Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Uruhara]

I am struggling to agree with you. The performance was superb up until a certain point and that was the break for the national teams. After that Osimhen was injured for three weeks I believe and they had problems to find back their former strength. I would say it was a very good season, but in the end it is the Serie A title despite bigger dreams that were definitely justified. When you are in a shape like Napoli and you are up against AC Milan and you can advance to the champions league semifinal, I think then it would have been a superb season. They wouldn't necessarily have to win the title, but the semifinal was so well deserved that I think there is now also a lot of disappointment.

Well that can't be done anymore now for Napoli because they can only do something very good for Serie A only, as for the Champions League even though their performance is actually still very worthy but obviously they are eliminated quite painfully now, even so they also played very well this season for the Champions League, it's just that luck is not always on their side.

Even though Napoli deserves to go further in the Champions League but yeah you are right that luck is not on Napoli's side in the Champions League. because even in terms of play Napoli is far above AC Milan at the moment with the presence of Osimhen on the field. but bad luck befell Napoli when their mainstay player Osimhen had to rest due to injury and could not play in the first leg of the quarter-finals and resulted in Napoli narrowly losing to Milan. and in the second leg Milan did well, namely they managed to continue to withstand the pressure of Napoli. but after all that Napoli still have awards they can achieve, namely in Serie A. and currently Milan and Inter Milan may be one of them will fight to reach the final in the Champions League. I think the teams from Serie A should be appreciated. because currently there are even 2 teams that qualify for the semi-finals in the Champions League, namely Inter and Milan.

[Distraction]

Inter's performance level in the Champions League these days is proving a point here. They aren't bad actually. They are just not able to reflect the same performance on the Serie A matches recently.

Maybe after seeing that they have a really significant chance to even qualify for the finale they just wanted to push it to the limit in the Champions League. They are doing a pretty good work about that right now also. They are about to eliminate Benfica without having serious difficulties. But while doing this they had better not lose their complete focus on the Serie A. Because they are still out of top four area and this might cost them a Champions League ticket later on.

Napoli performance was superb this season,regardless of their lost to AC Milan during the absence of Oshimen. They have the best record this season and they shouldn't feel bad that they couldn't qualify to the semifinals of UCL. Assuming Oshimen played the first leg,Napoli would have qualified because they were in possession of the ball through out the match but couldn't break the deadlock in AC Milan goal post. AC Milan was also desperate to win yesterday's match from the way they played and the opportunities they created but couldn't make good use of it.

Even though now Napoli can't qualify for the Champions League semi-finals, I think this doesn't make them down and sad, their appearance at the Championship I think it's good, besides they were able to change the score even though they couldn't comeback from Ac Milan, in terms of matches I saw Napoli far away superior to AC Milan, and it's just that AC Milan has more experience in the Champions League, we assume that maybe Napoli has lost a little in its performance due to the absence of several key players.

Napoli actually has great and strong players but only lost in the champions league as you said that lost experience by ac milan.
Even though they failed to enter the semi-finals, Napoli are still proud of the achievements they got in the Italian league with good performance and are still ranked 1st in the Italian league.
Maybe Napoli's failure will be a valuable lesson to be the best in the league next season and I'm sure Napoli will be even better.

In general, Napoli have also tried to look better in the UCL this season, even though luck has not been on Napoli's side this season in the UCL, but Napoli still has one trophy that they are likely to get this season, namely the Serie A trophy. And now Napoli is only need to focus more on Serie A for the rest of the season because Napoli's appearance this season has been extraordinary even though they had to be eliminated in the UCL

Napoli has an excellent squad. But the squad is not experienced enough. And more importantly, Napoli doesn't have a decent replacement if any player in the squad gets injured. This is why Napoli's performance against AC Milan was not good. If Napoli wants to dominate Serie A and the Champions League next season, they will definitely need to add some talented players to their squad. If not, we will not see a consistent performance from the Napoli team next season. Because in the next season, every team in Serie A will try their best to increase their ability.

Losing Osimhen for a few weeks is also a frightening specter for Napoli in this regard because indeed with that, they are lacking in goal productivity and that makes a big difference when there is Osimhen and not.
Well, even if they fail, appreciation must still be given especially with their condition which this season is actually much better than last season, even though they only reached the top 8 in the Champions League it's still better and now their focus is only Serie A.

Napoli should have been able to win that match when they could work well as a team and not rely solely on Oshimen.Maybe AC Milan has read Napoli's strategy so they provide a very tight guard for Oshimen and don't get the ball easily, making it difficult for Oshimen to score goals and making tonight's match end in a draw.

[DiMarxist]

Napoli this season was extraordinary, they controlled Serie A without any significant rival which meant proving that they were very consistent and regarding their failure to make it to the semi-finals of the UCL this season because they lost to AC Milan, Napoli has a very decent performance to become a champion.The absence of osimhen was giving very big impact on the performance of napoli.Napoli actually has great performance and strong players but only lost in the champions league. They have the best record this season.Napoli are still proud of the achievements they got in the Italian league with good performance and are still ranked 1st in the Italian league.

It hurts that they have lost to the same team in a row which makes it a bit claustrophobic for Napoli.
For Serie A it is very good but on the other hand it is limited to that, even though they are quite a favorite in the Champions Legaue especially with a bracket which is actually quite good.

But even so, I think this season is still a good season for Napoli because their long wait has now been realized and their focus now is Serie A with a win that must continue even if the current conditions are quite favorable.

Napoli seemed to find an unlucky point in the season when they met AC milan where they failed to show the best quality they have shown so far. Napoli were only able to win the first meeting in Serie A and after that they lost 0-4 and two matches in the Champions League ended in one defeat and another ended in a draw. even the match between the two took place very heatedly in the ucl but in the end Napoli had to give up with Ac milan who was able to win the match with an aggregate score of 1-2.

Thus the result of the match earlier between Benfica vs Inter Milan where Inter Milan was able to qualify for the next round and of course the two Serie A teams met again in the semifinals between AC Milan vs Inter Milan.

I don't think if it's just about luck, Unfortunately, Napoli needs some players so much and the whole team is dependent on these players like Osimhen, and since they didn't have this player in the game against they lost the game and even in the second leg of champions league because of the last game they lost without Osimhen they failed once again.

Serie A has good news, one of the Serie A teams will be in the UCL final, I was expecting Napoli but it looks like luck is not on their side. Inter and Milan are having great success because they both qualified for the semi-finals UCL, but they will compete for a final seat, although in series A Inter and Milan are not very stable and inconsistent, but both of them made a surprise at the big UCL event.

Statistically, Inter Milan head to head is better. They have a good record against AC Milan, but this season it seems that Milan is better, as evidenced in their Serie A table above Inter. Previously, Milan also success to beat strongest team in Serie A this season that's a Napoli team, and of course maybe they will be very motivated to win there against Inter. But any records for that match can't be used as a reference, because at UCL event is too difficult to guess.

[Velvet78]

Inter players might be a little tired after playing the second leg against Benfica in the Champions League. I wonder how good they will play against Empoli away next time in the Serie A. This game is important for them because of their chance's still on for top four. They are right behind Milan by only two points which is a gap that can be closed in a short time.

It depends on how Milan will return as well because their morale must have also been improved by advancing to next stage in the CL. Let's see which side will do better. My favourite is Milan considering the recent performances in league games.

Between inter milan and Ac milan one of them will be in the Champions league final this season. This is the semifinal that brought together the two Serie A giants in European competition. I think these two teams are big icons from Serie A representatives who are able to show their best quality in the champions league this season.  Indeed, they have quite big obstacles and they can go through everything to be able to penetrate the semifinals this season.

In Serie A, these two teams are relatively unstable in their performance, especially Inter Milan, which is in a slump after being knocked out of the top 4. But in the champions league they are pretty good in every game which makes this derby a pretty.

Italian League has a game on Sat, Apr 22 in this game Verona vs Bologna two teams are preparing to play. We have seen in the previous game between Verona and Bologna in the last 5 matches between these two teams Verona won 1 match and lost 2 matches.  Draw in remaining 2 matches.Bologna has won 2 matches and lost 1 match.

I was quite surprised to see how bologna was having almost the same odds as the verona. Bookies were favoring verona. Verona is placed in the relegation zone while bologna is still in the middle of standing in serie a. The gap is too big. Bologna gonna be winning easily against verona. The result can be answered easily without even looking at the statistic between both. it's caused by the performance from verona being really bad right now. It means that verona needs to work so hard to beat bologna.


Blogona was still consistently performing so well. Bologna may not win all of the last give matches but it's able to force its opponent to get draw. The match against verona gonna be another easy match for bologna. Bologna is also the worst team in serie this season. The chance for bologna to win this season is quite small at this moment. I would not be surprised if this is easy game for bologna. Bologna is too strong for verona.

Serie A is now overtaking the Bundesliga in the five year UEFA coefficient ranking. That helps them to keep the distance to Ligue 1, but even the Bundesliga is far enough away from France to protect their four starting spots in the Champions League. Serie A has been a bit in danger a while ago, but now they aren't anymore since they did a great job internationally this year.

Honestly Serie A lost their position among top leagues in Europe because of crisis financially of many big clubs. This in turn caused a lot of negative impacts on their clubs from unable to keep their best star players, without enough necessary financial budget to buy new star players to enhance their power and competitiveness as well as lost their best coaches to foreign clubs in either Premier League or La Liga.

However, I am not doubtful about the quality of Italian players, their traditional tactics which is very famous and efficiently work in practice, Catenaccio and quality of their coaches. When their finance get good improvement, they can have better squad and they will become more competitive in Champions League, Europa League and Conference League. Challenge for them is maintaining good and healthy balance sheet to keep up their quality in a long run.

Probably the Italian league clubs have spread out their chances of competing with the other elite clubs in the competition. It wasn't an easy task for them but they probably know the exact spot to triggered inother to reach this far. The both club have key players and already gather experience players in the club, AC Milan Frontline is fire, pairing Raphael Laeo and Olivier Giroud will be boosted combo for the club. While Martinez and Lukaku will also do good amazing pairing for Inter Milan. The Milan derby will be an incredible game and battle for the UCL final spot.

[LUCKMCFLY]

I don't know when Inter are finishing this bad streak in the league. This was their fourth loss on last five weeks of the league. I really don't have any idea about the reason why they are so bad now. Because all these things started suddenly and Inter just can't do anything to fix this situation. Their last three games ended up with losses. There is no such situation like they have no goal left in the league either.

Because they are still trying to qualify for the Champions League by securing top four. This is really alarming for them as a result.

they lost two home matches and they didn't even score, they got a match in coppa italia today against Juventus, i wonder if they can bounce back there even though it's going to be really tough for them.

Today match will be very important for both teams especially inter, winning this match will surely bring back confidence to the club before champions league match against benfica but the mission will not be easy for them because also Juventus aim to win the cup and save their season

It is imperative that Inter win, and they have to win for sure, because they have been showing a very low level of resistance in the matches, obviously it is reflected in the results and in the goals they have scored, Italian football has always been characterized for being very defensive, but this time Inter have to appeal to their best attackers to do the best of all jobs winning and scoring goals, some teams have surprised me so far Roma and Milan, Inter is one of the Teams that have always been the toughest in Serie A, it is time for them to recover what they have.

I can't deny that Serie A is very exciting, I don't deny it, as far as I'm concerned I think things are going very well, now Serie A is gaining the fame that it should always have, of course it needs more Famous players arrive, but that is little by little, many years ago the league that was seen the most was the Italian one, now things can rotate, many talk about the Bundesliga, which at some point seemed boring to them although I think now it is very exciting , it became more relevant now, I hope things continue to improve for Serie A because the games are very good, just the detail of Juve's -15 points, which is something I didn't like.

That is probably one reason, but if you see that as the major reason then the question is how corrupt are other leagues? There is a lot going in La Liga, for example the payments from Barcelona (and potentially other clubs) to the president of the referee association. They said it is only for consulting, sure...

In the Serie A the best club has been Juventus Turin and they played a role in international soccer for a long time, but there list of scandals and also sanctioned scandals is so long. I don't know but I think that those scandals and on top of that the lack of global superstars make the league less attractive for advertisement and broadcasting rights, which in turn means less revenue and therefore lower salaries and weaker competitiveness.

But as you said, usually Italien players are strong players. I don't know how their youth is doing and what the soccer development infrastructure looks like, but they have been a strong competitor internationally for so long. But to be fair now, we might have an Italian Champions League winner very soon.
