Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[G_Besar]

Roma played very well today's match 3-0 win against Udinese was a big score for Roma. Roma are now only 6 points behind Lazio which is not a huge gap.  If you play well in the next 2-3 matches  Roma can overtake Lazio and compete strongly with Napoli. Roma have high chances to do well in the Italian league this season.  Roma is one of my favorite teams. Good things can be expected from Roma and their future is bright

AS Roma's victory this week was quite profitable for them because their competitors had bad results this week and so AS Roma is now 5 points ahead of Inter Milan who are ranked 5th in the standings.
regardless of whether they can catch Lazio or not in 2nd place in the Serie A standings, the most important thing in my opinion is that AS Roma can finish in the top 4 and get a ticket to next season's UCL.

As Roma managed to take advantage of the negative results achieved by Milan and Inter. The victory over Udinese has now made Roma even more determined to continue to occupy the top four positions. If you want to reach that target, Roma must continue to be able to maintain the game like the match against Udinese.

But Rome is certainly not completely safe to be in the top four. The schedule for the remaining matches until the end of the season that Roma must face is quite heavy. Roma must pass the obstacles of Milan, Inter and Atalanta. The match against the three teams should at least be a serious concern for Jose Mourinho.

Inter is increasingly in crisis
they lost at home against Monza, who aren't exactly a very strong team
while he's not doing badly in the cup, I honestly don't understand these two souls of Inter
there are definitely problems

I am also surprised by Inter's current condition, they are really having a hard time winning in Serie A. But the unique thing is that Inter have been able to perform well in the Champions League and Coppa Italia.

I suspect that the defeat to Monza was because they wanted to focus more on the Champions League. But it would also be a shame if they also failed in the Champions League and threw away enough important points in Serie A and would potentially lose their chance to finish in the top four. I also think that Inzaghi is also very confused about such a situation.

[EdenHazard]

I remember they appealed the 15 point penalty and their appeal was denied, I may be misremembering. If their 15-point penalty is cleared, they will move to second place in the league. This will take them straight to the Champions league. Of course Milan or Inter will be angry about this, but there is nothing they can do. If such a decision is made, they will have to wait.

April 19th is the juventus 15 points deduction hearing.

It's the day after tomorrow as the 30 days since appeal submitted passed. Hard decision but for me the points deduction must be stand as it was , postponing to next season or granted it ... would just trigger some more critics & doubt on FIGC. Though situation.

[TopT3ns]

AS Roma, which was able to outperform Udinese in its own cage, must be said to be extraordinary because Roma was able to win a landslide victory with a lot of scores even though the goalkeepers of these two teams both managed to save penalties in that match, but I have to admit that Roma were the best in that match because Roma are very aware of securing their position in the top three of the Serie A standings at this time.

AS Roma have done the right thing with this victory, making them get quite a lot of additional points and making them into the top three at the top of the standings. Luck is on AS Roma's side, accompanied by very good teamwork, but AS Roma can't be happy first because they are still playing against Atalanta on April 25, which can pose a threat to them.

[hahay]

Even though Atalanta are in a better position in the Serie A standings than Fiorentina, but Atalanta are not the favorites to win today's away game. Also, in away matches this season, Atalanta actually has a pretty good record, but that still doesn't make Atalanta the favorite to win this match. In fact, for me personally Atalanta still has a chance to win this away match but yes, it's not easy to do and it still takes great effort.

But yes, however, Fiorentina is on a very good trend at the moment, because Fiorentina has not lost in their last 13 matches so far in all competitions. So, naturally, Atalanta is not the favorite to win this match, because Fiorentina also has good quality and ability at this moment to keep getting points, whether it's a win or a draw.

To be honest, it was such an important win for Roma following the Milan vs Bologna draw. Roma was able to take advantage of their opportunities well to secure their position in the top 3 with 3 points more than Milan. Meanwhile, Milan is still on top 4 at the moment with 53 points after drawing in their last 2 matches. Milan has been the only team that has been the most unstable in its last 5 matches compared to 3 other teams in the top 4.

Napoli, who was also unlucky in their last match against Verona, will face Milan in the second leg of the Champions League tomorrow. The two teams were both in unsatisfactory performance, but Milan had a goal advantage over Napoli when playing the second leg.

They won their last Serie A game like six weeks ago, but for some reason they beat Benfica in the first leg. This is odd and I think it is quite some time ago that I saw a team performing so bad, but still being in the champions league and still top five in the Serie A. In the last five games there is only one team that was as bad as Inter and that was Lecce. Additionally they are still in the Coppa as well and the result wasn't too bad in Turin either!

Now they are losing game after game but perform decently in the other competitions. It must be a touch decision for the management to stick to Inzaghi, but what are you going to do when you can still win two titles but play bad in the league? You can't even sack him...

But they should at least give him a warning that they are expecting better things from him in the future, right? If he is not warned, I believe he will not probably be serious about his approach. It is not acceptable, the way they are performing in league competitions.

Both Milan teams (AC Milan and Inter Milan) are falling behind two Rome teams (Lazio and Roma) and their gaps with Lazio at the second position becomes bigger in last several weeks. AS Roma just have a big win against Udinese that helps them to increase a gap with AC Milan to 3 points. I don't say it is a safe gap for AS Roma but at least, they can hold their third position at least one more week day without any risk of take over from AC Milan.

Not only Inter Milan but also Juventus are very likely to lose their chance to participate in top four. Juventus hope is over and they will have to focus on Europa League. They won Benfica 1 - 0 in Turin and will have to get a draw at least in Portugal to join semi final stage of Europa League.

There has been a big turn of events in this league. The expected results are not being delivered by the teams. The top teams are losing matches one after another. I really have no idea how that table is going to look at the end of the season. But one thing I really want to see is Juventus finishing in the top four.

Inter is just not good right now. The inconsistency is absolutely unbelievable. They have not performed well at all in Serie A. In the last five matches, they do not have a single win. This is not going to get them to finish in the top four. They are certainly grateful to finish outside the top four if they do not start performing better immediately.
Milan is not currently facing too much pressure from Inter at all because currently Inter is not performing well, and that is indirectly being very helpful for Milan. Atalanta will surely try to win the next match by a goal difference of at least 2 because that is going to take them ahead of Inter.

I don't really care about Inter's loss against Monza, but what concerns me is what happened to AC Milan. When Milan have the chance to add more points, it's always as I think, they didn't win. Maybe A draw is a better results than a loss, but while AC Milan still needs a lot of points to lock in 4th place, they still show an annoying inconsistency.

AC Milan has always been like that. The last season they were very lucky to actually win the title. But this time the luck is finally running out for them in my opinion. Almost all the teams have been inconsistent this season, except for two, Napoli and Juventus .

I agree with you that Fiorentina is in a better line and also play at home besides that they also target the European league competition
It is clear they will continue to push hard to move up to 5-6 in the standings and they still have time in the remaining games of the season
now Fiorentina are 1 goal down in the first half but the statistics show that Fiorentina's efforts continue to attack.

The first half looked likely to be won by Atalanta even though Fiorentina had the upper hand in terms of possession and their chances were thwarted when Atalanta counterattacked and capitalized on the momentum when Joakim Mæhle scored.
Now time is running out even though at the moment it seems that Fiorentina are increasingly eager to equalize and the match is still very exciting to watch.

If Atalanta manage to win against Fiorentina today then this is going to be really bad for Juventus. Because the gap between in the standings will be 7 points and it will be much more difficult for Juventus to keep up for a spot in the Europa Conference League. I might understand the loss against Lazio a little despite that bad performance but Juventus shouldn't have played that much bad against Sassuolo which led to another loss. They just gave many chances to Atalanta to get away from them more.

However right now Fiorentina look like the better playing side against Atalanta. If they increase the level of pressure in the second half then they can manage to turn the match around. But actually Fiorentina don't have much goal left for this season so I still doubt that possible comeback. But who knows maybe they can do this anyway thanks to their amazing form in the recent times.

Fiorentina dominated the match and they even had more chances than Atalanta, but it was the visitors, Atalanta, who could score. If the game goes like the first half, I think Fiorentina will be able to equalize. On the other hand, Atalanta must improve their performance in the second half, they must be able to come up with a fresher strategy, and making several substitutions seems to be a good choice to make them improve in the second half later. The coach must be able to bring out his ability to read the game.

It's still halftime for both teams and I think even though Atalanta are already 1 goal ahead, the result is still not safe considering that Fiorentina have also had good performances in several of their matches. Maybe what will be unexpected is the comeback from Fiorentina and I'm pretty sure they can do it in the second half. Even so, the second H2H often ends in narrow wins for each team. But if Fiorentina fail to comeback then they will target a draw in this match.

Obviously this is still very unsafe for Atalanta because we can see how Fiorentina actually controlled the whole match in the first half.
At this time the kick off of the second half begins and the conditions are still not significantly different for this second half and it seems that the two teams will still rely on the same scheme considering that there have been no substitutions from the two teams at this time.

[len01]

Juventus were not just lucky in the game , it is not even as if their performance was bad.
Juventus just see's it so difficult to score goals and Juventus will be meeting with sporting in europa league,  if they still find it to score goals it will be big problem for them

The next match for Juventus is against the top of the Serie A standings this season, namely Napoli. But before that, Juventus must also be able to win at Sporting CP in this season's Europa League competition because Juventus have won by one goal in the first leg against Sporting CP in the first leg. This season Juventus has been very unlucky because until now in Serie A it is still difficult for Juventus to get their best position.

after the success of Juventus being able to beat Sporting in the first leg for me is like a sign that Juventus will beat Sporting in the second leg. Even though this match will take place at Sporting's home ground, it seems that Juventus will never be afraid to score against Sporting.
after that Juventus had to face the top team Napoli which was very difficult for Juventus to beat. but if you look at the rumors circulating when a top team like Napoli plays against a team below them, they will perform very badly like the case of Napoli vs Milan which is really very surprising.
I think if the rumors are true it means Juventus have a chance to win against Napoli.

I considered Fiorentina as the favorite in this match. Because it is their home match. Moreover, the performance of the Atalanta team is not very regular. Atalanta leads 1-0 at the end of the first half. But it cannot be said that Atalanta is performing very well. Fiorentina had 10 shots in the first half, 5 of which were on target. On the other hand, Atalanta made only 3 shots. Also the dominance of Fiorentina's players was quite visible in the first half. I will be happy if this match is a draw or Fiorentina wins. Because Fiorentina's players performed better than Atalanta in this match. However, we look forward to seeing how Atalanta performs in the second half.

Perhaps a slight favorite because it is a home game for Fiorentina, but there is more on the line for Atalanta, so I expected them to give their everything. If they want to preserve a chance to qualify for the Champions League, they should rather win this game.

Another interesting topic is Roma's situation and Mourinho. Now that it's looking so well for them and they could also make it into the Champions League, I believe that the chance for Mourinho to stay with Roma is actually increasing. That's what Mourinho is living for. I doubt that he will go to Saudi Arabia already. He could also do it in two or three years.

Now the score has changed again after Fiorentina leveled the score even from the penalty box.
Now the minutes have entered a crucial time and of course this is a little bad for Atalanta because they have to focus more, especially since the pressure on Fiorentina is still very large and their dominance in this match is quite strong.
I do not rule out the possibility that this will still be a draw, especially with the discipline of Atalanta's players in defense and the condition of Fiorentina, who are having a little difficulty in finishing.

[Rengga Jati]

Lazio's victory over Spezia 0 - 3 further strengthened this club's position as runner up. -snip-

With this winning, Lazio secure their second position and have a safer condition in top four competition among some big clubs. They will wait for results of AS Roma, AC Milan and Inter Milan to see will they expand gaps against those clubs after this week.

Yes agree. at least Lazio has left Rome, Milan and others with quite a lot of points. Moreover, their performance is getting better so that they might stay in second place until the end of the season.
Different from Lazio, Juventus actually lost points because they lost to Sassuolo. Meanwhile, Atalanta are currently still drawing 1 - 1 against Fiorentina.

[Mame89]

It was a quite interesting match here because even though Roma won by a landslide, Udinese really played very well in this case, especially with the intensity of the attacks of the two teams which were really good, making this even more interesting.
Roma's advantage over Udinese in this match is that Roma have a much better finishing quality than Udinese which is in their favor and the 3 points are sweetly earned.

Fantastic performance for As Roma overall. I don't know how Mourinho did it. Last year they won the European Cup after 50 years or so. This year they have performed extraordinary in the European league and are 3rd in Serie A. If they win the European league, enter the Champions league, adding more value to the As Roma squad. In just 3 years time, they will have the Scudetto, the Europa League and a champion.

I think Roma have to maintain their top 3 position from now on by being consistent in winning every game they have left. Avoid giving points to lesser teams. A draw and a loss enough for the season. Because Jose will do well if Roma qualify for the Champions League.

[MarjorieZimmermanGinger]

well, in 2 days we will know more about it.

Juventus did an appeal and the rumors are to give back the 15 points they removed, (with an irregular decision).

IF they will have back the points they will be 3rd.

If that happens and their points are returned then Juventus' chances will be much better, but I think the chances of their appeal will be less likely to win and as far as I know football is too strict with the rules that have been issued. Let's see how this decision will play out and hope it is right because we will see a great result for Juventus.

Its seems not over with Champion League ticket for Juventus because remaining 9 points from AC Milan and have 8 games left, indeed loss from Sassuolo last night. Current standing Juventus have 44 points and the latest Champion League spot is AC Milan with 53 points. Possibility for 8 matches left Juventus success win all games they have chance for latest champion league ticket.

In my opinion Juventus' chances in the Champions League are small, if you rely on the remaining matches in Serie A, AC Milan and Roma will definitely make the same target as Juventus, their current point advantage is also slightly bigger for Juventus to pursue. So a more realistic opportunity is to secure Europa League tickets and they still have the chance to catch Inter Milan and Atalanta

But the remaining few matches will make things clearer, can Juventus finish in the top five or not? Juventus also have a tough match in the following week after playing in the European league, because they will face Napoli and this match will determine how Juventus can give their best results in this season.
