Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Swordsoffreedom]

There's only one game in Serie A today. Cagliari will play Torino at home. Cagliari are in the relegation zone. But in the last few weeks they have gotten good results compared to their performance at the beginning of the league. They are not a good team. But their performance has gone from bad to good. Torino are a mid-table team. They have only lost to Fiorentina in their last 7 league games. They have a resilient identity. I think this will be a classic Serie A match. I think both teams will play to avoid losing. I think there will be less than 3 goals in this match.

Both Cagliari and Torino look weak to me. And of the last 3 matches between these two teams, two matches have been drawn and one won by Cagliari. However, even though today's match is Cagliari's home match, it is not certain whether they will win. Both teams have chances to win. But the match is most likely to be a draw. Because the attacking player's performance of both these teams is very weak. Torino's players have scored only 18 goals in 20 matches and Cagliari's players have scored only 11 goals in 21 matches. If Torino can score first in today's match then I think they will win. But the match is more likely to be a goalless draw.

Although Torino played away but yes, the reality is that Torino is still quite a favorite to win in this match even though ya, not entirely promising either . Because after all, in their first match or first meeting this season also the fact that at that time Torino failed to win even though at that time Torino also played at home because yes, in the first match or their first meeting this season the final result was a 0-0 draw. So ya,it seems very feasible or maybe also a pretty good choice to bet with an option of at least under 2 goals because after all, Torino and Cagliari are not productive enough this season.

Napoli has performed poorly in the last 5 matches. I think everyone agrees that Napoli had no chance of winning that game. Lazio are doing very well in the league and they have won their last four games in the league. They are in a positive trend and they also appeared as hosts in that match. I don't see any chance of Napoli winning that game unless a miracle somehow happens.

The opportunity to win will always be there, if you look at the past, maybe Napoli is not too focused on the local league, maybe they are focused on the Italian super cup which Napoli is after, but the Italian super cup has now been won by Inter Milan.

Maybe now Napoli has to improve a little to improve its standings this week. Before the Champions League match starts. Of course, Lazio will not waste this opportunity because they are playing in front of their own supporters. If I see that both teams have quite good abilities in various lines, maybe I predict the match will end in a draw.

Cagliari vs Torino the only game from Serie A today and this game on paper looks like a solid under 2.5 goals but if we take a closer look on how these two teams are doing lately , we can see that both of them are searching for points, especially Cagliari who is almost on relegation zone and same goes for Torino , a team who started so well but in the last month they really struggled to gather points on both home and away games.

This season, it seems only Inter Milan can compete with Juventus for Scudetto because AC Milan are still far away after focusing in Champions League and failed there.

AC Milan is in 3rd place not because they focused on playing in the UCL, but Pioli's strategy at that time was so easy for opposing players to anticipate. Currently Pioli is implementing a new strategy and giving a chance to Jovic. This has provided positive results for AC Milan in the last few matches. Currently, Pioli is starting to feel confident and will probably try to start competing for the Scudetto again. One thing that is homework for Pioli is how to break Inter Milan's dominance when playing in the Derby Della Madonnina.

I don't know if it's for this reason or for the simple reason of the impact of the quality of the players
if you look at the value of the team, Milan should be either first or second, if the quality of the players has a weight, I think this is precisely the weight
despite a coach who isn't among the best, they still win

I think the reason AC Milan is not or has not yet competed with Juventus and Inter Milan in the race for first place in the current standings is because of the problem of consistency which they have often been unable to maintain since the start of the season, AC Milan has lost a lot of points against weak teams (bottom of the actual standings or previously they were very favorites to win, that was AC MIlan's weakness this season.
If we look at strength, I think AC Milan is much better than last season, but now the season is still quite long and there are still many possibilities for AC MIlan to continue the winning trend they are currently getting to be able to enter the competition between Juventus and Inter Milan. .

Inter Milan was in the good form even in the last season when they were in the final match of the Champions League and they are good performance in Serie A however in some games they were unstable and lost some points but this team is currently the first hipe for winning the Serie A title. On the other hand, Juventus is trying to have better results after the drama they had in the last season and Serie A is the only hope for them. But AC Milan was not performing well in this season, especially in the first weeks and that's why they are not close to top of the Serie A table.

crazy, so Lazio are favorites in the match against Napoli, oh my
this says a lot, if even the bookmakers have started to make these considerations, which some (not me) had already done, it means that it is a real official crisis for Napoli
cup zone going far far ..

Yes, it looks crazy, but if you look at the statistics in the last five matches of the two teams, it is clear that Lazio is in better condition with four wins in a row compared to Napoli with only two wins, and it looks like this will end in a draw because apart from the statistics of the two teams, their strength is almost the same. For the cup, it is clear that Napoli have missed this opportunity since they changed coaches because it shows the problems the team is facing and failing to defend the title is quite common for teams that only occasionally win.

I also think Napoli has no chance of winning with Lazio in super form as they are now, sad but true
Among other things you can see Lazio more fluid play while Napoli is still looking for its balance (and isnt finding it at moment)
agree  with you in the end

If not for the last game lost against Inter Milan Sarri and his lads are not doing bad for them to have won the last five game they've played.
They're no match against Inter Milan this exact season though, so there was no way one would think of them defeating and defending that Inter Milan's formation which permits them to defend and attack you offensively.

Napoli are lost! Go see the points gap between them and Inter Milan, that's exactly 20 points difference between themselves. Club president hinting they could possibly lose Victor Oshime next season and that's something I've always predicted.

Not an interesting match but we will see both teams trying to collect points as you said their target will be in a safe zone and stay away from degradation, I checked that Sportsbook slightly favored Torino but I personally not interested in this option because in my opinion Cagliari will not lose I think the worst thing that can occur in cagliari is a draw and so far Cagliari has a good record when playing at home at least in the last 4 matches Cagliari hasn't lost at home. Unless there are unexpected things like red cards and others, maybe the scenario will be different.

Cagliari is only one point adrift above degradation zone this means that one point is very meaningful to Cagliari or if Cagliari win then they will jump to 15th position. On the other hand Torino plays without motivation I mean winning/losing does not have any impact on Torino position they will remain in the middle of the standings.

Only a miracle will make Napoli win this match? Is football now all about miracle itself? Sometimes you’ll be in top form and will expect to win against a team and all of a sudden, the game will turn against you and you’ll lose the match against the team you were confident you can win and earn three points. Napoli performance have been so bad that we can’t speak of them been a good team this season. But as football has it, anything can happen at anytime and the performance of the team can improve at anytime and they can take everyone by surprise and prevail in that match ahead of Lazio. After checking the recent record of both teams, no one will go for Napoli winning the game against Lazio, but because football is uncertain and the unexpected could happen, I will still give some hope to Napoli to also have a chance of winning the match or at the very least go for a draw.

Napoli is one of the big clubs in Seria A but they're facing struggles and this is probably no good news for the team. Napoli president, Aurelio De Laurentiis have doubts of not becoming a competent president just in the case of Florentino Pérez who's outstanding and keep his team level up and running. There's no records of Real Madrid climbing below 5th position in their league but what's happening to Napoli is even consider worse, they're out of the way and they will continue to suffer without any concrete changes in their formation.

Napoli's current crisis is such that they will definitely get out of it soonest they haven't been doing too bad recently, they were not in a really good shape as at last year but then this year they have been trying to show some improvement in their performance and I'm very optimistic that their key player returning from the AFCON soon will also help boost their performance aswell.

The case  of Madrid actually wasn't this bad and currently Napoli will not be able to defend their title, it's obvious that osimhen is very key and important to how much they will be able to achieve in a season, Napoli will not be needing much of a formation change butthe return of their key player may be all they will need to stay in a good position on their league table, all hope isn't lost fkr for them as they can still make it to the top four if they improve after now.

I think both teams will play to avoid losing. I think there will be less than 3 goals in this match.

Torino started this match quite well, even now, Cagliari vs Torino is still leading Torino with 0 - 1. Zapala contributed 1 goal in the 23rd minute. In fact, Cagliari also had a fairly equal opportunity to score a goal with Torino. But it's a shame they let him go. However, if you look at their performance readiness, Torino is so far better prepared than Cagliari. Anyway, if Cagliari loses, then their chances of entering the relegation zone will increase. This is a decisive match for them but it is quite difficult to win.

[QueenVera]

This match is an equally important match for both of them so they will try their best to win. Juventus will wait for the results of Inter Milan's match in week 21 and Juventus is really looking forward to Inter Milan's defeat in this match because Juventus is in an unsafe position because Inter Milan can take over that position if they win the match or draw, but I think Inter Milan can definitely win it otherwise it's possible that the match will be a draw as you said because Inter Milan is playing away so it's quite tough.

Yes, Fiorentina gets a big advantage because they play at home, but Inter Milan also plays quite well even though they are playing away, so Inter Milan still has a chance to win if Fiorentina is careless and doesn't succeed in taking advantage of their home opportunities. The competition between Juventus and Inter is still quite interesting because of the difference both are still too small so both clubs still have a chance to fight for the league title.

The season hasn't been quite adventurous for Juventus as they've been indicted to not taking part in the Europa League. They've been focusing their strength on the domestic Serie A league and they've been doing excellently well in it. They've even got a greater chance of being far ahead in the standings than the likes of Inter Milan because for others, after the league games, they'd still have to play the continental tournament and this will definitely affect players' physical capabilities too.

 Although inasmuch as a weighty gap is expected of them, Inter Milan has made it difficult because they've also been in their best form. The team are using this season to put in more work to ensure a spot in next season's European cup tournament and they definitely would earn it.

 They've got good set of players, right squad combination and their coach is doing his best part and giving them the right tactical approach. I don't know if they've got choice of changes to make during the mid season transfer window but at this state now, Juventus are good to go to some extent only if extra energy wants to be pumped into the squad to increase their efficiency too.

Lazio @2.25 and Napoli @3.30, even though Lazio is the favorite, but considering odds like that, of course Lazio is also not fully projected to win. Because yes, with odds like that, it is also possible for this match to end in a draw. After all, currently Lazio position in the Serie A standings is actually better than Napoli, and currently they have a gap of only 2 points. Therefore, even though Lazio is the favorite based on the odds but yes, it will still not be easy for Lazio to beat Napoli in this match. But indeed, at least even without considering the available odds, I am also more confident that Lazio deserves a chance to win this match.

Napoli had a huge fall, they went from the title winners to now looking ninth I believe? I mean it looks like we are talking about a huge deal here, that type of fall is not that easy, you have to be specially terrible to have that kind of situation.

All in all, I believe that the best thing to do right now would be just making sure that Napoli has abetter future set, maybe try to get that manager back so that they would be properly coached again. This is why Lazio winning could make sense, but Napoli doesn't have a terrible squad neither, not that they did alright this season, but that is not mainly because they couldn't, it was mainly because they wouldn't, if they really want to win, they may end up getting a win, so this is a bet to be careful about.

Osimhen or not, Napoli has a long way to go in the La Liga. They may have to need more goals and more added points to at least measure up to the first seven on the table, but if no other teams on top loose or draw thier coming matches then with Osimhen scoring more goals than he has done in the AFCON, am sure Napoli will move some places up.

For Napoli this season is not about winning the Serie A title anymore. They have realized by now that there are two teams that are out of reach for them. Juventus and Inter are not stoppable this season, at least not for Napoli.

But considering the other teams fighting for the Champions League qualification, Napoli is only three points away from the 4th position in the table. It looks really bad, but this is still absolutely possible for them. There will be a lot of interesting games for the 1st position in the table and then there is AC Milan, but after them there are so many teams that have a chance to claim 4th position.

Napoli can get started right away if they beat Lazio, but they are in good form with four consecutive wins.

I don't know if they've got choice of changes to make during the mid season transfer window but at this state now, Juventus are good to go to some extent only if extra energy wants to be pumped into the squad to increase their efficiency too.

Now Juventus has shown signs of taking control of the top of the standings from Inter, even though we know that Inter still has one postponed match that has not been played. Being absent from European competitions is actually very detrimental, because the club income will drop drastically and will make it difficult for them to move in the next transfer window. If they can't win the Scudetto then that will be a new problem, because they really need bonuses to be able to build a squad and compete again in European competition next season.

On the other hand, we also see that Inter has not shown any signs of decline, even though they have more matches scheduled than Juventus. However, it is not impossible that the competition that has been created between Inter and Juventus will be revived by Milan, because there are still many matches remaining in the second half of the season, there is no certainty that Inter and Juventus will continue to get full points in every match to come.

Statistically I see Inter as slightly better than Juventus, they have a sharp striker like Martinez and better squad depth. Juventus doesn't seem to be making any moves in the January transfer window, previously I predicted they would look for a new midfielder after losing Pogba due to a doping case.

I am sure you are referring to Seria A, not Laliga.  

Napoli was on good form last season; they used their chance well, as their form resulted in them winning the Italian Seria A for the first time in almost three decades. This season is not good for Napoli because they have relaxed and failed to sign more players that will support the team. That is why they are struggling to win matches as many teams already know their tactics and tactics, which also affect their players, while so many teams are also willing to sign Osimhen from them.

The odds are already all against Napoli in this match and this can be evident to their performance this season which has been very poor. I do forget that this was the team that win the Scudetto last season and they are now no anywhere close to the league title and not also currently in the top four of the standings. This match is quite still unpredictable and won’t chose one team ahead of the other to be the winner in this game. It is a game of luck and also a game of strategies, only the team that employ the best method against their opponent will make it in this game.

I can't remember seeing osimhen nor Napoli playing in the Spanish La Liga probably the serie A is exactly where you may be making your reference to. Napoli cannot deny the fact that the presence of osimhen is very crucial and important to how well they are going to perform for the rest of the season so you saying "osimhen or not " has got some sentiments .

I'm the a very long time Napoli never taught for once to cling to the serie A title but it was made very possible by osimhen, whith home they are definitely going beyond their current position and will be sure to end the season above the tenth position and this isn't a thing to argue over, they goals you Made mention that they need can be easily achieved if he's present because he's got the creativity that will help them get as much goals as possible that will help them regain their image, even if they are unable to win the trophy they will at least not far below top five.

I agree that it is not easy to predict this match but Lazio as the host can take advantage which means Lazio has a better chance than Napoli. Besides Napoli may play without Osimhen which means their goal activity also decreases and maybe this is the reason for the gambling market to provide more odds for Lazio. Do you pay attention to how Lazio played in the last 5 matches? Lazio won 4 of their last 5 matches and I am sure this will have an impact on the confidence of the players.

The chances of Napoli winning in the game is very slim especially now that their key striker is not available due to the African Cup of nation that he's participating with his country Nigerian and looking out the performance of Napoli since this season I think there is high higher chances of Lazio getting the win and since they are playing at home, it will make it a but easier for Lazio to win the game since they will be playing in front of their fans.
