Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[wmaurik]

Even though the conditions have not been very good in the last few matches, I believe AC Milan will not let Fiorentina party at the San Siro. Apart from that, Stefano Pioli will also do everything to get three points for the Rossoneri. However, unfortunately several of Milan's mainstay players had to rest due to various conditions. But of course Pioli has prepared other strategies to cover weaknesses in various sectors, especially on the front lines. I predict this match will be tough and Milan has the opportunity to secure three points.

Even though Stefano Pioli already has other strategies to cover the weaknesses he currently has with the AC Milan team, I think it will also be quite difficult for AC Milan to win easily at their own home. Because up to now there are still nine players at AC Milan who have not recovered from injuries, so this might be a difficulty for AC Milan in their home match this time. Because Fiorentina themselves are not that bad this season, AC Milan should be wary of Fiorentina this season.

Next, Roma will face Udinese in Week 13 of Serie A, this is an opportunity that must be utilized well to push into the top four of the standings, because Napoli and Fiorentina will face tough matches. I don't think Udinese is a tough opponent, because so far they have only been able to achieve one win in their 12 matches.

Udinese is not a difficult team and I think Roma will get fourth or fifth place. Although I think it won't be long because Napoli, Atalanta and Fiorentina also have one game left. But if you look at the next match card, Roma will likely be in fifth place in the standings assuming that Napoli or Atalanta win the match, and Fiorentina loses against AC Milan.

Basically, AS Roma this season has had good results for home matches, but Udinese does not have an impressive record for away matches because Udinese mostly get draws in away matches. Therefore, of course AS Roma will be the favorite team to win this match, because AS Roma will also be playing at home. It doesn't matter whether AS Roma will move up or not in the Serie A standings after beating Udinese later, because the most important thing for AS Roma at this moment is to be consistent in achieving three points. Because yes, of course if AS Roma succeeds consistently in getting points then as time goes by of course AS Roma will also be in a better position in the Serie A standings.

Roma cannot afford to fail to get three points against Udinese. Jose Mourinho must prepare the right strategy to defeat Udinese at the Olimpico. Three points will be good capital for the Giallorossi to look at the top flight. I also feel quite confident that Lukaku and his friends will play all-out in this match. However, even though Udinese's record is not that good, their strength is also worth paying attention to. It is very likely that Udinese is targeting taking home points from the Olimpico, even if it is only one point.

That would be a bad sign for Milan and so many players being absent means their game will be a little loose. Fiorentina will of course make good use of this opportunity and if Milan lose, they will continue to fall and lose the place they should be able to defend. It looks like Fiorentina will be favored to win but that too with a score that is not too much.

Yes, I think Lazio will try their best to beat Salernitana because this is a good opportunity for Lazio to continue to progress to improve its position, Lazio has lost a lot of points this season and is struggling in the middle of the table fighting against mediocre teams, I think Lazio will be difficult to be in. Top 5 like last season.
Salernitana has been lucky for the last 2 seasons because they managed to survive the relegation zone, but it seems like this season is indeed a bad and unlucky season for them because Salernitana has had to fight very hard to stay in Serie A.

It will be difficult for Salernitana to maintain itself in Serie A next season if it is still in last place in the standings. And in their home match this week there will also be no guarantee for Salernitana to win because Lazio will really try to get full points in that match because Lazio thinks that their opponent this time is an opponent who will make it easier for them to win. Apart from that, Lazio also can't make any mistakes because so far Lazio doesn't look any better than last season.

Salernitana are not reliable at all, they have not even won a game this season, with only 5 draws and 7 defeats to their name, putting them at the bottom of the table.
Lazio is a good club, although now they are also unstable, but seeing their opponent is Salernitana, I think we will all agree to say the same thing that Lazioa will win this match easily.
I don't see them having the strength and ability to beat Lazio in this match other than luck is on their side so that they can win the match.

Lazio should be cautious as they go into this game because teams like salernitana are the kind of teams that cause upsets against big teams especially immediately after the international break. Salernitana is struggling at the bottom of the table and would want to drag any team down with them.

It is very likely that Udinese is targeting taking home points from the Olimpico, even if it is only one point.

We can't do the comparison, AS Roma are ranked 7th position on the table while Udinese is close to relegation zone, now tell me, who do you think will take the game more serious? Ofcourse it will be Udinese because they want to avoid that zone with everything they can possessed. It's not all about preparing the appropriate strategy but winning the game is the basic important thing. AS Roma can play good football and dominate the game but at the end of the game, we will be surprise who turn out to be the winner? Udinese can be underrated but winning settles the differences.

This is the chance to see Roma moving closer  to the top four,  theybhave a good form at home since they have won all the games they have played at home. Jose Mourinho can't loose guard on this game. The last game can not determine how they play this game.  I know that Lazio player better than Jose Mourinho team and should have won but Roma defenders did a good job.

Udinese a stubborn club has just won once in the last five meeting in the head to head so far. As Roma has the upper here they have a good record at home and has three wins against Udinese in the last five.

Lazio should be cautious as they go into this game because teams like salernitana are the kind of teams that cause upsets against big teams especially immediately after the international break. Salernitana is struggling at the bottom of the table and would want to drag any team down with them.

Lazio will need to be at their best to avoid falling into Salernitana's trap, because Salernitana will be so highly motivated. They are desperate for points to rise their position on the table, and they will be playing with desire and determination to give Lazio the element of surprise. Lazio will not be fully prepared for Salernitana's tactics, as they will have had limited time to study them since the international break.

Lazio cant be complacent to assume that they will easily win the game. They still need to start the game strong and be aware of Salernitana's attacking threats and make sure that they are not caught out on the counter-attack. I think Lazio can do these, then they should be able to avoid an upset and secure an important three points.

It could be said that Lukaku is very likely to become the top scorer in Serie A but Roma failed to finish in the top four of the standings (I know Martinez has scored 12 goals so far). That is the reality we see about Jose Mourinho current squad, but in essence his signing has a good impact on improving the club performance. On the other hand, it is reported that Roma and Chelsea management have agreed to a new agreement regarding Lukaku future status, Roma agreed to make the Belgian striker status permanent for a figure of 37 million pounds and Lukaku must be willing to reduce his salary.

Next, Roma will face Udinese in Week 13 of Serie A, this is an opportunity that must be utilized well to push into the top four of the standings, because Napoli and Fiorentina will face tough matches. I don't think Udinese is a tough opponent, because so far they have only been able to achieve one win in their 12 matches.

Lukaku's display in Roma has made him likely to become the Serie A top scorer, his move to Roma brought out a better him, he's been playing well for the team and ensuring their wins too, although they don't have the chance of finishing in the top 4 standing but nonetheless, Mourinho has been able to reshape the team into a more competitive and victory oriented team, his managerial skills has paid off in boosting the players' strength and confidence too.

 For Lukaku, Chelsea now has their eyes all him as a result of his advancement in real time, hopefully if the move clicks, he won't go back to lagging behind for Chelsea, they're just in quest for a solid striker so I wouldn't blame them if their eyes are popped out onto Lukaku, but after rejecting him earlier i doubt if Lukaku would want to play for Chelsea again.

Roma cannot afford to fail to get three points against Udinese. Jose Mourinho must prepare the right strategy to defeat Udinese at the Olimpico. Three points will be good capital for the Giallorossi to look at the top flight. I also feel quite confident that Lukaku and his friends will play all-out in this match.

Even though Udinese is closer to the relegation zone, that won't make them to become stronger than Roma who is aiming to move to the top4 in the league even though they play in their home ground. I think Roma will Play better football, they will dominate the game and they will definitely Win the game because right now they have got a better striker and a better team than Udinese.

That would be a bad sign for Milan and so many players being absent means their game will be a little loose. Fiorentina will of course make good use of this opportunity and if Milan lose, they will continue to fall and lose the place they should be able to defend. It looks like Fiorentina will be favored to win but that too with a score that is not too much.

In recent times,. Milan has not been at their best with some inconsistency been a problem they have been encountering along side in their performance, now having most key players absent may even worsen the situation for them because if they weren't doing well with a full squad how much more with half.

Fiorentina isn't a really strong team but at the same time isn't a team that should be underestimated as they can be very inconsistent and full of suprises, they could take good advantage of the situation with Milan and probably steal three points from them via a little goal difference or most likely they could make sure to get one point by getting a draw if Milan performs below expectations

[Leviathan.007]

I'm quite curious how Milan will overcome their inconsistency over the last few matches and their opponents this week are not a weak team either. Fiorentina will clearly be quite a difficult opponent for Milan and even though the Rossoneri have full support from the fans at San Siro, I don't think that alone will be enough to deliver an easy win. It is possible that if Milan takes the lead first then it can at least lead to the match being dominated by them.

However, there was something that really bothered me because even though Milan were able to take the lead, sometimes they lost concentration in the second half and as a result they conceded and ended in a draw. This was clearly seen twice against Napoli and Lecce a few weeks ago, this is a mistake they must correct in the match against Fiorentina again so that the same incident does not happen again in a row.

That's even weird for me to see AC Milan in the first place at the Serie table because this team lost many players and they have many injured players so far. I think AC Milan can't even have a great chance to bat against Fiorentina in this match even after watching the rates for both teams, I think it's much better and safer to bet on Fiorentina instead of AC Milan. Also, a huge part of the good performance we saw from AC Milan was because of Pioli even after he didn't have enough players in some games.

The performance of Lukaka when he is on international duty for his country can not be compared to his performance at the club side because looking at the players in the Belgium national team where Lukaka came from, he always have a good number of players who's assisting him to get the job done and the level of competition in the national team football can not be compared to that of the clubs because the club football is more difficult and the players you play with may not be used to each other since some of them may be new to the team and they will take some time to get used to the performance of each other and that will really have some negative effect on the performance of players especially the strikers.

Overall I agree with you, Lukaku performance when on international duty for his country cannot be compared to his performance when working for his Club. Especially also, Lukaku is still quite new at the Roma club, so indeed he needs more time to have good chemistry with each other in that team. And so far Lukaku performance while working at the Roma club is not too bad, as a new striker he has worked as well as possible. I hope this season Lukaku does not suffer any injury that could reduce his contribution in scoring of goals.

[TelolettOm]

I also agree that Juventus have chance to also win the match just as many people think Inter Milan will win, but this injury news is what baffles me and made me think of something else because Inter is a good team that will stand firm against Juventus, and if Juventus will be playing without some key players, it will be hard for them to win Inter Milan

Inter Milan may be a stronger team, but I see many people assume Juventus to win the match. If it is about the injury, both teams have injured players. Inter Milan even has the injury problems for their 2 main defenders (2 CB). It will be a serious problem for Inter Milan, their defense won't be as strong as usual. So, Juventus will have a bigger chance to penetrate to Inter Milan defense. FYI, all Juventus attackers are ready for the match, it will be the advantage for Juventus.

I am so sorry my friend, but I have to contradict you, I dont agree with what you are saying at all.
Roma have had no luck, Roma have Jose Mourinho who is a great strategist, even if he has a bad temper he knows how to do his job very well: this proves it.
Lukaku come because Jose call him.

No problem. You actually aren't against me, you only strengthen my statement.  
Sure, Mourinho may be the person who has the big role for the arrival of Lukaku to AS Roma.
But in fact, with the arrival of Lukaku, AS Roma has someone who can replace Tammy Abraham. If there is no Lukaku, AS Roma will be in a crisis of productive striker due to the absence of Tammy Abraham for a long time.

[coinlocket$]

Locatelli will probably skip the game.

At the moment the midfield of Juventus in emergency they have 3 players and in addiction players from the second team from the 3rd league.

Salernitana are not reliable at all, they have not even won a game this season, with only 5 draws and 7 defeats to their name, putting them at the bottom of the table.
Lazio is a good club, although now they are also unstable, but seeing their opponent is Salernitana, I think we will all agree to say the same thing that Lazioa will win this match easily.
I don't see them having the strength and ability to beat Lazio in this match other than luck is on their side so that they can win the match.

Salernitana is the weakest team in Serie A this season and it even looks like they will be relegated this season because so far they haven't been able to win a single win. This week they will again face a strong team and I'm not sure they will be able to beat Lazio. Salernitana has a fairly weak defense in serie A this season where other teams can feast on goals against them. However, this week I am more interested in another big match between Juventus vs Inter milan because that match will be a big stage for who is the strongest this season.

There are many interesting things this season, especially those who are trying to recover like Napoli. I also see that they are full of ambition to defend their Scudetto title by showing their new coach in the previous week. Even for the AC Milan team, I think they will also fire Pioli if he can't bring Ac milan to victory in the upcoming match.

[samuraijin]

Yes, I think Lazio will try their best to beat Salernitana because this is a good opportunity for Lazio to continue to progress to improve its position, Lazio has lost a lot of points this season and is struggling in the middle of the table fighting against mediocre teams, I think Lazio will be difficult to be in. Top 5 like last season.

It will be difficult for Salernitana to maintain itself in Serie A next season if it is still in last place in the standings. And in their home match this week there will also be no guarantee for Salernitana to win because Lazio will really try to get full points in that match because Lazio thinks that their opponent this time is an opponent who will make it easier for them to win. Apart from that, Lazio also can't make any mistakes because so far Lazio doesn't look any better than last season.

I don't see them having the strength and ability to beat Lazio in this match other than luck is on their side so that they can win the match.

In my opinion, there is no match in the scheme implemented by Filippo Inzaghi in the last 12 matches in Serie A this season. In my opinion, this discrepancy must be changed as quickly as possible, if it is left unchecked then Salernitana will definitely experience relegation to Serie B , it seems that Filippo Inzaghi cannot follow in the footsteps of his younger brother who was successful in managing big clubs.

LAZIO could win this match easily but Salernitana could give a surprise if they really recover from their current downturn in class, this is a big problem if Salernitana doesn't change their style of play until the middle of the season then it will make it difficult for Salernitana to get out of the Relegation Zone..

I hope this season Lukaku does not suffer any injury that could reduce his contribution in scoring of goals.

It's probably true that lukaku has better performance in international group rather than league. As you can see that lukaku's performance is so impressive unlike when he plays in the league. It's probably true that if there was a gap between his performance in the league and international competition.
I hope lukaku will be working even harder to reduce the gap between his performance in the different competitions. People are aware how lukaku was able making 14 goals from less matches compared to the 6 goals in the league.
I knew that if we must admit that playing in the league is far harder than international competition. it's caused by you will be playing against the chosen players when it comes to the battle against club in serie a.
Playing in international competition is a bit easy than league caused by there are no clubs that have good players in all of positions.

Yes, Salernitana is in very bad condition, they even have the chance of being relegated from Serie A for next season, today match against Lazio is also bad match for Salernitana and also Filippo Inzaghi because Lazio is strong enough team so it is impossible for them to win the match Today.
In 12 matches, Salernitana have not managed to get single win, this is proof that they are not worthy of staying longer and competing with the big teams in Serie A.
I don't know what Filippo Inzaghi should do with the team he coaches, but they always face difficulties in every match.

If you look at the opportunities and also the quality of play of the two teams, Lazio is far ahead with the various advantages they have, making it possible to win the match, but for Salernitana to be able to provide surprise to be honest, I don't really believe it.
When Salernitana was able to give surprise, wasn't it already possible since several previous matches?

[Tony116]

Theer's nothing wrong by giving a chance to play in the main squad but how capabale he is of doing that? Pioli was doing this caused by he has been forcing by the situation in the club. There are many players injured and pioli was taking 15 years old to play.
In my opinion if this a really bad decision. he has no enough experience to play against a team that is being placed at the 6th position. It's not about how young he was but it's about acmilan will be facing a strong club.
Putting young guy to play against a strong club is a very risky decision. I can't believe pioli puts child to play in the squad. Fiorentina can use his position as the focus to attack.
It's caused by he will be less competence in anything comparead with fiorentina's player. Very bad decision from pioli. Fiorentina will win against acmilan.

I would say that there are situations when that makes sense, yes normally you do not make a 15 year old play, but if the injury situation pushes you to the limit then you may have to do it.

I personally did that even in a game, and yes game is not the same as reality, but I can understand the thought process, for example you normally do not have 3 goalkeepers ready for a game, you have 2 that is ready, and third is probably a young one, but if not at least fourth is definitely not there, only have the youth team one, so if 2 of your goalkeepers are injured, then you play the third one, who could be young youth kid 15 year old, or even if into, then the backup at the bench will be that, and if the goalkeeper gets red card on a penalty position type of thing, the 15 year old backup from the youth team will take the place. These are all important things, and you should be aware that it may happen, not because manager wants to, but he is forced to do that.

Goalkeeper is the most thankless job ever in football. And sometimes they do not get their attention that they deserve. And sometimes the coaches become so much reliable on their goalkeeper that they forget. The goalkeeper can also make mistakes or be injured. So sometimes the coaches forget to keep a single or a couple of good backup goalkeepers. But at the same time, I don't think we can actually play the coach for that too much because a lot of goalkeepers really do not want to be in the club if they are not getting good playtime. So that is a problem when a coach actually wants to keep good backup goalkeepers.

Salernitana are not reliable at all, they have not even won a game this season, with only 5 draws and 7 defeats to their name, putting them at the bottom of the table.

I don't see them having the strength and ability to beat Lazio in this match other than luck is on their side so that they can win the match.

Salernitana is the weakest team in Serie A this season and it even looks like they will be relegated this season because so far they haven't been able to win a single win. This week they will again face a strong team and I'm not sure they will be able to beat Lazio. Salernitana has a fairly weak defense in serie A this season where other teams can feast on goals against them. However, this week I am more interested in another big match between Juventus vs Inter milan because that match will be a big stage for who is the strongest this season.

There are many interesting things this season, especially those who are trying to recover like Napoli. I also see that they are full of ambition to defend their Scudetto title by showing their new coach in the previous week. Even for the AC Milan team, I think they will also fire Pioli if he can't bring Ac milan to victory in the upcoming match.

regarding Salernitana vs Lazio match, remember that even a small team that has a bad performance at the bottom of the standings can beat a top team with a surprise that will happen and I also dont doubt Lazio performance but the unstable consistency makes me doubt it and on the one hand, always consider after the international break are there any players injured or tired and maybe I will just consider betting on the total score.

and Juventus vs Inter Milan match will indeed be a big match that fans are really looking forward to and most will say Juventus will win but I still have confidence that Inter can win narrowly in this match. I even believe more when I hear rumors that Inzaghi is preparing the line up special thing to be able to beat Juventus on their own turf.

Atalanta vs Napoli I will avoid matches that are difficult to predict because Napoli current situation is very bad, losing mainstay players who are injured and on the one hand, the coach who has just been brought in does not have a strategy or chemistry with other players.

there are lots of interesting matches but it is very clear that there are many surprises that will happen.
