Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Josefjix]

Regarding Ibrahimovic overtaking the scouting role, I don't think he would be available and ready to do that. He is not the kind of guy who likes to be sitting around as a scout and not say a lot about what's happening. I don't really have an opinion about him either when it comes to new positions in a club for him. I can't imagine how he would be as a manager or a coach. Not sure he wants that.

As for Milan, I think they are not strong enough to compete for the title and they are not weak enough to be overtaken by Roma and Bologna. If I had to guess I would probably place them where they are by the end of the season.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is a lion during his time an AC Milan player, he scored goals and achieved quite significant titles and award if honors for the club's he played for. To reconsider him belonging to the scouting sector for the Rissoneri, I don't think that will go along so well because we know how dominated he can be and the only thing to think of is Ibrahimovic leading such sector in a club, he needs to belong to more important sector that deals with the club's performance and players on the pitch, I'm confident the Swedish player can deliver the club.

I want to see from the other side if it is true that Ibrahimovic will come back to AC Milan, I don't know for sure what department he will be placed in if he goes to Milan, but what is clear is that he will enter Milan management. I think this is a positive thing to ask that Milan is currently inconsistent, maybe Ibrahimovic's presence can raise the spirits of Milan players because we know that Milan doesn't seem to be doing well and they need a figure who has charisma like Ibrahimovic within Milan.

What's more interesting is that Ibrahimovic's return to Milan means that this will be Ibrahimovic's third opportunity to join Milan. Ibrahimovic's arrival seems parallel to his success story in Milan. Of course, Milan hopes that his presence will have the same effect as when he was still a player, now Ibrahimovic is part of the team management, and he will work closely with Stefano Pioli and Furlani.

Yes but from what I can read his role isn't that clearly defined. It is said that he is going to be an advisor of club boss, but what does that even mean and will they really listen to him? The job as an advisor is the right thing to do for him. It is not extremely stressful and he can stay silent if he prefers to (although I know that this is not quite his thing to stay silent ).

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.     

Of course it's quite appropriate because the tackle he does can endanger other players and Lukaku should be able to avoid it because Rome needs himself to remain consistent in maintaining the top three standings. The morality of Napoli players will definitely improve after they make sure to qualify for the last 16 of the Champions League and slowly Walter Mazzarri tries to restore the morality of the players and he will also struggle to restore Napoli's performance to be more stable slowly.

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.   

The upcoming match will make Jose Mourinho have to rack his brain to mix the strategy and if the three players are not available it will be quite difficult to face Napoli after facing Bologna because Napoli will slowly show a positive trend after the change of coach. Paulo Dybala was not consistent because he often suffered injuries that affected his appearance and maybe that's why Jose Mourinho was so determined to recruit Lukaku in the last transfer market.

Cagliari vs Sassuolo between these two teams Sassuolo team scored 1 goal. Cagliari team won this match by scoring 2 goals. The game saw a beautiful game between two teams. Goalkeeper of Sassuolo team did not perform well due to which Sassuolo team lost the match by two goals.  Sassuolo team started well in the first stage but did not perform well in the end which resulted in not winning this match.

But if one of the Sassuolo players doesn't get a red card then I think Sassuolo will win the match. Will even score again in the second half. But Cagliari was actually quite lucky because they faced Sassuolo who only had 10 players from the 62nd minute after R. Tressoldi got a red card. But I quite enjoyed the match. Although at first I didn't really focus on watching. But only after Sassuolo lost one player did I start to focus. And I'm sure how annoyed the Sassuolo squad was when their goal finally conceded the ball. Even in the final minutes of the match. Well, it was lucky for Cagliari thanks to their hard work in this match. But next week Cagliari will definitely have difficulties again because they have to face Napoli.

Yes, Cagliari was able to take advantage of the opportunity when Sassuolo was forced to play with 10 players and Sassuolo lost their balance. Cagliari immediately gave a slightly aggressive resistance and provided attacks that made it difficult for Sassuolo until in the end Cagliari was able to score 2 goals at once in the last minute, precisely in the minute of added time and Of course, this really shocked the Sassuolo club, which should have been their victory, but instead it turned into a defeat.

In the next match I think Cagliari will have difficulty because their opponent is a pretty tough team even though Napoli have not had good results lately but Napoli's opponents are big clubs, namely Juventus and Inter Milan, I think in this match Napoli will win, especially since this match will Taking place at Napoli's home ground, Napoli will of course get the full 3 points.

Napoli is currently also not in good condition. But still the level of strength between Cagliari and Napoli is clearly very different. Cagliari probably won yesterday against Sassuolo. Even though I think it was a win based on luck but still we can't underestimate them. Because it's possible that Cagliari will try to make their match against Napoli end in a draw. Because of course Cagliari must realize that they are not at the same level. And again, Napoli will actually benefit from playing at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium. As hosts, of course Napoli will play with more confidence. In fact, it is not surprising that Napoli will try to score lots of goals in this match. I doubt Cagliari will be able to create a defense that can withstand every attack from the Napoli Army.

Yeah you are right, the match between Cagliari and Sassuolo reminds me of the match between Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea on there premier league because on that match Tottenham Hotspur was actually dominating the match from the first half while Chelsea was finding it difficult to perform but immediately Tottenham Hotspur was issued a Red card that was when Chelsea took the advantage of the opportunity and win Tottenham Hotspur. So that was similarly what happened on the match between Cagliari and Sassuolo because on the first half Sassuolo was dominating the match but the minutes they were issued the red card that was when there problem started and Cagliari was fast enough to utilize the opportunity and win them.

There is a Lazio - Inter game this week. Lazio are having a quite poor season so I'm curious about how good they can play in this big game. They have a really impressive record against Inter in home games in the recent years. Because they haven't lost to Inter home since October 2018. But thinking of their current condition I'm not so sure about whether they can maintain this record.

Inter are having a very solid season unlike them. Despite playing away here I still expect them to be the much better playing side. Even if Lazio score first I think Inter would most probably win the game.

In terms of strength, Napoli is indeed stronger than Cagliari, but with Napoli's current condition being very difficult, Cagliari can take advantage of this to steal points at home to Napoli this weekend.
And on the other hand, Napoli also have the same ambition to win the match and make the match against Cagliari a turning point for Napoli to recover after losing their last 2 matches.

This will be a difficult match of course for both teams even though Napoli have a higher percentage of winning the match because this match will be played at their home ground, but Cagliari is also a strong team and is ready to provide fierce resistance.

If it was last season, one would have certainly predicted that Napoli would comfortably win the game against Cagliari. But Napoli's performance has declined to the extent that their games are becoming very difficult to predict. Cagliari was fortunate to win the game against Sassuolo. They only took advantage of the exhausted Sassuolo players after Tressoldi got a red card in the 62nd. They had to mount pressure on the visitors until they were lucky to get two goals in the extra time.

I don't think the second yellow card on Tressoldi was justifiable because he went for the ball with his leg while Gianluca Lapadula put his head and they incidentally had contact.  Sassuolo also lost a man in their last game against when Boloca received a red card in the 63rd minute. Against all odds, I think Napoli will be coming strong after qualifying for the round of 16 by defeating Braga.

I think Cagliari will play a defensive game to give Napoli difficulty in order to draw, but I don't think Napoli will still have difficult time to win because Napoli needs to win in order to more to the top, if the match between Roma and Bologna ends in a draw, Napoli will still be in the fourth place in group standing. I know Napoli are not performing well right now, but I don't think Cagliari will be difficult for them to win despite Napoli playing in their home ground. I'm sure Cagliari will put in every effort to defeat Napoli or draw in order to avoid dropping back into the relegation zone, but I don't think Napoli will have a difficult time playing them.

As you said, there were not many goals in this week's matches. The matches, except for Atalanta and Inter, were a bit boring, almost every team managed to score only 1 goal. Inter survived another difficult match with success. and by scoring 4 goals at once. They want to be champions and they will do whatever it takes to achieve this

Inter played an amazing game against Undinese, winning 4:0 in the end after scoring three goals in the first half. Inter Milan wants to win the Italian championship this season, and I think they'll do all it takes to win the title. Juventus is giving them serious challenges to catch up, but Inter won't give them a chance, since they are still ahead of Juventus by two points.

Cagliari's victory against Sassuolo did have a bit of an element of luck because if we look at the strength of the Cagliari team as a whole it was not that good.
Visiting Napoli's headquarters this weekend will certainly be a difficult match for the Cagliari team because even though Napoli are in a slump, they also have better strength than Cagliari, making it possible for Napoli to recover in this match.

With the many changes that have occurred to return to their best performance, the Napoli team this season has made them increasingly behind but they should not be underestimated, their squad is still capable of being in the team, with a new coach in place and we just need to wait for time for Napoli to be able to get up and be consistent so that you can be on a positive path again to win the Scudetto title this season.
I see that the Napoli team is still quite strong this season, and I am sure they will be able to get out of their slump.

Napoli really needs to win again in the match against Cagliari. Because currently Napoli is ranked 6th. And of course Napoli really wants to return to the top 4 rankings. But I think it's not now. Because even if Napoli wins and gets full points, it will only move Napoli up to 4th place if the Roma vs Bologna match ends in a draw. If one of them loses and wins then this will only make Napoli ranked 5th.

This season seems quite difficult for Napoli. Until they had to experience being ranked 6th. And maybe it would be a very big surprise if Napoli didn't manage to get full points in the match against Cagliari. Because of course Cagliari will also prepare a strong defense for this match.

Yes, your speculation seems to be coming true because Roma doesn't seem like they will be able to beat Bologna, while the away game makes it difficult for Roma to score, whereas if Bologna wants to beat Roma it will also be very difficult because Roma's defenders are currently in very good condition so it is very likely the match will again end in a draw.
But it's a little doubtful considering that Lukaku is currently suspended after committing a serious violation against Fiorentina and it looks like Lukaku will miss the match against Bologna.
For Napoli, who will play Cagliari, it is certain that Napoli will win, beating this weak club, even though they have previously beaten Sassuolo, but that doesn't mean they can hold a draw or beat Napoli because in terms of player performance, Napoli is far superior and it is certain that Napoli will get 3 points from the upcoming match to get 4th place displaces Roma.

After the win last night against a Braga in a pretty good form, I'm sure they would want to repeat the same performance against Cagliari.
The attacking pressure was soich that Braga scored for Napoli. They should do well to repeat same attitude and energy during the weekend. They might not be in the best fo form, but this would not be the game to see them losing in front of the home fans. Winning this game would shoot em back to the top of the first four clubs in the Seria A.

Former Parisians Midfielder Thiago Motta has really improved Bologna and the game against Jose Mourinho would be tough, knowing well that it'll be difficult without the leading goal scoring player for As Roma and Jose Mourinho. ( Romelu Lukaku ). Congratulations to Victor Oshime who won the CAF award few days ago.

Napoli's two consecutive defeats have indeed made the team's mentality and self-confidence decline, especially with its new coach, so the match against Cagliari this weekend means that the Napoli team must win in order to improve their position in the standings and increase their self-confidence.
If you look at the quality that Napoli has, I think it is not impossible for them to win this weekend's match, especially since the match will be played at Napoli's home ground.

So far, Napoli's results have been quite bad, but they are still quite acceptable results considering that the opponents are Inter and Juventus. If Napoli lost against a weak team, it would definitely be a serious topic of conversation in the dressing room. Against Cagliari shouldn't be a problem for Napoli, especially since they also just won in the Champions League against Braga. This will be important capital for the players to improve their performance on the field later and they must win against Cagliari at home. Osimhen also scored another goal in the match against Braga last night and that also gave him confidence again to make a contribution for Napoli in other Serie A matches.

UEFA Champions League matches are tough and Napoli winning their last match in group stage, it automatically sends a message to their next opposition in Seria A to simply prepare to face the wrath of Napoli. The new boss, Walter Mazzarri is doing his best, though he's best is not good enough but considering the top teams he faced, atleast he did try to put up a tough fight. Napoli won yesterday against Sporting Braga in UCL and Victor Osimhen scored to put his side infront. There's nothing to ginger about other than pressing pressure on winning league matches.

Despite the fact that Napoli had some challenges after letting go of their previous manager who won them the Scudetto, and employing a low profile manager with little experience and good managerial skills towards big players, they're still a big team and it's obvious that what they needed was a good manager with experience, one that could handle the dressing room properly and about yesterday, they showed their class against Braga in their final UCL game by securing a 2-0 victory, thanks to Victor Osimhen for finding the back of the net and sealing the victory in the 1st half.

 Well this win would really give them a big boost in their next match and they really need to secure the 3points to boost them up in the standings, they're in the 6th position and playing against 16th position Cagliari at their home ground, therefore i don't think it should be a big deal for Napoli since their key player Osimhen is back and fully fit.

It's very obvious all in for intermilan. You can call me dumb enough if i was betting on the lazio. Intermilan is very strong unlike the last season. I see no reason for us to take lazio instead of intermilan at this moment. Intermilan has proven its qquality compared to the last season. Lazio will be struggling against it. Im not calling lazio was bad but i just try to realize with the fact that if intermilan may be strong enough to lose against lazio.
Lazio is just performing like a medium club at this moment. It's still very bad choice.
