoli has yet to win the Champions League title. So they will fight hard to win the Champions League title. At the same time, Napoli is not afraid of losing the Serie A title. It is certain that Napoli will win the Serie A title. Therefore, the team will not face any problems even if they perform poorly in a few Serie A matches. This is why the Napoli coach can now fully focus on the Champions League match. I think Napoli's performance will be stronger if the goal is only on one side.

Lazio team proved in this round that they deserve the second spot they are in right now they have beaten juventus in a tough game last saturday, they put a 5 points difference from roma in the third place which is why they should feel comfortable for the moment considering how well they are performing i expect them to hold on to that spot.

Yeah, stupid alex sandro. I call him a stupid guy who was diving for nothing. Alex sandro was able to block the ball instead of diving like a clown. Juventus shall never use him again. It's very embarrassing for me to see that especially if you were watching it in slow motion.
Alex sandro wanna be a bird that will flying so high. Juventus may able to get a draw if alex sandro was not doing the stupidest thing like that. So many people even referee have noticed how alex sandro was diving like a clown.
That's so funny to see him doing it. I hope that he will not do that again later. The dumbest player i have ever seen.



Look at how stupid alex sandro is. What a clown.

Napoli have had a couple of bad matches so I don't think it will have any adverse effect on their team. Expect Nepali to make a strong comeback in the next matches as the players of the Napoli team are very determined with themselves. Besides, the coach of the team has mastered the tactics of the players in an extraordinary way.

It wasn't the intended performance. This always happens when game plans fails in matches. What really made the game look that way was that Mourinho has we all know needed a win so badly, but his defensive game plan nearly caused him to lose the game. After the penalty goal, Roma turned to play a completely defensive football and this made Torino to take over in ball possession but with the poor attack, they couldn't net a single goal against Roma, while Roma on the other way was bent to the defense with a diminished counter-attacking style.  Nothing serious was carried out in both sides' boxes, and as such the game became boring.

Juventus are not too excited anymore in the league this season when the points they have decreased by 15 points due to problems that occurred in the past, so with a situation like this, Lazio made good use of it to score a win even though it was only one goal difference. At least Juventus have tried to balance the score, but Juventus' efforts ended when the match was over and won by Lazio.

Lazio have managed to be in second place so far as they have come from behind, impressing and also the performances of the two milan city teams have been up and down to their advantage. It looks like this will be a certainty for Lazio's position because Roma, who are under him, are 5 points behind. The remaining matches that will make Lazio face difficulties are against Inter and AC Milan and these two matches are away matches and maybe they will drop points in this match, but that is not a problem because the important thing is to secure a champions league spot.

Lazio has been playing well and consistently lately, it's evident from the top 4 in the current standings, they are the team that has scored the best results in the last 5 matches. Now their chance to finish as runners-up is very big, considering that the team that is their competitor is also not very consistent in getting 3 points in the matches they play. Their 5 pound difference from 3rd place, so that's a good chance.

Indeed, the most important thing for Lazio is to be able to secure a ticket to the Champions League. but being ranked 2nd at the moment with 5 points difference from Roma is one thing that I actually didn't expect at all this season. I think Inter Milan or Milan will continue to fight for second place in the standings. but it turns out that Milan and Inter Milan both lost their consistency this season. but fortunately Milan and Inter Milan sometimes they still show a very good game. which means that they remain strong even in inconsistent conditions. but it seems that Juventus will find it increasingly difficult to get into the top 4 after this defeat. because the difference in points is now increasingly stretched.

Roma is third in the points table. At the first position of the points table is Napoli who is an incredibly good team and is able to perform well this season. However, Roma's Paulo Dybala is giving the team a great boost, which is why I think the team is still third in the points table.

I was not expecting Juventus to be that easy for Lazio  to beat, but lazio proved that they are the second best team in the league.  Lazio has done very wonderful in their performance this season to accumulate good numbers of points . I know Juventus have been struggling but expect it to last till this moment.

Regarding this, game both of them were performing well and they both had a close performance I was expecting to see a draw but Lazio is the second team in the league and they had to fight hard in this game to somehow get the full three points otherwise they could lose their position on the table after a few weeks that's why they were motivated for this game more than Juventus however I think the referee in this game had lots of mistakes and even Maurizio Sarri said the goals they scored was foul.

So this is what happened, it can be realized because in this case Mou knows that he really needs points and wants to always play it safe but indeed when in other matches against bigger clubs with a strategy like this I think this will not be forgiven and it could be an advantage they turn around. Luckily, Torino didn't have a good enough finisher in this match because if there was a good finisher, it would be clear the results would be different.
But on the other hand, clear appreciation must be given as well because with these 3 points, Rome is now in 3rd position, although they still can't be comfortable there.

[Pulsar77]

Milan are close to playing their matchup against Napoli in the Champions League now. I don't expect to see a similar matchup to the one they had in this league recently of course. This time there will be a really tough Napoli against them. Milan have an important target like ending the season in top four zone in the Serie A on one hand. I wonder how much they can balance these two tournaments these days. I think their priority must be the Serie A now because their presence in top four is under the threat of Inter especially.

Milan can of course give their best into the Champions League but I believe it is obvious they won't go very far. Napoli are very likely to eliminate them in the current stage. Osimhen's return date is still unknown though but Napoli are still a strong team that have what it takes to eliminate Milan.

[rendravolt]

Maybe someone has forgotten the results of one of last week's matches, that Atalanta, who are so favored, lost at home against visiting Bologna with a score of 0-2. This result has quite an impact on their current position in the standings which makes it even more difficult because they have to shift Inter and Milan first if they want to penetrate the top 4 of the standings. In the next match, Atalanta will have to play an away game against Fiorentina and I think Atalanta will again find themselves in a stalemate because Fiorentina is a pretty strong opponent.

wait, what? they were defeated easily? I guess you are kidding on this. The match was very fierce in this match and their conditions were actually equally strong, it's just that they conceded a goal at the start of the second half but overall if you look at their performance they are actually very strong and indeed this narrow defeat is not something that Lazio can easily get.

[izsara]

Seeing the actual opportunities created by the two teams in this match, I still feel that both of them were quite bad at finishing, although in this match, of course, Rome benefited because they scored a quick goal from the Dybala penalty in the first 10 minutes.
But after that, I didn't even see anything interesting in this match.

They were many missed opportunities and both team didn't offer their best performance. As for Roma, I will say there is a little bit of fatigued players and this really contributed to their poor performance. the early goal damped Torino'a momentum and If not for the early penalty goal I don't think Roma would have been lucky enough to get away with a raw. They were expected to show a better performance in the second half but it was still below expectations while Torino kept dominating in possession.  I quest Mourinho was satisfied with the result after all he is still bent on using a defensive style of play.

Saying the players are tired also doesn't really make sense, I think, especially with a long break for them, it would be quite funny if this was said to be the players' fatigue.
What I see is that they want to play it safe but this is actually putting more pressure on them in this game. luckily Torino weren't too good at taking advantage of their opportunities because if only there was a goal-hungry player there with Rome's performance like this it's clear there are lots of loopholes that can be exploited.
