Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Swordsoffreedom]

Cagilari are not the strongest team in Serie A. Even, currently they are at bottom in standings, and I think Roma can win surely and steal three points with or without Lukaku. But if Mourinho plays Lukaku then that will be a good for him, but also if he can score a lot in that match. Lukaku still has sharpness in scoring, there is no doubt but sometimes his performance is unstable.

Lukaku is a good striker but since he was bought by Chelsea, his performance has not been stable, especially when facing Genoa last matchday, he barely managed to create a chance to score a goal.  anyway, Chelsea are reportedly ready to let him go to Roma if Roma are interested in him even at a very cheap price, on matchday 8 Roma will face Cagliari, in the last 7 matches Cagliari's performance has been very bad, they have only been able to draw 2 and lose 5, Roma also has a chance of winning, it's very possible that Lukaku will make a goal in that match.

Not because of playing at Chelsea, but since being loaned to Inter Milan, and since then Lukaku has become a mockery of rival clubs, and even the memes have spread everywhere, several times Lukaku has missed goals from Inter Milan matches and that's not just once, it's even very often. Even though it wasn't done on purpose, it was the player's bad luck which had an impact on his club, so that's why Inter Milan didn't renew his contract, and now AS Roma are affected by bad luck. I hope that in the next match, Lukaku will do it and prove his sharpness and convince him. AS Roma didn't make a mistake buying him...

I don't think Lukaku is a bad striker at all. He is quite talented. If the coach can use Lukaku properly,  he can play well. Lukaku's performance with chelsea was not good enough . And I would say that Lukaku  would have been able to perform better with Chelsea if the coach had paid enough attention to lukaku. Lukaku scored just 8 goals in 26 games with chelsea. On the other hand  Lukaku managed to score three goals in 5 matches with roma. I would say lukaku's performance  is improving with mourinho's support. Maybe  we will see a better performance from lukaku in the coming  matches . Lukaku may even have the best time of his career with Roma.

Lukaku, labeled by everyone as a mercenary, is proving to be the most serious person of all!

He does his job (puts the ball in the goal) and carries on the business, not bad. While everyone insults him and calls him a mercenary, he works and scores.

From this point of view I admire him, he doesnt give up and continues straight ahead.

The professional attitude shown by Lukaku deserves appreciation, he is not affected by insults and continues to do his job by scoring goals for the club that pays his salary. Maybe those who hate him are some fanatical fans, who don't want Lukaku to score goals against his former club like Inter Milan.

There are lots of players who leave and join rival clubs, Inter had Hakan Calhanoglu who was recruited from AC Milan, and that is a normal thing I think. Lukaku will help Roma for a full season, Mourinho must maximize his potential to win every game and improve the difficult situation they are facing.

But if Mourinho plays Lukaku then that will be a good for him, but also if he can score a lot in that match. Lukaku still has sharpness in scoring, there is no doubt but sometimes his performance is unstable.

Roma's opportunity to steal points at home to Cagilari is very possible because Cagilari is a promoted team that is not yet very strong in Serie A. This is because Cagilari have only collected two points from the seven matches they have played at the start of this season. So this match will be a golden opportunity for Roma to steal points at home to Cagilari because Roma really needs points to move to a better position than now.

Yes indeed, Lukaku is at least still reliable for AS Roma attack line because yes, in fact Lukaku is also still productive in making goals for AS Roma at this moment . But unfortunately, the final results obtained by AS Roma at this moment are still not so good ,. Also, the reason that makes AS Roma still rated bad is, because of the seven matches that AS Roma has played so far this season in Serie A, the fact that AS Roma also only gets two wins from seven matches that have been played so far ,. Therefore, playing away against Cagliari who are at the bottom of the table, it is certainly mandatory for AS Roma to be able to beat Cagliari and to successfully get three points in the next match for AS Roma.

That's right, not a very good record for Roma so far, in 7 matches they can got 2 winning. Agree, it is mandatory for Roma to win against a team which are currently at the bottom. If they can't win in that match, I think this season it will be difficulty for Mourinho to get a better position in the standings although it is too early to say that.

Cagliari are on the last line of the tournament table and they have a terrible goal difference of 2-12 (lol), but, paradoxically, the quotes at the moment are as follows:

4.60 - 3.45 - 1.87

1.87 for Roma's victory?! Isn't that a value bet? It seems to me that no matter how bad Roma is and no matter what problems it has with its squad, the coefficient should be less generous.

Maybe the bookies is stilll doubt on Roma performance, saw from several away matches Roma, they still won yet in Serie A so far. So 1.87 for Roma to win, but indeed coefficient should be less generous. Are you already bet on Roma Sir? I personally haven't bet on Roma yet, still considering other options.

It is true that if you look at the current conditions, Cagliari has not been able to do much after being promoted to Serie A. Roma should use the match against Cagliari as momentum to improve their position in the standings, but before the match against Cagliari, Mourinho squad must focus on the match in the Europa League first cons Servette. In the first round, Roma managed to get full points after defeating FC Sheriff.

Lukaku will be Mourinho mainstay on the front line, 6 matches and scoring 4 goals, Roma did not borrow him from Chelsea in vain. Lukaku sharpness in scoring goals will be meaningless, if their defense is still very weak, Mourinho must fix this if he wants to get out of pressure and bad situations.

[rendravolt]

I was very surprised to see that Romelu Lukaku was struggling to get offers from European big clubs in the summer after  the contract of his loan spell at Inter Milan was over and the main reason for my surprise is the fact that the Belgium international is a world class striker that's very prolific in front of goal. But fortunately for Roma and the player, he was signed on loan to play for them through out the 2023/24 season.
Since his arrival at Roma, he's be very instrumental to the team and should continue to lead Roma's attack. They have a game against Cagliari and I think it'll be a good decision of Jose Mourinho starts him in that match

Cagilari are not the strongest team in Serie A. Even, currently they are at bottom in standings, and I think Roma can win surely and steal three points with or without Lukaku. But if Mourinho plays Lukaku then that will be a good for him, but also if he can score a lot in that match. Lukaku still has sharpness in scoring, there is no doubt but sometimes his performance is unstable.

In the last 7 matches Cagliari have not won a single win and they have only had a draw and a defeat so far. Moreover, currently they have only managed to collect 2 points and put them in the temporary relegation zone. Certainly Roma will be able to win again in this match and there is no doubt after what they have gone through so far. Roma must immediately return to top competition and cannot continue to be depressed at the bottom, especially this season everything will be quite difficult to predict so they must be able to adapt to existing bad results and exchange them for good performance in the future.

Yes I agree with you Lukaku seems not to be used at Chelsea but has become very talented in the Serie A league and when he was with Inter Milan Lukaku also performed well, had quality performances and his contribution in every match was very good but to join Roma I haven't fully seen Lukaku's performance Even though he made a good contribution against Frosinone, I would say Lukaku is qualified if he makes a big contribution at Roma in the next few matches.
Competing against Cagliari, Roma should be superior and be able to beat this club because looking at Head To Head history, Roma was able to beat Cagliari 3 times and this is a sign that there is a big possibility that Roma will win that match.

However, I see that Serie A teams are still one of the top leagues in world football, and in European competition I hope they can show their strong competitiveness. Teams like Napoli and Inter and AC Milan still have the opportunity to win the title in the future,

It is currently difficult for Serie A teams to win because they have players quality is slightly under other top European teams. Maybe if Serie A teams have managed to get out of the financial problems faced by almost all the big Italian teams, we will see a team from Italy win the UCL again. before that, reaching the semifinal and final positions like last season is a good achievement for Serie-A representative, because even though it has limited players, but it can show Serie-A teams can still provide surprises in the UCL.

That's right, one or two players at a club who have good individual qualities will not be enough if they are not supported by an even squad depth within the team. Financial factors play a very important role in creating a club with a composition of quality players. Even though it is not guaranteed that you will win in every competition you take part in, your chances of winning are slightly greater. Inter Milan almost won the UCL last season, but they have to admit that Man City has a more complete squad depth and a genius coach, of course this cannot be separated from budget support from Sheikh Mansour pocket.

This season Serie A is represented by Napoli, Inter, Lazio and Milan in the European Champions League. Inter, who was runner-up last season, is said to be the Serie A club with the most potential to go further in the UCL this time. It could be that a surprise will happen again like last season, who knows, one of the Serie A clubs can bring home the UCL trophy despite their limitations.

Yes, basically Serie A is still one of the best leagues in Europe, but not the best of all. Therefore, Serie A teams will still find it difficult to win titles in the Champions League. Because yes, the last time a Serie A team won the Champion League trophy was in the 2009/2010 season and at that time Inter managed to beat Bayern Munich in the final with a score of 2-0. But after that season until now, no Serie A team has won the Champions League trophy again. Therefore, I'd say Serie A is still "one of the best leagues in the world, but not the best either". But yes, despite this, of course Serie A teams manage to keep getting better season after season, and I hope one of the Serie A teams will also succeed in the Champions League.

But isn't it fact that Inter Milan was crazy good in the Champions League final against Manchester City? Did anyone expect Inter Milan to get so close to the trophy? I don't think that Pep Guardiola didn't expect that, but he still was surprised how fiercely Inter Milan played against them. That game was a 50:50 game that could as well have been won by Inter Milan that night.

Both Inter and Milan are performing well in the Italian league. I hope they will be able to continue performing well like that in the Champions League as well. But it won't be easy to transition the form that they have right now to the Champions League. And when they will keep going to the later stages of the Champions League, obviously the competition is going to be harder and harder. my personal opinion is that they will probably not be able to perform very well in the Champions League. Because obviously there are better teams in the Champions League compared to them. The teams which are going to perform well in the Champions League, are Real Madrid, and Bayern Munich for sure.

Isn't it much easier to transition good form to a different competition than to step up the game out of nothing when you play bad in the domestic league and than face strong opponents in a competition like the Champions League?

Inter is solid again this season. Sometimes they are clinical and take home the 1-0, which is what makes them strong. AC Milan is probably more about some spectacular results and I am curious how this game against Dortmund will end. I think this is really tough to guess.

But in the league these two will have a strong competition for a long time. AC Milan has a great offensive lineup and if nobody gets injured for a longer period of time, their chances are good to play a great season.

Yes, that night, while everyone was expecting City to win by a big margin, they saw that they were neck and neck with Inter's great game. Onana was having a very good day. The forwards were unlucky for Inter because they could not score in many positions. They could have taken the UCL that night. That's why UCL always surprises.

[Hirose UK]

The match between the two has started and now the score is still tied at 0 - 0 even though the first half has ended but there is no sign of either of them having the advantage only that Juventus had two shots at goal but failed to produce results.
This will be fierce match for both teams because they have an important match today to improve their standings and there is only 1 point difference between Juventus and Atalanta.

Well just have to wait and see what happens until the second half is over, but here there is hope for Juventus to win over Atalanta and maybe 0 - 1 is a result worth fighting for Juventus.

Matches in Serie A are a little more difficult to predict because sometimes the final result is unexpected, both teams seemed to play more carefully don't want to make a mistake so there is a possibility that this match will end in a draw and did not change their position in the standings. As some people said this match was boring we didn't see any dangerous attacks and each team strengthens its defense lol, but yeah let's see at the last minute who knows, there might be luck through a penalty.

It was truly an absurd match and certainly this match has made some people lose money because neither of them was able to score a single goal.
I thought there was slight advantage from Juventus so they had chance to win but in the end everything was disappointing and really cannot be predicted with certainty.

From the results of this match it is true what you have said that Serie A is more difficult to predict and is different from other leagues where it may be very easy to determine who is the winner in each match.

In the overall match between the two teams there were only 20 shots and 5 of them were on goal but none of them could be goal from the overall attack.
But Atalanta was superior in dominating ball possession.

Inter Milan would have won the Champions League if not for the opportunities that were lost by its strikers, especially Lukaku. Everybody expected that Manchester City would have had a free day in the finals but it didn't turn out that way. I was also surprised about the attacking style of play by Inter because everyone expected them to play defensively. I doubt if Inter Milan will have the chance of getting to the finals this season.

But they are not also doing badly in the Italian Seria A because they are topping the league. They have gotten four points from two games in the Champions League and they are currently second in Group D. The buying of Arena Thuram has brought tremendous improvement to the attack of Inter Milan.

[KTChampions]

Cagliari are on the last line of the tournament table and they have a terrible goal difference of 2-12 (lol), but, paradoxically, the quotes at the moment are as follows:

4.60 - 3.45 - 1.87

1.87 for Roma's victory?! Isn't that a value bet? It seems to me that no matter how bad Roma is and no matter what problems it has with its squad, the coefficient should be less generous.

Maybe the bookies is stilll doubt on Roma performance, saw from several away matches Roma, they still won yet in Serie A so far. So 1.87 for Roma to win, but indeed coefficient should be less generous. Are you already bet on Roma Sir? I personally haven't bet on Roma yet, still considering other options.

Bookmakers, as always, “know something,” but still I don’t understand why the odds are so good. When Empoli was in last place, Roma beat them 7-0, why shouldn't Roma win at least 1-0 against Cagliari, which are now in last place. Yes, I will bet, but I make bold bets, hehe, and it will be a multi-bet, so it’s better not to rely on my opinion  By the way, surprisingly, I lost my last multi-bet with odds of 20 because of City.

That's how it was 100%! Inter Milan was the stronger team in parts of the game and nobody expected that they would be able to actually do much at all. But if I remember correctly, Manchester City scored the goal with a ball that got deflected, didn't they? But anyway it's already the past and now we are luckily right in the middle of the competition again. I hate the breaks when soccer stops and now it is good to that everything is going again with the Champions League as well. As exciting as national leagues can be, the Champions League will always be different.

Inter Milan is a competitive team with brilliant players and they have an experience coach that knows basically how to handled tougher games and elite opponents. Facing Pep Guardiola in UEFA Champions League final was challenging, both sides have what it takes to become Champions but only the best team will be able lift the title, Inter Milan did their best but all to no avail because of the defensive strategy implemented by Pep Guardiola men who were not relenting, picking up their best performance. Though it's all in the past, we should focuses on the current game at hand.

Some interesting games this week, starting with the Derby for Juventus.

[Velvet78]

Inter won their Champions League game while Milan were losing two points once again. But I don't expect any of these teams to get affected by the negative results they get in the Champions League. Because both of their concentration for the Serie A games is just something else. They both are very assertive for the title for now.

I still can't forget about the Inter - Milan game though. But I wouldn't expect a similar result to be seen in their second game in the season. I feel like this will be another season Inter and Milan fight for the league title until the end. But for now it isn't easy to make sure about any side to make it of course.
