Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[shogun47]

I definitely believe that the performance is going to be better from Juventus in the ongoing season.

The failure of Juventus in European competition due to a penalty from UEFA made Juventus have more opportunities to focus on the Italian league this season, the many failures they experienced last season from deducting points that made them fail to participate in the European competition championship also failed to win the Italian league title, I think this season is Juventus' chance to chase Italian league title.

Some of the top clubs may have divided their focus so that they are not too consistent when European competition events start, it will disturb their concentration and their match schedules make the players' performance really decrease because of fatigue, I think Juventus can take this opportunity to win the Italian league this season consistently on the winning path and earn points in every game until the end of the season.

Situation were worst for the Juventus in last season because they were facing many on and off the field issues which hurt them badly and with this now they are having only Serie A and few domestic things to settle in this season but with this all most chances they could be at his best their start is also impressive and their coach and strategy both are favorable for them in this season as well even we are in just first round of the season but their performance and Vlahović performance both are at their best, and we can expect good things for them after one of the worst season for them.

UEFA ban for the one season is surely not ideal, but they can take this positive because if they are having to play then surely this was Conference Cup which is also not suitable for them but now with current sources and motivation from the coach they could be good even can go for the title race because this is going to be interesting.

The ban was probably more to please everyone else who felt betrayed than to actually really damage Juventus Turin. I am sure they didn't care about getting banned from the Conference League. The real damage was done when they got the points deducted and they missed the Champions League because of that. The rest wasn't really having any impact on their plans for the new season. Any player at Juventus Turin probably gives a damn about playing the Conference League or not. They can now attack the Serie A title again and get back to where they belong and start again in the Champions League next season if everything plays out for them.

Juventus' previous big win against Udinese proved they won't be needing Lukaku. Juventus are still very productive with their goal-scoring machines like Vlahovic and Chiesa, this proves that the two of them are increasingly adding to their chemistry on the field when paired in the same line. Now it is becoming clearer that the possibility of Vlahovic leaving is highly improbable and the rumors that were previously circulating are likely to only become wind. I hope juventus doesn't incite disharmony in the dressing room by signing a controversial player like Lukaku, it will only damage the support between fans and players on the pitch.

Even so, I don't view that as a major issue. Lukaku is not as bad a player as many people believe, particularly Juventus fans. It's just too evident that they despise him, possibly because he previously played for Inter Milan, a Serie A competitor. Adding Lukaku to the lineup of attacking players will not cause discord between them if the manager or other players aren't fostering it. Many teams have lots of attacking players who are all extremely productive at the same time; this can only boost squad depth and make them more efficient and competitive in the various competitions they will be participating in.

Right, because previously it was also that Vlahovic and Chiesa had stated to stay at Juventus but after that, there were rumors about signing Lukaku by exchanging him for Vlahovic. Obviously, I thought it was ridiculous because after all, Juventus made a big effort to sign Vlahovic at that time. So yes, it is very unlikely that Juventus will be willing to swap Vlahovic with Lukaku because in reality, Lukaku position is also not good and of course there will be problems if Juventus sign Lukaku. Also, Juventus fans have taken action so that Juventus don't sign Lukaku and after all, Lukaku also never had the desire to play at Juventus.

There is no other choice for Juventus this season besides focusing on domestic competition (Serie A). Even though Juventus chances of winning the Scudetto this season are greater than any other team due to their lack of matches, this does not mean that it will reduce Juventus competition with teams like Inter Milan, Napoli and AC Milan to win the Serie A trophy. We can also see how Juve moves in the market transfer, then compare with AC Milan this summer. It would seem that Juve can't say much in the transfer market, I doubt Juve in these conditions.

Being dropped from the European Competition resulted in a loss of some revenue for Jeventus. Luckily for Allegri, if his players stay and don't leave the club in the remaining time of this transfer, and hope that Juve can get through this situation by utilizing a makeshift squad. I hope they don't make the same mistake again.

Not big games yet

[bitgolden]

Alexis Sanchez is a player who can add experience to the team. Age is no longer as important as it used to be in football. Today, we have seen that despite the advanced age of many football players, their contribution to the game is important. For this reason, Alexis Sanchez can be transferred if there will be no financial difficulties in the team.

If they had asked me if it was Lautaro Martinez or Alexis Sanchez, I would have wanted Alexis Sanchez on my team despite his age. Lautaro Martinez is a young football player, but I think Alexis will contribute more to the team. Also, Alexis can easily take advantage of the positions Lautaro Martinez missed.

I do not know exactly when that started, but it's true. Back in the day when a player reached 30, that was like they were 40 today, they were on the decline and everyone wanted to get rid of their players who are 30 years old.

Now you look at teams that spend 110+ million euro for a 30 year old striker, and they still keep playing very well at that age. Benzema became ballon d'or winner at 34 or 35 if I remember right. Players are doing much better at later stages of this career. They are not only experienced, but also the fact that they are doing very well is a big deal, I think it's quite important. They can go as long as 40 years old without having too much down, they can definitely do a good job of it as well without a doubt.

Yes, it's a tour with almost no big signs, but Milan - Torino, Verona - Roma and Juventus - Bologna will be interesting games at a high level. Hope to see Roma win. As for Milan, I think the probability of 1-1, as always, is as high as possible. The rest of the games look like a foregone conclusion, so the top of the standings shouldn't change much after this round (except some lucky in first round underdogs will start to drop).

Juventus have made a decent start for now. Despite not bringing new players much they looked strong against Udinese. The second half was one-sided for Udinese maybe but the reason why was Juventus' being already in the lead by 3-0 of course. Considering Udinese's not being a weak team Juventus did a great work.

Vlahovic was another surprising name in this match for me. Because he was below expectations previously but entered this season strongly. Consistency will be the key factor for him to be an important player here. If he keeps this up there would be no need for Juventus to look for a new striker.

There was a speculation about Massimiliano Allegri future that there is possibilities he will leave Juventus at the end of this season so that's why before this season ended Allegri will attempts to gets at least 1 trophy for Juventus and why he decided to leave Juventus although he has a contract until 2025 because he want to find new challenge and not impossible later he will accept the offers from Saudi Arabian clubs or maybe MLS clubs and Juventus under him still not able reach to their top performance because during trained by Allegri Juventus still unable to gets even a single trophy and even last year too most people has been speculate he will be sacked

There are two options for Massimiliano Allegri at the end of this season, especially if he manages to bring Juventus to finish in the top 4. It is likely that he will last longer with Juventus or at least until his contract ends in 2025. So if Juventus fire Allegri, of course Juventus will have to pay a large severance pay for Allegri. Apart from that, we have seen Allegri loyalty to Juventus because when Juventus slumped last season, Allegri always wanted to stay with Juventus even though many offers came to him.

I think Allgeri has a good relationship with the CEO of Juventus so he is more comfortable at Juventus than going to train other teams like the Saudi Arabian league team. Allegri has a great desire to bring Juventus back to glory in the domestic league or European league. I think Allegri will stay with Juventus for a long time.

To be honest I never expected juventus to have such comfortable win over udinese because I know for a certain that these guys a very good side so at the pick of the game I started to wonder if it's juventus that did brilliantly or udinese that defended and played very poorly.

Juventus secure a very nice victory and will be hoping to see them continue the same feat in their next match although the season is still young and there are still a lot of ups and downs but it's better to start strong than poor.

I think Juventus played very brilliantly and deserved the win against Udinese, I expected a slow or poor start from them but their performance in the last match was superb and one player that caught my attention was Vlahovic because his form was very poor last season forcing Juventus to almost offload him in the present transfer window.

 Well they player well and some new signings adapted fast but i can't tell if it's udinese very poor performances that lead to the brilliant performance of Juventus I'll be more convinced they're fully back in form when they win their next 3-5 matches with a  brilliant performance such as they did against Udinese, but one thing I'm very sure of is that if they continue with this form they'll be very strong contenders of the league.

Juventus may well be on the target to battle with Napoli and make things difficult for them defending their title from last season. This is a new season and a new period for players who did not impress very much last season due to various reasons to make this new season their season. Players like Vlahovic are one of those players who have this at their mind. He played well and was able to get an assist and a goal even though it was from a penalty. He was taken off in almost the last minute of the game, which shows that his performance impressed the coach to have kept him in the game for that long.

[tiCeR]

So solidly played by Juventus and I think that that was expected by most. They are putting their focus where it belongs for now and it pays off. I believe that we are going to see an incredibly strong Juventus for this season and they are just getting going.

Probably better compared with last season. Juventus would be placed at the second place last season without being sanctioned. I expect juventus to achieve better this season. Winning Scudetto? It's possible. Juventus is considerably as the strongest team in italian league now.
Juventus is the strongest candidate to win scudetto and i do believe it will be far better this season compared with napoli last season. Udinese was strong enough to last season.

This is too early if you ask me. I also think that Juventus Turin is among the teams who have a good chance to win the Scudetto, but calling them the strongest team after a single game into the season sounds a bit premature to me. There is AC Milan, Inter Milan, Napoli, all of which I think wouldn't be shocking anyone if they would lead the table after some time. They all have decent teams and last season it all seemed a bit weird because Napoli had this massive lead in points, which made the other teams look so much weaker. It is also true of course that they were weaker, but I don't expect one team to get an advantage like that this season. The rest was quite close and this is what I think will happen in the next few weeks and months.

Instead of being curious about Juventus' performance against Udinese, I think you can watch the match highlights here: Udinese 0-3 Juventus | Serie A 23/24 Match Highlights

Juventus' performance was good in that match, but Udinese really did well throughout the match even though they failed to score. Juventus had difficulty controlling the movements of the Udinese players in that match, but Massimiliano Allegri should be grateful because Juventus managed to play cleanly without conceding a single goal until the end of the game.

I believe that we are going to see an incredibly strong Juventus for this season and they are just getting going. Their offensive line with Vlahovic and Chiesa is quite promising as well.

Yes, like that. We all know how the condition of Juventus was last season, they really experienced extraordinary difficulties and quite heavy sanctions. And this is a pretty heavy blow for the players when they have been playing quite optimally but still cannot enter the top standings because of the sanction. Therefore, this season, I'm sure they will really fight even more enthusiastically, especially when they are no longer receiving sanctions such as deducting points. They definitely miss being in the UCL, and that is one of their targets. And their early performance was pretty good for a start. It's just a matter of how they improve the consistency and solidity of their squad when they appear against other clubs, because it's definitely not easy.

Without counting the indirect effect of the sanctions on players performance and the psychology of the team, Juventus would end in top of the list. Maybe not the first one since Napoli was great but the second place isn't that hard to get.
This season they started good and should continue staying in top for several rounds since they are facing weaker teams like Empoli, Bologna...up to middle of October they have two challenging games vs Lazio and Atalanta. Juventus should keep winning and make Serie A more interesting and challenging

I am always against subjunctive moods and maybe on the contrary, if there were no sanctions against the club and the withdrawal of points, Juventus could perform worse, because difficulties on the contrary could mobilize the team and force the players to be more focused. Therefore, I wonder how Juventus will play this season, when the sword of Damocles of sanctions does not seem to be brought over it (and this is not true and investigations inside Italy against the club are still ongoing and can hurt the club in the most unexpected place and at the most inopportune time).

I was waiting for this result and my prediction was right about this game.
Just like I said in my posts before Juventus in the last season had many rama because of losing posts and they couldn't have enough focus that's why we can't judge about the previous season about them. While we can see they have had much better performance in this season and so far they proved it.

[Velvet78]

A good start from Milan but we will see whether they can be consistent at the same time. They are one of the top teams with most amount of transfers this summer. These transfers should show their effect on the team during the season of course. This must mean that Milan really want to be more competitive this time.

Giroud is still impressive. He had a great start with a goal and an assist. I have been doubting his performance for this season but this was like an answer to me. However it is still early of course. Milan should be able to get efficiency from their attackers as much as possible.

I will see Ac Milan full strength when they face equally strong teams like Napoli, Juventus or inter milan because these teams can provide a balanced game for them this season. If you look at the changes in the Ac milan squad, of course they already have an attacker who has the instinct to score goals every game like Pulisic.

In the previous match when AC Milan faced Bologna, where in that match if we look at the AC Milan defense, of course they had a little trouble in breaking the attacks carried out by Bologna players. Because Bologna was able to create many attacks in that match. So that Pioli must be able to make his team perform optimally in maintaining their line of defense in the upcoming matches.
