Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[shogun47]

That win against Verona might have been the most crucial of the whole season for Salernitana. If they didn't win that game, it would have been like a hard punch in their face. But what's more promising than just the result is how that result was achieved during the game and it was a game away from home. Salernitana was equally strong and they weren't impressed by the disadvantage to play away from home.

Both teams are weak teams so it wouldn't be too surprising if one of them won, Salernitana has more motivation because they want to stay away from relegation therefore playing against a team like Verona is an important moment because there they have the potential to get points the situation would be different if it was against a strong team and they would lose points. Unfortunately, in the next 2 matches, Salernitana will have to play against 2 other strong teams such as Juventus and Napoli of course Salernitana chances of getting points are very low.

I wasn't talking about a surprise and it wasn't exactly a surprise at all. But given that this was only the second win of the entire season for Salernitana, I think it wasn't quite what most people would have chosen as a potential outcome since it was a game away from home. But this win changes the dynamic at the bottom of the table quite a bit. That is what I said. It now raised the tension for all teams that are involved in the fight against the relegation zone. And those who are supporting Salernitana, for them it was actually quite good news to say the least.

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.

That's right, AC Milan may currently making 3rd place as their target this season, even though Milan has the potential to become champion, but with the point difference with Inter & Juventus it seems difficult to overcome. This possibility does exist, but Milan's inconsistent performance could making AC Milan cannot stay in 3rd place or be able to compete for the Scudetto. The most important thing is how Pioli maximizes all the matches he will face in the second half of the season. 3rd position will be the best position for Milan. IMO.

That's a pragmatic assessment of AC Milan who emphasizes the importance of realistic goals, considering the point difference with Inter and Juventus. Setting achievable goals based on the team's performance and the competition's dynamics is essential for maintaining motivation and focus. This is meaningful to reduce pressure on the team. Milan can aim for a position that reflects their performance and challenges them to secure a spot in the Champions League by targeting the 3rd position.

Inconsistency in results can make it challenging to sustain a title challenge. Milan need to focus on maximizing performance in the second half of the season with a strategic approach. Aiming for 3rd place allows the team to concentrate on each match. while the are addressing the issues contributing to inconsistency, they can gradually climb the league ladder. This targeted approach ensures that the team stays competitive without succumbing to undue pressure associated with a direct title challenge.

Oh Shiit!

I just discovered that the defending Champions of Seria A ( Scudetto Competition ) are currently eighth position currently on the league standing. This is as a result of the poor Rudi Garcia who dragged this particular down to the mud.
I don't know too well about them head to head but this could still be a tough game. Victor Oshime would most likely not be involved as he'll be in camp with his National Team mates.

The African Cup of Nations Competitions begins soon and I don't think they want to risk him. He should be freed and allowed to go. The African Cup of Nations Competitions would be very important for Nigerians, they'll need their start man around.

Let's narrow it down to five games away from home, they've just won twice amd lost three, ain't that a poor show? They'll find the game difficult to win.

Osimhen's absence means a lot to Napoli indeed.    I totally forgot about the AFCON. Osimhen is also going there which means Napoli attacking line will be much weaker than now. Napoli have already been experiencing big difficulties in maintaining a good form. They couldn't beat Monza for example in which Osimhen didn't play as he wasn't in the squad.

A really tough time period is waiting for Napoli in short. Their defensive side is already weak and they will have more difficulty in making up for that by scoring more goals while Osimhen isn't in the squad for a while.

Both teams are weak teams so it wouldn't be too surprising if one of them won, Salernitana has more motivation because they want to stay away from relegation therefore playing against a team like Verona is an important moment because there they have the potential to get points the situation would be different if it was against a strong team and they would lose points. Unfortunately, in the next 2 matches, Salernitana will have to play against 2 other strong teams such as Juventus and Napoli of course Salernitana chances of getting points are very low.

Even though they won narrowly at home to Verona, now Salernitana still has to sit at the bottom of the standings because the points are still not enough to beat Verona, which is currently outside the relegation zone. And for the next match, the two teams are also very likely to lose because they have to face very strong teams in Serie A this season, namely Verona with Inter Milan and Salernitana with Juventus. So both of them are quite likely not to get points in their follow-up match this weekend.

[Raflesia]

Currently Juventus will only compete in the Italian Cup which is sometimes not too interested in big clubs and Serie A which of course this will slightly save their strength when compared to some other big clubs who are still in the Champions League and Europa League competitions.
It's just that even though it's like that and they continue to win but honestly I still see something lacking for them, especially in attack.

Currently their attack and goal productivity is a little disturbed and it is evident when they still have difficulty scoring goals in a match. Problems like this must be resolved by Juventus because if they are really serious about the Scudetto then they must be even better, especially for their current attack line.

It is quite accurate as you said, where juventus attack line is not very impressive this season because if we look at the many match that juventus have played where they often end the match with a narrow win, namely 1-0. Of course, if you look in depth, it is clear that their attackers are not very fertile when it comes to scoring goal, there is a slight decline in the quality of juventus strikers like vlahovic. Apart from that, I think Allegri must look for a new striker to be able to support their performance in the upcoming match.

Of course Juventus have a lot of free time this season which can have a good impact on them continuing to focus on Serie A. And also the players can avoid injuries because they don't have a tight schedule this season. Well, with Juventus good performance so far, There is a possibility that they have prepared greater preparations for the winter transfer window. Maybe in terms of defense, It is quite strong, they just need a few changes to their front line.

Finding a new striker is a little complicated for Juventus because after all they have to try to eliminate several players if they really want to bring in players especially if the goal is a player who has above average quality.
The current situation for Juventus they will still have difficulties because their finances are still not very good so looking for a new striker can be done if they sell players as a sacrifice.

Currently, the interest of several big clubs in Dusan is still very much only Juventus are still reluctant to release this player. Dusan himself until now did not have good momentum and his game seemed ordinary at Juventus in contrast to the performance he showed at Fiorentina so this could be an option if in the end they want to find a new striker then donating Dusan still makes sense even though this is also full of risks.
The advantage is only because their focus in the competition is not divided but sometimes it can be useless if in the end they cannot maximize the opportunities they have this season just because their productivity is poor and the strikers cannot provide answers as is the case now even though they always get 3 points.

But I am sure that this is not how the players and everyone else at Salernitana is looking at things right now. They know that this was a huge step into the best direction they could take. How vital these three points were to their survival in the Serie A can hardly be put into words. If they lost that game Verona would have had the chance to significantly increase the gap and that would have meant one more team is miles away from Salernitana. Now things look much better for them and it is doable, it is now thinkable to stay in Serie A.

Yes, Salernitana are still at the bottom of the standings, but with these 3 points they are now only 2 points away from relegation meaning it only needs one more win to do it and they will be at the first safe point. I monitored Salernitana in the last 2 matches and that is an extraordinary achievement draw against Milan and win against Verona, Salernitana will have to repeat this in the next few matches only in this way can they be safe from degradation. Do you believe Salernitana will stay in the Italian League next season?

[slapper]

...........

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.

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.

Indeed, Juventus' schedule this season is lighter than normal. But that doesn't make things easy, right? Consider the Salernitana games. Due to their league position, they can be surprising opponents. Considering the squad depth issues you highlighted, Allegri has his work cut out for him.

Squad rotation is a double-edged sword. A constant starting lineup improves team cohesion but increases fatigue and injury risk. I expect Allegri's tactical skills to be tested here. It's good that young guys are receiving chances. Rising stars like Fagioli and Miretti could revolutionize the game.

Big picture: catching up with Inter. Not just winning matches, but taking advantage of every opportunity, including Inter's mistakes. It's a huge order, but this is Juventus. Built for challenges like this.

Osimhen's absence means a lot to Napoli indeed.    I totally forgot about the AFCON. Osimhen is also going there which means Napoli attacking line will be much weaker than now.

A really tough time period is waiting for Napoli in short. Their defensive side is already weak and they will have more difficulty in making up for that by scoring more goals while Osimhen isn't in the squad for a while.

I can't imagine how Napoli play without Osimhen even with Osimhen in the Napoli team not yet able to compete with other top teams lol, I didn't expect to see Napoli in the 8th place this week even though we knew who was the Serie A champion last season, changes occur so fast even in just a few months and even more sad Napoli could not get a place in the Champions League zone. We still remember Napoli scored 77 goals last season but in the middle of this season Napoli only scored 28 goals, this means that we clearly see a decline in goals activities. I'm not sure Napoli need a new striker because they already have it it's just that hope is too high from the results.

[giammangiato]

.....

With this victory, Juventus lessened the point gap between them and Inter Milan to 2 points. Inter Milan should be concerned right now. They have a very busy schedule coming up in February due to the Uefa Champions League matches. They should have been trying to increase the gap between them and Juventus but they just dropped points against Genoa Yesterday. With this busy schedule, I don't think they can keep up. They have their match against Juventus in the first week of February and then playoff matches against Atletico in the UEFA Champions League. They need to make sure they win these 2 matches to keep going. If Juventus wins, they will have a lead over Inter Milan.

I knew it, I hoped for it and I knew that my beloved would not disappoint me. As I have always said to friends like Lillominato89, Inter must be careful, if you make a mistake we at Juventus are ready to take advantage of it! So watch out, we are breathing down your neck, -2! ahaha

[bastisisca]

Juventus were able to beat Roma without difficulties, although they scored only one goal. I think that Salernitana will not create any problems for Juventus to win again. I don't know what has to happen for Salernitana to prevent Juventus from getting the three points.

Honestly, I didn`t expect such supremacy, even if they only scored one goal they were actually decisive in the match, they led the match as they saw fit and this is no small thing at all. Congratulations to Massimiliano Allegri. Good job.

I'm not sure Napoli need a new striker because they already have it it's just that hope is too high from the results.

not only without Osimhen, Politano is also not in the team. and that made Napoli's attack line very directionless. This made fans doubt the tactics used by Mazzarri. Napoli's performance seems to continue to decline. and nothing motivates players to get better.
I'm sure some of the good players who are currently supporting the Napoli squad could leave Napoli. Osimhen probably regrets not accepting offers from several big European clubs in the transfer market last summer.

I think they got the most important victory by taking 3 points from Verona. Even though they are currently in last place in the league, they are now hopeful. After a few good wins, they will try to increase their chances of staying in the league. It is impossible for them to surprise in the Juventus and Napoli matches, but they can be better after that.

Osimhen is a big player for Napoli and with him, Napoli have a very strong offensive line. They also sold Eljif Elmas to Leipzig and Osimhen has now gone to the African Cup. If he leaves the team, they have to strengthen the offensive line again, but this will not be easy. As the season continues, sending players to the African Cup poses a huge problem for the teams. Especially if such a quality name goes to the tournament.

For Salernitana to be able to exit the relegation zone, it will mean they will have to win two consecutive matches while sassuolo along side Verona will aswell loose two games too because if they don't loose their games and Salernitana happens to win theirs, they will only move from the bottom to 18th position which still keeps them at relegation.

 Salernitana should basically fight to get out of relegation even though I know it's really going to be a pretty hard task because they will need so much to get pass there and the season has already gone pass half already, they have not Ben in a good form at any point this session o been relegated isn't actually real surprising, they have won only a single game their season. Considering playing against Juventus except they are able to get a draw it's definitely going to further get them all stocked in the relegation because Juventus wants to get back to the top of the standing and this is their chance and I'm sure they aren't giving it up for anything.

I would guess that they would probably not manage to achieve it, a lot of teams try to get out of relegation zone, but the thing about relegation is that some teams have to go down, there isn't really an option that they could stay, they just have to go down and that's what they do. If that is a mathematical must, if some teams have to go down then I do not see why not them.

They look like one of the worst teams in the league and if they do manage to go down then it would make sense. I am not really sad or upset about that one, but Empoli and Cagliari are very long standing teams who has done great in history and they haven't been that great recently and looking like going down again, which is quite said when you see that, I have to say it is not really that nice of a feeling.

[redsun114]

After the previous match, Atalanta lost against Bologna, but that didn't make them give up and immediately came back to win and they did that when they hosted Lecce last weekend. Atalanta achieved a narrow victory after beating Lecce with a narrow score of 1-0 and making them continue to overshadow Bologna with a difference of 3 points. Again, Ademola Lookman is the key player who brought Atalanta to 3 points at home and so far the second striker from Nigeria has contributed 7 goals for Atalanta.

Well, for Lecce, they ended up continuing to experience decline in every match, even though at the start of this season they were at the top but again as a weak team they returned to their original habitat at the bottom. In the last 5 matches, Lecce only got one win and that was clearly a bad result for them and made it even easier to go down if they continued to lose in the next match.

Atlanta is one of the most inconsistent team in Serie A I am following them for few years with mostly they are having good start but then suddenly they have gone on wrong side and face issues which bring them down even once they were title contender, but suddenly they slip and have to stay at 5th or 6th spot in current season they are doing all as their usual business 7 loses from their 18 matches Fiorentina and Bologna already edge past them and now in next game they are going to visit Roma which is also good and improved even lost their last game against Juventus, but they were right on target which create good chances as well.

Currently, they are doing tough job for the staying in UEFA competitions, but they need to improve their performance with having quality players, but things are not going favourable for them so most chances they will do their best but still have to be much better and consistent.

There are 20 games to go from now and it is only 5 points between Udinese as 15th and Salernitana as 20th. That leaves Salernitana with three spots to realistically go for to avoid relegation at the end of the season. That doesn't sound to me as if that was a mission impossible. The win has shown that they are still alive and kicking. If they can beat Verona, nothing speaks against beating any of the other four teams that are in the relegation area. Frosinone hasn't won any of their last five games and is crashing at the moment.

They drew 2-2 with Milan and Milan equalized in extra time. Salernitana almost beat them. They got 3 points away from Verona. They beat Lazio. They are currently on the rise and I think they can go to the top of the league. Even though they are at the bottom, they have become a big threat in recent weeks. Their general problem is that they receive red cards. They need to pay attention to this issue, they have been receiving red cards more frequently in recent weeks.

Before now Atalanta used to be one of the top clubs in the serie A, competing with the likes of inter, juve, Milan, Napoli, Lazio and other top Italian football clubs but that is not the case anymore as they have suddenly taken a nosedive in recent years both in domestic and European competitions, they couldn't even make it to the champions league this season, this decline could also be attributed to the fact that Atalanta could not participate actively in the transfer market as other clubs do thereby failing to build a strong team that withstanding the challenges in the league, right now they seem a bit stable at the moment and I hope they maintain the status quo so they play in the champions league or the Europa league next season.

Although Salernitana's performance has been poor since the beginning of the season, the team's performance has improved significantly in the last two matches. They drew 2-2 with Milan and won against Verona. It was Salernitana's second win of the season. But even then I don't think Salernitana will be able to get out of the relegation zone. However, Salernitana is only two points behind Verona, who are out of the relegation zone. If salernitana's players can play well and win a few matches together, they have a chance to get out of the relegation zone. Salernitana will play against Juventus in the next match. I don't see any chance of them winning this match.
