Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[shogun47]

It was a shame for Milan and the red card given to Thiaw made Milan play with ten men which should not have happened, because if there were no red cards the match between the two teams would have been more interesting throughout the match.
And Juventus' hard work was utilized by 10 Milan players in the 63rd minute, they managed to score a goal from Manuel Locatelli after executing Weah's pass. Juventus had many opportunities but there was no option for Milan to play defensively, and 1 goal scored by Juventus is a good thing because any team will take advantage of the opportunities of ten opposing players by continuing to attack.

Massimiliano Allegri is happy concerning his team's performance, he's satisfied with the present state of the club, hoping to be really consistent in the race for the scudetto this season. AC Milan are popularly known for making dangerous tackles and been issued red cards in games. Rissoneri were reduced to 10 men on the pitch after Malick Thiaw drawed down one of the competent Juventus player. The referee, Maurizio Mariani didn't hesitate to give him a straight red card for obstructing a clean goal scoring opportunity. However they still lost at home and Bianconeri took the lead with impressive display.

This game was like a cure to Juventus Turin's pain from last season because if they lost this game today, they would be running after the teams at the top yet again. But now they are in a great position and the fight for the title is open and exciting. The best rehabilitation that Juventus Turin can think of this season is of course to win the Scudetto and to have the chance to newly start in the Champions League the coming season. If this really works out, nobody will think about last season anymore and they would also have less problems to keep players and to sign new players.

Although it was a match that Milan could have actually won and even started the match well, they were left with ten men early and Thiaw was sent out of the game with a red card, bringing an absolute defeat to Milan. Serie A is now tighter than ever in terms of points.

The match was very active, there were a lot of yellow cards in the last match, but after Thiaw was sent off, Juventus established the upper hand and the goal had to be scored somehow, and Locatelli did it, and Juventus grabbed three points with a goal.

The tackles were quite dangerous, and given that Malick Thaiw was the last man, the red card was completely deserved.
AC Milan sought to keep the goal confined and kept pushing, but because they were down one man, they couldn't make any more attempts and instead defended their home to avoid giving any more goals. Now, AC Milan is still in second place, but Juventus has risen to be just two points behind league leaders Inter Milan and one point behind Milan, and I am confident that if Juventus maintains this consistency, they will win the league because they do not compete in the Europa or Champions League.

Not true, Juve is four points behind both Inter and Milan. The reason why Inter is on the first position is because they have more goals than Milan. Locohtele was the man behind Juve's victory tonight as his shot was a deflection that led to the goal. It wouldn't be a win game for Juve assuming Milan didn't have a red card.

The match was very interesting but one side most take advantage of the weak side and win the game. Milan played all they can and they even tries creating chances for themselves to equalize the goal but it was impossible for them.

Juve has gotten a good win with three points which helped them to close the gap in their points from the two clubs seating on the top of the table. Inter has taken back the first position and it might be hard for Milan to overtake them.

AC Milan doesn't seem to be strong enough this season where they lost to Inter Milan and Juventus. Even in today's match, Juventus was able to beat AC Milan at home, which made Juventus even more confident in the competition at the top. I admit that the red card received by Thiaw changed everything for AC Milan because they were not able to do much after playing with 10 players. Juventus took advantage of the situation with a superior number of players to continue to put pressure on AC Milan where they were able to score 1 goal through Locatelli which enabled them to maintain this advantage until the match ended.

For AC Milan they again failed to lead the standings after losing today and of course their ranking is still quite safe in the standings table. If you look at the game, of course AC Milan was able to dominate possession of the ball but that didn't mean much to them because they failed to score a goal in today match.

It was a good day not just for Juventus but for the man Locatelli as he was able to create another history of a one goal win for his current club, Juventus. On this day in 2017, he scored the winner for his club of AC Milan against Juventus and today managed to pull off another show stopper in the 63' from a beautiful pass given him by Tim Weah.
Thwy didn't seem to find their feet early enough and could have been a goal down had Olivier Giroud's header had not been pushed out by the keeper but as soon as Thiaw saw red after a careless tackle, they began regaining confidence and started disturbing the defense of the opponents.
 Despite getting the lead, Maximilliano Allegri kept urging his men to go for a second goal to solidify their three points but  it looked like they were content with securing that lone goal.

Horrible game this evening but the 3 points are the only thing that's matters.
And Juventus gottem.

They are now in top 3 of the leaderboard.


This month will be the month of truth for Milan in Serie A and Champions both.

Considering AC Milan's current form in the Italian Serie A, very few persons would've predicted that they would be beaten at home by Juventus but football as always, is full of surprises as we saw Juventus defeat the Milan by a goal to nil at the San Siro.
AC Milan's chances of winning the game became more difficult after Thiaw picked up a red card in the first half of that encounter. It was a tensely contested game if you ask me as a alot of yellow cards were issued by the referee.

I don't understand what's happening to Napoli this season, they're playing inconsistently, they're not like last season which was consistent in their wins and kept them in first place in the table for a long time.
Today's win against Verona is a good thing for Napoli and keeps the position from getting worse, for the game shown by Napoli is still fairly good to this day but when compared to other teams that were below it last season it seems that Napoli has not progressed from its performance, instead I think they tend to decline from the beginning of this season.
~

Last season and this one are very different because last season there was a long break due to the “sudden” World Cup and because of this there is a possibility that the coaches planned the team’s peak shape at different times. Spalletti tried to get the most out of it right from the start, since then there was an inevitable decline due to the World Cup, perhaps the current coach has a different strategy.
Plus, I am sure that the scandal with Osimhen greatly affected his performance, and he was the main striking force of Napoli.

IMO,When talking above world cup break and the utilization that was done at the beginning of the season, I think it's a bit the same as now, it's actually the world cup schedule that should be troublesome,because if we look at the movements that occurred during the world cup and the serie a break, I actually think it's more urgent than now.
But indeed the differences that occur  now between Spalleti and Rudi Garcia are different. besides that I also agree when saying about Osimhen now this clearly affects the balance  of the partnership even though Osimhen has also startd to return to playing and professionalism but still this affects them especially now Osimhen has to be injured which makes this worse.

Which of the Seria A table are you making reference to?
Because the Seria A table after this AC Milan Ve Juventus match shows that Inter Milan have 22 points, AC Milan have 21 points while Juventus have 20 points, if you are good in mathematics you can tell the difference.

[coinlocket$]

Another thing to consider.

Many teams, Napoli for example will lose players next month for the Africa Cup.

Osimhen will leave (and maybe never come back in January)

AC Milan's chances of winning the game became more difficult after Thiaw picked up a red card in the first half of that encounter. It was a tensely contested game if you ask me as a alot of yellow cards were issued by the referee.

This defeat was none other than because several influential players on the team were unable to play due to the injuries they suffered. Like Maignan where he had to be absent because he received a red card in the previous match and Theo hernandez also experienced the same thing. These two players are a strong wall for Ac milan in defense so it is predictable that their absence will make things difficult for Ac milan in this match. And also in today's match Thiaw had to be given a red card again, of course that was very bad for their performance in today's match because juventus managed to secure full points in Sansiro.

Previously, many people thought that Ac milan was the favorite in this match, but still unexpected things changed everything. Lucky thing for Juventus, they succeeded in making Ac milan not move in front of their supporters because they managed to bring home 3 points in this match. Ac milan winning trend has stopped again this week and they really won't be able to play well if several of their core players are absent. there are not too many substitutes even for left back they don't have a proper replacement.

[Furious 7]

Napoli managed to get 3 points over Verona in today's match and it is a very good thing for them considering their performance is now being highlighted especially the absence of Osimhen in the squad makes them more ogled but fortunately they can bring 3 points in this match.

Their opponents were fairly easy but to be honest, I was a little skeptical at first with Napoli's performance still erratic and losing Osimhen in the squad for the next few weeks is honestly worrying but they proved that they can win.
But indeed this still cannot be used as praise because they still have a lot of work to do. Raspadori and Giovani still can't replace Osimhen's role until now.

Sure but it is easy to forget.

Napoli is the winner of the last season so they are the favorites for this season.

They should be able to win against Verona even if they are missing 2-3 players.

The problem now is what they will be like after this match. There is Union who is preparing in the Champions League even though we know that Napoli is most likely the favorite still this debutant club can surprise even though they always lose in Champions League matches because their performance is not too optimal this season but still this can be dangerous especially for the continuation of Serie A week 10 for Napoli they will face Milan in the big match which surely this requires a full squad should be but with the absence of Osimhen this could be a problem.

Actually, I'm just as skeptical as you. Because Napoli's inconsistency this season should make us all more alert in predicting their performance. I didn't even dare to bet on last night's match. But it turns out I was wrong. Because Napoli without Osimhen isn't too bad either. I think winning with a score of 1-3 is quite good.

But you are right that we still cannot consider a victory in this match as a big progress for Napoli. Because after all, Verona is quite an easy opponent. It's just that I hope Napoli can still win the next matches they will face.

Obviously this cannot be used as a benchmark because Verona is very far in terms of quality and strength of players so this victory can be considered as a fairness for Napoli but the news of Osimhen's injury must be passed in a few weeks and I also saw some articles the possibility of Osimhen being in the big match against Milan is also a little small so this is what Rudi Garcia must pay attention to on how to maximize existing players.
Raspadori could be a good option, it's just that rather than saying he's a targetman, he's actually a supplier because judging by his performance against Verona, Raspadori looks more like an initiator than a targetman.

It was such an unfortunate day for Milan today. Because their performance was actually promising in the first half. Things could have been better for them if they were able to finish the half without that red card. It really ruined their plans I'm afraid. The second half was fully under control of Juventus after that.

Locatelli's winner brought Juventus really important three points. Honestly I didn't expect Juventus to finish Milan's winning streak in San Siro. Probably they couldn't have done it if it weren't for the red card. This week has been in favour of Juventus to get right behind Milan by one point at the same time.

Malick thiaw was playing so garbage by getting a red card even before the first half has ended. This guy was really making a blunder for its club. Acmilan was losing one nil against juventus which has proven if juventus is still strong enough without some importnat players.
The red card for malick costs the club a lot in this match caused by acmilan needs to let three points are going to the juventus. I think that draw may happen if malick was not making stupid foul that gave him being awarded with a red card by the referee.
Malick shall not repeat his stupidity by doing unnecessary foul against its opponent.

Locatelli's winner brought Juventus really important three points. Honestly I didn't expect Juventus to finish Milan's winning streak in San Siro. Probably they couldn't have done it if it weren't for the red card. This week has been in favour of Juventus to get right behind Milan by one point at the same time.

It seems to me that if juventus is going back to the right track again after it was struggled since the early season. Juventus and duo milan are now competing for the title race.
This is a great chance for the old lady to get back its gold days again once the club was able to winning the scudetto trophy this season. Im waiting for juventus to face intermilan. It's gonna be hyped match.

Juventus were able to score a goal and win vs Milan at San Siro. Such bad performance in addition to the relatively early red card that made them less affective.
That result helped Inter keeping the first spot while Juve took the third place within few minutes from the start. The problem with Milan is the fact that they will have a hard week with Napoli in Serie A and before that PSG in Champions League. That negative score won't help them..

So far it seems the Scudetto competition in this season will be for three clubs, AC Milan, Inter Milan and Juventus. Other clubs like Napoli, Fiorentina, Atalanta and Roma will compete for one or two positions in top four and top six of Serie A.

The appearance of Fiorentina in top of Serie A is surprising even they got a Conference League final match in the last season. Because they lost Amrabat, one of their most important players to Manchester United in the summer. Anyway it is a good continuation of Fiorentina with good improvements during last three seasons. Even transfers of Vlahovic, Amrabat don't make them weaker and their performances in this season are very good quality mark for their team.

The problem with Milan is the fact that they will have a hard week with Napoli in Serie A and before that PSG in Champions League. That negative score won't help them..

Participation of competitors like AC Milan, Inter Milan and Napoli in Champions League will give Juventus more chance to take Scudetto in this season. Champions League is like a magnet for all clubs and competitors of Juventus will be distracted from Serie A in weeks with Champions League matches.

Juventus really impressed today, by winning Acmilan away from home, even though it wasn't with a good scoreline but they've been able to secure the 3poins and close the gap between them and the league leaders, well i think Juventus are on the right track, cause they're currently in the 3rd place with about 20 points, just 2 points between them and Inter who's the current leading top of the Bundesliga.

 Allegri is a good coach and he's groomed his boys to be performing better, even the whole crisis from injury with other set backs they still managed to win against one of the best performing team this season, which means that if their key players where  available to place they would've embraced Acmilan more.

[SatoPrincess]

Napoli are in fine form form at the moment and are winning games even in the absence of Victor Osimhen so I feel they have an advantage against Union Berling. Regarding the rumors and speculations going round about Osimhen’s possible departure in January. It is still not clear and we will have to wait until January to know the club’s position on this if they will be willing to sell or retain him.

Things could have been better for them if they were able to finish the half without that red card. It really ruined their plans I'm afraid. The second half was fully under control of Juventus after that.

Milan must be willing to lose the points they can get in this match and Juventus has become an obstacle to Milan being able to climb to the top in overtaking Inter in first place.
It is true that Milan dominated the game much more but they were unable to penetrate the Juventus defense to score goal and it was actually the opposite where Juventus were able to create one goal and defend it until the match is over.
And this defeat made Stefano Pioli little disappointed with his players performance.

Locatelli's winner brought Juventus really important three points. Honestly I didn't expect Juventus to finish Milan's winning streak in San Siro. Probably they couldn't have done it if it weren't for the red card. This week has been in favour of Juventus to get right behind Milan by one point at the same time.

Of course Locatelli only goal was very important and succeeded in bringing Juventus closer to the top position.
And here in the future, Milan must be able to perform optimally to win in every match so that Juventus cannot overtake them and also have the opportunity to take the first position occupied by Inter.
