Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[tiCeR]

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.

Napoli's point distance is too far from first place, so Napoli prefers to play calmly and doesn't need to chase first place. They already won last season, so this season Napoli is giving other teams the opportunity to become champions in the Serie A League. Juventus and Inter are competing closely, and it looks like they are using all their strength to achieve victory, get additional points, and become champions in the league this season.

As if that is how teams go about their goals. A team that won the title last season will then say "who cares, we won last season, why should we try to win it again"... Yes, sure...

That is why Manchester City says they don't want to win the Champions League again because they won it last season already? Of course they did not say that, but it surprises me that you think this is how professional football or any sport for that matter works. The teams start to win the title and the teams start to defend the titles they won last season. As soon as a team would say that the goal isn't the title because they won it last season, it would disqualify them from the category of being a truly competitive and professional football team.

Napoli just realizes that at this point they won't have a chance, but that doesn't mean they are thinking for a second the way you just said they would think.

Juventus started with pressure, but they had to retreat a little more defensively after Milik received a red card after a dangerous move in the 17th minute. The match seemed clear in the first half, and Empoli had a few weak attacks. There was no clear scoring opportunity for either team. I hope the second half will be better. If Juve loses points in this match, Inter and Milan will be even more hungry. Losing points against Empoli in the bottom of the league would be an unforeseen loss for Juve. If Miretti had been able to score that goal at the end of the first half, Allegri would have spoken a little more comfortably, but for now things are not going well for Juve.

Juventus are in league table competition with Inter Milan. Yes, in the 18th minute, Milik got a red card and Juventus became a team of 10. Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri took the first half of the match to reorganize the formation of the match. When the game of the second half started, after 50th minute, Vlahovic scored a goal for Juventus. I thought Juventus would win the game but Empoli equalized with a Baldanzi goal in the 70th minute. Empoli are now very much on the attack, with 10 minutes left in the game, the game is heading for a draw but Juventus are in for a tough test.

Juventus has the opportunity to get further away from intermil if they win today match, but unfortunately throughout the match it seems that Juventus are having a very difficult time facing Empoli and even now Juventus have to play with 10 men after Millik got a red card in the first half, so far Empoli seems to be dominating match and to be honest I didn't think that Empoli could be a difficult opponent for Juventus today, I personally previously bet on Juventus winning considering Empoli's position which is currently in the relegation zone, but I don't know what happened for empoli who actually played quite impressively today this  at the time when Juventus really needs points, in the 85th minute  the score is still 1-1 and it looks like today will be an unlucky day for Juventus.

Atalanta won the match 2-0. They are now partially seated in the fourth position of the Seria A table before Fiorentina play their match against Inter Milan tomorrow, which is going to be a tough one because both Inter Milan and Fiorentina need three points in the match because Inter Milan will want to catch up to Juventus, while Fiorentina will struggle to get back to the top four position in the Seria A table.

Atlanta has done a great job and I must commend how they have gradually gone up the table with little to no attention and this added with some level of consistency , they will be able to secure a spot at the champions league by next season thats if they are able to still stay at the fourth position on the table till the end of the season.

Two goals was an affirmed victory and one which could not be seen as been lucky win for Atlanta. The oder of the table currently is just interesting currently, having Juventus at the top then followed by inter Milan after which is AC Milan before Atlanta standing at the fourth position which they got after today's game, Juventus will at the end of this game determine if they are making big the margin between them and inter Milan or they are closing in the gap. Udinese is just a point away from relegation.

[eightdots]

I think more about the Atalanta vs Udinese match for both teams scoring goals but 3 points for Atalanta.

Juventus vs Empoli match, the last meeting between the two seems to be 0-2 for Juventus. Maybe this match will happen again, not much different.

Milan vs Bologna match, this is indeed difficult to predict, if the result of the last meeting Milan is superior. but Bologna's current performance cannot be underestimated either. both teams will probably score.

Juventus is currently leading Empoli with 1-0, however Juventus performance on the first half was very good, they were able to dominate the match during the early time of the match and they did not give Empoli a breathing space, although I had a strong feeling that Juventus will surely win Empoli because even on there last meeting Juventus gave them 2-0 even when they were playing away so I had the believe that since Juventus was able to give them 2-0 on there last meeting while playing away there is every tendency that they Will surely give them more than what they score them on there last meeting.

However Juventus is quite lucky to have scored the first goal they did if not it would have not been easy for them considering the red card that was issued to them, however while I was I still typing Empoli has manage to utilize the opportunity and equalize the goal by making it 1-1, actually the red card have disorganized the strategy of Juventus on this match and now Empoli is becoming tougher against Juventus.

In the 18th minute Milik received a red card and Juventus played most of the match with 10 men. This made it difficult for them to play the way they wanted. I thought Juventus would win the match at home without any difficulty, but the football proved me wrong again.

Vlahovic scored the goal that put his team ahead and from then on Juventus had to do everything to avoid conceding a goal, but they failed. Empoli equalized in the 70th minute. Baldanzi scored a great goal. This put Juventus in an even more difficult situation.

Inter will take this opportunity and come back from Fiorentina with points. I think tomorrow's match will be a very enjoyable game with lots of goals.

[rendravolt]

The red card that Arkadiusz Milik received in the 18th minute changed the flow of Juventus' game and in the end the match ended in a draw with the score 1-1. Actually something like this was very unexpected and losing one player was clearly very detrimental to Juventus. Empoli took advantage of the player advantage by scoring first and after that Juventus' chances of winning were increasingly slim.

Luckily, in the second half, Juventus were still able to hold on to the draw through a goal scored by Vlahovic in the 50th minute and even though there was still a lot of time remaining, the result remained unchanged and at the same time Juventus failed to get 3 points at home. This is a very detrimental result, especially as Juventus has the opportunity to widen the distance from Inter and with the news of this draw, Inter is certainly very happy because their competitors failed to win. Inter has an advantage of 2 matches yet to be played and in general Inter is 4 points ahead of Juventus.

There have been many progress being made by fiorentina since the conference league final. It's not a reliable data to judge the performance from fiorentina. Fiorentina is still sitting at the top 4. that proves that if club has been performing quite well this season.
At very least there were some progress being made by the club since the last season. People were always doubting it while they forget that if fiorentina is slowly making progress.

Last season I remember the Serie A was literally over because no team was able to keep up with Napoli when they had a similar performance like Inter Milan has now. But this is how quickly things can change. Inter Milan is at the top while Napoli dropped by so much.

Napoli goes down to the ground now. The club has lost its winning mentality after spalleti has gone and that's the fate of napoli. The club must have accepted it. Napoli needs to find someone who can handle the club properly.
The club may still use mazzarri till the end of season but napoli needs also to make some preparations.

There was a lot of progress although the table can be misleading as they could drop several positions on a single matchday since all those teams are so close to each other. That is why Napoli looks extremely bad whereas Fiorentina looks so great, but again it could change in no time.

Now FC Turin made a big step forward due to their win and also went above the 30 points threshold. It's getting tougher and tougher in the competition for the international qualifier ranks.

What a game for Juventus Turin and it was a present served to Inter Milan. That red card for Milik destroyed their game, but I think Juventus should have still been able to win that game even when they are one man down. Empoli completely dominated the game afterwards...

A great chance for Inter Milan now to extend the lead.

I believe that this is the location where Juventus will miss out on the title this season. I had assumed that since Inter Milan is only a point ahead of them, if they play well, they will get a point to compete with Inter Milan. I was surprised that Juventus, who I know to be a very strong team capable of winning trophies, could end the game in a draw. Still, they gave it their best shot, and even though it ended in a draw, they managed to earn a point, which will be better than losing to Empoli. To be honest, if Juventus don't perform well the next time, Inter Milan will likely win three or maybe two titles this season.

Juventus was unlucky in that match because they were forced to play with 10 players from the 18th minute, but a draw was felt to be fairer than Juventus losing because playing with 10 players was not easy from the first half.

On the other hand, losing two points in this match is very painful for Juventus considering that they are now very close on points from rival Inter Milan, who are now in second place with two games yet to be played. Of course, this is an opportunity for Inter to overtake Juventus in first place. Not to mention that next week the two teams will meet each other, if Juventus gets another negative result then their chances of winning the Serie A title this season will be even tougher and more difficult.

Inter has an advantage of 2 matches yet to be played and in general Inter is 4 points ahead of Juventus.

Inter Milan still has two matches in store which will make the difference in points with Juventus later become 4, provided they can beat Fiorentina and Atalanta. Juventus is still in the race to challenge for the Scudetto even though in the latest match they were forced to draw with Empoli, Aleggri fleet was unlucky to secure full points because they received a red card. It is very difficult to win when you are outnumbered by players even though Empoli is just a mediocre club that is in the degradation zone.

I'm sure if Juventus doesn't lose any of their players they can beat Empoli, but sometimes luck doesn't always side with the dominant force, and of course the red card that Arkadiusz Milik received was unexpected. Inter will face Fiorentina, a match which in my opinion is quite troublesome for Inzaghi fleet. Juventus hopes that Fiorentina can hold Inter to a draw tomorrow, that is one hope so that the point difference does not become wide.

Actually Juventus will get three points today against Empoli but losses one players on the early minutes after Arkadiusz Milik receiving red card on 18th minutes make difficult for controlling the game behind opponent team lead one player left. Hold draw by Empoli 1-1 its not good result for Juventus behind Inter Milan position gap two points left with two matches more potential returning back to the top position standings.
Inter Milan will face Fiorentina next match and Juventus hope any miracle with Fiorentina can stop three points achieving by Inter, have two matches more than Juventus make Inter Milan have confidence return back to first standings exactly won Supecoppa last several days make Inter large opportunity with three points and back first position after managing by Juventus more than one week.

Juventus are in league table competition with Inter Milan. Yes, in the 18th minute, Milik got a red card and Juventus became a team of 10. Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri took the first half of the match to reorganize the formation of the match. When the game of the second half started, after 50th minute, Vlahovic scored a goal for Juventus. I thought Juventus would win the game but Empoli equalized with a Baldanzi goal in the 70th minute. Empoli are now very much on the attack, with 10 minutes left in the game, the game is heading for a draw but Juventus are in for a tough test.

Apart from Juventus who will face more tests and pressure in competing with Inter Milan, in today's home match Juventus actually made a mistake through their players in the 18th minute. Because the number of players has been reduced by one, it certainly makes it difficult for Juventus even though they are the home team today, because in the second half Empoli really made so many attacks that they were able to equalize. This was certainly a bit detrimental for Juventus because Juventus should have been able to get full points in that match, but in the end they ended up sharing the points with Empoli.

[coinlocket$]

Only 1-1 for Juventus.

They got a read card after 17 minutes for a doubtful fault, it can be red or not in previous circumstances it was not a red car.

To be honest, if Juventus don't perform well the next time, Inter Milan will likely win three or maybe two titles this season.

The red card could have been a factor that has affected the results the got in this game because the last goal which was scored by their opponent was scored at the later part of the second half after Juventus got a red card which is an obviously clear indication that the red card was a facilitating factor to their ability to securing a goal which turned out the equalizer they got in that game

Now Juventus stands at the top of the table with little to almost no balance because they are just about two points away from their biggest contender at the second position on the table, just like it happened in the bundesliga tonight where Leverkusen ahs also failed to keep the space wide enough between them and their second spot contender ,I'm very optimistic Juventus will try to maintain a good point to staying at the top of the table so that they will have the opportunity to become the winners of the trophy this season as it's the only trophy they are contending for this season.

[mammusu]

Juventus is currently leading Empoli with 1-0, however Juventus performance on the first half was very good, they were able to dominate the match during the early time of the match and they did not give Empoli a breathing space, although I had a strong feeling that Juventus will surely win Empoli because even on there last meeting Juventus gave them 2-0 even when they were playing away so I had the believe that since Juventus was able to give them 2-0 on there last meeting while playing away there is every tendency that they Will surely give them more than what they score them on there last meeting.

Juventus had great difficulty maintaining the balance of their game after one of their players was sent off in today's match. Indeed, many people predict that Juventus will win easily because their opponents are teams in the relegation zone. But in reality, in this match, Empoli was able to play quite well by successfully scoring a goal and thwarting Juventus mission to get 3 points in this match.

But unfortunately for Juventus they were not able to secure 3 points in this match because Juventus had to play defensively in the second half from the pressure exerted by Empoli.
Empoli able to avoid defeat after Balzandi scored a goal to equalize. So in this case of course if you look at the depth of the Juventus team it is stronger but when playing with 10 players it will be quite impossible for them to play aggressively in attack. Luckily Juventus didn't lose in this match and one point is quite meaningful for them.

[Oluwa-btc]

Atalanta - Udinese = that type of game where both teams should score and it might end up with a draw.

Juventus - Empoli = tricky game here because Empoli tends to score against Juve almost every game they meet.

Ac.Milan - Bologna = can't really read the outcome of this game but I won't be surprised to see Bologna taking 1 point today. 

Atalanta are big boys, they've faced great challenges but have gradually found them way back up for they have seen winning in tue last few games they have played.
It was a good win today at home, as expected but not too many goals scored like they did during that home game they played.

Fear not, Juventus are currently at the top and at home, they will give us a good show definitely today Empoli might have that scoring form before but lets see if they can do same against the best defending club in Seria A.

Ac Milan Bologna should be a draw game for me, I hope they deliver lol.

Atalanta victory with a score of 2-0 against Udinese in this match remained a good result with a good and big score too. Because after all, a winning with clean sheets like that is certainly still a good result and moreover, if we consider the head to head results that exist against Udinese in the previous few matches then at least Atalanta managed to beat Udinese and not just end up with a draw like few matches before. But ya, about Juventus and Milan match, I personally believe that Juventus and Milan still have a good chance to win in this match, because at this moment they are still in a good trend, especially about Juventus.

Not what I expected from the game entirely, it was either a win or a win for Juventus but the red card didn't make them approach the game very well. It's good they didn't lose the game now they have reduced the forces used in attacking the league strongest and attacking side Inter Milan. They failed to win but Dusan Vlahovic increased his goal tally above Oliver Giroud in his game today as he is currently the second highest goals scored player in Seria A Competition.

The last minute draw made me smile because I made the Prediction. I love games like this, you make a good decision about it and it comes to play same way you saw it high in your head.

[Lillominato89]

Juventus and Milan finished their respective games in a tie, there were two matches on the very easy paper and had to put pressure on Inter which currently has 2 less games. I hope in an Inter victory against Fiorentina even if it will be very difficult.

[bitpotter]

Milan were also held to a 2-2 draw by Bologna and a last-minute mistake ruined Milan's win at home. Bologna won a penalty in the added minute of time and they managed to convert it into an equalizer. Milan has lost full points and must be willing to share one point with Bologna. I think Milan's defense must be improved again because when they are ahead it will also be a big responsibility to protect it.

[MinoRaiola]

Many bet on Juventus and I bet there on Juventus winning even though it was only a narrow win, it doesn't matter in my opinion what is important is that they managed to get the full three points today because a one point difference with Inter Milan will not make Juventus comfortable at the top of the current standings, they have to can maintain that until the end of the season and win the Italian Serie A title this season as expected by all his supporters, Allegri must be able to pressure his team to play optimally in today's match.

They didnt win the game, which is a big surprise. They have won 7 games in a row and the 8 today should have been the easiest, but no, a draw. Maybe they played too defensive from minute 18, they lost one striker with this red card. Vlahovic scored his goal, but in the end Empoli had more chances to win, they shot 16 times at Juventus goal. Inter Milan play vs Florence tomorrow and if they win, they will be first in Serie A again. Juventus didnt get very important points today.

[coinlocket$]

Also, Milan drew their game.

If Inter wins the next 2 games with Fiorentina and Juventus the Serie A will be over.
