Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[temple]

...

To me this is one of those coaching mistakes that I hate a lot. I don't understand why coaches choose to rotate in the worst moments possible and why they would risk losing a game that would get them into the next round of an important competition? If there is supposed to be rotation, I would always start with the best players I have available and I would take the game 100% seriously. Slow down when the lead is safe and there is no risk throwing a game like that way. Now the damage is done and there is no way back.

Yes, I agree that it would be better if Walter Mazzarri played the main players in the first half and could potentially give Napoli a few goals. After that, it was up to Walter Mazzarri to withdraw the first team in the second half and replace them with second-string players gradually if Napoli had a convincing enough lead. I am quite surprised by this result whether Napoli really intends to withdraw from the Coppa Italia competition this season after they struggled from the preliminary round. I do not think so. This is purely a strategic error used by Walter Mazzari.

There never was an intention to get kicked out of the Coppa Italia competition as some people here argue because this cup can't be compared to the league cup in England, where they actually have like three cups or so? The Coppa Italia is the main Italian cup and no team would ever try to lose on purpose in order to be able to focus more on other competitions, that's bullshit. A team like Napoli, a Champions League contender, plans to get kicked out of the Coppa Italia... No, really never.

Of course not, but I share the opinion that this game was approached in a very weird way by Walter Mazzari. I don't know if this was incompetence by him or underestimation at its best, but how can a team like Napoli underestimate another team from Serie A. It is not like they played against a team from the Serie B or worse than that when it happens that the far superior favorite underestimates how hard it can be to beat those teams. Take Bayern as an example when they played against a 3. Bundesliga team and lost, but nobody would ever say that was on purpose. If that were true, the coach would get sacked immediately.

[TelolettOm]

Napoli will find it difficult to enter the ranks of teams competing for the Scudetto this season because Napoli are already 14 points behind Inter Milan. We are like we were in last season where last season Napoli led the standing by far ahead of the second ranked team and that is the comparison that has happened to Napoli this season. There is no hope for Napoli to win the Scudetto this season, they are only focused on being in the top 4 because of their decline in performance which means they are not strong enough to compete for the title.

Napoli must target to finish in the top 4 only (UCL zone). They must be aware that they have no chance to join the race for the title. The point gap with Inter Milan and Juventus are too large, it is very unlikely to overtake their points. Moreover, Napoli also played inconsistently, no guarantee that they will always win the match this season. So, we all must agree about this, Napoli will never try to compete for the Scudetto. The reasonable target is surely just for the top 4, for the ticket of UCL next season.

This season the Scudetto will belong to Inter Milan or Juventus because they are more ambitious to get it. Inter Milan performance this season cannot be stopped by any team, they are very strong and this season they have a greater chance of winning the Scudetto. Inter milan has Martinez and Thuram who have performed quite impressively compared to the stickers of other teams in this season.

Indeed. Only Inter Milan and Juventus are competing for the title now. These teams played more stable than other teams in Serie A. They also have better squad than other teams. So, it will be very difficult for other teams to overtake them in the top of Serie A standings. If there is no change in the second half of the season, I guess Inter Milan will win the Scudetto.

Shocking to see Napoli losing 4 nil to Frosinone and not been able to maintain consistent performance in the Seria A matches. Could it be that all these unplanned negative results happens because Luciano Spalleti steps down from managing the club? Though he resign and I'm confident Napoli will bounce back to winning matches but it will take lengthy period because we can never be too sure of these matches. Napoli headcoach,Walter Mazzarri have learnt his lesson and he will not give room for any poor performance from his team, he's aiming for the best spot on the table.

I think they are all-in for UCL this year and the fact that they qualify further again , makes me thinks that both Serie A and especially the cup can wait a bit longer or not waiting at all ( being already eliminated from cup ). I'm sure they will focus a lot in the second part of Serie A season but personally I don't expect them to produce magic like they did last year but I do see them achieving quarter finals in UCL.

With 14 points behind top Inter in Serie A and facing Barca in the 1/8 round of the Champions League, Napoli sees the Italian National Cup as the most feasible arena for winning the title this season. But the hopes of Walter Mazzarri and his team in the domestic cup field were dashed after a shocking loss to Frosinone right at the holy land of Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. Thus, Napoli only has to fight in the Champions League and Serie A. In Serie A, Napoli is ranked 5th with 27 points. However, things are not as Napoli expected. Now they have to be a guest against a Roma team that is thirsty for points and extremely strong when playing at the Olimpico. Napoli must win at all costs if they do not want to slip further and further in the race to win Serie A this season.

I doubt that a coach has ever made such a difference when he stepped down and then a team like Napoli would lose games against an inferior team in such a shocking way. Of course coaches have some influences on the game due to their decisions, but not solely due to their presence. I think what's important to note here is that Mazzari decided against letting the best players begin the game. That was the mistake that cost them the next round in Coppa Italia.

[tusandii]

That's how it goes on a single legged knock out. There are no second chances. And we should appreciate the performance from Bologna and Frosinone. They outperformed their opponents on their games.
Bologna hat a great defense, good goal keeping, a penalty saved and injury time best finished goals to win. They deserved the win.

Inter Milan have play not so good in recent matches vs Bologna. In October there was a 2:2 in Milan and in February this year Bologna won 1:0, the game was in Bologna. And now the defeat in extra time, mybe we can say that Bologna are becoming a scary team for Inter. They are not playing for the championship in italy, they are far away. Inter Milan will lose a bit of motivation, they play against a weak team at the weekend. Again at home against US Lecce, which they should win without any problems.

Based on the H2H records of both teams, Inter seems to have a phobia of Bologna, they found it very difficult to win in several matches against Bologna, including the defeat they just experienced in the Copa Italia.
This defeat must be forgotten immediately, they must remain focused on the next match. Inter must win again against Lecce, they must always try to get maximum points in order to keep their distance from Juventus while maintaining their safe position at the top of the standings.

Inter's defeat in the Coppa Italia always has a cause and there is a reason for everything and let's discuss it.
if you say the difference from h2h is not fair because every season the performance of each club is very different, sometimes Inter last season was not very strong and this season looks very strong and consistent and could have beaten Bologna if it was not a Coppa Italia match.
Furthermore, another reason is to look at the players used in yesterday's match. Did all the mainstay players appear on the field?
This is all because Simone Inzaghi wants to maintain the physical condition of his talented players so they don't get too tired because Inter have to chase trophies in other competitions.
So yesterday's defeat for Simone Inzaghi is not a big problem because Inter must focus on the Champions League competition and the title in Serie A and the Coppa Italia may not be pursued because it will add to the match schedule which will have negative impacts such as injuries, while the Champions League trophy is very important compared to the Coppa Italy.
Maybe you can understand the reasons I said and for me this is fairer and more reasonable.

But the hopes of Walter Mazzarri and his team in the domestic cup field were dashed after a shocking loss to Frosinone right at the holy land of Stadio Diego Armando Maradona.

Now they have to be a guest against a Roma team that is thirsty for points and extremely strong when playing at the Olimpico. Napoli must win at all costs if they do not want to slip further and further in the race to win Serie A this season.

I think Napoli's defeat against Frosinone in the last 16 of the Coppa Italia was purely due to a decision error in playing the starting eleven from the start. Mazzarri was too confident by playing more second-string players in the first half. And in the second half Mazzarri was late in playing their mainstay player. So Napoli's defeat in that match was not that surprising. Because looking at the composition of the players playing in this match, it seems like they didn't intend to play optimally from the start. Or maybe because Mazzarri underestimated Frosinone.

Napoli will indeed have a very difficult opponent in the last 16 of the UCL. Because after all Barcelona is a team filled with great players. But fortunately currently Barcelona is also not in good condition. Their consistency has been shaky lately. So Barcelona has pretty much failed to get maximum points recently. So Napoli actually still has a good chance in the UCL later.

In the next match, Napoli in Serie A will face Roma. But I think this match will indeed be a more difficult match for Napoli. Because Roma when they are in good shape can be almost on par with Milan or Inter. But fortunately Roma were also not at their best. They even lost to Bologna. Which indicates that Roma is also inconsistent this season. But I also hope Napoli wins even though Napoli is not the host of the match. But it's time for Napoli to return to their best performance. Because if they can't, Napoli will even have difficulty returning to the top 4 of Serie A, which is now occupied by Bologna.

[Mayor of ogba]

But I'm confident with the players Napoli have, I think they can reach the top four compared to Bologna, although not in the near future. Maybe next week Napoli won't be able to catch Bologna because they have to play against a strong team, like Roma, I predict this match will end in a draw.

I think all of us agree with this, Napoli can change its strategy and player performance, it might still be possible to be in the top 4, it can be happens if AC Milan and Bologna experience a decline in performance. The points gap between Napoli and these two teams is not much, it should be possible to get some wins when both of them lose or draw. The transfer window will open soon, this is an opportunity for Napoli to improve their team.

There is a possibility that Napoli will enter the fourth position in the Italy Serie A table if they can get a draw match from Roma because Bologna's match against Atalanta will be a tough one, and it can end in a draw match or Atalanta wins against Bologna. Napoli can challenge for the Serie A title if they are with Osimhen till the end of the season.

They had a past amazing season in Champions League and want to repeat it in this season. The round of 16 draw puts Napoli to meet Barcelona which is a giant in Champions League but in this season, Barcelona has some problems with their squad, injuries and not too good form. It gives Napoli chance and hope to beat Barcelona and go to another stage in Champions League. This competition is more important for Napoli than Coppa Italia and it is their wise decision to give up in Coppa Italia.

In the next match, Napoli in Serie A will face Roma. But I think this match will indeed be a more difficult match for Napoli. Because Roma when they are in good shape can be almost on par with Milan or Inter. But fortunately Roma were also not at their best. They even lost to Bologna.

Match between AS Roma and Napoli is a derby, it is called as Derby del Sole with 171 matches happened. The statistics is on Roma side with 62 wins, 53 draws and Napoli has 56 wins from those past derby matches.

This match is important for them to continue competing for top four because there are many clubs are racing for this position. AS Roma just lost it to Bologna after a direct defeat to that opponent.

Last season, Napoli had a great season in Serie A and also in the Champions League. They were able to top the Serie A standings last season with a very large points difference. Which allowed Napoli to focus more on the UCL last season. But last season Napoli stopped in the quarter-finals because they lost to Milan. But I'm actually not sure that this season Napoli will qualify for the quarter-finals. Because Barcelona is not an ordinary team that will be easy to beat. In fact, Barcelona's strength can be said to be equivalent to Real Madrid. And we can see that Napoli had difficulties when they faced Real Madrid in the group stage. Even Napoli continued to experience defeats in the match against Real Madrid. So maybe the match against Barcelona will be as difficult as the match against Real Madrid. But because Barcelona has been inconsistent lately, maybe it could be an advantage for Napoli. But Barcelona might also improve again in the next few months. So Napoli must be prepared for that.

The reasonable target is surely just for the top 4, for the ticket of UCL next season.

Napoli no longer has any hope of winning the Serie A title this season and Napoli will also have great difficulty if they try to compete for the title by competing with Inter Milan and Juventus.
Indeed, Napoli only hope this season is to reach the top 4 positions and get UCL ticket, that will be much better in terms of achievements next season.
But there is also no guarantee that Napoli can survive further in the UCL if they have the opportunity to play next season.

This season the Scudetto will belong to Inter Milan or Juventus because they are more ambitious to get it. Inter Milan performance this season cannot be stopped by any team, they are very strong and this season they have a greater chance of winning the Scudetto. Inter milan has Martinez and Thuram who have performed quite impressively compared to the stickers of other teams in this season.

So, it will be very difficult for other teams to overtake them in the top of Serie A standings. If there is no change in the second half of the season, I guess Inter Milan will win the Scudetto.

Inter Milan and Juventus are rivals that other teams in Setie A really cannot compete with and these two team are indeed the strongest candidates in the race for the title.
But Juventus will be far superior because they can really focus on fighting for the Serie A title, in contrast to Inter Milan who also have to focus on the UCL.
This is good opportunity for Juventus to take advantage of the situation and condition of Inter Milan players who may have slightly unresolved performance.

To me this is one of those coaching mistakes that I hate a lot. I don't understand why coaches choose to rotate in the worst moments possible and why they would risk losing a game that would get them into the next round of an important competition?

After that, it was up to Walter Mazzarri to withdraw the first team in the second half and replace them with second-string players gradually if Napoli had a convincing enough lead. I am quite surprised by this result whether Napoli really intends to withdraw from the Coppa Italia competition this season after they struggled from the preliminary round. I do not think so. This is purely a strategic error used by Walter Mazzari.

There never was an intention to get kicked out of the Coppa Italia competition as some people here argue because this cup can't be compared to the league cup in England, where they actually have like three cups or so? The Coppa Italia is the main Italian cup and no team would ever try to lose on purpose in order to be able to focus more on other competitions, that's bullshit. A team like Napoli, a Champions League contender, plans to get kicked out of the Coppa Italia... No, really never.

I don't think it would be thrown on purpose. He is not kicked out willingly, nor do the players want this, after all, they have in their contracts that they will receive extra bonuses for the goals they score. Every team wants to win the cup. It was a match that was lost as a result of the bad experiences in Napoli this year.

[topbitcoin]

Actually looking at what they did especially after relinquishing the Italian Cup then the focus must be on both although it's still very risky for them but i think they will still try to appear in Serie A and the Champions League.

Well, Napoli would definitely compete but I doubt they'll be able to win either of the champions league or Serie A. They're just not good enough this season to win either of those trophies.
With the kind of form they ended last season with, it was obvious to me Napoli was going to struggle this season. They really struggled towards the end of last season after they won the league and I knew they'll take that form into the next season and the have.
It happened to Inter Milan, then AC Milan and now Napoli. When these teams when the league the previous season, they mostly flip the next season.
Even if Napoli was in form, I doubt Inter is in the mood to let anyone go above them and win the Seria A this season. 

Their goal is to reach what place they are able to get not to become champions and we know that Napoli are currently in Serie A alone the difficulties are very visible let alone later they think and have the goal of winning the Champions League of course it will be difficult because we know there are still a lot of clubs that are bigger and better than Napoli now even facing Barcelona in the round of 16 I am quite doubtful about Napoli.
But indeed giving up is also not the answer so they must continue to show their seriousness to be able to continue to play well regardless of losing or winning it is a matter of later the most important thing they must continue to show their seriousness in order to repay the trust of fans who are still loyal to this day.

We know that even though last season Serie A clubs were seen more because 3 representatives were in the Champions League, Europa League and Conference League finals but things like this did not make Serie A clubs believed to be champions as well as this season because several clubs from other domestic competitions such as La Liga and EPL remain favorites to win until now.

they probably didn't consider the fact that Frosinone was really strong and put very little effort into the match, both physically and mentally
a significant mistake for a team that has the ambitions that Napoli have
it is no coincidence that the coach apologized to the fans

Inter Milan performance this season cannot be stopped by any team, they are very strong and this season they have a greater chance of winning the Scudetto. Inter milan has Martinez and Thuram who have performed quite impressively compared to the stickers of other teams in this season.

Napoli are already quite far behind Inter Milan and Juventus so in my opinion it will be very difficult to catch up on points if Napoli's performance is still too unstable like this season. Even Milan was initially the favorite, now Milan is also quite far behind so according to most people predict that the only strong candidate to win the title is there are Juventus and Inter Milan, especially considering the performance of both of them is still stable until this season when compared with Napoli and Milan.

Of course, both clubs seem to have strong ambitions to win the Scudetto, but in my opinion, the most impressive performance is Inter Milan, whose goal productivity is more than any other club, especially since Inter's defense is very strong, making it possible for them to remain strong, even though Juventus is also a favorite, but my feeling is said Inter Milan would win it after 2 seasons Inter Milan had not yet wons the Scudetto again.

This season's journey is still very long, but with the problems that Napoli are currently experiencing, it makes it very difficult for them to catch up because of their declining performance and also problems with consistency.
The Napoli team has changed very rapidly and they need to re-strengthen the team's playing character which is very difficult to do in the near future.
So in my opinion it is very natural that the Napoli team will not compete in the race for the Scudetto this season.

Inter and Juventus are very strong at the moment. it will be quite difficult for Napoli if they want to catch up. but Napoli's opportunity to be in the top 4 of the standings is still very open. and it could be the best opportunity they can pursue this season.
at least currently the point difference is still very small. and the situation in the standings is still very likely to change at any time. I think Roma, Atalanta, and Fiorentina will be Napoli's competitors. Napoli may have had a downturn, but it wasn't a huge one. they can still fight.

[Bobrox]

Of course not, but I share the opinion that this game was approached in a very weird way by Walter Mazzari. I don't know if this was incompetence by him or underestimation at its best, but how can a team like Napoli underestimate another team from Serie A. It is not like they played against a team from the Serie B or worse than that when it happens that the far superior favorite underestimates how hard it can be to beat those teams. Take Bayern as an example when they played against a 3. Bundesliga team and lost, but nobody would ever say that was on purpose. If that were true, the coach would get sacked immediately.

Shocking to see Napoli losing 4 nil to Frosinone and not been able to maintain consistent performance in the Seria A matches. Could it be that all these unplanned negative results happens because Luciano Spalleti steps down from managing the club? Though he resign and I'm confident Napoli will bounce back to winning matches but it will take lengthy period because we can never be too sure of these matches. Napoli headcoach,Walter Mazzarri have learnt his lesson and he will not give room for any poor performance from his team, he's aiming for the best spot on the table.

Walter Mazzari can't predictable with many rotation made have loss against Frosinone 4-0 on Copa Italia round of 16, the defeat against Frosinone added to Walter Mazzari's worst performance record with Napoli with 7 matches in all competitions, Napoli achieved 4 defeats and 3 wins. So far, Walter Mazzari still difficult for winning against top teams because 3 won of 7 matches all competition Napoli won against Atalanta, Braga and Cagliari.
I don't sure with Walter Mazzari position will be longer as Napoli manager because he has bad started with 4 losses of 7 matches give him bad reputation exactly Napoli have dropped from top standings in Serie A.
