Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[hahay]

That was a good year for Italian teams in Europe but that does not change the fact that the Serie A was extremely boring in the 2022/23 season as Napoli dominated from beginning to the end of the season.The other teams could not keep up with Napoli consistency and that totally destroyed the season in the eyes of the fan of this league,I am one of them,I have always loved this league as most of the times the title was not decided this early as last season and in most seasons the title was decided in the last couple of games.I hope things changes for the 2023/24 season and they have a good strong league locally and of course to win a competition in the European arena.

Even so, I think it was a pretty good season because since more than a decade ago, Serie A has been much more boring because it has always been dominated by Juventus. But now look at it since the 20/21 season, almost every season the Scudetto champions have always changed and are not dominated by one club anymore.

Maybe the 22/23 season belongs to Napoli but it's not certain that next season will still be theirs again because of course every team will make a major overhaul in terms of players. So I think Serie A is starting to get less boring because even Juventus can no longer dominate this league like they used to and who can be consistent to win then they have the right to win the Scudetto.

Yes, it seems quite funny when someone says Serie A is boring because Napoli won the Scudetto. While in reality, they always hope to get a different team in winning the Scudetto every season. Although indeed, Napoli's achievements were fairly smooth because there was no competition for the Scudetto but still, this achievement also shows that Napoli was able to dominate Serie A last season. Therefore, it doesn't feel right to say that Napoli's scudetto achievement was boring. Because for me, the achievement is still good and interesting because we get a different team every season in winning the Scudetto after Juventus' domination has stopped.

[Slow death]

with the announcement of the start date of the season that will start on sunday, 08/20/2023, coaches should already start to get more tense in their jobs while players will probably still be more worried about their futures, some players want to be in the best teams and with long-term contracts, which is something more guaranteed for their future. I see that Juventus will be without Juan Cuadrado, I didn't see any big signings at Juventus, we lost Di Maria

so i see juventus as a very weak team next season, with the maintenance of massimiliano allegri who has a contract until june 2025, i don't see how juventus will be able to win serie a, it's true that napoli next season may not be very strong as it was last season but we can't forget that inter milao will keep their current coach, Simone Inzaghi and their best strikers, I'm talking about lukaku and Lautaro Martínez and they can still bring more good players, I see inter being the strongest candidate next season to win serie A. milan is also trying to improve the team, even roma are also improving with some signings, but only seeing in the first games to determine if rome can have a squad to be champion

[giammangiato]

I am very sorry that Spalletti has left Napoli, he was really very good at managing the players

I don't know the new coach who coaches Napoli, he will probably be strong, let's hope he can do well
and i hope the better for my Juventus

Injury is an increase in Lukaku's performance getting worse but actually as long as he is not injured it is also a little difficult for Lukaku's performance because indeed for several seasons after his good performance at Inter and Lukaku his performance worsened again at Chelsea.

Inter Milan rescued Lukaku from Manchester United and gave him a second chance to revise his career. His first chance is in West Brom after a first failure in Chelsea when he was very young. After succeeded in Inter Milan, he returned to Premier League with Chelsea and failed a second time there. Inter Milan put out their hands a second time and gave Lukaku a third chance to revise his career. In the last season, Lukaku did not show signals that he can revise his career again in Inter Milan.

I think saying Inter saved Lukaku is too harsh in this case because when he was bought from Manchester United actually he was also quite good it's just that there were some problems and couldn't follow the scheme that was carried out by Ole at that time so he decided to leave and when at Inter he was very trusted Conte and supported by the full support of other players made his mentality better and found his performance.
Actually I think it's an old story and it has nothing to do with the present because it's gone too far. Currently, the fact is that under Inzaghi's tutelage with injury problems, Lukaku's performance has dropped dramatically and Inter were also initially a little hesitant to make Lukaku permanent but it seems they have changed their minds since the price has dropped dramatically at this time.

The latest news seems to be that Inter will sell off several young players such as Samuele Mulattieri, Facundo Colidio, Darian Males, Martin Satriano, Sebastiano Esposito and Eddie Salcedo. for the plan to buy Lukaku because they think that Lukaku is suitable to partner Lautaro.

If their plan is like that, I disagree with that plan. They must emphasize on growing young players rather than selling them and using not cheap cost to buy Lukaku. Sacrificing some young players to exchange a player like Lukaku who is at his 30 yr-old is something not smart.

Regardless of the pros and cons but it looks like Inter will try this out, the reason is simple apart from making some adjustments and downsizing to their squad they still need money to get players in instantly.
Indeed, I also agree with what you say because this can hinder their rate of regeneration but when they say that it is difficult to change, I think because they have authority over the club.

[KTChampions]

The next season for Inzaghi will be very unpleasant/dangerous - expectations for Inter are high, they are Serie A favorites and any result in the Champions League, except for the final again, will (purely psychologically) be perceived as a deterioration in the result. I highly doubt that luck (in opponents which were on their way to the final) will be on the side of Inter again and I am not at all sure that they will take the Serie A title.

I think it is not that easy anyway in the Serie A when you are the coach of one of the best clubs Pressure will be high but I also think that when a coach had one successful season it is usually safe to say that they are firmly established in the whole business. Even if they lose they job one day here, they also know that they will have another good job elsewhere tomorrow. Inzaghi with his last season has fully arrived I think

But also, at this time Inter fans may have realized that the results from last season especially in the Champions League were extraordinary and are likely not to be achieved season after season. But they will still expect Inzaghi to play for titles. 

Yes, this is true, if the coach showed success, then then he will have at least a few attempts even if he is fired after failures. In this sense, Inzaghi has more or less secured his future.
As for the success of Inter in the Champions League, I think almost all Inter fans understand that it was more a coincidence (weak opponents) than the fact that Inter is really the top 2 club in Europe

That's true and last season was the most fierce season in Serie A in my opinion even though the competition for the Scudetto was not that fierce because Napoli are very comfortable at the top of the table without any interference from other teams but it must also be seen that the Serie A teams have recovered much better in last season and it can be seen that a very fierce competition took place at the top to fight for tickets to Europe and also the Serie A teams were able to compete fiercely on the European stage even though they could not become champions but it proved that the Serie A teams had risen much better as well as competition in Serie A I think last season was much more competitive and it is possible that it will happen again for next season.

Luciano Spalletti is a great coach, but it's a shame he can't stay longer at Napoli for a number of valid reasons. I think Napoli really failed to keep Luciano Spalletti who basically raised the mentality of the team to win the Serie A title last season. Napoli will likely find it difficult to find a coach of the same or perhaps more quality, so I think next season Napoli will not be as strong as last season and they will return to their old mode.

Juventus will get better, at least that's what I think. If Juventus didn't get 10 points deducted last season, then next season they really should have a lot of matches to play because they have Champions League tickets. Next season Juventus are expected to be in the title race, while the Milan duo will remain in contention, while Napoli look set to change.

It seems that he hasn't fully followed Serie A for a long time and for me, who have followed Serie A around 2004, I understand how football has developed in Italy from time to time. There have been so many significant changes from each team in Serie A, such as in Milan, Inter, Juventus, Rome, Lazio, Parma, Fiorentina, Udinese, Palermo and even Sampdoria used to be enough to make the competition very competitive.

But not all of these teams can maintain consistency and sometimes the club's financial problems are also a problem that makes the club experience a decline in performance. Napoli was one of the teams that bounced back last season and managed to win the scudetto after so long, it's a great achievement.

Maybe that was one of the reasons for it as well? I mean it looks like Napoli took the league by storm which made other teams realize that they have absolutely no chance and the league became boring so they had to concentrate on another place. This way there were like 3 teams on quarter finals, milan napoli and inter all at the same time, and two teams on semi finals as well that met with each other fortunately which guaranteed at least one on the finals.

Same with europa and conference league where there was an Italian team there. So, I am guessing that it is not going to be that much easy for next season to be similar, that was a rare situation and I believe that it will not be like that but at least they made some money so they could be a bit better.

Why do people who are not bored by Juventus' successive championships when they see the years when another team is the champion every season and the competition in the league rises to the top? I think Serie A is the most exciting league after the Premier League. At the beginning of this year, Napoli, who was not favored by anyone, should be congratulated when they become champions by a big point difference. It is not an easy thing to achieve.

Indeed, it is a pity that Spalletti cannot stay at Napoli much longer, because it seems that Napoli are also not ready for Spalletti's departure because of course this will change Napoli's performance next season which must also play in the Champions League. But indeed, nothing can last forever because they will change from time to time, so something like this is of course a natural thing. So yes, with those who cannot stay forever, then of course they must always be ready to be let go and must be ready to find a replacement and hopefully, Napoli's performance can still be consistent to compete in the top four next season.

Because Juventus have a complete squad so we can guess they are the closest team with the title but after a few scandals occurred, Juventus are no longer the mainstay team. If we pay attention in the last 4 seasons, Serie A always has a new team as a champion starting from Juventus 19/20, Inter 20/21, Milan 21/22 and Napoli 22/23 this means that dominance changes in every season, of course competition like this is good for Serie A and can inspire other teams. My concern is what if Juventus repeat the same scandal, Obviously Serie A popularity will be disturbed

It seems that Napoli don't just have to let go of their coach, Spalletti, for a while and replace him with Rudi Garcia. They may also lose one of their key defenders, Kim Min Jae, who will join Bayern Munich next season on a five-year contract, as mentioned in a tweet by renowned transfer market analyst and journalist, Fabrizio Romano. If this turns out to be true, Napoli must act quickly in finding a replacement for Kim Min Jae if they want to go further in the Champions League and defend the Scudetto title next season. Moreover, their top scorer and mainstay player in Serie A last season, Osimhen, has been linked with EPL clubs such as Chelsea, Manchester United and Liverpool. This actually presents a significant challenge for Napoli in rebuilding their squad for the upcoming season.

The influence of significant financial resources and lucrative salaries from clubs outside Italy make players willing to move and change teams. This is the current reality, as evidenced by Tonali's recent transfer from AC Milan to Newcastle. The club's financial limitations and tempting offers from other teams may force them to part ways with their stars.

Overall, Napoli face a tough task building their squad for next season, i think as the allure of big funds and attractive opportunities from other clubs can lure their players away.

Last three season, Serie A dominance by difference teams from Inter, Milan and last winner Napoli before Juventus dominance or winning more than six years. Indeed Seri A competition still boring right now due less activities window transfer and most of Serie A teams faced financial crisis but different winner last three season looks Serie A has more competitive than Primer League or Bundesliga dominance by one team only after success winning in last three season.

I think Serie A need to push their financial level, less transfer window activities from Serie A teams spent above 100 million euro for signing new player like did by Primer League team. Serie A must back to be more competitive league at the future and all teams has good financial for signing and bring star player to Serie A teams.

Allegri did wonders with the many injured players he had, I really like him as a coach (as I like Spalletti) he's someone who works and doesn't complain and does his best with what he has
he's not like Antonio Conte who complained every day about something he didn't have

If you don't experience a point deduction maybe Juventus will manage to finish in second or third place in my opinion. This achievement was extraordinary and he made it through a phase where many players were injured, but with a makeshift squad he was able to end the season in seventh place in the standings. Allegri is a coach who can make players work hard on the pitch and his tactics are also very good in making the most of the players he has available.

Next season Juventus must set a much bigger target and bring in several players according to the team's needs which is what is really needed, in order to be able to compete again with the top teams in Serie A in the race for the Scudetto and qualify for the Champions League.

Exactly
considering how the season had started (very badly due to the many injuries) Allegri worked miracles
now those who don't understand anything certainly blame him, but those who understand even the slightest know that he is a very good coach

like Spalletti

I know Spalletti won the Serie A title and you may think he is a good coach because of this achievement he got but the fact about Spalletti is he won the title mostly because competitors were not in a good situation. and in the moments when Napoli needed him to win the great matches just like the game between Ac Milan and Napoli he failed just because he didn't have Osimhen that's why I don't call him a good coach yet, at least not better than Allegri.

Yes, you are right, with the squad they have we would think that they will probably be the closest team to the championship ladder. but in the last few seasons, they have had problems and that has had a direct impact on their performance in Serie A. There is something interesting about this, because many of their declines in the last few seasons have been linked to the joining of Cristiano Ronaldo which has slightly disturbed the chemistry, but over time Even when Cristiano Ronaldo left, they could not return to their slick performance when they dominated Serie A.

Spalletti is a professional coach who has contributed and experienced a lot for Napoli so Spalletti's departure will be very disappointing to all Napoli players who have been trained to become reliable players.
With the departure of Spalletti there will be pressure for all Napoli players to remain the best club in Serie A and must be able to get closer to the new one sooner.
Even though next season Napoli's performance will decrease slightly, this won't take long and they will definitely still be able to dominate every game.

It is very often the case that with a change of coach, the team loses productivity. There are now many teams in Italy who are ready to fight for the top place next season. It seems to me that if Napoli are weakened by the change of Spaletti, then Lazio, Inter, Milan or Juventus will enter the race. I'm sure it will be very difficult for Napoli to confirm the championship.

[Distraction]

Inter had a wonderful season even though they couldn't be competitive for the Serie A title. Winning two titles and qualifying for the Champions League finale must be more than enough for the team. Inzaghi must have consolidated his seat a little more by this season. They could have even gone for the Serie A title also if it weren't for their bad performance at defending in the time period until the World Cup.

Now they must be financially stronger also and I will be expecting them to make decent improvements for the squad. Inter are seen as the number one title contender next time according to bookies already. They will need to maintain this level to prove them right for sure.

I wonder who will be brought after Lukaku and Dzeko's departures too. They should make their choice of striker carefully to have a nice duo with Lautaro.

The next season for Inzaghi will be very unpleasant/dangerous - expectations for Inter are high, they are Serie A favorites and any result in the Champions League, except for the final again, will (purely psychologically) be perceived as a deterioration in the result. I highly doubt that luck (in opponents which were on their way to the final) will be on the side of Inter again and I am not at all sure that they will take the Serie A title.

Inzaghi won't be able to get more comfortable that's for sure, yes. Being shown as the biggest title contender by bookmakers will be a big responsibility to have for Inzaghi. The start to the season will be really crucial. He will be expected to maintain the level they had in the second half of this season. This would help them have a solid start to the league.

But consistency is key factor of course. I don't expect them to be alone in the title competition like Napoli were this season. This was one of the rare seasons also of course. Normally we have been seeing a really fierce competition for the title until final weeks.

Napoli can still be very competitive as long as Rudi Garcia maintains the same system and they don't lose crucial players like Osimhen. In addition we don't even know how competitive the other top teams would be.

Luciano Spalletti is a great coach, but it's a shame he can't stay longer at Napoli for a number of valid reasons. I think Napoli really failed to keep Luciano Spalletti who basically raised the mentality of the team to win the Serie A title last season. Napoli will likely find it difficult to find a coach of the same or perhaps more quality, so I think next season Napoli will not be as strong as last season and they will return to their old mode.

Juventus will get better, at least that's what I think. If Juventus didn't get 10 points deducted last season, then next season they really should have a lot of matches to play because they have Champions League tickets. Next season Juventus are expected to be in the title race, while the Milan duo will remain in contention, while Napoli look set to change.

I am very skeptical about what Rudi Garcia is going to do with Napoli. I believe he is the current coach of Napoleon after Luciano Spalletti. And let’s not forget that Napoli is currently the champion of the Italian league. So the expectation is going to be very high from him.

I actually expect Juventus to finish in the top four and also actively compete for the league title in the next season. And I hope they do not face any problems as they did this season. One thing Juventus did better is, they did not let the coach go or sack him. They realised that it was not the fault of the coach. So he should be given another chance.
