Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Davian144]

To me this is not about favoritism, Inter Milan is the team that has the upperhand in the milan derbies in the past few years. Last season; Inter Milan knocked out AC Milan from the champions league to reach the finals. I think same in the coppa italia too. I expect the same tomorrow; an Inter Milan victory this weekend.

That's true from their last few meetings, but I would hope that something very different could happen this weekend. Moreover, both of them are also at the top of the standings so there is a possibility that the match will be fierce enough to be able to get full points to strengthen themselves at the top of the standings. I hope AC Milan can give a better surprise in this derby match so that they can have greater enthusiasm when competing in the UCL in the near future.

Yes, there are at least several possibilities regarding whether Pogba consciously used doping or not. Because here at Juventus Pogba is undergoing long treatment due to the injury he suffered, so it is very possible that this happened because of a doctor's prescription. At least, maybe they will also understand this case better, because I think Pogba career is no longer good, because of the long injury he suffered. Moreover, at this moment Pogba is caught in a doping case which of course, will make the situation even worse.

If you believe Pogba's words, he says that he used a nutritional supplement that he did not agree with his doctor, and says that he purchased this supplement in the USA. Pogba is not doing very well, first with injuries, then this story, he is simply losing the best years of his career. If re-analysis reveals prohibited substances, Juventus can terminate his contract. I think that a professional player had no right to take anything without the knowledge of the team doctor, this is most likely also stated in the contract.

It will be difficult for Juventus to sell Pogba because many clubs already know about rumors of Pogba using doping, but it has not been confirmed positive, however, when Pogba joined Juventus he was often caught in a number of problems, especially at that time he suffered an injury which caused him to miss several important matches. Pogba is currently experiencing bad luck and if at this time he is really positive for doping he will be threatened with a 4 year suspension and that is quite a long time considering that Pogba is currently 30 years old, I cannot confirm whether his contract with Juventus will be terminated or stop Playing football.

It will be very difficult to sell Pogba. About two months ago Juventus wanted to sell him. It was rumored that the Saudi team Al-Hilal was interested in Pogba and were willing to offer him a substantial contract of over 100 million euros for three years. With the him failing the doping test, I don't know if that would still be possible. Juventus may even sell him for as little as 10 million euros. Personally, I don't want this to be the end of him. I wish that there was some way that he could bounce back from these adversities if the football body doesn't give him a ban.

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.

There are situations where two big clubs face each other and it means more than just three points as well. I understand that the winner will get just three points, but the morale is very important and when you beat a team like genoa, it is not as same as when you beat Inter or Milan.

This game I am sensing that Milan will be playing much harder, why? Because last season Milan lost to Inter at the UCL and that meant Inter got a bit more money, sure they lost at the finals as well but they played very well and nearly got the win as well, Milan would be feeling terrible about it I am sure. This means that they are going to play with more desire and that could result with them getting the win this game around as well.

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.

It's a shame that Pogba is a good player even though his performance has declined due to the problems he is facing. Maybe he often experiences injuries due to side effects on his body or conversely he takes healing medicine so he accidentally takes too much medicine and is declared positive for doping. But whatever it is, we have to wait for the results of the second test, hopefully he will be fine.

Paul Pogba's football career will most likely end assuming he is banned from football for 2 or 4 years. He has endured tough times both on and off the pitch, but recent doping tests and news of a possible ban means he is likely to end his football career. Because, it is impossible that after his sentence is over, he will still be a great player as he gets older.

Complicated problem face by Juventus with  Paul Pogba, after getting injury last match and possibilities will absent for several matches later and right now have rumor about doping although not confirmed yet true or not. Paul Pogba have less contribution for Juventus after long time injury and likely will the same in this season not only with injury but also doping cases are waiting for him and potential will absent and get suspend until one season. Current with Manchester United goal keeper Andre Onana ever got doping cases when playing for Ajax Amsterdam and he only absent for one year, I don't sure if case doping is true will make Pogba have absent until four year and likely will the same suspend get like Andre Onana absent and can't playing football until one season later.

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.

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.

But in this case, intentionally or not, he will still get the impact of what is happening now and Pogba must be prepared with all the worst possibilities now, especially if he is proven to have intentionally used testosterone which is prohibited in sports, the possibility of sanctions is up to 4 years if you see the news now.
This really makes Pogba's career destroyed in football because I am sure if there is a long enough sanction for Pogba it is the same as the end of him in football.

But I don't know what Juventus feel for this whether they are experiencing bad luck or luck because if you look at the conditions now with the loss of Pogba in the squad it actually makes them happy because the high salary burden for Pogba is indirectly lost. and if you look at Juventus' current financial situation they actually benefited from Pogba's problems.

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.

Actually, if we look simply at the upcoming match, it is very clear that Inter Milan will win tomorrow match, even though AC milan is currently in a very strong condition but will not be able to beat Inter when playing away from home, which gives a greater winning percentage against Inter milan and on the one hand we have to be able to accept the fact that in terms of player performance these two clubs have differences and are still superior to Inter players.
This has been seen since last season when Inter was able to qualify for final round even though they lost, but this is proof that Inter Milan has stronger performance than AC Milan.
And of course there are always surprises and this will be match that is very difficult to predict.

If Pogba has been confirmed positive, Juventus will easily sell him if there is a worthy offer for him. Juventus must consider to sell him because they can earn some money. If Juventus fired him, Juventus will get nothing. I'm very sure that Juventus won't have the intention to keep a player who has a problem with doping. Moreover, Pogba is getting often to get injured, he only sat on the bench. So, there is no advantage for Juventus to keep him on the squad.

By the way, it is still a rumor, there is no official statement from the club about this. There is still no confirmation whether Pogba used doping positively. So, we are better to wait for the further news.

I hope he gets cleared. Otherwise, if the positive test is confirmed, he will have to face the national anti-doping tribunal. If he is found guilty, he could be disqualified for two to four years. His injuries have already taken a toll on him, and now this could be a significant setback for the talented Paul Pogba.

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.

Under Allegri direction, Juventus is attempting to get past the nightmare of the previous season. Even more so now that the points deduction has been eliminated their recent results appear promising. The team should be vying for the Scudetto and belongs among the Champions League contenders. Although their performance was affected by internal problems the previous season this new season started off optimistic. However, the absence of notable transfers raises questions about their dedication to development. But it is still early, and in football unexpected things frequently happen.

There is a distinct advantage to not having European fixtures, as this gives them more time to rest unlike other clubs who will have more hectic schedules and of course that affects the fatigue of the players which may also have an impact on their performances. Juventus must see this as their advantage this season, so they can be more motivated to win the Scudetto again this season. And I think they have a good chance of realizing that. But it's still too early, I want to see what their improvement in the future will be like.

I don't know for sure how true the rumor is, but citing one piece of information from transfermarkt, it seems to be true.

After failed doping test - Juventus star Paul Pogba suspended

Of course Pogba still has some time to make a reply analysis based on this source, but the consequences that Pogba will have to accept if proven guilty could send him into retirement. The penalty is 2-4 years of suspension, but before that is decided Pogba must prove that the accusation can be refuted.

[hahay]

The opening match of the weekend will be presented with big matches including Juventus against Laizo and Inter against Milan. Of course, this is a very interesting opening match I think, and I will not miss this good moment to bet too. Regarding predictions for the match between Juventus against Lazio, I personally will probably still choose Juventus to win. Because yes, after all in this season I am quite optimistic for Juventus to compete well in the upper zone in the Serie A standings. Therefore, then I am sure in this match Juventus will win, because at the same time Juventus also play at home and also, it seems that at this moment Lazio still does not have a big chance to be able to play well like last season.

Yes, of course it will be quite interesting looking forward to this big match, the result of the match will definitely be a change in the standings, especially in terms of the battle for the top of the standings. Meanwhile, Lazio is in need of additional points to improve its ranking.

I am more focused on the Inter and Milan match, the Derby match will always attract the attention of football fans around the world. According to several predictions, the Nerazzurri are the favorites, but for me Milan cannot be taken lightly because this season several changes have been made by the Rossoneri management. The arrival of several new players such as Pulisic and Loftus Cheek has made an extraordinary contribution. I see Pioli's squad this season as very convincing, but if they are able to maintain their performance then three points will be the capital for them to take the top spot.

Of course, Juventus doesn't want to keep a player who doesn't make any contribution to the squad, even if it is confirmed that he is negative, Juventus will sell him because his injury has recurred and he will automatically spend time on the bench.

If we can look back, Pogba's career has really plummeted since 2019. He was a World Cup champion and one of the best players in England. However, because he was hit by stagnant development, endless injuries, family problems, and now a doping problem. It makes me think a professional athlete's career won't last forever, hopefully he saves his money and invests it well too. Life goes on.

[coinlocket$]

If Pogba has been confirmed positive,

If Pogba will be confirmed positive, Juventus will have 2 solutions.

Deleting his contract without any loss, or keep the player without paying his salary for the duration of his contract/suspesion.

[Distraction]

The opening match on this week is Juventus - Lazio. Technically Juventus are the favourite side to win this one. But Lazio can be a really unpredictable team. You have seen what they did to Napoli recently. Despite their starting badly to the season by point losses against smaller teams they still managed to defeat Napoli away.

This will be a huge boost to the morale of Lazio players surely. But will they maintain the same effort against Juventus?

I'm not sure about that. Because plain logic doesn't work every time. Napoli can be a stronger team than Juventus on paper but I still believe Juventus are a team that can bigger difficulties for Lazio these days compared to Napoli - considering the recent head-to-heads between them. Therefore I believe Juventus will win this.

[giammangiato]

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

I must admit that at the moment, between the two, the favorite is definitely Inter Milan.
Milan have undergone a sort of negative transformation and are still searching for themselves, while Inter have reached the Champions League final, so there must be something positive.
I bet on Inter to win.

Paul Pogba's football career will most likely end assuming he is banned from football for 2 or 4 years. He has endured tough times both on and off the pitch, but recent doping tests and news of a possible ban means he is likely to end his football career. Because, it is impossible that after his sentence is over, he will still be a great player as he gets older.

His career is compromised. In addition to the fact that he will be disqualified for a long time, precisely as you say from two to four years, there is also the emotional component. Which team wants this player? The fans will be against having someone who cheats with doping, this must always be remembered.
So he really downgraded his career a lot because of this nonsense.

These are mistakes that are often made because players are unable to keep up and remain competitive, but the solution is not doping. Doping = end of career
