Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[QueenVera]

Isn't this at least 7-8 games too early to say that AC Milan is already the biggest favorite to win the Scudetto? Sure I am ok if they won like 7 games or more in a row, but when Napoli started well last season, there weren't many people saying that Napoli will definitely be the biggest favorite for the Scudetto. It is still early days and one thing that could be misleading here is the strength of the Roma squad. Losing against AC Milan and also not winning the other games rather speaks volumes in terms of Roma's quality. They could get into deep trouble if nothing changes quickly.

I think it's early to say that but it's quite right to say that they're one of the top contenders for the Scudetto,  and I think why people are saying so is because of their performance last season and they didn't relent still brought that form into this start and have started with a good winning mentality so far which would help them on their journey to winning the Scudetto if they maintain such form, well they still have other competitors like Napoli which i feel are the favourites and Intermilan but we shouldn't leave out Juventus cause they might shock everyone this season.
 Against Roma, I think the Acmilan squad was too tough for them and there was little they could do to comeback since they're playing a team with a better squad and better performance but I believe they'll bounce back because they've got one of the best coach in their possession all he just need is to work on the teams confidence and team spirit.

AC Milan had a fantastic performance last night. The team is impressively strong and well-prepared. Hopefully, they can continue to build on this momentum.
However, I have to admit that Pioli's decision-making cost them the game again. Pioli make this match unnecessarily difficult. It would have been wise for the coach to substitute Tomori right after the second half to avoid risking him playing with a yellow card. Tomori tends to make too many mistakes. Considering his recent poor form, he deserves the red rest.

It was a good call by the ref and I think he deserved the red card because the offense by tomori was intentional, well I don't blame the coach decision to leave him in the pitch, because they were already leading with a 0-2 and was carried away by that and didn't see any need to change Tomori, but I believe he should had done that because Tomori flopped yesterday and was too harsh on his defense despite the first yellow thankgoodness it didn't make them drop a point they managed to win with a 1-2 victory.
 Well Tomori was not the only player that got a card another former Chelsea player Reuben Loftus-cheek got booked too but with a yellow but the difference is that he played brilliantly and was the reason behind the penalty that led to the 1st goal by Olivier Giroud and I love the nice move Loftus-cheek made that cause the opposition defender to foul  him I'm their 18yard box, he's been an important player for Acmilan so far impressing in their matches so far.

Well, the player should have definitely thought about the earlier Yellowcard before making such a challenge. The red card was definitely a good decision by the ref, nothing wrong with that. But I definitely think that because they were leading by 2-0, the coach should have taken him off. But anyway we got to see the debut of Romelu Lukaku. Not anything extraordinary from him. But he did have a chance to score.

AC Milan had some more chances. But they could not score, any more than two. AC Milan could actually even avoid conceding the goal. If not for that big deflection. Probably the goalkeeper might have actually saved the shot.

The match between Napoli and Lazio will start soon. Napoli won the first two games in the league, while Lazio lost the first two games.
For the first time this season, Kvaratshelia starts a game in the starting line-up. New signing Jesper Lindstrom is among the reserves. We can see him on the field at the last minutes of the game. Rudi Garcia's biggest trump card will again be Osimhen.
I expect Napoli to win. But it will be a tough match for sure.

It seems that at this moment Lazio does not have his best performance because after all, about Lazio's two defeats in the previous match also the reality is. Lazio only played against mediocre teams which is clear, both of Lazio's previous opponents have lower quality. But still, Lazio failed to win in the previous two matches and with these bad results, then of course playing away against Napoli could be Lazio's third defeat at this moment in a row. I don't understand why Lazio can be this bad at the beginning of the season, while last season at least Lazio had a good performance. So yes, regarding this ongoing match I personally do not doubt Napoli to win, because Lazio are also not in good form at this moment.

Played well three matches I think too early to say Milan is favorite team for winning Scudetto in this season, current performance from AC Milan last season have start well at the first half but they loss many points on crucial match exactly on second half make them get many points difference from Napoli and success winning Scudetto last season. AC Milan is the bigger team but they can't manage well when have crucial match exactly they will play in Champion League and get in difficult group. Winning three matches in a row can't guarantee for Milan get easily scudetto in this season because they will get difficult against top teams from Inter, Juventus and Napoli. I don't think AS Roma is bigger team because their performance not consistency in last three matches.

Lazio have lost their last two matches against weaker opponents. Lazio cannot win against weak teams like Lecce and Geona. But even then this group cannot be called weak. They have a strong squad. This team has the ability to perform well if the problems within the team are resolved.

However, the match ended in a 1-1 draw at the end of the first half. Napoli is a strong team and they are favorites in today's match. And they are playing very well. Even then, Napoli can't make much of an advantage. Because Lazio's main goal is to draw the match. And that's what I think from their performance. The team is playing very defensively. Even though the match is now tied at 1-1, I expect Napoli to win.

Talking about inconsistency they drew against Salernitana at home, lost against Verona away and also against Acmilan with a 10men at home, what a very poor way to begin the season and if they continue this way they'll be no where close to the top 6 which makes it right to say they're not a bigger team anymore even if they've got some good players and one of the best coach in the world.
 Their next match would be against Empoli after the international break and I expect the players to bounce back into winning ways, the Champions Napoli are currently playing a 1-1 draw with lazio, home team have been impressive in the 1st half  though the away team managed to equalize but I think Napoli would find a way to win when the second half kicks off and get a three point instead of dropping behind Acmilan.

Milan has become the strongest candidate to win scudetto. Intermilan is also following behind it and then napoli. Some transfers being made by acmilan already showed its result. Acmilan might win against roma with a cleansheet if tomori would not get a red card.
Tomori needs to learn from his mistake and he shall not repeat it again. I was so happy by seeing acmilan become fully defensive after tomori was out from the field.
Pioli's squad was trying so hard in defending from the pressure that has come from roma. Glad milan can steal full points from as roma. Roma is still facing a disaster caused by it's only owning 1 point.

Acmilan's performance becomes even more consistent compared with the last season.

We shouldn't be too quick to make a decision to say who will hold the Scudetto title this season when the summer has just started and later we will see lots of changes that will occur such as player injuries etc. which will change the condition and situation of the club for better or worse.
It is natural that someone will be too confident when their favorite club can stand in first place in the Serie A standings, but we also have to think about the competition in Serie A, this will be difficult after the adaptation of all the new players and also other players are able to unite strategies in the middle of the season, such as Inter Milan, Napoli, Juventus will be big clubs that have a chance of holding the Scudetto title this season, even though Milan is at the top of the standings, that doesn't mean there won't be any surprises, while the point difference is only 3 and it's quite easy for Napoli to regain their position at the top of the standings.
We can all conclude who will be the holder of the title in this Serie A after entering the mid-season round when the points have increased a lot and we will see a very large difference in points from several clubs and at that time we correctly assume that certain clubs will deserve it the Scudetto title and for Roma it doesn't seem like it will take long after Mourinho added Lukaku as the main player there will be a slight increase from the performance of the next match even though the previous matches were disappointing but we'll just have to wait for the final result.

Yes if we speak out if from a more general point of view, I think AC Milan almost always belongs to the circle of favorites who have a realistic chance to win the Scudetto. We agree on that and as you pointed out, it is not only about the first three games now because even very weak teams sometimes have a head start because things go very well and so on and so forth, but that doesn't make them a main contender for the title

I saw a few minutes of the game between Napoli and Lazio and I was quite sure that Napoli would win that battle with ease. This is crazy as Lazio had exactly two shots on target and they both hit. Still a few minutes left for the equalizer.

[Doell]

After losing against Frosinone in the previous week, Atalanta is targeting victory now in the match against Monza. But Atalanta have no trouble against Monza, because they lead by 3-0 for now. Meanwhile, Monza also couldn't make a surprise because there time is few minutes remaining, so it seems like Atalanta will secure the three points tonight. In another match, Napoli vs Lazio this match really amazing match, Napoli were favorites to win but Lazio doesn't give Napoli wins. Although Napoli is better in terms of opportunity and possession of the ball, but they weren't very lucky. But also this match wasn't over yet, there was still time although there were a few minutes remaining.

You are too quick to conclude that Milan will be this winner this season. Don't forget that Inter and Napoli are there also. I will accept that Milan start beautifully well but the season hasn't gone far and how are we sure that they will be able to be consistent till the end.

I am not against them winning the league because I believe that if they can continue with this performance,they will achieve it,but along the line injuries and inconsistency might come in to weaken their performance. We have seen this several times with some clubs that will be doing great and later,they will decline in performance.

I think it's only natural to put Milan in the favourites, but of course in the context of three games it's not enough to be based on assumptions. The most difficult thing to predict is the deduction of points, as happened to Juventus, which is very painful in my opinion. Injury and accumulation factors will be included in the calculation of the ups and downs in performance, but receiving the point deduction sanction is really beyond everyone's expectations.

On the other hand, we hope that something like this will not happen again in Serie A, of course we only want to see our favorite club win the Scudetto with an entertaining game.

Lazio Just won at Napoli home for 2-1 plus 2 disallowed goals for offside.

Dominated game and first 3 points with the previous winner of the serie A.

Even last season they played very well until the first 10 matches.
But it is not wrong to also make Milan as one of the candidates now with its performance which is still fairly good, it's just that back again for Serie A sometimes the increase in performance and the decline in performance of a club cannot be predicted if you look at Serie A in the last few seasons.
We certainly know how the increase in the performance of several clubs last season such as Lazio, Milan and Inter and even Juventus was so fast and the decline was just as fast. So this season is also still possible like that where early performance is sometimes interrupted by consistency which makes their end not too good.

Lazio Just won at Napoli home for 2-1 plus 2 disallowed goals for offside.

Quite an interesting match where Lazio can finally get their first 3 points this season and Napoli began to taste defeat at the beginning of the season after the previous 2 seasons for the beginning of the season Napoli was very difficult to lose
Napoli played very well in this match only they failed to provide opportunities on target because Lazio defended very well in this match.
Lazio's defense was quite tight which made it difficult for Napoli to penetrate the penalty box from Lazio and several attempts outside the penalty box did not go well.
This 1-2 score is enough to make me lose my bet.

Now that was an unexpected result! Napoli, the Serie A leader lose vs Lazio which failed to win against Lecce and Genoa! I wonder know how many other people lost their bets in such way..
There wasn't any other surprises in the other games played today with Atalanta winning good vs Monza, Bologna winning too vs Cagliari and the draw between Udinese and Frosinone. Well maybe in this match I thought Udinese could make it

Too bad Rudi Garcia got his first defeat at home against Lazio they really tried to turn the game around but couldn't convert the chances they had and allowed Lazio to convert  2 of the 5 shots they had this game would mess up alot of people bet because many expected Napoli to win comfortably at home and I'm glad I didn't bet on the game, Oshimen could not deliver his team today making them to drop point and giving Acmilan chance to top the table until after the International break.
 Acmilan are currently toping with 9 points and have won all their 3 games which makes them one of the top contenders and a threat to Napoli winning the league well they still have other contender like their rivals Intermilan that would be playing Fiorentina at home, the match would be a tough on but if Inter manages to win with a fine goal margin then they'll top the league

[coinlocket$]

Yeah, Atalanta is back on track once again.
Monza seems not so good like the past year even if they haven't changed so much.

Tomorrow Inter will probably take the lead of the League.

Last season they were also like that but Milan's problem that still cannot be overcome is that they are sometimes unable to provide good consistency in the middle of the season.
3 weeks passed with 3 wins and goal productivity is very good for Milan at the moment but it will feel useless if in the end they make the same mistakes as last season.

Yes, what is worrying here is their consistency in every match, especially since this is only the start of the season, there is still a lot to go through. Moreover, in the UCL, they are also in a quite tough group. Well, this consistency is really needed in every match, if they can be more consistent and solid, then maybe they can achieve what they hope for. It may not be that easy to win the Scudetto title.

On the other hand, surprising results came from Napoli's defeat. Napoli had to submit to Lazio when they hosted. In fact, Napoli dominated the match and they carried out a lot of attacks, but unfortunately, they were not accurate and sharp enough to score goals. moreover, some of the saves from the Lazio goalkeeper were quite impressive. This is their first defeat of the season, it will really be a useful experience for them in the future to improve their performance, especially on the front line again.

Lazio Just won at Napoli home for 2-1 plus 2 disallowed goals for offside.
Dominated game and first 3 points with the previous winner of the serie A.

Honestly, I never expected Napoli to be defeated at home. And I never imagine Lazio will defeat them. If we consider the first 2 matches of Serie A, Napoli looks very superior, they won all the matches and scored more than 2 goals in each match. While Lazio never won 2 first matches although they played against weak teams. It is more interesting that Lazio only could score 1 goal from 2 first matches. So, no one expects Lazio to win in this match, especially the match is held in Napoli home.

If we look at the stats of the match, there is nothing wrong with Napoli. They very dominated the match, won the ball possessions and made 22 shots. Sadly, they failed to make more goals, they only could score a single goal. And I really don't know why Osimhen couldn't score any goal in this match, it is not a strong team which has solid defenders.
