Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Minecache]

The fact that there are only 5 points to Fiorentina (fourth place) does not mean anything at all. In such situations, you need to take into account the number of teams that are in front of you. For example, if there was only one point to fourth place, but there were 100 teams ahead of Napoli, then Napoli’s chances of overtaking them all would be practically zero. Now there are as many as five teams ahead of Napoli and this is a large enough number that, despite the formally small gap, we can assume that Napoli’s chances are very low. Maybe a change of coach will give some kind of shake-up to the team, but at the moment it is not very clear how Napoli can seriously strengthen.

I don't think it's impossible for Napoli to qualify for the Champions League yet. Because there is still a long journey ahead. Each team will still play 19 more matches. So the scenario is likely to change. But for that, Napoli need to play well and win consistently. Napoli team is 5 points behind Fiorentina in the fourth place in the table. Napoli are also now ninth in the points table. There is still a chance to finish fourth in the table with consistent good performances and wins. But as Napoli are currently performing poorly, the chances of Napoli winning every match in a row is very low.

Napoli chance of finishing in 4th position is in their hands, but if they fail to improve their performance and win most of their matches, I don't think that it is be possible for them because the clubs ahead of Napoli also trying their best to see that they can qualify for UCL too.

It will be a big challenge for them because of their current form and their coach can't come up with a good game strategy to see if it will work out, since the old one is not favoring them. I feel for Napoli each time that I see them struggle to win a match and they end up losing the match. The defending champions are now vulnerable to small clubs.

I will actually say that them being in the 9th position already is definitely a red flag. It has not been half of the season. And they are already in the 9th position. Even though the point difference is not very big, it is going to be hard for them to actually decrease the point difference. And remember they are the defending champions. So if our better performance was expected from them. It is probably not going to be a bad thing to assume that they are not defending the title successfully. But of course, a lot of things can happen. Maybe the performance will improve for them quickly. But the way they are performing, I don't see them suddenly going into the top 4/3 positions anytime soon.

[temple]

But I think the whole story about the penalties is now over, they are done with it in their minds as well. You can see that they are on their way back to become a reliable force in Italian football again. They are now facing a tough challenge due to Inter Milan performing on such a high level, but it is a good test for them to see where they are at. They can have goals against and don't need to fear any further penalties as far as I know. Whatever they achieve this year won't be taken away from them. I think that's the most important for them to now know that they can make plans for the future.

Juventus have served all the punishments that hit them last season. So this season they no longer have anything to do with punishment because everything was decided last season. Juventus can play well this season to improve their performance which was quite poor last season. The fans certainly want to see juventus win another trophy and this season they have the opportunity to get the Scudetto if they are able to maintain their good performance until the end of the season.

Juventus is a big team in Serie A. They have quite good players this season, such as Chiesa and Vlahovic, so Allegri has a squad that is quite ready to be able to compete with Inter Milan. Juventus have only suffered one defeat this season and if you look at them overall this season, of course they appear quite impressive compared to last season.

Considering that Juventus Turin went through such a mess in 2006 already, I think the fear was intense that they could be facing similar charges again. That's why I think everyone dealt with it in a somewhat pleased way. They knew that they could continue in Serie A and don't have to wait several years until they can compete for the Scudetto and the qualification for the Champions League. In 2006 those were really rough times when they took the Serie A title away from Juventus and sent them into Serie B. In consideration of that punishment, this was almost a light version I think and they are on a good way to leave the issues behind.

Your bets are on stronger teams and you rely on theory that stronger teams will sureoy win their matches. It will not always happen and bookmakers will make surprise to gamblers that stronger team can have a draw or defeat.

I see Fiorentina, Lazio and Atalanta might drop points and some of them will not get maximum three points.

Napoli does have a lot of problems this season, and so far there has not been any assessment for Mazzari because he is still too new to handle the team and also when Mazzari arrived in the middle of an ongoing competition of course Mazzari needed time to adapt, I think there is no need to be careless anymore For the Napoli team to change coaches because that is not a good thing, it is actually a big gamble.

Many people think Napoli has big problem because Spaletti left their club after the past successful season. It is not true and Spaletti just knew that Napoli will be research more by competitors and will not be able to defend Scudetto. He decided to leave as a champion and defend his reputation. Additionally, taking a chance to manage Italy is like a dream for Italian coaches and Spaletti just did what his heart wants.

Napoli did not lose many star players in the summer, only Kim Min Jae but rest of their players can not repeat similar forms like the last season. Together they actually are a weaker team than they were just one season ago. Mazzari can not do much when a source of creativeness Kravatskhelia is constrained a lot in this season. It affects Osimhen's chances to score goals and the Nigerian striker performance too.

[bitcampaign]

I did not expect Juventus to pull out this great performance in Serie A this season, because Juventus had a very bad performance last season in Serie A, they didn't qualify for the UEFA Champions League. But this season Juventus is challenging Inter Milan for the Serie A title and when the Champions League round of 16 starts, Juventus might enter the top of the Serie A table, because Inter Milan will have a busy schedule.

Actually, last season Juventus' performance itself was not bad, it's just that Juventus experienced bad luck with the reduction in the number of points they had last season, which prevented Juventus from qualifying for the Champions League and also for the European League. This is what has been proven again this season, that Juventus is indeed a team that has more abilities than other teams, so it is very possible to continue to catch up with Inter Milan at the top of the standings until the end of the season.

Juventus rarely had bad performance and as you can see that how the club was able showing very good performance in all of the competitions. Juventus could perform in UCL this season but it was useless caused by UEFA is banning juventus from participating in the european competition this season. Im also concerning this too. The performance of juventus never goes down and this is the fact. Im also aware if juventus never had bad performance since last season. It was always consistently sitting in the second place.

If there was no cheating from the Italian football federation, it is possible that last season Juventus would always be a frightening specter for Serie A clubs, even though there were several problems that were experienced to bring down Juventus, the management continued to give the best for Juventus and worked well and consistently until now. This, all proven by the game this season which is very consistent and plus some of their young players are really being questioned, Juventus have found the rim of their game that was previously lost and they have also found a figure who can be trusted to be the successor to ADP and Dybala, Kenan Yildiz was able to quickly adapt to his senior players and became an executor on the field with Dusan Vlahovic.

It actually makes sense to bet on the club that is stronger, or has a better ranking in the standings, but it's true that it doesn't always go perfectly, sometimes there are things that make the match not go smoothly for the more favored club. I myself would probably say the same and be more promising when betting like OP, but I still have doubts about some clubs like Napoli for example. Indeed their opponent is a club that is at the bottom of the standings, but their own appearance is not so promising lately, so many of them make mistakes and cannot take advantage of opportunities that are actually very much on their side. But it's not wrong to try, but I might combine it with other more promising matches.

Napoli does have a lot of problems this season, and so far there has not been any assessment for Mazzari because he is still too new to handle the team and also when Mazzari arrived in the middle of an ongoing competition of course Mazzari needed time to adapt, I think there is no need to be careless anymore For the Napoli team to change coaches because that is not a good thing, it is actually a big gamble.

time is running out, while the league is getting tight. Mazzari cannot stay with the team in this condition for any longer. If his current squad does not match his criteria or cannot be integrated with his strategy, then the winter transfer market is the only opportunity for him to improve the team or change everything. If Napoli can't improve on this opportunity, I feel that Napoli will end up not qualifying for the UEL or UCL.

[Die_empty]

This season's journey is still quite long so it is possible for any team to be able to rise and compete at the top, not just those 5 teams.

If Napoli fixes their problem they will be able to at least get a top-four spot in the Italian Seria A. Napoli has made some mistakes this season by choosing the wrong coaches. Walter Mazzarri has not given the club the much-needed boost but he still is favored by the top echelon of the club and still has some time to improve. I believe that the club needs to buy some players but their limited financial resources will be an impediment to getting new players.

For Napoli, i know Napoli have problems, but Salernitana is the last on serie A, for this reason i bet on Napoli win.

Napoli is an unstable club for now, so you cannot be certain that they will beat Salernitana. I began to lose confidence in Napoli when they lost at home to Frosinone Calcio in the Coppa Italia round of sixteen It became clear to me that Napoli would not in the same class like last season if they could lose to fifteenth-placed Frosinone.

This is a difficult situation for Napoli. The team will not easily return to the performance they had last season, but if the coach and management can take advantage of opportunities in the transfer market then there is a possibility they will develop further. So far Napoli have had problems in the defense line and also the attack line, of course the statistics for both are very different compared to last season where this season looks very down.

I'm not really sure what Walter Mazzarri can do in the rest of the season for Napoli, but he still has a chance to solve the problems his team is facing. This is never easy and it is possible that Napoli will not qualify for Europe next season considering the team's very unstable performance.

I did not expect Juventus to pull out this great performance in Serie A this season, because Juventus had a very bad performance last season in Serie A, they didn't qualify for the UEFA Champions League. But this season Juventus is challenging Inter Milan for the Serie A title and when the Champions League round of 16 starts, Juventus might enter the top of the Serie A table, because Inter Milan will have a busy schedule.

It is because of the fact that Juventus didn't perform well in the Italian Serie A last season and was also unable to qualify for the UEFA champions league competition this season that has made them as impressive as they've been this season. The Old Ladies of Turin are currently trying to make up for their shortcomings of last season by making sure they finish this season with a major trophy and I wouldn't be surprised if they achieve their aim of winning the Italian Serie A at the end of the season.

The only club in the league that's been more consistent than Juventus this season is Inter Milan but the league leaders are competing in Europe and that's why I expect some kind of fatigue to affect some of their players when the knockout stages of the UCL kicks off next month and if that should happen, Juventus might just take full advantage and overtake them in the league table

I agree with you, Juventus is known for winning the Serie A league trophy in the past years, and they will want to dominate the Serie A league once again. The way Juventus has performed this season, Juventus had shows that they want to win the Serie A trophy this season. There is a chance for Juventus to top Inter Milan at the top of the Serie A table because Inter Milan will rest some of their players when the Uefa Champions League round of 16 starts, and that will make Inter Milan not perform well against their opponents.

[bering]

I was interested about the match between Verona vs Empoli because we all know these teams are hard struggle to avoiding relegation zone and so far they had same records that from 19 matches both teams were collect 3 wins and Verona last winning was happened last month when they were successfully to beat Cagliari and this season Verona and Empoli has been met early at the beginning of season and at that time Verona can able to win with narrow score 1-0 at Empoli home ground

Empoli was sacked their previous manager because of poor records and under new manager Aurelio Andreazzoli Empoli performance was slightly better because since September Empoli can able to gets 3 wins under him and as a host Verona probably the favourite but they have to be carefull because sometimes Empoli can performing well and regarding the outcomes from this match although it's hard because the performance of Verona also far from stable but i think Verona will be able to beat Empoli especially just like i said above Verona have done it before

[Franctoshi]

The bet of week is:
* Napoli - Salernitana => Napoli

For Napoli, i know Napoli have problems, but Salernitana is the last on serie A, for this reason i bet on Napoli win.

Nice prediction judging from their performances and current  positions in the league table, but things don't usually go that way, I will only pick three clubs out of those six matches prediction by the op,
Juventus - Sassuolo Juventus
Lazio - Lecce Lazio
Atalanta BC - Frosinone  Atalanta

I will avoid inter's game because they're on the pressure to continue wining and maintain lead in the league table and may play draw.

I agree with you, Juventus is known for winning the Serie A league trophy in the past years, and they will want to dominate the Serie A league once again. The way Juventus has performed this season, Juventus had shows that they want to win the Serie A trophy this season. There is a chance for Juventus to top Inter Milan at the top of the Serie A table because Inter Milan will rest some of their players when the Uefa Champions League round of 16 starts, and that will make Inter Milan not perform well against their opponents.

Juventus dominance in the serie A ended few seasons back and they have every since been trying to regain that form but then it's been almost not possible until this season they beginning to show some good performance at some point, the defending champions happens to be in a poor form at this moment and so it's an opportunity for Juventus.

Inter Milan is another challenge that Juventus may really have to overcome if they must be able to reclaim back the league dominance and win the title once again this season, its over two seasons or more since Juventus last won the serie A and they can change the narrative this season if they get back a solo form and be able to get ahead of inter Milan before the end of the season. Juventus has got only the serie A this season so they have enough focus on it and they have greater potential with the title if the put in the needed effort.

[bitgolden]

Juventus actually managed to get a place in the conference league because at the end of the season they managed to improve their position and were ranked seventh in the standings but once again they were sanctioned so their position was replaced by Fiorentina and Juventus accepted that well, perhaps because they felt it was more important this season to get the Serie A champions title are also playing in a conference league which can divide their focus, and hopefully this season they will be completely free from issues like last season which really ruined all their efforts.
If Juventus fails to overtake Inter Milan by the end of the season, they can still be happy because they can return to playing in the Champions League and see quite good progress in their team, although it is not very impressive there is hope that Juventus will return to being a better team next season and become a strong challenger again in Serie A and in European competitions.

Juventus has nothing more important than Serie A this season at all, it's their number one priority and they will play all for that title, nothing else matters. I do agree that when you have something like that, it's clear that we are going to end up with a lot better achievement, or at least the focus would be getting that kind of achievement, and it matters.

I do agree that it is going to be a bit harder to handle, but as long as it stays and looks alright, I feel like it will be fine. I know that Juventus may still end up losing the league, Inter could still end up the winners, there is no guarantee that Juventus focusing more to the league equals to a title, but at least it's a good advantage that they will try to use.

[Blitzboy]

Napoli is in the 9th place now, but the point gap with Fiorentina in the 4th place looks not very large. Actually, Napoli still has the chance to finish in UCL zone if they can play better in the second half of the season. However, Napoli is in the very bad form, it is hard to expect them to play consistently. Unless Napoli could change their tactics or sign new players to improve their performance, Napoli looks like to finish this season out of the top 5 of Serie A standings.

The fact that there are only 5 points to Fiorentina (fourth place) does not mean anything at all. In such situations, you need to take into account the number of teams that are in front of you. For example, if there was only one point to fourth place, but there were 100 teams ahead of Napoli, then Napoli’s chances of overtaking them all would be practically zero. Now there are as many as five teams ahead of Napoli and this is a large enough number that, despite the formally small gap, we can assume that Napoli’s chances are very low. Maybe a change of coach will give some kind of shake-up to the team, but at the moment it is not very clear how Napoli can seriously strengthen.

I don't think it's impossible for Napoli to qualify for the Champions League yet. Because there is still a long journey ahead. Each team will still play 19 more matches. So the scenario is likely to change. But for that, Napoli need to play well and win consistently. Napoli team is 5 points behind Fiorentina in the fourth place in the table. Napoli are also now ninth in the points table. There is still a chance to finish fourth in the table with consistent good performances and wins. But as Napoli are currently performing poorly, the chances of Napoli winning every match in a row is very low.

feel for Napoli, I really do. A promising team struggling is hard to watch. Their 19 games left and ninth place position make for a tough road ahead. They need to win consistently, which is difficult given their form. I hope they can turn it around, but they need to modify their game approach.

Their coach is unsure how to increase performance. Watching them lose contests they could have won hurts. If they cant adapt and overcome their obstacles, finishing fourth and qualifying for the Champions League will remain a dream. They have talent but lack leadership and plan to maximize it.

It seems, if Napoli keep Mazzarri until the end of the season then ya, there seems to be no good chance for Napoli to be able to improve its position in the Serie A standings. Although indeed, in the past Mazzarri had a good history in becoming head coach for Napoli. But ya, of course the past and in this era at least have different match tensions and of course different styles of play too. So yes, it doesn't seem right if Napoli expect a lot with Mazzarri to repeat his success like in the past. Because anyway, Mazzarri is also not used to handling other elite teams out there, so basically Napoli still needs the right coach to restore Napoli quality and performance.

I feel for Napoli each time that I see them struggle to win a match and they end up losing the match. The defending champions are now vulnerable to small clubs.

Inter Milan, Juventus and Milan have the opportunity to finish in the top four at the end of the season, regardless of who wins the Scudetto, these three clubs will automatically appear in the Champions League next season. There is one ticket left to be competed for by several teams including Napoli, with their current performance I have a little doubt they can achieve it. As you said, other clubs are also trying their best to secure these tickets, Fiorentina, who are currently in fourth place, will not waste the available opportunities.

It is believed that competition for fourth place will get tighter as the season progresses, as will the race for the Scudetto. Every team still has the opportunity to improve and improve their performance, there are still 19 opportunities to make everything possible. However, in the current competition, Napoli strength is no longer taken into account, because it is very easy to lose points.

It's true that the factor in changing Napoli's game lies in the coach, so changing coaches makes it difficult for them to adapt and be consistent, that's why Napoli really failed this season in contrast to last season where they played very consistently, but here I also don't blame the coach, it's just necessary. It's time to make the club even greater, therefore you need the right coach to train a big club, especially since they just won the title last season.

I'm not sure that Napoli will catch up to be in the top four this season, especially since yesterday's defeat against Torino was certainly a fairly worrying defeat with a landslide score of 3 goals without reply, Napoli must be able to accept it with grace, Napoli is aware of the result What is worrying is that in the domestic league and also in the UCL, they will meet opponents who are also difficult to face against Barcelona. Napoli must really be able to recover from their downturn if they want to improve because there is still a chance for them until the end of the season.

But in this case it actually becomes a problem again if in the end Mazzari is again deposed from the coaching chair but does not find a worthy replacement which could actually make Napoli experience further setbacks due to the lack of chemistry between players and coaches where the new coach appears immediately replaced again and again.

This becomes a real dilemma when Napoli's situation continues to deteriorate over time and this reminds me of Chelsea even though the situation is a little different because Chelsea is more about reshuffling players but the conditions are the same where the chemistry cannot be established properly.
Now we can say that Mazzari must go but on the other hand is there still a guarantee (actually the same question as when Rudi Garcia left) because what is needed now is a good performance so when another change of coach is made by them there must be at least a guarantee that the situation improves but if in the end everything is the same then it is only apart from making things worse, this will also waste the budget.

He has not been in charge of Napoli for 2 months yet. We seem to be acting a little hastily. Mazzarri is a coach with significant experience. Both his age and experience are enough for Napoli. I think the problem is not with Mazzarri, but with unrest within the team. Players cannot concentrate. They can't focus on the game like last year.
