Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[alpamar99]

Great, after Milan managed to get the three points and then, Inter also looks like they will win the away match against AS Roma which means, Milan and Inter don't really mind for the next match in the Champions League. Because if Milan and Inter prioritize the Champions League, then of course Milan and Inter will not easily win in today's match.

But what happened was that Milan and Inter were able to win from the first half, at least the victory they got at half time proved that Milan and Inter were also still very focused on being able to finish in the top four in the Serie A standings. For me, this is very interesting moment, because it is quite rare to find a team like this when faced with focusing on two big competitions at the same time.

Now the score is 0-1 for Inter and of course this is apart from being a real threat for Lazio, right now the fight from position 2-4 is still very much within anyone's reach.
The match between Inter and Roma is still quite long and they cannot feel satisfied with this one goal because of course this is not enough to secure 3 points especially for this second half Roma seems to change some conditions and try to improve the situation.

Milan had a good game today because Lazio didn't show much ambition after they went down 2 goals to nil in the early minutes of the first half. I don't enjoy the game much because both clubs played less entertaining football and provided fewer goal-scoring opportunities. But it is an important three-point for Milan. Lazio just lost a chance to increase their grip on the second position. Hernández's was just extraordinary, it will compete for the goal of the season.

Roma is still struggling to get an equalizer in the match against Inter. The match has product many goal attempts but Inter is fortunate to have just one. This match is far from over because Mourinho is a good coach that can make some changes which can make the game to change in favor of Lazio.

[BTCGalaxyA12]

Milan rose to 4th place after getting full points in this match and the difference in points with Juventus is 2 points, the Juventus and Atalanta matches must be won by Juventus if you want Juventus to stay in the top 4, because today is a match for top clubs who are fighting for 4 big. at least i won the bet holding milan today

Our position has dropped again because Inter Milan now won over AS Roma at the Olimpico Stadium.
This means that the difference in points between AC Milan and Juventus will be the same as Inter Milan if Inter wins until the match is over. 80 minutes into their game now. If Roma are able to hold a draw, the difference with Inter Milan is only 1 point.

AC Milan should have an easy win against Spezia and Sampdozia in their next games because they have a more balanced team this season than them and their performance can not be compared with the other teams but it's not going to be an easy game for AC Milan because Spezia is fighting to come out of the relegation zone because they are 17th in the table with 27points a win for them will see them have 30points while they face relegation if they are defeated and Verona wins their game.Sampdoria is already relegated but they will also play to make their fans happy.

It should have been easy to do against Spezia and Sampdoria because the victory over them was the main capital for finding a place in fourth place in the standings.
We'll see, hopefully there will be no drama in the two matches later.

After a comfortable victory over Lazio, Milan are back into 4th place. It was quite an easy win as Lazio's performance were very poor. To be honest, the way they played, they don't really deserve to be in the Top 4. One can only imagine how they would fare on a Champions League night against some of the best teams in Europe, it would be embarrassing for Serie A. Lazio's recent record hasn't been great either, having lost 3 out of their last 4 Serie A matches. As for their Champions League hopes, it's still up in the air. Looks like the race for the Top 4 will be a closely contested affair and might come down to the final match day.

But Milan position in the top 4 is currently being shifted by Inter,  because currently Inter are in the lead with score 2 vs Roma. Yes, recently Lazio has been inconsistent they have had nightmares in the last five matches. Because Lazio Juventus Inter and Milan gap point is very close, so you're right that the UCL ticket for Lazio is still in the air.
By the way Lazio next match against Lecce and the last time they met was in January, Lecce success to got three points from Lazio. With Lazio recent poor performance it looks like they won't easily get three points, although next match they will be playing at home.

[xzone]

AC Milan managed to win 2 goals without reply over Lazio, this was a match between 2 top teams and this victory opened up AC Milan's opportunity to be in the top 4 of the Serie A standings.

and the AS Roma vs Inter Milan match is in progress, Inter Milan managed to lead by 1 goal in the first half, if you look at the performance of the two teams in the first half then I see a very big chance for Inter Milan to maintain their advantage or even score again in the second half.

I think Lazio played pretty badly, I would expect the players to be much more willing in such a critical game. They had to catch plenty of chances and score goals, but we didn't see a successful offensive, there wasn't even a good shot. If Juventus win the next match, they can move up to 2nd place.
On the other hand, the Inter match is going very well. They are currently leading 2-0 against Roma, if the match ends like this, Milan will be placed in 5th place

[KTChampions]

Damn. Inter leads 2 goals and it is obvious that Roma will not fix anything in 5 minutes. Now Roma is becoming an obvious outsider in the fight for the top 4, and with the defeat of Lazio from Milan, the position of Lazio is also becoming very precarious. Lazio have 4 relatively easy games ahead of them and I hope they can at least squeeze out some of the big four in the fight for Champions League places, otherwise even with Napoli's title it will be a regular Serie A season.

It was an away game for Lazio and Lecce was in much better shape, than they are now. Most likely, Lazio will be able to win this match, because the price of victory is too high. Of the remaining fixtures for Lazio, Udinese might be the toughest one, the rest of the teams are not as strong, but it's still Serie A and it can be anything as teams at the top of the standings often drop points where they shouldn't do. Yes, it looks like Intre knocks Roma out of this race for the top 4 and moves Milan to fifth place.

Milan won and saved himself from the position of being out of the next Champions League.

Meanwhile, Inter is winning too and the teams behind Napoli are so close right now...

Inter and Milan both won but they are two points apart at the moment, Milan is out of the way of the Champions League zone but we will see at the end but I see Inter going up against other top teams like Napoli and Atalanta.

Now it's just waiting for Juventus, Atalanta currently wants to continue to chase points close to the Champion's league zone, but will it be better than Juventus? Don't think Juventus will lose they also want to stay in their current position.

Napoli have already won the Scudetto in the fight for the champions league spot which is still open to anyone.

[Webetcoins]

To be fair even though Napoli has been great this season, that has something to do with other teams not being that great as well. I mean there are 3 famous big names in the league, Inter, Milan and Juventus and none of them got close to them at all which means that Napoli did great but other teams didn't do well enough to be close to them at all. This is why it is getting to be a bit more Napolis success as much as fail of other teams as well.

I understand that it would not be bad for Napoli because they did great this season and they would be doing amazing. I hope that the best thing for them would be just focusing on next season and roster, because if they can keep this up, they could actually make a lot of money for them if they keep this going for a long time.

In Italy, we have many famous teams like Inter Milan, Ac Milan, and Juventus and this season they all had a bad season otherwise Napoli couldn't win the title easily, for example, Juventus lost the 15 points they got it back but this effect the team atmosphere and performance in the other hand Inter Milan had an unstable performance during this season, regardless of that Spalletti proved himself as a great coach for Napoli.

I agree, plus all those teams did had wins but a lot of losses against Napoli as well, consider all those teams getting two wins against Napoli this season, compared to just some of them getting some wins, the difference would have been huge, Napoli would had a lot less points today and that is why I honestly believe that it would not be a good idea for Napoli, and they got lucky in that regard. They had the luck of being able to play great on a season everyone else played terrible.

If this were to happen in any year for the past 5-6 years, some other team would have been good enough to fight them for the title without a doubt. In any case, good job for them, they did a great thing and this success will be on their trophy room forever.

it's really interesting to see the competition for the runner up position in series a this season, milan's 2-0 victory over lazio, making inter and juventus have the same points and the possibility that if juventus wins against atalanta then juventus will be in 2nd place. personally did not expect juventus to be in 2nd place after the many difficulties that juventus had at the start of the season so that the issue of allegri would be replaced.

I thought this match would end in a draw with both teams scoring goals, but it seems that even playing at home Roma are unable to score. Inter, who are currently starting to rise, continue to get convincing wins over their opponents and now the latest victim is Roma.

This result made Roma immediately shot to the bottom 7 in the standings and it seems that other teams also got pretty good results in yesterday's match. Next, we will see another big match between Atalanta and Juventus which will take place tomorrow and of course this will also be a tough competition for the teams fighting to secure the champions league zone.

[D-law]

The both Milans have won with the same number of goals today
The midweek Champions League meeting is approaching so fast and they will face themselves two hot rivals bringing the heat to the semi finals. I want to see inter milan qualify a look at Roma and they don't look so serious.

Inter again continued its positive trend this week. Simone Inzaghi's men managed to sink Roma at the Olimipico, this was an extraordinary result for the Nerazzurri. The victory achieved by Inter made the competition for Champions League tickets even tighter. An additional three points made the Nerazzurri up to fourth place. Now Inter's chances of finishing in the Champions League zone are getting stronger and it is also possible to reach the runner-up position.

Meanwhile for Roma, this defeat makes them farther away from re-entering the competition in the top four. The Giallorossi are also in danger of not being able to play in European competition next season if Atalanta always looks better. But Jose Mourinho still has that gap by getting his team back to winning ways and while hoping the team above it slips.

Now it's just waiting for Juventus, Atalanta currently wants to continue to chase points close to the Champion's league zone, but will it be better than Juventus? Don't think Juventus will lose they also want to stay in their current position.
Napoli have already won the Scudetto in the fight for the champions league spot which is still open to anyone.

Milan might fall down to the 6th position if Atalanta is consistent enough. But that's considering the fact that Atalanta will be able to win every match that is left.
Juventus has a very good chance of getting ahead in the second position. Juventus finishing in the second position is going to be an achievement in itself.
Inter should be able to finish in the top 4 if they can continue performing as they are right now. Consistency is going to be the key for them.

And also congratulations to Napoli for being able to win the league title .

Milan and Inter both achieved positive results this week. Milan, who were able to achieve positive results over Lazio, made them have hope of staring at the Champions League zone. Meanwhile, Inter were also able to appear extraordinary at home to Rome and managed to bring home three points. Now the competition for 2-4 places is getting more interesting, Lazio, which has been in second place for quite a long time, is also starting to be threatened. The second position has a very high chance of being overtaken by Juventus if they are able to win over Atalanta. But for sure I quite enjoy the competition and it will be very interesting until the end of the season.

[alastantiger]

But I think Lazio will find it difficult to penetrate AC Milan's defense. Because even though Ac Milan has not performed optimally in the last 2 weeks, Milan's defense is still a very solid defense and difficult to penetrate. Maybe Ac Milan's current productivity can be said to be in a bad condition. Even Milan's current attack pattern is not so sharp. But in this match I think Milan also doesn't want to lose the opportunity to get back into the top 4 by getting full points. But the result of this match looks like it could end in a draw.

Am very sure Inter millan will not give Roma any breathing space or chance to have any point in todays match.
I have a little confidence in Ac Millan because their attack seems to have improved more than Juventus. Juventus is and will continue to secure their present position. I don't think they are aiming to go above that which Napoli and Lazio are not giving any team chance to go above them. I think inter has a higher chance of finishing in 2nd place, well it depends on there performance.

Yes, it's true that even Inter milan was able to beat As Roma with a 2-0 result and this is very good for Inter milan to continue to increase points and catch up on Juventus points which really don't have consistent performance in this league.
Actually for me Juventus doesn't deserve third place at the moment while Ac milan and Inter milan really deserve to be third and I'm sure that Inter can replace Juventus.

[Oneandpure]

Next, we will see another big match between Atalanta and Juventus which will take place tomorrow and of course this will also be a tough competition for the teams fighting to secure the champions league zone.

Current standing, AS Roma has 5 points left behind Inter Milan as latest standings for Champion League spot, I don't sure with AS Roma has chance for qualifying to  Champion League next season with four matches left. Jose Mourinho has bad record when facing with bigger teams and losing from Inter Milan make their position dropped. Actually if can consistent on four matches left seems has chance for catching up Inter Milan points because all matches left against with mediocre teams.

Juventus has advantage after Milan defeating Lazio, they has chance move up to second position if winning against Atalanta, seems interested with top fourth position between Juventus, Lazio and Inter have difference one points only.

[Z-tight]

Juventus are now in the top four in Seria A, who would have believed it was possible when 15 points was deducted from them some months ago, but the players did not give up and the 15 points deduction was overturned and a few weeks later Juventus are back in the Seria A top four, it is very dramatic, the Seria A top four challenge is also very dramatic. If Juventus beat Atalanta tomorrow they are moving up to second position.

I am sorry for Roma fans, but i don't feel their team can make it into the top four this season, they are 7th now, after that loss to Inter milan, but Mourinho still has a chance of taking his team to the champions league next season, and that is if they will the Europa league this season.
