Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Unknown Op]

One should not expect too much from Lukaku. I don't think Lukaku can score more than 10-15 goals in a season in Serie A.  But if he adapts well to Mourinho's match strategy, maybe we will see a better performance from Lukaku. But it is less likely. But I think Mourinho should not put too much expectation on Lukaku. Mourinho is well aware of the capabilities of the players in his squad.

Roma will be looking to win the Europa League title this season. The team played very well in the last season as well. Roma have the potential and ability to do well in the Europa League if Mourinho can stabilize the squad, strengthen the bonds between the players.

Romelu Lukaku loan move to AS Roma has undoubtedly given the team a boost, as shown by his most recent goal against FC Sheriff in the Europa League. Although Roma chances in both Serie A and the Europa League are improved by his arrival it is true that sustaining a steady level of play will be essential. Strong teams especially those relegated from the Champions League, compete fiercely in the Europa League. Unquestionably having an impact Lukaku might score 10 goals or more in Serie A this year. Returning to his top level though is still difficult. It will be wonderful to follow Roma trip to the Europa League final but there is a long way to go.

new shiny day bettorz this is a one of my bet

US Sassuolo Calcio - Juventus FC 2023-09-23 18:00
For me Juventus FC win the game because US Sassuolo Calcio is under pressure with big team (Inter,Juventus,Napoli) and Juventus FC is playing in good moment, is at the top of Serie A and need to stay on top

Probably i think right its just my opinion, but is a easy easy game to guess in my opinion

statistics: prev year/this year
Sassuolo

corner: 177 assist t: 30 assist v: 30 cross t: 459 cross v: 217 goal f: 47 goal s: 61 V: 12 P: 9 S: 17
corner: 27 assist t: 4 assist v: 4 cross t: 37 cross v: 17 goal f: 5 goal s: 9 V: 1 P: 0 S: 3

Juventus

No big games this week

Some matches that I think are quite interesting and can even be a place to place bets are Milan vs Verona, Sassuolo vs Juventus and Empoli vs Inter, however the three leading teams in each of these matches are quite consistent teams so far in Serie A and I am sure that all three will win the match again this week. Moreover, opponents from Milan, Juventus and Milan are not that dangerous, but even so, they should not be underestimated. The current competition in the standings is also led by these three teams and seeing that the distance is only a few points apart, this will be an important week for the three to exchange positions or even stay put if everyone wins again.

you need to add Bologna vs Napoli in the betting slip. IMO
I am sure some still think that Napoli is still unstable with the quality of their players performance. In fact, we almost rarely talk about Osimhen at the moment, just because Osimhen quality of talent has slightly decreased, but for me, we can take advantage of this match betting on a draw or Napoli. looking at the history of the two teams facing each other when Bologna was the host, the advantage became a draw, there was still a chance, but if it was possible for Napoli to be the host, it was clear that Napoli would win. and on the one hand, Bologna is currently not very strong, its just that the defense line is very strong but the attack line is weak.
different from Napoli in the attack line they still have Osimhen but in defense Napoli is a little unstable sometimes they can be stronger but I still add this match to my betting slip.

i was wondering about napoli too, but kvara really underperforming right now , i hope he doesnt just a 1 season wonder player . Draw no bet would be safest option right now

Lukaku is a player who is quite adaptable. He can be paired with Dybala or El Syaarawy. Dybala is very easily injured and Mourinho still has the option of Belotti up front. and I don't think Lukaku has a problem with who he should work with.
Roma and Mourinho's current problem is inconsistent performances. That also happened last season although they ended up finishing in 6th position. and were also quite successful in the Europa League. and this season Roma's conditions may not be much different.

Bologna 17:00 Napoli 

I think Napoli is the game for me this weekend; its been a quiet week for Victor Osinhem who struggled in front of goal against Genoa and Braga in the last 2 games for Napoli; but still managed to have a good performance. Will he break the 2 games goal draught this weekend? i am looking forward to seeing that happen!!

With Napoli having a struggling start to the season alonsgide Bologna; the game is a statement tie which Napoli has to win. What do you predict?

Victor Osimhen was in a good form during the international break and even scored a hat-trick for his country, but i don't know why he's struggling to score now he's back, he needs to work hard and recover his form cause he's one of the players fans would be looking out for and the teams success depends on his good performance as well, it hope be breaks the goal draught and score a brace against Bologna on sunday.

 I expect them to win the match cause they're playing against a weaker side, therefore are the favorites to win, as the defending champions of the league matches against smaller teams shouldn't be tough for them and if they fail to win on sunday it means that Rudi Garcia is not the suitable manager for the club and they better get a suitable manager that would match Spalletti's standard before it's too late, but anyways i trust Napoli to win Bologna on sunday.

[Ayers]

Lecce stands a better chance of winning in the game between them and Genoa, as Lecce is at home and already have good records so far in their league games while Genoa has suffered certain losses in the league, they lost two games, won two and lost one game I total since the league began and it's more like they didn't start on a good note enough.

Lecce remain unbeaten and they have won all their home games. Baschirotto will not be playing as he has got a red card from the last game but then Lecce could still perform without him, I doubt if his absence will be much of a set back to Lecce as there are others who can stand in his stead till he is back, so it's not an advantage for Genoa enough to help them in this game.

Possible it will be a 2-1 win in favour of Lecce as Genoa has gat two players who will be absent due to injuries so they may not be in the best of their for but the may be likely defensive to avoid conceding goals, they may aswell be lucky to get a goal that is if they are giving the opportunity by Lecce as neither Lecce is willing to give to chances such opportunity.

The injury problem is definitely going to be big for Genoa. if all the players were available for them, I think I could have said that this match is going to end in a draw. But honestly, even if they had all the players available, it would have been very hard for them to actually get anything from this match. With them, not having all the players available, going into this match, This is actually going to be a win for Lecce in my opinion. Genoa will still surely try to put on a fight.

Lecce is certainly not a team that finishes in the top 10. At least in the last season, they finished very close to the relegation zone. But they are going against a team that just got promoted. So I don't think there should have too many problems.

This will not be an easy match for Napoli, although Bologna as a whole is not stronger than them but this club cannot be underestimated, especially this will be their home match. Talking about Osimhen further, he is still playing well but he is still struggling to score goals. Maybe for several reasons, the first is that he is a player who is closely guarded by the opposing defender, and also his style of play can be read by the opponent. I'm not going to say whether he can score or not in a match, but in every match the opportunity to score goals is always there.

[hahay]

Mourinho is a great and famous coach and he is the coach to win the Champions League with Porto while they didn't have many famous and superstar players in their team.
That's why it's normal for people to expect much more from this coach, I was thinking Roma could get a much better place on the table in the last season.

José Mourinho is here to lift significant titles but winning the UEFA Champions League would be difficult because they're still at the transforming stage, not initially settled. José working on his squad, preparing them for what's yet to come, making more potential signings that will boosts his squad performance, always striving for better results for his team. They're in the Europa League Group H and currently ranked second in the group. It would be a long run for the competitive race. José Mourinho is here to transform AS Roma into competitive elite club in Seria A. They're favorite to compete in the race for the Scudetto this season after a thrilling win of 7 nil against Empoli.

With Mourinho great history with Porto, Chelsea and also Inter in the past, so it became Mourinho get the nickname like the special one. But unfortunately, Mourinho ability is no longer the same as in the past, because when Mourinho returned to coach Chelsea then Manchester United also the fact that Mourinho did not have good results at that time. So yes, even though Mourinho has a great history but that does not mean Mourinho will easily improve AS Roma. Therefore, I personally no longer hope too much to Mourinho because yeah, at this moment at least Mourinho abilities are different. So of course, because maybe his slightly decreased ability, then makes Mourinho still very difficult to improve AS Roma even if only to get Scudetto in Serie A.

@hahay a lot had changed by the time he came back and all big team’s were spending big money to compete hence he didn’t find much success back then but now with Roma he’s building something really special and if he survives for two more seasons then he’ll definitely lead Roma to a champions league semis at least. Lastly he’s already got a crazy partnership of Dybala and Lukaku in place and if the owner’s further back him then he’ll definitely improve this Roma side into genuine title contenders.

Lecce is certainly not a team that finishes in the top 10. At least in the last season, they finished very close to the relegation zone. But they are going against a team that just got promoted. So I don't think there should have too many problems.

Definitely I don't expect lecce having much of a problem with this game as they still stand better chance, one of which is the injury Genoa is suffering at the moment, it is possible they would want to fight but definitely they will not win the fight as they don't have what it take not especially at this moment when they are suffering Several injuries with their players.

Genoa just got promoted and it's another point to consider that they will definitely be at the phase of trying to grow and get acquainted with been in the main league. Although they are playing with a team that haven't really been at the top but they at this time not want to give to chances to any loss so they are mostly likely not with the team to help them feel the league.

Lecce should just go get the game, dominate and win, that's my anticipation and ofcos wether they win or not they stand to be my favorite for this game and am sure they are for some if not many other out there, they need the win much more than Genoa really do. Anyways regardless of my prediction and my choice of one of the both I'm still going to keep an open mind and enjoy the game

Yes, Lecce will probably win this match, but I find it strange that the odds on them winning are 2,5... The bookies don't think it will be easy for Lecce... By the way it is interesting that Lecce won only twice, when Genoa won 12 times in head-to-head... So I think that in this game Lecce will not lose... It's a better bet...

No big games this week

The game between Verona and AC Milan is very important for AC Milan because they have to get good results from this game and after the game, they had against Inter Milan, I'm sure if they lose points in this game the whole team will be under pressure. Maybe that's why the rate for AC Milan is 1.40 and think as someone who takes risks, maybe betting on Verona is not bad because AC Milan is not in good form.

[LUCKMCFLY]

And in the UCL match against Newcastle, I actually saw AC Milan still playing quite well. It's just that the sharpness of AC Milan's attack line has indeed decreased. Or maybe it happened as a result of Newcastle's strong defense. In essence, I don't see any serious problems occurring with the AC Milan squad. And I'm sure AC Milan will still be in the race for the title in Serie A.

The loss to inter Milan by AC Milan did affected their mentality as it was a huge one which could not be allowed to slide, it did played out in their style of play suggesting they are yet to fully recover from it, I think like you rightly said a win to boost their mentality is very much needed, as it will really go a long way to improve their performance in subsequent games , this is what the coach should note.

In the UCL game they had a good opponent so I wasn't expecting much considering that they are also seen as an average team in their league. UCL is a league which should be approached with a different style as you encounter people from different leagues where they are said to be champions and they also put out only their best of which if you approach with a regular style of play it may not be rewarding.

Newcastle has not been in the UCL for a long period of time so I don't expect them to mess things up, they obviously want to make the best use of this privilege after over a decade of been absent in the league, but then AC Milan didn't put up a really bad performance at the UCL opening, I am very optimistic they might perform better in their subsequent UCL games.

Milan is a very good team, they have everything to be the winners of Serie A, they can do things that other teams cannot, so one of the things I like the most is that they played against a purely defensive team like Newcastle. , and that is something that caught my attention because this team has a lot to offer, Mlan is Italian, and the Italians are very monsters at defending, if they had an attack similar to that of any team in Brazil, wow I think they would be unstoppable and They were an invincible team, that's why I think that if they work a little more in the midfield upwards, things can be done better, just like they did with Newcastle, so in this circle of ideas, not only Milan is improving a lot, We cannot forget that Roma has also made a great turnaround, something that could not be demonstrated in Serie A. Of all the teams, I see these two as very strong, and the moment I read Roma goes on a streak it will be very difficult to pass About them, for me the arrival of Lukaku apart from helping Yuun Dybala a lot who has been very lonely, it has a great impact because when things are about contributing, that's why Lukaku is there and Mou has it clear, it's a A person who still has a lot to give, and has not decided to leave Roma because he knows that they can achieve great things.

In another order of ideas, the Italian teams are at a very good level, the only team that I see that is bad and that is low in morale is Juve, which has been suffering a lot of punishments since last season, because it is like they were getting everything very bad, as if their luck had run out, so when we are seeing this type of things, the teams in Serie A are at a very high level, there is Inter, they reached a final, because I don't know how They didn't win it, they lacked forward play, I think those things are the reasons why we must see that every Italian team fails in their forward play, that's what they lack.

Callum Wilson issues emotional message after Newcastle United Champions League debut at AC Milan

Just over a decade ago, Wilson was playing non-league football on loan at Kettering Town and Tamworth but has since progressed into a proven Premier League goalscorer, England World Cup international and now a Champions League player.

In my opinion, it's actually the opposite because I don't mean to belittle Napoli, who won the Scudetto last season, but their opponent is Bologna, which can sometimes make the match more difficult than it should be. To be honest I'm pretty sure Napoli will win but in the back of my mind there are some signs of doubt regarding the result and although the double chance Draw/Napoli bet is still quite safe I wouldn't bet on this match. Maybe some of the factors you mentioned earlier could be one of the reasons for me not betting on this match, but despite all that I still hope Napoli can secure full points.

Napoli this season is quite doubtful, their new coach still hasn't been able to develop a good strategy for the team. In the previous season Napoli performance was very good, but Bologna managed to defend very well at home and ended in a draw result. This season, Bologna was also able to defend very well against Juventus previously, by considering the recent records of both teams, indeed that match will be a difficult match for Napoli to get full points.

[Unknown Op]

I can agree with that. Even Napoli struggled against Braga and found the winning goal in the last minutes. Milan could have won against Newcastle actually but they wasted too many goal opportunities. Especially in the first half the score would have been a huge one already. It was an unlucky day for Milan.

Lazio really saved an important point there by a special goal in the last moments. I would have never expected their goalkeeper to score a goal there.    This must be a good result for Lazio considering how tough their opponent was.

Given Empoli disastrous start to the season where they failed to earn any points and allowed an astounding 12 goals while also failing to score any goals themselves, the decision to fire manager Paolo Zanetti looks justifiable. Indeed they are off to the worst possible start and their first priority should be to avoid relegation. Inter contrasted their recent Champions League difficulties against Real Sociedad with their faultless Serie A performance. Unlike the majority of Italian teams in this round they barely managed to salvage a tie Napoli was the exception taking victory in the dying seconds. Milan tie with Newcastle makes their group more intriguing, and even Lazio custodian managed to hold his team to a draw with a spectacular header on the road.

Lecce should go into this match being very confident. They should know that their opponent is not a strong one. One thing they have done very well, so far in this season is that they have not lost a single match. I think after the next match against Genoa, it is going to stay that way.

Genoa should look to get one point from this match. That is going to be the most realistic approach for them I believe. Because if they want to go for a win in this match, they might actually leave some holes in the defense. Of course, I am not saying that they should not even try to go forward. But they should understand that they are opponent is actually stronger compared to them. So the best approach is going to be to try to get only one point from this match. And if somehow they are able to be the one to break the deadlock they should try to defend properly.

We can't expect something good to come out of him. I meant napoli was taking wrong decision to recruit him as a new appointment for the club. Rudi was not a good coach. he has been sacked by al nassr due to the his incapability in managing the club properly.
It really weirds to see that how napoli has chosen him as a new coach. I think that napoli will stuck in the same place. Rudi only had good experience with roma and it has been a very long time since he was almost helping roma to get scudetto but he failed.
Bologna considerably as one of strong team in serie a. This club full of surprises. Napoli must win the game if the club wanna keep in the right track for the title race.
Im very concerned on how garcia will solve the problem for inconsistently on its defenders. Im doubting if napoli will have won this game.

[Leviathan.007]

Alex Sandro proved that he is a good and effective defender in Juventus and this player played 90 minutes for Juventus in the first two weeks games and he was not played in the game against Lazio and Empoli.
But we can't ignore his effective role in this team.
Juventus said Alex Sandro got a hamstring injury which can be dangerous for a palyer at this age.
