Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Hyphen(-)]

The last week of 2023 did not make Napoli very happy because at the time they needed full points but unfortunately they could only share 1 point with Monza. It's a really unpleasant result, especially playing at home in front of fans. It's really complicated but Napoli is still a team that tries everything to get better. It was unexpected that the result of this series would also be another bad record in the last few matches. The absence of Victor Osimhen in the previous match due to a red card also made Napoli even more stuck without clarity in the attack line.

Indeed Napoli is not happy with the match outcome because they dominated the match completely and they have more attempts on goals and more chances created in the match, but unfortunately, they couldn’t win the match despite all the attempts they had in the match.

The match is full of some moments of arguments because Napoli did not want to lose to them again after losing their last match against them, moreover, Napoli wanted the three points to be ahead of Roma before Roma play their own match. Nevertheless, they both share point .

With this one, we are at 5 consecutive weeks where Inter is robbing games.

how it is even possible that var hasn't disallowed their goal?

This is ridiculous.

But this problem has been persistent now for the whole season. I think they are not playing as bad in most of the games, but they lack the efficiency that was their biggest strength in the last season. Their efficiency last season was on point and they knocked out their opponents with great timing almost every game. But now they just can't do it the same way and every time they dominate the games, but when the right timing is there to score and finish off their opponents, the goal doesn't come in their favor. That is the big difference compared with last season.

Inter lost an important 2 points away to Genoa, where they went as the leader. The first half of the match was very dull, but with Arnautovic's goal in the 42nd minute, Inter took the lead 0-1. Genoa made the score 1-1 10 minutes after this goal. As neither team could change the score in the second half, the match ended 1-1. With this result, Inter has 45 points, and if Juventus wins tomorrow (they will play against Rome, but the match is in Turin, I think they will probably win), the point difference will be reduced to two.

In the other noteworthy match of the night, even though Lazio fell behind 0-1 with a penalty goal at home in the 58th minute, they managed to win the match 3-1, making their points 27 and rising to the eighth place in the points table.

It was a tough away game for Inter. Genoa felt the pressure with their presence. Inter took the lead in the first half thanks to Arnautović's follow-up. Inter were looking for a second goal before the end of the first half, but Genoa managed to convert the last corner kick into a goal. Juventus-Roma match is interesting, if Juventus wants to turn this point loss of Inter into an advantage, they should get all three points from Roma.

Yes I think that is the good news for everyone, Juventus Turin can now get a bit closer again. This might not be the most desirable result for all the Inter Milan fans, but for everyone else it is good to see if the competition remains tough in the league. It will be difficult enough to stop Inter Milan, so it would be best for Juventus Turin to stay close to them for as long as possible. Nothing would be more boring than an early decision because we see a gap of double digit points.

Considering Napoli's lackluster effort, I thought they would defeat Manzo, but alas, they blow numerous scoring opportunities. Even though Manzo is a little squad, Napoli is unable to score even one goal, thus Manzo makes a strong effort and the game ends in a draw—a performance that was entirely lacking on their part. Consider Napoli, who made a terrific effort but was sadly unable to delivery goal. Napoli will not go up from their current position in seventh place in the standings until they win their upcoming game and play better.

Tonight was an opportunity for Napoli to probably set the track to beginning a new journey of winning streak and getting the team back on track to defending the title which they are the current winner but then it seems like from their performance so far especially for tonight, they my not be able to defend the title again this season.

Inter Milan aswell is Also struggling to secure a win against Genoa as they have currently been equalized after taking the lead in the first few minutes of the first half of the game but then they are looking like they will be able to get a goal in the second half of the game.inter Milan has a dominated the game so far but are only finding it difficult to break the defense of their opponent and secure some more goals to be able to seal their victory by the end of the game.

I never expected the win, not without Victor Oshime,at least to give them some levels of support in attack. They don't look like a squad that just won the Scudetto Competition honestly, too poor to be a defending champion. It was at home and you should see the high rise of folks that picked up Napoli to win the game at home and they didn't.
I'll still say that Walter Mazzari even with his experience of the  Italian Seria A is not the man, not the coach, he has nothing to offer to be very honest.

Genoa at home would definitely trouble the hell out of them. I saw how they even found it hard to operate and oppress the midfielder's of Genoa. It was a man to man tactics which worked perfectly.
Let's hope and see how Juventus react to this game, a win tommorow narrows the gap. They be at home and have all the advantages. It could happen!!

Inter Milan achieved a draw in today's match and of course this opens up opportunities for the teams below to reduce the points behind if they are able to take advantage of this situation. So Juventus can reduce their lag behind Inter milan if Juventus manages to win against Roma. This match will be a big match that will be presented this week because both teams want to get points to strengthen their position on the standing. Apart from that, Roma, if they can steal full points in tomorrow match, they can move up to 5th place, so they must be able to take advantage of this good opportunity.

Apart from that, Juventus wants to stick closely to Inter Milan at the top of the standings so that the match which will take place at their own headquarters must be able to play with their best quality to be able to get 3 points. I will wait for the lineup from Juventus in tomorrow's match, will Allegri trust Vlahovic as a starter considering he played quite well in the previous match.

Yeah, this is beyond our expectations when we thought Inter Milan could win easily but what happened they missed this opportunity lol, instead of leaving Juventus further Inter Milan actually opened up opportunities for Juventus to get closer, if Juventus wins tomorrow then Juventus will only be 2 points away from Inter Milan or maybe Inter Milan has predicted that Juventus will also draw against AS Roma? it would be strange if they could predict before the game started By the way Juventus previously drew against Genoa, I'm curious why Genoa was so strong against Juventus and Inter Milan?

I think Inter Milan is starting to feel more pressure with Juventus keep consistently tracking them. The draw makes Inter Milan missed an opportunity to widen the gap between them and Juventus that invites more pressure towards themself. Simone needs to solve this performance if they dont want to make it harder for them keeping the lead on the standings.

Juventus facing Roma is a big match with pressure to win on both sides. Mourinho loves this kind of match, and I won't be surprised if Roma win the game. He often approaches big games with different strategies, and expects opponents go into his tactical display. Juventus' previous draw against Genoa can sometimes rise to the occasion against more prominent opponents. these unpredictable elements that make football intriguing and keep fans guessing about the outcomes of matches.

Napoli won the scudetto last season and I don't see no reason why these clubs are fighting for any significant movement. A win have become something to struggle for when it involves  Napoli. They dominated but no results to proves to the audience they were winners, no one would take dominated ball possession instead of winning. It was clear that Victor Osimhen is the one reason why Napoli was unable to net a goal against Monza and they had to settle for a draw tie. Walter Mazzarri have made plans and have instructed players on the next action in line.

We cannot ignore your opinion because it is a fact and no one expected Napoli to play this badly I mean this season even Napoli couldn't take advantage of the opportunity when playing at home, Victor Osimhen has been a mainstay since last season but now it is beyond expectations. I think the teams failed to bring him in the last transfer window maybe they feel lucky for not spending a lot of money on the wrong striker. So in your opinion what is the main problem with Napoli and Victor Osimhen? the situation is completely different from last season we didn't see anything impressive.

By the way I've checked the betting markets for Juventus' next match, as home team Juventus are slightly favourites but the bookie doesn't seem too confident about this offer the handicap is only -0.25 for Juventus this means there is a chance that both teams will draw. On the one hand, Roma is ready because they won the last match while Juventus is too strong when playing at home nothing can stop them never lost at home, this is clearly a challenge for Roma and Lukaku.

[TelolettOm]

If Juventus fails to win against Roma, it will indeed be difficult for Juve to catch Inter. because now the point difference is 4 points. and Inter will get points from the match against Genoa.
I hope Juventus can narrow the points gap with Inter. because that will make Serie A interesting until the end of the season. otherwise, Inter will dominate from now until the end of the season. because there is no other team that can catch Inter apart from the opportunity that Juventus has.

I believe Juventus will have a big motivation to win the match. Moreover, they know Inter Milan got a draw result, it is the time to shorten the point gap with Inter Milan. The match will be held in Juventus stadium as well, Juventus has the advantage to win the match. Considering some important matters, I am pretty sure that Juventus will succeed to beat AS Roma now. If Juventus get full points in the match, the point gap will be 2 points only. So, the chance for winning the title will be higher.

Yes, no other teams that possibly overtake Inter Milan points. Juventus is the only team that has the chance to catch Inter Milan. Juventus mustn't waste the chance to shorten the points gap with Inter Milan.

What happened in the past will not affect what will happen in the present, everything is different.
AC Milan currently has quite strong strength even though they sometimes don't appear consistent, but in the last few matches we can see that AC Milan has slowly recovered and appeared stronger, while Sassuolo this season is not so strong and they are also inconsistent so I think there is a chance AC Milan's ability to win this match is much greater, playing at home in front of their own supporters will of course make their motivation much greater to win this weekend's match.

AC Milan this season has been in a very good form such that their it's become evident in their performance and results, regardless of their some form of inconsistency which is common amongst every other team as no team has a 100% with consistency but then been able to maintain a good position close to the top of the table is really a good one.

Sassuolo is in their weak form, the have at some point this season express some form of strength but then later exhibit weakness such that now they don't look like they will have the stamina against AC Milan because AC Milan is currently in a very good form as seen both in the serie a and the UCL this season. So I'm not expecting any less from Milan as they currently pose a better form and strength than sassuolo and they are playing from home aswell which is more of an advantage for them.

AC Milan is definitely far from their good for and if they were having the same performance as they had in the last season, I could surely say AC Milan could beat Sassuolo in this match without any problems but currently they are not in the good for and they had an unstable situation in Serie A.
That's why maybe considering the rates we can see for this match it is worth even betting on Sassuolo and taking more risk however this can't be a safe bet.

Sassuolo can sometimes kill the giant. So, im worrying the chance of milan to win the game against sassuolo. Im only open to the reality that happened in the past. I consider sassuolo was a strong club as well and that's why i took double chance i do believe wrongly picking in this game will be in result to make my bet collapse. So, i don't even think picking milan would be a good decision but yeah it has higher probability to win the game but im only anticipating surprise result that may be coming from sassuolo.

Perhaps, milan may not consider sassuolo as a strong team but i have an opposite opinion than it. It's caused by i have seen sassuolo was able winning against strong teams but idk why it is struggling against weak team.
You may be seeing milan to show another poor performance and people will be blaming it again. Im only trying to decrease the risk from this match but good luck for you.

The absence of Victor Osimhen in the previous match due to a red card also made Napoli even more stuck without clarity in the attack line.

This indeed very surprising result because Monza is a weak team and it could be easy for Napoli to beat Monza but the result is very unpredictable because Napoli have to satisfied to collect 1 point from this match and i can see it that Napoli without Osimhen was unable to performing well that during the game Napoli was gets plenty of opportunities to scores but none of these opportunities could become goals moreover Napoli almost lose from this match but luckily Monza player was failed to utilized the penalty kick

Besides Napoli today Inter too was slipped because they also got draw result from Genoa and finally Marko Arnautovic has been scored his first goal this season in Serie A with Inter but unfortunately it won't enough to bringing Inter to win the match and we can see it the difference Inter without Martinez that they looks struggle to scores without him and Juventus must take advantage of this result that they should be able to win the match from Roma and cut their gap points with Inter

[Jossque]

Inter returns from Genoa away with 1 point.I must say that it was an important point loss for Inter.Genoa did a good job by getting a draw from Inter.Getting a draw from the leader of the league and a strong candidate for the championship is not a job that every team can do.This gave Juventus a chance to close the points difference.The fact that the match ended 1-1 and the goals came towards the end of the first half should be an indicator of how boring and unexciting the match was.
Lazio, on the other hand, managed to get 3 points by defeating their opponent 3-1 in the match in which they fell behind 1-0.The fact that all of the goals came in the second half shows that the second half of the match was very lively.For Lazio, we have to say that the higher they finish the league, the better it will be.At the moment, they will have a top 4 target, there is nothing lost yet.

[Hirose UK]

I dont think about betting on the Juventus match so as not to bring bad luck, so my bets today are these.

Juventus vs Roma is indeed difficult match to predict but I believe Juventus has chance, they can win the match even if it is only with very close score like 1 - 0 or 2 - 1.
However, if there is any doubt, it is better to leave it.

• Napoli - Monza i will bet on Napoli
• Genoa - Inter Milan i will bet on Inter Milan
• Atalanta BC - Lecce i will bet on Atalanta BC
• AC Milan - Sassuolo i will bet on AC Milan

The betting prediction option is good but for the third one between Atalanta BC vs Lecce it also seems difficult to predict, if you take the Atalanta option as the winner then it will be very risky.
In this match, I personally would prefer double chance as betting option.
Meanwhile, for Napoli itself against Monza, it looks like you won't get the same result as the hope of winning.
For Inter vs Genoa, you are not the only one who has experienced failure in betting options.

Juventus have more motivation for winning match against AS Roma tomorrow after Inter Milan losses three points and give chance to gap 2 points left if Juventus get three points. Opportunity for Juventus keep close their points with top standings team and make Scudetto tittle race more interested again behind 2 points left. Not get pressure yet for Juventus exactly playing after Inter Milan have losses points will make Juventus more confidence get three points against AS Roma and important thing their target how to make close points and keep in tittle race for this season. AS Roma difficult get three points when facing top teams and likely this match will be three points for Juventus and keep interested with Scudetto tittle race in this season between Inter Milan and Juventus.

I don't think AS Roma have less motivation to win this match than Juventus. They both have in tight races and have their own targets for this season. With Juventus, it is Scudetto and they are racing with Inter Milan. With AS Roma, it is a top four and they are racing against many clubs. None of them will want to lose points from this match and a draw can be a disappointed result for both teams.

AS Roma difficult get three points when facing top teams and likely this match will be three points for Juventus and keep interested with Scudetto tittle race in this season between Inter Milan and Juventus.

AS Roma look to be weaker than Juventus but I don't see how Juventus will easily get three points from AS Roma. They have power and ability to win this match but they will not be given 3 points too easily from Mourinho and AS Roma. No big gift for a new year from Mourinho and Roma for sure.

It's quite true that the red card gotten by Osimhen in their last game to Roma will sorely affect them but we can also agree that the Nigerian can be done without in some games but in terms of strength, the home side have got more wins than Monza but one thing I'd agree with you on is that small teams just know how to upset the plans of big teams and in this case, Napoli who are looking to climb up.
 For Monza, they didnt mind a draw as it was better than a loss  but Napoli fans weren't impressed by the game as they expected more from their team and instead of goals, they got cards.

Napoli once again failed to win which made them lose a lot of points in their last 5 matches. Napoli have only won 1 match in their last 5 matches in Serie A, which is a bad statistic after they won the title last season. Napoli are not at their best this season, in fact I truly believe they will fail to progress to the next round of the Champions League when Barcelona are the opponents.

Atalanta, who have not played their 18th match, is likely to surpass Napoli in points and make Napoli drop to 8th place. Roma also has the opportunity to create a safe distance if they can win their next match against Juventus, but that is difficult to become a reality. In another match, Genoa forced Inter to draw in the first half with a score of 1-1 at the end of the first half, but Inter has a big chance to win the match based on its statistics and recent performance.

Last night just wasn't Inter Milan or Napoli's night at all and those games further proved the point that smaller teams will do anything to frustrate the bigger teams. Quite true that Napoli have lost lots of points and I don't think Atalanta will want to make that mistake when they meet Lecce today but being an early kick off, anything is bound to happen as I've seen big teams perform less than satisfactorily when they start early but maybe Atalanta will use that to their advantage.

Inter Milan's loss of points has resulted in Juventus narrowing the points gap with  Inter Milan. Juventus team is behind Inter Milan by 5 points without playing 1 match. Juventus will face Roma  in the next match. It cannot be said  for sure whether Juventus will be  able to win this home match. There is no doubt that Juventus are a strong and tactical team. But the Roma  team is not weak. With the help of Mourinho, Roma is able to perform well. Roma have the ability to beat Juventus if Lukaku and Dybala perform well. So this match will be very competitive. Closing the points gap with Inter Milan is a difficult task for Juventus.
