Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[bastisisca]

The first half was passed in the match between Bologna vs AS Roma and Bologna had scored first, anyone who thinks AS Roma will score should also be more careful because I don't see Lukaku in the line up including on the bench as we know Lukaku is always a mainstay for scoring goals without Lukaku I doubt AS Roma can do it especially now that their opponent is Bologna I mean it's hard to beat Bologna when playing at home even Napoli, Lazio and Inter Milan couldn't do it so don't get trapped and I think Bologna will maintain this position until the end of the match, with an additional 3 points Bologna managed to reach the top 4 shifting Napoli who dropped one level. The battle for 4th and 5th place will continue at least 4 teams are fighting for this position and we can't yet predict who will get it moreover none of them are consistent in every match, Napoli can actually be relied on but there are still problems on the defense line.

---cut---

I have to say in all honesty that I am truly disappointed with the result and Roma`s performance
I didn`t think that their cup dreams could really be dashed against Bologna, who don`t have the strength that Roma theoretically has
what can I say, this is the beauty of football

Inter already winning, I guess it is not a surprise.

They have no contender this year.

[Velvet78]

It is too early to make such comment in my opinion. Because there are 22 more games to be played for Napoli. Everything can change significantly in this time period. Mazzarri isn't a very successful manager considering his whole career so I wouldn't be so sure about him already. He doesn't have a much different career than Rudi Garcia in the end.

This win over Cagliari was good for Napoli. This would surely improve their morale to play better in next games. But we need to see some consistency from them in the future to be able to trust them more for betting on them as well. For now I will continue to avoid betting on them. 

Staying Consistent shouldn't be too much of a big deal for Napoli. They have to play again like they did last season even of that'll be difficult to see. They did yesterday though, I saw togetherness amongst the players and the first half was also filled with chances and entertainment.

Asides them next game against As Roma, the next four games in the league won't be difficult, only if they avoid getting Injured and stay focused. A little bit of fatigue could come up when they begin the second phase of the Champions League round of sixteen. Goal ans assist for Victor Oshime, he's goal was great but have you seen his assist for Khivicha Kvaratskhelia? That was a great game for them.

I have seen Osimhen's incredible assist, yeah.    He told us with that amazing assist that he was ready to rock again. Osimhen's best performance is really needed for Napoli to recover quicker. They need to get better in big games as well in time. They can do this by having a bigger scoring productivity from now on.

That Roma game is really going to be challenging for Napoli next time. It is an away game and Roma would definitely like to win this game to have a morale boost and put an end to their bad streak as well. This is another big test for Mazzarri so let's see what he will do.

[nurilham]

No doubt Lazio is a strong team whenever they are playing at home and probably would want to engage Inter on a final draw if inter didn't persist in winning the match, But with the strength I have seen in the Inter Milan team lately, I doubt if Lazio would be able to denied them that 3 points which will help them stand some points clear ahead of their major league team contender Juventus whom they are currently gapping with just a point.

I agree, Lazio is a strong team whether playing at home or away. This team finished as the runner-up of Serie A in the last season. However, they are no longer as strong as previous season. In the current match, Lazio clearly showed their domination playing at home, they are leading in the ball possession and total number of shots. However, Inter Milan knows how to play effectively, they could score 1 goal although they don't dominate the match. I'm also very sure that Inter Milan is capable to get 3 points from Lazio home. Inter Milan has great attackers, they are quite productive in scoring goals. I guess the match will end with 2-0, Inter Milan scored 2 goals.  

[Weawant]

Now Napoli is also starting to be chased by other teams such as Fiorentina after the Fiorentina team won in their home match today and Napoli's own number of points is also the same as Fiorentina. So Napoli are now really feeling the pressure to maintain their position in the top four of the standings and must be able to do something to stay in that position during this season. Because this season it will be very difficult for Napoli to get a trophy like they got last season, but at least Napoli can get a top four position so they can enter the UCL competition again next season.

I've always known that Napoli was definitely going to get back better in their form and probably get to the top of the table, the coach change was the only temporary change they got which it's effect was definitely not going to long jus like we did see that it wasn't long enough they got back their form and are now gradually getting back to the table top.

Their formal coach did appeared to look like their problem at the time because some of the players were almost not getting comfortable with the atmosphere he seem to bring around them so relieving him of his job got the players some how more comfortable and so far it's evident in their performance and the results they produce, the problem Napoli will be facing now will have to be maintaining a good position well enough so they get to finish top four by the end of the season if they are not able to defend the title again.

Lazio are in decline this season they are in the middle of the table position 11 is now far different from last season which dominated the top table despite being runner up.

In this match it seems that Lazio cannot do much they have to lose at home while indeed the attacks from Inter Milan are quite good and become goals, now that possession has been taken over by Inter Milan it seems that they will continue to press until the end of the match.

Lazio's bad record so far they have lost 7 times, this means that it is not good in their squad.

[swogerino]

It is not Lazio who is in a serious decline this year,sure they are not in the same form as last year yet they are a decent team,the real fact is that Inter is in top form this season and they will win any adversary easily most of the time.Lazio was just the adversary of the round and they won it effortlessly.Lazio played very hard in Champions League last match day which was impacting their performance of tonight,Inter on the other side did not play very hard,they maybe intentionally kept the 2nd place in the Champions League as surely with the team they have now they are more than capable to win against Real Sociedad.

In Serie A though is another story they are the team to beat,the most strong contenders to the title.

[Raflesia]

It looks like this victory will last until the end because after all, looking at the time that is currently only 5 minutes of normal time, although it looks like Monza still intends to reduce the gap but it is quite difficult. Milan are playing very well and I like the improvements they've made in this match which makes me confident that this will be a 3-goal win without reply.
But even if Monza eventually score this goal it will not matter now because looking at what is happening now it is certain that 3 points will be obtained by Milan in this match and with this result Milan will distance themselves again from Napoli.
My 2 bets went very well for serie A just waiting for Milan's result to benefit from my multi this week for Serie A.

Yep, the match ended with a unanimous score for Milan and although my expectations were not well realized because Monza could not score a single goal there but I am quite happy with the results that occurred in this match.
On the other hand for the Inter match I think it would be a good advantage if it was bet on because whatever the probability is at the moment Inter are ahead even though they are playing away.
With the odds currently at 1.90 I think it would be a good bet and you're doing the right thing in this one because after all, it looks like Inter can still win this one.
But looking at Lazio's performance now I don't think it's a problem to bet on both clubs to score even though it's still risky especially Inter are still very good in terms of defense but I think it's still very worth it.

Betting on both teams to score is tempting but as you say the risk is huge and I wouldn't take such a risk because I want a sure thing and betting on multi with clubs like Milan, Napoli and Inter is quite satisfying this week.
It's 0-2 to Inter at the moment and with time running out I think this will be a winning multi bet for me.

Inter are still too strong for Lazio although in terms of possession and opportunities it is not too different but in terms of utilization of momentum Inter are much better.

I think at this time the score 0-2 will still be the final score of the match if you see the remaining time at this time especially Lazio also lost 1 player in the remaining time now.

[ginsan]

Yes, Simic's goal was great for him and Milan. Milan urgently need to find a solution to their muscle injuries, otherwise it will be very difficult for them both in the league and in Europe. When I saw the score 3-0, I thought dida, maldini, serginho, nesta, stam, pirlo, gattunso, kaka, inzaghi, shevcenko were back in football. You know milan can't score like that these days. In the 3rd goal Giroud made the same assist in the Newcastle match, it is inconceivable to think and play so fast in the penalty area. He was seriously so good and it was an amazing pass. I also think future looked brighter for Milan.

This was a sweet debut for Carlo Simic because he managed to score a pretty good goal from a pass given by Rafael Leao. I even saw the AC Milan players welcoming Simic goal with a warm hug that they gave to Simic. He is an asset for AC Milan for the long term because his quality can be seen from the way he plays. I think AC Milan has succeeded in returning to winning ways and they must focus on reducing the points they are behind on Inter Milan.

AC Milan really needs young players in their squad and Pioli has done that in today match which ended in great success because they were able to beat Monza with a score of 3-0. Thus AC Milan also remains in 3rd place because they are still 5 points behind Juventus who are above their ranking. But what happened to Roma, they lost again and were knocked out of the top 4. Roma are not consistent enough in every match, which is why they have difficulty remaining in the top 4.

[lalabotax]

-.

Juventus have been showing signs of a team that's determined to win the Italian Serie A title at the end of the season but their performance against Genoa today was absolutely the opposite of what we've seen from the in majority of the games they've played this season.

Of course, Juventus really didn't expect the final result of their match to be a draw because after all they lost several points compared to if they won. Because after all, they always need full points to be able to compete with other top teams and their goal this season is to get the Serie A trophy. However, on the other hand, the struggle will not be that easy because after all, there are several other top clubs who also often play optimally and consistently win.

like Inter Milan who played against Lazio, where Inter were able to take the lead and win 2 - 0. So they are increasingly firmly in first place in this Serie A cup with a fairly good point difference with other clubs. Inter can really play more widely and optimally this time...

[red4slash]

I think at this time the score 0-2 will still be the final score of the match if you see the remaining time at this time especially Lazio also lost 1 player in the remaining time now.

It's now extra time and it's true that with 10 men and with Inter's strength not weakening in the slightest it's going to be difficult for Lazio and they'll have to drop points at home this week.

Inter are still superior and with the result they received in this match, they are still very comfortable with a 4 point difference from Juventus who are in second place. In addition, Lautaro also further distanced himself from the top scorer competition this season because with the 1 goal he scored in this match, he was away from the pursuit of other players in the top score.



The difference of 6 points is now too much, especially when his rival is Sassuolo players Berrardi. But the good thing this season is that some of the top scoring candidates this season are dominated by Inter and Milan players

[arimamib]

Inter Milan has great attackers, they are quite productive in scoring goals. I guess the match will end with 2-0, Inter Milan scored 2 goals.  

Inter Milan won two goals to nol, as you predicted, scored by Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram. In this game, Inter's attackers show their clinical finishings which makes them a scary team to face. This also suggests that Lazio's defense struggles against the attacking prowess of Inter Milan. Simone Inzaghi really has built a a strong team that shows his great capability to manage a big team to compete at highest level.

While Lazio may have a strong history and home performance, the argument suggests that Inter Milan's effectiveness in scoring goals, coupled with their tactical prowess from Inzaghi, gives them the upper hand in this game. This implies that Inter Milan is not only a worthy competitor but also has the potential to secure a win away from home. Inter Milan is really the most favorite team to win Scudetto this season.

[QueenVera]

Milan played well but they were not always stable throughout the match. But the most important thing is that they can still maintain positive results in this match. The Fiorentina vs Verona match has now entered the 10th minute. And I also favor Fiorentina in this match. But I don't bet much. Because Verona this season often produces quite surprising results. Verona is not a strong team but somehow sometimes Verona can always trouble their opponents. Even in the last 3 matches they have been able to hold their opponents to a draw. And even when facing strong teams, Verona rarely concedes many goals. Which means Verona's defense is actually quite good. But still confident that Fiorentina will be able to win. The difference in rankings should explain everything in this match. Verona is still struggling to get out of the relegation zone. Meanwhile, Fiorentina is working hard to continue to approach the top rankings. But at the start of this match I was a little surprised by the attack that Verona was able to build first.

Milan tried to keep up but the good thing is that they got the positives from the match and are cruising on safe spot on the log. Yes, It was seen that Fiorentina will win this encounter especially when you check from both team’s current form, you can see that Fiorentina are a better team compared to Verona even though they can get stubborn.

 But Fiorentina got all 3 points and are slowly trying to get an European spot for next season if they keep up with this win rate, I think it’ll be quite possible and easy to achieve, however the race for the top for in the Bundesliga is very tough this season and I think Fiorentina needs to be fully prepared cause they'll face alot of competition for the top four, anyways kudos to this Fiorentina side for the win today.

[SmartCharpa]

Napoli have fallen far behind so it will probably not be possible for them to get back into a good position again this time.  The way Inter are playing makes it much easier for them to become champions.  Inter are ahead of the other teams on points, so it will be very challenging for the other teams to overtake them.  Napoli didn't focus on their performance early on which is why they are in the situation they are now.  So I can't consider Napoli as likely to do anything good ever

Since Napoli won the Italian championship the previous season, they have found it extremely difficult to concentrate on their league play. As a result, they have begun to slip down the league standings, currently they are in fifth place. Roma, on the other hand, is in fourth place, but since Bologna defeated them, they have dropped to 7th place i know Roma will lose the point. Fiorentina is behind Napoli due to the fact that Napoli advantage of having more goals than them. If Napoli doesn't take this position from Inter Milan, I don't think they will even compete with inter right now, because Inter wants to win the championship this season.

Napoli against Cagliari, some were doubting of Napoli's performance before the game because they aren't performing well right now. However, I did think Napoli would win because they need three points to go to the top of the league, and it will be difficult challenging for them to do so right now because Juventus and Inter Milan are competing to become the championship this season.

[snipie]

I think at this time the score 0-2 will still be the final score of the match if you see the remaining time at this time especially Lazio also lost 1 player in the remaining time now.

Inter are still superior and with the result they received in this match, they are still very comfortable with a 4 point difference from Juventus who are in second place.

The 2 points dropped by Juventus this round when they played in front of Genoa were expensive and allowed Inter to get these 4 points advantage.
The other top teams also advanced in the ranking this round except Roma that allowed Bologna, Napoli and Fiorentina to jump above them in the ranking after losing their match against Bologna itself..

The difference of 6 points is now too much, especially when his rival is Sassuolo players Berrardi. But the good thing this season is that some of the top scoring candidates this season are dominated by Inter and Milan players

Actually it is Inter Milan players who are dominating the top scorers list and not Inter and Milan
The 3 players from Inter scored as much as 4 other players from different teams in this list Giroud, Lukaku, Osimhen and Zirkzee. This prove how powerful the attack line of Inter is this season. Besides, Inter is the only team which scored more than 30 goals while receiving less than 10. This shows also that Inter have the best defence line this season.

[Slow death]

It was a round that had results that didn't surprise me, Milan played against Monza who are going through a difficult phase, they came into this game against Milan with only 1 victory that they achieved in the last 4 games, although they had only 1 defeat in the last 4 games, they didn't appear to be a threat or an opponent that Milan would have difficulty beating, and that's what happened on the field, Milan managed to score 3 goals in that game and not concede any goals, which means that Milan They had an excellent performance and with this victory they can comfortably remain in third place and looking at the other teams that are below the top 3, I see that Milan don't have many reasons to worry about their current position.

Napoli played against Cagliari and won with some difficulty, even though they were facing a weak opponent who was fighting to get close to the relegation zone, this shows how Napoli are very weak this season, their luck was that they managed to win, that At least it allows them not to stray too far from the top, but it's not a performance from a team that intends to fight for the title, in my opinion Napoli has no chance this season of being champions. And speaking of fighting to be champion, inter played against lazio, who despite being weak this season, always manage to be problematic opponents, but in this game inter won very easily, it didn't seem like the opponent was lazio

inter managed to score 2 goals and did not concede any goals, with this victory inter has a 4 point advantage in relation to second place in the table, looking at the large difference in points that exists between inter and the rest of the other teams , in my opinion it will be very difficult for inter not to become champions, juventus is a team that can only score 1 goal and stays on defense, the juventus coach's style of play is not useful for winning a league, it is only useful for maintain the 4 positions for access to European competitions, while inter has the ideal profile of a champion, it has the best attack and the best defense. Just to give you an idea:

inter = 39 goals scored in 16 games, 9 goals conceded

juventus = 24 goals scored in 16 games, 10 goals conceded

the juventus attack is a joke

[coinlocket$]

Inter
   41    16    13    2    1    39    7
Juventus
   37    16    11    4    1    24    10
Milan

Bologna
   28    16    7    7    2    20    12

Top 4 of serie A.

The key may be 5 this year.

Italy may will have 5 spots in champion next year.

Indeed, on paper Monza is not a strong team when facing Ac Milan and this really made things difficult for them in today match because Ac Milan were able to come out as winners. AC milan is trying to recover from the bad times they have experienced recently and the return of Leoa and Giroud is their ambition to continue winning match. Today match is of course a step forward for AC milan to remain consistent in every match. They need to maintain this victory so that it continues in future matches. Fans want to see AC milan re-enter the competition for the title this season so Pioli must be able to do that by winning in the upcoming match.

Now speaking of Fiorentina, of course they already look like they want to return to the top 4 ranking and their victory over Verona means they have succeeded in reducing the gap behind Bologna and Napoli. Meanwhile, Fiorentina is only 1 point behind Bologna in the top 4, which makes them even more confident that they will be able to enter the top 4 next week. Only Juventus got unsatisfactory results this week because they were held back by Genoa in yesterday match. The competition for the title this season is certainly not yet clear who will be able to disrupt Inter milan at the top of the standing.

[TelolettOm]

Inter are still superior and with the result they received in this match, they are still very comfortable with a 4 point difference from Juventus who are in second place. In addition, Lautaro also further distanced himself from the top scorer competition this season because with the 1 goal he scored in this match, he was away from the pursuit of other players in the top score.

Inter wasn't very superior in the match against Lazio but they could play more effective. Lazio played not very badly, they actually could give good challenge to Inter Milan. However, Inter Milan has a better quality of attackers, they sill could score 2 goals although the match was very tight. 4 point difference seems not very safe for Inter Milan, Juventus still has a big chance to overtake it. But winning the match brings positive impacts for Inter players, they will be more confident for the next matches.

The difference of 6 points is now too much, especially when his rival is Sassuolo players Berrardi. But the good thing this season is that some of the top scoring candidates this season are dominated by Inter and Milan players

Do you mean 6 goals differences?
Berardi seems hard to overtake the first place (Martinez).
I'm very sure that Martinez will be the top scorer of Serie A this season.

[borovichok]

Of course, Juventus really didn't expect the final result of their match to be a draw because after all they lost several points compared to if they won. Because after all, they always need full points to be able to compete with other top teams and their goal this season is to get the Serie A trophy. However, on the other hand, the struggle will not be that easy because after all, there are several other top clubs who also often play optimally and consistently win.

like Inter Milan who played against Lazio, where Inter were able to take the lead and win 2 - 0. So they are increasingly firmly in first place in this Serie A cup with a fairly good point difference with other clubs. Inter can really play more widely and optimally this time...

The beginning of the season was more like a drama when I watch the Nerazzurri and Bianconeri putting tough fights to push them becoming more higher in points and there's no club stopping them currently. Massimiliano Allegri and Simeone Inzaghi are experienced and they certainly know how to face each other and handle matches. Inter Milan and Juventus are the main competitors for the Scudetto in Italy football this current season. There's absolutely no stopping for these firing clubs, they're eager to reach mid-season because watching their performance is something else.
