Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Phoenix Anka]

Milan are the only team that have a chance to keep up with Inter and Juventus in the standings. However they pulled away from Milan even more by the results of the previous week.    Atalanta made really serious difficulties for Milan. They got ahead 2 times and it was obvious they weren't going to let Milan go away with a win there. That winning goal in the last minutes devastated Milan.

Now even Juventus are 7 points ahead of Milan. This is a serious gap thinking that we haven't even completed the first half of the season. It looks like this will be more like a title competition between two teams - Inter and Juventus. It is early to say so maybe but I don't think both of them will start performing badly for a long time.

Previously, Milan was team that could match Juventus and Inter this season, but in the current conditions it seems that hope has disappeared because the gap between Milan and the top two teams is very large.
No team can stop Inter and Juventus this season unless they suffer consecutive defeats, in the future, there may be chance for another team to rise, but this is unlikely to happen.
The fight for first place and the title will continue between Inter as the top of the standings and Juventus as the team in 2nd place and of course those who are only two points apart will try hard to win the title this season.
Serie A will only enter its 16th week and soon the transfer window will also open so that several teams will have the opportunity to get several players to improve their squad and be able to get better place.

So, from the 7 point difference, if Milan wants to be able to compete and become one of the candidates in the race for the title, then needs at least 3 wins with 2 losses Juventus in the next match.
But this will only be hope that is difficult to come true and even luck will not be able to make Milan become the strongest team this season.

Yeah previously Milan even won the Serie A title in the 2021/22 season. However they are struggling to be a part of a title competition for two seasons. Napoli dominated the whole season previously though so no other team were able to keep up with them. But right now things are different. More than one team are in this competition now.

Milan need to deal with their defending first I assume. Because their scoring capability isn't that bad however I can't say the same for their defensive side.    They are one of the most conceding teams among the ones at top positions right now.

Milan started the season in a super form but after a while they started declining in performance and this happened after Inter won them. Italian league is not like EPL that one club will win the league straight three times. The competition there is very high and any club can win the league, it all depends on which club is strong that season. I believe that it is time for Inter to win the league as they haven't won it recently and I believe that has been their target for the season. However,  Juventus is a threat to them and if they lose focus on the league, it can be snatched from them by Juventus who are currently in a strong form.

Compared to the quality of the squad, I think Juventus has a less qualified squad. That's why Inter has more chances, but they will also play important matches in the UCL. Additionally, players may have international country matches and if they get injured in those matches, this could affect Inter greatly. It promises to be a great season this year. It is a very enjoyable season to watch.

Current AC Milan form makes me see your point. This season feels like a rollercoaster, right? The discrepancy is obvious. However, I see their chances differently. AC Milan is out of the Champions League, but that doesn't hurt their Serie A chances. They'll play in the Europa League, which has less pressure than the Champions League. This may be beneficial.

This schedule shift may allow them a break to focus on Serie A. Juventus only playing in Serie A is a great advantage, but it doesn't make them unbeatable. Inter may struggle with the Champions League. It's unlikely AC Milan will beat them, but there's a little window of possibility. Milan may improve their defense if they take advantage of this. We may see them close that point gap.

It's not that they are bad or anything, it's the simple fact that they are not consistent. They have played some amazing games, they have played like they are the best team in the whole world at some games and then they have lost to some terrible teams as well. They do not look like they are consistent and that's the worst type of team to bet on, because you do not know if the yare going to end up getting a win or they are going to end up with a loss.

If you knew that they have a certain talent level, win or lose, you would be able to bet on them and think that they could win. But, I have seen them be good enough to beat teams like Inter or Juventus, they were that good, and also I have seen them play like they could lose to some Serie B teams as well. This type of inconsistency is the reason why they are not getting anything easy for the gamblers, because I would not be able to bet on them to win any games since I do not know which day they are on.

I'm not giving up on bianconeri this season, they are building the club and there's strong probability of the club bouncing back. Juventus are trying everything they could to bounce back to the squad, everything becomes very volatile for the club each time the club important players sustained injuries. I've watch Juventus pattern of game and I must comment that they're not in good shape this season, having one of the promising coach in the club, Massimiliano Allegri keeps making both good and poor results, I believed he can make things right for the club in due time.

Juventus is an important team and they continue to be successful, challenging Inter in the championship race. They will soon play away against Genoa and this is a match that may affect the course of the league. If they win this match, they will become temporary leaders. Milan is far away from them and there seems to be a title race between them and Inter. The Scudetto race was not good last year, but there is a better race this year. Last year Napoli won by a wide margin and the competition was less.

It's indeed important to have quality squad in determining success, but fixtures are also something to concern about. Inter having a better quality squad is not an advantage due to having more competition to compete in, because the additional fixtures can be physically demanding and could potentially impact their domestic performances. Inter having more players to have International Duties is also a disadvantage for them. This can be a complexity of situation to their season.

The competitive balance and unpredictability in outcomes make the season intriguing, but it's indeed enjoyable to watch. The recognition of external factors like international commitments and the potential for injuries can define the uncertainty that makes football an exciting show to watch. This anticipation delivers excitement for us as football fans, because we can watch how different factors play out and influence the league standings. I think Inter has prepared to everything expected situation that them favorite to win the league.

Inter are lucky in many ways, and we must highlight that Jevuntus also faces a slightly complicated situation. Pogba doping scandal and Nicolo Fagioli gambling scandal were a blow to Alleggri in addition to player injury problems. But Juventus is still capable of putting pressure on Inter, which is what really interests us all at the moment.

Soon the january transfer window will reopen, and I think Alleggri has several names to target when building his squad in the second half of the season. Management must pay attention to Alleggri wishes, and they must also be more careful in making policies to avoid any sanctions in the future.

Even though Juventus have more free time because they are absent from European competitions, they don't necessarily have to relax in their pursuit of the Scudetto. Inter of course also want the same thing, and will continue to try to divide their focus between the UCL and Serie A, and I think they are used to facing that challenge before. Although it is quite reasonable to say that Juventus has a better chance, Inter will not let anyone step over their position.

You know quite well that napoli has being participating well in this season so I don't think that a club like Cagliari can be able to defeat Napoli, so their match is something I think that they will win be Napoli to defeat Cagliari or the match will end with a draw because I have not seen a sound player in Cagliari that will bring them a Victory, so let us say that the match will end draw, if you have watch a Napoli tram before you see that their performance is uncomparable with the team of Cagliari, shall in football we don't need to be myopic or one sided because what you don't expect can happen that is why they find it very difficult to predict a football matches. So in summary any tram can win but I'm not given a Cagliari a 💯 predictions and assurance of wining

The difference in squad depth makes Napoli more favored rather than Cagliari. Apart from that, it would also be very bad for Walter Mazzarri if in the end Napoli lost at home, and of course it would be very surprising and disappointing for the supporters Napoli. On the other side, I think Victor Osimhen will do his best performance against Cagliari, considering that currently there are rumors about him, which are this a great striker will sign a new deal with Napoli. So Cagliari chances of getting points are getting small, because Osimhen is expected to score lots of goals.

In another match, in a few minutes we will see Juventus gameplay against Genoa. I have a very high hopes for Juventus victory tonight. Apart from betting on them, I would like to see Juventus at the top for a while.

Inter is still trying to widen the gap with its closest competitor, but Juventus, who is in second place, continues to catch up by maintaining the point difference so that it is not too far apart. The race for the Serie A title this season is not very competitive, only Inter and Juventus are the ones who stand out the most and maintain their performance well, while the teams in third and fourth are only able to provide competition in the European zone.

Juventus is very likely to force Inter Milan to be in second place in the Serie A table. A change in position will occur when Juventus visits the Genoa Stadium today.
Two points behind Inter Milan is not a difficult thing for Juventus to do because Juventus does not have a busy playing schedule based on the calendar this season, only Serie A and the Coppa Italia. Juventus will be favored because they do not have a busy playing schedule which can force the players' physical performance to be optimal compared to Inter Milan who are still in the Champions League.

Tonight? Lol. Genoa would even be the one forcing the old ladies to share points with them tonight if they fail to take good use of them chances. I'm also suspecting Inter Milan to drop points this weekend after a strong fixture against Real Sociedad in the Champions League final game in the group stage. I'm predicting they'll share points and end up playing a fulltime draw. Genoa are troublesome whenever Juventus face them at home, they have been tipped to score a goal in this game because they have done that in the last five games Juventus have visited them. Who will help deliver em tonight since they lack capacity scoring goals. Moise Kean, Dusan Vlahovic and Kostic all are qualified for that but haven't bailed Juventus this season.

They shouldn't fail to make additions into their squad and it's mandatory the additions are meant to be attacking minded players who can score goals and create chances for them.

Only two teams are fighting for the Serie A title this season. Apart from Inter Milan and Juventus, the other teams are far behind in the title race. AC Milan performed very well at the beginning of the season, but now Milan's performance is very erratic. On the other hand, Juventus and Inter Milan teams are consistently performing well. However, the Inter Milan team is ahead of Juventus. Because Inter Milan's attack is very strong this season. They scored 37 goals in 15 matches. On the other hand, Juventus players scored 23 goals. For this reason, my Inter Milan team seems to be the most favorite and deserving of this season's title so far.

[kawetsriyanto]

In terms of squad strength, Napoli are still better than Cagliari but indeed with the current performance and the pressure given to the new coach, I can't really predict that Napoli will win 3 points in this match.

No doubt that Napoli has a stronger squad. I think Cagliari is just a small team in Serie A. Napoli shouldn't have a problem to beat Cagliari although they have a new coach. Mazzarri must know well how to deal with a team like Cagliari. It should be an easy match for him, I think we can predict it easily when it is against small team.

They are still very weak in terms of consistency and that still cannot be fully corrected by Mazzari, who is a new coach, especially the 2 big matches that he immediately encountered when he became the new coach, will slightly raise the level of pessimism.

We can't easily conclude it because Napoli faced strong teams lately. I think Napoli must play more consistently if they play against average teams in Serie A. It become very difficult for Mazzarri because he must face 2 strongest teams in Serie A in the last 2 matches (Inter Milan and Juventus). I think we don't need to feel worried because they are defeated by 2 strongest teams.

1-1 between Juventus and Genoa after 50 mins, not a good feeling.

Things like this will be very easy if the attack line, especially the problem of goal productivity from Napoli, can run well, it's just that seeing from the current situation actually I think there will be a lot of doubts, especially for the problem of their goal productivity.
Until now we know that only Osimhen has always been the backbone of Napoli and when he experienced the need for other players sometimes could not provide something that could be an option to score goals that made this a little complicated.
The expectation of course is 3 points especially since this is an easy one for Napoli.

They are still very weak in terms of consistency and that still cannot be fully corrected by Mazzari, who is a new coach, especially the 2 big matches that he immediately encountered when he became the new coach, will slightly raise the level of pessimism.

Some of their internal issues are still very troubling which results in this making the stability especially in performance issues very pronounced. Losing their coach has made them like chickens who have lost their mother because their direction is uncertain and at the moment I think they are in transition and with this situation then I still feel that if we talk about overall performance then this season is like there is no hope for them if the initial goal is to defend the Scudetto.

They shouldn't fail to make additions into their squad and it's mandatory the additions are meant to be attacking minded players who can score goals and create chances for them.

Genoa have succeeded in scoring an equalizer after conceding a penalty which was scored by one of Juventus star player Chiesa, in the 28th minutes of the game, but I won't conclude yet whether both teams would end up sharing points after the final whistle cause there's still enough time to turn the game around, they're currently at the 60th minute and I believe Juventus would try to find the back of the net again before the final whistle.
 
 Well with Juventus facing this kind of situation against a team that's in the 14th position, even while they got top players that could help make things easier for them, it means they still got lots of work to be done in the recruitment area and since the January window is around the corner, it's a very big advantage to them cause it gives them an opportunity to bluster their team and help them on their journey for the title race.

[nurilham]

1-1 between Juventus and Genoa after 50 mins, not a good feeling.

Yes, the current score is Genoa 1 vs 1 Juventus.
It is quite surprising that Genoa can make Juventus to get difficulty winning this match. Just look at the stats, Genoa has done good job so far because they could make shoot attempts almost the same as Juventus. If this continues until the end of the match, a draw result is very possible for both teams. The match is reaching 70 minutes, still no change in the score.

Sure, Juventus needs to improve their squad. They probably buy midfielders and attackers in January transfer window. They must have a good squad depth to compete for the title, they must show their best in each match to shorten the point gap with Inter Milan. Although they only focus on the domestic competitions, no guarantee that all the players will always be in good condition.

It's quite unfortunate to see how the match between Genoa vs Juventus went. Even though Genoa is a middle-team, it shouldn't be such a headache for Juventus. However, until the 72nd minute, Juventus still seemed to have difficulty breaking through Genoa's defense, especially to score a goal. One Juventus goal even came from a final kick. This is quite surprising. Juventus should be more focused and solid, don't let it lose the opportunity to win and lose points. Because these points are very important for them so they can continue to stay at the top. But unfortunately if it continues like this and there are no significant changes from Juventus, maybe they will draw.

The probability of a draw is bigger than a team winning, yet Juventus still has an opportunity to score and grab 3 points in this match.
Juventus needs these points to keep up with Inter and avoid seeing them getting a gap up to four points this round. Genoa too need to get points, even one point is a good result for them since they are facing a top team like Juventus.
Only few minutes of the game and the result is still 1 - 1.

[Weawant]

Juventus tonight has got a really good performance which I'm quite impressed with and definitely commend, their attack and midfield is really active and in their good form performing optimally, Geno as well isn't making it easy for Juventus at all as they have got a good defensive tactics with which they are putting up a great resistance against Juventus .

Geno has got an equalizer Already in the second half of the game so far, hopefully Juventus gets another goal to probably seal their victory because they have got a better possession and attempt in this game than Genoa but then it's seems genoa is looking for every chance to get a counter it's already pass the 80th minutes of the second half but then I still believe Juventus will get something bout of this match, as normal football is a game of possibilities so anything can still happen in the last minute.

If compared to last season about Napoli who managed to dominate Serie A well then yes, at least in this moment or in this season there is competition happening . Although only about Inter and Juventus but still, they will be the Serie A title race this season to be more competitive than last season.

But yes, even though Juventus only focus on the domestic league but for me it is still not easy for Juventus to overtake Inter. Because yes, the match results that Juventus have so far are also at least Juventus cannot always win easily. Even though Juventus only play against mediocre teams, but Juventus still have to make greater efforts to win. Therefore, I believe there is still no strong guarantee for Juventus to be able to win the Scudetto this season.

Napoli performance is not the same as last season because of the change of coach which meant they couldn't find better tactics like last season. Napoli are no longer candidates for champions this season because they are already out of the top 4 and are also far behind Inter Milan. I am more confident that they will finish in the top 4 this season but not become champions. Inter Milan is stronger this season, they lead the standings by far ahead of Napoli who are ranked 6th.

Tomorrow Napoli will face Cagliari and this match is an easy match for them because Napoli strength is stronger than Cagliari. Walter Mazzarri must be able to bring Napoli to victory in tomorrow match because they are only 1 point different from Roma who are in 4th place, so a win will take them back to the top 4.

[GiftedMAN]

Compared to the quality of the squad, I think Juventus has a less qualified squad. That's why Inter has more chances, but they will also play important matches in the UCL. Additionally, players may have international country matches and if they get injured in those matches, this could affect Inter greatly. It promises to be a great season this year. It is a very enjoyable season to watch.

I'm not giving up on bianconeri this season, they are building the club and there's strong probability of the club bouncing back. Juventus are trying everything they could to bounce back to the squad, everything becomes very volatile for the club each time the club important players sustained injuries. I've watch Juventus pattern of game and I must comment that they're not in good shape this season, having one of the promising coach in the club, Massimiliano Allegri keeps making both good and poor results, I believed he can make things right for the club in due time.

Juventus is an important team and they continue to be successful, challenging Inter in the championship race. They will soon play away against Genoa and this is a match that may affect the course of the league. If they win this match, they will become temporary leaders. Milan is far away from them and there seems to be a title race between them and Inter. The Scudetto race was not good last year, but there is a better race this year. Last year Napoli won by a wide margin and the competition was less.

Juventus is a good team but I disagree with you on the statement of them being successful because they have not won a major trophy for a long time now even their league it's been years since they last won it. Juventus contending with Inter Milan this season is not a big deal infact they ought to be the league leaders in the league following what they passed through last season as a result of points deduction that led to them not being among the teams in the European championship I even expected them to utilize the opportunity of focusing on the league this season to win the league so they they will have something to prove that they are back since inter Milan is playing in the UCL and also fighting to remain ontop of the league. I think the Scudetto race will be between inter and juve this season following their performance not writing off Napoli the defending champions even though they aren't in better shape but I think the fight for the title winners will be a good fight than that or last season where Napoli dominated all the teams with a big gap to emerge as winners.
