Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Jatiluhung]

The last Serie A match on matchday 15 was quite crazy, Cagliari vs Sassuolo. The reason is Cagliari was able to make an epic comeback, and they scored 2 goals in the last minute. And with this victory, Cagliari now successfully climb and out of the relegation zone. Wow, very impressive guys. I don't believe that, this match will end with Cagliari winning. Maybe because Sassuolo players panicked and they also lost one player in the second half due to a red card, which was the reason of their defeat?

It was a great comeback from Cagliari. But still, in this match, Cagliari was almost embarrassed in front of its own supporters. But luck was on Cagliari's side. Because Sassuolo only played with 10 players from the 62nd minute after R. Tressoldi got a red card. Cagliari has now successfully moved away from the relegation zone. Although it is still not at a safe point because Cagliari's points difference with teams in the relegation zone is only 1 point. And just one defeat or one draw next week could put Cagliari back into the relegation zone.

They started the season very badly and didn't get a win at the start of the season. But after they beat Frosinone with a dramatic action, since then Cagliari started to improve. It's as if they are starting to rediscover their own confidence that was previously lost.

Honestly, my opinion is that the Juventus vs Napoli match is very clear that Juventus is really smart at finding gaps in Napoli's weaknesses by exploiting passes from the left corner of Napoli's goal where Napoli's defensive weakness is on Napoli's left side, so it's not surprising that Juventus can get a goal with Federico Gatti's header takes advantage of his superior height..

In the second half, Napoli almost equalized, but the linesman had raised his hand to indicate that Victor Osimhen was in the Offsite position, so there was no such thing as luck, but Juventus were really smart in looking for gaps in their enemy's weaknesses...

The league is almost halfway through the season and the race for the title is still very competitive. Juventus and Inter are really competing with a difference of only 2 points. I agree with you that Juventus is a team that is good at finding gaps in opponents' weaknesses. Even though Juventus' weakness here is in their strikers, this can be seen from the number of goals scored which is only 23 goals, but they can play very well with their defense so they often win with narrow scores.

When the match between Juventus and Inter ends in a draw, the competition continues to continue in the same way. Juventus is an important team and normally I would expect Vlahovic to score more goals. However, if we look at the number of goals scored, it is obvious that there is a problem. Offensive players need to be better. They should not waste even the smallest positions this season when they follow Inter.

Who would have thought that Cagliari could make an epic comeback like that in the last minute of stoppage time and be able to win this match and be able to steal 3 important points to take them out of the relegation zone, an interesting match and this is already as much of a prank as people would initially think. Sassuolo will win this match because they took the lead in the first half but Cagliari can surprise and take advantage of opportunities when Sassuolo is off guard.
La Padula was able to equalize the score 1:1 with a difference of 2 minutes. Pavoletti scored the winning goal and the match ended 2:1 at home Cagliari, congratulations on this victory Cagliari

Apart from that, there was another match, Empoli vs Lecce. This match was no less interesting because the match ended in a 1:1 draw. Empoli was lucky to get a GBD from a Lecce player, namely Rafia, who tried to block the ball but instead it went towards his own goal. At least both teams had to be satisfied with this draw.

Inter Milan team is stronger than Juventus. Juventus' main weakness is their attack. Juventus team is not getting very good performance from forward players if we compare them with Inter Milan. Juventus team managed to score 23 goals in 15 matches. They won most of the matches due to their strong defense. But almost every match they won by narrow goal margin. On the other hand, Inter Milan play completely attacking strategy and their attack is very strong. Inter Milan players scored 37 goals in 15 matches. And that's why I'm putting Inter Milan ahead of Juventus for the Serie A title.

Current difference with productivities goals Juventus have weakness with their attacking line but last match both team got draw when facing each other, I disagree with your opinion about Inter Milan has better performance than Juventus although less goals scoring than Inter Milan success scored 37 goals than 23 of Juventus goals in this season. Its not really important with how many goals scoring regarding Juventus can consistency get three points on every match although win with one or two goals only.
I don't think weakness goals make Juventus under Inter Milan as favorite team for winning Scudetto in this season, not participants on many competition give opportunity for Juventus keep their player on the top performance not get injury yet than Inter Milan must focus on Champion League match.

It was a much better result than a loss due to lack of numbers as Lukaku received a second red card in the 87th minute. Luckily, there was a Fiorentina player who also received a red card in the 90th minute because if he had not received a red card, Fiorentina could have scored another additional goal. The draw brought Jose Mourinho's team to the top four of the standings, three points behind Ac Milan in third place.

Lukaku deserved that red card for that reckless tackle. I was also surprised that an experienced striker like Lukaku would put that player in great danger, he should be cautioned because football promotes fair play. However, Napoli showed so much commitment, especially after the first red card. They kept fighting to defend their lead until they conceived the equalising goal. Jose Mourinho is building a team that will be a threat to other top-class teams.     

Roma will face Bologna and Napoli in the next match and this will be a difficult match because they lost both players due to accumulated red cards and also Dybala who experienced a thigh problem when facing Fiorentina, which could potentially prevent him from playing in the next match. In this way, the team's strength will be a little weak because it is not strengthened by several core players and this can make the match much more difficult.

Losing Lukaku is a big blow to the club because the Belgian international has proved to be an asset to the club. I was not impressed with Paulo Dybala performance against Fiorentina because missed a clear opportunity to extend Roma's lead. However, he is an experienced goalscorer who will also be missed in future games. Reports say he has a calf injury that will require a test to ascertain the gravity.

I hear rumors about Zlatan Ibrahimovic becoming a coach of AC Milan and replacing the current AC Milan coach. Is this true?
Ibrahimovic doesn't have any experience as a coach and such experiment would be extremely risky. I remember other AC Milan legends like Clarence Seedorf and Gennaro Gattuso being appointed in this position, but they failed and AC Milan was in a crisis for a long period.
My bet would be Inter winning this season of Serie A. I don't see any good competitors of Inter. Maybe Juventus is the only team, that can challenge the dominance of Inter, but I'm not sure about it.

There was a moment where Jose Mourinho gave instructions via a piece of paper that he gave to the ball boy. The paper contains tactics for the Roma players who had to play with 9 people after two players had to be sent off by the referee in the match. The situation at that time was that Roma was under pressure and Fiorentina received a corner kick so Jose Mourinho didn't have much time to give directions and the ball boy gave the piece of paper to goalkeeper Rui Patricio so he could convey his message to his teammates. However, if you look at it from another angle, the image instructs El Shaarawy and Edoardo Bove to help defend on the side of the goal post. Jose Mourinho always does things that really surprise everyone and at least he doesn't want his team to lose at home even though they are playing with only 9 people.

No coach and players want to lose a match and this match is important with AS Roma too. Fiorentina is one of opponents that is very close to Roma on ranking table so getting one point and maintain the same point difference against Fiorentina is good enough for Roma and Mourinho.

Using two players to defend two sides of the goal post is not something strange and I saw it many times. With 9 players and when the match has only a few minutes left, seriously defend to get a point makes sense.

This draw costs a lot from Roma as they will not have both Lukaku and Zalewski. The absence of Lukaku is very big loss for AS Roma when they will have three big matches ahead in Serie A with Bologna, Napoli and Juventus. Risk to drop out of top four after these three matches is big enough for Roma.

The draw between Inter and Juventus has further enlivened the competition because their point gap is still unchanged give that their point remain at the same points with a difference of 2 point  today.

But I quite like this situation   because after all this is the best part when talking about competition then it is indeed something like this that is expected. Now we just need to see how far their consistency will last and of course in this case who among them (Juventus / Inter) cannot do well in consistency then definitely lose their place and competition is likely to occur.
In addition Juventus must also realize that the situation last season must be used as a good lesson and some problems such as doping and other internal cases such as gambling on these players must be dealt with more strongly than before in order to create new strength for Juventus and not experience losses again in the future.

Tbh I don't know what internal problems Juventus is facing. Is it true that they are involved in doping? Are their players addicted to gambling?
But when it comes to the game, Juventus has a big weakness in their attack. I think they still don't have a good striker this season. Dušan Vlahović is a player with great potential. I think he will be one of the world class strikers in the future. But this season he has performed less than optimally and has only scored 5 goals for Juventus in the League. I think Inter still has the biggest chance of winning Serie A this season.

It is true that there are many rumors circulating that Zlatan Ibrahimovic will replace the position of AC Milan coach Stefanoo Pioli, but all of this is still being planned and is still being discussed by the AC Milan owner, because the truth cannot be confirmed. However, I think it is impossible to change the coach from AC Milan, because what you say is true. Zlatan Ibrahimovic doesn't have any experience as a coach, all of this will be a big risk, it will definitely fall apart in the future, and not only that, he also still has a very high level of selfishness within him. So it is impossible for him to become a coach and replace the existing coach. I think it's better for him to become an assistant coach to accompany him, from there maybe he can learn to be a good coach and develop with his team. I can't predict who will lift the trophy and win this Serie A, because Inter Milan and Juventus look very good in attack and defense. So let's see and wait who will win Serie A this season.

Although it is still not at a safe point because Cagliari's points difference with teams in the relegation zone is only 1 point. And just one defeat or one draw next week could put Cagliari back into the relegation zone..

Cagliari was actually lucky on that match because Sassuolo would have won them because at the beginning of the match Sassuolo was very impressive in performance than Cagliari that was why Sassuolo was able to score Cagliari the first goal at the 7 minutes of the match and they were able to defend the goal till they entered second half of the match were their hard luck began after they got the Red card on the 62 minutes of the match, so when Cagliari saw that Sassuolo was playing with a short one they immediately utilize the opportunity to mount the pressure on Sassuolo and later equalize with 1-1 on the 94 minutes to the end and however they still manages to score another goal in the space of five minutes after their first goal and by wining Sassuolo 2-1 at the end. So actually the only reason they were able to win Sassuolo on that match was just because of the Red card and perhaps even with the short one Sassuolo was still playing very well and they were still able to defend the goal till almost the ending part of the game before Cagliari manages to win them.

Jose Mourinho always does things that really surprise everyone and at least he doesn't want his team to lose at home even though they are playing with only 9 people.

But I appreciate the strategy made by Jose Mourinho for AS Roma in that match. Because the proof is that they can survive with a draw even though they only play with 9 people. But still, I really regret Lukaku who had to get a straight red card without receiving a yellow card first. I hope Lukaku is more careful in this matter. But it is not uncommon to see Lukaku get a red card, even at his previous clubs. But right now Roma really needs Lukaku. Luckily, AS Roma was able to defend well in this match. And the match could end with a share of points.

And actually defending with 10 players without conceding a goal since the 63rd minute was quite difficult for AS Roma. So they conceded 1 goal in the 66th minute. But unexpectedly it was Lukaku who then made a very dangerous tackle which got him sent off the field and made it even more difficult for AS Roma when they had to play with 9 players from the 88th minute. Luckily the US squad Roma can maintain that their goal is not conceded. But it was still a really fierce and quite hot match.

Talking about doping and gambling there is already evidence and we know some players at Juventus are involved in this such as Pogba who was proven to use Dopping (although it was said to be accidental) but the test showed he was dopping and had to accept a ban for a long time. In addition, Juventus midfielder Fagioli was also sentenced to 7 months because there were indications of his involvement in gambling which is already evidence that Juventus players are involved in scandals that harm the team. not to mention the effect of the punishment of the officials who disturbed them in a case that was almost the same as a few decades ago which made last season experience a decline in points and some of their officials became suspects for their actions this must always be considered because after all this clearly disturbs the stability of Juventus itself so Juventus must be more selective and firm if in the end something like this continues to happen every season then this will continue to disrupt their electability. as for the performance problem, there are some shortcomings in the performance of the team.

As for the performance problem, there are indeed some shortcomings that still need to be fixed but it is not too severe because the performance problem is a common thing and can be fixed over time.

they managed to draw with 9 players, which was truly incredible from my point of view
you know I'm not a big fan of Jose Mourinho, in fact I think he's just a presumptuous person paid too much
but in this match both he and the team performed a small miracle

Jose Mourinho is manager with typical more playing defensive than offensive, with 9 players left after Romelu Lukaku sent off on 88th minutes and AS Roma have loss their player before Nicola Zalewski got red card is not have many option except try to defend draw result. Not really bad result for AS Roma with one of three points on home match against Fiorentina with 9 player left on the field, but Roma loss the opportunity keep pressure AC Milan on the top position with four points left.

Current top fourth position from AS Roma not secure yet have Bologna, Napoli and Fiorentina will get AS Roma position if loss points on upcoming match. Some time, Jose Mourinho have change with his scheme not playing more defensive but have to play more offensive and score many goals on every match.

If it is true that AC Milan will make Ibrahimovic a coach, then it makes them like guinea pigs because they will use someone who has no experience as a coach. But from the news I heard, Ibrahimovic himself refused to do so, for whatever reason, he probably also thought that his ability was not yet able to handle a team as big as AC Milan.
Anything can happen, including this one player will change his mind over time. Or this could be one way for AC Milan to make their current coach feel threatened, so it could raise his motivation. Because AC MIlan itself will replace him if he doesn't give them the title.

And just one defeat or one draw next week could put Cagliari back into the relegation zone.

Yes, it was a great comback. In the first half the both teams could be said to be equal, but when a Sassuolo player received a red card in second half it make became difficult for Sassuolo. Indeed, Cagliari almost embarrassed if their players didn't have luck in the last minutes.
That's right, Cagliari current position is still not safe. Especially, if according to the schedule this week they will play against Napoli, I personally doubt Cagliari can continue their victory on next matchday 16. The reason is, although Napoli also don't have an impressive record in their last few matches, but Napoli still a high wall for Cagliari, in my opinion it would be very surprising if Cagliari could get points in that game.

Roma's performance this season is very good due to Mourinho's match strategy, Lukaku and Dybala's good performances. Roma are among the top four in the table this season. Lukaku has 7 goals and 1 assist in 13 games this season. He scored four goals in 5 Europa League matches. Dybala has only scored 4 goals in 11 matches but he has managed 6 important assists. Cristante and Belotti's performances are also excellent. For these reasons we all expected Roma to win against Ferentina. Had Nicola Zalewski not received the red card, the result of the match might have been in Roma's favor. Roma's performance in the second half was too slow for this red card. After Zalewski's red card, Roma couldn't create any strong attacking opportunities.

Jose Mourinho is a very good coach, infact one of the best in the world currently, he's had experience in several European leagues and won lots of trophies and kept good records wherever he goes to, last season he played the Europa League final with his current team against Sevilla and almost won but luck ran out of his sight, however he's still a very good coach and has used his experience and good strategy to get Roma this far in the Serie A and I won't be suprised if they finish top 3 and qualify for the UCL.

 Well I think the best thing Jose Mourinho did this season is by signing Romelu Lukaku to his team even though it's not a permanent deal, cause since Lukaku's arrival they've been doing pretty good upfront and he's made Roma's final third look more decorated with his good finishing, well they were very unlucky to had conceded a red card in their previous match but they really tried in securing a point with one man down.

after Mourinho efforts to try to bring in Lukaku, initially there was a lot of bad criticism aimed at Roma and there were still many who doubted Roma at that time, even I myself had doubts, but unfortunately we forgot something very important, if Lukaku previously had experience in Serie A with Inter, so this player doesn't need much time to understand the playing style in Series A and on the one hand Lukaku really understands the character of each team in Series A.
So it's only natural that Lukaku arrival gives a positive impression on Roma and in fact, even though it's not very consistent, Mourinho team is able to rank 4th in the standings and that means Lukaku arrival has made a very good contribution to Roma. but unfortunately this player in yesterday's match had to receive a red card after making a foul that was very dangerous to opposing players and the suspension that Lukaku had to go through deservedly had to be accepted so that he wouldn't commit the same offense again.
