Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[lixer]

To me, honestly, it seemed like a match that wasn't exactly dominated, and rather a little difficult
and Salernitana isn't a strong team (just look at their position in the standings, after all) so I don't know, I'm still a little skeptical towards the new coach, he certainly wants to win but that's not enough.

Roma did not dominate the match and Salernitana created more opportunities than Roma in the first half. Roma luckily got a penalty and Dybala converted it to a first goal for them. A second goal seems to help Roma to secure 3 points but they let Salernitana found one goal and after that they even faced with an equalizer from Salernitana.

Roma won but it is not an impressive and dominating match from Roma but 3 points are good for them to move forwards with positive sentiment and continue to race with some other clubs.

After end of the first half I was sure things are not favourable for the Roma because they were having good ball possession, but mostly we have attacking tactics from the Salernitana which were doing good aggressive game but as we entered into second half we have penalty which allows Roma to have lead and things gone into their favour after having lead they started better and doubled their lead just after 15 minutes which confirm their win into this match because after 70 minutes they were leading by 0–2 which allow them to have control the game but Salernitana also done good job, and they play like they started, but sadly there were no able to score 2 goals and ended with 1–2 in this game which give them more headache for staying at the bottom of the league table.

We have to admit that Salernitana's players performed very well in today's home match. Salernitana's players tried to dominate the match. So they attacked a lot. But the Roma team were tactical today. Roma players try to attack very much. But every attack that Rome made was very sharp. Corinne Dybala scored from the penalty spot in the 51st minute and Pellegrini scored another goal in the 15th minute to give Roma a 2-0 lead. After leading by 2 goals, Roma tightened their defense. Even then, Roma conceded a goal. Although Roma didn't attack much, their overall performance today was very composed.

De Rossi has so far still managed to provide victories for AS Roma but still, the victory obtained is also only a narrow victory with a final score of 2-1 in all matches that De Rossi has led so far. Also, there is still one easy match for De Rossi against Cagliari before later AS Roma play against Inter and then play in the Europa League against Feyenoord. At least yes,there is still a good chance for De Rossi to get three points against a team that is in the relegation zone but yes, although so far De Rossi is still quite good but I'm still not sure that good results will happen for the match against Inter later.

De Rossi took over Mourinho role in the right period, where Roma found easy opponents in several matches, these positive results were very good for De Rossi at the start of his managerial career. We know that Roma management took quite a big risk when making the decision to appoint De Rossi as head coach, because in terms of experience of course the two are still very different. I actually quite applaud De Rossi, he can immediately click with the Roma squad, his experience with the club has given him a lot of ease to adapt quickly.

Cagliari, Inter Milan and Feyenoord will test the quality of De Rossi in the future, to what extent he can stabilize the club and prepare his players in two different leagues. On the other hand, I hope that De Rossi can be like Xabi Alonso in the Bundesliga, where he is able to bring Leverkusen to improve gradually until he can lead the top of the standings as he is now. Even though he wasn't as successful as Xabi when he was still actively playing, I feel De Rossi has a good understanding of managing a team to achieve success. For the next few moments, De Rossi still won't be able to completely escape from Mourinho shadow, but he just needs to prove to the fans that he is worthy of taking on this responsibility.

juventus, my beloved team do a draft and inter going up again.. but Inter played one game less

[Pesona1]

They are not gradually falling back to brilliant form. They are actually miles and miles away from brilliance and this result against the last team of the Serie A table standings only came to happen because Roma had two shots on target and both hit the back of the net. In the entire game they had two shots on target, that was all they had against the weakest team in Serie A.

There is a fact we can not deny, they are getting better results in two latest matches than previous matches with Mourinho. We also can not ignore another fact that in previous matches, Roma and Mourinho had to play against stronger clubs so losing points is not something strange. With two winnings, De Rossi and Roma can move onward with more confidence about themselves and they need to beat strong clubs to prove that they are ready for top four. Brilliant form is not important and the ultimate purpose is joining top four.

De Rossi has only brought two wins for Roma and I don't think we should say if he is able to handle Roma now, there are still a few matches to see the true quality of De Rossi and if he is able to overcome big teams later, if yes then it is appropriate for us to Hats off to him, currently Roma have only beaten two small teams and that cannot be a benchmark for De Rossi success.
Apart from that, two weeks after Morinho left, of course Roma game scheme has not changed much and of course the Roma players are still using the same tactics and style of play from Mourinho has been implementing it all this time. De Rossi only handles the team that was formed by Mourinho and so far we have never praised Mourinho when he wins against small teams but it is actually different when now it seems like De Rossi is doing more when he is only able to win 2-1 against Salernitana, isn't that not fair?
I think Mourinho dismissal from Roma was not because he was unable to handle Roma, but because of his bad relationship with management who did not want to provide a budget to buy decent players for the Roma squad.

[Jegileman]

De Rossi is having not good reputation, but he can do something special which will help him for having better things for his and his team future two wins bring some positive change and their test case is ahead while they will host Inter Milan.

De Rossi is a coach who still doesn't have much experience as a coach. Of course it is normal for us to ask, is he worthy of being AS Roma coach? the same goes for other new coaches such as Pirlo, Seedorf, Gattuso etc. So far, the one who has the potential to become a good coach is Simone Inzaghi, while his brother Filippo Inzaghi is also having difficulties. Roma was quite brave in their decision to make De Rossi the interim coach, but if he succeeds in improving Roma's position by the end of the season, maybe De Rossi will start to have confidence in being the coach of a Serie A team.

If it was another team less competitive than AS Roma in the Serie A, I will say two match is enough to give a new coach the confidence to lead that team, but for a team like AS Roma, he has ti face big teams like Inter Milan before one can ascertain that he can lead the team to success if left as the head coach of the team throughout the season. I know it is very difficult starting to coach a new team even when you haven’t had a lot of experience prior to coaching the team, but his ability to win one or two tough matches will make him be at advantage of staying long in the team and finding a comfort zone for himself to continue his coaching career. The next three games of AS Roma will say a lot about De Rossi’s coaching career in the team, especially the one against Inter Milan.

So far De Rossi cannot be said to be good at coaching As Roma, it seems that their game does not have character, if you do an analysis since De Rossi coached As Roma. Indeed, De Rossi in the last two matches managed to get positive results which made them move up to 5th place in the standings with a collection of 35 points.

However, this is not enough to prove that De Rossi is worthy of being the permanent coach because he won the last two matches against the weakest teams in Serie A. He needs to prove that he is worthy of being the coach of As Roma if he is able to beat the strong teams in Serie A. If the experience is not there yet, but in the remainder of this season maybe he will gain valuable experience coaching a big team, so this will motivate him to do his best for AS Roma and next season his position as coach will be permanent.

[hahay]

The opponent faced by AS Roma is still a weak team. 2 wins can be obtained from Verona and Salernitana. 2 weak teams that should be easily won by AS roma. salernitana is currently ranked at the bottom of the last rankings while verona is currently only ranked 16th, 2 levels from the degaradation zone.

These two matches should be a match to get full points for AS Roma because AS Roma is in need of more points to aim for a better position. And the match with Salernitana has been won by AS Roma so what AS Roma has to think about next is winning the match with Verona in order to stay in a position that is not too far from the top five. Because the competition for points in the middle of the Italian League is currently increasingly fierce and quite close with several teams.

At least, the winning results on paper for AS Roma in De Rossi's first three matches were successfully realized even though indeed, De Rossi just played the first two matches against Verona and Salernitana and both were in the bottom zone of the Serie A standings. So, the reason I say De Rossi's first three matches is because yes, in fact in the next match AS Roma will still play against another relegation zone team and that team is Cagliari. Therefore, because in the first two matches De Rossi can keep AS Roma winning then of course, playing against Cagliari who are in the relegation zone still promises a victory for AS Roma because after all, AS Roma will also play at home.

Roma have won their last two matches 2-1. Roma have won two matches after losing several matches in a row. But in both the matches, the opponents were very weak. Roma team wins against Verona and Salernitana.

I agree with you that whether the new coach is still successful will be seen after watching Roma's performance against Inter Milan. Roma's new coach is not experienced enough. I don't even see the possibility of Roma winning against Inter Milan. Because Roma could not dominate the match against Salernitana. But against Inter Milan, Roma will probably play defensive and try to get 1 point. And the match is highly likely to be a draw. But I look forward to seeing if Roma's defense can perform well against Inter Milan's strong attack.

[bastisisca]

Salernitana looks like a tough team at home. We remember that they won points from important teams. They also made a significant team and coach change in Rome. If Salernitana plays poorly as expected, we can talk about an easy victory for Roma, but if they make a surprise, it may be a match that will remain a bad memory for De Rossi.

Yes, you are right about this, I saw that in this match Salernitana played very well and put a lot of pressure on Roma's goal, so that Roma's back line seemed to have difficulty in Salernitana's attacks. I saw that in this match Roma's performance and consistency did not look good, because against Salernitana, whose position in the standings was very different, Roma were still confused by Salernitana's attacks and not only that, Roma also had difficulty scoring goals against Salernitana. However, I really appreciate Roma's victory in this match, even though Roma have not been able to give their best performance, at least they are still trying hard to win this match.

I saw a summary after your reports, and you are absolutely right
Salernitana played well, very well against a Roma who were at times stunned.
In my modest opinion as a fan, Salernitana deserved a draw. Roma are lucky, I have to review my estimates on De Rossi.

If Salernitana played every match like this, perhaps they could even save themselves.

[Weawant]

Bologna, Lazio or Fiorentina can easily displace Roma in the standings because Roma have one more game played... For now, there is one fourth place in the Champions League zone, for which there will be a fight among many clubs... I think that the first three places will remain for Inter, Juventus and Milan...

This looks somehow to me because I'm trying to understand if it's Lazio and fiorentina that has performed below average that will be able to replace Roma even if I know Roma hasn't done any better tho but Roma is more considerable then you will with fiorentina, Lazio is performing below their known performance last season but the are still at a fair position on the table.

If Rossi is consistent enough even if he's new but he's started on a very good not and if he's consistent not loosing any game further, even with a draw he can be sure to help the team stay at the fourth position and secure a champions league spot for next season. Lazio is the next with such chances but it still depends on their performance. Bologna hasn't be really bad and can possibly displace Roma but they will have to find a weakness for Roma upon which they will take advantage and see to displacing them to secure the fourth position and aswell a spot at the UCL.

[Egii Nna]

De Rossi is having not good reputation, but he can do something special which will help him for having better things for his and his team future two wins bring some positive change and their test case is ahead while they will host Inter Milan.

He is a new coach and actually his reputation in my opinion is not a problem because indeed when talking about reputation until now we still can't talk much because he is a new coach, it's just that it's not about reputation issues but the confidence we have in him.

De Rossi is still in his early stages as a coach at AS Roma. I am pretty sure everyone knows that, but to be sincere, something is really changing in their performance, but I will say it is still too early to start getting discouraged in his performance yet, because so far when he is the coach, AS Roma haven’t lost any games yet, but some improvement has been done, even though their last march with Sportiva Salernitana was somehow a treat for AS Roma because they had more shots on target than AS Roma, but to the lucky, or should I say, the performance of AS Roma and their new coach De Rossi, they were able to win the game.

Although I have placed my trust in De Rossi to change the present performance of AS Roma, which I believe will take time, he will definitely do so and have a good reputation for the team.

If indeed Roma's performance is getting worse then he must be prepared to be blamed because his performance cannot bring Roma to a better direction but if his condition is stagnant or even better it clearly must remain appreciated because Management's decision to bring De Rosi is the right decision.

From all indications, De Rossi's performance in As Roma as the coach is amazing because all the games that he coached were all won, but some are still saying that all those teams are not strong enough. Yes, I admit that, but seeing this performance, we should have a positive view of De Rossi that shows that he will definitely improve As Roma’s performance.

[Altryist]

This looks somehow to me because I'm trying to understand if it's Lazio and fiorentina that has performed below average that will be able to replace Roma even if I know Roma hasn't done any better tho but Roma is more considerable then you will with fiorentina, Lazio is performing below their known performance last season but the are still at a fair position on the table.

Sometimes a change of coach can have a positive effect on the mood of the team, but often such results are temporary. It’s still too early to evaluate De Rossi’s success, and it’s still too early to evaluate that Roma was able to get closer to the top 4, Fiorentina, Lazio and Bologna have one game in hand, and each of these teams has a chance to get ahead of Roma. But if Roma can continue to play this well then they will have enough time to climb into the top 4 as Atalanta is very close.

[Mame89]

The opponent faced by AS Roma is still a weak team. 2 wins can be obtained from Verona and Salernitana. 2 weak teams that should be easily won by AS roma. salernitana is currently ranked at the bottom of the last rankings while verona is currently only ranked 16th, 2 levels from the degaradation zone.

These two matches should be a match to get full points for AS Roma because AS Roma is in need of more points to aim for a better position. And the match with Salernitana has been won by AS Roma so what AS Roma has to think about next is winning the match with Verona in order to stay in a position that is not too far from the top five. Because the competition for points in the middle of the Italian League is currently increasingly fierce and quite close with several teams.

At least, the winning results on paper for AS Roma in De Rossi's first three matches were successfully realized even though indeed, De Rossi just played the first two matches against Verona and Salernitana and both were in the bottom zone of the Serie A standings. So, the reason I say De Rossi's first three matches is because yes, in fact in the next match AS Roma will still play against another relegation zone team and that team is Cagliari. Therefore, because in the first two matches De Rossi can keep AS Roma winning then of course, playing against Cagliari who are in the relegation zone still promises a victory for AS Roma because after all, AS Roma will also play at home.

Yes, that's right, now there is no longer any need to debate about them beating weak teams like Verona and Salernitana. What needs to be seen now is that As Roma won again after experiencing several disappointments, but with new coach De Rossi, As Roma managed to get 6 points in their last two matches. This is a positive start to raise the enthusiasm of players. The team is in place but everything still needs to be reorganized, and De Rossi still has a lot of work to do.

De Rossi's proof will most likely be tested in the next three matches, apart from facing Cagliari, they will also face Inter Milan the following week and a few days later they will visit Feyenoord in the first leg of the European Cup. This is truly De Rossi's biggest test with As Roma. Can he get through these three matches?

[AakZaki]

~snip~

if Roma is able to withstand attacks from Inter and can share the score to end the match in a draw and if Roma can survive this is an early sign that De Rossi is almost successful in making a good contribution for Roma.

2 matches of As Roma with De Rossi got positive results. They won albeit with not much goal difference but it was a good start. Against Inter it takes place week 2 of February, before that they will play Cagliari. Of course Roma are favourites to win against Cagliari, but for Inter a draw is a pretty good result. There are rumours that Roma want to sign Kloop, but that's not certain. Since I've read Kloop will take a break for at least 1 year.

[Dzigie]

Of course, in football the result is everything. However, Roma didn't play a very good game against Salernitana. In the first half they had almost no scoring chances and Salernitana attacked very effectively. Candreva, Salernitana's experienced player, performed very well and created important opportunities for Salernitana in the first half. If Roma hadn't taken the lead with a penalty goal in the second half we could have been talking about different things today. De Rossi has a very difficult job at Roma.

Yes, it cannot be denied that this is a good start for de Rossi in coaching Roma. However, fortunately, Roma's two opponents yesterday were not top clubs, in fact one of them was a relegation zone club. So, it is natural for Roma to win both matches. However, this is a quite influential tactical test for de Rossi before finally facing a tough match against Inter later. This is where de Rossi's capacity will be truly tested. This definitely won't be easy because we know that Roma is still not strong enough compared to Inter Milan for this season. So, de Rossi will really face this challenge quite difficult. Worse, they might lose against Inter, and this is quite reasonable if you look at the consistency and performance between the two. However, if de Rossi is able to create tactics that are very suitable for Roma and can carry them out solidly, it is possible that they will draw. I am also curious about Roma's progress with de Rossi.

Of course, in football the result is everything. However, Roma didn't play a very good game against Salernitana.

In the last match, Roma's performance in the first half was not very impressive, especially in the attack line. They really excelled in ball possession and they really controlled the game. However, that alone was not enough because they really couldn't put any significant pressure on Salernitana's defense. That's why in the first half, the match was quite boring, in fact several times it was Salernitana who attacked quickly again. Luckily in the second half, things changed quite a bit and in the end Roma were able to win by 2 goals.

But if Roma can continue to play this well then they will have enough time to climb into the top 4 as Atalanta is very close.

Regardless of what you say but at the moment the 2 wins that have been achieved in De Rosi's first 2 matches have been very good for Roma because at least they can make some changes after the departure of Jose Mourinho who was fired earlier and it has been very good for De Rosi.

Currently the situation of Roma although in the last 2 matches they can win but that does not mean they have to be complacent especially for De Rosi because they still have to continue to prove that they can be better with the conditions of the new coach and De Rosi can adapt well at the club.
As for this being temporary or not everything depends on De Rosi himself whether he is ultimately able or not to make changes and provide consistency for Roma for the rest of the season.

I have said this already and this is exactly the point I was trying to make. Results are ok, but when a new coach is signed and the president watches the team win the next two games but they are playing bad, then the president might calm down for the moment because points are added, but there is still deep concern about the future because everyone knows that results can fall apart quickly. A good team that performs well consistently doesn't fall apart. It will eventually be successful. But to be fair here De Rossi can't chance a team within just a week or so.

It's a promising prospect for Roma winning the first two games with De Rossi. The wins have brought a positive atmosphere to the club that deliver some optimism in light of the coaching transition. I think De Rossi and the team must remain focused and continue to prove themselves by demonstrating the ability to adapt well to the new coaching style. Consistency is key, and the true test lies in whether De Rossi can lead the team effectively throughout the rest of the season.

The fate of Roma under De Rossi's leadership depends on his capacity to bring about sustained positive changes and maintain the team's performance at a high level. Roma need to have character of the team for them to maintain the positive trend and react in the right way when they have a setback. Only time will tell if this is a temporary boost or the beginning of a more enduring and successful chapter for AS Roma.
