Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[ndutndut]

There was nothing surprising in last night's match between Torino and Roma, because both teams seemed confused about how to press and there was a lack of creativity on the field. In fact, I even thought that maybe both teams would not be able to score goals against each other in this match. However, Romelu Lukaku thwarted my predictions by scoring Roma's first goal, but not long after Torino managed to equalize with a goal scored by Zapata. But in the end the result was still a draw with only 1 point equal. Even though last week Roma was flooded with praise after a big win and it doesn't seem surprising that last night they failed to get full points again.

I am also confused by As Roma's performance which cannot maintain its consistency, just last week they won a big win but against Torino they had to lose with a draw. Five points in five As Roma games is very embarrassing for a squad like this. It seems to me that everyone is guilty, including the coach. Except for Lukaku, I applaud him because he scores a goal every match, but in the third year there is no longer an alibi. In this match, As Roma conceding a goal was ridiculous and this is not the first time that As Roma, after scoring a goal, were immediately negligent and couldn't maintain their score lead. It's true that like the previous season, As Roma always had difficulties against Torino but Jose Mourinho always didn't learn from his mistakes.

It's such a sad fact that Napoli is at 7th place this season and not doing as well as they did last season but they sort of deserved it as well. They are the ones who fired their manager, the one that brought them championship after so many years, and they thought that the ownership and the management was the one that did it and even with the manager fired, they could build a team that could win the league, which turns out to be wrong so far.

Of course there are still many weeks left so we should just let them be, but that doesn't mean that anything will change, we are going to end up with a bad result without a doubt and we should be comparing this situation to be a big mistake they have done with that decision.

Even so, I think Napoli still has the opportunity to improve their performance in the next match. Because this season we are still too early to see the strength of a team in maintaining their best form. I think Osimhen should be able to make a big contribution to every match they play because he is one of the players who played an important role in Napoli's success in the previous season. So he must be able to prove that he is not a player who only shines for one season.

Apart from that, I am also worried about Juventus because they seem to have difficulty beating their opponents. Moreover, in this week's match Juventus were able to be beaten by Sasoulo even though in terms of depth their strength was stronger than their opponents. They have to adjust this well to continue to try hard so as not to lose any more points in the upcoming matches. Maybe for now Inter Milan is one of the teams that has big enough ambitions to win the Scudetto trophy if we judge it from the results they get in each match.

Victor Osimhen is an elite striker and and elite goalscorer and this has been proven from his time VfL Wolfsburg, RSC Charleroi, Lille and also last season with Napoli; the only difference is that this season, Rudi Garcia tactics is not setting up chances for Victor Osimhen and the entire attack line is struggling. The coach needs to do better definitely.

Also, it was a very professional attitude from Victor Osimhen this morning, apologizing to his players, coach and entire team for the arguments in the draw against Bologna; taking responsibility is noble. Napoli can still turn around their season if they get their tactics right especially with Kvaya struggling.

Five points in five As Roma games is very embarrassing for a squad like this. It seems to me that everyone is guilty, including the coach.

Actually, AS Roma already played inconsistently since the previous season. They could win with big scores and win against tough opponents, but they could get losses against smaller teams then. Or they got a draw against smaller teams. TBH, I'm also confused, AS Roma seems to have no winning mentality. The mentality of AS Roma players look like very easy to change. They can play aggressively with high motivation in a match, but they can change to play with almost no motivation in the next match. In my opinion, it is the responsibility of the coach to keep good motivation and build winning mentality among the players. So, for AS Roma case, this is the mistake made by the coach.

Except for Lukaku, I applaud him because he scores a goal every match, but in the third year there is no longer an alibi.

You're right. Lukaku deserves to get our appreciation.
He already tried to give his best to contribute for AS Roma. Against Torino he already scored 1 goal, unfortunately AS Roma couldn't keep the leading until the end of the match.

Despite the fact that it is only the beginning of the season and Napoli undoubtedly can and should improve their results, at least based on the fact that the championship squad has practically been preserved, it is still worth noting that 8 points after the 5th round of the championship is the team's worst result in the last 8 years. Osimhen is clearly not at his ease yet, as evidenced by the unforgiven penalty against Bologna. For now, we will write everything off to the difficulties of lapping the team to the new coach. It's just that Napoli has accustomed everyone to a strong start in recent years.

This season, Napoli will find it difficult to compete at the top because of the various problems currently surrounding them. The change of coach from Spalletti to Rudi Garcia was the main reason for the team's decline. You can assess how their performance seems to be starting to decline. I also see that it will be difficult for Garcia to manage a team that has experienced the Scudetto before and the players will find it difficult to respect him as a coach. Just look when Osimhen very bravely reacted strongly to Garcia, it was the wrong action even though he had apologized. This means that conditions in the Partenopei dressing room are not good.

Having good striker but bad manager? It sounds bad. It's caused by osimhen will not able to play as good as lats season caused by he feels a difficulty in adapting to the garcia's strategy.
I would like to blame management for taking wrong manager to handle the club. Napoli was disappointed me many times since the club was always making my bet collapse with its stupid performance.
Garcia must out from the club or napoli will not able to defend its trophy again. Enough is enough for garcia. The gameplay of napoli under him changed a lot. It's terrible to watch now.

Also, it was a very professional attitude from Victor Osimhen this morning, apologizing to his players, coach and entire team for the arguments in the draw against Bologna; taking responsibility is noble.

It seems like that extending his contract in napoli become one of very bad decision by osimhen. It's obviously true if this club is only relying on him.
There's no player that can change the situation during the game except him right now. Kvarat was also under performance.

Osimhen shall leave from there during the winter transfer season. Osimhen deserves a better place than napoli which will also be able to give him more experience and push him to be even better.

Juventus played with sassuolo and lost on Saturday and today they are to play with Lecce , I mean it's too close, why would such draw be made my serie A, because I feel it will bring fatigue on the players and will definitely affect their results as they may not have rested enough to play a new game. Juventus did suffer their first loss for this season on Saturday.

I'm sure they will not allow Lecce to secure three points playing with them , although Lecce still stands unbeaten aswell I don't think it guarantees them another win today but I'm very sure Juventus will fight hard as this win is very much needed as it will help their psychology if the eventually win, it's most likely Lecce is not going to make it an easy game for Juventus aswell.

Lecce is not a weak team and not a very strong one either as they have not lost a game this season rather they draw. Lecce happens to have not concede a single goal at home this season. Juventus is home and may want to employ the home advantage because they definitely want a win this game to make up for the loss just suffered, we least expected such loss from Juventus.

This season continues with a very bad start for Roma. Currently, they have collected only 5 points in the league and 5 matches are already left. It was a great start for Inter. As Roma start to meet expectations, their chances of getting into the top 4 places in the league may increase.

I also see that it will be difficult for Garcia to manage a team that has experienced the Scudetto before and the players will find it difficult to respect him as a coach.

Napoli is not a club that is familiar with Scudetto holding and they usually struggle with other clubs to get a position within Serie A top rankings like top four or top six. Some seasons, they managed to compete for Scudetto but failed at the end against Juventus and Inter Milan. The past season is one of most successful seasons in their club history but it is very hard for them to continue that success in this season even if Spalletti coach did not leave their club in the summer.

Just look when Osimhen very bravely reacted strongly to Garcia, it was the wrong action even though he had apologized. This means that conditions in the Partenopei dressing room are not good.

Napoli need to have more than Osimhen and Kravatskhelia to defend their Scudetto. Opponents and competitors in Serie A actually spent many months in the last season and three summer months to figure out how to reduce danger from those attacking players. Napoli need to have other aces to make their attacking system still effectively in this season. From their summer transfer and so far, no big surprising discoveries like Kravatskhelia in the last season.

It's just that Napoli has accustomed everyone to a strong start in recent years.

I believed that better results could be achieved with their new coach, but apparently I was wrong. They had a bad start this year and this pushed them to the bottom of the league. However, they managed to maintain their strong squad from last year. Only Min Jae was an important player and they sold him to Bayern. I was expecting a performance similar to last year for Napoli because now there are players who are more used to each other.

Juventus is home and may want to employ the home advantage because they definitely want a win this game to make up for the loss just suffered, we least expected such loss from Juventus.

The defeat experienced by Juventus against Sassuolo was quite surprising. And this also slightly damaged the self-esteem of the Juventus players. In fact, I still remember the mistake made by F. Gatti. At least I would hope that F.Gatti makes up for the mistakes he made against Sassuolo by making a better game against Lecce.

Lecce is stronger than Sassuolo. But because this is a home match for Juventus. So Juventus must be able to play better and not make mistakes like in the match against Sassuolo.

I personally didn't expect to see Lecce become stronger this season. Because last season Lecce was actually quite weak. And last season Juventus was always able to beat Lecce quite well. But this season is very different. Lecce has built a good reputation and achievements at the start of this season. So every club that will face Lecce must be more careful. I personally will also favor Juventus in this match. Because after all, Juventus will definitely vent their annoyance due to last week's defeat by Sassuolo by beating Lecce.

[Sebas.tian]

In this match I bet against Bologna. I didn't win the bet because this match was a draw. I expected Napoli team to play very well and they will win this match. Neither team won the match because of the equal performance of both teams so the match was considered as a draw.  For which the points have to be shared between the two teams in this match. If we look at the points table, we can see that Napoli team is at the 7th position while Bologna is at the 11th position. However, we have seen a tough fight between the two teams.

Instead of betting on one team, it's better if you take a double chance bet because after all that can save your bet from losses. Maybe the odds are not as much as normal odds but you will still make money if the match result is not as you predicted. I was actually quite hesitant to bet on Napoli because since the start of the season they have been less stable and I didn't place any bets here. Returning to the match, it was quite a shame that Napoli couldn't win and it seemed the players were very frustrated because a draw would just widen their distance from reaching the top of the standings. Maybe there needs to be a complete overhaul so they can win again later.

Bologna away games are usually difficult and Napoli managed to get a point in this difficult away game. Of course, 3 points are very important. They must be very upset not to have won the 3 points. Osimhen fell far below expectations this season. I expected him to play better. This year has been average for Napoli.

Napoli would have win the match to defeat Bologna,
but Napoli strikers where not well organized to use their talent to embrace goals from the match. Many people where hoping that Napoli will use the penalty to achieve the winning goal from the match but Victor Osimhen missed the opportunity that made Napoli fans to feel bad about the bad performance Napoli players experienced from the home of Bologna. Based on Napoli position in the Italian league table, I don't think Napoli will be able to take this first position from Inter because Inter performance is very good and they are in a solid ground to challenge any teams in this season to lift the trophy.

The match against Bologna expected Napoli to take full points but the match ended up being a goalless draw with the two teams sharing the points. It was very necessary for Napoli to get full points in this match because if they get full points in this match, they would have a chance to go from 7th place in the points table to 3rd place in the points table but they couldn't do it. However, picking up a point instead of losing a point in the away match was not a bad thing for Napoli. Even if they get a point in this match, Napoli will definitely try to get full points in the next match. 

Osimhen has not been able to perform at his best since the beginning of the season. He also missed several chances in the match against Bologna. Osimhen must return to his best if Napoli can do well.

The game ended 0-0 with solid chances that got missed by the visitors frontlines. Victor Osimhen was really upset about the game especially when Rudi Garcia substituted him in the second half because he was keen on scoring a goal. Bologna might have find their way to stop Napoli, because based on their previous meetings, Napoli have been dominant and victorious against the average side but the current situation on ground is changing. Bologna have become more defensive and a headache for the Parthenopeans. The Greyhounds have sealed a draw tie in the last two home games at the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara. I would presumed about the present situation of the Bologna supporters to be happy, sharing points with an elite competitive club like Napoli is not easy.

Osimhen seems to have lost a little in his accuracy both in shooting and heading the ball. I see Oshimen doesn't seem to be enjoying the game very much at the moment. Maybe he was a little stressed by everyone's high expectations of him. So Osimhen might be a little shaky on this one. Because there were too many wasted opportunities in that match. Napoli should have had several chances to score. But everything was lost because the Napoli attackers couldn't utilize it properly.

Osimhen has not lost his abilities. He just needs to be more focused and more confident like last season. I believe he is still a good player if he can be more confident.

[rendravolt]

Today is a faster week than before because there will be an opening match between hosts Juventus and Lecce and as we know the previous defeat against Sassuolo will be a big motivation for Allegri's squad to win again at home. Meanwhile, Lecce, as we know so far, has been quite surprising by sitting in 3rd position, making them even more confident in defending their place against Juventus.

In H2H it is quite clear that Juventus is always superior and there is no doubt at all that they will win their meeting against Lecce again this season. If you look at the odds offered by the bookie, Juventus is favored with odds @1.49 and it is quite clear that they will be able to win. But the BTTS option with odds @2.07 is also quite reasonable because after all Lecce will try to match Juventus by scoring goals too. The two betting options above are the best so far.

Of course the results of this series are good enough for Bologna, but for Napoli the results of this series are quite bad, plus they have not been able to overcome the bad results they received in the previous 2 matches.
Now Napoli's performance is getting worse, they have only been able to win 2 of the 5 matches they have played in Serie A and this is not an appropriate result for a team like Napoli.

And the chaos that occurred between Victor Osimhen and the coach because Victor Osimhen did not accept it when he was pulled out, this indicates that the chemistry of this team is not very good and it is possible that the relationship between the two will get worse in the future which will have a big impact on the team.
It seems that Rudi Garcia can now be considered to have failed to continue Napoli's performance like last season.

Lecce has change a lot this season that their defense were very strong and until week 5 they still unbeatable and as mediocre team i think this is good achievement because at least they still able to managed their performance and Lecce is the team with interesting records because from the total 8 goals they scored this season 6 of them were scored in the second half so it proven Lecce is very consistent when the match entering second half

Conceded 4 goals from Sassuolo proven Juventus defensive lines doesn't so good and all of Juventus defensive players looks panic when they were playing under pressure and even Allegri has admit it that Juventus was filled with mostly young players so sometimes they were unable to playing consistent and in this match it shouldn't be happend again and for betting option indeed Juventus has low odds because they are favourite status but i think it's not quite safe because i fear Juventus will be failed to win again and other option just like both teams to scores maybe is more good for this match

The Bologna vs Napoli match was very unfortunate because Napoli could not get full points when competing with Bologna, so many people blamed Victor Oshimen for failing to take the opportunity to score a goal.
It would be unfair to only blame one party because in my opinion Oshimen still has the ability to be a great striker and in fact he has tried his best to take this opportunity, it's just that luck was not on his side.
I hope that in the next match Napoli vs Udinese Napoli will be able to win this match because Udinese is not a very strong opponent for Napoli and Napoli should be able to win the match so that Napoli can get full points and catch up in this match especially since Napoli will be playing at home. I think it will increase their self-confidence.

If you compare Napoli with Inter Milan, it seems that Napoli is not yet capable enough to equalize Napoli's position with a difference of 7 points in the standings, which means that Napoli have to win several more matches in order to catch up with Inter and Milan at the top of the standings.
