Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Uruhara]

The loss against Napoli yesterday was very unfortunate because the game was almost ending. They ensured that Napoli had little or no opportunity to get a goal. Victor Osimhen was closed marked but Giacomo Raspadori was superb. He took the strike without allowing Juventus' defenders to attack him.

But Juventus is one of the best teams in Europe. Massimiliano Allegri infused a possibility mentality in the players that even with the 15-point reduction, they kept fighting. Most clubs would have been discouraged and players would have started planning for transfers but the team stayed together and fought to date. Their Europa semifinals games against Sevilla will be tough but they have what it takes to win the trophy. I don't think Juventus will consider sacking Max Allegri because he has performed more than expected.

The goal by di Maria in the 82nd minute should counted, but Milik Male s foul, i don’t think that was a good decision by VAR. If it had been 1:0 for Juventus, they would now be second in the league and Napoli would only be 13 points ahead. But it is all different, they lead with 17 points and catch the record. Only 7 games left in the season and 21 possible points, so will we see the new Italian Champion in the next 2 matchdays? Or maybe 3 - 4 matchdays, not more.

I think Napoli can celebrate their victory to win the championship trophy this season earlier after getting another 2-3 wins. Even though I actually expected Napoli to be at the top of the Champions League, it seems that bad luck befell Napoli when playing for the Champions League.

but in Serie A at the moment Juventus is like getting a miracle. because surely who did not expect that the deduction of 15 points would be cancelled. and I totally agree about Juventus continuing to fight even when they are at a disadvantage. ie when they get penalized they have to start over from the middle of the table. but they keep getting successive wins. and only a few defeats they get. and now miraculously they are back in 3rd place due to cancellation of sanctions. Their defeat by Napoli yesterday also did not have much effect on the standings. because I'm sure that in the next match Juventus will get full points again. because Bologna, who will be the next opponent, will certainly not make things difficult for Juventus.

and I really appreciate Massimiliano Allegri and the Juventus players who have not experienced a decline even though we know that there have been many problems within Juventus, both internal and external problems. but the coach was able to build the confidence of the players to keep fighting to the fullest. and this is work that really deserves appreciation from a Massimiliano Allegri.

The three consecutive defeats that Juventus have had in the last three matches, of course it is a bad result and if for example Juventus does not qualify for the semi-finals in the Europa League and also, if for example Juventus does not get back 15 points. So of course, right now Juventus are very down, and I really don't think Juventus will have a bad result like this.

So yes, lucky Juventus to make it through to the semi-finals of the Europa League and also, lucky Juventus to get back 15 points and at least that keeps Juventus in the top four. But unfortunately, if Juventus' performance does not improve properly, then of course Juventus can still get out of the top four and if that happens, then of course it will be a very regrettable result.

Losing to Lazio and Napoli maybe this is still understandable, but losing to Sassuolo is really bad even though it's the reason they want to focus on the Europa League which is scheduled too close together.
This is a little bit not good because they really need to grow confidence now to make the condition better.
The first 1 leg against Sevilla is still a long way off, it's just that there are some troublesome opponents on the schedule such as the Italian Cup semi-final against Inter as well as Bologna and Atalanta in their continued schedule in Serie A.

Atalanta 0 - 0 Roma after 23 minutes of the game. There isn't serious opportunities from both sides and Atalanta have better odds although their bad results lately comparing to Roma.
Both teams needs these 3 points. Roma have to secure a Champions League spot and Atalanta have to reach any European competition spot.
The return of Juventus to top 4 made everyone puzzled there

Atalanta is leading the game against roma with one goal. If Atalanta defeat Roma by the end of the game will deprive Roma from not having full points,  which will make roma and ac milan to have the same points.  This game is very important for Roma  to add up points to still retain their position  .

In the 39 minutes, Mario Pasalic successfully scored from Zapata assist, in the first half of this match Atalanta managed to lead with a score of 1-0. Currently Roma looks difficulty to scored even though there were some good opportunities at there, if Atalanta manage to defend really well they will get three points tonight with comfortably, but I hope Roma can get scored in this game to a draw results because they must get points tonight.

But it seems to be over now for Roma as Atalanta just scored the second. Mourinho already made four changes early on and I thought that might bring the power they need to turn the game around. I don't know what Roma's strategy is for the rest of the season. Mourinho is a European competitions guy, but he would not give away a strong season final and let easily go of a Champions League qualification. I thought that Roma would perform better this game after they could have gained so much confidence from the Europa League. But Roma hasn't been that stable throughout the season except for their last few games. They have played a solid season, but nothing extraordinary. Though they shouldn't allow for the Champions League to get threatened towards the end of the season.

temporary score of 2-0 where atalanta is leading for the time being.  I'm not sure Rome can turn things around because the match has entered the 84th minute where Atalanta will try hard to be able to secure full points in this match. So if Rome loses then AC Milan will rise to 4th place because it benefits from goal productivity.

we'll see how roma will fight in the rest of this normal time.  now for the top 4 positions in Serie A this season there is quite tough competition from Rome, Inter Milan and AC Milan and even Juventus is not safe enough to be in 3rd place if they don't find the best performance in the upcoming match.

Wow, two goals in two minutes and Roma's chances to equalize have vanished again - 3-1 at the moment. It is rather paradoxical that such a viscous heavy game has become so productive. A bad surprise from Roma (I predicted them 1-0), but in Serie A you shouldn't be surprised at anything. It is a pity that now they have seriously worsened their chances for the top 4.

A surprise occurred in this match where Roma were able to reduce the lag from Atalanta through a goal scored by Pellegrini, but only 1 minute later Atalanta increased their advantage through Koopmeiners in 84 minutes, where the current position is 3-1. I thought Rome would lose the match there would be no miracles that would come in the remaining minutes of the second half.

This defeat is quite painful considering that Rome is struggling to maintain the ranking but Atalanta is not a weak opponent for them. between ac milan and roma they collected the same points in closing the match this week but ac milan excelled in goal productivity which made them move up to 4th place.

The final score was 3-1 and Roma had to accept defeat with Atalanta even though the game was more dominant in Rome but that didn't mean they won the fact they had to lose today.

Look at the matches in week 32 where the competition for the 4th place in the standings will be even tighter, Roma vs AC Milan and Inter Milan vs Lazio this is really tense but I see from the perspective of the Inter vs Lazio match, if Inter loses then it will be difficult to win the standings but if Inter win then the chance is still there.

Even though Roma performance wasn't very good, at least the audience had something to watch during the second half of the game. For Atalanta that win was quite substantial with regards to the last seven games. They have now preserved the chance to qualify for Europe and perhaps they can even finish 4th.

One of the major advantages for Atalanta could now be that all the teams in front of them, Inter, Roma, Milan and Juventus are still playing in more than one competition. Inter and Juventus are both playing in three competitions. The next two games are a great chance for Atalanta to catch up before they are up against Juventus, but they can even beat them given that Juventus has to concentrate on so many competitions.

Roma's defeat was not surprising. I think Atalanta is a team that deserved to win the match. Atalanta has been very motivated to stop their bad trend after losing a lot of points in the last 2 matches. They should have played well and won the home match, but because of that Roma had to bite their fingers because Milan actually managed to maintain their position in 4th place in the standings.

There is the most interesting game of the week between Roma and Milan. It was a match that would determine the chances of both teams qualifying for next season's Champions League. Roma have the home advantage, but Milan is the team that is likely to be able to win the match after its success in qualifying for the Champions League semi-finals.

This is indeed a bit surprising when you see the results of the match between Atalanta vs Roma. As I thought, Roma played quite well and dominated the game. However, unfortunately they waste a lot of opportunities. Meanwhile, Atalanta is quite smart in optimizing opportunities on the counterattack So they won, they even took the lead with a final score of 3 - 1. I think that some of us thought that Roma would slaughter Atalanta because of their recent performance. However, the results were quite surprising.

[DiMarxist]

Atalanta lead the game until the of the match, Atalanta scored one goal in first half for thirty nine minutes, and maintain the one goal until the first half end, and the second half start they still maintain the goal, and score another goal in seventy four minutes. And in eighty three Roma manage score one goal. Eighty four minutes Atalanta score again, and end the match with 3:0. Roma tried there best in the match, they play well too.  First half possession was
Atalanta              Roma
45 possession   55
And second half game change
Atalanta             Roma
3 Short on target 1
37 Possession 63.

How come it's not surprising, Roma facing Atalanta have pretty good capital after they were able to win the last 3 matches in Serie A even in this match Roma is the favorite to win, but in the Roma have to give up from Antalanta with a score of 3-1. Isn't this their bad trend in maintaining their ranking on the standings. Apart from that, Atalanta didn't play very well in this match, even Roma was superior in all aspects, but they had difficulty taking advantage of every attack they built to become a goal.

Indeed, on the other hand, Roma defeat was quite painful for myself, because I bet for Roma in this match, but they were unable to win this match. Now, in the next match, I think Roma will lose again against AC Milan because AC Milan has a strong mentality after they managed to come back against Lecce.

Here are the complete statistics for the Atalanta vs Roma match.

Source: Livescore Serie A.



Based on match statistics, Roma dominated ball possession and the number of shots. The problem is that most of their shots don't aim on target where they only make 1 shot on target that results in goal. Meanwhile, Atalanta, their good finishing when they have opportunities has allowed them to score 3 goals against Roma. Of course great for Atalanta, it was the home win they were hoping for.

[Ratash]

Atalanta vs roma game was a really interesting one especially on the second half, roma team dominated the first half but unfortunatly for them they conceided a goal at the worst possible time in the end of the first half and in the second half they tried their best but they failed to score and conceided the second one which was what broke them, this loss was bad for roma because milan team took their place and they are out of the top four.

[jakdanyel]

It was a really bad day for Roma. They had a big opportunity to be hopeful after dropping the goal difference to one. But they couldn't even celebrate the goal properly because of getting an answer for that right away. However it was completely Patricio's fault. He shouldn't have made a very simple mistake like that. Pellegrini had a chance to give another hope to his team by a free-kick but he targeted the post.

I was waiting for Roma to have some difficulties and maybe not to win as well. But this result was heavier than my expectation. Atalanta weren't even in a good form before this match. Roma just need to concentrate on the Serie A again. Yes they are doing great in the Europa League and they are one of the biggest title contenders. But they had better secure top four for themselves as well not to risk their Champions League ticket.

How come it's not surprising, Roma facing Atalanta have pretty good capital after they were able to win the last 3 matches in Serie A even in this match Roma is the favorite to win, but in the Roma have to give up from Antalanta with a score of 3-1. Isn't this their bad trend in maintaining their ranking on the standings. Apart from that, Atalanta didn't play very well in this match, even Roma was superior in all aspects, but they had difficulty taking advantage of every attack they built to become a goal.

Everyone must be surprised, Roma is the favorite team to win and they even dominated the match. Roma also made more shooting attempts, but they failed to convert them into goals. It simply indicates that Roma players have bad accuracy in shooting. Anyway, Atalanta played impressively, they only have a few shoot attempts but they convert them to be 3 goals. Atalanta tactics work effectively, they didn't need to dominate the match to win it.

Indeed, on the other hand, Roma defeat was quite painful for myself, because I bet for Roma in this match, but they were unable to win this match. Now, in the next match, I think Roma will lose again against AC Milan because AC Milan has a strong mentality after they managed to come back against Lecce.

Roma is a bit difficult to predict. Even if they were defeated by Atalanta, it doesn't mean they will lose against AC Milan. Since it will be in Roma home, there is a big chance that Roma to win the upcoming match.

[execijutiere]

In the closing match of the week, we watched Atalanta vs Roma. Although Roma had more possession, they didn't score many goals. Atalanta was more active in this regard. Atalanta won the match 3-1 after leading 1-0 with a goal in the first half. Roma, on the other hand, scored with their only shot on target, at least away from home. In general we can't say they played very well. Maybe they are also more interested in the European Cup.

Meanwhile, Atalanta is quite smart in optimizing opportunities on the counterattack So they won, they even took the lead with a final score of 3 - 1. I think that some of us thought that Roma would slaughter Atalanta because of their recent performance. However, the results were quite surprising.

I think Roma displayed a high level of professionalism and maturity in their ball organization, particularly in their ability to convert shots into shots on target, they should have been goals but the goalkeeper was good at saving, too many chances for Roma, but they failed to capitalize on them and only managed to score one goal. I wasn't too surprised by Atalanta's ability to score three goals, they employed a defensive midfield with five players, which allowed them to quickly dissolve Roma's pressure but when Atalanta had their chances, they easily pass Roma and make sure it is not wasted as short on target but a goal that cannot be save by the goalkeeper.
