Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[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.

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

I think with statistics like that Juventus have to be more careful, otherwise in the second half there is a possibility that they will concede. Lecce are a pretty consistent team and as you said they have a very good defense for a mediocre team. Juventus certainly hasn't forgotten that last week they were humiliated by Sassuolo with 4 goals and they have to fix it in this match if they don't want it to happen again. That's why I'm quite hesitant about betting on Juventus and indeed the safe option for betting is the one I mentioned before and what remains is that Juventus will at least not concede many goals in this match.

This will be the moment for Juventus to lock in points at home, even though Lecce has performed surprisingly well and have not been beaten in their previous five matches, so that making them in the top three of the standings now. Allegri must try to refresh after experiencing defeat against Sassuolo and if he is unable to implement the right strategy, it is not impossible that Lecce will steal points at home to Juventus.

I prefer the second option if you want to bet and take advantage of the odds @ 2.07, Lecce will definitely try to play optimally so as not to lose points in this match and a draw might be a reasonable consideration compared to winning one of them. Even so, Juventus will probably try to play more openly so as not to lose the best moments in the match because after all they need points to continue to be in the top three of the standings.

I think the Juventus vs Lecce match is a pretty big match this time. Because Lecce's performance, which has not even lost this season, is considered very surprising by many people. So this fight will be a fight I won't miss. Because I'm curious whether Lecce's performance is really good or they are only good when facing weak teams.

Maybe my curiosity will be answered in this match. And of course my bet is on Juventus. Because after all I can't imagine Juventus losing to Lecce. 

I agree about in this sixth round we have only this game which could be most entertaining and tough with Lecce is having surprising start of this season with no defeat in first five game only Inter Milan is other which have no lost but Lecce having two draws and both are on road which mean we can expect a tough job for the Juventus which is coming after having bad defeat against Sassuolo.

Juventus needs to give their best if they want to have better chance for the top spot in coming season because in case of poor result they can face backlash which could be not good for them Lecce never won against Juventus in last six games which is clearly favoring home side, but their current form is surely creating question mark with can they end winning run of Lecce.

Seriously, I don't expect Lecce to beat Juventus at Allianz today. Lecce has so far been unbeaten in the last 5 matches, but Juventus, who are playing at home, should be able to stop this streak when they are favorites.

We all know that Lecce is a strong team defensively so they have only conceded 4 goals in the last 5 matches. Their striker is also quite dangerous, so far Nikola Krstović has scored 3 goals in 4 matches. Juventus' defense must be wary about Nikola Krstović if they don't want to concede, so there is no real reason why Juventus would underestimate Lecce.

In fact, last season Lecce almost got relegated but who would have thought that Lecce would manage to start this season well. At least this result is also a surprise but indeed, over time Lecce will decline because Lecce does not have the quality to be able to maintain this good result continuously. Also, about conceding four goals in five matches played, I don't think it's a good record either. But yes, because this happened to Lecce, then at least we will also consider it a great result at this moment fo Lecce. But even so, I personally don't think Lecce has a strong defense and therefore, Juventus should be able to succeed in beating Lecce in this match.

It would be great if Juventus did that, but the problem is that this match even though Juventus is definitely the favorite but still it will be a little difficult for them.
Lecce is currently still quite good in terms of performance even if you look at the record at the beginning of this season Lecce is better than Juventus because they still haven't lost and managed to beat Lazio and hold a draw with Fiorentina, which in fact is one of the clubs that is bigger than them.
Juventus will inevitably have to work hard again in this match because otherwise this will not be too good especially with the previous defeat I think they need to make some changes so that they are not too far behind in terms of points.

if we predict from h2h it is very convincing that Juventus will be superior in today match but if we predict from the current performance both of them are difficult to predict even though they are playing at Juventus home ground but Lecce is currently in a very strong condition and is even able to rank third in series A standings make us all a little unsure about which team to bet on.

but to take a small risk I just did a little research on previous performance if Juventus will still be stronger at home even if Lecce is able to match Juventus performance it will end in a draw so I will bet on double chance Juventus or draw. even the odds are very small, I tried multi betting on other teams.

[emrecemsan]

I respect Lecce's start to the season completely. However I would rather be realistic about this match today. I will be expecting a clear victory by Juventus.

I was thinking the same for Juventus' match against Lazio in Turin also. I didn't doubt Juventus in that match despite Lazio's beating Napoli before. I think the same scenario will happen in this match too. Lecce also showed really good performances against bigger teams like Fiorentina and Lazio both. But I don't expect to see the same resistance here.

Juventus can finish the job even in the first half if we see the same concentration level in the Lazio match. I think they will win by a 2-goal difference.

Juventus is certainly very ambitious to get full points over Lecce. The Old Lady will not allow Lecce to celebrate at the Allianz Stadium because defeat against Sassuolo will be a whip for Allegri's troops to take out their anger on Lecce. Lecce is indeed in a good trend but I don't see any advantages from that team and I am very sure that Juventus will definitely get the three points easily.

[bbigtart]

I still don't get it with Napoli and their recent performance, like we're talking about the champions of Italian Serie A but with all we have seen it has been proven that they're struggling.

I think Napoli have been unlucky so far. This is what is difficult for every club to implement, maintaining last season's top position will always be difficult because the team's weak points are not addressed and largely because Napoli have lost several important factors this is surprising. Indeed, in the match against Bologna, they could dominate but they just need a little luck and be more clinical in taking advantage of their opportunities.

Bologna who are seated at 11th position got a draw against Napoli and the goal machine of Napoli, talking about V. Osimhen who missed a penalty that would have gotten them all 3 point has come to apologize for his behavior after he was substituted in that game.
But something came up where Napoli took to social media in a video that only indicate as a mockery to the Nigerian striker, but is this even necessary?
Mocking a player who scored 31 goals (if I'm not mistaken) in all competitions last season that helped Napoli win the league in a long while is being treated this way, isn't it a racial abuse coming from the Napoli side?

after missing a penalty. Maybe this time I don't agree with the reaction when he was replaced. I saw Osimhen had to stop his reckless behavior when he was replaced by Garcia in the '85 minute. That was very disrespectful, to the coach and the team.

From the look of both club performance, Juventus is playing and creating chances for themselves more than Lecce but they have a difficult time to break the deadlock in the match. Juventus took possession of the game in the first half.

I believe in this second half, the deadlock would be broken and either any of the club will net the post. I hope that Lecce would be able to hold Juventus down and not let them score any goal to that they can both share the points, but I don't think that Juventus will allow this to happen because they will like to use this match to over take Lecce to be third on the table.

It looks like Juventus will secure a 1-0 lead to maintain until this match is over. I saw Lecce not moving when playing at the Juventus stadium because Lecce so far they have not been able to maintain their balance in this match. Allegri seems to be successful in this match, he rotated players quite wisely, where Vlahovic was not in the starting lineup in this match, but he trusted Milik and Chiesa for the front line and they were able to work quite well.

The match has entered the final minutes, it seems that Lecce is still trying to equalize their position in this match. The final minutes are always crucial if the match is 1-0 up because the slightest mistake can change the position in this match. I think Juventus must play carefully and secure full points in this match to maintain their chances of remaining in the top 4.

The match was over and Juventus was only able to score 1 winning goal in the second half. Actually, Juventus really dominated the match and they created quite a lot of opportunities but only one goal was scored. From Lecce they were only able to match Juventus with ball possession and even from shots on target they were unable to do it even once. This time Lecce had to stop and at least they realized that the time would come to lose.

Winning three points is the ultimate priority for the Old lady's. They keep on winning in difficult games, having no relenting actions than beating their opponents. Lecce did their hardest to equalize the game, but with little possibilities to score, it was tough for them to make matters straight. Juventus narrowly escaped Lecce, winning 1 nil. Massimiliano Allegri felt satisfied with the performance; the Bianconeri dominated the game but struggled to score. Arkadiuaz Milik scored his first goal of the season to put Juventus ahead in the second half.

Yeah, Napoli have missed points in the last 3 matches 1 loss 2 draws and they out of the top 4 even 7 points behind, this makes me doubt that Napoli can secure the title this season and for some reason Napoli always have difficulty when playing away. In other matches Roma also drew today winning by 7 goals in the previous match has no impact on this match. We don't know whether Roma really kept players for the Champions League match or whether they were just unlucky.

Even though they say that Garcia has a training style like Spalletti who tends to attack, so far, in practice this is different. Napoli's performance was not only not optimal in the attack line but also in the midfield. Even though Osimhen still has the same performance as before, he cannot optimize his abilities due to a lack of support from other players, especially in attacking positions. A lack of solid squad and inadequate tactics in this case were also one of the factors in Napoli's failure several times at the start of this season. I thought the difference wouldn't be that big, but the fact is quite surprising. Moreover, currently they are far in the middle of the standings.

Anyway Congratulations to Juventus that just won against Lecce with a score of 1-0. Even though it's only 1 goal difference, at least you win, you still win, you still get the full 3 points. However, there must be an evaluation from the coach, especially for their attack line. Again, sometimes they waste a lot of opportunities when they are already in their defense area. But overall, this time, they were able to optimize their opportunities quite well.

Juventus' victory put them in second place in the standings. However, I saw that Juventus' game did not develop with Juventus' possession of the ball, they were only able to score one goal. Juventus doesn't seem to want to try too hard even though they are risking a draw in this match. Even though in that match the disturbances that occurred in Juventus' defense line were not very significant, Lecce did not even fire a single shot at Juventus' goal. Juventus played calmly considering that Lecce's unsuccessful way of playing made Juventus worried.

The essence of this match was Lecce doing their best, Lecce played a pure defensive game and they almost did it. Juventus also deserved to win because they tried their best to score goals even though they were not able to score many goals and were not even able to do much in building attacks.

Indeed, in the match against Bologna, they could dominate but they just need a little luck and be more clinical in taking advantage of their opportunities.

Why they are unlucky? They actually still have enough top players. They just can't optimize their performance because they have new tactics/strategies. Now, with a new coach (Rudi Garcia), Napoli applies a different game style. Under a new coach, Napoli players' mentality seems not as well as in the previous season. That's why Napoli turns to be like a different team this season.

IMO, Napoli doesn't need to maintain the top position as the last season. But they should be in the top 4 (UCL zone) at least. And Napoli shouldn't get difficulty against small teams like Bologna and Genoa. We know that Napoli still has Osimhen, Kvaratskhelia, Zielinski, and Rrahmani. With these players, Napoli should play better than the 2 last matches in Serie A.

Juventus game has not improved at all, and it does not seem possible for it to improve with the current limited squad. I think they have the capacity to finish the league in 3rd or 4th place at best. They were able to win the Lecce match with a single goal. They are not a team that is in a position to win easily. For now, if they strengthen the bad players in the interim transfer season and add purposeful players to the team, a much more effective central midfield is needed instead of Miretti, for example. Maybe they could consider a more aggressive centre-forward next to Vlahovic.
