Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Mustang Shelby]

AC MIlan itself is one of the 4 clubs that have won the maximum in the first 2 matches, while AS Roma have not tasted victory in their 2 matches. Even they had to lose when dealing with Verona last week, while Verona was one of the clubs threatened with relegation last season.
I hope they can play better in this match, because after all they need a victory to make their morale increase.

There's a serious problem Roma are still having and it's been going on since last season, and it seems to be continuing. But this isn't the end, it's the beginning of their journey.

I also hope for Roma to win because if they don't win it will be very difficult for them (even in case of a draw) to come back to the top with 1 (in case of defeat) or 2 points (in case of a draw). In the poll, I chose their minimum win, also because Milan is not so stable to win 3 starting games.
It's funny that if Napoli wins, then Lazio, which finished second last season, will have zero points after three rounds  

Lazio is still in talk with mason greenwood. It's likely lazio able to get full points if the club will buy him.   I can see how frustrated sarri is right now. Lazio has told sarri regarding mason greenwood, but no answer has come from him.
Lazio was able beating napoli last season but it will not happen again. I strongly believe napoli will steal full points from lazio. Lazio and roma are in the worst performances.

At home, Napoli would not lose to Lazio. I'm sure they will manage to beat Lazio. Lazio is a tough opponent yes, but Napoli are the defending champions and they managed to keep the whole of their squad. This year, they continue their matches as championship candidates. Lazio will have to play very carefully against them.

Are you currently watching Roma vs Milan match?
Roma made a mistake in the first half in the 9th minute right when I wrote this reply and gave Milan the opportunity to take penalty and score 1 score while I at least hoped this match would end in a draw but it seems Roma still performed little badly like the previous match.
Maybe I'm too early to make up my mind about Roma but seeing Roma playing style makes me doubt if I can beat Milan while Milan performance was very strong in this first half.
In first half, there was a lot of pressure from Milan player, who currently had greater possession of ball from Milan and continued to put pressure on the Roma defense.
Hopefully Roma can get up in the second half later even if first half was little bad but hope for best for Roma.

Although Hellas Verona won the previous two matches, the team is not able to play well in the away match of Sassuolo today. The match turned out to be extremely enjoyable. Sassuolo lead 2-1 after 70 minutes. And in the home match Sassuolo boys are performing quite well today.

Sassuolo lost the first two matches. The team lost both matches against Atalanta and Napoli. The important thing is that the team was not able to score a single goal in these two matches. And so today probably many gamblers were considering Hellas Verona as favourites. But in today's match Sassuolo is back on the truck. Their performance is also quite good. So far the match situation looks like Sassuolo will get 3 points in this match. Hellas Verona's attack looks a bit weak today.

Sassuolo won the match 3-1. Sassuolo had a great comeback after losing two matches. The dominance of Sassuolo's players was very visible throughout the match. Hellas Verona's performance was a bit slow from the start of the match. And finally the team had to admit defeat. Sassuolo players had a total of 16 shots in this match, 7 of which were on taget. Sassuolo's every attack was very strong. That's why Hellas Verona's defenders failed to resist Sassuolo. Beradi and Pinamonti's performances were excellent today.

Milan scored in just 9 minutes against Roma. Giroud scored from the penalty spot. It looks like Roma will not be able to score points today. Despite playing well in the last season, the team's performance has been poor since the beginning of this season. Roma's attack in particular is very weak.

Roma 0:1 AC Milan.

The SeriaA is looking like a league that will will be very difficult to predict this season, AC Milan has started the season with a fantastic performance as they lead in the table with two wins in two games and right now they are already leading the Jose Mourinho men 1:0 from away, can they hold on to this performance till the end of the season? Let's talk about that once they get an away win tonight against Roma.

[salad daging]

The odds for this match seem fair for both teams, but I tend to put Milan as favorites following Roma's poor results in their first two matches. Roma have failed to win their last two matches against Salernitana and Verona, so they will not be very convincing in this game against Milan who has been consistent with two wins.

Rafael Leão, Olivier Giroud and Christian Pulisic have proven good performances in Milan's two matches so far. They really succeeded in changing Milan's front line to be more effective when building attacks, so there is good hope to see these three attackers able to score goals today. And now, the big match has live.

Now Roma are one goal behind AC Milan and indeed Milan are the favorites considering the appearance of the previous few matches, so Roma in my opinion have not been able to appear confident they often have difficulty in attack and now Lukaku is coming still can not see how he is there now on the bench.

When the Milan players for the front line are solid enough, believing that this match will belong to Milan statistically the game I see Roma getting depressed means little chance for Roma to win even at home.

Suppose that with this defeat Roma will be at the bottom of the standings.

Acmilan where one of the strongest team last season and has Carried that form into this new season and even add more players to their squad to strengthen the depths that's why I'll comfortablely bet on them when they face smaller clubs, but currently leading against Roma show how strong they are and they're one club Napoli needs to the worried about and they'll definitely face serious challenge from Acmilan this season.
 Their striker the former Arsenal and Chelsea man Olivier Giroud is in a very good form this season despite his age and was the one that scored the opener with a penalty in the 9th minute of the match they're currently pressing Roma and home and are more possessive in the match, giving Roma few chances to get a quick comeback in the 1st half.

Milan is leading their lost Roma,after Patricio committed a foul  inside the box. Giroud took this opportunity to net the post for the third time in three consecutive matches with a brilliant strike on the 9th minutes of the game. Milan is really playing a fantastic game as they are creating good chances for themselves to be in charge of the game.

Roma wasn't happy that a penalty was given to their visitor and they are playing hard to make sure that they equalise the goal. Rafael Leao is having a wonderful moment in this match and I think he will score a goal due to his major role in the match. Milan is having dominance on the game,and Roma force isn't strong enough as only Belloti can't do the work.

Rome was very ineffective in the match. Mourinho must have been very pissed off in this match. In order to see a more successful Roma in the second half, he must give a motivational speech to his players. I think if Milan win this match, they won't be left behind in the leadership race easily. Motivation is very important and they will be considered to have achieved success that will motivate them.

Milan scored in just 9 minutes against Roma. Giroud scored from the penalty spot. It looks like Roma will not be able to score points today. Despite playing well in the last season, the team's performance has been poor since the beginning of this season. Roma's attack in particular is very weak.

The first half ended 1-0. I am not at all satisfied with Roma's performance. If they play like this, the team will not be able to be in the top 8 of the points table this season. We have only seen Milan's dominance in the first half, their squad has weaknesses and their match strategy is not good. Milan had 70% ball possession in the first half. Roma players can't take any advantage today. Only 2 shots were made by Roma players in the first half. Not one was on target. Roma's attack is quite weak now. A change in match strategy should be brought about. Mourinho is quite an experienced coach. Yet we have seen poor performances from Roma in every match this season.

Roma 0:1 AC Milan.

Let's talk about that once they get an away win tonight against Roma.

So far Milan's performance has been very good, especially in the first half. Milan dominated the game and really put pressure on the Roma defense well, but unfortunately they haven't scored any goals apart from 1 Giroud penalty goal. Roma certainly hoped to score, but they still struggled to find opportunities until the first half ended.

About this season, I'm sure Milan can be expected to fight for the Serie A title. But the main problem is to maintain consistency of performances and wins, that's the most difficult thing for any team. Moreover, Milan still needs to think about the Champions League, their focus is divided there, which this season is in the hell group.

I would really like to know and understand the reasons why the final solution was that Lukaku now went to Roma instead of getting more time with Inter. Isn't the only possible answer here that Inter Milan was not willing to pay enough for him either for a loan or for a transfer? He didn't have much time to find back into the squad and he did that quite well, but it was obviously not enough to convince Inter Milan to go for him for an additional season.

Or maybe Roma has offered so much more even for the loan that Chelsea blocked another loan period for Lukaku at Inter Milan. Would be nice to know but I guess we won't find out because everybody will now say how happy they are with the solution they found.

I believe Romelu Lukaku would had been an Inter Milan player currently but he decided to betrayal a club that gave him an opportunity to play in the Champions league final, went behind their back to negotiate with another Italian team Juventus which got Inter furious about his actions and they decided to step out of the any deal with Chelsea due to Lukaku's action.
 Afterwards Juventus was in a serious negotiations with Chelsea for Lukaku and there were talks about a swap that would allow Juventus striker Vlahovic move to Chelsea and Lukaku the other way but suddenly Juventus lost Interest in due to fans protests against signing Lukaku and the deal collapsed leaving Lukaku to remain in Chelsea, the Blues where not interested in keeping him this season and later accepted to allow Lukaku move on a loan deal to Roma instead of keeping him on the bench for the whole season.

Are you sure that this is how it happened? If it's true he would really be a snake, but I am not sure that whatever you find on the web might as well be just rumors.

I thought that Chelsea didn't want him back and hence wanted to sell him, but Inter Milan wasn't willing to pay the price that Chelsea was asking. I don't know what that price allegedly was, but given how much Chelsea once paid for him and he played well for Inter Milan, I guess it was quite a whopping price.

No idea whether it was really his intention to negotiate behind Inter Milan's back with another club for his own benefit. How would he even benefit from going to Juventus when they don't even play in any international cup?

[shogun47]

One problem could also be that rich teams generally have the problem to get good players cheaper because the other teams know how rich those teams are. It's like a premium they have to pay for any player they want.

But yes, the transfer of Lukaku at that amount was clearly wrong, but there are many transfers that have been clearly wrong. One great example also is Joao Felix. Those numbers are out of this world and many of the players have never lived up to that. But I think the clubs which received the money don't care right?

If the transfer that occurs to As Roman in bringing in Lukaku doesn't seem to be a problem, but it's different from the capacity in his game will it match management's expectations and coupled with Jose Mourinho's scheme, it is likely to be able to compete with other attackers, what we know is that As Roma has enough attackers good and hungry for goals like, Andrea Belotti, Stephan El Shaarawy, Paulo Dybala, Tammy Abraham, even though it's not visible yet at least we can see in the next match whether Lukaku will be useful for As Roma or will perform badly..

I am following the game against AC Milan at the moment and I have to say this is bad for Roma. AC Milan is dominating them in every respect. I thought this is rather an even game between the two teams and Roma would at least try to play their own game and set Milan under pressure, but that's not happening at all. When you look at the statistics you would immediately think that Milan is playing the home game and not Roma. With the fans supporting them, Mourinho as the coach and lots of time to prepare for this game, this is quite a disappointment situation for them. Maybe Mourinho is already regretting that he turned down the offer from the Saudi club.

1st time dominated by Milan with almost 70% ball possession.

Let's see if Lukaku will make his debut with Roma this evening

[Swordsoffreedom]

Lukaku is not successful in the Premier League. He did not play well with chelsea. Perhaps lukaku's performance will improve with roma. I personally think roma will benefit from lukaku's addition to the squad. The roma club is not very financially sound. They cannot afford to spend high amounts of money on player purchases. They may not have to spend big on Lukaku either. Moreover, even if he is not successful with Chelsea, Lukaku is a good enough striker. Lukaku could become a regular scorer if he can adapt to Roma's squad. Mourinho is also a very experienced coach. He knows very well how to use any player. Lukaku's performance is also likely to improve if he stays with Mourinho. And I am quite optimistic about it. Mourinho was able to stabilize a mediocre squad like Roma. Roma's attack will be stronger if Lukaku is in the squad.

I also think that Lukaku still has the ability and can compete in the Italian League Roma should have lucked out by paying just €5.8 millions in a loan deal
especially Roma really need a new striker to replace Tammy Abraham who is currently injured and Lukaku is the right player to replace his role.
Today we will see how Lukaku is under Mourinho whether to play better or vice versa we'll know the answer in the next 90 minutes.

Lukaku is still capable of playing at a high level so Roma are very lucky to be able to get him at a fairly cheap cost. Mourinho really understands Lukaku's personality because they have worked together several times at different clubs. Apart from that, Roma is also experiencing a striker crisis because Tamy Abraham is still struggling with injury and it is hoped that the arrival of the Belgian sticker will make Roma's attack line even more lively.
I'm pretty sure Lukaku will come back but he has to put his past behind him. Therefore Mourinho needs to reshape his mentality and provide motivation for him so that his goal instinct returns.

Roma are in desperate need of a striker as they performed today against milan. Lukaku may not be a regular scorer. But he is capable of scoring goals if he gets enough support from the players. Since roma do not have a lot of money. So they have certainly benefited by adding lukaku to the squad at a lower cost. I expect lukaku to adapt to roma very quickly. and will strengthen the roma's  attacking lineup.

Roma can't take any advantage against Milan today. Unless they are very lucky, they will surely lose today. I expected a slightly more composed performance from Roma. However, I do not think that Roma will win against Milan. Still I thought the match would be competitive. But the match is completely one-sided. Milan players are dominating the match.

Will Roma be able to have a welcome back in the second half ? With the look of how the match went in the first half,Roma are not strong enough to hold down Milan because Milan is stronger than them and we saw that in their ball possession. Also Milan had created note chances of scoring but luck wasn't on their side.  On the other hand Roma also took courage and believed that they could equalise the goal but it wasn't that easy as they thought,because Milan didn't relent in their defense. The second half will be tougher than this because Mourihno will make some changes that might turn the game in his favour. I hope to see Lukaku in the second half and let's see if he can be the man to put hope back for Roma because he is a player that aggressively penetrates his opponent defense and turn nothing to something.

They got Lukaku not too long and they still got belloti, I won't blame Lukaku if he doesn't score against Acmilan because he just got into the team and might take few matches to have a better communication with his teammates in the pitch, and another thing is that if Roma were playing against a weaker side then it would had been easier for Lukaku to shine on his debut or probably score a goal for Roma.
 However they're playing against Acmilan a very strong side this season with very strong attack filled with ambitious goalscorers so I don't think it would be easy winning them, they performed very well even before this new season and even played in the semi's so I think they decided to take this season by storm wth the form they had.

Absolutely not!

I am puzzled about their game and I am asking myself whether Mourinho will be managing Roma for much longer when they play like this. They have literally no chance against Milan. This game was supposed to be much tighter although I thought that Milan will have the advantage here and most likely win it with a 1 goal margin or something. But this game is not just a loss, it is Milan destroying Roma.

The only thing they can be happy about in this game so far is that it is only 0-2 for Milan and not 0-3 or 0-4. I guess Mourinho will freak out after the game, but he is also guilty I think. It is as if they don't have a game plan at all, which is not typical for Mourinho's teams.

Rafeal Lao has scored an astonishing goal tonight even when he was losing his balance,he still created a way of scoring the goal. His goal is one of the best that I have seen in football history. This goal will be on headline news because it is not just a goal but an unbelievable goal. What an early goal in the second half.

Damn it,a ref card has been given to Tomori to put Milan on one man down. I think this is one of the perfect moment for Roma to have a welcome back on this match. I don't think that it will be easy for Milan to win the game if there is a lot of pressure from Roma.

Mourinho's tactics seem to have been read well by Pioli this time. Roma, who usually play strongly in defense and midfield, are completely controlled by Milan, who are currently even playing with 10 players.
now is the chance for Roma to use the rest of the game to apply pressure. they didn't create enough chances, only carrying the ball in the middle and not much creation to create gaps in the Milan defense.
I want to see if Lukaku will get time for his debut in this match.

[Dewi Aries]

Are you currently watching Roma vs Milan match?
Roma made a mistake in the first half in the 9th minute right when I wrote this reply and gave Milan the opportunity to take penalty and score 1 score while I at least hoped this match would end in a draw but it seems Roma still performed little badly like the previous match.
Maybe I'm too early to make up my mind about Roma but seeing Roma playing style makes me doubt if I can beat Milan while Milan performance was very strong in this first half.
In first half, there was a lot of pressure from Milan player, who currently had greater possession of ball from Milan and continued to put pressure on the Roma defense.
Hopefully Roma can get up in the second half later even if first half was little bad but hope for best for Roma.

Do we really believe that AC Milan will win the Scudetto this season?                               
They appeared quite impressive at the start of this season by managing to get full points against Bologna and Torino. Even in today's match AC Milan looks like they will win this match because the match is entering the final minute and Roma will not be able to equalize the lead.

Pioli really understands how to fix their weaknesses last season. AC Milan is on the right track this season to win the Scudetto trophy. Giroud is quite active in scoring goals, I think he is very aggressive at his old age.
