Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[len01]

You're right, last season Inter where more focused on competing for the Champions League title and they almost achieved it but got beaten by Manchester City in the final, I believe they've channelled that same energy to the league this season and with their performance you'll know they're very serious in winning the league, they even beat Milan 5-1 to tell how strong they're this season, to me they're the strongest and most likely to win the league.

  Napoli so far are having a slow start this season they're not really playing according to the fans expectations and have given Inter enough chance to gap them in the table,when Rudi Garcia came in I wasn't really convinced he was the rightful person to lead Napoli to victory again, i think I was right after all because they're not playing like title defenders, well the league is still fresh, let's see if he'll be able to clear the doubts about him.

to be precise, this season seems to be a more convincing season for Inter Milan with a very great sense of enthusiasm and self confidence after reaching the final round in the UCL even though they failed, but from this failure, Inter Milan felt confident that reaching the final and getting the title was very easy because of their experience. It is very important to provide strategy and know your opponent weaknesses in the final. but there is also a difference this season when Inter Milan must be consistent in getting 2 titles to get the Scudetto and the UCL title and this will be a little more difficult to do and definitely requires a solid team strength to continue working together to build victory in every match.

for Napoli at the moment I can not say anything, in fact there is a little doubt that it looks like Napoli will experience a slight decline in performance in several matches because for me every time I see Osimhen performance as Napoli mainstay player, it is a little less than optimal in several matches and even has difficulty scoring. so if Napoli still appear inconsistent, I am sure they will probably be unable to compete with Inter in Serie A.

Considering how AC Milan dominated in the match with Dortmund and created many opportunities in middle of the week, Verona looks like not to be an opponent that can constrain attacking power of AC Milan. They will even face with bigger pressure from AC Milan as the host actually need three points after some bad matches in Serie A. AC Milan players hopefully learned something from their inaccurate shots in Champions League match with Dortmund.

Playing a Champions League match and a league match are different things. When they play the Champions League, they prepare for that match with full concentration, they care more about that match. Because only 6 matches are played there in the group stage and there is no compensation for the mistakes made. In league matches, there is compensation for mistakes, they play 38 matches throughout the season. Lost points can be compensated.
Since they put in a lot of effort in the CL match, they may come into this match tired, rotate too much, and not be able to focus much. Although Hellas Verona is not a team of Milan's quality, they will play to get points knowing these. Milan needs to pay attention and care about the match. Otherwise, it's difficult for them to win.

I disagree with what you said about the 38 matches with compensation. A team can't rule out competition even with a huge number of matches each season. If they think that, then they will never progress.
It may be true at first glance, but if we look further, it is a mistake that should be avoided. It's also worth remembering that they're in the Champions League because of the competition in the domestic league, in this case Serie A. If they think they are compensating for the mistakes they made in the domestic league with a large number of matches it is a mistake they are making,

I agree 100% with what you said. This idea that players can accelerate and decelerate their performance from game to game with a snap of the fingers is bullshit. The best teams are the teams that play with 110% concentration every single game. There is a difference between concentration and intensity. They might reduce intensity when it is possible in order to give their body less of a burden during a game that they are controlling by a large margin, but playing some games on high concentration and some on lower concentration isn't a thing that works. Manchester City is on full steam 99% of the games. AC Milan is a top team that wants to win every single game no matter what the competition is. It is true that there are more prestigious games in the Champions League in terms of the quality of the teams participating, but the players want to win the Serie A with no less desire.

Tonight game should be a game changer for Lazio as they are playing at home against Monza.The odd of 1.76 for Lazio is really inviting despite their bad results Monza has been having even worse results than them and especially when playing away Monza is in really bad shape.

Lazio did beat Napoli the reigning Champions but except that they have 3 lost games in 4 played in total and in the standings are behind Monza yet I think they will win the game of tonight as it is an absolute must for them to win against a weaker opponent and not repeat the same mistake they did against Genoa where they lost at home.

[piebeyb]

They don't actually need to score many goals to beat Verona because opponent does not have good attacking ability. So one or two goals are enough for AC Milan to secure three points from Verona. I guess a best scoring goal for AC Milan from this match at home is 3 goals, not more but I don't see Verona will get one point from AC Milan at San Siro stadium.

The defeat against Intermilan yesterday should be an evaluation for Milan to perform better tonight against Verona, I also think they will get three points in this match considering their target is to chase the Italian league title this season, of course Milan must remain consistent on the winning path and be in at the top of the standings, Verona has only suffered one defeat and so has Milan, I think both of them will definitely play well tonight.

Playing at home, of course, Milan gets more advantages and is also a favorite in the sports betting market because playing in front of its fans, of course they don't want to mess up and disappoint again after the previous week's defeat against Intermilan, my prediction is that Milan will win 2 - 0 against Verona, whose match will start in a few moments.

@LGD2Business I don’t think they should take this match lightly. I think they should try to get three points from this match. Because Verona is actually not the type of opponent that is at the same level of Milan. They should really look to get maximum results from this match because they need to stay at the top of the table.

And the thing is you know they have lost the last match. So they will try to win this match for sure. I think it is actually Verona who is going to be under pressure in this match.  Verona has not played well in the last two matches. So the confidence is definitely not going to be very good.

AC Milan was having perfect campaign in the Italian Serie A before their last game against their city rivals Inter Milan of which they lost that game which also became their first defeat in the league this season. Inter Milan is a big club with quality football players and that's why I think AC Milan's defeat in their hands was excusable.
Against Verona, I expect the Milan club to win that game comfortably. Verona I know wouldn't want to be easily beaten and would also want to take something from that game or even win the match but with the current form of AC Milan, it'll be very difficult to deny them a win in that game.

[hahay]

Lecce are unstoppable and they achieved their third win in the last 5 matches which makes them secure 2nd place for now with 11 points. Lecce just beat Genoa with a narrow score of 1-0 and even though this was a fairly even match, I feel Lecce have full capital to stay in Serie A this season and maybe they will become a new challenger in the mid-table if they continue to get good results. Moreover, Lecce has not been defeated so far and this can continue to give its players confidence to continue to be consistent in the next match. Lecce have had a good start for a weak team in Serie A and I can't wait to see if they come up with another surprise in the future.

This match was quite even and Lecce was a little lucky because one of the Genoa players received a red card in the middle of the first half, which allowed Lecce's game to develop further.
However, overall it must be admitted that Lecce's performance at the start of this season was quite surprising to many people, no one expected them to be as consistent and strong as at the start of this season even though last season they were a bottom team.

It took more effort for Lecce, because Lecce playing at home against Genoa who only played with 10 players from the first half. But that factor still not easy for Lecce to score a goal in the match, because the goal just scored in the 83rd minute and Lecce was only able to score one goal this match. With a record like that, of course as time goes by Lecce will slowly fall and maybe only end up in the middle of the standings later. But indeed, if we consider Lecce only at this moment then it is clear, at least Lecce managed to start this season very well and it's still very good achievment for Lecce.

They got destroyed by Inter in their last match and where shown who was boss ov the city, I didn't expect the score to end that way because Milan where doing fine before they played against Inter, its was so embarrassing for them to the point that the match became a caricature and Milan were looking very lost on the pitch, Giroud, Pulisic and the rest top class players in the team couldn't to much to save their team of the embarrassement they had, if not for Rafael Leao that score a consolation goal for them.
 
 But I think they'll do better against Verona who's a smaller team cause they're already leading by 1 goal before 20 mins of the game and i think there would be more goals from Milan before the 1st half ends, Verona doesn't stand any chances against Milan so I'm not expecting any goal from them in this match, Milan are  more dominant in the match and i think Rafael Leao might score another goal like he score the opener.

[Jody.Drummer]

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.

Of course, Napoli shouldn't underestimate Bologna because this team has quite good defense. They could make a difficulty for Juventus, Juventus only got a draw result against Bologna at home. But we must remember that AC Milan defeated Bologna, it was away match for AC Milan. So, Bologna actually isn't a very tough team, they are small team only. If Napoli can play with their best, I have no doubt that Napoli can win the match and get 3 points. Moreover, if Osimhen can show his motivation to be the candidate of Serie A top scorer. I believe Osimhen will play aggressively because he needs some goals to compete for the top scorer this season.

The draw at home to Juventus proved that they are a club that can be a threat to the big clubs that face them. While we know Juventus this season is plying well and they are a club that has not been touched by defeat this season. Napoli must be able to take advantage of every gap that Bolona has. We know some of Bologna's weaknesses, but they have also shown a strong defense so far. So it's a job for them to find space to launch their attacks. Their midfelders must be creative in seeing the situation, and also the forwards must be able to find empty spaces to be able to create opportunities for goals.

In the eighth minute AC Milan had won 1-0. Really they will win this match against Hellas Verona easily. Of course AC Milan must play openly and their possession of the ball must not be reduced as is currently going on for up to 25 minutes.
If AC Milan manages to double the score at least in this first half, there will be a chance to get full points. Of course, don't give Hellas Verona control of the game even though they keep trying to score goals.

[bastisisca]

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.

let?s say it has its own qualities that are not seen at first glance by anyone
Many focus on his bad temper, and that?s what she wants
only a fool would stop at that, he does it on purpose to distract from what he does and protect the team!
is a smart guy, not a dumb one.

Napoli is really struggling this time, I'm not having much hope on Napoli.  When Napoli used to be in good form Bologna is a team Napoli will easily win but this time I don't trust Napoli strength based on their performance of their previous games, even Victor Osimhen who is known to be a goal scoring machine finds it very difficult to score goals now. From the performance of Napoli right now Bologna have chances of winning the game that will be played in their own home.

Right now, we are in 80th minute with AC Milan is still leading by 1 - 0 and Verona is doing their best for having something positive from this match, but things are not favouring them in second half they are mounting good pressure on AC Milan but still things are not into their control for having a goal which bring them to the level after humiliating defeat against Inter Milan and having another poor performance against Newcastle Untied in Champions League AC Milan is trying their best for keeping their third spot into league table.

If they are not able to keep things on better level in this match then surely they can lose their spot and moral as well which could be big disaster for them in coming weeks and for the title race as well against Inter Milan and Juventus.

Their midfelders must be creative in seeing the situation, and also the forwards must be able to find empty spaces to be able to create opportunities for goals.

Yes, in Bologna match against Juventus, they indeed got a draw. In fact, Bologna does have a fairly strong club, but they have not been able to appear impressive and have not been able to be consistent when facing clubs that are stronger than them.
Even so, I still hope that Napoli can win this match even though there is a chance of them drawing likes when Bolognea faced the match with Napoli last time.
But Napoli is also not stable enough this season. Napoli lost against Lazio even though as we know Lazio is a club that is not too strong this season and they are in 15th place in the standing. It seems difficult for me to predict this match and it is likely that I will bet on a draw.

Sadly the goal scored by AC Milan in the first eight minutes of the game maybe the only goal of the game as they are in the eightieth minute of the game already and AC Milan seem to find it difficult getting another goal as they have got more yellow card than Hellas Verona in this game, verona seem to be making it a tough one for AC Milan.

Initially in the first half of the game we were made to feel it was going to be an easy game for AC Milan but as they proceed into the second half it's beginning to seem otherwise as AC Milan is no longer able to score goals as expected of them. Their first goal came so early one may want to think the nxt goal is definitely coming in the first half of the game.

I jus hope Ac Milan wins the game even if it's a 1-0 in their favour so the can get the full point and probably make improvement on their next games, this match has been characterized with too many yellow cards I hope no one later goes home with a red card as they seem to have too many occupance of roughs that resulted to the award of yellow cards.

AC Milan had a 0-0 win against Verona in their last match. When AC Milan took the lead against Verona with a goal in the first 8 minutes, I thought AC Milan would win by a big margin today, but the game in the second half really let us down. After 8 minutes, almost a long 90 minutes were played, but neither team could score any more goals against the other team, as a result of which AC Milan's goal in the first 8 minutes ensured their victory. Coming into this match Milan's win was very important as with this win they have now moved to the second position in the points table. If AC Milan had dropped points in this match, they would have been far down the points table.

[posi]

The odds are quite reasonable because the possibility of AC Milan winning this match is quite large, AC Milan must win and win this weekend if they don't want to get worse, after 2 previous results in Serie A and UCL AC Milan did not get satisfactory results so there is a possibility in the match Against VERona, the AC Milan team will be strong and that is quite possible after we see the quality of these two teams.
While Verona is in a slump right now, they didn't win in their last 2 matches, so AC Milan took advantage of this moment to win this weekend's match.

Considering how AC Milan dominated in the match with Dortmund and created many opportunities in middle of the week, Verona looks like not to be an opponent that can constrain attacking power of AC Milan. They will even face with bigger pressure from AC Milan as the host actually need three points after some bad matches in Serie A. AC Milan players hopefully learned something from their inaccurate shots in Champions League match with Dortmund.

They don't actually need to score many goals to beat Verona because opponent does not have good attacking ability. So one or two goals are enough for AC Milan to secure three points from Verona. I guess a best scoring goal for AC Milan from this match at home is 3 goals, not more but I don't see Verona will get one point from AC Milan at San Siro stadium.

Yes, I actually agree. Verona definitely is not a team that possesses explosive attacking power. So I think AC Milon has to be just careful in the defense and create chances. But the thing is Milan will have to convert the chances that they create. If they can properly convert the chances that they create, I think they will be able to win this match easily.

But one thing Milan should not do is they mustn't underestimate their adversary under any circumstances. That is one way they might lose this match. They should just look to break the deadlock and after that play defensive football.

Mourinho is a good coach and I doubt anyone could say the opposite but he fails to succeed with different teams in the latest years since his tactics are well studied by his opponent and he doesn't have much to add to pick the first places without the necessary players that he always asks for and his demands were never fully fulfilled by stuff. Roma will play tomorrow vs Torino in an away game, we will see if they could score many goals or not.
Otherwise Juve were 1 goal behind Sassuolo for like 10 minutes before they were able to get a draw.. and Milan picked 3 points from Verona after a quick goal from Leao.

[coinlocket$]

Juventus is losing 1st half by 2-1.

Gonna be hard to recover this game.
