Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Leviathan.007]

The new season is interesting, and I can see many teams experiencing what they didn't experience last season and it will make them not to achieve anything in this season. What is coming ahead to Napoli in their remaining games will surprise their fans, which it will cause them not to finish top 4 because Inter, AC Milan and Juventus are doing well in this new season and it makes them to look like the three teams that will dominate through out this tournament. I will like Inter to win this title to improve their strikers in a way big teams will like to show interest on them like the way many big teams are interested on Osimhen and Haaland which it will give their management more incomes.

It is possible to say that there is a serious difference between last season and this season. Last year we were talking about how well Napoli played and other teams were fighting for second place. The current situation is much different and every team has the potential to become champions.
We still have a long season ahead of us, but we can already say that one of the most competitive and entertaining leagues is Serie A

Yes, this season is not like last season when Napoli were absolute champions from the start of the season. Now we see serious competition between Milan, Inter and possibly Juventus and Fiorentina. But it seems to me that the Milan clubs will continue to compete for the top spot in the standings until the end of the season. There is a feeling that nobody will be able to catch up with them. It remains to be seen who will be the champion, Milan or Inter.

Everything changed for Napoli in Serie A and they are from the good form they had in the last season. In fact, they don't have the coach they had before, and some players like Osimhen are not in a good form to have the same performance as the last season because the whole team is in a good atmosphere and that's why Napoli is not getting good results like last season.

It might take a while before Napoli wins the Scudetto again, maybe it could happen if they're able to secure a coach like Spalletti that could help them win it again cause this coach has nothing to offer af the team and i feel he's not the right manager for the tesm they would've sack him when they got chace to, because of his incompetent strategy the title holders doesn't have good team spirit again and to make it worst their star player is currently injured.

 Alot of 1st team players might leave Napoli next season and that too wouod make it more tough for them to win  the title again,except they sign a good coach and recruit good players for him, but o doubt if they'll get a striker that would be as good as Osimhen if he leaves the club by summer.

I read a news of  a Monza player suspended for being positive to the test results of doppin just like Paul Pogba. What's with all these sad news.

In the context that Monza has just signed a contract. Current Monza midfielder Papu Gomez tested positive in an anti-doping test. There are rumors that he will be suspended for 2 years. The world anti-doping code applies to him from the day he was tested, so Gomez will lose the world championship and continental cup medals he won with Sevilla.

Will Papu Gomez receive a penalty for doping affect Argentina's 2022 World Cup championship?

[ginsan]

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.

Verona has not performed well in Serie A this season so the bigger odds are certainly good enough to bet on Napoli win in this match. I'm sure Napoli will be able to win this match because their opponents are so weak this week. But it is up to each individual if they think this match is difficult to determine better odds, of course skipping the bet on this match is the best choice. Indeed, Napoli suffered defeat in their previous match when they faced Fiorentina, even in that match Napoli were humiliated at home.

For Verona, maybe they can make a surprise in tomorrow's match if they are able to play better and are able to secure 3 points. But I think their chances are quite small in this match because the team they are facing has a fairly quality squad. Osimhen is the hope of Napoli fans to see them achieve victory in tomorrow's match. I think if Napoli lose again then Rudi Garcia position will be even more threatened after this match is over.

[Velvet78]

Osimhen will be out too.
They need to remove the national games during the season.

Make no sense to lose great players for this kind of games.

The can just play the national games after the season

Osimhen is really out due to thigh injury and we don't even know when he would be able to recover. This is horrible news for a Napoli which is trying to stand up and fight harder. Rudi Garcia can have a more difficult time in the attacking line from now on. He is already criticized for not being able to make an satisfying start.

Maybe they can still make progress and win smaller games without Osimhen. But as for the biggest games of the league this injury could cause them extra difficulty in dealing with those teams. They haven't even been able to deal with such teams in Osimhen's presence though.

The drama that happened in Napoli between Victor Osimhen and this team is getting bigger and there is the possibility for Victor Osimhen to leave the teams at the end of this season or even sooner during the winter, these all happened because of the TikTok account of Napoli and they had bad behavior with Osimhen.
But Aurelio De Laurentiis, the owner of Napoli didn't say anything against this payer and it seems he is still hoping to see Osimhen stay in Napoli.

Since spalletti and minjae have gone. The performance from napoli suffered a huge decline. This is also making the club was always struggling to win the game in the local league or european competitions . I do aware about how napoli is trying to defend the title for this season but it's unlikely to happen caused by the performance is always declining so hard. Im thinking about napoli can make everything better than before by recruiting a new coach with winner mentality. Garcia was not suitable for napoli at this moment.
I would prefer to see him to leave from there. Garcia is better to coaching the small club instead of big club at this moment. He has no capability to handle the big club. Small club is really suited for him at this moment. Im thinking about napoli will stuck in the same place due to the bad coach who was handling the club. Im still awaiting for the new candidate to be mentioned by napoli as a new coach since the club failed to recruit antonio conte as a new coach due to the his rejection to manage napoli.

In recent seasons there have been strong competitions in the Serie A. It's not like in other leagues where a particular team just runs off with the trophy while every other team battles for second place.
Last season was the only season in recent years where Napoli ran off with the league.
The problem with Italian teams is that they can all get inconsistent. Inter may be in a blistering form right now but a time might come when they'll struggle to win games. I hope that doesn't happen this season

There is always strong competition in the league, especially for the top 4 spots. I feel it's a little too early to judge. There's an 8-point difference between the 1st position and the 6th position. You never know how the season will turn out.

Maybe we can make an assessment once we get to the middle of the season. At this time, I still can't judge which team will compete for the title. But based on current data, of course Milan and Inter Milan are the strongest candidates. Fiorentina and Juventus may also have a chance. But if Napoli is able to return to its best performance, it still has a chance. It's just that in several matches Napoli will have difficulty without Osimhen. So Napoli could lose points in several of these matches and make it difficult for them to move up in the standings. Usually in the middle of the season the number of injured players will increase and that's when sometimes the top team will experience a decline and give other teams the opportunity to take the top position. The point is, there is still a lot to happen.

But Aurelio De Laurentiis, the owner of Napoli didn't say anything against this payer and it seems he is still hoping to see Osimhen stay in Napoli.

A number of big Premier League teams have been linked with Osimhen in the winter transfer window. They are Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea who are strongly linked with osimhen. I think osimhen will have a greater chance of leaving napoli in this winter's transfer window, especially if he doesn't seem to be appreciated by napoli after the video they uploaded to Tiktok account. I think many big teams will try to take advantage of osimhen relationship breakdown with napoli to tempt him to join the they in the winter transfer window.

I think if osimhen goes to the Premier League his career will definitely be even better, especially if he joins a strong team like arsenal and liverpool. But we'll see how napoli management keeps osimhen with them.

Just like Paul Pogba, now Papu Gomez will be faced with a 2 year ban from playing. The reason is that Papu Gomez is suspected of having used doping and the authority has given him a suspension during that time. Even though Papu Gomez denied this, saying he was sick and took one of his son's syrups without consulting him first, could this reason make sense?

Doping and gambling. These are the problems faced by so many serie a players soon. Im expecting more players to be suspected from doing one of those things. We have not yet seen the result from some players.
Pogba ban, fagioli ban, Papu ban, more to come like zaniolo ban, tonalli ban and many more.   The hell was wrong with serie a these days? I can't even describe that how this league just like a commedy with so many players to be banned soon.
Being positive in the doping test is the result and he shall have accepted it whatever the reason is.

Papu Gomez is Monza's newest recruit in September last month with free agent status and he is currently 35 years old, meaning his career at Monza will soon be over. I don't know what makes players in Serie A often get into problems and this makes their league look bad if the same problems continue to arise.

Monza can at least decrease its salary cap by having papu to leave from the club temporary. His contract is not that long and i think that it's not a lose for monza. Monza is now in the 7th place.
A bit surprised to see this played even better than before.

You see this story right here concerning V. Osimhen and the Napoli board is just so annoying. I don't know why they think they can be in charge of a player's life just because they've already signed a contract to come to an agreement.
No matter what, they have to let the player make his decision and I know V. Osimhen is lying about him forgetting that crazy mockery video they did about him, the man wants to leave but the owner was saying something that he sold Kalidou Koulibaly back then and I think he doesn't care about V. Osimhen if he chooses to stay or not.
They know the Nigerian international won't stay but they just want us to believe that they're in good terms of keeping Osimhen in the team, the player isn't happy and they know it, sooner or later he'll make up his mind to leave that's if he hasn't already. The Africa Cup Of Nation (AFCON) is by the corner and we know what happened last time when the owner I think refused to let go of some African players, so is best he leaves.

[Tony116]

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. 

Empoli is certainly even very lucky to be able to actually win one match. They were able to score one goal and the opponent was not able to score at all. And after watching them play so far in this season, I am actually pretty surprised that they were even able to score that one goal.

The way they have performed, it feels like they are definitely going to get relegated this season. How can a team actually score, only one goal after playing so many matches? At this point, I am actually going to say that they do not deserve to stay in this league and they definitely deserve to actually get relegated.

Being positive in the doping test is the result and he shall have accepted it whatever the reason is.

Now the players in Serie A will definitely start to be more careful and just have to wait for the right time before everything is finally revealed. We know that this league has been very problematic for a long time and maybe they still haven't fully learned their lesson from its dark history. Doping and gambling will be the main focus for the relevant authorities to reveal the bad side in Serie A. The latest rumors are that one of Inter's key midfielders, Nicolo Barella, is also linked to gambling activities in Italy, but Nicolo Barella denies this and is very angry because several parties are starting to pressure him. Let's wait what will happen next.

A bit surprised to see this played even better than before.

The latest update regarding Papu Gomez, he has been officially banned from playing football for 2 years and he tested positive since October 2022 when he was still a Sevilla player and also before the World Cup started. With this, the indications are that it will become more widespread and we are waiting for Monza's next decision because they have also just been notified by FIFA.

Even betting on a draw is not a wise choice because you may want to get more reward from this match but still the possibility for Fiorentina to bear Empoli easily. I don't think Empoli can ever score a goal against Fiorentina. Checking the last games of Empoli, they couldn't score a goal in their last seven or eight games and that's a lot.

-snip image

Empoli this season is still a very weak team that is in the relegation zone and may also be in danger of being relegated with very poor performances this season it makes it easy for Fiorentina to secure a win and if someone is betting on a draw I think they just want to try their luck in that match but for a win the bigger odds will be with Fiorentina. anyone who wants to gain an advantage in this match will definitely choose Fiorentina even though it only has very small odds but is not too risky.

Even though Papu Gomez denied this, saying he was sick and took one of his son's syrups without consulting him first, could this reason make sense?

Papu Gomez is player who has enough wealth that he must have personal family doctor and is it possible for him to defend himself by saying he only drank his son syrup medicine.
If you think about it logically Papu Gomez reasons are unreasonable and unacceptable and what worse here is that he really has to risk his career and potentially the title he won from the World Cup will be stripped away.

Papu Gomez is Monza's newest recruit in September last month with free agent status and he is currently 35 years old, meaning his career at Monza will soon be over. I don't know what makes players in Serie A often get into problems and this makes their league look bad if the same problems continue to arise.

This striker from Argentina has actually seen decline in his playing quality and in addition he is now 35 so it can be said that he is 37 years old after serving his suspension.
And when he is 37 years old will he still be able to continue his career as player?
This case also has the potential to cause Monza number of losses.

The Africa Cup Of Nation (AFCON) is by the corner and we know what happened last time when the owner I think refused to let go of some African players, so is best he leaves.

I think Osimhen would seize to be a Napoli player by the summer of 2024, he's already refused to extend his contract with the club which means he's ready to leave the club if a suitable offer comes in for him, Osimhen's release clause is about €150m but could reduce by nexr summer, however several European clubs are already in trail of Osimhen especially those in the EPL like Chelsea and Liverpool.

 According to the news by Euro paper talk, Liverpool have reached and agreement to sign the Napoli striker for about £100m plus i don't know how true it is, but i believe he'll make a fine addition to Liverpool squad, however Osimhen would prefer a move to Liverpool than  Chelsea cause, they stand a chance of offering him champions league football and we're not sure yet if Chelsea would finish in the top 4 and qualify for the Champions League, they've not been very consistent since the new tournament started.

I will like Inter to win this title to improve their strikers in a way big teams will like to show interest on them like the way many big teams are interested on Osimhen and Haaland which it will give their management more incomes.

By the big teams in the Italian league we mean the teams like Inter Milan AC Milan Juventus Napoli and most of the seasons one of these teams wins the league title. AC Milan has started well this season, they are at the number one position in the points table so far. They haven't started this season the way Napoli started and finished last season. Napoli have won just four of their first eight matches. We expect better from a team like Napoli. AC Milan and Inter Milan are performing consistently. AC Milan have won seven of their eight matches and dropped one point while Inter Milan have won six of their first eight matches, dropped one point and drawn one match, leaving them at number two in the table with nineteen points. It's just the beginning of the season so it's hard to tell which team will be the favorites to win the title at the end.

[Strongkored]

According to the news by Euro paper talk, Liverpool have reached and agreement to sign the Napoli striker for about £100m plus i don't know how true it is, but i believe he'll make a fine addition to Liverpool squad, however Osimhen would prefer a move to Liverpool than  Chelsea cause, they stand a chance of offering him champions league football and we're not sure yet if Chelsea would finish in the top 4 and qualify for the Champions League, they've not been very consistent since the new tournament started.

I haven't read the news and maybe it's just an initial agreement, meaning there is no clarity regarding the agreement between the two clubs, but what is certain is that if he goes to Liverpool it will provide a new challenge for his career because this is a quite different league in terms of competition with Serie A.
For Napoli, the news about his move to another club will certainly not be pleasant and it will be very disturbing every time Napoli plays, especially when this team gets bad results, it will always be linked to what is happening to its flagship striker.
Today Napoli will face Verona, maybe they won't face any problems because Verona is definitely continuing to decline after appearing quite impressive at the start of the season but slowly they continue to get bad results. Napoli is very likely to get the three points and also score lots of goals, and Osimhen, even though he is continuously rumored to be leaving, will still be Napoli's mainstay up front.

If Osimhen's move to Liverpool really happens, then it is also a challenge for Liverpool. Because if we learn from their striker transfer experience, they have a bad record in Nunez. Yes he could almost be said to have failed when he joined Liverpool and it could happen again.
But the advantage of Osimhen is that he is also part of one of the clubs that can compete in the top leagues in Europe, so he may be used to getting great pressure.
But this is just a preliminary agreement and in the process something could happen that makes the move not happen.

So far Osimhen has really been very professional. Even after the problems that occurred between him and the club occurred. It turns out that Osimhen is still giving his best performance for Napoli. And has scored several goals after these problems.

And the news about Osimhen and Liverpool seems to have been some kind of communication or serious discussion between the two that did not involve the Napoli club. But there is still no certainty about everything and it is only just talk.
(Sourch: https://www.rousingthekop.com/2023/10/20/70m-player-has-just-told-liverpool-he-wants-to-join-them-only-transfer-fee-needs-to-be-sorted-journalist/)

But it would be very surprising if Liverpool moved quickly and got Osimhen in the next transfer market.
