Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[marcous]

I'm sure Mourinho will find a way to make Lukaku score and help As.Roma as much as he can because Mourinho is well known for being able to give players another chance to prove that they are indeed a great football player. Otherwise , if Mourinho won't make Lukaku look good again , I think he will transfer to Saudi Arabia next year or even MLS.

I think one of the factors is that Lukaku stayed in Europe and chose to move to Roma, because he wanted to play at Euro 2024. After that, Lukaku is also very likely to move to the SPL, last summer there were also several offers coming in for him. Jose Mourinho really knows Lukaku, because he has worked together before. Of course Mourinho wants Lukaku to score more goals for the club, in your opinion Mourinho can unleash Lukaku potential to excel again.

I'm sure that these two weeks of break really happened at the right time for Roma, to allow them to recover some players in midfield and perhaps Dybala in attack, furthermore Lukaku has made a positive impression on the national team due to his state of physical fitness.

I'll venture some predictions for the fourth day of the Italian Serie A :

Roma -Empoli 1
Juventus - Lazio 1 ( despite the recent win of lazio against Napoli I see a steady growth in Juventus lately
Genoa -Napoli  2
Monza - Lecce 1 ( despite Lecce being still undefeated I think this time they might capitulate)

It is true that AS Roma had a difficult start to the season, finishing in the bottom three. Coach Mou and the supporters must be disappointed in this circumstance. However, there is hope for a change of fortune, particularly in light of their forthcoming game against Empoli. The chances are in favour of AS Roma because of their impressive track record versus Empoli in the past. They have a significant chance to get three muchneeded points in this game and escape the relegation zone. It would be embarrassing to fail to do so, but I share your confidence that AS Roma will rise to the challenge and defeat Empoli.

AS Roma still can't get first three points in this season after having bad start in domestic league with 2 loss of 3 games and one draw, its not good performance from AS Roma usually consistent on the top standings position but until matchday 3 Jose Mourinho have to see his teams on bottom or relegation standing zone. Upcoming match against another relegation teams zone Empoli, could be good advantage for AS Roma because the opponent teams still not get points yet and opportunity for Roma move up to several position above if success get three points. AS Roma have back to the top performance and get winning capital before playing in UEFA Europe League on opening match against Sheriff and Jose Mourinho have target for winning tittle in this season after loss opportunity last season.

[Jatiluhung]

I think that Roma lacks the quality behind in their defense as in attack Bellotti is doing pretty well.What is not working in the Roma team is their defense which usually cost the games to the team,I should not point out of course a single point a failure in a team as they are a team and when the team wins is the merit of all of them and when they lose they lose together.So to get things together Roma should do everything in their power to win against Empoli in this upcoming encounter after the Euro qualifiers finish,the chances are for Roma to win against a team like Empoli but if they fail to win even this game then things are quite bad for Roma.

No matter how bad Roma is, it's still not much worse than Empoli. Because we ourselves can also see that Empoli even experienced 3 lucky defeats. Meanwhile, Roma has at least 1 draw and 2 defeats. And because Roma is the host, I think the Roma squad will have a much higher enthusiasm to win because it will be witnessed by their own supporters. Several things that are indicators of weaknesses for Roma are in the back line. But I also want to say that their attack line is also a little blunt at the moment. Their attack is not as sharp as last season. But because this is just the beginning, let's see what the future holds. I think Roma still has time to improve. At least they have to win the match against Empoli. Well because if they fail then I also agree that it's really not good for the Club. Because losing too many points will make it even more difficult for them to recover.

[len01]

this derby match will be a fierce match between Inter vs Milan, both teams have almost equal performance but Inter Milan seems to be more favored by the bookies because from the last few matches Inter looks a little stronger than Milan even though both of them have never been defeated in their last 3 matches. but I will still support Inter in this match and betting on this match will be very profitable for both teams given the slightly bigger odds by the bookmaker.

@len01 I have often seen team’s lose momentum post the international break so it’ll be really interesting to see if these two can continue playing like they were playing before the break came into effect. Furthermore is there any updates on the injuries on either sides because it’s important to discuss those before backing any one particular team and to be honest both look strong to me hence I expect the match to end in a draw only.

yep, we really have to consider before betting on this derby match when Milan is experiencing anxiety when Olivier Giroud was injured after playing for France last time and it is very clear that this will be pressure for Stefano Pioli as Milan coach, he must have another plan that can replace Giroud position if he is absent from this derby match and I see from several people who are talking about Milan current concerns that it seems like the Milan coach has prepared several reliable players who will replace Giroud.

for Inter there is absolutely no worry for now Inter is a little more comfortable after hearing this news giving him little chance of winning and I think after reading many sources of analysis I seem to have another option betting on both teams scoring.

[Cookdata]

I'm sure Mourinho will find a way to make Lukaku score and help As.Roma as much as he can because Mourinho is well known for being able to give players another chance to prove that they are indeed a great football player. Otherwise , if Mourinho won't make Lukaku look good again , I think he will transfer to Saudi Arabia next year or even MLS.

Lukaku move was a success before AS Roma had their last match with Milan and I don't understand why they didn't fix him on the that match despite seeing how poor the team has been over some weeks now. To even say that Milan booked red card with 10 players against 11, they couldn't beat Milan, it was at the die minute they later score 1 which was less than what Milan scored(2 goals to 1). Mourinho has a lot of work to do because 3 matches, 1 even and 2 loss isn't going to take them anywhere.

AS Roma is lucky this season, they don't have much work load of matches like that, just like last season of 2 leagues, Seria A and Europa. They did well and reach the final for the Europa and took six place in domestic league, they should improve more than this with Lukaku presence.

Lukaku is a talented player. If Mourinho can use Lukaku properly, he will be able to score a lot of goals. However, neither Lukaku nor Roma have performed well so far. I don't think Mourinho's match strategy is good so far. At the same time Roma's defense is also weak. Mourinho needs more time to stabilize this team. And so I don't expect a great performance from Roma in the next few weeks. In the next few matches, Roma will play against weaker teams like Empoli, Torino, Girona and Frosinone. Roma is the favorite in every match. A bit of consistency in performance would really enable the team to score full points against these teams.

In my opinion, i think Jose Mourinho is looking after the wrong garden and ignoring the main problem in the AS Roma team. With Rui Patricio at the helm for AS ROMA, They will never challenge for the Serie A title or any major honors; Mourinho needs to get a better goalkeeper then worry about getting lukaku firing. Lukaku will also find form, he needs to do so for his career.

Yes indeed, AS Roma is experiencing a bad situation and condition at this moment but maybe, after the current break then maybe it will make AS Roma can play even better in the next match. Because although so far AS Roma still has not won from the three matches that have been played, but at least AS Roma also always has goals in each match. Therefore, then of course there is still a great chance for AS Roma to win in the next match because yes, the important thing that AS Roma must have at this time is to have a better defense.

AS Roma still has big problems in the defensive area. I'm sure Mourinho must have thought of a solution to this. Because if they continue to concede goals like this, their ranking in the league will not be good at all. Although they started this year with the dream of becoming a champion, their hopes are now broken from the first matches.

I always believe that during the start of the season, most of the teams are not always in their best form and have to take time to adapt to the changes that’ll be felt from the beginning of the season on how each team plays at that time, understanding and grasping the game, and also understanding out to counter your opponents will take a little while. How fast a team is able to adapt to this changes tells how far they can go in the league. So I’m expecting a big change from AS Roma when they play Empoli, also given to the fact that they are also managed under a good coach like Jose Mourinho. They’ll probably overcome all this and stand strong in the league henceforth.

being held to a draw by Salernitana, losing to Verona and finally losing to Milan, Roma's performance was very disappointing in their last 3 matches since the start of the season, what was worse imo was when Roma vs Verona, even in the first half Roma conceded 2-0.  Roma's midfield and back line are currently very weak, this is the reason why Roma is reported to be buying 2 other players in the next transfer market.

against Empoli, Roma will be the host, Roma's winning percentage is quite high on paper, if Roma loses this match then i doubt Mourinho will stay to coach Roma.

Basically I can expect Roma to get a turning point against Empoli in the next match. They have lost so many points that they should have won, so this is the best opportunity to stop the streak of bad results. Moreover, Empoli also performed poorly in the last 3 matches and Roma has home advantage which will make the team more motivated to win.

Mourinho had to make several efforts to get his team's confidence back up after losing 8 points in the first 3 matches, but losing to Verona was really bad for Roma. I believe Roma can win maximum points at home, it is the best opportunity for them.

[Litzki1990]

Serie A is waiting for a big match on September 16. Inter Milan and AC Milan will meet in this match for the first time in the new season. So far these two teams have played three matches each where they are at the first and second position in the points table with 9 points from 3 matches. 

This AC Milan vs Inter Milan match will be held at San Siro Stadium. San Siro Stadium is AC Milan's home ground, so AC Milan is expected to be ahead in this match against Inter Milan. 

The stakes in this match will be almost equal as the performances of the two teams are very close, but considering the home match of AC Milan, the stakes may be higher in favor of Inter Milan. I will bet for AC Milan in this important match.

This match will prove who will take the lead from this new season, because the two teams has won their three matches to be among the top teams in the Italian league table with 9 points. Inter Milan players has showcased some new signs that made many people to believed that they will go far in this season, because their strikers has contributed a lot of things that made the team to stand for second position with 9 points to make their fans happy and to encourage them that they have what it takes to win their next match to achieve the victory from AC Milan. If you watch Inter Milan first match and AC Milan first match, you will know that Inter Milan will defeat AC Milan 1-0 to embrace the three points from the match, because they will not allow AC Milan to use home advantage to have access to their goalpost.

Through the match between Inter Milan vs AC Milan, the number 1 and number two position of the point table will be decided for sure, but there is one but, if the match between Inter Milan vs AC Milan is a draw, then the position of the point table will be the same as before.

Although AC Milan is relatively ahead in this match, it will never be so easy for this team to win against Inter Milan. We have already seen evidence of how strong Inter Milan can be in all these matches. Manchester City may have won the Champions League last season, but Inter Milan performed better than Manchester City in that match. But even if Inter Milan is a tough opponent, I will bet for AC Milan.

Otherwise , if Mourinho won't make Lukaku look good again , I think he will transfer to Saudi Arabia next year or even MLS.

There is not much thing that is wrong with Lukaku. Since he started his professional football career, that is how he behaves . Lukaku will be so exceptional in one season and the other season he will lag a bit and the other two seasons, he will still be great. He is not that type of player that is always consistent like for over five seasons and that does not mean that he is not a good player. Players like Lukaku will not to go out of the game till they retire. Unlike Aubameyang is no longer in the game. Lukaku will not have such an experience.
Playing with Mourinho is another blessing for both Lukaku and his coach because Mou understands Lukaku from English football. So it will not be difficult for both of them to integrate and help the club.

[Raflesia]

This is still possible.
Lukaku has had enough rest after playing for Belgium and if his health is stable then there is no reason to keep him on the bench especially as Roma must now take 3 points as they are yet to win this early in the season.
Lukaku could be a good alternative even though his form is still not good but he can definitely show something good at Roma.

On the other hand, Roma's advantage is also now a little bigger because Empoli are still below them and Empoli's performance is not better than Roma so it would be a shame if this match Roma again did not get points.

Yes, Roma must be able to exploit their opponent's weaknesses as best as possible to chase their first win of the season. Mourinho understands Lukaku character well enough so he will choose Lukaku to be the starter throughout this season. So, for Lukaku himself, he must be able to take advantage of this opportunity to give everything he can to bring Roma their first victory in front of their supporters.

I am sure Empoli will play relatively defensively in this match because in their last 5 meetings with Roma, Empoli have never won a match when they faced Roma. So a draw might improve Empoli performance when facing Roma so they will fight to thwart Roma chances of securing 3 points.

That's the point, because looking at the current situation Lukaku and Roma have to prove themselves.
Lukaku must do his best so that he is not too still worthy to be seen as a great player on the other hand, Roma are also the same because they must start to rise especially when their opponent is a club that is critical in terms of performance.

It is possible that Empoli will do a defensive scheme again in this match but on the other hand, this is what Roma must take advantage of by trying to attack and create goals because that's how they can win especially with the current conditions actually Mou must try better because they are still bad in attack.

This is still possible.

As a player that just arrived few days to their Italian Serie A game against AC Milan, I never expected Romelu Lukaku to start that particular game and as expected he came from the bench but unfortunately for him, he didn't  didn't have a major impact as they lost the game at home to AC Milan.
That being said, I think Romelu Lukaku didn't come to Roma to be starting matches on bench as I'm sure the manager Jose Mourinho is very much aware of that. Tammy Abraham is currently sidelined with injury and I don't see any reason why the Belgium international wouldn't start their next game.

Lukaku made his Roma debut as a substitute and he played from the 70th minute btw, but for the next game against Empoli I don't think that will be the case as he will definitely be in the starting line up apart from proving that he can be a good option, this is also Lukaku's real introduction in Roma.

[kawetsriyanto]

Rudi Garcia is a good coach but i prefer Spalletti's approaching to football, he's more tactical and has more better strategy and experience than Rudi Garcia when I comes to attacking football and I believe they probably won't had lost the match against Lazio if he were presently their manager and with the way they played against Napoli I'm beginning to question if he'll perform better against Italian clubs like Acmilan or inter that are more fierce and eager to score goals.

For this reason, Rudi Garcia has just started his career at Napoli, so he still needs a little more time to truly adapt. Although in reality, a professional trainer should be ready from the start and must be able to adapt quickly whatever happens. especially at Napoli, where comparisons will definitely be made with the previous coach, Spalletti. Indeed, as you said, Spaletti is indeed more tactical and often provides more appropriate tactics during the match. He often brings his team to compete more effectively, of course he is always solid in every match. Meanwhile, Rudi Garcia may still need a little more polishing to be able to truly live up to expectations, what is certain is that they actually have quite a bit in common in several ways, including in conveying or managing their strategy.

against Empoli, Roma will be the host, Roma's winning percentage is quite high on paper, if Roma loses this match then i doubt Mourinho will stay to coach Roma.

Their consecutive defeats so far have been very hard. Roma not only failed, but also really embarrassed the impression and views of many people about the club. Even Mou, who is known as a legendary coach, still received a lot of criticism because he was deemed to have failed in coaching Roma at the start of this season. But on the other hand, Mou still has confidence that they can rise again and correct their fatal mistakes in the early matches. So at least they can win against Empoli and get some more wins, of course.

If Roma fail to win their next match then I'll know that they're not resdy for this season or their coach Mourinho has become old and incompetent of handling the club, because they're playing at home which gives them more advantage and they're more favorable team to win the match even the bookies confirmed that,  Roma have been very poor this season and they've not won any match yet out of three they've had two losses and one draw and currently in the relegation zone, which is very poor record for a club like Roma with a very experienced manager like José Mourinho and several experienced players, talking about experience their recent signing Lukaku has got good experience in the Italian league and it would be really needed against Empoli since he might not be coming bench like the previous match, Jose Mourinho needs to use this match to turn things around for his team by securing 3 points.

[nurilham]

Basically I can expect Roma to get a turning point against Empoli in the next match. They have lost so many points that they should have won, so this is the best opportunity to stop the streak of bad results. Moreover, Empoli also performed poorly in the last 3 matches and Roma has home advantage which will make the team more motivated to win.

Everyone wants to see a better performance of AS Roma. They performed too badly in the early of this season. It is something quite unpredictable, they are in the relegation zone temporarily. It is not a proper position for a club like AS Roma, ideally they must be on the top 5 of Serie A table. Sadly, they never won any match so far, they lose 8 points in the first 3 matches of Serie A matches. Personally, I'm not really sure that AS Roma will be easy to win against Empoli.

Mourinho had to make several efforts to get his team's confidence back up after losing 8 points in the first 3 matches, but losing to Verona was really bad for Roma. I believe Roma can win maximum points at home, it is the best opportunity for them.

I doubt if Mourinho can improve the mentality of the squad now. I heard that Mourinho has a bad issue with AS Roma players. How Mourinho can improve the players' mentality if he has a problem with them? I don't what's happening, but Mourinho seems not really comfortable in AS Roma.

Inter have reportedly become frustrated with winger Alexis Sanchez after his decision to fly to South America to team up with Chile during the international break after reports that the 34-year-old has been diagnosed with a form of anaemia.

https://football-italia.net/inter-grow-frustrated-with-sanchez-and-chile-after-anaemia-reports/

I will not expect to see sanchez's debut with intermilan soon. He faces anaemia, and he needs to have done some treatments to recovering his condition. I think that anaemia was not affecting his condition a lot but his condition would not be 100%.
It's very disappointed to see one of good winger get unstable condition when he will be needed by the club. Simeone inzaghi can't wait to see him play in the field but his condition may prevent him to do his debut against acmilan.

The match against milan will become the most important match as acmilan was still leading the table. Inter placed at the second place after acmilan. Sanchez has ever faced the same problem when conte was still a coach.
It's bad news for all of intermilan fans. I had heard that if pulisic was not also in a good condition right now.

The good thing since sanchez can play as LB/LW/CF and it will be easy to replace him. Simeone may still use the same strategy against acmilan.

It seems Alexis Sánchez is not in a good situation in Inter Milan He faced anemia. Alexis Sánchez surely he needs to have treatment to get recover but this 34-year-old player doesn't have too much time in Inter Milan to prove himself. I mean he is old and his contract is just for one year, his teams if he loses some games because of anemia, we can say this transfer was not good for Inter Milan.
