Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Hirose UK]

~snip~

The gap can be even more if Juventus continues the weak performance like this. So far in this season Inter Milan had perfect results and they got many points in Serie A, but Juventus lost the games we were expecting them to win and they are literally losing their best chance to win the Serie A title because Juventus is not playing the Champions League and they can have more time for recovery but it seels Allegri didn't use the chance in Juventus and he is the one to blame.
  

Previously, Juventus had a very good performance and even became quite great competitor for Inter Milan in the race for the Serie A title this season, Juventus has won lot since the start of the season and has had full points in almost every match.
But it is true that in the last few matches Juventus has had less than optimal results and in the last 3 matches Juventus has only been able to save one point, this is clearly problem for Juventus because they are getting further and further behind in points from Inter Milan who are at the top of the standings.
Firstly, Juventus played against Empoli and had to suffer draw with their mainstay striker who was given red card, namely Arkadiusz Milik, in the second match Juventus lost to Inter Milan with score of 0 - 1 and in the last match it was against the lower team Udinese with defeat score of 0 - 1 and this was bad three games for Juventus.
If in the future Juventus does not change the game for the better and fix each of these problems for the better, then it is possible that Juventus could go down and no longer occupy second place in the standings.
If stating that Allegri was at fault for this failure was actually appropriate because he as coach was unable to give his best and enable his players to produce winning results, he should have been able to overcome the problems that occurred even though it was about the main players who had to be absent from the match due to suspension.

Bologna is a biggest surprise in Serie A this season and with a very young coach, Thiago Motta, they are participating in top four competition. They still have good chance to get a fourth position from Atalanta and have good advantage against Roma, Lazio, Napoli in this race.

Motta is actually doing very great job in Bologna and with limited player resource in the club, and his limited experience in his coach career, he is contributing for this magic season for Bologna. Even they can not finish this season in top four, it will still be a bright season in his coach career record. I think Bologna will drop down under clubs like Atalanta, Roma, Lazio and Napoli but for now, they are performing very impressively.

Looking with current standings in Serie A seems Bologna has potential to be underdog team and change top fourth teams dominance in this season, left difference goals productivities with Atalanta who on the 4th standings automatically will make Bologna get one Champion League spot standings position for next season. Bologna won last three matches in a row and success hold draw AC Milan, its seems get large opportunity for finishing in top fourth standings in this season if can consistency their performance until 14 matches left.

Thiago Motta as Bologna's head coach success make his team in the top level performance and unpredictable success pressure the top fourth standings team, won 11 of 24 matches then 9 draw and 4 losses its very good achievement as Bologna is not really strong team or candidate will get top fourth standings for this season.

I'm not concerned about the clashes against these inferior clubs; the real bouts are versus strong teams. I'm keeping a careful eye on Inter Milan and Juventus, as they compete for the Scudetto this season. Fiorentina couldn't survive Bologna's frantic movements, which required three points to move ahead on the table. Seria It's challenging since there are critical matches, and most of these ordinary clubs struggle to win. Thiago Motta, Bologna's manager, did not come here to play since he is more eager about taking the team to the next level.

When Bologna was decide to sacked Sinisa Mihajlovic on 2022 and hire Thiago Motta as the next manager most people were doubt to him this because his career as a manager previously doesn't run well because before train Bologna Motta was sacked from Genoa on 2019 and he also withdraw from his position as Spezia manager but apparently Motta has prove to the people that he is the right manager for Bologna because last season Motta can able to bringing Bologna to avoiding relegation zone even at that time Bologna can finish at 9th place after end of the season

Just like i said before Bologna was very strong now because without star players Thiago Motta can bringing Bologna to compete with Atalanta, Roma or probably Lazio for champion league spots and yesterday they can able to resumes their winning streak by win from Fiorentina and this result also makes Bologna has equal points with Atalanta however if i am not mistaken Thiago Motta contract with Bologna will be expired this year and the negotiations between Motta and Bologna owner still hasn't reach an agreement and if Motta has decide to leave Bologna then it could be a big lost for them and the rumour is AC Milan has showing their interest to Motta

Looking with current standings in Serie A seems Bologna has potential to be underdog team and change top fourth teams dominance in this season, left difference goals productivities with Atalanta who on the 4th standings automatically will make Bologna get one Champion League spot standings position for next season. Bologna won last three matches in a row and success hold draw AC Milan, its seems get large opportunity for finishing in top fourth standings in this season if can consistency their performance until 14 matches left.~

Atalanta has one game less and in the next round they play Sassuolo at home, so they will most likely gain 3 points and gain a 3-point advantage over Bologna. Therefore, in the fight for fourth place they are clear favorites, although the other 5 (lol, including Napoli) teams will try to interfere in the fight.
As for ending the dominance of the big four, Lazio finished second last season, but such temporary successes do not fundamentally change anything.

[babo]

I also believe that the issue is entirely psychological, given that physically the players are very fresh playing only the Italian championship
unfortunately they are not yet strong enough or psychologically resistant enough, I don't know
But in this way the cant beat Inter

I do not think so. The Scudetto is 99% certain to belong to Inter Milan. There is no doubt whatsoever there. I think hoping that Inter Milan will lose in the next few games is almost impossible. They are not like Leverkusen in the Bundesliga. Even though Leverkusen is 5 points ahead of Munich at the moment, they are not the strongest team. It's just that they are indeed at their best. And Munich also still has a chance to catch up on points again.

This situation is different in Serie A. Inter Milan is stronger than other teams. The victory over Juventus has confirmed that they are the best in Italy and 99% have confirmed the title. Because the other teams are much weaker than them. I think after there are only a few games left in the league and they can't get enough points, then they will focus on the Champions League, if they are able to reach the semifinals or final.

yes but I said the same thing if you look closely
It's impossible for Inter to lose and allow Juventus to recover points, it's like hoping for snow in the summer, it's practically impossible even if there's a small percentage
inter will win scudetto at 99%

In fact, Bologna's player material is almost the same as last season and has minimal star players. But this season, Bologna's performance has been extraordinary, surprising everyone and even competing at the top in the top 4 of the Italian league. the same as Girona in the Spanish league

I was also surprised when I saw Bologna who was extraordinary at home when facing Fiorentina, because previously Fiorentina had also looked quite good in the Italian League. But now everything seems to have changed and Fiorentina will find it very difficult to fight to get to the top four in the standings, while Bologna is starting to look good and has the opportunity to take the top four if Atalanta experiences bad luck in the next two matches in the Italian League.

[Chilwell]

Bologna and Fiorentina are playing a postponed match in Week 21. More than half an hour has passed and now Bologna is leading by 1 goal.
I think if the match continues like this then Bologna will really win, unless Fiorentina can change their strategy in the second half and turn to pressure Bologna. Bologna had time to double their goal, but unfortunately the goal had to be disallowed after the referee carried out a VAR check.
Fiorentina must be able to improve their performance in the second half, because in the first half their strategy did not work very well. I understand that this happened because Bologna were able to develop the game first and with quick goals which ultimately made them more comfortable in possession of the ball. However, it is not impossible if they can equalize and even reverse the situation.

But in the end Bologna was able to win the match against Fiorentina very comfortably. Successfully beating Fiorentina with a score of 2-0 was actually beyond my expectations. Because in this match I also hope both teams score goals. But Fiorentina didn't do that. And now Bologna has managed to stay in 5th place and widen the points gap with Roma who are in 6th. Bologna this season has indeed improved compared to last season. Meanwhile, Fiorentina seems to be the same as last season. Sometimes they look strong and sometimes they look weak. They are still inconsistent for Serie A.

I like such courage that was built in those small clubs, take a look at Aston Villa in Premier League their performance surprised everyone, in the first place I thought they are just hype until I consider them to be a strong opponent, even Girona that have pushed away Barcelona. Bologna has stand up for a good fight because for the pervious seasons they always finished the season between 9th - 15th position for past five season now, as for this season they really built courage to contest for the champions league zone which I have much confidence in them with their current performance, I know they have the same point with Atalanta that are in fourth place even though they are one game ahead I still have hope for them.

[HajiBagi]

I'm already announcing Inter as the champions of this season.    Because after Juventus got that very devastating loss against Udinese they are far away from a title race. The gap is 7 points and Inter have a missing match to play. It is difficult to see this situation coming from here to Juventus' re-entering a title race from now on. Inter completely deserve the title thanks to their high level effort. Juventus should have been more productive than this to fight for the title until the end...

It will be extremely difficult for Juventus to win the league title this season, no matter how hard they try. Inter Milan is leading them by a point that can be easily obtained, so even if they try hard to win their remaining games, it will be extremely difficult. Juventus' last game against Udinese will have an impact on them from now until the end of the season. My advice to Juventus is to just keep playing their remaining games and qualify to champion league next season, but to win the league title this year will be very difficult, if not impossible.

Inter Milan is playing unbelievable this season. Last season, they were unable to win the league title due to a few poor performances, but fortunately, they had Lukaku, who was their good striker during the season. After Lukaku left the team, I assumed that inter Milan would struggle as they would not have a good striker, but they have one of the best strikers in the world at the moment, so they are extremely fortunate to have their current striker.

[rendravolt]

It turned out that Bologna was still a fairly strong opponent for Fiorentina and this match ended with Bologna winning at home with a 2-0 lead. This result made Bologna win 3 in a row and Fiorentina suffered another defeat and this was their 3rd defeat in the last 5 matches. Actually, statistically the two teams are quite evenly matched, it's just that Fiorentina was unlucky in away games.

I think Fiorentina will be increasingly left behind if they continue in a period of inconsistency like this and the competition for a place in European competition will become increasingly thin for them. This defeat also made Fiorentina 5 points away from Bologna but at least they still have a chance to overtake Roma or Lazio in the next match. It's quite unfortunate for Fiorentina and if it continues like this they could be knocked out of the top 10 in the standings because Napoli wants to immediately improve their existing performance by shifting the teams above them.

Because in this match I also hope both teams score goals. But Fiorentina didn't do that. And now Bologna has managed to stay in 5th place and widen the points gap with Roma who are in 6th. Bologna this season has indeed improved compared to last season. Meanwhile, Fiorentina seems to be the same as last season. Sometimes they look strong and sometimes they look weak. They are still inconsistent for Serie A.

Bologna is stronger than Fiorentina this season, even in today match Bologna was able to take advantage of the support of its supporters to secure 3 points. Even in the game statistics, Bologna was able to dominate possession of the ball by carrying out many attacks where they were able to record 18 shots and two of them became goals. This victory also brings Bologna closer to Atalanta who is in the top 4.

Orsolini is increasingly developing in his game where he helped lead Bologna to victory in today match. If Bologna succeeds in maintaining their positive pace by achieving victory in the next week, of course their chances of overtaking Atalanta will be greater.

It's a common thing to see that since bologna is performing quite better compared to the fiorentina from the middle to the end of season. We are also hoping that there will be so many things to happen like bologna to copete for the UCL spot for upcoming season. Bologna has been surprisingly improved a lot compared to the last season. The club is having better performance this season.
I do like the way boligna was controlling the game. it feels like that if i was seeing the big club played the game. In my opinion that if this season is going to be a different thing for us. I hope that many people will able to aware with what has alreayd done by bologna.

The club has been performing far better compared to the last season. That's good to see bologna able to farms three points from fiorentina which is still in the process to decline from the top to the bottom. Bologna is as good as atalanta right now. The club is always playing efficiently.
That's amazing to see that how bologna spread the messages to the other clubs always be careful when they were facing bologna. I was seeing this team as a black horse in the serie a. it's caused by bologna is always very consistent in making the big clubs struggle to bet it.

Juventus' two consecutive defeats made it increasingly difficult for them to remain competitive with Inter Milan and the fatal mistake was when they lost to the mediocre team Udinese, but I am quite sure that this result means that Juventus will correct their mistakes and try to cover the weaknesses that made them perform poorly so that the point difference will remain the same for the next few matches and Juventus is waiting for Inter Milan to fall, which can be said to be quite difficult to happen because for two seasons they failed to become Serie A champions, especially as Juventus usually dominates, so when they see that Juventus is a team that is having difficulty competing, it is a big opportunity for Inter Milan to become champion.
Juventus still have a chance but unfortunately the percentage is getting smaller and smaller because of their mistakes and when their fate is decided by Inter Milan it makes them no longer favorites as Inter's competitors this season because Inter will comfortably lift the Serie A trophy at the end of the season.

For me, there are absolutely no surprises that occur in the match between Bologna v Fiorentina. Because after all, the fact is that at this moment Bologna is a very good team when playing at home, and at the same time that Fiorentina has decreased performance especially for away matches. Therefore, I also bet on Bologna in this match but unfortunately, I included it in the parlay bet. In addition, the fact is that in the last three away matches Fiorentina ended up losing by Lecce, Napoli and Sassuolo. But for Bologna, the fact is that so far this season Bologna has only got 2 draws and 1 loss for the home matches it has played so far this season in Serie A. Therefore, Bologna win against Fiorentina was actually predictable and it really happened.

It's very difficult to expect Inter to fall and I think that's something we rarely see this season. Inter are still firmly at the top of the standings and are getting closer to the Scudetto title this season. Juventus' defeat is like something that can no longer be treated and La Vechia Signora will get worse if Milan succeeds in shifting their position in the future. Juventus seemed to have lost their way and it was a shame that the defeat against Udinese should not have happened.

I don't know whether Juventus now has a strong reason to be able to compete with Inter again or not and considering that they are 7 points behind Inter, it will be very difficult for Juventus to reach all of them. Moreover, the two meetings this season have ended for both teams and Juventus can only hope that the other team can beat Inter. It is very regrettable that a team as big as Juventus has to beg other teams if they want the Scudetto this season and I don't think they are fit to be champions. They should forget about this season and come back next season.

Napoli can win versus Genoa i think, so is the only one difficult game.
Inter Milan for sure win and Atalanta too.

Bologna is a biggest surprise in Serie A this season and with a very young coach, Thiago Motta, they are participating in top four competition. They still have good chance to get a fourth position from Atalanta and have good advantage against Roma, Lazio, Napoli in this race.

Motta is actually doing very great job in Bologna and with limited player resource in the club, and his limited experience in his coach career, he is contributing for this magic season for Bologna. Even they can not finish this season in top four, it will still be a bright season in his coach career record. I think Bologna will drop down under clubs like Atalanta, Roma, Lazio and Napoli but for now, they are performing very impressively.

In La Liga we got Girona make big surprise and Bologna become most surprised in Serie A after success breaking out to the top fourth standings position, Bologna well performed make the top Serie A teams who usually dominance in top fourth standings such as Napoli, Lazio and AS Roma have dropped out from top fourth position.

Thiago Motta not really has much experienced become manager and limitation fund for transferring top players but its not problem for him make Bologna keep close with top fourth position standings. Current standings, Bologna left 10 points from third standings team AC Milan and will be excited if Thiago Motta for the first time success give Champion League spot standings and Bologna will get their first appearance in the highst European competition.

[beerlover]

Looking with current standings in Serie A seems Bologna has potential to be underdog team and change top fourth teams dominance in this season, left difference goals productivities with Atalanta who on the 4th standings automatically will make Bologna get one Champion League spot standings position for next season. Bologna won last three matches in a row and success hold draw AC Milan, its seems get large opportunity for finishing in top fourth standings in this season if can consistency their performance until 14 matches left.~

Atalanta has one game less and in the next round they play Sassuolo at home, so they will most likely gain 3 points and gain a 3-point advantage over Bologna. Therefore, in the fight for fourth place they are clear favorites, although the other 5 (lol, including Napoli) teams will try to interfere in the fight.
As for ending the dominance of the big four, Lazio finished second last season, but such temporary successes do not fundamentally change anything.

It is not easy for them to keep that place because everyone is trying to attack and get there. Roma for example has been doing fine, sure they lost their last game but that was against Inter so it's normal for them to lose. I think it's clear that we are going to end up with a situation where it will not be all that easy for them to just keep it going.

All in all, we need to consider the fact that Atalanta is at a tough position and could end up losing eventually and when they do, they may lose their position as well. Only place guaranteed right now is top three in my mind. Inter will definitely win the title, it looks like that, and Juventus will stay at second place unless they start to lose more, they are getting a lot closer by Milan, and Milan will be third. Rest is not that set.

Therefore, Bologna win against Fiorentina was actually predictable and it really happened.

I did not bet on this match. Because I was more worried about the two Champions League matches. I thought Fiorentina players would be able to perform well in this match. Because in the last two matches against Bologna we have seen a better performance than Fiorentina. I expected the match to be a draw. But the match was dominated by Bologna players. And they managed to pull off an excellent 2-0 win. Bologna is performing very well this season. Bologna is trying their best to grab the fourth place in the table. Atalanta and Bologna are now level on points. However, Bologna has played one match more than Atalanta.

[Uruhara]

The gap can be even more if Juventus continues the weak performance like this.

Last week Juventus lost points because they lost to Inter Milan. And we can understand all of this because it will still be difficult for Inter Milan to be beaten by Juventus. But in yesterday's match I think Juventus wasted the opportunity to get back close to the top ranking. Juventus' defeat by Udinese really made us all know that Inter Milan will now be increasingly favored to win the title. Meanwhile, Juventus' hopes of catching up with Inter Milan are now increasingly difficult. Because in 3 weeks we all know that Juventus only got 1 point from the draw against Empoli. And the funny thing is that at that time Juventus even became the host. But they failed to get full points against Empoli. And now they also failed against Udinese. And it is clear that now Juventus is starting to weaken. Even though I hope the competition for the title can be more fierce. Because I don't want to be like last season where the competition for the title became boring. Because Napoli are already superior and can even be guaranteed to win the title even from the middle of the season. And I think this season should be more competitive. But now I'm starting to feel that Inter Milan will be favored even from now on.

[piebeyb]

I don't know whether Juventus now has a strong reason to be able to compete with Inter again or not and considering that they are 7 points behind Inter, it will be very difficult for Juventus to reach all of them. Moreover, the two meetings this season have ended for both teams and Juventus can only hope that the other team can beat Inter. It is very regrettable that a team as big as Juventus has to beg other teams if they want the Scudetto this season and I don't think they are fit to be champions. They should forget about this season and come back next season.

They have to pay for this season's failure next season, at least they can maintain their position by finishing in the top 4 to get a UCL ticket next season, I think that is their target at the moment as well as the Coppa Italia championship against Lazio in the semi-finals, of course Juventus is still can win the title in the Coppa Italia if they can beat Lazio in the semi-finals, if they fail, of course that will mean that Juventus will not have any chance of winning the title this season. I think Allegri must be able to raise the enthusiasm of his team to be more confident.

I know that Lazio is a strong club because they cannot be underestimated, but this is a challenge for Juventus to face them in the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia, chasing a 7 point gap on Inter Milan will not be easy to achieve even though Inter Milan made a mistake they will immediately correct it , that's what I see Inter Milan becoming the strongest club in the Italian league this season, because they always learn from mistakes and play better in the next match. I admit they are very consistent.
