Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Arenga pinnata]

Actually, I have already stated some of my opinions in other threads, but here perhaps more people will provide opinions to strengthen my beliefs.
I have a little doubt about Napoli who will play against Verona and my doubts always focus on their mainstay player, Victor Osimhen, who currently looks erratic or inconsistent, has had a slight decline in performance and I doubt if Napoli can win this away match even though Verona is considered not very strong but they got home advantage and had the opportunity to use a defensive strategy and end the match in a draw.
I'm worried that a surprise will happen in this match while I also placed a bet on this match.

I don't even plan to bet on Napoli winning that match. Because Napoli, who will not be strengthened by Osimhen, will clearly experience a decline in building attacks. For me, this match is more likely to end in a draw. Osimhen's injury will clearly have a big impact. Even though Osimhen will only be absent in the next 3 matches. But Napoli will definitely have difficulties in these 3 matches. Because they are used to relying on Osimhen at the spearhead of their attacks.

And Napoli's performance was even a little disappointing in their last match. like when Napoli had to accept defeat at home to Fiorentina. I think this has made everyone start to doubt this team's performance this season. Because usually Napoli are unbeatable when playing as hosts. But this season is completely different.

@Arenga I personally feel that one should avoid wagering on Napoli because they’re in complete mess and I’m not surprised if their decline continues. Furthermore I’m eagerly waiting for Victor to leave the club because he deserves a better club who values him and matches his ambitions and sadly Napoli is no longer that club and lastly I’m hoping that he can secure a transfer away as early as the January transfer window.

Fiorentina have been one of the team on the rise as you know. Their next game is going to be against Empoli home. I already see a win there for Fiorentina honestly. Empoli changed their manager a short time ago but I don't expect this to make them resist Fiorentina strongly here. They would need some time to recover.

Fiorentina beat even Napoli away recently and they are in great shape now. They can even be in the race for top 4 this season if they keep this form during the first half of the season.

I was pleasantly surprised by Fiorentina, this team is playing really well. Prandelli had also said not to underestimate the Fiorentina, that the team was growing significantly and was experimenting with new tactical forms and strategies. You can see, I would like to say, they beat Napoli.

Therefore, basically Juventus does not seem to have healthy management because obviously, with so many problems that happen will certainly have an impact on team performance . After all, the fact is Juventus also had a good performance last season but unfortunately, with the point deduction penalty that Juventus experienced last season .

They have good management and strategies that make them a greatest club in Italy. Their participation in Superb League project harms them a lot and I believe punishment they got from EUFA actually comes from their intention to join Superb League project. The doping case of Pogba is unexpected but what happened with Fagioli is like personal issue of the player.

Generally Juventus will have many difficulties in this season even they got Chiesa back. I disagree with Juventus with their treatment on Bonucci as he is one of their legendary players. I don't know their internal issues but on tip of iceberg, with what I saw, I can not agree with Juventus as they should give Bonucci more respect from all contributions he made for them.

Of course, made Juventus look like they did not have a big motivation to compete stronger and better in the top four . Also at this moment, although Juventus is only focused on Serie A but in fact, I judge that Juventus is stillnot completely good at this moment.

They can complete this season in top four and return to Champions League. It is their biggest task in this season as Champions League will be like a money milk source for them. With Juventus, be able to join Champions League can help their finance a lot as their finance is still affected by Covid 19.

Playing at home against Empoli, who are currently in the relegation zone, is certainly a very good moment for Fiorentina to get three points again. After all, basically I also never underestimate Fiorentina because yes, I still remember very well when in the past Fiorentina had a very good form too when there was still Batistuta. So yes, because I am aware of history, I never underestimated Fiorentina until now. Until finally, this season Fiorentina managed to regain their best form and currently Fiorentina can also compete in the top four and of course that is a great development that Fiorentina has managed to have this season.

The truth is that Napoli are currently in declining in form and recently the most lethal weapon which is the club's striker Victor Osimhen picked up an injury while he was in playing for his country Nigeria during the FIFA international break.
That being said, I don't think Napoli are now a finished club that can't still deliver good results. They play away against Verona tomorrow and I'm optimistic that Napoli will win that very game.

Fiorentina was able to play well against Empoli because Empoli is a very weak team and they lost a few days ago with Roma, 7-0.  But Fiorentina can be a strong team and can't beat Napoli easily.  Napoli is a popular team in the Italian league who always lead the points table every time. So beating Napoli will be a huge challenge for Fiorentina. But Fiorentina has done it this time.  Fiorentina has also overtaken Napoli in the points table. Napoli look very weak this time

 

When a player is suspended, the whole team is informed and when a club has been confronted with it many times in the past, they have an intense way of controlling it all. And everyone knows the story of juventus and the scandal and the relegation to Serie B, this fear mybe still exists in the management. In the last season the point deduction, 2x, and now it continues with the players. It is like being unwell, which leads in many cases to a turbulence, so no extreme good performances as a team. How would you feel if you were supended from your dream of being a soccer player, not good, and mybe the team also.

Not everything can depend on the team, if the management does some kind of financial fraud, then the players may not even be informed about it, but in the end everyone suffers (when the team was sent to Serie B).

Also, the team cannot control players who may use doping, of their own free will or with any medications. In this case, the player, and not the entire team, will be responsible for his actions.

Juventus is playing better this season and I even hoped that they would be able to compete for the Scudetto, but now Alegre is involved in a scandal with bets, and he faces disqualification for 3 years. This looks like a lack of discipline in the team and not due to some kind of bad luck.

Therefore, basically Juventus does not seem to have healthy management because obviously, with so many problems that happen will certainly have an impact on team performance . After all, the fact is Juventus also had a good performance last season but unfortunately, with the point deduction penalty that Juventus experienced last season . Of course, made Juventus look like they did not have a big motivation to compete stronger and better in the top four . Also at this moment, although Juventus is only focused on Serie A but in fact, I judge that Juventus is stillnot completely good at this moment. What's more, iffor example Juventus have another problem this season or at this moment, then I sure Juventus will again decline in performance and quality this season and it is inevitable if for example Juventus have another problem.

Juventus' performance in this league is still good now.  But sometimes their performance is seen to drop a lot.  In the game of football, it is natural that no team will be able to win the match all the time.  Juventus is in the 3rd position in the points table so far.  However, Milan and Inter are playing very well this time and they are still ahead of Juventus by many points. If Juventus pay more attention to their performance  they will be able to do better. this trust can be placed on them

Why do we even speak about Empoli here ? This team is a disgrace for Serie A right now with only 1 goal scored and I wouldn't be surprised if another round of illegal betting or something similar will emerge and Empoli name will be on that list because lets be honest here , we are talking about one of the strongest internal championships in Europe and after 8 games it's not normal for a team to have only 1 goal scored. Anyway , I'm certain Empoli will relegate by the end of the season as there are a few really strong teams who deserve a chance to Serie A.

I was pleasantly surprised by Fiorentina, this team is playing really well. Prandelli had also said not to underestimate the Fiorentina, that the team was growing significantly and was experimenting with new tactical forms and strategies. You can see, I would like to say, they beat Napoli.

Early on, Fiorentina is growing rapidly but will this only be at the beginning or be able to maintain until the end of the season? I say it's still very difficult for Fiorentina.
Previously beating Napoli away from home was of course a surprise let alone winning 1-3 Fiorentina are now in a new form as well as with the strategy, I think this might be a good start, if they continue to be able to beat equal opponents why it is not possible to continue to survive until half of the season.

[giammangiato]

If there is any intention to have Osimhen stay with Napoli beyond this season, then putting him on the bench would be a pretty bad idea as he would lose market value and he would lose interest in further negotiating with Napoli. That is why I am sure that as soon as he is available again, he won't spend any time on the bench unless it is necessary for reasons like recovery and slowly getting him back into the game. I think the chances for Giovanni Simeone to take the first role against Osimhen are very small. There is too much risk and potential damage involved for such a decision.

It is a bad situation, I myself am very disappointed with what happened and I am not a Napoli fan
when these things happen we really feel sad for sport, in the end even if we support a different team we love sport and good matches
knowing that a good player is afflicted and cannot give his best is very sad and greatly disappoints those who love sport

It was quite surprising indeed for Fiorentina with its development this season, and also defeated the Serie A champion last season with a very high point namely Napoli with a score of 3-1, V.italiano really gave a very significant change to Fiorentina this season very well.
But I am still doubtful, because now it can still be calculated into the session of the start of the season, which, if Fiorentina cannot reduce its development continuously, the strategy will be easy to guess and break by other teams.

While Napoli itself can be said to experience a downturn at the beginning of this season, because its competitors are getting stronger and continue to grow, I will give a little prediction that for the end of this season Napoli will not get the glory like last season.

[wmaurik]

I also think so and in my opinion it is better to avoid betting on this match, it is very risky to bet on an inconsistent team like Napoli especially since the betting market is very favorable towards them.
From what happened in Napoli's last few matches and also Victor Osimhen's inconsistent performance, everything is possible to happen in this weekend's match against Verona, and it is true that Verona's quality is not better than Napoli, but the consistency of a team is very crucial, and I try to avoid betting on this match, I think it's better.

There are plenty of other matches to bet on if you are hesitant to bet on the Verona vs Napoli match, and it looks like there won't be any more matches this week in Serie A than Milan and Juventus. But I will also enjoy some of the matches for tomorrow in Serie A even though I don't place bets anywhere because tomorrow there are only three matches in Serie A with opponents who are not quite evenly matched in strength so there won't be any matches that might be more exciting.

The Milan vs Juventus match is more than enough for a week I think. As you can't have these encounters between the best all the time throughout a season, this game promises a lot of action although I think that most would bet on AC Milan at this stage of the season? But I am not too sure as Juventus Turin is able to play on a different level when needed although they lack consistency for quite a while now. But this doesn't mean that this game can't turn into a great thriller for every football fan. It could be quiet, but it could also end with a lot of cards and goals.

Reasonable if you are worried because Napoli performance this season is far from expectations, and their main striker is currently injured, Verona can also often make a surprise against Napoli. Even in the previous match, when Napoli vs Verona I mean the both teams met, Napoli couldn't win against Verona. But this is an important match for their new coach, if they can't win in this match there might be lots of screaming Napoli fans insulting him. So I think Rudi will make a lot of efforts to win in that match.

With their success in beating Napoli, I think Fiorentina can maintain their performance until the end of the season. Fiorentina recorded a promising performance in eight matches, five wins, two draws and one loss, they have the same points as Juventus, so this could be the reason that they seem to be able to consistently be in the top four until the end of the season.

On the other hand, Napoli still has a chance to maintain the Scudetto, or most realistically finish in the top four of the standings, but they must be able to compete with Fiorentina for the UCL zone. On the other hand, Roma and Lazio are still inconsistent with their performances, so this could provide an opportunity for Fiorentina to fight for the top four positions in the standings until the end of the season.

That depends on how consistent the performance from fiorentina. So far so good. There's no huge decline was happening to the fiorentina's performance at this moment. Im not even caring about fiorentina as this potentially to go up. Empoli is in a critical situation.
It's now on the relegation zone and im sure empoli will be relegated if it will keep lose till the middle of season. The gap to non relegation position is quite big. Empoli, cagliari, udinese and salernitana are teams who probably relegated this season. There will be a team who able to leave from the relegation zone. The way for empoli to make it becomes even far harder. We have another important match to be discussed. Fiorentina will beat empoli with good margins.
There's no doubt in me regarding the result from the match. Im sure that almost all of people are picking fiorentina at this moment. Some people may also make a small bet for empoli to try their luck. 
Empoli really needs three points this time. The way for empoli to win even a single game becomes even harder than before.

The match against Verona should be relatively easy for Napoli but the problem for them is that Napoli's performance is not consistent. Napoli is the 5th team in the points table and Verona is the 16th team in the points table. Still, betting on Napoli in this match is a bit risky because even if Napoli does not lose a point in this match, they can draw. In Serie A they have won only two matches in the last five months and they have lost one match and drawn the other two matches in the statistics of the last five matches are not good at all. Betting on a team that has only won two of their last five matches is definitely a bit risky so it might be a good idea to avoid betting on this match.

[SOKO-DEKE]

Empoli can't have any chance against Fiorentina even if they are in their best form, still, Fiorentina is a team they didn't lose a game in the last five games they had and Fiorentina is also in fourth place in the Serie A. I think the rates for this game are fair enough to bet on Fiorentina against Empoli and take less risk.

Imagine that this will be an easy match for Fiorentina because the two teams are in very different conditions, in five matches the bad results experienced by Fiorentina were only 1 draw while Empoli in five matches could only win 1x and draw 1x, and it is very possible that this will become empoli's seventh defeat this season from 9 matches.
Fiorentina doesn't even have difficulty getting 3 points when facing Napoli, especially when facing Empoli, what can prevent Fiorentina from getting 3 points is if one of their players gets a red card, or if they underestimate their opponent so they are caught off guard and Empoli gets the opportunity to attack and score goals, but my prediction is that Fiorentina will score more than two goals in the ninth week of the match.

I don't even see empoli in any form that they will be lucky to win Fiorentina; in fact,  I see the match as an easy match for Fiorentina to win with easy efforts. Seriously, empoli performances are too bad to compare with Fiorentina currently. Sometimes football happens in a surprising way. Wish is the only way I believe empoli can have it, but on normal ground, comparing both teams. performances recently show that Fiorentina will be the winner. But let's see what happens. Maybe we are going to see a surprise result at the end of the game.

[iBaba]

@Arenga I personally feel that one should avoid wagering on Napoli because they’re in complete mess and I’m not surprised if their decline continues. Furthermore I’m eagerly waiting for Victor to leave the club because he deserves a better club who values him and matches his ambitions and sadly Napoli is no longer that club and lastly I’m hoping that he can secure a transfer away as early as the January transfer window.

Exactly my thoughts too. What's the essence of being in a club that tends to disregard you and does not feel sorry about it. Like some dudes in a record label where you will be oppressed after carelessly signing some contacts? Osimhen deserves more than he gets from Napoli because it's not just all about money.

The President of Napoli, De Laurentiis also opined that if he was the one, he would have requested that the former club pays the club in the form of compensation per day whenever the club plays any match with out the player citing Neymar incident as an example.

I don't even plan to bet on Napoli winning that match. Because Napoli, who will not be strengthened by Osimhen, will clearly experience a decline in building attacks. For me, this match is more likely to end in a draw. Osimhen's injury will clearly have a big impact. Even though Osimhen will only be absent in the next 3 matches. But Napoli will definitely have difficulties in these 3 matches. Because they are used to relying on Osimhen at the spearhead of their attacks.

I don't know why there seems to be some kind of arrogance from the president of Napoli, De Laurentiis on the issue of Victor Osimhen. I mean that guy have continued to shown his talent and striking prowess over the season but yet comments will be made about him as if his efforts are not well appreciated. Like I have continued to say, every player needs a morale booster at least to perform even better by nature, so is Victor Osimhen.

Now the player is injured and will be absent in the subsequent matches for three times before he can resume back to feet, yet the president makes discouraging comment on the player when he said that although they have agreed to sign a new deal but won't hesitate to release him should in case things go otherwise from the player's end. Like was that really necessary.

But this is an important match for their new coach, if they can't win in this match there might be lots of screaming Napoli fans insulting him. So I think Rudi will make a lot of efforts to win in that match.

The things that were feared one by one happened to Napoli, first their overall performance decreased and also Osimhen's outstanding performance last season also decreased, although not significantly but we can still see that it is true that he has decreased. This is normal in football, and indeed maintaining the impressive form they played in last season is more difficult than them stepping up from the bottom. Now the one who gets a lot of attention is their coach, and it is also very reasonable because after all a coach will be the first person to blame when a club's performance declines.
