Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Leviathan.007]

1st game, 1st win for De Rossi and now Mou has been already forgotten.

Mou may go to Napoli next year.

We cannot judge De Rossi by his first match because most coaches are doing well in their first match.
I don't know why Roma sacked Mourinho because I feel that he tried for them last season by winning the UEFA Conference League for them, and he has improved after their poor start of the season; nevertheless, the management knows exactly what they want, and I hope this new manager perform well to the management's satisfaction.
I don't think Napoli will change any manager soon because it's not been long since they changed manager if they decide to sack the new manager. it may affect the team's performance.

You made good points and that's completely right because we can't say anything about De Rossi and Roma yet because he is new to Roma and he couldn't even have any effect on this team since he joined there but he started the first game with a win and let's say De Rossi was lucky enough to have good start in Roma but Hellas Verona is not a hard and strong team and maybe Roma with Mourinho could even score more goals and have better performance in this match.

[Richbased]

I was really impressed by Roma's performance this evening and they were very much deserving of their victory although they had more possession and they were playing from home having the home advantage, they did dominated the game and hence got three points from the game which was very deserving.

I think the new coach at Roma is already having a good start enough to give the fans and the management some good confidence in him as regards what he will be able to do before the season ends.

Roma winning Hellas Verona was a welcome achievement for Danielle De Rossi who just took over the managerial role for AS Roma and with the fact that he developed most of his career and talent at the club will make him to give in his best in other to achieve positive results with the club and considering the fact that lots of people were doubting his competency when he was appointed as Manager for AS Roma after Jose Mourinho was sacked by the club's management but with this impression that Danielle De Rossi has created, possibly he can do well for the club as their new manager.

At least this Roma victory can give an answer to the management's decision to fire Mourinho, until now many Roma fans are angry at Morinho's fired. They considered Roma's failure because the owner cannot bring the players desired by Mourinho but this victory should be able to answer their doubts, as you said Roma's opponent today is a weak team so it's normal to win but let's wait when Roma against Inter Milan on 11 February, if Roma can win then the previous problem was in Mourinho.

Anyone watching the match between Udinese v AC Milan? Milan managed to make a comeback after Udinese led 2-1 Milan managed to score 2 goals until the current score is 2-3 as we expected Milan don't want to lose points and want to secure their position in the standings.

Even if Roma played against Verona, still coached by Mourinho, I think the result would still be the same, namely Roma would definitely win. Because after all, Verona is just an inconsistent team this season. In fact, they have experienced 12 defeats from 21 matches. So there is nothing to be proud of from this victory. In fact, I feel that Roma is weak in their back line in this match. Look at how Verona put a lot of pressure on Roma's defense when they counterattacked.

But so far I also feel that Roma's new coach can still be relied on well. It's just that he will definitely need some adjustments in the team. So we shouldn't expect too much in a short time.

For the Milan vs Udinese match, I thought it was quite a dramatic match because I thought the match would probably end with a share of points. Fortunately, Milan did well and achieved full points dramatically.

[Polkeins]

Very important win for As.Roma today as they were looking for a victory for quite some time and if I'm not mistaken , this is their first victory on 2024. Also , with this victory the team will most likely get a morale boost ( + DeRossi being a badass who won't permit a lot of things to new players but also the youth ones ) so that's why I do think As.Roma will start a winning streak from here.

Of course, this victory is very important for As Roma, especially since this is De Rossi's first match as As Roma's new coach replacing Mourinho who was recently fired. Winning means a lot to increase the confidence of players and coaches. And I haven't seen De Rossi do anything against As Roma, even though they won this match, I think that's normal because Verona is also not a tough team. And fortunately Verona failed to take a penalty in this match, maybe if the penalty had been taken the result would have been different. But even so, this is a good start for De Rossi to raise As Roma's enthusiasm and slowly improve his position in the Serie A standings. Last night for De Rossi his first win.

At least this Roma victory can give an answer to the management's decision to fire Mourinho, until now many Roma fans are angry at Morinho's fired. They considered Roma's failure because the owner cannot bring the players desired by Mourinho but this victory should be able to answer their doubts, as you said Roma's opponent today is a weak team so it's normal to win but let's wait when Roma against Inter Milan on 11 February, if Roma can win then the previous problem was in Mourinho.

Anyone watching the match between Udinese v AC Milan? Milan managed to make a comeback after Udinese led 2-1 Milan managed to score 2 goals until the current score is 2-3 as we expected Milan don't want to lose points and want to secure their position in the standings.

Roma wouldn't have won if a Verona player had scored a penalty and then the score would have been tied. De Rossi was a good player, but as a coach he doesn't have much experience. I think Roma will finish the season lower in the standings than before Mourinho left.

Milan in their own style won in the last minutes, I must say that Milan unlike Roma are lucky that they have players who alone can decide the outcome of the match. Moreover, Milan have at least 4-5 such players - Menyan, Giroud, Rafael Leão, Hernandez, and Roma may have only Dybala and Lukaku, when he is in a good mood.

Roma winning Hellas Verona was a welcome achievement for Danielle De Rossi who just took over the managerial role for AS Roma and with the fact that he developed most of his career and talent at the club will make him to give in his best in other to achieve positive results with the club and considering the fact that lots of people were doubting his competency when he was appointed as Manager for AS Roma after Jose Mourinho was sacked by the club's management but with this impression that Danielle De Rossi has created, possibly he can do well for the club as their new manager.

I think it is a big deal that AS Roma won against Hellas Verona especially for Danielle De Rossi who is now the manager of the team. De Rossi has spent a lot of time playing for Roma and has gotten really good there. So he probably really wants to do well as the manager. Some people weren't sure if he could do a good job when he first became the manager after Jose Mourinho left. But this win shows that De Rossi might be really good at his new job. I think he can lead AS Roma to success.

The race is very hot and tight as from Fiorentina to Napoli, there are only 3 points in difference and Roma now are only 2 points less than Fiorentina. I feel happy for Daniele as he got a first winning with Roma but honestly I am very skeptical about his ability to bring Roma to a happy ending in this season.

People have many reasons to doubt about his ability as a coach after his failure in the last season in Serie B and with this situation of a very competitive race in Serie A. It's very big challenge for Daniele even he came back home and took this mission because I am sure he won't be able to refuse this call from Roma.

Daniele De Rossi can help Roma to win a match or some matches but he won't be able to help Roma to win a battle or title. It's different than Jose Mourinho who could help them to play in two final matches in UEFA Conference League and Europa League and won the Conference League.

It is anyway a good debut for De Rossi as a head coach of Roma. Welcome home, Daniele and congratulate him for a first winning as a Roma coach.

In the second half, AC Milan controlled the game with statistics far above Udinese. In the second half, Udinese took a 2-1 lead before Loka Jovic made the score 2-2. AC Milan increasingly dominated the game after Jovic's goal so that Okafor, who was played by Steano Pioli in the 68th minute to replace Reijnders, managed to make the Rossoneri win with a score of 2-3.

AC Milan's statistics in the second half improved from what they did in the first half. AC Milan's xG in the first half 0.68. In the second half it was 1.93
AC Milan's total shots in the first half were 4, in the second half AC Milan made the total shots 11.
2-3 was officially AC Milan's victory.

AC Milan won the game in Udine in the final minutes, to be exact minute 93. The game was paused, there were racist insults against Maignan...in italy this happens again and again. The result was as expected, AC Milan take the 3 points.

Tonight Lecce play vs Juventus Turin and if Juventus win, they can stay on first place in the league for a few days. Inter Milan have to play vs SSC Napoli in the Supercoppa tomorrow, it is the final. Their next game in Serie A is not until January 28.

Milan were really much better in the second half but I believe that third goal was an extra.    Because they had 2.06 xG in the whole game and the winning goal came in the stoppage time as well. But if you ask me what the fair result was for this game I would say Milan deserved to win anyway.    But if we didn't see improvement in the second half they might have even lost the game.

When Udinese got ahead I was really worried about Milan. Because you know Udinese are one of the worst teams this season. It would be disappointing to see Milan losing points in such game. Okafor and Jovic both entered the game in the second half and scored goals to change the fate of the game.

Who noticed El Sharraway? He was one of the best attacking players for them yesterday as he created a sweet chance out of that tight space he was yesterday for Romelu Lukaku to send into the back of the post as the goalkeeper was left helpless and difficult to save that effort from Lukaku.
Will Jose Mourinho ever be missed? If he'll be missed, then they have to win games consistently and comfortably for the rest of the season.

Former player of the club and still a fan he should know what the club wants best and also how to inculcate the old traditions of the club into youngins.

you're right, last night Stephan El Sharaawy was the best on the pitch providing two assists which led to goals from Romelu Lukaku and Lorenzo Pellegrini. In my opinion, Daniele De Rossi will struggle to make Jose Mourinho forget, let's not forget that Roma with Mourinho played in two European finals in 3 years, winning the conference league. Maybe we will see a good game from Roma but I doubt they can match what Mourinho did

[odunybiz]

Juventus will be meeting with Lecce today. I see this match as an easy win for Juventus. Juventus are undefeated in their last 15 league games and Lecce have recorded only a win in their last 15 matches within Serie A. I think Juventus should secure 3 points here.

We all know that De Rossi was a great player at AS Roma and after being assigned the role of the new manager of AS Roma, he would definitely want to do his best to be given applaud for a job well done. I love how he started his first game with a win, and that will give the management confidence that they’ve gotten a better replacement after Jose Mourinho was sacked. Only one match win cannot give an assurance that he is the best match for the job, and playing against a lower rated team in the Serie A like Hellas Verona is not enough to test the strength of the new coach and the team. I will await a more competitive match for them to prove how good the new manager is for the team.

Juventus will be meeting with Lecce today. I see this match as an easy win for Juventus. Juventus are undefeated in their last 15 league games and Lecce have recorded only a win in their last 15 matches within Serie A. I think Juventus should secure 3 points here.

This should be an easy match for Juventus and I don’t think it will be much trouble for them winning this match. They’ve been on a winning streak in their last 15 league games, so I don’t expect them to lose against Lecce who are of less quality in terms of play than them. Juventus are second of the league table and will want to keep up with that position, so it is a must for them to win this match in order that position.

I was really impressed by Roma's performance this evening and they were very much deserving of their victory although they had more possession and they were playing from home having the home advantage, they did dominated the game and hence got three points from the game which was very deserving.

I think the new coach at Roma is already having a good start enough to give the fans and the management some good confidence in him as regards what he will be able to do before the season ends.

Roma's excellent performance in the last match has excited the fans. There is no doubt now that they are a favourite at home. They have won 10 and drawn two of their last 12 matches at home that means  they are unbeaten at home. Roma and Verna met yesterday at the Stadio Olimpico. As they were playing at home ground Roma got massive support from the fans. Roma seem to have gained a lot of energy after the appointment of club legend Daniele De Rossi. It cannot be said that Verna didn't get an opportunity but they couldn't capitalize on that opportunity. After all I am very confident that Roma will also win the next match against Salirnitana by a big making a big diffidence because the team is not performing well and Roma is back in form.

In my view, Roma fans will forever remember what Mourinho brought to the team, something they had never experienced before Mourinho arrived, so there is no way for the fans to forget it. De Rossi has recorded a sweet victory in his managerial career, and it will also be recorded in the history books by their fans, but forgetting Mourinho services in one match would be wrong. Because the team that was defeated was not an elite team, we need to see what De Rossi can do when facing Inter, Juventus, Milan and other elite teams. There is indeed hope that Roma can perform well in the future, with his understanding of the club De Rossi can easily make things better.

Salernitana, Cagliari and Inter Milan are Roma next opponents, we will see whether De Rossi is able to be a better successor than Mourinho, and erase all doubts about him. I think that if at the end of the season De Rossi is able to bring Roma to a top four finish, then management should keep him for the next season, and see what he can offer the club. Apart from that, the Europa League play-off round is another reference for us to assess whether De Rossi has good managerial talent, so he can become a successful coach in the future. Now under the leadership of De Rossi, Roma plays a 4-3-2-1 formation, unlike usual when coached by Mourinho who liked to use a 3-5-2 formation, now Roma displays a more aggressive game by attacking.

On the other hand, what Mourinho inherited at Roma is no less important, I mean in the form of players like Lukaku. If De Rossi can fulfill this role well, they can appear in the Champions League in two ways, finishing in the top four of the Serie A standings or winning the Europa League trophy starting from the play-off round. Mourinho dismissal was very unfortunate, but club officials did not want to take too big a risk waiting for what Mourinho could offer at the end of the season.

Juventus, Inter and Milan are now occupying the top positions in the Italian league and in terms of points they are ahead of the other teams by a large margin.  So now there will be a fight between these 3 teams.  Inter plays very well, they are very different from other teams, because of which they are in the 1st position of the points table for a long time.  Now if Juventus get 3 points now they will be top.  Because they were only 2 points behind Inter, now they will be 1 point ahead of Inter.  This is very happy news for Juventus.

Allegri's troops will definitely be favorites in today's match. Even though Lecce is the host in this match, this will not affect Juventus. Because this season Juventus also often wins matches even though they are away games. And today is no exception, maybe it will be the same.

And recently Juventus has also started to become more productive in scoring goals. So maybe there will be more than 2 goals in today's match. And if Juventus manages to win today's match then they will temporarily move up to 1st place. Because Inter Milan will miss the match on matchday 21 for the time being due to Inter Milan's busy match schedule.

[piebeyb]

It is anyway a good debut for De Rossi as a head coach of Roma. Welcome home, Daniele and congratulate him for a first winning as a Roma coach.

Luckily for De Rossi in his debut match this time it wasn't too difficult especially against Verona at home, it's clear that As Roma are very favored in this match because of course it's not difficult for him to win the match, after winning against Verona they will face the next two matches against Salernitana and Cagliari are also not really difficult opponents for As Roma with their current strength. But his abilities will be tested when he faces Inter Milan in February.  

Juventus will be meeting with Lecce today. I see this match as an easy win for Juventus. Juventus are undefeated in their last 15 league games and Lecce have recorded only a win in their last 15 matches within Serie A. I think Juventus should secure 3 points here.

Playing as a guest, of course Juventus should not underestimate Lecce's strength, because Lecce could make it difficult for Juventus to get full points in their meeting today at Lecce's home ground, so I don't want to say that Juventus can beat Lecce easily, I will enjoy Juventus' match today , I hope they show their best game and don't underestimate their opponents too much and remain consistent in playing seriously to the maximum to win big so they don't just win and get full points.

Alegri will definitely maintain his consistency in winning with full points so he can continue to be below Inter Milan and wait for Inter Milan to make mistakes so he can overtake or overtake Inter Milan at the top of the standings and win the title this season. In essence, he must emphasize his team to maintain consistency on the winning track.

Juventus will be meeting with Lecce today. I see this match as an easy win for Juventus. Juventus are undefeated in their last 15 league games and Lecce have recorded only a win in their last 15 matches within Serie A. I think Juventus should secure 3 points here.

For sure Juventus needs to win Lecce in other for them to still keep their title hopes alive because Inter Milan doesn't play like they gonna lose match soon so the only thing Juventus can do is to continue to follow Inter Milan up and shouldn't give them any chances of long gapping because if Inter Milan gives Juventus a long gap now, they might really win the trophy on a platter of Gold so I believe Juventus it's going to win Lecce and moreover, Juventus squad is still very much active as their top scorer Dušan Vlahović would play the match today against Lecce so hopefully, goals would be expected from him.

Roma managed to win the match with 2 goals scored in the first half. They started the match very well and broke the game by scoring 2 goals in a short time, but they could not score any more goals. I expected them to score more goals, but the match ended 2-1. It was a good start for Roma and De Rossi.

[pusaka]

Very important win for As.Roma today as they were looking for a victory for quite some time and if I'm not mistaken , this is their first victory on 2024. Also , with this victory the team will most likely get a morale boost ( + DeRossi being a badass who won't permit a lot of things to new players but also the youth ones ) so that's why I do think As.Roma will start a winning streak from here.

I know AS Roma would win against Hellas Verona because every AS Roma player will want to impress their new head coach so that they will have playing time at AS Roma. The win against Hellas Verona has taken AS Roma back to their winning ways after they failed to win their last three matches in the league.

Their quality with the new coach has not really been tested because they are facing a team that is inferior to them on paper. But it was a good start for De Rossi as he won the match on his first trip with AS Roma. That could be a boost for the mtches they will have after this match.
De Rossi must be able to take advantage of the time he receives to make AS Roma even better, I realize that the time he has is really narrow, but it must be a stage for him that with a narrow time he can bring AS Roma even better than before.

Juventus will be meeting with Lecce today. I see this match as an easy win for Juventus. Juventus are undefeated in their last 15 league games and Lecce have recorded only a win in their last 15 matches within Serie A. I think Juventus should secure 3 points here.

Juventus, Inter and Milan are now occupying the top positions in the Italian league and in terms of points they are ahead of the other teams by a large margin.  So now there will be a fight between these 3 teams.  Inter plays very well, they are very different from other teams, because of which they are in the 1st position of the points table for a long time.  Now if Juventus get 3 points now they will be top.  Because they were only 2 points behind Inter, now they will be 1 point ahead of Inter.  This is very happy news for Juventus.

Juventus must be able to make the match bear fruit still sweet results, because seeing from the opponents they will face they are still very far ahead of everything. Lecce's only advantage in this match is that they will play as the host, that's all. Juventus also really need a victory to stay on track, if they win this match they have the opportunity to shift Inter Milan at the top of the standings, yes at least before Inter Milan play their match, because Inter Milan are scheduled to have a delayed schedule in this 21st week.
