Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Davian144]

Bologna had to settle for sharing points with Inter Milan, to be able to equalize Bologna fought hard not to accept defeat from Inter Milan and were lucky thats the first goal was created by Riccardo Orsolini in the 19th minute thank to a penalty and the seconds half was followed by Joshua Zirkzee goal in 52 minute.
Bologna is in its best performance at the moments and in the next match Bologna will playing at home against Frosinone with only 1 point difference. Bologna must appear impressive to be able to get points and get to the top 10, after facing Inter with a draw of course Bologna will be more confident in facing Frosinone.

Frosinone is a team that is not very strong in Serie A this season and this will be taken advantage of by Bologna, who are now starting to become more confident after being able to draw at home to Inter Milan. It was very painful for Inter Milan who were unable to win at home when they met Bologna, because Inter Milan itself was fighting for first position with AC Milan. However, with this draw, Inter Milan has to sit in second place in the standings with a distance of two points over AC Milan.

Frosinone is a team that is not very strong in Serie A this season and this will be taken advantage of by Bologna, who are now starting to become more confident after being able to draw at home to Inter Milan. It was very painful for Inter Milan who were unable to win at home when they met Bologna, because Inter Milan itself was fighting for first position with AC Milan. However, with this draw, Inter Milan has to sit in second place in the standings with a distance of two points over AC Milan.

Frosinone is not strong, but they are still better than Roma. Frosinone have picked up 12 points from 3 wins and 3 draws in 8 matches, so I don't expect them to be underestimated so easily. So far Frosinone have managed to occupy 8th place with the same points as Lecce and Monza, but I wouldn't be surprised if they eventually drop as the league progresses.

Regarding Milan, of course I am happy to see them finding their best form in the first 8 matches. Milan managed to seize the top position from Inter after they slipped due to being held to a draw by Bologna with a score of 2-2. Obviously that's bad for Inter, but Milan is certainly not safe even though they are 2 points ahead of Inter at the moment.

The Frosinone team is new to Serie A. However, this group should not be considered too weak. This team is now in the eighth place in the points table. They are able to perform very well. They have lost two out of eight matches. On the other hand, the Bologna team is at the 11th place in the points table. But the performance of this group is quite stable. Their party is not strong. But their defense and match tactics are excellent. They conceded only 6 goals in 8 matches. Bologna's players will now be more confident after picking up 1 point against Inter Milan in the last match. But my guess is that the match will be a draw. While Bologna's performance has been steady, their attack has been quite weak.

Do you think Napoli are being affected by bad handling from Rudi Garcia? Because if we cast our minds back to that incident that led Osimhen to being the laughingstock of Napoli, we saw how the coach made a change that was not so pleasing, bringing in another attacker and removing Osimhen whereas he(Rudi) should have brought in another attacker to support the Nigerian. Or should we say the team is being affected by Osimhen? Because in football, there's a lot of criticisms and if Rudi continues to give unproductive results, his job could well be hanging and this can be fueled by the fans.

There must be an impact on every change of coach in a team because they have to adjust to different strategies and game schemes. In addition, there are differences in the coaches' abilities in managing teams, so the effect could be to make their performance worse or better. Basically, coaches have a big role in improving the performance of their players and the most important point is how coaches can utilize the quality of the players they have.

I don't understand what you mean by taking Osimhen out and bringing in another striker, because every team definitely needs cover players to help the team become more solid. What I saw was that Osimhen was withdrawn because he missed a penalty in the previous match and Rudi Garcia still believes in Osimhen as their current striker.

This year's Napoli is a different Napoli compared to last year's
unfortunately there are many factors that have broken the magic, many have realized it
I'm also seeing that there isn't much chemistry between the team and the coach and this is not a good thing at all for the team's performance

This year's Napoli is a different Napoli compared to last year's
unfortunately there are many factors that have broken the magic, many have realized it
I'm also seeing that there isn't much chemistry between the team and the coach and this is not a good thing at all for the team's performance

The difference between this season and last is the coach, and I think the previous coach is by far better than the present one, the current coach is not fit to coach a club like Napoli I feel he's not ready yet and should've focus on coaching smaller clubs and performing very well with them before moving to a bigger team  cause it's really obvious that Rudi Garcia is not able to handle big players that are in the club and has fallen out with several of them recently, which is killing the teams performance.

 Well I think he's at the risk of being sacked because I don't see him taking the club forward rather they'll keep dropping points which is very bad for the club currently cause it's making their rivals move far ahead of them in the league standings, well I also understand that Rudi Garcia doesn't understand Italian football anymore and is incapable of building a connection with his key players both on a off the dressing room.

Currently, Napoli is considering sacking coach Rudi Garcia, of course this is allegedly because the results obtained in the last few matches have not been very satisfactory. In the last 10 matches, Napoli achieved 5 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses, of course that is not a good result for the defending Serie champions last season. The owner of Napoli seems dissatisfied with the performance of coach Rudi Garcia and we have often discussed it here that choosing an inexperienced coach like Rudi Garcia will only make Napoli worse off and unable to maintain their performance like the previous season. Maybe this is too soon for Napoli but they must act quickly to determine Rudi Garcia's next fate. Do you think this is the right decision for Napoli to fire Rudi Garcia and does anyone still hope that Rudi Garcia can improve Napoli in the future? let's discuss it.

Things like this are inevitable even though they still have a fairly good number of wins when trained by Garcia but if you compare this season and last season then there is already a noticeable difference from this.
Now I think he needs a few chances because firing at the beginning of this season is not very good and changing coaches cannot be a guarantee for Napoli, but if in the end Management and Napoli officials are impatient with the results that Napoli always get then the dismissal sooner or later will definitely happen in the next few weeks if Napoli's performance is always the same.

Napoli is currently ranked 5th on the Serie A rankings. The 1-3 defeat to Fiorentina at home made Napoli fans lose all patience with coach Rudi Garcia. They still play with a 4-3-3 formation, but their attack could be stronger and clearer. I was shocked, especially when he withdrew three key players, Osimhen, Lobotka, and Zielinski, from the field when Fiorentina was leading 1-2. Garica believes that this loss was due to the player's psychological coaching to errors in defense, not due to his tactics. Garica believes that this loss was due to player psychology leading to mistakes in defense, not due to tactics. He needs to be more talented to lead Napoli. What I need most from Mr. Garcia is humility and recognition of his mistakes to correct them.

When Luciano Spalletti left the club after an impressive season with the Napoli which ended in winning the Italian Serie A title for the first time in over 3 decades, the fans of the club weren't happy with club management's decision to all the Italian manager leave the Italian champions.
Rudi Garcia without doubt is a good manager but I know it'll be very difficult for him to have a good campaign with  Napoli in his first season with the club. The fans were infuriated with the club's result yesterday against Fiorentina despite playing at home and it's very understandable after the club's former manager had initially set a great standard by winning the league last season

Luciano was Napoli best manager the previous season, without him Napoli have many problems, the performance of Napoli players dropped drastically. I see Osimhen, he is a goal machine but this season that man performance has dropped in scoring a lot of goals. Yes Napoli lost again at home, but on matchday 8 very bad result than previous matches because they were lose with a score of 1-3. This result not good and of course very disappointing their fans, so yes reasonable if Napoli fans blamed Garcia, because he couldn't improve performance of Napoli.

There are many reasons leading to Napoli's woes, But the big mistake still lies with Coach Garcia. Coach Garcia's way of using people needs to be reviewed. The players need more confidence, not just Osimhen. The familiar spirit and cohesion in the whole team have been greatly eroded after the departure of coach Spalletti. Perhaps Garcia is not qualified to lead Napoli in the current context. Maybe he needs more time, but he needs to know that President De Laurentiis is not a patient person. If the club cannot improve, he may not be able to keep his seat until the end of the season.

[hahay]

I think when the board makes the analysis what counts is whether Napoli is without chances and plays bad soccer, but do they really? If I see this more or less correctly, Napoli has problems with using their chances and scoring goals at the moment. It is also true that they are not as dominant and as determined last season. But I am not sure if the board is convinced that changing the coach would also change their situation. This is what they will be thinking about, similar to the problem that Manchester United has. Will changing the coach also improve the team?

There is no guarantee that a change of coach can have an instant impact on improving the club performance. Garcia is not too bad because he is just undergoing his first season at Napoli. The overall composition of Napoli players is almost the same as last season, what Garcia needs now is to speed up his adaptation process in the Napoli squad. Napoli opportunity to defend the Scudetto is still open, I know Inter Milan and AC Milan are much better than Napoli this season.

Considering that Serie A has only been running for eight matches, anything could still happen in the future, Garcia needs to improve the performance of his defensive players so that Osimhen productivity in scoring goals is not in vain. Behind seven points from the top of the standings, it is still realistic to catch up, Milan is unlikely to survive until the end of the season without losing.

Yes indeed, I also think Rudi Garcia is not that bad and maybe, the problem is only about Rudi Garcia attitude which is not good towards the players, which might make Rudi Garcia threatened with being fired. But I think, if we only consider the tactics and strategy used for Napoli, it seems like Rudi Garcia still has good potential over time. But perhaps, the board has a mismatch with Rudi Garcia style as a head coach and thus I think it is possible that Rudi Garcia will be fired. If that happens, then at least Napoli is not prioritizing Rudi Garcia potential as a head coach, but about how good the head coach is at leading a big team like Napoli.

In fact, Napoli's coach has very high expectations now, because Napoli were Serie A winners last season. But it is very difficult for a new coach to build a good team in a short time. Even if they change the coach at the beginning of the season, he will still need time.

After all, at this moment it also seems that Fiorentina is experiencing a good performance too because basically, before the match starts also that Napoli and Fiorentina have the same points. But indeed, at least Napoli are playing at home and it can also be seen that Napoli can play well when considered from the statistics. But again and again, Napoli still failed to get good results in this home match. But yes, it maybe also right, that the players have psychological problems. Because after all, previously Napoli played with great exhaustion to play in the Champion League against Real Madrid, so that might have a bad impact on Napoli's performance in this match against Fiorentina.

Yes, I agree Napoli had a very tiring match against the strong team Real Madrid in the Champions League. And Fiorentina is also in good form. But Napoli still needs to improve, as they showed last season. In the last 5 matches, they only won 1 game. As a result, they are 7 points behind AC Milan after 8 rounds. Getting into the top 4 is difficult, let alone successfully defending the championship.
Last season, Luciano Spalletti helped Napoli return to the top of Italy after 33 years of waiting, but in the summer, He resigned because of disagreements with the club's upper management. Sadly, Napoli has lost its peak form.

[Weawant]

Napoli loosing to a weak side as like fiorentina is a thing of great concern, it's even worrisome that this happened at home and Napoli lost helpless by three goals, Napoli has had a healthy start at the beginning of the season but then it's gradually looking like Napoli is declining with their performance ever since after the whole issues with osimhen and the team, it's been awful.

Some times we may want to blame it on the coach but then the players have a fair share of the blame too as they weren't enthusiastic enough with the game against fiorentina considering they were at home in front of their fans which would have been enough motivation for them to perform even better and get a draw in the worse case, Napoli is a big team enough against fiorentina especially in their home.

Napoli now happens to be a step below fiorentina on the table with fourteen points, they may have to work even hard to get ahead because other teams ahead are even stronger, I don't think they could make it winners of the league title this season if they continue with this recent performance.

In the game between Inter Milan and Bologna in this week, a sad thing happened for Inter Milan and they lost two points against Bologna by a 2-2 result they got in this match.
Bologna couldn't perform well and Inter Milan had a much better performance in the game we saw from them, one goal from Bologna was from a penalty kick and this team was motivated enough to have a comeback and score another goal against Inter Milan.
Now Inter Milan got 19 points in the eight games they had.

It was a surprised match for Bologna to equalized the goal 2-2 to reduced the strength of Inter Milan in the second half, because they didn't prepared well like the way they played their last match to defeated their opponent to embraced the victory. I think, Bologna coach is doing a great job in this season because their players are doing well to showcased their talent in the front of the big teams, and to make people feel surprised at the end of the match, like what they did to Napoli that made Napoli president and their coach to get hangry with Victor Osimhen based on the opportunity he missed. I believe Inter Milan will definitely win their next match to improve their points, because they really dominated well despite Bologna struggle to scored the second goal to draw the match in the home of Inter Milan.

Bologna was not a weak team. People are predicting it wrongly and i guess that if majority of bettors have their choice for intermilan and their bet were collapsed together. The big clubs shall always be careful when they meet some clubs like sassuolo and bologna.
These clubs are giant killers. I remember that acmilan was always struggling when it faces bologna and the same thing is now happening with intermilan. Inter was dominating the ball possession but it does have so many inaccurate shoots.
It can be seen from how many missed shoots by intermilan against bologna. intermilan needs to increase its accuracy when doing attack against bologna.

The fast goal from lautaro martinez and acerbia was not enough in helping milan to win the game against it. Intermilan shall have learned a lot from the match against bologna.
The team like sassuolo and bologna made the competition become even more interesting.

I totally agree with you. In Serie A, both Milan teams are leading the standings. The competition is tight, with only 4 points separating the top 4 teams. Napoli is struggling to find their form, suffering a 3-1 defeat against Fiorentina recently. The resignation of Luciano Spalletti might have impacted their performance. Last season was a perfect time for Osimhen to consider leaving the club, but he stay. Osimhen's peak form is crucial for Napoli, highlighting his importance as a star player.

It's too early for us to say about the champions because this season is still very long, but Napoli's performance is currently in a very bad state after a series of bad results they have suffered, making it increasingly difficult for this team to recover, especially after the arrival of the new coach, we see that the performance of the Napoli team is no longer there. Well organized again, it is natural that many people are pessimistic about Napoli this season, but we also have to remember that the current squad in the Napoli team is not much different from last season, so it is possible at any time for them to recover.

Napoli are really missing the ir former manager Luciano Spalletti,  and it's not too late for them to recall him for bring in a better manager that would atleast help the team to secure the top 4 position cause they're really struggling to pick a good form and be consistent under Rudi Garcia, his game play is not helping the team and the team lack a good connection on the pitch and are affected by it.

 I also free there's a dressing situation that affecting them as well, cause a good number of Snr players have fall out with the manager and that really a big problem cause most time such players would end up not following the coaches instructions especially when they're not winning games.

That's what at least of my concerns about Osimhen in the last transfer window, because if I consider the scudetto results from the previous two or three seasons like when Inter and then Milan get the scudetto. But for the season after that, they also failed to defend the title. Therefore, I think when Osimhen chose to stay at Napoli it might be an inappropriate decision. Because anyway, if Napoli performance declines too then at least it will also have a bad impact on Osimhen market price which is likely to decline. So yes, because now this has happened, then I think when there is a team that will recruit Osimhen in the January transfer window, then I think it would be better to accept it. Because anyway, basically Napoli will also not be able to recover quickly, so it's useless if Osimhen stays at Napoli.

From the start, I actually didn't really see that Napoli's performance would be able to dominate Serie A again and maybe they would just experience a season that wasn't the same as before. The defeat against Fiorentina in front of fans proves that Napoli is not as scary as before and I think that in the future Napoli will still be unstable. The winning streak that Napoli had like last season will no longer exist this season and instead it is likely that the Milan duo will take their place this season.

In my opinion, only Fiorentina is able to eliminate Napoli from the top 4 and for Atalanta I don't think they can remember that sometimes this team often loses important momentum. So, if most people have hopes that Napoli can repeat its success like last season, I hope they can put it aside and occasionally avoid betting on Napoli's victory against a team that is quite strong or comparable.

I would have guessed that they would do fine, not really like dominate or anything but I assumed that they would be able to do fine. This didn't happen of course and we ended up with a lot worse than I expected. I thought something around the top four would have been their situation, plus I assumed that maybe they could have done a little better by just putting their talents together again and fight for that top spot as well but none of that happened.

I expected them to be maybe just a little bit worse, not dominate like they did last year, but I also didn't expected them to be this bad neither, this is way too bad for what they have done last year and it's bad for a team to get worse in just a single season as well.
