Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[LUCKMCFLY]

Milan winning Napoli was within my expectations because I actually anticipated Napoli loosing even though it will look like a fair win that they didn't have to concede too many goals loosing but if the had conceded more goals as they lost the it could be considered a poor or bad result for Napoli.

I have always mentioned it that the absence of victor has in a way affected their performance and they will not be able to easily win games especially against top teams but for mediocre team they could possibly loose but not as much or as often as it is with mediocre teams, luckily for Napoli the AFCON has just been concluded and their star player will be back to join them in a matter of weeks and once again then will hope to play better then they have done all along while he was absent due to the AFCON.

For me things are going well with Napoli last season because they really took those points away from a Juve that had already been trying to get them out of the way, we don't know if UEFA and Serie A allow this type of treatment against these teams. Good, in this case We are people who have Always seen the good performances of players who are on the team and who make the difference, in this case Napoli did what they had to do, count and help themselves with that luck they had, it is not crazy , they did it well, plus it's Something I thought they were going to be good at, but in reality they did nothing in the UCL, in Serie A they haven't been Defending Champions , so these things are what we can see and do things are fine, in this Order of Ideas now when they face the teams of now that are so renewed and who makes the difference because they collide directly with teams that are very strong, players who have a unique Experience , and well , Really I did say that it was luck because it didn't matter that Napoli won the scudetto, but how to do it? Football is like that, things are very Different when we try to understand it, to show how different things can be Different, this is what we can intuit what we can do to make things go Well in Italian football teams, to I hear a Feat that Tthings happen like this.

Napoli for me Represents a very big Disappointment , because I Know another Team has done better at least in the UCL, because I am sure that an Inter from Milan or any Team like Milan Could make the difference, and in fact Napoli It is so that it would be making a difference now, not Being like this to be able to do things the way they are doing them , this is what I Mean that is Wrong , that is not fair, well it doesn't Seem like it to me.

Why Milan ultras insulted Napoli and Italy winger Politano

+¿+

Milan ultras in Curva Sud insulted Napoli winger Matteo Politano when the Italy international was introduced in the second half, not forgetting an obscene gesture the 30-year-old had made during a Serie A meeting last season.

Politano was initially benched by Walter Mazzarri at the Stadio Meazza but was introduced as a substitute during the break, replacing Leo Ostigard.

Milan ultras in Curva Sud immediately targeted the Italian winger with insulting chants, such as ‘Politano son of a b…’ remembering what the 30-year-old had done during a meeting at the Stadio Maradona last season.

It happened during Milan’s 4-0 victory in Serie A, a few days before a Champions League quarter-final clash against the Partenopei.

Politano’s obscene gesture was not forgotten by the Rossoneri ultras who insulted the Italy international with two or three chants after his introduction.

I've been saying this since the start of the season when Mourinho didn't have the chance to build his dream squad but fortunately several seasons ago Mourinho managed to give AS Roma a conference league title. This season Mourinho's performance is no better and Roma have fired him then bring in a new coach, previously many of them thought that the new coach could give Roma 3 consecutive wins but I think it's because they are playing against a weak team and when facing a strong team Roma was defeated.

In terms of strength, the AS Roma team is actually still the same as when it was coached by Mourinho, but for now Roma is only getting an injection of new direction from their new coach who hopefully can get some wins to make Roma's position no worse in Serie A and can return competing fiercely in the European League this season. Because if Roma is able to play better with a greater level of consistency than before, Roma can definitely compete for the top four in Serie A and also compete for several rounds in the Europa League this season.

Well, to be honest, I don't see Roma as being so bad, because it is a team that always has a way to move forward. If things go out, it is difficult that they have removed even Mopu, who did everything to stay and do things better. Sometimes the team doesn't help. and it's good that they wanted to change direction with all this about a new coach, let's see how they assume things, for me it is one of the best things they have done, I am one of those who think that the player should always be present at all times of what his coach does well or badly, for me Mou rejected many opportunities to stay in Roma and now they gave him this endorsement, because sometimes the teams, the Clubs are very unfair and this shows in the soccer, that's why every time we are looking for a way to do things Well, we have to consider everyone in their full right to do everything under another direction, it is still too early to see how the execution of a new technical director is, there is I want to give you more space.

Now, if the technician came out with better Results , then that was the right decision , I hope that is the case, now that we are looking for ways to do things well, because for me the Roma team has to adapt to a new football study because Absolutely all the teams that I have seen in Serie A are doing very well, and they have a high level now, I Know that for me in my desire to see things the PL is the league that has the highest level of complexity and in terms of protection, physical and everything, this is Noticeable when they are in the UCL or in any competition , it is very noticeable , and well the UCL last season the representation of the Inter was something like here they are and they are the best, So Italian football is growing a lot and that is a fact, for me things turn out better every time you can do anything to improve, that is what is Usually Expected.

Reports Mourinho preparing for Bayern Munich job

According to reports in Germany, sacked Roma coach Jose Mourinho is learning German and preparing himself to take over at Bayern Munich.

The tactician was fired by Roma last month, despite the fact his contract was due to expire on June 30, as he was replaced by Daniele De Rossi.

He had been expected to return to the Premier League for the likes of Newcastle United or move to the Saudi Pro League, where he had already rejected previous lucrative proposals.

However, Bild chief Christian Falk claims this evening that Mourinho is spending his spare time learning German and gearing up for a new experience in the Bundesliga.

It is not easy to build a squad in the near future, especially if the coach appointed is not yet used to managing a team. The dismissal of Jose Mourinho did not have a positive effect on AS Roma because the quality of the new coach had not been tested. They managed to win three matches, but the opponents they faced were much easier because they were lower in quality than AS Roma. However, when facing Inter Milan, De Rossi's team had a little difficulty keeping up with the match because the Inter Milan players played quite solidly.

AS Roma will face big problems if they are not able to play better in the future because we are worried that they will have difficulty maintaining their standings. AS Roma's realistic target is to qualify for the Europa League, but AS Roma's struggle is not easy because they have to catch Bologna even though they are currently one point behind.

[Sebas.tian]

Big game ahead this evening.

Milan and Napoli, while Milan is already out from the fight for the win of the title, Napoli needs to win to be in the next Champions.

Napoli has a lot more to lose.

Milan used their opportunity well in the first half to make sure they embrace the early goal that will bring them victory, and they did to defeated Napoli 1-0 to embraced three points from the match. I don't think, Napoli have any fight to fight again in this season that will make them to achieve this title because Inter and Juventus are the two strong teams people are looking unto to lift the Italian league title, because they have performed well from the beginning of the tournament till this stage. Napoli manager has a lot of assignments to do to improve his players because they have the opportunity to win this match but they misused the opportunity in the home of Milan that caused them lose at the end of the match.

The worst clubs in Serie A contributed three victories to AS Roma. Verona, Cagliari, and Salernitana are the clubs that fall into the relegation category. Furthermore, the fact that Salenitana and Verona had scored and just lost by one goal shows that AS Roma needs desperate improvement.

But I am not ruling out De Rossi yet. He still has a lot of matches to play and days to get used to and get better. AS Roma is not only alive for an opportunity to qualify in the Europa League but also in the Champions League. But it also relies on how Atalanta and Bologna act in its last matches this season. But some clubs are not behind and can overtake AS Roma too.

Actually Daniele De Rossi as new manager need more longer time for building squad and he was arrived when winter transfer window have been close so doesn't chance to sign players based on his scheme. I don't have too high expectations for AS Roma this season for qualifying on top fourth position standing although 3 won of 4 matches had played by De Rossi as manager. Upcoming matches, AS Roma will face an easier teams for several matches later and opportunity for Daniele De Rossi secure three points on every matches.

AS Roma have playoff round match in this middle week and Daniele De Rossi need motivate his team forget bad result in domestic league, although keep important match between domestic league and playoff round match seems realistic if Roma focus on Europe League become the winner get automatically place in Champion League group round next season.

It is not an easy thing for Daniele De Rossi to build Roma's performance in the middle of the season because De Rossi needs time to build, not just haphazardly providing strategies because he is worried that he will make mistakes where Roma will suffer defeat, but at least De Rossi can show good performance. Roma was good while he was coaching. Roma only suffered defeat against Inter Milan, but this is quite understandable because Inter Milan is a quite strong club in the league this season and is in its best performance, while De Rossi is still new to managing the club and has to compete with big clubs.

In the play off round, it cannot be confirmed whether Roma will be able to win the match against Feyenoord because we don't know how far Daniele De Rossi will improve Roma's performance, but if De Rossi is able to provide a suitable strategy and win then that should be appreciated because it is not an easy thing. for a new coach to handle a less stable club like Roma.

[tusandii]

The worst clubs in Serie A contributed three victories to AS Roma. Verona, Cagliari, and Salernitana are the clubs that fall into the relegation category. Furthermore, the fact that Salenitana and Verona had scored and just lost by one goal shows that AS Roma needs desperate improvement.

AS Roma is not only alive for an opportunity to qualify in the Europa League but also in the Champions League. But it also relies on how Atalanta and Bologna act in its last matches this season. But some clubs are not behind and can overtake AS Roma too.

Yes, of course Roma needs improvement in the defense line which still often concedes goals so it is unbalanced if the attack line is actually quite good but if the defense is bad it will definitely make the club less than perfect.
De Rossi, as a coach who is believed to be able to improve Roma's performance, is actually a little under pressure because in this very short time he has to be required to improve his performance ahead of the UEL match and there are only a few matches left in Series A.
De Rossi situation not easy, but if he can get through all this with good performance, Roma will certainly have bright opportunity in the future with De Rossi, but it still all depends on how management gives De Rossi the freedom to bring in talented player to strengthen the club performance. .

Talking about the UEL match, I also still have confidence that Roma can qualify against Feyenoord, but then I don't guarantee that Roma can qualify because the competition in the UEL very difficult, there are many stronger clubs there, while Roma still improving their performance and I just hope that De Rossi can give a start good season for Roma.

[Strongkored]

I've been saying this since the start of the season when Mourinho didn't have the chance to build his dream squad but fortunately several seasons ago Mourinho managed to give AS Roma a conference league title. This season Mourinho's performance is no better and Roma have fired him then bring in a new coach, previously many of them thought that the new coach could give Roma 3 consecutive wins but I think it's because they are playing against a weak team and when facing a strong team Roma was defeated.

This is what I mentioned before when Danielle De Rossi became Roma coach, many would think he would make Roma better but actually the opponent factor they faced was one of the reasons why Roma managed to get 9 points, but it still has to be appreciated because it has made a position Roma is approaching the European zone, and if they can maximize every game against weak teams then they can get into a good position this season.

Milan winning Napoli was within my expectations because I actually anticipated Napoli loosing even though it will look like a fair win that they didn't have to concede too many goals loosing but if the had conceded more goals as they lost the it could be considered a poor or bad result for Napoli.

If we look at the match statistics, we can say that one of Napoli's problems is that their front line is not very good, so even though they managed to control possession of the ball, their attacks did not really threaten the home team's goal, and Milan could be said to be quite lucky because the only goal scored in the match Napoli could not respond to this even though they still had a long time to organize their strategy so that they could produce even just one point.
Napoli may be happy with the return of their mainstay player, and in the next three matches, they should be able to perform better and win the match because the teams they are playing against are relatively weak.

[Velvet78]

Theo Hernandez's only goal came in the first half was enough for Milan to win. I would have expected to see more goals from Milan honestly because of their scoring productivity and Napoli's not being very good at defending this season. But at the end of the day getting three points is the most important point of course. 

For now Milan have managed to drop the gap with Juventus to only one point after the recent results Juventus got. However Juventus haven't played their game on this week yet. Probably they would put an end to their bad streak by beating Udinese home.

[topbitcoin]

I think almost all the coaches who have handled AS Roma have sufficient experience but is not able to provide optimal results, but I know there are other reasons why they are having difficulty building strength within the Roma squad the reason is that management cannot bring in the players the coach wants because of financial problems so they just play with the existing squad. If the coach has a budget to bring in the player I think the results will be different  because experience will not be able to compete without the support of the right players.

We need to realize that victory and defeat are basic and quite common in this case so even though the defeat was felt by Roma in the match against Inter and it was enough to make the situation a little shaky because De Rosi failed to maintain their good condition after several previous matches but indeed it is a natural thing and indeed cannot be used as an excuse that he is a failed coach.

At the moment De Rosi just has to give his best performance especially for the play offs next week because after all in terms of conditions, Inter's chances in the match last week and until now are much greater than Roma so the defeat that occurred was a natural thing but they have worked hard with it and I think it deserves to be appreciated.   

[Roseline492]

Milan used their opportunity well in the first half to make sure they embrace the early goal that will bring them victory, and they did to defeated Napoli 1-0 to embraced three points from the match.

AC Milan has been very consistent this season by leading the third position of the league table, however with there current performance it's even expected of them to score more than 3 goals against Napoli because there performance is far better than Napoli because Napoli is still struggling to break out from there current position they are now but there chances are very low because there performance this season is not encouraging at all, however they seem to have given AC Milan a hard time on that match because after AC Milan score on the first half they were unable to score another goal till the end of the match, perhaps AC Milan was very lucky to have utilize the opportunity they had during the first half and score there goal if not it would have been very difficult for them to win the match.

[bering]

Juventus have to forget their loses and focus for upcoming match and today they will attempts to beat Udinese and want to collect 3 points again especially after Inter Milan won from Roma yesterday so win result is mandatory for Juventus if they want to keep up Inter Milan for race title and today if Juventus failed to win again then they have to give up for the title and actually Udinese performance is compeletely messed up because they only collect 2 wins from 23 matches but with 13 draws during this season proven Udinese sometimes can able to stole points from their opponents and the latest is Fiorentina and Atalanta was failed to win from them so Juventus should be aware to these records because Udinese potentially can makes Juventus slipped

Dusan Vlahovic has light injured and he will be doubtful to played but Allegri still waiting Vlahovic recent condition and hopefully he will be available today because Vlahovic is important player for Juventus especially Vlahovic was very sharp recently because he can scores 5 goals in the last 4 matches in Serie A with Juventus so if he absense i think it would be big lost for Juventus however Juventus obviously the favourite especially the bookmakers only provided low odds for them @1.45 and about the final scores probably 1-0 or 2-0 for Juventus

[Hanadawa]

Because if Roma is able to play better with a greater level of consistency than before, Roma can definitely compete for the top four in Serie A and also compete for several rounds in the Europa League this season.

I think the club management hopes that De Rossi can make the Roma squad play better. You are right that AS Roma today is the same as AS Roma under Mourinho. There is no difference in their strengths because they are still playing with the same line-up. What makes the difference is that the new coach can find new game tactics and directions that are more suited to the current composition of the squad so that they can play better. I think this is a normal thing when club management fires their coach and replaces him with a new one. Because they want the new coach to be able to find a formation and gameplay that suits the current squad.

Actually Daniele De Rossi as new manager need more longer time for building squad and he was arrived when winter transfer window have been close so doesn't chance to sign players based on his scheme.

AS Roma have playoff round match in this middle week and Daniele De Rossi need motivate his team forget bad result in domestic league, although keep important match between domestic league and playoff round match seems realistic if Roma focus on Europe League become the winner get automatically place in Champion League group round next season.

This should be the case, it is not easy for a new coach to handle a team especially when the season is already underway to be able to improve performance, everyone has a process and time to put chemistry together so this is indeed a difficult job for Daniele De Rossi but what he has shown so far I think this is better than many people's expectations, so far I think Daniele De Rossi is quite successful.

For matches on the European stage, it might be a little more difficult because Daniele De Rossi is not a coach who has good experience on the European stage.

[len01]

It seems that Atalanta and Bologna know that after Roma has a new coach who has slightly improved their performance, these two teams are trying to take advantage of the match to secure their position and continue to provide a bigger point difference so that Roma cannot get a top 5 position in the standings.
it clear that Atalanta easily beat Genoa with a big score and managed to embarrass the hosts with a score of 1-4 for Atalanta and I see that Genoa's goalkeeper and defense are having problems so they will not be able to withstand every attack from Atalanta, it is even very impossible to be able to withstand draw.

and on the one hand, the Bologna vs Lecce match and from this match Bologna also managed to win with a big score, the same as Atalanta 4-0, making Lecce feel frustrated because they failed to withstand every attack and I think Lecce often made mistakes so it was difficult to put up resistance and on the one hand, Bologna side competed as hosts so it was natural that Bologna easily beat Lecce.
currently the difference in points between Atalanta and Bologna is only 3 points, while Roma will have difficulty catching up in points with Bologna and Atalanta because the difference of 4 with Atalanta definitely very difficult.

[udidrone]

This should be the case, it is not easy for a new coach to handle a team especially when the season is already underway to be able to improve performance, everyone has a process and time to put chemistry together so this is indeed a difficult job for Daniele De Rossi but what he has shown so far I think this is better than many people's expectations, so far I think Daniele De Rossi is quite successful.

For matches on the European stage, it might be a little more difficult because Daniele De Rossi is not a coach who has good experience on the European stage.

We understand that the owner of AS Roma might give De Rossi's target to bring Roma in the 5th position and Roma still has the opportunity to get it but for the European League we don't know at least we have to give him one chance to see his abilities. This week Roma will play in the European League against Feyenoord and Feyenoord is not an easy opponent especially Roma playing away, previously Feyenoord played in the Champions League but were eliminated earlier so actually they are at a different level.

[Oluwa-btc]

For now Milan have managed to drop the gap with Juventus to only one point after the recent results Juventus got. However Juventus haven't played their game on this week yet. Probably they would put an end to their bad streak by beating Udinese home.

Defending Champions are now twenty five points behind league leaders, I do not think they have the slightest hopes of qualifying for the Champions League Competition next season. They're far from good not even better, they should be out of the Champions League Competition soon only if Barcelona can make a good use if the opportunity they have  to knock them out finally.
Milan also are not consistent, they're aren't in a bad position at least getting a better manager to completely reset them up would be great to achieve.

Juventus host Udinese tonight, they have a chance of winning at home but will this coke easy for them today. Losing last weekend wasn't good thing to see.

[Xcode7]

Juventus have to forget their loses and focus for upcoming match and today they will attempts to beat Udinese and want to collect 3 points again especially after Inter Milan won from Roma yesterday so win result is mandatory for Juventus if they want to keep up Inter Milan for race title and today if Juventus failed to win again then they have to give up for the title and actually Udinese performance is compeletely messed up because they only collect 2 wins from 23 matches but with 13 draws during this season proven Udinese sometimes can able to stole points from their opponents and the latest is Fiorentina and Atalanta was failed to win from them so Juventus should be aware to these records because Udinese potentially can makes Juventus slipped

In 2 consecutive matches, Juventus have failed to win and they are increasingly behind on points from Inter Milan at the top of the standings, of course this bothers them a little.
Indeed, Juventus should be able to get up quickly so as not to fall further behind Inter Milan in the race for the Scudetto this season, but I think that will be a little difficult.

The match against Udinese could possibly be a turning point for Juventus to win and make the team's confidence increase again. Juventus will be playing at home and Udinese is also not at its best so this should be utilized well by Juventus.

This week Roma will play in the European League against Feyenoord and Feyenoord is not an easy opponent especially Roma playing away, previously Feyenoord played in the Champions League but were eliminated earlier so actually they are at a different level.

This season the remaining matches for Roma to play are 14 more matches so it is not realistic for Roma management to target ranking 5th because I think their target is to close the season in the top 4 rankings. Indeed, if you look at the points scored, of course Roma is far behind the top 4 teams, but they still have a chance to reduce the gap if they can return to winning ways in the upcoming matches. Roma wanted to target the Champions League, so Roma management fired Mourinho because Mourinho failed to bring Roma to finish in the top 4.

Atalanta, who is ranked in the top 4, is also not in a safe enough position because their points are so close to the teams below them. Maybe fourth place will be a struggle for 3 teams at the end of this season because Bologna, Atalanta and Roma will compete to get a ticket to compete in the Champions League next season. Apart from that, the top 3 ranks already belong to AC Milan because they have been able to widen the point difference with Atalanta who are in 4th place.

Roma wanted to target the Champions League, so Roma management fired Mourinho because Mourinho failed to bring Roma to finish in the top 4.

If Mourinho fails to bring Roma to finish within top four in last two seasons, it's unrealistic to ask a young coach like De Rossi to make it done. Roma still have chance to complete this season in top four but they have to try a lot and above clubs like Atalanta, Bologna will have worse performances in future. AS Roma are racing not only with these two clubs but also with Fiorentina, Lazio, Atalanta and even Torino.

Atalanta, who is ranked in the top 4, is also not in a safe enough position because their points are so close to the teams below them. Maybe fourth place will be a struggle for 3 teams at the end of this season because Bologna, Atalanta and Roma will compete to get a ticket to compete in the Champions League next season. Apart from that, the top 3 ranks already belong to AC Milan because they have been able to widen the point difference with Atalanta who are in 4th place.

Atalanta are holding the fourth position and they can make their difference against Roma to even 7 points. But it is in theory because they must win their match to increase the point difference. Atalanta are not more stable than Roma or Bologna and other competitors, they are all very unstable and can have mix of good and bad matches.
