Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Velvet78]

...

I think there will be matches that will not be boring today, namely Inter vs Roma and Napoli vs Milan. These two matches will definitely feature matches that are not boring. Both of them definitely put on a full power match. Because both camps will definitely implement an attack strategy. And it will make the match feel faster. I'm really looking forward to that fight.

I believe Napoli - Milan was way more entertaining than Inter - Roma today. Because we watched 4 goals in total. First of all I thought of making a betslip by 2 games with high odds but didn't do it later. I was going to pick Real Madrid and Milan wins for that. I relieved after seeing the comeback came by Napoli. Otherwise I was going to miss around 9.00 odds.  

Besides I don't know how Milan couldn't keep their big advantage. Giroud was great today but even his extra performance wasn't enough. In Osimhen's absence Raspadori and Politano was on the stage. Milan still had 6 more minutes to score the winner after Natan got a red card. They could have really won in Naples.

The games of this round have already ended and today we had two great games in my opinion. Roma, who played against Inter, had the tough task of putting up a strong defense from the first minute of the game, making it clear that Roma were playing with the mission of a draw or a defeat other than conceding many goals, I read somewhere where Mourinho did not place a certain player who had recovered from an injury because he feared that it would be too early for him to play and avoid the risk of getting injured again, so Roma's attack did not have any great power to pierce Inter's defense, so it was already It was clear what Roma's objective was in this game. In any case, Rome lost

Another interesting game, was Milan's game against Napoli, I confess that when I saw Milan score 2 goals I even thought they would come away with an easy victory in this game, but it was strange to see a situation like this where Milan in the 1 half scored 2 goals and didn't concede any goals and in the 2 half they didn't score any goals and conceded 2 goals and the game ended in a draw, Milan never stops disappointing their fans, they manage to do the most annoying things you can see in football. I don't know what the hell this team has that doesn't change every season, with this result they leave Inter with a greater distance than them, I doubt that Inter will be able to become champions of Serie A this season. In any case, congratulations to Napoli, who, even without having all their good players, are managing to do very well.

Lastly, which I also found shocking was the Cagliari game, it was a very strange game, they were losing until the 90th minute, but in just 2 minutes they scored 2 goals and won the game, it was very lucky, isn't it? every day we watch games like these. It was a bad experience for Frosinoni who were winning and saw the result reversed in just 2 minutes and just after 90 minutes

It looks like both are playing for a draw now, 4 goals have been scored and the powerplay was on for most of the game. Now 20 minutes and no one wants to lose points, these are important games when you play against a direct teams there Play also for the championship. Inter won today only 1-0 and Juventus yesterday also only 1-0, they are very important points. If Napoli or Milan score a goal now, then its 6 points worth the game.

I wasn't surprised by the outcome of this game between these two teams; it was a fair game, and they both played well to earn the points they shared today. After Milan's first two goals, I thought Napoli would not be able to win the game. The game turned after the first half, with Napoli scoring in the 50th minute and again in the 63rd minute to tie the game. There was little difference in their stats data, therefore it was a fair game for both teams. Napoli were able to limit the margin between them at four points, which is sufficient to stay up with the race for the top spot.

After seeing Milan lead in scoreline in the first half of the game,I concluded that they were going to win the game,but one thing have seen this season is how games can just turn in less than no time.You cannot be leading 3:0 and you are playing against a good side,and you finalise that you've won that match,as long as their is still time, anything can happen,the other team can still come back to score those three goals and equalise.So I am really surprised that Napoli were able to score two goals to draw the game I already concluded that Milan have won
Napoli deserves an accolade for being able to draw that game.The race for the top spot is still on,and untill the last game of the campaign,we cannot say the particular team that has more advantage.

Inter won today only 1-0 and Juventus yesterday also only 1-0, they are very important points. If Napoli or Milan score a goal now, then its 6 points worth the game.

The match is over already, Napoli 2 vs 2 AC Milan. AC Milan scored 2 goals in the first half, meanwhile Napoli scored 2 goals in the second half. The match was quite tough, both teams have done their best. However, I'm sure Napoli can do better if they have Victor Osimhen on the lineup. Sadly, Osimhen is injured, he looks to be absent for few matches because there is no clear information about when they probably recovers from the injury.

Well, I think a draw is a fair result for both teams.

Regarding the match Inter vs Roma, it is already predicted that Inter will win the match. Inter squad is better, they played at home, and they are in a good shape lately. There is no reason for a lose, Inter must win the match. I even think the score should be 2 goals at least but they only could score 1 goal only. But it is surely enough to secure 3 points.

Before the commencement of the game, I thought Napoli stood a better chance of winning the game because of their recent results in all competition but two first half goal from Olivier Giroud made it look like the visitors AC Milan were gonna take all three points from the game.
However, in the second half of the game, Napoli players played with intense hunger for a good result and fortunately for them, they scored two goals in the space of 13 minutes to draw level with AC Milan. It was a very interesting match for neutrals but certainly a nervous one for fans of the clubs especially in the dying minutes of the game when it seems like one team was definitely gonna win. Napoli really tried to draw the game.

In the first half of the game, Napoli had a poor performance and they didn't start the match well, Olivier Giroud used this chance and he scored two goals in this game but he could even score more goals because of the weakness Napoli had. Also, the other side of the story was about some AC Milan players like Olivier Giroud being sad because of the Stefano Pioli made in this match.

Napoli is back into the game this second half as they have been attacking and pressuring Milan to the extend that they equalized the goals. Raapadori scored a marvelous goal with a perfect free kick that curved through the wall into the net, leaving the goalkeeper on ghost mood. Politano scored the first goal on the 50th minutes with a powerful shot close to the 16yard box. The match is now very tough and at it's peak because both clubs are fight to have full three points. Napoli is playing impressively this second have and they are creating more chances to score their third goal.

You're right, Napoli played better in the second half, but I was very disappointed about how Milan let their victory slip after taking a 2 goal lead in the first half. Even though Milan did not lose, this is one failure that must be avoided because its chances of winning the Scudetto this season will not be any better. So now Milan is 3 points behind Inter or 1 point behind Juventus, but I hope they can improve in other matches.

Whereas Milan in this match especially in the first half they were quite good in the balance of attack and defense but when they were in the second half I saw that Milan were only too fixated on possession and attack so they failed to keep the defense properly.
The second half Napoli played more bravely in pressing Milan which was also quite aggressive but indeed Napoli was much better from the quality of the second half attack.
Sharing points is not too bad but indeed  with 2 goals in the first half for Milan this is a bit regrettable even though they should be able to defend this well but they are difficult  and careless so they missed for 2 goals back in the second half.

ended 2-2 between Napoli an Milan.
Fun game to watch, nobody was happy, and they both lost points.

Yes, the match ended up with a draw result. The match was very interesting, each of them could score 2 goals. In the first half, I guessed AC Milan will win the match, but Napoli players equalized the scores in the second half by scoring 2 goals. I think there will be more goals but no more goals until the end of the match. I assume both teams quite satisfied, they could get 1 point at least. It is better than they lost points at all.  

Since it was a draw, Fiorentina and Atalanta have the opportunity to overtake Napoli position. But since Fiorentina will play against Lazio away, it won't be easy to get 3 points.

It was a bad experience for Frosinoni who were winning and saw the result reversed in just 2 minutes and just after 90 minutes

Well i think that's a typical Mourinho pattern, he loves to pack the box and defend mostly against teams he knows that are stronger than him, and just like i predicted, Inter won the game to maintain their position at the top of the table and they might remain their for a while, though it took Inter Milan almost the full game to convert a chance into goal, cause Roma really defended properly but could not carry on for a very long time.

 Cagliari really shocked me as well they were losing right from the 1st half of the game but they managed to score several goals but later made it 2 in 90+ who would had believe they'll win the game i guess how bad Frosinoni players would be feeling, especially very bad cause they already felt they’ve won but lost the game in few minutes before the final whistle, they were very unfortunate and Cagliari are the lucky ones.

Of course you guessed that AC Milan will win it after the first half because they had a 2 goal lead. But for AC Milan this means quite the setback as they have had a great couple of weeks without losing or any draws. Now losing the game against Juventus and giving away the 2 goal lead against Napoli reshapes their overall situation. They looked very solid and now there is quite some damage to that seemingly perfect picture from the last weeks. They are now last in the Champions League group and they lose their games against the strong Serie A teams. Two weeks ago I thought they might be stronger than this.

[Strongkored]

Great win by Inter tonight which is in top of the standings in Serie A so far but for me this is no news as we knew Inter has some of the best players and they can also fight in both fronts including Champions League.For me the news is the recent form of Juventus which is showing great performance and it is there just 2 points behind Inter.

One goal was enough to give Inter Milan 3 points to take over the standings where Juventus had been temporarily, Roma almost got one point but Inter Milan was able to break the deadlock well and managed to win. This result shows how Inter Milan is more consistent than last season

Now we have to wait for the Napoli vs Milan game and if Napoli wins Juventus will remain in the second place and the Serie A will become one of the most interesting leagues during this season together with all the other major 5 as now that I think,no team in any from these leagues has been able to create a meaningful gap to their opponents.

The result of this match was a draw, and what is interesting is that AC Milan could not maintain their 2-0 lead from the first half, maybe many thought that Napoli would not be able to make this match a draw but they managed to do it and this was a loss for AC Milan, and Napoli, who were without Osimhen, still tried to perform well, even though it wasn't a win, but managed to catch up from two goals down, it's still a good result for a team like Napoli, which looks like it's having problems.

After taking a 2-0 lead after just 31 minutes I thought Milan would be able to win this match. Because my assumption was that Milan will play defensively after leading by 2 goals. But they did not play defensive strategy. They continued to attack, and as a result their defense was vulnerable. And this opportunity was used very well by the Napoli players. Napoli attacked a lot in this match. Napoli boys played well enough. And in the second half they stepped up their attack. They scored the first goal in the 50th minute and after just 13 minutes they managed to level the match 2-2. Performance of both teams was very good. And I would say we got the expected result from the match.

That is what I thought as well as their defense was great apart from the game against Inter Milan, which was when they conceded 5 goals. But in the six games before that game against Juventus they only conceded 2 goals, which means every 3 games. But it is not pure mathematics all the time. Games can go this way and Napoli is still strong enough to score 2 goals even when Osimhen doesn't play. They still have the second best attacking line and that is why it isn't a surprise that they can score 2 goals in a home game.

It is not a big win for Inter Milan but they actually dominated the match through 90 minutes. Roma only created one significant chance from a headshot of Cristante. Roma nearly came to a draw with Inter Milan but when the match has about 10 minutes left, Marcus Thuram scored a winning goal for Inter Milan. It is a fair result for Inter Milan because of their domination and two shots that hit the goal bar of Roma.

This win helps Inter Milan to stay solidly at a first position of Serie A.

So Roma trend of winning three times in a row was successfully broken by Inter Milan in the 10th Serie A match this season. Roma is still stuck in 8th place for now and Lazio can shift Roma ranking if Lazio is able to win in tomorrow's match against Fiorentina.

Roma can not compare to Inter Milan about player quality and they tried to play very defensive to get one point from Meazza stadium but failed at last minutes of the match. Lukaku had a bad return to Inter Milan stadium but it's not his responsibility for this defeat. Roma team are responsible for it and they can feel regret by losing one point at the end but in reality, with big domination, Inter Milan really deserve the important win.

Yeah as expected Inter Milan finally won the match they dominated from the first minute it's just that Roma implemented a defensive game so not many goals could be scored if both teams play openly then I am sure at least 3 goals can be scored, these additional 3 points brought Inter back to take over the standings from Juventus and the race between the 3 teams is still continuing. Another interesting match between Napoli and Milan ended in a draw even though Milan managed to secure the match in the first half with 2 goals ahead but in the second half Napoli were able to equalize the score, yeah it's a shame that Milan lost 2 points even though Milan should be able to move up to 2nd place.

This win helps Inter Milan to stay solidly at a first position of Serie A.

Jose Mourinho brought out his old move again when Roma faced Inter at the Giuseppe Meazza. Roma direction of play, which appeared to be totally defensive, only focused on a draw, Roma players were mostly in the heart of the defense in order to close down space for the Inter players. The tactics used by Mourinho would have almost succeeded if Marcus Thuram had not scored a goal in the 81st minute, this was the only goal scored in this match and made Inter even stronger at the top of the standings.
Inter deserved this victory for the tireless hard work of their players, they continued to attack Roma's defense in order to get full points at their own base, as a result of this defeat Roma fell even further to 8th place.

They started well but could not continue well. When Giroud took a 2-0 lead in the first half with two great goals, I thought Milan would be very comfortable in the second half, but I was wrong. Napoli drew the draw in the second half with the great support of their fans. Napoli's 2 goals were also great. Politano and Raspadori scored goals that were candidates for the goal of the week.

Congratulations to Inter for the beautiful victory they embraced from their opponent to maintain the first position in the Italian league table, which is a sign that showed they prepared well to frustrate other strong teams like Roma, Juventus, AC Milan and Napoli in this season to dominate in this tournament. Despite the prepare Roma players prepared to draw the match with Inter in their home but their coach refused such thing to happen than to make some changes in the second half that created the opportunity for Marcus Thuram to achieved the winning goal at 81 minutes to defeated Roma 1-0. AC Milan was leading the match with 0-2 in the Napoli home before  they manage to equalized the two goals at 63 minutes that made AC Milan coach got provoked to his players for allowed such thing to happen, and the match ended up draw 2-2.

After taking full control of the match in the 81st minute, Inter Milan broke the need to score the winning goal. I think this victory was quite worthy because the Inter Milan team played much better in this match, while Roma only played defensively and relied on counter attacks.
Inter Milan's game was truly extraordinary, especially in the first half, they attacked Roma's defense completely, and Jose Mourinho was still using his main strategy, namely full defense, as usual.
However, this narrow defeat will not have any impact on Roma, they have tried their best, and I think for the next match Roma will get back on track.
And Inter Milan is increasingly proving that they are the strongest team in Serie A this season.

There was a lot of action in the game, but the second goal by Giroud could have been defended. I have watched the scene a couple of times and I wonder why the defender didn't attack with higher intensity. He didn't jump and try to defend the header and he didn't disturb Girould like he should have done. That wasn't a great defensive performance.

The free kick scored by Napoli is tricky, but I think it was a mistake in the positioning of the wall. It is either the goalkeeper he should be standing further to the left or it is the wall that wasn't well positioned.

Inter's narrow victory at home to Roma managed to maintain 3 points to remain in first place in the points table.
Currently Inter has collected 25 points and has only experienced 1 defeat. I think Inter has learned from its previous mistakes this season. Inter has really shown its consistency to continue to create consecutive wins and have the opportunity to win the title this season.

Milan vs Napoli match I thought Milan would win the match in home Napoli even though Milan took the lead in the first half but it turned out that Napoli was able to equalize in the second half, unfortunately Milan was not able to get the full 3 points in the match but at least they had to be satisfied with the result. and can share points.

The goal scored by Marcus Thuram was the only goal scored in this match and at the same time brought Inter Milan to win. INter Milan completely dominated the match and even made it very difficult for AS Roma to develop their game. AS Roma were only able to create 1 shot that led to the goal of the 3 attempts they made, of course this is a record that is inversely proportional to what Inter Milan created. Indeed, AS Roma can apply a solid defense that makes it difficult for Inter Milan to penetrate deeper into the AS Roma defense. But they can take advantage of opportunities in the 81st minute and make the scoreboard change.

In another match, it was a tight match between Napoli and AC Milan, both teams displyed a neat game. AC Milan could lead 2 goals in the first half, but in the second half Napoli could equalize and the score 2-2 did not change until the long whistle sounded. The statistics of the match showed that they played equally strong, and this result was a fair result for both teams.
