Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Strongkored]

Still not clear the Pogba situation.

The rumor is about a medical drug taken in the USA from an American doctor.

That drug is legal in NA but illegal in Europe.

I think whatever Pogba has done violates the law in Europe and before consuming doping he must have known the risks he would face later. Obviously this adds to the problems in the Juventus dressing room which almost every season has problems and now they have to face another case due to what Pogba has done. After struggling with injuries plus the problem of doping, this player was no longer able to survive in the sport that had made his name. I hope Pogba will immediately stop playing football if proven guilty and not add to the club's problems.

I am actually waiting for an answer from Paul Pogba regarding this case, because usually athletes will give an official statement either clarifying or admitting and apologizing for their actions.
Tennis athletes have also experienced the same thing in a case that occurred quite a long time ago, The athlete admitted that it was the fault of her personal doctor who was still giving her medicines containing substances that were already on the prohibited list, while in the latest case the athlete continued to deny using prohibited medicines and was still applying appeal because she will be banned for 4 years by not playing tennis.
Maybe the rules in tennis and football are different but I really want to hear an explanation from Paul Pogba, whether it was an intentional act or he was not aware of the mistake. It's quite sad to see him experience this, especially Juventus who haven't gotten what they expected from this player.

We shouldn't underestimate both sides, they have what it takes to defeat each other. Inter Milan are home and will host AC Milan this weekend. A tough game to predict the winning team, but I'm just hoping doe solid results from the best team. I'm supporting Inter Milan, giving our my credits to them because they've been really competitive this season and also favorites in the race to win the Scudetto. I'm not going to be surprised if Inter Milan comes out victorious in the Milan Derby match because they have the upper hand in previous games.

Inter Milan is slightly more favored if you look at their three previous meetings and apart from that the match will also be held at the San Siro headquarters. So far, AC Milan has also developed a lot and is one of the teams that has received positive results from several previous matches in Serie A. The chances of winning will be quite difficult for us to predict because both teams are in good form. If you want to bet then considering a draw is also good to avoid losing the bet because it may be difficult to make predictions.

If you look at the chances of winning in the match between these two teams Inter Milan looks superior in every available statistic even in terms of players Inter has better quality players than AC Milan.
Maybe the home game will not have an impact on this match and Simone Inzaghi will also use his greatest players to make AC Milan have difficulty if they want to balance the game but if Simone Inzaghi really uses all the best players he has maybe their performance the for UCL will suffer decrease because mainstay players have been used in Serie A matches.

The Milan derby always brings big surprises and is a very competitive match that will take place. But I am more confident that Inter Milan will emerge as winners with a narrow score because they are superior in many ways. If this scenario doesn't work out then the most likely outcome is a draw, so if you still feel unsure about the first option then the second option is still worth considering betting on.

Well AC Milan is not an opponent that Inter Milan will take lightly, but of course anyone would prefer Inter as the main favorite to win rather than taking a draw I think the goals of both teams are safer to bet on.

Football is different, and there's awareness for every player to know that by now, because an elite player can be performing at high level and still be messing around with crucial rules that have been set in place. It makes no sense in breaking them, because that might be the end of one's pro football career. Juventus are yet to take any drastic action regarding the scenario of Paul Pogba who took a doping drug. It's very humiliating but we just hope everything get better really soon. But on the other hand, Paul Pogba knew the risks involved when he took the drugs, on the verge of facing a long time suspension which would ruled him out of games for a really extensive period.

I think they're going to regret signing him again into their team because he's not create any impact for them yet due to his lengthy injury spells that's kept him out of the squad for a while and they could benefit from his talent and i know Allegri would he so furious about this news because they were expecting his return to help the club improve this season, well I don't think he might continue being Juventus player anymore and they could let him leave the team.
 Well you're right because Neymar is an injury prone player and they still signed him to a Saudi team due to his quality and that might end up being Pogba's fate cause no top European club would sign due to his injury problems, signing him would be like bringing a dead wood into the team, the Saudi club might not benefit from his performance on the pitch but he'll make their team more popular.

Juventus management will make efforts to cover losses when recruiting Pogba back to Turin, the SPL is a suitable prospect to encourage Pogba to continue his career. Moreover, the clubs there are not too concerned about the condition of the players, what is important to them now is the players' big names. It's only natural because they are building an image to make their name increasingly popular in world football.

However, the biggest obstacle now is that Pogba is indicated to be using doping, this is the biggest disaster for him. It is reported that Pogba will undergo a second test, if he is detected using it, Pogba will be banned from playing for up to four years. In at least two years, if I don't do it on purpose, I think Pogba will retire early.

Well, with respect to Pogba, he is a world-class player, the fact that he now knows that he is due to a doping problem, it is something very bad, and when I think about Juve it is like the team that suffered the 7 plagues of Egypt because since last season they have been having a very bad time, because the points were taken away from them, and that is why it made it very easy for Napoli to win, they, no matter how hard they tried, they did not achieve anything, so in this order of ideas it could be said that now the Juve is forced to win or win Serie A because apart from everything they were given a ban that they can only play in Serie A, so I have never agreed on these things about the European Bans, it seems to me that Europe is going to lose more players, Neymar is gone, and Neymar is not just any player, he is one of the best in the world, in fact he surpassed the goals that the great Pelé had already scored, so I would not speak badly of him, because I believe For his age he still has a lot to do, it seems to me that he is at another level, I hope Pogba also goes to Saudi Fútbol.

What Paul Pogba can learn from previous doping cases in Serie A?

Paul Pogba was nearing his return to football from injury just when another setback struck. It was announced by Italy’s National Anti-Doping Tribunal (NADO Italia) on Monday that the French midfielder used a banned substance to boost testosterone levels, a hormone which enhances endurance in athletes.

NADO Italia provisionally suspended Pogba from playing football and now both parties await the results of the counter-analysis or the Sample B test. However, if found guilty, the player could face a suspension of two to four years.  Juventus have also adhered to NADO Italia’s ruling and have suspended the player temporarily.

Now, let us take a look at previous such incidents faced by footballers in the Serie A according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.

So, seeing that we have several things to do, such as thinking about what Pogba will do, what Juve will do, what could we think? First of all, Europe is hitting its players very hard, whatever the club did, that is, its executives, they must punish the executives who own the club football , the players Should not pay for the mistakes they make, that It's like the bans they do in the casinos, they make the people pay when the country's Politicians are enjoying everything, there is no ban for them, so as long as these types of things continue to occur in Europe, they will decline, in In general terms they have said and stated that they are not afraid of Saudi football nor that it will be bigger than European football, I would not say so much, now they have a great infrastructure and they have the most important thing, which is the money to attract the best players, this time they are taking the stars who discarded them from Europe , but Soon they will go for the Young Promises.

[Litzki1990]

I am not 100% sure if Poga actually used doping the way we know because he was already injury. I believe that we are going to end up with more like "some medicine that helps him recover faster" type of thing probably which may not be allowed. After all, streoid were invented to help with injury as well back in the day, which of course turned into some doping after a while but its still helpful for regular people like you and me to get back into health.

I believe that Pogba didn't gained an advantage in his play or something like that with this, I think he just wanted to get better and heal, and used what he has to use to do that. I guess he still did something wrong though and I believe he might be sold after this.

Nobody is sure about him yet, we just know this was confined by the Anti-Doping Agency in Italy which means he can't play for his team until they clear everything. Pogba was injured most of the time and now there is the possibility for him to make another trouble for Juventus. I think the best Juventus can do is to sell this palyer as fast as they can. Pogba can be suspended for a long time if they confirm it completely and this definitely harms his team.
  

Paul Pogba's career is under ban at the moment so if Juventus want to sell Paul Pogba at the moment I don't think they can sell this player because no club wants to waste money buying a banned player. There is still a chance or possibility for Paul Pokba to return to the field as the allegations against him have not been proven yet. The Anti-Doping Agency is working on his allegation and if they can prove it, the player will definitely face a ban. It would be great for Juventus if they could sell this player but I don't think they can sell the player right now. If there is a chance of injury, maybe he could be sold but his chances of being banned are not yet certain. Even if he is banned, for how long he can be banned, so maybe no club will be interested in taking him at the moment.

this is one more problem that Juventus has to face, while several problems that Juventus has been through since last season have been resolved and now there is a new problem regarding doping used by Pogba. Most will not be convinced of this doping use because this is just a rumor that has been exaggerated to complicate Juventus situation and I think that the teams top officials do not need to do anything for this player, I mean Juventus not need to sell this player because if there really is a chance of recovery this is will provide good news because Pogba is a reliable player who can make a good contribution to Juventus in the future.

[yudi09]

The outcome of this match would determine who's more stronger and has a better squad this season, both teams have strengthen their squad with quality players so it's going to be fair enough, In the previous times Inter Milan has been very dominant but this season is going to be a tough one for them because they're facing a very tough Acmilan side as strong as they're what impresses me about this teams is that they can both boost of good attackers making the match a more interesting one.

Points are equal to the number of 3 matches they have played. The number of goals they scored against their opponents during the three matches was also the same. It's just that AC Milan conceded two goals, while Inter Milan's goal has yet to be conceded.
The results of this match only temporarily determine who will lead the standings because they still have a lot of matches to play until half of the 2023/24 season.

Inter Milan's three wins were obtained by beating three teams that were not in their best performance, Monza and Cagliari. Fiorentina is one of the strong teams they beat.
AC Milan beat AS Roma, Torino and Bologna. In my opinion, the team that AC Milan beat was stronger than the team that Inter Milan beat.
In my opinion, the worst scenario for the result of the Milan derby match, Inter Milan vs AC Milan, is only a draw.

[Velvet78]

I'm really curious about Juventus' performance throughout the season. It is a really important season to determine Allegri's future probably as well. Because the previous season was like a nightmare to them and they need to make progress like finishing the season in top four at least. This isn't a thing that is too difficult to achieve for them on paper.

If it weren't for that points deduction previously they were already going to finish ahead of Milan. Now their look in the games is even better so hopefully they can maintain a good form this season. A team like Juventus deserve to be a part of the Champions League now.

Their rightful place is at the top and they are the top team in Serie A who deserve to compete closely for the Scudetto. What happened last season was an internal problem that had an impact on the team's performance.
Let's forget last season and Juventus started this season quite well, but personally I am a little pessimistic after seeing their performance and there are no new recruits in the transfer market, this team doesn't seem serious about developing the team to be even better this season.
But again, it's still early in the season and anything is possible.

Pogba's doping issue looks like Juventus attempt to get rid of him, but the truth of this speculation will end when the next test results come out. I agree more with the statement by the French national team coach Deschamps, that Pogba is suspected of doping due to the use of supplements to speed up injury healing. I think this is very normal, but if it is proven that he deliberately used it then his career in football will end more quickly.

Pogba series of injuries made him unable to consistently contribute to Juventus in his second period. I think it would be better if Pogba left Juventus in the next transfer market, considering that conditions are no longer comfortable for him to continue his career in Turin.

Pogba is a reliable midfielder so he is much needed at Juventus but his career now depends on the outcome of the second drop test. In case the result is positive in the first drop test, the star will be drop tested again to be confirmed. If the result comes positive in the second test too, then this player will definitely face ban. If he is banned for three months or six months, Juventus may not think about his ban, but if he is banned for more than one year, two years or three years, then the club will not want to keep him. If a player cannot play for two to three years, then Juventus will not keep him in the club with a salary. Hopefully, his second drop test will come back negative and he will be back on the pitch wearing a Juventus jersey.

[temple]

I only know that some players tried to explain that it must have been the toothpaste or some other weird coincidence, but did anyone who was popular ever get away with such a story?  

I am not sure anyone has ever gotten away with doping offense without a ban. irrespective of nationality or club status; even almighty rio ferdinand was banned in the 2000s too. Pogba claims it was a doctor prescribed medicine but i am not sure if the anti doping guys will accept any of the excuses. Looks like a retirement soon for Paul Pogba

Yes and even if it is true that the medicine was prescribed, it would never change the fact that the substance is on a list that counts it as inadmissible doping. This excuse or any similar excuse has never helped and the anti doping boards would undermine their effectiveness on all levels if they let any such excuse count and help a player get away with it.

It is a tricky topic though because I have always thought about the possibility (also in tennis) that if someone wants to get rid of a rival, it could be tried to mix forbidden substances into a bottle of water or food or whatever is possible to get that substance injected into someone's body.

But in this case when Pogba already admitted that it was his doctor, he is also not 17 years of age when he could be too naive and just believe what a doctor says. In professional sports every player with that experience would ask the club doctors from the domestic league whether it is ok to take the substance X, Y, or Z.

[JeffBrad12]

Still not clear the Pogba situation.

The rumor is about a medical drug taken in the USA from an American doctor.

That drug is legal in NA but illegal in Europe.

I think whatever Pogba has done violates the law in Europe and before consuming doping he must have known the risks he would face later. Obviously this adds to the problems in the Juventus dressing room which almost every season has problems and now they have to face another case due to what Pogba has done. After struggling with injuries plus the problem of doping, this player was no longer able to survive in the sport that had made his name. I hope Pogba will immediately stop playing football if proven guilty and not add to the club's problems.

If this news that is spreading all over the world about Juventus Player taking drugs before participating in any competition is true, I think it will really make the team to face a lot of things in this season because it will be difficult for them to escape such case in the court of law. I don't think Paul Pogba will regret if he find guilty in this case, because he have made a huge amount of money from his football career that will sustain him through out his life, and it will be difficult for other teams to accommodate him with this abit of drugs. I believe, Juventus can perform well without Paul Pogba in this season because they have took a good step early this season that will make them to go far in this season.

Juventus was doing well last season. People forgot that if juventus is placed at the second place before it has been sanctioned by FGIC. Juventus will play so well without him. Pogba was not contributing a lot to the club. It looks weird to think to call pogba has significant contribution to the club. Pogba was injury prone and he was also linked to the so many problems. Juventus can use the money used to pay him to sign the new midfielder. Pogba was useless in juventus.
The old lady needs to kick him as soon as possible. Pogba was just a burden for the club. His big salary must also be considered as the main reason to kick him out.

[marcous]

Yes and even if it is true that the medicine was prescribed, it would never change the fact that the substance is on a list that counts it as inadmissible doping.

In professional sports every player with that experience would ask the club doctors from the domestic league whether it is ok to take the substance X, Y, or Z.

It is true that the test results showed that Pogba was positive for using doping, whether Pogba was positive for using doping intentionally or not. However, I see many people who support him, and believe that Pogba did not intentionally use doping. I also wish him the best, hopefully the second test result will no longer be positive.

If indeed Pogba deliberately uses it, even with a doctor prescription. So it is certain that his career will end soon, no club will want to recruit him and Juventus will end their partnership with Pogba sooner.

[OcTradism]

Pogba is a reliable midfielder so he is much needed at Juventus but his career now depends on the outcome of the second drop test.

I disagree. A team with Pogba in the midfield is like using a double-edged sword. He is good in attacking but in defense, damn he is very terrible. Not because he can not contribute to defensive activities in the midfield but because his carelessness can cause deadly dangerous attack for his team anytime. We saw it in Manchester United and France teams. Who can forget how Pogba lost a ball in a match with Switzerland and the rest belongs to history.

He is a good attacking midfielder but bad in defense and generally I would say he is unreliable.

In case the result is positive in the first drop test, the star will be drop tested again to be confirmed. If the result comes positive in the second test too, then this player will definitely face ban. If he is banned for three months or six months, Juventus may not think about his ban, but if he is banned for more than one year, two years or three years, then the club will not want to keep him. If a player cannot play for two to three years, then Juventus will not keep him in the club with a salary. Hopefully, his second drop test will come back negative and he will be back on the pitch wearing a Juventus jersey.

The confirmation of doping with a second testing sample will potentially leads to a 2 years or 4 years ban on Pogba. At his age, 4 years out of football will be the end for his career. Even two years ban is already very bad for his career but we have to consider about his body too. Without this doping drama and potential ban, his career looks like to come to an ending already.

[shogun47]

As you said, they both have what it takes to win that game, which I think makes it a very interesting game for sure. I don't think it would turn into a one sided match where one of them takes a lead of two goals or more. I would rather expect a close back and forth between them and both have some great defensive power. AC Milan has quite a high speed attack now and Inter Milan has been very effective with their chances in the last few months. I think almost all outcomes are equally like and it is not really a perfect home game for the home team either given that it is the derby between the two teams.

The statistics of their last 3 meetings Inter have the upper hand as all three have been won by Inter but in this case the biggest score is 2-0 so I agree with what you say where this match will not have a big enough goal difference especially if you see the performance of both teams at the beginning of this season.
Two goals at the most but I'm not sure about that because it could be a narrow win for either club and it could even be a draw.
The odds are quite attractive but looking at the h2h advantage and Inter playing

Yes I remember those games as well but the two games in the Champions League were very unfortunate for AC Milan as they lost Leao right before the game and he was the player who made a massive difference for their game last season. The whole attacking game was on a different level when Leao palyed. They then conceded two very quick goals in the first leg and in the second leg it is as good as it could possibly go for Inter when they play with a two goal advantage. Because they know better than many other teams to play their advantages very strategically and avoid giving the opponent a chance to come back into the game. But this upcoming game is different.

[Jody.Drummer]

But again, it's still early in the season and anything is possible.

Yes, this is inseparable from the sanctions they received last season, overall they actually performed quite well. These sanctions still continue to this day, because they are not allowed to appear in various competitions in Europe. But as you said, let's forget that, let last season be a lesson for them.
This season they performed well with 2 wins and one draw. I think their game is improving and that is a good thing for them in the future. Even though they still have a lot to improve, as time goes by, if they become more confident in themselves, I think they will find their true self again like before.

Losing Leao is not a very big excuse for losing even though it would had given them a better chances of winning but they've won if they performed better,  then losing is based on the fact that Intermilan where a bit better in performance, but those are previous seasons where in a new since and anticipate how the rivaly unfolds this season because both teams are looking better than the previous season and the  outcome might determine who would dominate the league for a while this season
 Alot of people would judge this match based on the previous stats but might end up being shocked by Ac Milan's performance  because they might enď up winning the match it's tough for me to predict the outcome but I won't write off Milan because of their previous stats, they've got better players and have strengthened their squad depth and even performaning very brilliantly currently.

If based on statistics, Inter is very favored, but this time I will not look at it completely because Milan has also made changes to its squad. The Rossoneri also have a great opportunity to pick up points in the Derby della Madonnina match, it is not without reason that Milan's current performance is very impressive and I see that their players are very complete.

Rafael Laeao is really relied on by Pioli. His loss will certainly affect the team's performance slightly, but I am sure Pioli has prepared an alternative to overcome this problem.

This Derby match is certainly very balanced and will definitely be quite an interesting game. It's hard to predict who will be the best but Milan still shouldn't be underestimated.

 Alot of people would judge this match based on the previous stats but might end up being shocked by Ac Milan's performance  because they might enď up winning the match it's tough for me to predict the outcome but I won't write off Milan because of their previous stats, they've got better players and have strengthened their squad depth and even performaning very brilliantly currently.

If based on statistics, Inter is very favored, but this time I will not look at it completely because Milan has also made changes to its squad. The Rossoneri also have a great opportunity to pick up points in the Derby della Madonnina match, it is not without reason that Milan's current performance is very impressive and I see that their players are very complete.

Rafael Laeao is really relied on by Pioli. His loss will certainly affect the team's performance slightly, but I am sure Pioli has prepared an alternative to overcome this problem.

This Derby match is certainly very balanced and will definitely be quite an interesting game. It's hard to predict who will be the best but Milan still shouldn't be underestimated.

I don't think their two matches in the Champions League will be a benchmark. There were both deficiencies and differences in the staff. It is really difficult to say which of the two teams will win this derby. If the side that starts the match well can score a goal, there is a possibility that it will be a match without many positions as they will try to maintain this score in the match. The opposite could also happen and if both teams play open football and attack a lot, this time it could be a match with lots of goals.

When we look at the potential of the two teams, it will be a difficult match to predict. It may be best to consider live betting. It may be better to make a prediction based on the course of the match.
