Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[topbitcoin]

There is no problem indeed for Napoli players because most of the players are still the same as before because they also did not overhaul the players on a large scale which made the composition of the players remain the same, it's just that I agree with you when saying the problem in management. It's an undeniable fact that Rudi's quality can't compete with Spalletti's even though the scheme and players are the same but when the touch is different then the results will also be different.

In addition, the internal also heated up a little some time ago even though it has been dampened but the internal problems that occurred in Osimhen must be slightly reduced now so that Napoli has a much better condition in terms of communication.

However, in football the influence of the coach's tactics is very large in determining the performance of a team and it cannot be denied that Rudi Garcia's tactics do not seem to suit the current Napoli players so there is a very big difference in the Napoli team's game when compared to last season. coached by Spalletti.

And it is true that the team's problems with Osimhen also have an impact on this star player, especially with the team's performance becoming increasingly consistent, making speculation that Osimhen no longer feels at home in the Napoli team and wants to leave, I think that's a natural thing.

Actually in terms of tactics, I think this is not too big a difference when Spalletti and Rudi Garcia especially if you look at the formations and schemes carried out, Rudi Garcia actually only tried to adapt Spalletti's strategy last season, it's just that in this case there is a difference where the execution of the strategy carried out due to the shortcomings of Garcia himself.
It is difficult to equalize performance when coaches are different because even though the players and schemes are the same, the execution is clearly different and this makes the results different.

Even for personal problems, this is definitely an obstacle and could become a problem in the future but when they are both serious about wanting something good for the team, it will definitely be muted.

Actually in terms of tactics, I think this is not too big a difference when Spalletti and Rudi Garcia especially if you look at the formations and schemes carried out, Rudi Garcia actually only tried to adapt Spalletti's strategy last season, it's just that in this case there is a difference where the execution of the strategy carried out due to the shortcomings of Garcia himself.

Tactic is only one component and there are many things in a club. Napoli won Scudetto in the last season when they were an underdog but do you think they are still an underdog in this season?

They are not and clubs in Serie A no longer consider Napoli like this. Even if Spaletti is still in their club, Kim Min Jae did not move to Bayern Munich, Napoli will have bigger difficulties in this season. It's hard for them and any champion to defend their trophy.

It is difficult to equalize performance when coaches are different because even though the players and schemes are the same, the execution is clearly different and this makes the results different.

Rudi Garcia has a bigger task than Spaletti and he is carrying more pressure than Spaletti too. He is a good coach but left Europe a few seasons to work in Saudi Arabia and with this return to Europe, participate in Serie A, he is facing with a big mission. First he must adopt to Serie A a second time and second he must help Napoli to win Scudetto again. In history, Napoli has never won two Scudetto titles in two consecutive seasons. So requiring them to achieve it in this season is somewhat too much.

Do you still remember Olivier Giroud's actions as goalkeeper in the match against Genoa? The reason is that his name was included in the Serie A player of the week in matchweek 8 and it certainly surprised people because this time he played not as a striker but as a goalkeeper.


We know very well that when Mike Maignan received a red card, Olivier Giroud decided to become Milan's goalkeeper and he managed to make brilliant saves before the match was over. Olivier Giroud even got a score of 6.5 as goalkeeper in last week's Serie A player of the week. I think Serie A knows how to give appreciation to players who have succeeded in saving their team from unsatisfactory results and still for me it is a pleasant entertainment to see Olivier Giroud as goalkeeper.

[Weawant]

It will be a serious battle because both clubs are very strong right now. But I think that Milan will win not only because they will play at home, but also because Milan have only one defeat this season, and all other matches have been won. Of course you can't analyse this game on these indicators, but I think that Milan are much stronger now.

The match between AC Milan vs Juventus will be a very interesting match to watch, because apart from Milan who will try to win at home, Milan is also very determined to maintain its position at the top of the standings in order to create an early gap with its rivals. But Juventus also should not be underestimated because this season Juventus also did not suffer many defeats so Milan needs to take opponents like Juventus more seriously, because Juventus will also try to take full points at home to Milan in order to be in the title competition this season.

Milan will be relying on the home advantage to hopefully secure a win in the game against Juventus but then they are really going to have a tough time as Juventus will definitely put up a strong resistance to their tactics, Juventus currently don't have a very stable play style but I hope they will be to get a good force against Milan because Milan is currently in their best form.

Milan been at the top of the table at this time is something they will not be willing to give up considering their form now as it's really sound, they have vibrant energy enough with their attack and a sound midfield and playing from home aswell so I'm yet to spot a weakness with Wich Juventus will feast on as an advantage as Juventus has not been the best recently, they are at the forth position on the table as compared to their form last season.

I think this is the right thing to do for Garcia because why change a running system as it is called?

But a lot of people underestimate variance and motivation in football. There are mountain climbers who say that climbing the same mountain for a second time is harder than the first time. Despite having additional experience, the excitement and motivation the first time is so high that it is difficult to reach the same mental heights when climbing up a mountain the second time. I think this is one of the effects kicking in here. Before the season started, the Napoli players knew already that it can hardly be better than last season. That can have a demotivating effect.

[Hirose UK]

When the match week arrives, I think there will be one match that everyone will be looking forward to as much as I am, and that is the result of Milan vs Juventus. Milan has started really well this year and there is an important obstacle for them to continue this good start. This obstacle is not an easy one. Milan, which continues to lead the league with 7 wins in 8 matches, will want to win this match and continue its leadership. We can say that it won't be an easy match for both teams, but I think Juventus is the more advantageous team, even if we think that they don't have the advantage. The reason is that Milan will travel to PSG 3 days after this match. We can think that Juventus will focus more on the match because it is not a European Cup match. Considering that Milan has 2 draws in the champions league group, they will have to focus more on the PSG match if they want to get out of the group.

Currently Milan is at the top of the standings in the Italian league with 21 points while Juventus is in third place with 17 points, only 4 points different from Milan and next week Milan will face a difficult match in a short time, of course it be a difficult job for Stefano Pioli because Milan must try hard not to lose points in the match with these two clubs, but I am sure that Stefano Pioli has prepared a mature strategy to face this match, winning the Italian league title and qualifying for the next round in the Champions League is a tough jobs for Milan and The Milan squad must be able to appear impressive in this matches.

Milan have shown how they can improve with the very good results they have achieved this season and from every win that Milan gets it can be said that they really really want to be close to the title this season.
Yes in the future Milan will have 3 quite difficult matches not only in the Italian League but also the UCL match for the Italian League they will face Juventus and Napoli while for the UCL they will face PSG but at the moment PSG is not in good condition.

Stefano Pioli is coach who has lot of experience in European football and he has of course prepared everything including really mature strategy to stay on top and always win in every match.

[hahay]

It will be a serious battle because both clubs are very strong right now. But I think that Milan will win not only because they will play at home, but also because Milan have only one defeat this season, and all other matches have been won. Of course you can't analyse this game on these indicators, but I think that Milan are much stronger now.

The match between AC Milan vs Juventus will be a very interesting match to watch, because apart from Milan who will try to win at home, Milan is also very determined to maintain its position at the top of the standings in order to create an early gap with its rivals. But Juventus also should not be underestimated because this season Juventus also did not suffer many defeats so Milan needs to take opponents like Juventus more seriously, because Juventus will also try to take full points at home to Milan in order to be in the title competition this season.

At least I agree about Milan having a chance to win in this match against Juventus, because Milan so far only lost by Inter. But yes, for other matches Milan is very smooth with the three points it managed to get. While about Juventus, even though this season Juventus only plays in Serie A, but the fact is Juventus is still inconsistent to get good results in every match so far this season. Because after all, from 8 matches that have been played, in fact Juventus have 2 draw and 1 defeat. So yes, of course Milan have a chance to win in this match although indeed, of course it will not be easy for Milan to beat Juventus but Milan have a chance to get three points in this match.

[masulum]

At least I agree about Milan having a chance to win in this match against Juventus, because Milan so far only lost by Inter.

Even though Juventus is currently in poor form, I think there is a chance for them to win. You are right about Milan is quite consistent at the moment, even though they lost to Inter Milan. But, I think Milan must be wary of Juventus' strategy. Because, AC Milan is quite dependent on Krunic, Leao, Giroud if they are successfully marked by Juventus players and cannot move freely, maybe Milan will have difficulty winning the match.

[Pulsar77]

I don't think Juventus will be able to steal points from Milan in that match. Milan are in a much better condition right now. They are the most performing team in the league even better than Inter I mean. I don't think Milan would get even a draw against Juventus while they are in-form.

Juventus have also started well to the season. The previous season was really problematic for them you know. They were even banned from European competitions for this season. After all these incidents Allegri still managed to make a good start with the team. But I doubt them a lot in San Siro. 

[Doell]

The odds for the Milan - Juventus game are like this:

Milan: 2.30   Juventus: 3.20

Maybe the odds would have been a little closer to each other but it is still fair I think. Because Milan have won all of their home games so far and they are in the lead in the standings as well. They only lost to Inter which was a really huge one. But it still didn't affect them much mentally. That has been the only point loss for them so far. They just can't underestimate Juventus on one hand because Juventus are also impressive this season. If we see the usual Milan they should at least be winning by one goal. 

Odds @2.30 are really good, and I think it seems quite worthy if betting on Milan. Also, on the other side, this season Juventus has lost when playing away against Sassuolo. So it seems there is a possibility that Milan will win and successfully secure the three points, at home Milan is very consistent and I personally believe Milan can win but I agree with you maybe not with big score.

[hahay]

Even though Juventus is currently in poor form, I think there is a chance for them to win. You are right about Milan is quite consistent at the moment, even though they lost to Inter Milan. But, I think Milan must be wary of Juventus' strategy. Because, AC Milan is quite dependent on Krunic, Leao, Giroud if they are successfully marked by Juventus players and cannot move freely, maybe Milan will have difficulty winning the match.

Basically I said Milan had a chance to win, and I didn't say Milan would definitely win. Because anyway, I will also certainly still realize that Juventus are not a weak team and of course, even though Juventus are not favorites in this match, but of course Juventus also still have a chance to win but the chance can be said to be low. Therefore, maybe the inconsistency factor of Juventus so far makes Juventus not a favorite to win this match so of course, from the odds factor it also shows that Milan is quite, yes quite projected to win but not for sure.

That's a difficult decision to place a bet I think as there is still a draw which I think is not an unlikely outcome. This bet is probably in vain as soon as Juventus is able to take the lead because then they will try everything to slow down the game and let the clock run down. The risk that Juventus scores is quite high as they are in good enough shape to actually score. I agree that Juventus Turin may not win, but the draw is the result that would keep me from betting on an AC Milan win.

Actually in terms of tactics, I think this is not too big a difference when Spalletti and Rudi Garcia especially if you look at the formations and schemes carried out, Rudi Garcia actually only tried to adapt Spalletti's strategy last season, it's just that in this case there is a difference where the execution of the strategy carried out due to the shortcomings of Garcia himself.

First he must adopt to Serie A a second time and second he must help Napoli to win Scudetto again. In history, Napoli has never won two Scudetto titles in two consecutive seasons. So requiring them to achieve it in this season is somewhat too much.

I've just read from Fabrizio Romano about Napoli in contact to give Antonio Conte a job, this got me asking how is Rudi Garcia a good coach, drooping off important players that would help him win games. I'm still worried about the club and it's policies, with how they behave almost like Tottenham Hotspur. It takes from now till they kingdom comes before they get to seal a deal.
Antonio should let them know his policies since he will be abiding to theirs.
Antonio Conte will make sure they turn the tides around, he hasn't been successful with these Italian clubs in the Champions League.

All two clubs, Juventus crumbled against Barcelona during that finals. Inter Milan also. Will he be successful with Napoli? Having a good coach like Antonio Conte will tie Osimhen down to the club.

They just can't underestimate Juventus on one hand because Juventus are also impressive this season. If we see the usual Milan they should at least be winning by one goal. 

The match will be very interesting, both teams that will meet will target victory to maintain their position. The chances given are almost equal and a draw is very likely in this match. But I am worried about AC Milan, I mean when they face strong and balanced teams they usually struggle and they seem confused about what to do. We saw that in their match against Inter Milan.
I just hope that won't happen to them in this match, because it will be very detrimental to them. If they can't win, then even 1 point is very valuable in a big match like this.

If I look at and differentiate between these two clubs, I think Milan's chances will be slightly superior to Juventus because in the history of meetings between these two clubs, Milan is still very superior and I don't doubt Juventus because this club also has a very good performance this season, unlike last season. .
But there is still a chance of a draw in this match because Juventus is stronger than last season and we can see its improvement after consistently getting 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss and is currently in 3rd place in the points table.
For this match overall it will be a very strong match and the competition will be very fierce as you said we can't be too sure about Milan or we can bet on other options which are less risky.

[shogun47]

Still we can't say that Garcia's failure is the fault of Napoli's performance. In fact, last season Napoli won the title with a great performance, so our expectations from Napoli this season are very high. But just because Napoli won the title last season, it cannot be said that Napoli will win the title this season too. Inter Milan, Juventus and AC Milan have stronger squads than Napoli. And they have performed well this season. And so naturally Napoli fell behind. I consider it a typical Napoli performance.
Garcia needs more time to stabilize the team. Garcia did not get a chance to build the squad to his liking. I'd say Garcia, given enough time and opportunities, can bring stability to Napoli's performance. However, Napoli are not favorites for this season's title.

You may have a point about giving Garcia time but will the board and fabs be willing to exercise much patience with him? Don't you think that was the main reason behind Luciano Spalletti throwing in the towel after winning the Scudetto last season?

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?

I somewhat agree with you. Napoli's performance is slightly weaker than last season. But their performance is very weak? I don't think so. Napoli have lost only two matches out of 8 matches. Although they lost against Madrid in the Champions League match, they won the match 3–2. Not too many poor performances from Napoli. And so changing coaches cannot be a solution now. No one can guarantee that Napoli's performance will not deteriorate further if a new coach is appointed. That's why I think the Napoli management should trust Garcia. And he should be given more opportunities. It would not be the right decision to change coaches so quickly.

That game was damn close between Napoli and Real Madrid and it would only be fair to say that Napoli could have won the game as well. They have had more shots on target and were equal in all other statistics. They even had a 90% passing accuracy against an opponent like Real Madrid. One thing that is quite different from last season is the results. Their game isn't that much weaker although I have to say that sometimes the game isn't as determined as it was last season. They do struggle in some moments during the game while last season they often had full control over the game. But the season is still very young and I would not exclude them from the favorites for the title.

This is a good news for Napoli fans cause Antonio Conte has more experience in the Italian League than Rudi Garcia whos incompetent of handling the top players of the team and falling out with them in the dressing room, I'm still wondering what the board saw in Rudi Garcia that made them give him the managerial position and have even allowed him to stay up till this point when it's obvious that he's incompetent and lead the club to success this season.

 Well there's no 100% assurance that Conte would succeed if he finally replaces Rudi Garcia but atleast he's got a better experience in the league and there's a very high tendency that he has lots to offer to the club and take them to a better position this season I  also believe his management would be more better and he'll handle his players properlym

[Texac]

Even though Juventus is currently in poor form, I think there is a chance for them to win. You are right about Milan is quite consistent at the moment, even though they lost to Inter Milan. But, I think Milan must be wary of Juventus' strategy.

I will actually say that Juventus and Milan both have a chance to win in this match. Milan definitely performing consistently right now. So we cannot deny the fact that they will probably be the favorite going into this match against Juventus. Both of the teams also have the same goal difference as well. So it is also definitely very hard to actually say which team is going to win. But I think we can say one thing which is both of the teams are probably going to score in this match. Both of them did very well score, a good amount of goals so far in this season. Could there be a draw? Maybe. but I wouldn’t like to see a goal less draw.

Napoli has been shackled this season, failing to win crucial games that would have helped them become serious contenders for the scudetto. The new manager, Rudi Garcia, is unfamiliar to the Italian football system and has made zero contributions to the club's improvements. He is likely planning to do so for the club, but it is considered too late because Napoli president, Aurelio De Laurentiis, has conferred with Antonio Conte for bids to take over, but no agreement has been reached because Conte has other priorities to accomplish.

[Mr.right85]

Yes it true that Napoli President is considering his options during the international break as the team has struggled under Rudi Garcia. Conte has a good record in Italy but honestly I think Conte need to chill and redefine his style of football, else, his time at any club would end the Chelsea and Tottenham way. Football has modernize and we saw how Napoli played with fluidity last season when they won the Scudetto. I think Conte will somehow affect the fluidity of the team.

[Jossque]

When the match week arrives, I think there will be one match that everyone will be looking forward to as much as I am, and that is the result of Milan vs Juventus. Milan has started really well this year and there is an important obstacle for them to continue this good start. This obstacle is not an easy one. Milan, which continues to lead the league with 7 wins in 8 matches, will want to win this match and continue its leadership. We can say that it won't be an easy match for both teams, but I think Juventus is the more advantageous team, even if we think that they don't have the advantage. The reason is that Milan will travel to PSG 3 days after this match. We can think that Juventus will focus more on the match because it is not a European Cup match. Considering that Milan has 2 draws in the champions league group, they will have to focus more on the PSG match if they want to get out of the group.

This match will be an interesting match and I can't say which club will win the match, because none of these clubs should be underestimated with their performance. As we all know Milan is topping the table and they have shown how strong that they are this season by losing only to Inter. This makes it difficult for Juventus to win them even though, Milan will play in the Champions league before clashing with Juventus.

On the other hand Juventus is also strong and will do everything possible to take advantage of the match, if Milan performance is been affected in the champions league. I just hope to see who wins on that day.

Even though Milan are the favorites, it must be remembered that Juventus only play in the league. What I mean is that Juventus have no Champions League games to play and since they are comfortable with that, they will field their players fully. Milan will probably rotate and rest some players, of course we will find out on match day. It is difficult to predict who will win or what exactly will happen in the match because teams send players to the national teams and maybe they will get injured there. Since this is all a possibility, we will know exactly on the day of the match when the squads are finalized.
