Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Hirose UK]

~snip~

I get your perspective on Juventus-Roma. It's disappointing when a major match concludes with one goal. Serie A is like that, right? Juventus and Roma have prioritized defense. Juventus conceded 11 goals and Roma 20 this season, demonstrating their solid defenses. This strategy works, although it generally leads to fewer goals

Juventus getting closer to Inter is remarkable given their past troubles. Amazingly, they're only two points behind. Juventus and Inter have good matches coming up, so the title fight is heating up. Roma, with the same points as Napoli, are still in contention

Even though they only won very narrowly 1 - 0, this was victory that was really hoped for by many people.
I was really quite impressed with Juventus game which was able to maintain 1 goal lead over Roma until the match ended.
Both team played very well from the start and of course they looked more defensive or careful in order to optimize much stronger defensive line, just look at both team having the same strategy and playing formation.
The central position is preferred to help their defense become stronger and can help make the attack line sharper, but only Juventus were able to really create an advantage thanks to Adrien Rabiot goal in the 47th minute.

Juventus will be far superior to Roma for this season.
Now Juventus only has difference of 2 points and this is quite dangerous condition for Inter Milan because once mistake occurs, Juventus can take advantage of it and take over first position.

This season is almost halfway through the season and has already reached 18 matches out of total of 38 matches.
I sure that Juventus will try very hard to win the title and they will want to take revenge for all the problems that happened to them last season.

Congratulations to Juventus for winning their difficult match at home to AS Roma. Actually AS Roma performed well in this match, it's just that they always have difficulty when building attacks, I was personally not surprised when I saw it, because from the beginning Juventus had a good defense, so it was natural that they could again show a solid defense in this match.
The first half they did not create a goal, but entering the second half, Juventus could create a quick goal, I think it happened because the AS Roma players were not in a state of high concentration and Juventus could take advantage of it.
I actually didn't predict that AS Roma would play that bravely, because at the beginning I thought they would try to play their defensive strategy.

The reason for Roma played bravely but performed actually quite bad is Mourinho. As someone who loves Jose Mourinho, I want to give him credit for his time in Roma but he should be fired. He won 1 cup and made 1 cup final and lost that final because of the referee, but this season will be his 3rd year in the league and Roma is still in the same place. OK, they hardly score goals but Roma is a very sterile team in terms of offence. They can't produce positions, there is no great passes. If they score from a set-piece or a counter-attack, they can only score from a set-piece, otherwise it is impossible for them to score. Roma was 5-6 before Mourinho came, but they were scoring a lot of goals. With Mourinho, it's still 5-6 but the goal ratio has dropped a lot. I think Mourinho should be sacked.

Juventus did well to win this match. I can say that this was not easy for them. But at the end of the day, they got the three points. And that's what matters. Doesn't matter how many goals they have scored. I was actually happy to see that they were able to keep a clean sheet in this match. Juventus is definitely a contender for the title this season. Now only 2 points behind Inter. So I think they have a very good chance to actually win the title. I know the matches are going to be harder later on for Juventus. But I hope they will be able to be consistent.

Juventus rarely disappoints their fans when Juventus plays as host. Even though Juventus actually has limited players. But in fact Juventus is a club that has been quite consistent to date. The difference in points with Inter Milan is very narrow. And yes, the opportunity for Juventus is still wide enough to win the title this season. Juventus just needs to continue to consistently achieve 3 points and wait for Inter Milan to lose points.

In the next match, Juventus actually has quite an easy opponent. Because in the next match Juventus will face Salernitana, who have actually played very inconsistently this season. And even currently Salernitana is ranked at the bottom of the standings.

But the problem is that Salernitana has recently started to recover and show improvement in their performance. Yesterday they managed to beat Verona and the previous week Milan were only able to share points against Salernitana. Maybe Juventus shouldn't underestimate Salernitana. Because unexpected results could occur in this match. But I don't think Juventus is the type of team that underestimates its opponents. So in the next match I think Juventus will win 3 points again.

Previously we predict that Napoli will be the main competitor to win the scudetto but a few weeks after the new season began we saw Juventus and Inter Milan who would fight each other and that continues to this day so I agree that Milan and Fiorentina are excluded in the race. We know that at this time Inter Milan is more favored to win the trophy because they have the ability in attack and defense the only obstacle to Inter Milan is a busy schedule this has an impact on the condition of the players fatigue and injury will be the main risk. I think the coach should find a solution in the near future before all competitions start.

The competition for the scudetto has taken an unexpected turn with Juventus and Inter Milan emerging as strong contenders. The busy schedule poses a challenge for Inter Milan, considering the potential risks of player fatigue and injuries.

What do you think should be the coach's strategy to address these concerns and ensure a successful campaign for Inter Milan?
How do you see Napoli bouncing back in the race, and are there any other teams that might surprise us in the upcoming matches?

But I hope they will be able to be consistent.

well, this is what is difficult for top teams like Juventus to do now as part of the top teams because consistency is really needed to reach the top of the standings and dominate until the end of this season. I admit that the match against Roma was not an easy task for Allegri because Roma had a pretty good defense but unfortunately the attackers were quite weak so Juventus had difficulty scoring but with solid cooperation they could produce a winning score at the end of the match.
If I look more deeply, Inter and Juventus have similarities in performance and consistency because if we remember, previously Inter competed as hosts against Roma and also managed to win but only got 1 winning score and this is the same as the case with Juventus match yesterday.

the competition at the top of the serie A standings is becoming more interesting and very competitive. these two great teams will continue to do their best and compete for the Scudetto title and everything will be answered when one of these teams makes a mistake and loses control and will only be runner up. but it is quite difficult who will get the title because the match still has a long way to go and if Inter fails they may have to fight in the UCL to get the prestigious title to replace the disappointment of Inter fans.

[armanda90]

Simeone Inzaghi and Massimiliano Allegri the coaches that have eyes on the scudetto. Juventus are behind Inter Milan, there's no how these clubs will be able to fight for good spots without weighing up challenges. I put the praise to the players who were wonderfully impressed and formed, they play as if it happens to be the UEFA Champions League final. Juventus performance was levelled to become a top performance against AS Roma. They settle every knots and threats from the visitors, though it was really tough but they have to handle the crucial circumstances at hand.

Inter Milan and Juventus likely close with Scudetto in this season behind both teams remaining two points left with Inter Milan manage top position awhile, failing to get three points in the match against Genoa meant that Juventus put it to good use when they managed to beat AS Roma and pressure Inter Milan on top position behind three points left.
Currently with 20 matches left in domestic league not only Juventus or Inter Milan are the top race for winning Scudetto in this season but also AC Milan likely still have the opportunity for getting domestic league tittle in this season.
More interested if Scudetto fight by third team or more because most compete until end the matchday, hope with AC Milan and Napoli can return to their top level performance and make Scudetto not dominance by Inter Milan or Juventus only.

Inter Milan are looking to do well in the Champions League and Serie A as well. And in these two competitive leagues, it is difficult to maintain consistent good performances. Inter Milan have a very busy schedule ahead. And this will increase the injury proneness of the players. If an important player of the team suffers an injury, its impact will definitely be seen in the overall performance of the team. On the other hand, Inter Milan's main rivals for the Serie A title, Juventus, are aiming for the Serie A title. They are not playing in Champions League or Europa League. So it will be relatively easy for Juventus to maintain the consistency of performance. Before each match they will have enough time to strategize.

[Webetcoins]

Milan flopped at some point, I was thinking they'll want to get the current manager sacked since he got dumped out of the Champions League group stage just like it was for them last season.
We all shall monitor of he successfully lead them well in the European Europa League Competition. But in the league, it feels like a safe passage for them into the next Champions League.

I didn't follow Fiorentina very well, they're not amongst the clubs I fan in Italian Seria A. Disappointed with Atalanta though because I believe they can do better.

For Juventus, Props to to them, they're doing what's meant to be done. I hope they get to finalize the signature of Kalvin Philips from Manchester City they need that additional players in midfied and attack who can convert chances for em.

We have currently only two clubs those are doing good performance with consistency and also having fair chance for staying at the top until end of this season with AC Milan is also good but not consistent which is also important for the top teams with few others are already losing their points consistently, and we can't predict about them with who could be in line for the last spot even few are going good but as mentioned consistency is key which is not available in rest of the Italian teams in this season.

Atlanta and Fiorentina both are mostly lost their control near the end of the season with they are having problems and also not able to do improvement Napoli and Roma are also having not good time and things are looking complicated for the rest of the season for them and how to manage their performance for having better spots until end of this season.

Juventus have been performing consistently well in Serie A this season as they are not playing in the Champions League or Europa League. So before every match the coach gets plenty of time to prepare his match strategy and also the players get plenty of time to recover. That's why Juventus are doing well despite not having many star players in their squad. They also got a narrow 1-0 win against Roma in a tough match.

Juventus' main weakness is that their bench team is not strong. So if a key player in the squad suffers an injury then Juventus do not have a suitable replacement. Players should try their best to stay fit.

The Salernitana team is not a tough opponent for Juventus right now. However, in the last two matches against Milan and Verona, the performances of Salernitana were very good. But I hope Juventus will not make any mistakes in this match.

Did I hear you say Juventus really disappointed their fans? No I don't think, they might not be at the top of the table but being in 2nd place, is enough to put a smile on the faces of their fans and mind you they not lost in their last two matches, they won José Mourinho's Roma and went ahead to beat Frosinone away from home, that's an impressive one cause it's kept them in second place with just 2 points behind the league leaders Inter Milan and any slight mistake from Inter would give Juve a big advantage to lead the table.
 
 In their next match they'll be facing Salernitana and I think that should be a walkover for them cause they'll be playing a team that are at the very bottom of the table and are very poor in performance, Salernitana have only won twice with about ten losses and 12 points which is very poor, if they even get a draw against Salernitana then the fans have every right to be disappointed at them afterwards.

Ah yes, that's right, I forgot that Juventus doesn't have a busy schedule this season. So it is natural that they can remain consistent with very limited ones. And actually Allegri doesn't have many options for rotating players. And yes, the concern for the Juventus squad lies in the limited availability of reserve players that Juventus has this season.

Against Salernitana it shouldn't be a difficult opponent for Juventus. The most important thing is that Juventus must not underestimate their opponents. They must always treat every match as an important match like against other strong teams. Because most strong teams always lose to weak teams because they underestimate their opponents.

These both coaches are currently at the top with their teams performance and things are clearly going for them to fight till end of this season even we know Inter Milan is clearly ahead as they have much better firepower for the win of scudetto and Juventus is not able to have any quality striker due to financial issues, but they need to work on this if they want to go through until end of this season otherwise we can expect better lead for the Inter Milan in coming weeks Juventus is clearly having problem into their attack.

Juventus wins against Roma due to their tight defensive play and use of tactics which works for them but still they need to work on and Inter Milan which is leading and having good chance for the another final of Champions League is also surely exciting team to watch in this season in all competitions.

They must always treat every match as an important match like against other strong teams. Because most strong teams always lose to weak teams because they underestimate their opponents.

Salernitana will meet Juventus in two events at once, the Italian league and the Italian Cup in the next few days, I know Salernitana is at the bottom of the Italian league so it is not a club that poses a serious threat to Juventus, but with a short time gap between the two matches, Allegri has to organize and rotate the players so they don't feel tired due to this busy schedule. At least the Juventus players are in good form.

Victory is of course Juventus' main goal, especially in the Italian league, they have to catch up with Inter Milan, that's why they have to be able to take advantage and wait for Inter Milan to make another mistake so that Juventus can overtake them at the top of the standings and win the title this season. that's what all Juventus supporters might hope for. My prediction is that Juventus will win the match against Salernitana

Consistency is the most important thing in this case. And all strong teams will fail if they are unable to maintain their consistency throughout the season. This season Inter Milan is a team that is showing the good consistency they have. Meanwhile, last season Napoli also showed solid consistency from start to finish. And in the end, every team that is consistent will win the title. This season is only half over. And Inter Milan have passed the half quite extraordinary. But they are still in a vulnerable position to be dropped again. Because Juventus is right below them and is ready to replace Inter Milan at the top if Inter Milan starts to lose consistency.

AC Milan will probably just struggle to keep themselves in the top 4 and compete with Fiorentina and Bologna for a while. Meanwhile, Roma and Napoli will still be busy getting closer to the top 4 rankings.

I think this is not too surprising because after all, by looking at the situation that happened this season and last season this is not too different, it's just the difference last season the dominance was in the hands of Napoli, who played very badly this season.
As for the competition from Inter and Juventus last season they also competed, it's just that Juventus had legal problems that made them thrown out of the Champions League and Europa League zones and Inter experienced consistency problems which have always been their main problem.

At the moment the big chance is still very much felt for them, it's just that we also still don't know about the continuation that will happen because the performance in Serie A is all unpredictable.
I still expect Inter's form to continue until the end of the season but Inter are Inter where they can have a very good performance quickly and turn bad quickly too.

From the very beginning of the season, Napoli, Ac Milan, Napoli, Inter Milan and Juventus have been the hot favorites for the league. Ac Milan did great but dropped down after some issues, they still be struggling though. It's just the consistentcy of both Juventus and Inter Milan so far. They have made the league lively. Inter Milan dropped points against Genoa and Juventus took good use of the chances they had to narrow the gap.

Inter Milan has a good coach and he'll be able to lead them until the end of the season. My major concern is for Napoli, how are they this bad? 8th Position? Shit sucks.

And actually Allegri doesn't have many options for rotating players. And yes, the concern for the Juventus squad lies in the limited availability of reserve players that Juventus has this season.

I think this season is the year Juventus won the Serie A League and a moment to rise up because previously there were many obstacles, especially like last season when they were supposed to be able to play in Europe, but apparently they couldn't. Because Juventus was subject to a points deduction. Juventus' absence from the UCL and Europa League events is certainly an opportunity for Juventus to maintain the fitness of their players because apart from not having a schedule like Inter Milan, they can also fully focus on Serie A, more precisely their concentration is not divided by other competitions.

Against Salernitana it shouldn't be a difficult opponent for Juventus. The most important thing is that Juventus must not underestimate their opponents. They must always treat every match as an important match like against other strong teams. Because most strong teams always lose to weak teams because they underestimate their opponents.

Juventus must not waste any more points, so in all matches they must not underestimate their opponents, even if their opponents are at the bottom of the standings. Against SalesNitana, I believe Juventus will get points easily because this match is played in their own game, and Juventus is superior materially.
Even though I myself don't like Allegri's strategy which is still the same or too monotonous, there is a positive side behind his monotonous strategy, but in several matches Allegri dared to play young academy players such as Kenan Yildiz, Nicolo Fagioli, Fabio Miretti, Dean Huijsen and Samuel Illing- Juniors.

Several big teams in the previous season experienced quite drastic setbacks for them this season, such as Lazio and Napoli, so it is quite natural that we see competition at the top of the standings being filled again by big teams such as Inter milan and Juventus. Even for Inter milan, they have been sitting at the top of the standing for a long time because no other team apart from juventus has put pressure on them. Inter milan this season has a strong squad and is ready to win the title.

Inter Milan glory is increasingly visible when they have returned to their best era after Simone inzaghi became their coach. Inzaghi succeeded in developing his players to find their best form, such as Martinez and Thuram. So, if Inter milan succeeds in becoming champions this season, of course we have seen in the previous few seasons that Serie A always takes turns for each team to become champions.

You are right, this season's title win depends on Inter's consistency. Although now Inter minal is at the top of the points table with their good consistency. However, there is some doubt whether inter Minal will be able to retain this top position. Because Juventus will try their hardest to dislodge Inter Milan from the top spot. Juventus need just 3 points to knock Inter Milan off the top spot. Juventus fans believe that a win against Salernitana in the next match will keep Juventus at the top of the points table.

[MarjorieZimmermanGinger]

As I have always said, Serie A is a super defensive league and not many goals happen here and when it's between two big teams and no one is clearly dominating, the score remains very low on goals. But I have the same thoughts as you. Mourinho's management actually did surprise me. He is basically known for his park the bus mentality but yesterday he had 58% possession.

You are right and I always like how clubs in Serie A play defensive ball and they are known as a team that is quite strong in defense. Ball possession at 58% is something new that I have seen because when Jose Mourinho faces a team that is much stronger he will usually try to defend fully and rely on counter attacks to steal goals from his opponent.

But possession does not matter when you can't create chances, get shots on target, and all that. Juventus had more shots, shots on target despite having less possession. Either way, they have won the match and got the 3 points so it does not really matter how they got them. Roma's defeat put them on the back foot in the top 4 race. On the other hand, Juventus got closer to Inter Milan after beating Roma as Inter Milan drew against Genoa last night.

Juventus won a lot in that match and I think the effectiveness of the strategy implemented by the coach worked quite well. They let AS Roma have the ball but never let it get into the penalty box area. This is a fairly even match and I think Juventus is getting stronger with the strength they have at the moment. Inter Milan needs to be wary of Juventus because they have more time to prepare everything to win the Scudetto this season.
