Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

Tammy Abraham is out for the first half of the season due to injury. Hence I would understand Roma if they are interested in a striker signing. Because Abraham is one of the crucial attackers for Roma now. However Belotti has started to take responsibility recently. His performance against Salernitana was magnificent. But as Mourinho prefers a formation with two forwards in the attacking area it would be much better for Roma to have a replacement for Abraham at least for this half of the season.

But Chelsea don't want to send Lukaku on loan so I wonder if Roma are ready to pay the amount Chelsea want.

Seria A will be very competitive this season, that's pure facts concerning the system. AS Roma got hits with bad news last season, one of their frontlines will not be available for league games. Tammy Abraham is an important player for José Mourinho but he's ruled out for a lengthy period of time. He's not coming back any time soon, more reason for AS Roma to sign replacement for the player this summer. Perhaps they still got good quality frontlines in the team, they will take full responsibility of the club's performance and goal scoring.

Yesterday we discussed the possibility of Alexis Sanchez's transfer to Inter and today Fabrizio Romano has reported that the agreement has been reached and now it's just a matter of waiting for the results of the medical tests then Alexis Sanchez will be introduced as a new player for Inter. Alexis Sanchez was brought in as a free agent and this will be nostalgic for him because back in 2020 he had also defended Inter on loan from Manchester United. After getting Marko Arnautovic, now Inter have also got Alexis Sanchez and it is unexpected that Inter have many striker options this season.

Serie A will be more competitive this season. Because several clubs will fight for the title this year. Juventus, Inter Milan, Napoli and AC Milan have strengthened their squads. Their goal is the title. On the other hand, the performance of Jose Mourinho's team Roma is now more stable. Last season we did not see consistency in Roma's performance. But Roma's performance is likely to continue this season. Hopefully, Roma will be able to perform better than the previous season. About 4/5 teams will play for the title. However, it cannot be said for sure which team will be able to maintain the consistency of performance. And so it is not possible to guess which team is the favorite for this season.

It's a bit strange to see Lukaku, who is Inter's mainstay player, in a Roma uniform this season if this transfer takes place. But it's not a big problem for Lukaku because I don't think he should stay at Chelsea because Pochettino is unlikely to put him in the plans this season.

Indeed but we are already seeing several similat conditions, even between Milan and Inter. Well, about Lukaku, currently the relationship between Lukaku and the Chelsea coach is not good. Lukaku is not feel bad by his coach. So it's normal if Lukaku wants to leave his current club. Apart from Roma , AC Milan has also been linked with him, but I'm not sure about this rumour. Juventus are reportedly making a £35million bid for Lukaku, and the last one is Al-Hilal who is also reported ready to sign him. Will see, he will be to Serie-A or Saudi Pro.

Quite interesting too, because there are still clubs in Serie A who are interested in recruiting Lukaku. What's more, the clubs interested in Lukaku almost of them are big clubs in Serie A. Thus, there is no good reason if Chelsea reject the proposal that came from one of the big clubs in Serie A. Because of course, the offer submitted is not small money either, at least it would be better for Chelsea to sell Lukaku as soon as possible. Because it is useless if Chelsea hold it, if in fact Lukaku is not included in Chelsea's plans this season.

I kept telling people Benzema was the same and people argued for years, we are going to see how he plays this year, that dude had amazing players around him, giving him great chances to score, and he looked like a great player, even won ballon d'or thanks to that but the reality is that he wasn't good all by himself, his teammates made him look good. Same goes for Lukaku, that dude got all the assists he needs and that's why he looked so good and I think it's important to remember that Lukaku would have been nobody without his teammates.

I'll still pick Benzema over Lukaku multiple times, not because I think they're better strikers because of the support they get from their teammates, though their style of play in the striking role is important as well. Benzema is not only a striker, but also a playmaker who creates opportunities for his teammates. Benzema is rarely seen underperforming in a match; even when he isn't scoring goals, he is constantly having an impact on the pitch, and that impact is sometimes enough to swing the game in their favour and eventually win the game. Benzema earned the Balon d'Or not just because of the efforts of others, but also because of his own hard work and physical skills when playing.

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).

Roma are chasing their first win, so they will play their utmost to get the win in week 2, whereas Juventus are in high confidence after getting good results and also playing quite well in the first game.
And AC Milan, I don't think that they will have any trouble against Torino at home, AC Milan played quite well in the first match and that should be a benchmark for them to return to positive results this weekend.
I think that Week 2 of Serie A will not have any tough matches and it is unlikely that there will be any surprises.

At the moment, the quote for this game is as follows:

1.66 - 3.80 - 5.70

On paper, Milan are the clear favorites, but I remember that the games between these clubs are always tough. I don't like to look at historical statistics but in the last 5 games between these clubs there is one draw, two wins for Torino and two wins for Milan. 1.66 is too small odds to take the risk.

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

Indeed, at least, they will be in UCL.
But this has been there and the sanction really hit them, moreover, they are not able to be in even European League because of that.
Because of this, Juventus themselves stated that they no longer care about one of the sanctions, namely they cannot enter the European League. They just want to focus on performance this season both in Serie A and especially the Champions League. UCL is a target for all clubs because of the prestigious football event. So, it's not just about achievement but also prestige. Therefore, Juventus must be able to play very well every game and be consistent and not make any more fatal mistakes as before from their management.

Karim Benzema and Romelu Lukaku are two different players with different style of playing football who has broken great footballing records. I think it's totally unnecessary to compared them while trying to make our points.
Lukaku's current transfer saga isn't happening because he's not a good striker but because many European clubs thinks he's not at his best again and that's why I think going to the Saudi League would be a good decision for the Belgium international.

[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.

I can agree that Milan weren't the best when it comes to defending. But somehow they still didn't concede any goal. But this is a worrying point for Milan of course. As this is only the beginning of the season I see it quite normal. Players might have some difficulties in focusing on their game completely at the beginning.

However hopefully we will see some more improvement at defending by increase in the concentration level of the players. Milan's job is really difficult when it comes to being a part of the title race this season. But if they keep a consistent form as long as possible they can upset the balances.

I'm going to follow you and talk about the game between Roma and Verona tomorrow, we know Roma had a good performance in Murinuho in the last year and they even lost to the Europe league against Sevilla but the fact about Roma is they got a good coach but never hired the players he needs the game against Verona is not a hard game for Roma and they can normally beat Verona.

I failed to get the rumor that Lukaku and Roma, but to be honest it's an interesting rumour.
Lukaku previously still really wanted to play at Inter, but Inter and Chelsea failed to reach an agreement so Lukaku is still part of the Chelsea squad. Meanwhile Lukaku has also attracted interest from Juventus, but that too appears to have fizzled out. Now Lukaku and Roma have been linked, but I also don't expect this to fall through.

It's a bit strange to see Lukaku, who is Inter's mainstay player, in a Roma uniform this season if this transfer takes place. But it's not a big problem for Lukaku because I don't think he should stay at Chelsea because Pochettino is unlikely to put him in the plans this season.

why did you fail to find a news story that contains speculation that lukaku is interested in roma, there is a lot of sports news online reporting it.

but lukaku is only an option for Rome if they don't manage to get Duvan Zapata, there are also many online news sites that report that lukaku is currently a burden for chelsea because Pochettino doesn't want him in his draft but Chelsea have to pay his salary which is quite high for a while because he is still bound by contract.

Even so, i highly doubt Lukaku will make it to Rome because Mourinho is reported to be more interested in Gnonto (Leed United's sticker) than Lukaku.

Although Serie A is very competitive this season, there are a few teams mentioned that will play the biggest role in his goal of the title. Although we have seen Juventus this coming season they have the best mentality towards the game and are strong enough. Last season we saw Napoli win the top flight so this season there are a few interesting teams to win the title. However, Fiorentina is playing the best this season and they have a great performance, they are strong enough to be at the top. However, these two teams, Inter and Milan, will play a significant role as they have performed exceptionally well this season. As we see some of the most interesting teams this season, it is difficult to predict who will qualify for the title.

Pavard is not official yet so I doubt he will play this weekend with Inter.

Remember Inter already lost 3 players who, according to the media, already "signed" with the club, do he will be the next one?

It seems like it's just rumors because there hasn't been any accurate news regarding Pavard's move to Inter Milan, Pavard himself hasn't given his explanation regarding his move, so in my opinion don't talk about a move that isn't very clear.

@macson Lukaku to Roma is pure gossip and is being done to put pressure on Juventus to seal the deal and on top of this another rumour is saying that Poch is ready to welcome him back in the team if he doesn’t leave hence anything is possible at this stage. Further if Roma do secure him then they’ll be securing a proven goal scorer but if I were a Roma fan then I would suggest not to get excited until an official bid is launched.

Rumors keeps circulating and spreading in vast proportions this season, concerning the Belgium international. It's important he decides ontime or he would be trapped in Chelsea were he won't be given regular game time, Mauricio Pochettino have no plans for the attacker and keen interests in injured Christopher Nkunku. AS Roma picks interest, it might be mere rumours but back up with action, and this deal can possibly pull through. José Mourinho will bids for important players that would suit the role of Tammy Abraham who's ruled out for lengthy period of time. Romelu Lukaku is keen on making his final decision on his transfer saga this summer.

from a few days I tried to think of something realistic but very reasonable your statement that rumors of Roma offering Lukaku will only be gossip even though on the one hand Lukaku will only stay at Chelsea and will not leave this season. because as far as I know Roma is currently focused on performance of its team to improve the quality of each player play and if I see Roma does not want to spend a lot of money again to buy new players because for Mourinho the current players are enough to keep performing perfect even though they look uncompetitive in his last match.

this possibility will indeed only be rumors to pressure Juventus to immediately take this player but unfortunately it seems that Juventus have no interest in recruiting Lukaku because there was a bit of disappointment when talking about offers in the past.

It's all because of the financial limitations of this team, but hasn't Jose Mourinho proven in the last season he can improve Roma's performance even with makeshift players.
For the match against Verona, I have no doubt that they can win, with Roma failing to get full points in the first week, of course, they want to do more in this week's game so they don't experience the same thing.
I will bet big on this match for Roma win, with odds @1.85 I think it's quite worth it with a big chance of winning.

Some media say that Pavard & Club have agreed on this transfer. But, Tuchel delayed the release of the player because he needed a replacement. So, maybe before the end of this transfer window, Inter will announce his arrival. However, if Tuchel does not get a replacement, the transfer process will be deemed void. Inter have asked Munich to give a deadline until Monday, if it continues like this, it is likely that Inter will withdraw from the process.

There isn't much that Verona can do against AS Roma later, so seeing the home team lose is not surprising because AS Roma has had a pretty good head-to-head every time they have faced Verona.
Not really sure how Verona is doing this season but considering their performances last season struggling to get out of the relegation zone then Roma will be comfortable enough to beat their opponents to get their first 3 points after dropping the first game by just one point.

In the first week of the match, the two teams got different results, Verona managed to win the away game against Empoli even though with a very thin score while Roma failed to get 3 points in the home game.
If Roma manages to convince Chelsea and manage to get Lukaku he will be quite important in Jose Mourinho's squad later and give hope for Roma to perform better and get better results than last season, but Lukaku's presence has not been confirmed or is this just a rumor that the media exhaled after this striker has not yet found a club because he is at Chelsea did not get where he should, and Lukaku might be able to make Roma appear more consistent because last season this club often only got a draw or lost to a club that was not considered capable of doing so against them.
