Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[rendravolt]

They're close to the relegation zone, and with Filippo Inzaghi in charge, they could recover. The next few games matter. Juventus and Napoli will be tough, but these matchups test a team's mettle. I think Salernitana might gain confidence and momentum with even a few surprising results.

Though erratic, their recent performances are improving. They need to retain team spirit and establish player chemistry, in my opinion. How they work together will determine their fate, not simply individual skill. I hope they succeed, and Im sure many others are eagerly watching these tough bouts.

Maintaining enthusiasm and building team chemistry is something that Salernitana must achieve and I agree with you. It's not easy to be a weak team in Serie A and they will still be an isolated team at the bottom if they are still stuck with their defeats. The results of the previous two matches were probably the result of the players' patience and they never gave up before they were free from the relegation zone.

Salernitana is only 1 to 2 points away from several teams above them and they have to win to be able to go further. But as we know it will be difficult when faced with Juventus and Napoli who will be their next opponents. For Juventus, Salernitana will definitely lose, but against Napoli, I think they are still quite reliable, especially since so far Napoli has collapsed and lost its consistency. So their hope is to get points against Napoli later.

Nothing change, Lautaro fist one with 15 goals and Berardi (i hope he become first) at 9 goals

Players from Africa would find it difficult to catch-up with the top scorers this time around at most Victor Oshime for Napoli and then Ademola Lookman who's currently pushing the attack for Atlanta.
They should already be with rest of them lad's at the National Camp anticipating for the kick off.

It'll be definitely difficult to see these players come back competing for the top scorers after the stress, heat and pressure from African Competitions. Olivier Giroud should try but he's not having enough chances created for him to nod in. Lol!

Lautaro Martinez though Injured competed hard with Victor Oshime last season, this season, it seem like he'll be the winner immediately he returns from Injury.

Cagliari is 18th in the table, at this moment they would be relegated to Serie B
He has 14 points, and has therefore lost many games, there is a reason. Furthermore, the company has problems and therefore I give it to Serie B with a 90% certainty.

It's not surprising that when talking about Cagliari this season, the inconsistency in the last few weeks has made Cagliari's decline in Serie A worse, of course their threat is to be kicked out of Serie B. From 18 matches they have experienced 10 defeats, 3 wins and 5 draws, certainly a bad achievement. For this season, the Cagliari squad still has the opportunity to get up and get away from the relegation zone, at least being more consistent in finding points in every match.

Cagliari is only a promoted team and if for example Cagliari is relegated at the end of the season then ya, I think it is still a reasonable result. But ya, even though Cagliari is only a promotion team and is in the relegation zone at this moment, but I think the results that Cagliari have gotten so far this season are not bad at all. Because after all, the fact is that Cagliari still has a great chance to get out of the relegation zone.

Considering Cagliari current points tally is 14 points and the same as Verona who are currently in 17th position. Also, Salernitana who are at the bottom of the table who only have 12 points this moment, but the reality is that Salernitana also still have a chance to get out of the relegation zone. So ya, with their points gap like this, I think the teams that are in the relegation zone at this moment certainly still have a chance to get out of the red zone, because they still have a close points gap that of course they will still be able to compete.

Coppa Italia round of 16 resumed.
So far Lazio, Fiorentina, Frosinone and Bologna qualified to the next round before the beginning of this year. The biggest blow was Inter and Napoli being kicked out of the competition.
Yesterday Milan won against Cagliari by 4 goals to 1 which is an expected victory.
Today there is two matches that will be played between Atalanta - Sassuolo and the next one is between Roma - Cremonese. The first impression that I have is Atalanta and Roma qualifications. Nevertheless, Sassuolo is an annoying opponent and could drive Atalanta to play penalties. Otherwise Roma's history with Cremonese isn't that successful since they lost two of the three matches that they played against each other.

If they can't bounce back quickly then they'll really be in Serie B for next season, but if they can show improvement then they might avoid relegation. Their points gap with the teams in the safety zone is still quite tight and that certainly still gives them a chance to stay in Serie A for next season. Verona, Sassuolo, Udinese and Frosinone are also still showing performances that can be said to be the same as them, so once again I say their chances of staying in Serie A are still there.
Now it depends on themselves whether they will be more motivated to give their best or not. Because it cannot be denied, usually if the team is at the bottom it will make the players also not more excited.

dont sell the bear skin before killing it, Napoli is not dead, not yet

Regarding Juventus, now that they are -2 behind Inter everyone is very excited and with very high morale, while the psychological pressure on the Inter players begins. I expect Juventus to become even stronger!

I think the favorites to win this are Juventus, AC Milan. Roma and Fiorentina also have a chance I believe. Currently, Atlanta vs Sassuolo is going on and Atlanta is ahead by 1-0. Atlanta will win this match I believe. Sassuolo cannot be doing much attacking on Atlanta.

I think the determining match will be between AC Milan and Juventus. As for the match between Roma and Cremonese, I think Roma will win clearly. Juventus will also beat Salerentina easily. But this is Copa Italia and weak teams beat strong teams here frequently. So anything might happen.

It doesn't matter about the opponents that Salernitana will face because after all, if for example the teams positioned above Salernitana get bad results then yes, of course Salernitana will still have a chance to get out of the relegation zone too. After all, sometimes the top Serie A teams when playing against teams in the lower zone also sometimes fail to get full points.

So yes, I personally don't mind about Salernitana's next opponents against Juventus and Napoli because yes, sometimes Juventus and Napoli can also fail in matches like this. Being in the top zone in the Serie A standings really doesn't guarantee that the top Serie A teams will win easily against mediocre teams, but let's wait and see whether the results are in accordance with easy predictions such as the top teams will win or maybe there will be surprises later.

Even without the best squad, Milan could still win big with that landslide score and they officially advanced to the quarterfinals of the Coppa Italia. Maybe it is true that Cagliari is not a weak team, but they do their best to defend themselves so they are not easily broken into. But unfortunately, even though Milan only has a squad, they can still destroy Cagliari easily and the difference in the level of players the two teams have is also quite different.

Now Milan is waiting for the results of the Atalanta vs Sassuolo match and whoever wins will be Milan's opponent in the quarterfinals. Of course Milan hopes to face Sassuolo because if not they will face a quite difficult opponent, namely Atalanta. Milan is quite optimistic in this competition and can at least win the Coppa Italia title this season.

Yesterday, Milan played host to Cagliari in the Copa Italia contest and they were able to secure a confident win which led to their advancement in the race. They didn't have as more stable squad as expected but they really were astonishing in the game. The goal margin was tangible and the game ended the way most people predicted that it would.

 Tonight their opponent will be decided from the outcome of the game between Atalanta and Sausuolo. Atalanta are already a goal ahead in the game, they're the host and so they've got the upper hand. Though not denying the fact that their visitors are a strong side who can put up a serious contest too. Let's wait for the final result before concluding. But whoever the winner will be, Milan will have to prepare hard ahead of the next fixture because it won't be an easy tussle considering the current nature of the team.

After swallowing a draw, Inter Milan will host Verona in the continued Serie A week 19. Realisticaly there is no reason for Inter Malan not to win this mtch, but given their results last week then it could be back they felt in this match. Last week they were held to a draw by Genoa and it was clear that I surprised some of us with what they achieved in that match. the article from the begining they were the favorite club that was predicted to be able to win the match, but the final result did not say they won.
Now the big chance for them comes to get back to maximum results after previously failing to get it. The threat is very big if they cannot achieve full results, Jventus will be increasingly eager to shift them at the top of the standings.

Only half of the season has gone and any team can turn anytime using the January transfer window. But I don't think that would happen to Caligari. They are doing alright considering they just got promoted to Serie A. They went to the Round of 16 in Copa Italia and lost to AC Milan 4-1. But I don't think it is out of the ordinary that Caligari is in the relegation zone.

They have the same points as the team in 17th position. So it is too early to say that they would be relegated. Let more time to go and the relegation battle might get very very interesting.

Juventus will also beat Salerentina easily. But this is Copa Italia and weak teams beat strong teams here frequently. So anything might happen.

Salernitana may not be a team that is equal to Juventus. However, a few weeks ago, Salernitana was able to hold AC Milan to a draw which was experiencing inconsistency. Even though this could be considered a coincidence, at least this could be a sign for Juventus to remain careful from attacks by Salernitana players. However, Salernitana chances of winning the match, remain very low.

[Weawant]

Salernitana still has a chances to get out of the relegation zone if this team is able to appear more impressive in the matches they will face, but the problems is that at the beginning of 2024, precisely entering the half the season, Salernitana will face quite tough teams, the first being Juventus, the seconds being Napoli, so this is a possibility Salernitana will lose 6 point in this match and if the rivals aboved it are able to win their respective match then they will be even further behind and it will be difficult for them to get out of the relegation zone while their position is now at the bottom so Salernitana must prepared themselves if they end up being relegated🥺

Salernitanas win against Verona birthed their hope of possibly exiting the relegation zone on the table, the three point boost they got winning that match further closed the margin with which they are behind other team who happens to be with them at the relegation on the table, another three points and they will be far above the relegation with 15 points.

Their next fixture been against Juventus isn't an opportunity for them at all to be able to have a second winnin a roll which will help them get out of the relegation at the moment as Juventus is rather seeing them as an opportunity for them to get to the top of the table a d further get keep hopes alive for winning the league title by the end of the season, Juventus is a better informed team than salernitana and they are at the second position with two points difference away from inter Milan who is at the top of the table, inter Milan and Juventus are fighting to stay at the top of the table to be able to have an opportunity to win the league title this season.

This season is special, only those clubs that have bright future will reach significant phase. I'm excited to watch my favorite club in Italy doing the best momentum and also having important phase to pass. Every club is stronger, we don't underrate any club here because there's no room to underestimate them prior to their current and previous performance. Juventus and Inter Milan, one of these teams will be going home with the scudetto, I'm keen on watching Juventus taking the lead. The overhyped Napoli is underrated this season, they have no solid performance this season.

Cagliari is 18th in the table, at this moment they would be relegated to Serie B
He has 14 points, and has therefore lost many games, there is a reason. Furthermore, the company has problems and therefore I give it to Serie B with a 90% certainty.

If they get 3 points, they can get out of the relegation pot, but this is not easy for Cagliari. We saw in the cup match against AC Milan that they could not get into many positions. Their defensive areas are problematic and their chances of winning against big teams are slim. They must find a way to win against the teams they will be playing in the mid-table. Otherwise, I think it is certain that they will be relegated to Serie B.

Cagliari is looking terrible at the moment. I can understand why people may think that they are going to go down, it is looking like they are having one of their worst season in recent years, and they just can't seem to be getting into position at all. From defense to midfield to offense, all the parts of the team looks like they are in disorganized situation and not really playing like a single unit, and that makes them look a lot worse.

I understand that we may consider this situation a bit different, but that doesn't mean that we are going to be right, we just need to make sure that we are betting on them to lose, and that will get us a lot of money. Most people think betting on the best teams is great, but betting on Cagliari to lose means you could get some good odds as well. I did that a few times already and made some good return as well, I believe that they will mostly lose until the end of the season and that's why betting like that is good.

Even though this could be considered a coincidence, at least this could be a sign for Juventus to remain careful from attacks by Salernitana players. However, Salernitana chances of winning the match, remain very low.

On paper there is no doubt in saying that Juventus can beat Salernitana, because Allegri squad is not busy with European competitions this season, it is clear they want to win every domestic competition they participate in. Looking at Juventus previous statistical records, I predict Salernitana can't do much in this match, they need a miracle to beat the Bianconeri.

Considering that the match will be held at Juventus venue, this of course adds to Allegri squad motivation to advance to the quarter finals. There isn't much that can be said about Filippo Inzaghi current squad, their chances of winning are very low as is their current position in the Serie A standings.

I think Juventus is one of the favorite teams in the Coppa Italia, as well as in Serie A. Allegri is able to make the club appear consistent, even though the challenges he faces are very different from other teams, I mean like in the case of Pogba and Fagioli.

Talking about clubs that are in the relegation zone, everyone still has a chance to get out of the relegation zone because the point difference very close, even Sassuolo, which outside the relegation zone, also has a chance to be shifted again and I wouldn't be surprised if a club like Cagliari, which a worthy promotion club get praise because club that are below the relegation zone sometimes provide surprises for big clubs to draw or even beat big clubs and one side of January the transfer market will open again and the chance of clubs being in the relegation zone can improve the quality of players and I'm sure Selernitana looks like that won't get away.

The Inter Milan team plays in the Champions League and Serie A. And in both  places they will try to do well.  And in such a busy schedule it becomes difficult to  consistently perform well in every match. The chances of players getting  injured also increases. But J uventus is not playing in Champions League or Europa League. So they  get plenty of time to prepare themselves before  every match. That's why despite not scoring  many goals, Juventus' performance is quite good  and regular. Juventus is only 2 points behind Inter Milan.
In  the next few matches, Juventus' opponents are quite weak. They will play against Salernitana Sassuolo, Lecce a nd Empoli. Juventus have a chance to go top of the table with consecutive  wins in these matches.

But these top professionals literally get into a zone where they don't think about the intense effort and performances they have to accomplish. It is really going from game to game for them and the only problem is an injury, that is correct. But these players are all living their dreams and for them it is rather beneficial to have more games than just one game per week. It's like they don't want to get kicked out of their rhythm when it is going perfectly for them.

I think Juventus will use this fixture advantage. All they have to do is win the matches and wait for Inter to drop points. As you said, Inter's more matches may put a strain on them and cause them to make changes in the squad before some matches. Therefore, they may lose points. We will wait and see if something like this will happen.

I don't know if Inter can improve their game with each match, but the fact that a team like Juventus is following them and they will be ahead at the first point loss may put a psychological strain on Inter. Top professionals have proven themselves by coming out well in such environments. Inter can do this too. With each passing week, things are getting more intense in the league and the viewing pleasure is getting better.

I said that quite the opposite is true. Injuries could get in the way because they have a higher load and that might put more stress on their physical condition, but still these guys are trained like nobody else and have all the recovery support they need. I just don't see it as a huge disadvantage if a team is playing in several competitions at the same time as that is what all of these players are striving for throughout their careers.

But yes Juventus Turin needs to focus on consistency and they must hope that Inter Milan will make a couple of mistakes or get into trouble because of injuries. But the same can happen to Juventus Turin.

The overhyped Napoli is underrated this season, they have no solid performance this season.

I am also excited seeing how Juventus is making the competition very intense with Inter Milan because they are now just two points behind Inter Milan and I am very sure Juventus will overtake Inter Milan because Inter will be facing Champions League knockout stage and Copa Italia; while Juventus is only facing the Seria A and Copa Italia that is why I am confident of them overtaking Inter Milan since they are also in the transfer Market to sign more players to strengthen the squad.

dont sell the bear skin before killing it, Napoli is not dead, not yet

yeah, Napoli is not dead yet.
However, if conditions continue like this, if Mazzarri is still unable to improve and bring Napoli to a much better situation, then slowly but surely, Napoli will remain in the middle standing clubs. Which means their hopes are completely dashed this season. and means they are no longer the giant club they were waiting for this season. It could be said that if conditions continue like this and there are no changes after the transfer market, this season will be the end for Napoli to be successful. It's just a matter of how they can improve the club for next season.
