Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Velvet78]

You had better check the league rules again mate. 

Besides I didn't say that Juventus' beating Milan by at least two goals would carry them ahead of Milan right away. It looks like you didn't read my post careful enough but no problem. I said that if Juventus win against them like that they were going to have one last chance on the final week of the season. In that case let's say Juventus won and Milan got a draw or loss, then Juventus would take the fourth position from them as a result.  I hope you get my point now.

If I am not wrong this applies when the points are equal and the goal difference is equal too, is it not? I think that's the third thing that is looked it, is it the second? I always thought first the points, then the goal difference and then the head to head to check the rankings. If the goal difference doesn't matter does that mean Juventus could have 8 less difference, and could still win with 1 goal difference at head to head for example?

That doesn't feel rewarding, you play so many games all season long and you are better, but because of one bad game that means you are ranked lower due to head to head, it's unfair looking. Obviously the federation knows more than I do so if they did this then they might have considered all options I suppose.

I used Flashscore to check out this information and saw first that head-to-head games were being taken into account first in case of points' being equal. However when I check it out now there I see that the information has changed. It is score difference which is taken into account first now. I can't believe how they can make a simple mistake on a website which is visited very often.

I checked some teams in the standings to confirm that as well. For example Leverkusen and Frankfurt. Frankfurt are ahead in the head-to-head games. But Leverkusen still finished ahead of them despite the equal points situation. Because their score difference is bigger.

The other clubs are going to get stronger. I hope that Napoli will also be able to do that because otherwise, it is going to be really hard to keep up with the competition. As you mentioned that a lot of the players are going to leave Napoli. So it is going to be a tough job for them to find replacements of those players. Now maybe some players will stay in the club because they are currently the champion of Serie A. But at the same time, it is more practical for others to actually leave the club because they are already being approached by bigger clubs.

There will be a lot of change gonna happen in napoli. Spalletti already confirmed leave from the club in summer as well as min jae. That means if napoli will have different performance. You can't expect the new coach to have the same performance as previous coach caused by the new coach will have new strategy, line up and many things to be done to the napoli. in my opinion if napoli may not able to defend its trophy in upcoming season. Some clubs are become even better from this season.

Intermilan may have possibility to win scudetto next season as long as it will be performing with the same line up like this time.
I doubt if napoli will able to have perfect performance like this time.

[klidex]

Inter Milan and AC Milan are lucky as they have qualified for the Champions League. With Inter Milan's erratic performance at the start of the season, I thought they would not be in the top four of the table. However, Inter Milan and AC Milan have played quite well in the last few matches. Unlucky Juventus team, they could not qualify for the Champions League due to losing 10 points. But I don't think any Juventus player will leave the team because of not being able to play in the Champions League. Besides, Juventus have enough money. Even if a player leaves the team, Juventus can take qualified replacements.

Some of the players who are rumored to be leaving Juventus after this season are over are due to the expiration of their contracts, and don't think that Juventus will be destroyed next season because they don't play in the champions league because after all Juve is still a big club.
Most likely Juventus will only play in the Conference League, or Europa League if the two clubs above them or at least one of AS Roma or Atlanta loses in the last match and Juventus can get full points against Udinese, but that looks impossible because Atlanta will face Monza as the home team and also AS Roma will face Spezia as well as a home match, so the possibility of seeing both teams lose is difficult to materialize so Juventus will have to settle for the conference league.

It's fair to say that Juventus haven't had much success in Europe in a long time. I can't remember the last time they did well in the Champions League. This season in the Europa League they also failed to perform well. Hopefully in the Conference League next year they will be able to contend for a high result.

Juventus is one of the top teams in Serie A. But their performance has not been good in the last few seasons. Juventus won the last title in 2019-20 season. After that, their performance started to deteriorate. They are far behind this season. Hopefully next season Juventus team will aim to win the title. And trying to make their squad stronger. Juventus' squad is not stable. Juventus management needs to spend more money to stabilize the performance. Experienced players should be given a place in the squad.

There are so many factors that have affected Juventus' performance this season to decline and the main thing is the reduction in points at this club which makes players lazy or lack enthusiasm to compete strongly because of losing a champion's league ticket after towards the end of the season Juventus points were reduced due to a penalty.
I agree that the Juventus management must think hard about motivating their players or even replacing players who are not performing well at Juventus.

[BALIK]

Well, it's true that we can't predict too quickly what will happen to Napoli in the coming season. It's just that I'm also increasingly curious about which coach will be brought in by Napoli to replace Spalletti. And about Spalletti if he does leave and refuses to renew his contract with Napoli. so I think he will have no problem finding another team that can accept him as quite an extraordinary coach.

Right but my first thought here is that do you think he would behave the way he behaves when he wouldn't have any offers on the table already? Unless he has huge problems with the club leadership, which is possible, he would probably not act how he acts. My assumption is that his agent is already in touch with other clubs, he knows about it and can now play quite a bit of poker with Napoli as well. Or he already has a new contract but can't speak about it. That wouldn't surprise me.

I think we won't see Luciano Spalletti with Napoli next season. He did a great job with Napoli. No one could have imagined that Napoli would dominate Serie A this season. Napoli players were confident and their match strategy was very good. This is why Napoli's performance was consistent. Napoli is not facing obstacles to winning the Serie A title. And the contribution of coach Luciano Spalletti behind such a performance is very high. And so Luciano Spalletti will have no problem finding a new team. It won't be bad if Luciano Spalletti is the coach of PSG.

[naira]

But according to the news it was heard, some also said that Spalletti actually asked for a salary increase in his new contract, but was rejected by De Laurentiis. As a result, Spalletti chose to pull out from the city of Naples this summer.

This is a rumor that I just heard because previously it was only reported that he wanted to take a break for about a year from his busy life and I think because the pressure was very strong it made him feel a little bored and that's normal, but if it's true because Napoli's refusal to increase his salary proves that Napoli does not have enough money to maintain the team that Spalletti has worked so hard to build in recent years so the rumors that some of their players including their main striker will leave Napoli will become a reality because of course, Victor Osimhen will expect a bigger salary especially since he is still quite young and several clubs have shown interest in this striker who became the top scorer in Serie A this season.

The problem of stable money is clearly very important for the survival of a club. Retaining quality players must be supported with adequate funds. When Napoli already looks as if it will not have the funds to appoint several players for sale, it means very little for next season to be a worthy competitor. But I'm not sure that Napoli finances are so bad. It's just that the decision to sell players will have a bad impact.

We still haven't heard that Napoli is experiencing a financial crisis, it's just that maybe Napoli's management doesn't want to issue a higher salary that has been set, there are also other rumors about Spalletti raising this salary, they still don't know, but there is only news that he wants to rest, maybe there is a factor there are also others who can make Spalletti leave when Napoli are in their heyday.

Vitcor Osimhen is now being chased a lot and is being offered a higher salary than Napoli, with a market price that is quite high above 100 million euros, if Osimhen looks at it in terms of salary then he might look at other clubs and choose to move rather than at Napoli let alone be left by Spalletti later.

[Jody.Drummer]

As you can see that since dybala was able to play and roma's odd quite good even though it was losing against sevilla but it must move on as soon as possible.

There was europa league ticket that must be secured by the club to win the last match agianst spezia.
I hope that as roma will able to take it. Juventus will be going to the conference league if roma will win against spezia. that's good.

Now that they have been knocked out and failed to win a Champions League ticket because they lost to Sevilla, of course this will be a whip for them to maintain their position in the Europa League from Juventus now.
Their points are still close enough in this regard so that Atalanta, Juventus and Roma still have the same chance to be in the Europa League. They made few mistakes in this match, so it's possible that the Europa League will also leave Rome, so 3 points are a must at this time.

Left with no other option but they have to win their last match, their failure in the Europa League final requires them to win this match if they are to be in the Europa League for next season. I can say they are lucky, because in their last match they got an opponent who is easier on paper, because they have a much better performance than their opponent. Spezia must fight to save themselves from the relegation zone, that's because they also still have the same points as the clubs in the relegation zone. Both clubs will go all out in this match, but it looks like AS Roma will be able to secure 3 points.

Spalletti indeed confirmed will leave even so with some of star players i am sure they will following Spalletti steps with left Napoli too and if this is true i think Napoli will be hard to defend their title because most likely new manager will not able to get the same achievement just like Spalletti did because possibly they will rebuild this team and Napoli will experience a period of adaptation and transition under new manager so Napoli won't be as strong as it is now

I was wondering what is on the mind of Napoli owner Aurelio De Laurentiis because i heard why Spalletti want leave because he hasn't granted Spalletti demand who want salary increases and i think Spalletti deserved to get that but De Laurentiis is more likely to release Spalletti and find new managers however the names likes Antonio Conte, Thiago Motta and Vincenzo Italiano has been into Napoli next manager candidate so let see who is the new manager of this team

[hahay]

But I'm not sure that Napoli finances are so bad. It's just that the decision to sell players will have a bad impact.

But cases like this seem to have become a habit meaning, only the big teams are able to keep hold of their key players when the transfer window opens. Therefore, when there is a great player on a team who doesn't have big finances, they will also release the player to be included in the club's profits. But about Spalletti, basically Spalletti's contract has ended this June, so it's only natural that Napoli still wants Spalletti and Spalletti asks to increase his fee. Because after all, the main factor is about success and also, a new contract that should have been made.

I am very sure Roma will win, they have great motivation after failing in the Europa League final of course this is the only way for Roma to be able to play in the Europa League next season, although Spezia also has great motivation to win in order to escape the relegation zone but we have to look at these two teams in terms of strength and it is clear that Roma are stronger especially they will be playing in front of their own fans.

odds @ 2.03 are worth betting on and in my opinion it is quite tempting, I will not miss this match, I will bet big on AS Roma's victory.

Although no one can say for sure which team will win that match, but I think Roma is the most likely team to win it based on the odds. Roma will need to be motivated enough to win to qualify for next season's Europa League after their failure in this season's final, so it will surely pay off in disappointment for players and fans alike.

Of course Roma is not safe because it is only 1 point at odds with Juventus. Losing or drawing will only make Roma fail to qualify for the Europa League considering that Juventus still hope to reach the Europa League next season. I think the last match will be very interesting because for sure it is a final for several teams.

[rendravolt]

As you can see that since dybala was able to play and roma's odd quite good even though it was losing against sevilla but it must move on as soon as possible.

There was europa league ticket that must be secured by the club to win the last match agianst spezia.
I hope that as roma will able to take it. Juventus will be going to the conference league if roma will win against spezia. that's good.

Now that they have been knocked out and failed to win a Champions League ticket because they lost to Sevilla, of course this will be a whip for them to maintain their position in the Europa League from Juventus now.
Their points are still close enough in this regard so that Atalanta, Juventus and Roma still have the same chance to be in the Europa League. They made few mistakes in this match, so it's possible that the Europa League will also leave Rome, so 3 points are a must at this time.

Left with no other option but they have to win their last match, their failure in the Europa League final requires them to win this match if they are to be in the Europa League for next season. I can say they are lucky, because in their last match they got an opponent who is easier on paper, because they have a much better performance than their opponent. Spezia must fight to save themselves from the relegation zone, that's because they also still have the same points as the clubs in the relegation zone. Both clubs will go all out in this match, but it looks like AS Roma will be able to secure 3 points.

Surely Roma will risk everything through this match so they can play in the European league next season and for Mourinho this 3-point victory is very mandatory to be able to lead Roma to lift the European league title for the first time through next season. Maybe Spezia's chances of winning are non-existent and with the difference in the quality of the players it's quite clear that Roma will win easily in this match.

But as usual after scoring 1 or 2 goals Mourinho will do the bus parking strategy and it looks like this game will not produce more than 3 goals. So I'll bet on a Roma win for sure and at odds @2.03 it's sure to make a lot of money.

I think the last match will be very interesting because for sure it is a final for several teams.

Roma needs only a victory vs Spezia to get Europa League ticket or else wait for Juve to lose points. Ironically, Juventus and Roma have the same odds with 1.99 vs 3.9 for their opponents.
Atalanta have better odds too vs Monza so they might keep the other Europa League spot. Since Roma and Atalanta playing home and Juventus away, I am afraid the ranking will remain the same and Juve to move to Conference League next season.

Looks like it depends on Mourinho's mood whether he will field a full team squad or only lower a coating squad. Meanwhile, Roma must get three points to finish in the Europa League zone. But what I'm worried about is that Mourinho will no longer think about the consequences for Roma after they also failed in the Europa League final. I have a hunch that The Special One will leave the Giallorosi.

Around teams and players there are frequently rumours and conjectures in the world of football and Napoli is no exception. Although there may not be any evidence of a financial issue at Napoli it is conceivable that the players discontent may be related to the management unwillingness to pay greater salary. Rumours that Luciano Spalletti would leave could exacerbate the tense situation. Vitcor Osimhen a highly sought after player might be persuaded by offers from other teams who are willing to pay him well and provide him the opportunity to progress in his career. It is logical that Osimhen would think about looking into other choices if he feels underappreciated or uncertain about Napoli future course. But it is unclear whether these rumours will come to pass or if Napoli will be able to allay their players worries in order to keep their potential and regain stability inside the team.

[Rabata]

The last match between Juventus vs Milan was a very attacking game. Milan are currently in a good position in the Italian league and their style of play is good. They are fourth in the points table after beating Juventus in the last match. We know Juventus is a good team but they are not performing very well this season. And Milan has become a lot stronger this season, if they can win their next match, they will definitely be in a good place in the table points. as the best and strongest team this season, Nopali is at the top of the points table. Nopali is one of the champions in the Italian league, a club that is great in their style of play. No club will put Nopali's ability to occupy the place to give them points far ahead of any other team.

According to the statistics of the last 5 matches, the difference between these two teams is not much. Because Juventus have won just one of their last 5 matches while Milan have won two of their last five. However, both teams have lost three matches. Milan is trying to keep their winning streak which is a good sign. With a win in their last match, they occupy the 4th place in the points table with 67 points. On the other hand, Juventus is in the 7th position. There is not much difference in the points table between Milan and Internazionale. This team is in third position with 69 points.

Well, I'm also curious about what will happen to Napoli after Spalletti leaves the Napoli coaching bench. But if it turns out that Napoli can still be a strong team next season. so of course this is great news for Napoli fans. but if Napoli were a weaker team then of course many would regret the departure of Spalletti and several of Napoli's mainstay players.

It is true that Spalletti will go very likely. He wasn't willing to give any affirmation regarding his stay in Napoli and it seems that he has issues with his president as well.

But when you think about how strong a team Napoli will be next season, it is difficult to know that right now. Whenever a team like Napoli wins a championship, it is quite normal that they are scrutinized thoroughly for the strength of their players and there will also be offers. How many players they can keep or convince to stay in Napoli isn't known yet. Spalletti could have offers already because a coach who leads a team so good for so long during a season is also on the radar.

Well, it's true that we can't predict too quickly what will happen to Napoli in the coming season. It's just that I'm also increasingly curious about which coach will be brought in by Napoli to replace Spalletti. And about Spalletti if he does leave and refuses to renew his contract with Napoli. so I think he will have no problem finding another team that can accept him as quite an extraordinary coach.

What is certain is that in this case the departure of Spalletti will have a slight impact on Napoli's overall performance because indeed we might be able to get an example when Zidane left Madrid and decided to take a break until an unspecified time. Real Madrid's performance, consciously or not, was affected by further adjustments as well as for Napoli, who indeed Spalletti decided the same thing as Zidane did.
It's a shame actually but it was an absolute decision from Spalletti.

Luciano Spalletti's current age is indeed in the retirement age area. Namely, at this time Luciano Spalletti is already 64 years old. So it is very natural for Spalletti to decide to take a break from his profession as a coach. But Spalletti seems like he just wants to rest for a while. And maybe he will return to coach for other teams interested in him.

Regarding Napoli, it seems that they have targeted several new coach candidates to replace Spalletti. In fact, one of them who was mentioned as one of the candidates to become Napoli coach is Antonio Conte, whose name is already familiar to Premier League fans. well Conte is a former Tottenham coach who was sacked in March. and at the moment it seems that Antonio conte's status is still free.

There are some rumors that say that now there is the name Luis Enrique which is indeed currently unemployed but indeed this might also be a little difficult because indeed we know that now it seems that Enrique is more interested in being in the EPL than La Liga.
On the other hand, at this time, Aurelio De Laurentiis has also implemented special criteria to bring in coaches for Napoli, which in fact are quite important requirements and are still related to the ideology of the wishes of the Napoli president. They are reported to be now looking for a coach who has a fairly offensive scheme with 4-3-3 as one of the formations that really must be mastered. Actually, this is not something complicated, but sometimes things like this can also be troublesome because finding a match is not easy.

So this is what will actually make it difficult for Napoli to have a new coach who has a vision and mission that is in line with the club's owner. And it seems that Luis Enrique could also be a better fit for Napoli because he actually has experience coaching a team in the Italian league, namely AS Roma. even though it was quite a long time ago, namely in 2011. Meanwhile, Luis Enrique seems likely to be quite difficult to get into a team in the Premier League. because previously Luis Enrique was also heavily linked with one of the big teams from the English league, namely Chelsea. but it seems that Chelsea have stepped back because Luis Enrique seems to be a coach who has a slightly different vision and mission than the Chelsea coach.

Another name that is also rumored to be a candidate for Napoli coach is Roberto De Zerbi. but I don't have enough information about for this one. Because Roberto De Zerbi will definitely still feel at home in the Premier League, namely training Brighton. Because there he is still needed and has brought some good results for Brighton. so Brighton certainly won't let his new coach go. so I will consider one of the candidates on this one not to be included in the candidates that Napoli will get.

[KTChampions]

Victor Osimhen is a beast 25 goals
for example Lewandosky in Liga do 23 goals and he was proposed for Golden Ball

In his prime, Lewandowski was worthy of the Ballon d'Or, for example, Osimhen is now very far from this, although he may receive it in the future, it's hard to say.
Lewandowski made a big mistake by leaving the club, which, due to its top position, compensated for the age-related deterioration in Lewandowski's game, to a middle-class club where the decline in his game became obvious.
