Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[kawetsriyanto]

Roma has the ability to defend and Juventus is much stronger in defense and attack and technically this is what makes Juventus probably quite the favorite to come out on top. But for Jose Mourinho, this match will feel quite important because they are fighting to climb into the top five of the standings and a win or draw against Juventus will add great motivation to them.

AS Roma is three points behind Bologna who is ranked fourth and two points behind Fiorentina. So a win or draw against Juventus will create an opportunity for AS Roma to catch up on the points left behind by the two teams.

Both Roma and Juventus have good defense, but it is clear that Juventus has a better defense. If we analyze their stats, Juventus are conceded few goals only. For attacking, Juventus looks better because they have more options (Vlahovic, Milik, Chiesa, Weah). Meanwhile for AS Roma, only Lukaku has a good performance. Belotti, Azmoun, and El Shaarawy seem not in their good form lately. So, Juventus should be superior if we analyze their current stats and the capability of their players.

AS Roma surely will try to get points, they want to finish in top 5. However, Juventus is on fire during this season, the match will be held in Juventus home as well. So, I am not sure if AS Roma can get points. Moreover, their current performance look not very convincing, too.

I'm confident that Juventus can defeat Roma, and if Roma defeat juventus, I believe it will be a fortunate game. Juventus is a formidable opponent in the serie A league; we don't need to ask; we can tell by their performance, which is strong this season. If we look at it, we can see that Roma is not very capable of defeating Juventus. Roma's most recent match against Napoli was particularly difficult for them because they struggled to score early in the game and score later score until the end game.

Regarding the Roma vs. Napoli match, we'll also see that the reason Roma won was because two of Napoli's players received red cards. This means that Roma is playing 11 against 9, so even Roma's victory over Napoli is fortunate. While Juventus is holding a strong position in the league table, making it difficult for anyone to predict whether they will win the league, Roma's performance was extremely confusing because it's unclear if they will even be able to qualify for the champion league the following season.

Roma had quite of a fun game against Napoli last weekend but no one knows if they'll be able to pull up same feat against Juventus. Juventus are a better side to them even though they're not the toppest on the table, they've still got higher qualities than Roma and for Roma, they're good undoubtedly but they've got a little chance against Juventus. The game would be not that easy as both sides are in good shape, the bosses and team players are good at what they do too.

 Roma has an aim of meeting up with points to win a ticket to the European contests and Juventus have got a task to maintain their form and shape and prevent an outrun by another team. They won't give off their position just like that. They'll be the host, so definitely they ought to be a better side in all rounds of the game. Roma will only have an extra work to do to see if they can compress the toughness of the game till the very end.

Compared to last season, Fiorentina in this season can be better and surely it is good news for them because they now have the opportunity to be ranked in the top 4. They are only 1 point away from Bologna and 3 points away from AC Milan.
Torino is not a favorite team they can only be in the mid-table and cannot be better than that for many years. Fiorentina's chances in the match are huge, so it's a shame if they have to lose at home to Torino. All the advantages are on their side, they should be able to utilize them very well and win.

Fiorentina ended last season in the top 8 of the Serie A standings, but this season we can really see them improving. Fiorentina has a good chance of being in the top 4 before the first half of the season is over, especially if Bologna drops points.

Not only Fiorentina, but Juventus, Roma and Bologna also had their best performances this season. Roma, who are one point behind Fiorentina, will fight hard to enter the Champions League zone. The competition between all the teams looks very good, in fact I believe this will last until the end of the season. Juventus and Inter are the two best title contenders so far, while Milan and other teams still lack consistent performance.

Juventus are a better side to them even though they're not the toppest on the table, they've still got higher qualities than Roma and for Roma, they're good undoubtedly but they've got a little chance against Juventus. The game would be not that easy as both sides are in good shape, the bosses and team players are good at what they do too.

We are all aware that Napoli had been a shadow of itself this season. Napoli struggled in that game and the two red cards made it very difficult for them to even get a goal. But Juventus is on a class of it own. The club has lost only one game and drew four. I doubt that Roma will get the same result they got against Napoli. However, Jose Mourinho is one of the most unpredictable manager that has the potential to win any opponents through his tactical expertise.

Roma has an aim of meeting up with points to win a ticket to the European contests and Juventus have got a task to maintain their form and shape and prevent an outrun by another team. They won't give off their position just like that. They'll be the host, so definitely they ought to be a better side in all rounds of the game. Roma will only have an extra work to do to see if they can compress the toughness of the game till the very end.

Roma made it to the Europa League finale last season..he are also fortunate that Juventus was sanctioned which gave them the privilege of featuring in a European competition. They have currently qualified for the Europa second round which is a step in the right direction.  The club will do everything possible to qualify for the Champions League because the money that can be realised from this competition will be to settle the club's precarious financial conditions. Roma has one of the smallest budget among the big clubs in Europe, and qualifying for the UCL will generate funds for the club.

Fiorentina ended last season in the top 8 of the Serie A standings, but this season we can really see them improving. Fiorentina has a good chance of being in the top 4 before the first half of the season is over, especially if Bologna drops points.

Indeed, we can say that Fiorentina's movements and progress are quite good this season. Usually they will find it difficult when playing against big teams. but so far it's actually not that bad. This season, they have been able to optimize their matches and wins several times so that so far their position is still safe at 5th place on average. However, this is still not safe because the competition and the number of points are still quite tight with several other clubs such as Roma and Napoli.

[Weawant]

Napoli’s last match against Roma ended up in defeat for them and I know it wasn’t a great day for them because of how eager and serious they are to make it to the top of the table. Roma really made use of a good strategy and that gave them a chance to prevail over Napoli in their last match. Napoli are still in the champions league and will be looking forward to advance to the next stage of the competition. Roma on this side will be facing Juventus, another big team that can be a tough outing for them. They will be in high spirit now after winning their last match against Napoli. I wish they can do better than what they played with Napoli, that is only when I think they can claim victory in this match.

Napoli loosing to Roma in that match seemed to me like they didn't take the match seriously and lost it probably because they were trying to refocus on their next UCL fixture which seem more crucial to them because they have been doing so bad already in the serie A so since it was looking like they have got a chance with the UCL so they were trying to do better in the UCL

With Juventus it's really going to be a different game because the serie A is the only league in which Juventus is participating in this season so all their attention, focus and energy is in the serie A so they are definitely not letting any chance they are getting with the serie A to pass them.by, they are well rested as they are not participating in any other league game and their form isn't in a bad shape at the moment so they have got some good chance to strongly contend Roma.

For me, the quality of Juventus attacks this season is not completely good even though yes, Vlahovic has a total of 6 goals in Serie A so far but still, Vlahovic position in the top scorer list is not good at all. Even though it is true, at this moment Juventus is in 2nd place in the Serie A standings, becoming a competitor for Inter who is at the top of the Serie A standings. But in reality, Juventus does not have as good a total of goals as Inter at this moment in Serie A.

Therefore, because Juventus does not have high aggressiveness in scoring goals, of course it will still be difficult for Juventus to beat AS Roma in this match. At least, we can also consider the head to head results of Juventus v AS Roma, in fact the score obtained is also more often get the win only by a narrow score and maybe even a draw. With considerations like that then ya, I personally not completely sure that Juventus will win at home match against AS Roma.

Vlahovic this season is not in his best form, but the current situation seems like his decline in performance is covered by the final results achieved by Juventus where Juventus is on a winning trend line. Indeed, when the striker who is relied on has difficulty scoring goals, there is no other way for the team other than looking for a replacement for him in the transfer market. Juventus needs to find an attacker who is more productive in scoring goals because sharpness on the front lines will have quite an impact on their performance this season to be able to compete with Inter Milan in winning the Scudetto.

There are even rumors circulating that Vlahovic is among the players who will be sold in this winter transfer window. This is bad news for Juventus fans because since the start of this season, Vlahovic, who was predicted to be able to make many major contributions to the team, has actually failed to do so. so fans have to give up their idols for sale in this winter transfer window. Apart from that, Juventus will face Roma in the upcoming match and we will see Vlahovic performance in this match, can he be the difference in this match, meaning he must be able to score a goal to bring Juventus to victory.

In my opinion Rudi Garcia was never a great coach as he never made it big into Europe and now that is gone from Napoli , my faith in this team is restored once again and I do hope they will have a decent run in UCL and maybe with a bit of luck they can hold top 4 in Serie A as well because finishing under 4th as ex champions doesn't look good at all.

Although he was never winning UCL, UEL, or top league titles but he ever won titles in French competitions with Lille in 2010-2011. Sure, it is just local competition in French. However, we should appreciate the achievement, it is not easy to win the domestic competition in French with Lille.

Well, for Napoli, I also expect that they can finish the season in UCL zone again. So, they can join the UCL competition in the next season. However, it seems harder for this season to get the ticket of UCL because they must compete with Roma, Fiorentina, and Bologna. These teams look having a better performance, meanwhile Napoli played very unstable now.

Milan couldn't even beat Salernitana on the previous week which led them to fall behind Inter and Juventus more. After this they are about to host Sassuolo at San Siro. I'm not very comfortable with Milan to win this game either. Because as you know Inter have only one loss so far and this loss was against Sassuolo home as well.

Thinking how Sassuolo beat the strongest team of the league away I can't really fully trust Milan to beat them.    I'm only confident about both teams to score for this game. Sassuolo could even be the first team to score.

Milan is out of the race for the title this season because AC Milan is already 11 points behind the first place team which of course will be quite difficult for them to catch. Yes, this match was quite crucial for them because they faced a team at the bottom of the standings but they were unable to win, but I see that they can try to avoid defeat in that match. AC Milan is no longer very strong in Serie A because they can easily be beaten by their opponents and they also seem to have difficulty maintaining their best form.

The draw achieved by Ac Milan also had a bad impact on their coach because there have been many rumors that Pioli will soon be fired following the bad streak that AC Milan has had this season. I think Pioli is at the end of his career because gradually he will be sent a letter of dismissal by AC Milan management.

Rudi Garcia won the League with Lillie? I'm like honestly reading this for the very first time, I never had the idea he was in charge of them .
He didn't do well amd had issues with the big names around the club. Failing to manage the big names is such a bad thing. He played poorly in the domestic league games and it affected how they played in the Champions League. Good he was sacked. In between, Walter Mazzari is not a good fit for Napoli, he can't take them back into the top four with this kind of game played.

Tough game between Juventus and As Roma, they'll either win or draw. I don't doubt Jose Mourinho as a coach but it'll be difficult beating the Old Ladies. Allegri already has the experience for such challenges and games.

[Leviathan.007]

technically both Roma and Juventus play a very defensive scheme, the differences in the two teams are the players and Juventus has technically stronger players. it won't be an easy match for both and we are unlikely to see many goals. the different ambitions of the two teams will give rise to a great challenge

Roma has the ability to defend and Juventus is much stronger in defense and attack and technically this is what makes Juventus probably quite the favorite to come out on top. But for Jose Mourinho, this match will feel quite important because they are fighting to climb into the top five of the standings and a win or draw against Juventus will add great motivation to them.

AS Roma is three points behind Bologna who is ranked fourth and two points behind Fiorentina. So a win or draw against Juventus will create an opportunity for AS Roma to catch up on the points left behind by the two teams.

But indeed, I also agree about Juventus and AS Roma have a style of play that prioritizes defense, so it is very possible that this match will also end in a goalless draw like 0-0. But maybe, if one of them manages to win but still, the final score will not be big and maybe they will only get a low final score such as 1-0 or at least only win with a difference of one goal.

Because after all, considering they have a good defense then ya, if one of them manages to score a goal first then the team will only focus on defending. At least I'm pretty sure a scenario like this is likely to happen, considering they don't have the high productivity to win with a big score.

Juventus' match with Roma seems like there are only 2 possibilities between Juventus or a draw but the chance of a draw is bigger.
I'm just saying about the fact that Juventus and Roma prioritize defense, but in terms of attack, Juventus is stronger and has very intelligent players at the moment and we can see it from the previous few matches which we can use as a benchmark for how these two clubs will perform and one side will compete. The host always provides great strength to win the match.
There are still a few days left to do the analysis and I see that the bookie is also favoring Juventus in this match because the bookmaker knows how Juventus is at the moment and also Juventus is looking to catch points from Inter.
Maybe Jose Mourinho will try to hold the match to a draw, not wanting Roma to always be defeated, but Mourinho has to accept the fact that his players are not ready enough to compete against Juventus players.

The match between Roma and Juventus is an important game for both teams because Roma is under pressure and currently Mourinho is even about to leave the team because of the bad performance he had since he joined Roma and he is even linked to the other teams for the next season, they are trying had to improve their situation in Roma while Juventus is trying to race with Inter Milan and if they don't want to lose this race they should get the full three points in the game they have with Roma.
Even Miralem Pjanić the former player of both teams started talking about this match and he said, Juventus should be careful about Lukaku and Dybala because these two players had better performances than the forwards of Juventus and they could be dangerous in this match.

AC Milan is one of the strongest teams in the Italian Serie A but after starting the season on a very good note, they've deeply declined from their very impressive performance at the start of the season. In their recent games against the top two clubs in the Italian Serie A standings, AC Milan failed to pick a point from either of the games and the fact that Sassuolo defeated Inter Milan at San Siro earlier this season, many are thinking that they stand a good chance of winning two Milan clubs.

AC Milan might not be in their best but against Sassuolo, I think they'll definitely win to increase their chances of finishing in to top four of the Italian league table at the end of the season.

AC Milan are not desperate and competitive like Inter Milan who could possibly accumulate every given points available. AC Milan dropped points the moment they played 2-2 draw tie against Sportiva Salernitana and that was supposed to be their winning match. On the records, Inter Milan is leading while AC Milan is fighting to maintain their third position, there are spots that does belong to these elite clubs on the table. AC Milan boss, Stefano Pioli should encourage his players to do more outstanding works on the pitch,  a way to accumulate three points. Sassuolo is the next opponent and they're ready for AC Milan.

Sassuolo was truly brilliant to stage a good performance against Inter Milan when they met this season and that is what has given them morale to face other big teams and prevail against them. Sassuolo is not a team to be underrated at this point, but they can be defeated by AC Milan if they really want to win this match. Sassuolo is not a big team that AC Milan will be scared to win but their defeat against big club this season is what brought about the suspicion on this game. Sassuolo are on 15th position and AC Milan on 3rd position, I just can’t fathom how Sassuolo could win AC Milan, not even a draw I see it happening in this match even though football is unpredictable.

[coinlocket$]

Dybala for Roma and Chiesa for Juventus will probably not be able to start the game.

It should be a second chance for Yildiz, after the magnificent debut he got the past week with a superb goal

The fact that Sassulo win a very strong team like inter Milan doesn't mean they will win Milan. The win may come out of luck. Sassuolo isn't a good team when compared with Milan. He has just manage to win one out of his last 5 games and won just 4 out of 17 matches played within the league. I don't see Sassuolo winning this game but there Over2.5 is sure.

Sassuolo is ranked 15th on the standings and they have recently been easily beaten by their opponents, so this is quite a good opportunity for AC Milan to take advantage of their opponents weaknesses in this week's match. AC milan, who are playing at home, will definitely be able to win this match and they will not waste a second chance. This means that in the previous match, AC milan was held back by the bottom team in the standings, so in this week match they must be able to return to winning ways when they face Sassuolo.
Apart from that, AC milan ranking is starting to become less secure in the standings because the teams below them are able to reduce the points gap with them so that if they lose again, Bologna could get rid of AC milan next week.

There should be no need to think because Sassuolo has already managed to beat Inter and Juventus at the start of the season. Milan may fight against losing to Salernitana but that will not happen against Sassuolo because this weak team has returned to its original place. It's no surprise that Milan deserved a win and I think defeat against Salernitana will make them learn from unnecessary defeats.

I was surprised when I checked the statistics in the 5 meetings between the two in Serie A where Sassuolo dominated the victory in the last 5 matches between the two. It could be that Sassuolo will give us another surprise by beating AC Milan at Sansiro. In football there are always surprises that happen so don't be surprised if a big team like AC Milan can experience defeat when facing a low ranked team.

Even though AC Milan has quality players in their team such as Leao, Giroud and Pulisic, I don't know why they are not able to maintain their best trend this season. For Pioli, he must be able to give AC Milan a win in this match because they are quite strong compared to the opponents they face.
