Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[legendbtc]

Winning and losing is normal in football. We should not expect too much from a team, although last season Napoli were the defending champions. Napoli is a team with a better head-to-head record than Lazio. The defense's lack of concentration is what made Napoli pay the price. Napoli completely lost direction in the second half. Kvaratskhelia and Victor Osimhen, Napoli's two most anticipated players, were also silent in this match.
About Lazio is also in ominous form at the moment. They lost the first two matches. But Lazio plays very deliberately. He did not hold the ball more than Napoli, but Lazio was more effective in taking advantage of opportunities.
This is a lesson for the defending champion. Coach Rudi Garcia needs to adjust his squad to keep the throne.

[Asiska02]

I haven't paid close attention to Seria A table for a while but with three matches, I feel lots have change as I can see that Inter and Milan are having 3/3 matches point earned while Napoli has lost two matches and won only 1/3, that's poor but who knows if this was a shake off. Perhaps the next matches we will experience changes but similarly, this was how Napoli was able to give other teams much gap last season which they couldn't reach them again until the season max out. Inter is good and if they should continue like this, they would become unmatchable by any other teams.

If Napoli can maintain a balance from their next match against Genoa, which I strongly believe they will win, they can control the gap points the two top teams Inter Milan and AC Milan are having above them currently. No hopes have been lost yet, and no team has been confirmed to be the right winner of loser in the tournament yet. On how each team are playing currently, you can predict the potential winners but football is not always certain, so we have to wait till the end of the season to know who will earn the title this season.

Osimhen hasn't gotten a goal for Napoli in Seria A this season, I fear the hype will go down and might turn to hate if that guy refused to get the team on track. They lost to Lazio they used to beat back to back, perhaps man over enjoyed the holiday and now feel to heavy to lift the leg. 

This player Osimhen isn’t overhyped in my own view. What he did last season can still be replicated this season, for now, he can try to improve on himself to be better off last season. Just by not winning the match against Lazio is not a certainty that he’ll do poor this season or by not having plenty goals already. Let us give every team and player some benefits of doubt since the season is just starting off. Napoli hasn’t been that bad in their gameplay even though they’ve lost two matches of the three they have played. The game against Lazio was just unfortunate for them even when they tried their best to get a win but to no avail.

[EarnOnVictor]

For Napoli it was the first defeat and for Lazio it was the first victory. There were lots of comments after the big match ended, one of which was the decline in the performance of Napoli winger Kvaratskhelia. As a result, Napoli lost. Not without reason, the demands for a salary increase that Kvaratskhelia wanted were not fulfilled. Winning or losing is normal, but the defending champion losing at home is a question.

Money woes resulted from the shocking Napoli loss. I've made the decision to stop betting in order to prevent more heartbreak. In my opinion Losses are inevitable in sports but when seemingly straightforward contests go wrong, it dampens excitement. Despite being the favorites, Napoli lost illustrating the inherent risk in gambling. In the face of underdogs like Lazio, who have their own qualities, even good teams can stumble. This unexpected outcome shows a deterioration in Napoli performance from the previous season

I've been thinking, and I think Napoli might be going in the same direction as other top teams. Look at how they've done this season. Its been bad from the start. Ac Milan, Inter Milan, and Juve? They look much stronger than Napoli, and that scares me. The surprise against Lazio? That was only a taste of what was to come. I mean, Lazio, the so-called outsider, had their day against Napoli! If Napoli keeps doing this, they'll have a tough season, and I dont want that.

Oh, common!!! Just because Napoli failed to deliver on Saturday, it has become the bad team now? Well, the best clubs still have their down moments, it's unfair to say that they are bad from the start this season. The last match was their third and the first two matches were won, so they still deserve the respect. It's possible that after losing this one they could win many unbeaten again, that's football for you. From the beginning, even before the season starts, I have been saying that Napoli would be in the top 3 winners this season, meaning that I don't see it as a must for them to be in the first spot, and I will never say they can't be beaten by some clubs, such shoud ever be expected since the least performing clubs could surprise you at times.

It's now a wake up call for Napoli, they need to be seriosu and not be dwelling in the past glory. Victor Osimhen is another person that needs to continue to prove himself as a youngstar he is, he can't deliver every time but he should give it a better try during such needed rescue.

Paul Pogba is injured again!

The intensity of his injury is unknown and will need some days with medical tests to assess his injury. Career of Pogba has been affected by many injuries in last three years and he already 30 years old. According to transfermarkt.com, his transfer value is about €15.00M which is very cheap with his talent but the value makes sense because he was unable to play for Juventus too many matches since a transfer from Manchester United.

Sad to hear. Pogba has been plagued by misfortune/failure for many years now - if at United he simply could not fulfill himself (since the whole club was in decline), then at Juventus he simply cannot start playing.


Meanwhile, after the defeat from Lazio, Napoli's quotes (for the title) fell sharply:

Inter 3.00

Ac Milan 3.75

Napoli 4.33

Juventus 5.00

However, even the strongest favorite has a 33% chance of taking the title - this is a nonsense probability and speaks of great randomness. It's funny that Roma, Lazio and Atalanta have equal odds of 29.

[lixer]

Thuram, who is the transfer of Inter's striker problem last season, seems to solve this problem, but he missed a lot of positions in the match, but he creates all kinds of danger, he also has a teammate like Martinez. They did a great job today and Inter provided a lot of pressure as a team against Fiorentina. There was a difference of 4 goals in the match, but they had so many positions Inter's goals were very close, the opportunities were gone. It doesn't matter, but the match could have ended much differently.

Fiorentina is not a weak team so this winning is very impressive from Inter Milan. Marcus Thuram is continuing success of his father, Lillian Thuram, in Italy years ago. His dad succeeded as a central defender but he is a striker, plays at a very different position than his dad.

Thuram does not have good finishing skills but he can create a lot of space and opportunities for Lautaro Martinez. They can combine each other well and help to maximize strength of each player.

Agree, it is too early call about anything with many ups and downs will happen but start of the season by Inter is surely going to be impressive because this big win against team like Fiorentina is telling all story how things will be gone in coming weeks for them and I have feeling we will have completely new story like we have in last season Napoli was dominating from early days till end of the season same going to happen here Inter is going to dominate in this season and for the rest of three spots we will have tough fight in other clubs specially AS Roma and Lazio which are having the worst start of this season will struggle again for the top four because AC Milan, Juventus and Napoli all are having enough quality to lead from the front.

[execijutiere]

We can say that Inter crushed Fiorentina at home. Even though Inter didn't have much possession of the ball, they managed to score 4 goals by utilizing them very well. For Fiorentina, we can say that maybe they didn't want to focus too much on the league match because they were tired from the European Cup. It was more important for them to eliminate Rapid wien. Inter continued their winning streak in the league by winning this match. Inter are 3/3 and have scored 8 goals and conceded no goals in these matches.

[Jody.Drummer]

Week 4 will have a big match between INter Milan vs AC Milan. Both clubs are unbeaten until week 3, and interestingly Inter Milan is a club that has not felt conceded or they can record 3 cleansheets and that is the perfect cleansheet until week 3. Both clubs have recorded the same 8 goals from 3 matches, it's just that AC Milan has felt 2 conceded. With a record like that this will certainly be a very interesting match from both clubs. They want to beat each other to be able to give each other defeat.
INter Milan may benefit from playing at home, but AC Milan did not come to lose.

Winning and losing is normal in football. We should not expect too much from a team, although last season Napoli were the defending champions. Napoli is a team with a better head-to-head record than Lazio. The defense's lack of concentration is what made Napoli pay the price. Napoli completely lost direction in the second half.

This is a lesson for the defending champion. Coach Rudi Garcia needs to adjust his squad to keep the throne.

Napoli defeat in yesterday's match does not mean the end of everything but we must remember that this is still in the early stages of the season so there will be many changes that will occur and Napoli defeat I am sure will make Rudi Garcia as Napoli coach more effective in providing the best advice or good tactics to create goals every time you meet your opponent on the field.
It might look embarrassing to lose at home but in my opinion Napoli have performed well it just that mistakes have occurred which made Napoli have to accept defeat at the end of the game and many say that Napoli defense was bad against Lazio but for me it was just a carelessness on the defensive line.
Lazio had a good performance when they were guests at home to Napoli, trying to dominate the match, which in the end could change the position from a draw to a win.

[Ondekinecakabilirim]

I am also one of the people who is not surprised by Napoli's defeat because we know that Lazio is highly motivated to win its first win after losing twice before. Lazio came as a guest regardless of their opponent being Napoli and this was a challenge for Lazio by beating the Scudetto winner last season. Lazio's new recruit this season was the key to the club's victory with the second goal he scored and it is true that most people say Daichi Kamada is one of the underrated midfielders this season who is a free agent. Of course Napoli will not be sad just by this defeat and they will come back next week to target 3 points.

At least Napoli tried several times to kick at goal and put pressure on Lazio, but in the end Lazio still won with a goal shot in the last minute, which was obtained by Daichi Kamada.I see that Napoli's current strength has also decreased because last season Napoli managed to take first place quite quickly. Hopefully Napoli can regain first place this season.

Napoli kept Osimhen and other important players. They didn't sell any of their important players in the transfer window except Kim Min Jae. I think they are the favorites in the Italian Serie A again. But they will definitely feel the lack of Kim min Jae this season. They might have some problems in defense this season. On the other hand, Lazio made a very good signing with Kamada. He scored the winning goal in this match. Also, he played very effective soccer. Lazio transferred him without paying a fee. He is really a very good signing for them.

We can say that Inter crushed Fiorentina at home. Even though Inter didn't have much possession of the ball, they managed to score 4 goals by utilizing them very well. For Fiorentina, we can say that maybe they didn't want to focus too much on the league match because they were tired from the European Cup. It was more important for them to eliminate Rapid wien. Inter continued their winning streak in the league by winning this match. Inter are 3/3 and have scored 8 goals and conceded no goals in these matches.

Inter Milan were more focused and aggressive against Fiorentina because they knew what they wanted in the game and got it.
Fiorentina played really well yesterday but lacked creativity; they had 60% ball possession but only two shots on goal, and their defense were unable to handle the pressure from Inter Milan's attack, resulting in four goals.

Furthermore, I believe Inter Milan will win the match because to the way the Seria A title race has begun since the commencement of the league, and no big team will want to lose a match.

[Ayers]

Osimhen is still a striker who is quite feared in Serie A this season, he has the instinct to score goals in every game, moreover we have seen his aggressiveness in the previous season and we don't doubt his ability for a bit. The previous defeat does not mean that Napoli are so weak this season, in fact I think Napoli can make a comeback to win in the next match like they did in the previous season.

Osimhem is strong and talented, goal productive but he must play more wisely to avoid injuries. Success of his career depends on how he can avoid as many injuries as possible. He has a style like Didier Drogba but relying on his strength and always ready to join physical fighting are not good for his career in long term. He should know when to avoid unnecessary fighting.

Without injuries, Osimhem will be able to score many goals for Napoli in this season and contribute to defend Scudetto.

He is a great player. He was also being pursued by a lot of clubs, but Napoli has been successful in actually keeping him in the team. So I believe that he has to be respectful and also has to perform consistently. He should actually be careful about not picking up any injuries, even if it is for the sake of his own career. If he gets injured now that will affect his career very negatively, so he must not get injured. And any players should actually avoid unnecessary fights. I absolutely agree that if he does not face any kind of injury, he will definitely be able to perform consistently. And if that is possible, he will definitely become one of the best pretty quickly.

Paul Pogba is injured again!

The intensity of his injury is unknown and will need some days with medical tests to assess his injury. Career of Pogba has been affected by many injuries in last three years and he already 30 years old. According to transfermarkt.com, his transfer value is about €15.00M which is very cheap with his talent but the value makes sense because he was unable to play for Juventus too many matches since a transfer from Manchester United.

For some reason, a lot of players who actually have a great physique cannot avoid the injuries. Paul Pogba is one of them. He definitely has a great physique, but he is getting injured quite often. That has been a big barrier to his success in his career recently. Correct me if I’m wrong, but this time he has a muscle injury in his thigh, at least that is as far as I know. And his transfer value has definitely gone down because of him being injured very often.

Paul Pogba is a very good player, he's skillful and has the vision to deliver good passes, he performed very well at Manchester United and even helped them win the Europa League trophy during the Jose Mourinho era, he's one player I really like to watch in the France team and has been brilliant for both club and Country side, I was shocked to see Pogba leaving United for a free transfer to Juventus because I couldn't imagine they'll lose such a quality player for free.
 But since he's arrived at Italy again to play for Juventus he's not quite have a good time with his new team due to injury crisis and I feel that's what might cut his career short, because the more injuries he sustains the lesser playing time he gets and that's very bad for a plater of such quality because with time he'll be forced to retire from professional football in his early 30's if it persist.

Inter have a solid midfield, which can help them in defense and that is very frustrating for the Fiorentina players. Fiorentina controlled the ball because it was the ball they controlled to find gaps in Inter's defense, and they didn't get it in that match.
Meanwhile, when Fiorentina planned an attack, there was an open side of the defense. and Inter used this to create very effective and sharp attacks. After 4 goals without a reply, Fiorentina really frustrated.

For some reason, a lot of players who actually have a great physique cannot avoid the injuries. Paul Pogba is one of them. He definitely has a great physique, but he is getting injured quite often. That has been a big barrier to his success in his career recently. Correct me if I’m wrong, but this time he has a muscle injury in his thigh, at least that is as far as I know. And his transfer value has definitely gone down because of him being injured very often.

Pogba should have an important role in the Juventus squad. but unfortunately, he was injured too often. This may be related to the training portion and also the player's lifestyle. However, no player wants to get injured and just watch their teammates struggle on the field.
Pogba looks quite in pain from his injury at the moment. Hopefully, it won't be too serious and make him have to rest longer. this could really annoy Juventus if he is not in the squad.

[rendravolt]

Unlike last season when Empoli managed to embarrass Juventus at home and now it seems Juventus have succeeded in getting revenge with a 0-2 win away from home last night. Juventus are getting more confident every week and even though last week they only drew against Bologna, at least they can get back to winning ways after beating Empoli. We can see that now Juventus are in 3rd position and of course they have no doubts at all being competitors to win the Scudetto this season. Juventus is only 2 points away from the Milan duo who currently both have 9 points in the standings.

[bestcoins1]

The previous defeat does not mean that Napoli are so weak this season, in fact I think Napoli can make a comeback to win in the next match like they did in the previous season.

One defeat at the start of the season is indeed not an assessment that the Napoli team is already weak because there are still many games for Napoli to make a better comeback. Osimhen is still a mainstay player for Napoli and all the teams in Serie A this season also know that Osimhen is a player to watch out for so that Lazio was able to create a better defense against Napoli and it went quite well because Osimhen was unable to score against Lazio with more goals.

Napoli played quite well in the previous match by managing to score many opportunities but they had difficulty scoring goals because of Lazio tight defensive line. In the next match, Napoli will face Genoa, which will be a comeback match to achieve victory and I hope Osimhen et al can do it to maintain their hopes of competing at the top of the standings.

Genoa is a fairly weak opponent for Napoli, although the next match for Napoli will take place at home to Genoa. But that match is an opportunity for a comeback for Napoli for more fierce competition in the standings, because at the start of this season the top flight of the standings has begun to be dominated by Napoli's rivals who are overall also very strong this season.

Indeed, Juventus should be strong again in the race for the Scudetto this season, because basically Juventus also do not have a busy schedule this season. Therefore, then of course Juventus must be able to focus more on being more consistent in Serie A, and with these considerations, maybe Juventus can guarantee to win the Scudetto this season. Because yes, there is no good reason for Juventus to fail in this season to get the Scudetto, because basically Juventus performance this season also looks better than last season.

They have perfect conditions to only fight for Scudetto in this season and they have enough good players to achieve it. They did not lose Vlahovic after the summer transfer that is a great success for them as he is a very good striker.

Chiesa already had part of the last season to warm up and familiarize with real matches after his injury so I expect to see better Chiesa in this season for Juventus. In the last season, because of many injuries, Juventus gave chances to some young players who played well for them. If those young players continue their growth, play better and have more contributions in this season, Juventus would become a stronger team.

Winning Scudetto needs many conditions but I believe Juventus will play better than the past season and they will need to wait for other clubs to get enough conditions and points to take Scudetto from Napoli.

But you need to remember that competition in Serie A is always very tight and many factors can affect a team's journey in one season. With the experience they have, Juventus are used to facing pressure and high expectations in the race for the Serie A title, which can be an advantage for them.
Apart from that, their absence from elite European competitions means they have more time for domestic competitions. And Juventus' consistency is the key to winning the title. Juventus must ensure that they do not lose valuable points in a match that they should win easily. Let's see, does Juventus have the potential to win the Scudetto? Juventus must be able to manage the team well, make the right tactical decisions, and have a backup plan in case of problems in the middle of the season. to win the scudetto this season

Juventus is slowly but surely building slowly to build a solid team which of course takes quite a long time, overhauling all the management and players is certainly not an easy thing, it definitely requires a process, where Juventus is running well this season it is certainly a good achievement to be able to win important matches even though they don't participate in Europe, of course it will make it easier for Juventus to focus on winning the Scudetto this season.

In fact, Juventus broke into Empoli's goal several times but Dusan Vlahovic's penalty was saved by the Empoli goalkeeper and several goals scored by Paul Pogba were disallowed by the referee. The score was likely that Juventus could have achieved a big victory last night, but the score was 0-2 for Juventus' victory. Seems like that's much more than enough...

Maybe Juventus are not taken into account this season considering their condition last season which was quite apprehensive. But that's not an excuse considering the situation in the Bianconeri's body is quite stable. I'm sure this season Juventus will do everything to target finishing in the Champions League zone. Allegri also has enough time and full concentration on domestic competition so that will give him time to polish a more mature squad. But I doubt if they are targeting the Scudetto because it would be too much and they also haven't fully received a real challenge from several other potential champion teams such as AC Milan, Inter and Napoli, but if they are able to do something and can beat these elite teams then there is a chance of Si The Old Lady is quite open to winning the Scudetto.
