Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[JeffBrad12]

Teams like Milan and Inter also previously won the scudetto, but in the end Milan and Inter also failed to defend the title. Especially about Napoli, which basically Napoli is not a strong team from season to season to be at the top of the standings. So naturally, if in the next season Napoli cannot defend the title. After all, even though for example Napoli still has a squad with the same strength as last season but still, after all defending the title is a difficult job compared to getting it.

True, defending the title is far harder rather than getting it. Napoli needs to be even more consistent in upcoming season caused by the club gonna face a more difficult situation. All of clubs in serie have been doing massive improvements for their squads.
Juventus will be also coming back again to claim its scudetto from napoli. Napoli is now without spalletti which has become the key for the club to won scudetto last season. Rudi garcia already appointed to be a new coach but napoli's performance was not as good as last season.
Im seeing how napoli still struggles in the pre season match. Im feeling doubt if napoli will be able to defend its title next season.
Intermilan, Acmilan and juventus gonna come as stronge contender to win scudetto next season. Napoli needs to surpass the performance from last season to defend its scudetto.

But arguing that they need to be even more consistent in order to defend the title also means that other teams will score more than 90 points in the coming season. But who will be the teams to score more than 90 points? I really doubt that 90 points would not be enough. The difference this season is that the other teams are more than warned now because they thought that Napoli will start losing games at some point but they didn't and then their advantage over all the other teams was huge. I think it will be a closer season in general and no single team will have a 20 points advantage after 2/3 of the season have been played.

you are right, the majority of Serie A teams that secure the championship struggle to maintain their title defense, with the notable exceptions of Juventus and Inter Milan. These two clubs have successfully retained their Scudetto titles in the subsequent seasons over the past two decades. Milan experienced a downturn after their Scudetto victory, working hard to restore the team's strength before reclaiming the title again few season ago. as we know Milan's consistency was lacking in the previous season. Napoli, now under the guidance of a new coach, appears to be in need of time to enhance their team's performance.

It is difficult to say which team is the favorite for the Serie A title next season. The overall condition of the Juventus team is not good. They are not They do not form a stable squad yet.Their performance is anything but erratic. On the other hand the situation of champions team napoli is not that much good. They have sold several players on the team. Osimhen is also likely to be sold by Napoli. More importantly, their coach has changed. We don't know how napoli will perform with the new coach. ac Milan and Inter Milan are in relatively good condition. AC milan spent around more than  110 million to strengthen their squad. Inter milan's situation is also quite good now. I think Inter milan or AC Milan are more likely to win the title next season.

Hearing rumors that Pioli will have the help of a new coach. He's Alberto Marangon to be Stefano Pioli's tandem. It looks like Milan is doing nothing to make the club triumphant again. Alberto Marangon is the former manager of Sampdoria. The two coaches have worked together while at Fiorentina. At that time they succeeded in making Fiorentina good. In this time perhaps the arrival of Marangon can help recommend players when the transfer market is still open.

I don't know why you think that AC Milan is doing nothing, but they bought several new players and didn't lose that many good players (except for Tonali). They also lost Diaz, but they were able to extend the contract with Leão and bought six midfielders and offensive players. I wouldn't call that to be nothing. I think it was a great success to extend the contract with Leão because many people thought he would leave the club. I thought so as well. But AC Milan is not one of these top addresses for players and that makes it difficult for them to sign new stars. In my opinion they have done good work so far in building and keeping their team.

Ready for the Seria A next season? All questions points to Juventus, they're really having a difficult time because they got banned from participating in elite competitions, and the Bianconeri would concentrate more on the domestic league if they want to revived the club. Massimiliano Allegri is doing everything within his capacity to make things right for the club, the team just need to upgrade and add more talented players, which will help in strengthening the club. We should expect high competitions from these elite clubs, apparently the best team with stellar performance will always lifts the scudetto.

Considering Sommer also played a lot of games last year because Neuer was injured, we could easily say that Sommer will be in form and will do great things. He was already a good player and I feel like getting that many games at Bayern also made him better, not talent because he was already talented but form is more important than people think, a goalkeeper who is always at bench and only gets to be a goalkeeper during other times, do not feel like they are doing a good job to me, they need to be a lot more better.

This is why I think it's quite important to be something that matters and I hope that Inter will have a great time with him, he should be very much the help they were looking for in the end anyway, and can replace Onana well enough.

[Ndabagi01]

There are many football observers doubting Napoli's appearance this season and they will have quite a hard time defending the Scudetto they got last season. Apart from losing several important pillars in the team and Napoli also lost a reliable tactician who had a better vision of playing. Rudi Garcia's arrival was not at the right moment because the transition process definitely takes time to perfect the team and this is the biggest test that Rudi Garcia has to face.

When Rudi Garcia accepted the role of managing the team, he should have been aware of the sacrifices that would be required of him. He has had enough time since accepting the job to put the team together. It will not be an easy challenge, but I believe the desire to retain the title for the second time will motivate both him and the players. So I wouldn't say if his arrival on the team was at the perfect time or not; he can turn things around to his advantage depending on how well he manages the team.

I am a little optimistic that Napoli will still be in the top five at the end of the season, but to defend the Scudetto I think it is impossible to defend. Because many other teams are currently also improving their squads by bringing in several potential players and Napoli's struggle will be much more difficult next season.

Defending champions always find it simpler than other teams to win the title they are currently holding. However, this is still dependent on the nature of the competition, as well as the player and manager. Now that they've hired a new manager, it's unclear whether they'll be able to win it all again. I wish they could, but we'll have to wait and see how the team performance will turn out by next season.

[giammangiato]

Teams like Juventus and AC Milan have shown some commitment in adding some new players to their squad. I am not seeing the drive from the Napoli side to get more players. They just converted some of the players on loan to permanent signings and brought in Natan Bernardo De Souza and a few average players. Maybe they want to cut costs or abide by financial rules.

I dont know if my beloved Juventus is worth buying players, Ill also explain why
he wont make any cups, so it would just be a waste of money that doesnt exist, in my opinion he should stay calm and reach the cup area without spending too much

[LUCKMCFLY]

I know that for many this causes sadness because things with Buffon bring back many memories, just remembering the good times he had at Juve, when he was in the Italian team, when he was world champion, these things are what Italians and I think many of us who are soccer fans are going to miss this great goalkeeper.

I will always remember his performance in the 2006 world cup against France in the final match when Zidane scored the goal from a penalty kick, Buffon was always a legendary goalkeeper and he had good times, especially in Juventus but unlike other players, he didn't join the Arabian team and instead of that he joined this first where he likes to end his career.

Wow I remember that final, it's a shame that the great zizu at that time got out of his mind like that, of course after I found out why, it's something understandable, they messed with his sister and well, women should respect each other , that is something that is very clear to the French and he made it known worldwide, I cannot deny that at that moment he was going to Italy, but it was not the way he wanted them to win, at that moment seeing Zizu play was everything A privilege, a final like that was heart attack, now he only wants to train the French team, and it seems to me that he is better than Deschamps.

It is difficult to say which team is the favorite for the Serie A title next season. The overall condition of the Juventus team is not good. They are not They do not form a stable squad yet.Their performance is anything but erratic. On the other hand the situation of champions team napoli is not that much good. They have sold several players on the team. Osimhen is also likely to be sold by Napoli. More importantly, their coach has changed. We don't know how napoli will perform with the new coach. ac Milan and Inter Milan are in relatively good condition. AC milan spent around more than  110 million to strengthen their squad. Inter milan's situation is also quite good now. I think Inter milan or AC Milan are more likely to win the title next season.

We should expect high competitions from these elite clubs, apparently the best team with stellar performance will always lifts the scudetto.

Since last season I have not seen that they do not stop attacking Juve, it is a team that last season received a tremendous ban with -14 points, things that are why Napoli were champions, otherwise they would have been hit harder I don't know why they don't punish the club's owners and not the team, I don't see any point in it, sometimes justice isn't justice, but trying to kill a team that has so much history, but this is just participating in Serie A it is a ban that does not make sense, this is something that is not the fault of the players, they are like when they ban countries and do not let them enter the casinos, instead of giving punishments to the rulers, the punishment is taken by the people who are innocent, that is why I have always been irreverent to these things.

As far as I'm concerned, I hope that Juve can do great things in Serie A, I wouldn't mind if they win so that they give a direct message to all of UEFA, what they do here is put into perspective that they want to do things better, but that is not, at least not for me, I see it as an unnecessary ban.

Vlahovic waits as Juventus want Lukaku from Chelsea regardless

According to Romeo Agresti, Vlahovic is in Germany to visit specialist doctors over his on-going struggle with lumbago.

Meanwhile, the transfer speculation continues around the negotiations between Chelsea and Juventus.

The Turin giants are demanding a cash sum of circa €40m on top of Lukaku in exchange for Vlahovic.

However, Sportitalia are now suggesting that Juve will continue their pursuit of Lukaku even without handing over Vlahovic as part of the deal.

Chelsea have not even given Lukaku a squad number, confirming he is not part of the group for this season after returning from his loan experience with Inter.

Well, apparently things are going very well for some players, the important thing here is that the Lukaku thing is being debated, on the other hand Vlahovic, so these are things that at least the players want to be at Juve, they don't give much importance to the The situation Juve is going through is that many players know that this club is very good, it is valuable, with a great history, and Allegri is giving everything to get ahead with this team, no wonder, when they get out of all that problem, this team will be unstoppable, for now they have to put up with all the storm that is coming.

Giroud is no longer considered fully productive. He's older and can only play as a backup striker at this age. Apart from that, it may be better for him to play in another team like Dzeko. For this, the Saudi Arabian league may be perfect. Olivier Giroud is a good player, but he is not strong enough to carry Milan right now.

If you look at Giroud age, Giroud is indeed old because he is 36 years old and for this season he is still AC Milan choice on the front line because Ac Milan has yet to find a suitable replacement for their front line. I think Giroud won't be as aggressive as last season because of his old age. Okafor was brought in as a potential replacement for Giroud if Giroud is unable to play full time due to age or quickly running out of energy then Okafor would be the right signing to replace him.

We will see the formation of pioli next season, will pioli put up a 4-3-3 to support their performance at the start of the season with Leoa, Giroud and Okafor up front. I think Ac milan has a strong enough squad to welcome Serie A this season.

While we didn't pay attention to Inzaghi and his contract with Inter Milan, and there was some news about this coach leaving Inter Milan because of having better offers or because of have unstable performance in the first weeks of the season, but it seems Inzaghi and Inter Milan prefer to work with each other for a longer time because Inzaghi recently extended his contract with Inter Milan for one more year.

https://sempreinter.com/2023/08/08/why-inter-milan-decided-to-extend-the-contract-of-simone-inzaghi/

Simeone Inzaghi should be given a long-term contract because he was able to bring Inter Milan to look good in the Champions League last season by finishing runners up and also bringing back Inter Milan glory in Serie A. Even although he has not succeeded in bringing Inter Milan to win the Scudetto, Inzaghi has made significant progress for the development of inter milan.

In this season, many targets will be targeted by Inzaghi, one of which is the Scudetto trophy. But seeing the competition which is believed to be quite hot this season, of course there are many big obstacles that will be Inzaghi job to bring Inter Milan to win the Scudetto trophy where he must be able to bring his team to appear consistently in every game.

His contract extension was planned when Inter Milan reached last 16 of UCL. I don't believe any rumors of him leaving the club. Simeone inzaghi is very happy in intermilan. His salary already increased to the €5 millions a year in the new contract.
Simeone inzaghi unexpetedly able to help intermilan to enter into the final of UCL last season. It would be so stupid if inter's director gonna sack him from his job. Simeone has been also helping the club to win at least 1 trophy last season.

I have heard that his contract gonna be until 2025.

Inter Milan missed out on winning the UEFA Champions League last season after losing to Manchester City, but they planned on rectifying all the shortcomings that existed at the time and leaving opportunity for development. The team has good quality players that are determined to capture certain significant trophies for the club; they are actively working on it with the manager. Simeone Inzaghi has done everything he can as a manager to strengthen the club, and his presence means a lot to them, he's going absolutely nowhere, he still have a great deal of work to do.

Even although he has not succeeded in bringing Inter Milan to win the Scudetto, Inzaghi has made significant progress for the development of inter milan.

In his first season with Inter Milan, he lost the Scudetto and can not defend that title with Inter Milan. In a second season with Inter Milan, the past season, he faced with sack risk before suddenly won knock-out matches and went to the final match. They did played very well in that final and only lost it because they lacked of luckiness in the final.

That final match shows the management ability of Simeone Inzaghi as he helped the team to play very strongly against Manchester City. They are one of very few teams in Europe that can challenge Manchester City so seriously in such a balancing match.

In this season, many targets will be targeted by Inzaghi, one of which is the Scudetto trophy. But seeing the competition which is believed to be quite hot this season, of course there are many big obstacles that will be Inzaghi job to bring Inter Milan to win the Scudetto trophy where he must be able to bring his team to appear consistently in every game.

This season, Napoli will likely be weaker by losing Kim Min Jae but Juventus will be stronger as they will only focus on Serie A. AC Milan and AS Roma will potentially become stronger too and Inter Milan will not easily beat those competitors to lift Scudetto.

Based on his achievements in the Champions League, it is very appropriate for Inzaghi to be given a long-term contract by Inter Milan management. Because in the last decade only Juventus from Serie A have made it into the UCL final, last season Inzaghi managed to bring Inter Milan to the final.

But the fact that Inzaghi was only given a contract extension for one season, it is possible that the current consideration is the Scudetto Trophy. If you can bring Inter to win it, Inzaghi could last longer at the Giuseppe Meazza.

Inzaghi's success last season, which was able to bring Inter Milan to the UCL final, should be a special consideration for a contract extension in a few more seasons, not just for one season. However, this one-season extension will certainly make Inzaghi work even harder next season in order to win a trophy in Serie A and bring Inter Milan back to the UCL final.

But the fact that Inzaghi was only given a contract extension for one season, it is possible that the current consideration is the Scudetto Trophy. If you can bring Inter to win it, Inzaghi could last longer at the Giuseppe Meazza.

Next season is an opportunity for Inzaghi to prove that he is still capable of bringing Inter Milan to win the Serie A trophy. In general, this will not be easy for Inzaghi, because some of Inter Milan's rivals are also likely to improve next season, so this will make it a little difficult for them. Inzaghi or Inter Milan for the trophy.

I think that napoli has no intention to let osimhen leaves from the club in summer. it's unlikely the offer from al hilal gonna be accepted by napoli. This is a very interesting thing caused by al hilal will try to put more offer for osimhen.
Osimhen is already committed to stay in napoli till next season. Osimhen has not extended his contract with napoli. Al hilal is still fighting for him.

Napoli doesn't really need money at this moment. I think that al hilal's offer has zero chance to be accepted by napoli.

This was clearly announced few weeks back that Napoli is not interested to sell their star player Victor Osimhen so right now most chances they will not accept any offer from any club specially from this Al-Hilal because they are trying their best for any rising star to join them with few players are under their radar but most chances now things are not as par their requirement.

After losing few good players and coach now Napoli is already under pressure for they defend of their title and if they will sell Victor Osimhen then surely things could be out of the way for them and most chances they will lose their chance for the staying into top four Napoli president which is already now as one of the toughest negotiator is not going to accept anything less than of €200m if Al-Hilal will keep going for their this bid.

-snip-

Doubts about the new coach will surely continue to exist considering that what Spalletti gave last season was truly extraordinary and this will definitely be a pressure for Rudi Garcia. But on the other hand, of course, if they can maintain their performance like this then there will still be praise and I might not predict what they will be like now because last season I also talked about their condition and my prediction was wrong because it was too dependent on a number of players who they let go like Koulibally and Dries Mertens but it was Napoli's turning point.
There could be other possibilities now with the new Napoli coach being even better than last season although obviously this is definitely a pretty slim possibility.

Yes Sir, if Napoli can maintain their performance then they will get praise. Especially if Napoli can show a good performance in big competition UCL, then their fans will be very happy. By the way, currently Napoli already signed a defender player which has a great potential in the future. I mean Natan Bernardo de Souza, Brazil man is expected to be a suitable replacement in a defensive position. Although maybe not comparable with Min Jae because Natan is still relatively young, but at least Napoli strengthened their squad depth.

Actually, I don't know how this player performed because when he was introduced to Napoli I just found out about this player but when a coach has brought a player then this is indeed a decision that has been considered and this allows him to fill the void because Kim Min Jae left.
He is still very young and his price is not too high. Just like Kim Min Jae before him and I think if Natan can adapt well then it will be very good for him and Napoli.

The current season starts in a few days and we will see how some of the big clubs, especially Napoli, prove in the new season.
