Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[rendravolt]

Seeing Bologna continue to maintain their winning streak so far makes it even more confident that they will be a serious challenger in fighting for a place in the champions league next season. How could it not be if we look at Bologna's development so far which is amazing and they are unbeaten in the last 6 matches. I feel they are ready to compete with other teams who have the same opportunity, such as Milan or Atalanta, who have a difference that is not much different.

The 2-0 victory over Verona proved that they are worthy of competing with other great teams this season and I am always happy that when betting on Bologna matches I can always make money from existing bets. However, both Atalanta and Milan will face each other this week and whoever loses will be very profitable for Bologna to maintain their chances at the end of the season.

One of the interesting matches this week is the match between AC Milan vs Atalanta. The two clubs that will compete have many similarities or in other words they are not much different in terms of performance, in fact they are only 2 steps apart in the standings, with AC Milan still showing something better than Atalanta.

AC Milan just suffered an unexpected defeat when they faced Monza last week, in fact they conceded 4 goals and were only able to score 2 goals, making the match end with 4-2 in favor of Monza. In terms of club performance, of course Atalanta is better than Monza, so the opportunity for AC Milan to lose in this match is also open. AC MIlan will act as hosts in this match, that is an advantage for them. In my opinion, AC Milan will also be more motivated to restore the victory they didn't get last week and that is what made them fail to overtake Juventus who are in 2nd place in the standings.

Meanwhile, Alatanta also came with a mission to win, they must take home at least 1 point from this match. Considering that their opponents are AC Milan who will also act as hosts, one point is a pretty good result for them. Atalanta is also in a positive trend with the winning streak they have recorded in the last few matches. That will be very good capital for them to play at AC Milan headquarters this week. Honestly, I don't think I would bet on this very risky match, but what about you?

Although maybe I have a different view for the Cagliari vs Napoli match. But I'm also not sure about Napoli this season. But Cagliari shouldn't be a big problem for Napoli. Because Cagliari also lost to Lazio when playing as hosts. And I think Napoli will also manage to beat Cagliari just like Lazio did.

Ending the 2023/2024 season below the top 10 in the standings will not happen for Napoli even though Napoli has experienced a decline in performance this season. The best place for Napoli to end this season is in the top 10 zone which is close to fifth position.
Cagliari, the opponent that Napoli will challenge, is also not in good form. Being at the bottom of the standings does not mean Napoli should take it lightly even though we believe Napoli can win against Cagliari.

I bet on Napoli winning with a narrow score in this match.

Even though it's narrow, Napoli can win.

Because Cagliari also lost to Lazio when playing as hosts. And I think Napoli will also manage to beat Cagliari just like Lazio did.

I bet on Napoli winning with a narrow score in this match.

Napoli may not have really been looking pretty inform but I don't want to believe Cagliari would be such a problem to them because this is just an average team in the  serie A so the challenge they would pose shouldn't be such that will take Napoli off balance Moreover winning this game will mean a lot to Napoli because they will literally go up the table a little if they win this game.

Napoli now have most of their top players back and in form and I've not heard any case of injury in recent times and they aswell know how well they have not been performing recently and this is more like an opportunity for them to get back on track so I think with their complete squad they will be able to get three points from this game to keep them at the eighth position on the table with thirty nine points but a draw will keep them at their current ninth position without further movement. Cagliari at the bottom of the table lost four of their last five games and drew on doesn't seem like a team thst will be able to steal three points from Napoli even in their poor form.

[len01]

In fact, after Spalletti left, there were many assumptions that Napoli would experience a decline in their performance this season and that was true because Napoli looked very weak in Serie A this season after they became champions in the previous season. Yes, now Napoli have fired Mazzarri again because his performance was not as expected. Meanwhile, the Napoli owners have appointed Calzona as their new coach for the remainder of this season. Napoli have changed their coach three times this season starting from Rudi Garcia, Mazzari and now Calzona who is their new coach. For this reason, I think the very limited time will make it very difficult for Calzona to bring about changes for Napoli.

However, apart from that, we hope that Calzona can perform better compared to Mazzarri because this season Napoli is still competing in the Champions League so Calzona has a good opportunity to show his expertise in bringing the Napoli squad to go far in the Champions League. The second leg will be proof for Calzona in coaching Napoli because if he succeeds in beating Barcelona, ​​of course he is the coach that Napoli really needs.

Mazzarri didn't make Napoli's performance improve, in fact it made Napoli's performance worse every week, when facing Genoa on the last matchday, Napoli was only able to score 1 goal in the 90' minute, Kvarat didn't even have a chance at all, from this i understand that figure A coach is very important for a team, when the coach doesn't provide a good strategy, the squad being coached will play chaotically.  Napoli's position in the current standings is increasingly in the middle, facing Cagliari later, they must win, in order to improve their position in the standings.

I am one of those who say that Napoli will be a bad team after firing Spalletti and all are proven that from some of the coaches that have been replaced only Spalletti is able to provide an increase in team performance and even the performance of the mainstay players such as Osimhen is able to improve very quickly can create a lot of scores in last season and after that there were no coaches who were able to manage well like Garcia also did not have any effect, especially Mazzarri, one of the bad coaches chosen Napoli management gave a bad influence in the short term.

of course the role of the coach is very important for a team and if a team like Napoli who continues to replace the coach without giving the opportunity in a few seasons to be able to bring the team to a higher level in the end the adverse effects occur in the future of Napoli and there are other examples of the league team other like PSG who also often replaces the coach despite having quality players but still fails at UCL and will only be the strongest team in the domestic league.
this season Napoli has no hope except that he can get a coach that is really great after that maintaining in the long run but I'm not sure if next season Osimhen is still in Napoli or will officially leave and Napoli become more down.

I bet on Napoli winning with a narrow score in this match.

Even though it's narrow, Napoli can win.

Cagliari have never won in their last five matches which is why Napoli are very favored in this match, but even so Cagliari could make it difficult for Napoli to get the full three points because for them to get out of the relegation zone will be their main benchmark, at least getting one point for them it is very valuable to save them from their current position and at least get out of the relegation zone. Even though it is difficult, Cagliari will of course try as hard as possible.

It seems that Napoli also don't want to play less consistently. For them, this victory is needed to improve their position in the standings. At least they are in the top 10 and not out of the top 10. Napoli, although this season is less consistent, unlike last season, they have to be able to show their game. their best, especially against Barcelona yesterday with a draw, of course it was a bit disappointing for their supporters, against Cagliari as a guest, of course Napoli still played carefully, not too confident and underestimated Cagliari's strength, they could give a surprise, but Napoli had to win narrowly, didn't they? The problem of getting the full three points will really help improve their position in the current standings.

[Renampun]

Empoli vs Sassuolo - for this match, I'm confused about which one to choose, both have poor performance, Empoli is only 2 points ahead of Sassuolo, it looks like this match will end in a draw.

Udinese vs Genoa - I choose Genoa they have a much better defense than Udinese.

Salernitana vs Monza - Monza is of course the one I will choose, on last matchday, Monza successfully beat Milan, so they will beat Salernitana today.

Cagliari have never won in their last five matches which is why Napoli are very favored in this match, but even so Cagliari could make it difficult for Napoli to get the full three points because for them to get out of the relegation zone will be their main benchmark, at least getting one point for them it is very valuable to save them from their current position and at least get out of the relegation zone. Even though it is difficult, Cagliari will of course try as hard as possible.

...

Cagliari will find it difficult to keep up with Napoli's game pattern even though Napoli's current position in the standings is not good, Napoli is much tougher than Cagliari.

Hello folks, this is my bet ... i will bet on winning Inter Milan, always
i bet my beloved Juventus winning one and i try to give trust to Bologna. We will see..

• Lecce - Inter Milan i will bet on Inter Milan
• Juventus - Frosinone i will bet on Juventus
• Bologna - Hellas Verona FC i will bet on Bologna

I also support your choice. in my prediction your all bet can win. these 3 match predictions are very easy.  So winning by betting here can be a very easy task. so many like you will not want to miss this opportunity. Although these are very easy matches, you should never bet more than you can afford.  If a strong team unfortunately loses in this, you will face a big loss. nothing can be guaranteed in football so bet with caution all the time.

Juventus and Inter should surely win this match as they are both playing with a weaker team. I can't say much about Bologna but glad they won their match already. Best of luck to anyone who had played this game as it should be a winning game for them.

You are really late about your views because now it's almost more them 4 hours Bologna won their game against Verona by score of 2–0, and now they are surely doing good for the having 4th spot even Atlanta is having 2 games in hand but currently with their performance they are third-best team in Serie A in last few weeks, and they are going to have good fight for the fourth spot in coming weeks as well because their defense and attack both are doing good job and allowing them to have good run of these wins now in next round they are going to visit Atlanta which is currently at the fifth spot and their two games are going to have big impact on their spot first they will visit AC Milan and then going to host Bologna.

[TastyChillySauce00]

The problem of Napoli is their own president.
He believed that he could won just changing the coach since he believed he got a strong team.

But this is not an easy game and they can't win just with a random coach even if the players are the same.

And not only this, their president was also the man who did the market session with catastrophic results.

That is a bad decision Napoli president made to replace the coach that build the team on a solid ground, but since the new coach took over Napoli they began to experience some strange things that is making their players not to perform well and even victor Osimhen that used to make Napoli strikers proud started experience the same thing with other players too. I think, Napoli will know that their formal coach was a potential coach because he can use this current position of Napoli in the Italian league table to judge the new coach and the past coach, and the past coach have many good results for Napoli than this present coach. I know, it will be difficult for Napoli to win this Italian league competition title this season, because many teams are ahead of them right now and it will make them to miss the opportunity at the end of the tournament.

Napoli's president was so skeptical with the condition of his club right now and this is not something that needs to be argued. he has been doing his best to save napoli but since spalletti was leaving the club by himself and why he can do to save the club? People were judging him without even try to knew the main reason why napoli president did it.
He was so skeptical with the performance from his club and it's also really annoying if you are an owner of club. Napoli has no chance anymore to win the competition. What club can do to make sure it will able to perform better till the end of season.
The only choice for napoli to qualify for the UCL next season. I don't even see a better target rather than this. it's caused by napoli can also add more money to the club. There will be many benefits received by napoli. The most important thing will be keeping the UCL spot for the upcoming season.

Napoli has won scudetto last season and club must have higher target compared to the previos match. Things are not going so well for napoli. I think that napoli's president shall not give the new coach a lot of burden. The club played so badly and it goes even worst than before.
I can't even believe how napoli president was doing the bad things to the its club but it's not totally his fault. If spalletti was willing to stay and i thought that the president will allow him.

Cagliari vs Napoli

Cagliari chances to survive at Serie A seems very slim because until week 25 Cagliari still occupy 19th place and they have already to lost 14 times during this season with collect 19 points but i have been notice although Cagliari performance is compeletely messed up this season and they only gets 4 wins but all of those winning results is came from home matches so Napoli have to beware of Cagliari because sometimes they can performing well and make big teams get in trouble moreover Napoli performance is still unstable after several times to changing the manager

Napoli have a problem with their consistency during playing for away matches i think this one of their biggest problem why Napoli unable to defend their title and it proven from their recent records in Serie A that since November last year Napoli was unable to gets the winning results again and the recent records from Napoli is they had suffering 4 loses from 6 away matches and for today match although Napoli is the favourite but their condition is not really good because apparently Napoli players still required more time to adapt with new manager and i can see the bookmakers provide good odds for Napoli @1.88 but i am not sure this option could be the best pick for this match even my predictions is Napoli will be unable to win again and this match will ended to draw

Although maybe I have a different view for the Cagliari vs Napoli match. But I'm also not sure about Napoli this season. But Cagliari shouldn't be a big problem for Napoli. Because Cagliari also lost to Lazio when playing as hosts. And I think Napoli will also manage to beat Cagliari just like Lazio did.

I bet on Napoli winning with a narrow score in this match.

Napoli team is not in good form this season as we know. Their overall performance is very erratic. Is it still possible to consider this group as weak? I would say the Napoli team is not weak at all. They still have the ability to perform well against big teams. But the Napoli team is not able to maintain the continuity of the performance.

Napoli's chances of defeat against Cagliari are slim. Cagliari is not a strong team. Napoli's performance in the last 5 matches against this team has been quite good. Out of 5 matches, Napoli won 3 and drew 2. I would say if Napoli can keep their defense strong in this match they will be able to win.

Bologna vs Verona Today's match between two teams, Bologna team played well from the beginning to the end of the game. Verona team could not score any goals in today's match due to the bad play of the Verona team players.  Team players G. Fabbian scored the 1st goal in 27 minutes and R. Freuler scored the 2nd goal in 65 minutes.

Most of these mediocre teams get punished because they choose to be on the losing end, they don't have what it takes to fight for three solid winning points on the table. Bologna was not here to jeopardize three winning points, they conquered and are standing strong enough to face tough oppositions this season. Hellas Verona boss, Marco Baroni and his team climbs near the relegation zone after their surprising 2-0 defeats against Bologna. This was particularly a game they would have put in their very best but they display relenting efforts, we're did that get them? Losing end right.

Verona team could not score any goals in today's match due to the bad play of the Verona team players.  Team players G. Fabbian scored the 1st goal in 27 minutes and R.

In my opinion the Bologna team played really well in today game against Verona. They did a great job throughout the match. On the other hand it looked like the Verona team had a hard time making a difference in the game because they didn't score any goals. We should recognize the good play of players like G. Fabbian and R. Freuler from the Bologna team who scored important goals during the game.

Verona team could not score any goals in today's match due to the bad play of the Verona team players.  Team players G. Fabbian scored the 1st goal in 27 minutes and R. Freuler scored the 2nd goal in 65 minutes.

Bologna successfully maintained their good performances and with this winning, they created pressure on competitors that will play later on like Atalanta, Roma, Lazio, Fiorentina and Napoli.

Bologna did not start this season as a potential underdog but they are surprising all of us by chasing the fourth position very seriously.

Napoli's chances of defeat against Cagliari are slim. Cagliari is not a strong team. Napoli's performance in the last 5 matches against this team has been quite good. Out of 5 matches, Napoli won 3 and drew 2. I would say if Napoli can keep their defense strong in this match they will be able to win.

The return of Osimhen can help Napoli in next months if he won't get other injures and absent in future. Napoli generally perform bad in this season and it looks unacceptable to see a champion which has to defend Scudetto is struggling beyond not only top four, but top six.

Napoli's chance to get in top four is very small and they firstly have to aim at top six to join either UEFA Conference League or Europa League next season. When they enter top six, they can think of higher position and see how good their chance to achieve it is at that time.

I agree with you, but I think Napoli can beat Cagliari. Consider the big picture. Cagliari shouldnt trouble Napoli despite their inconsistencies. Cagliari is near the bottom for a reason. They havent done well against top teams. However, Napoli can challenge Cagliari even in poor form. This match could be a turning point for them with key players back and no major injuries. A win here might boost morale and help them climb the standings. Im betting on Napoli because of their history against Cagliari and because this match is a wonderful chance to get back on track.

Verona team could not score any goals in today's match due to the bad play of the Verona team players.  Team players G. Fabbian scored the 1st goal in 27 minutes and R. Freuler scored the 2nd goal in 65 minutes.

Bologna victory could have been predicted before the match started because Verona had not given an impressive performance from the previous few matches, whereas Bologna is currently very enthusiastic about being able to catch up to 3rd place and after the victory against Verona, Bologna position is a little closer to Milan, with a difference of 4 points which makes Milan I was a little worried because the 4 point difference was very close while Milan was prioritizing the match at UEL.

In fact, if Joshua Zirkzee kick was on target, Bologna score could have been 3-0 and Giovanni Fabbian performance was extraordinary, not only did he get 1 score in this match but he also provided 1 assist which was quite impressive.
He is still young and Bologna has the opportunity to develop the talents of young players like Giovanni Fabbian who currently still need a lot of experience and currently Bologna is a very strong club that will become a new challenger for 3rd place if consistent success in the next few matches.

[Smack That Ace]

Milan will play a pretty tough match against Atalanta. I think there is a chance that they will not get all three points from this match. And that is going to give Juventus a very good opportunity to make a bigger difference with them in terms of points. As we all know Juventus is only ahead by 2 points right now from Milan.
 
Yes, it is also true that Juventus has fallen off pretty badly. But there is a chance for them to get ahead by more points if Milan somehow manages to lose this one or even drop points. Because the next match of Juventus is going to be pretty easy .

AC Milan now going to face Atlanta after suffering two defeats in away matches with they concede 7 goals in these both matches which is surely worst from them and Atlanta current performance is also at their top with this all match is going to be interested in the both teams because if Atlanta which is also already having two wins against AC Milan into their last two games against them able to win then their chances could be improved for the taking third spot from them and Juventus which is also suffering feel some pressure because they are also lost 10 points in last four games.

Currently, Inter Milan and Atlanta both are at the same level of performance and this is making good changes at the top of Serie A before end of this season if Atlanta won this match then surely they will be having advantage as they have one match in hand and this will make them good competitor for the top four spots which is currently challenging after Bologna and Roma improved performance.

Both of them definitely are performing similarly at this moment. I  thought I was going to search for which team had done better when both of them met earlier. but I don't think that is going to make any difference in this match. because in this match they are definitely going to be close competitors and both of them are going to try to win the match.

Something actually caught my eye which is that Atalanta has actually been better in this season in terms of defence, right?
So far in this season, they have conceded 23 goals which is 8 goals less compared to what Milan have conceded.

On the other hand, I know Milan have been better in terms of attacking. But not too much, right?
Milan has scored 49 and Atalanta has scored 47.

So Even though I  thought that this match was probably going to be a 3 pointer for Milan,  this makes me think twice about it. I believe this is going to be a pretty close match. Any outcome is possible to be honest

[Velvet78]

... Like Paul Pogba who was banned for doping. ...

I don't think anything would have changed for Juventus if they had Pogba in the squad now.    Because it seems like Pogba has already finished professional football in his mind. Firstly he was getting injured very often so this directly affected his career in a bad way. After that there is this ban situation as well. His presence at the team must be giving Juventus pain.

They have been paying him salary and getting nothing back from him. They should have found a way to get rid of him last summer. Now I don't think there would be any European team desiring him. Maybe an offer from Saudi Arabia could save Juventus. If doping ban lasts four years then Juventus will have no other choice than releasing him or waiting until the end of his contract.

Sassuolo v Empoli

Sassuolo StartXI: 4-2-3-1

Andrea Consigli; Marcus Pedersen; Ruan; Gian Marco Ferrari; Josh Doig; Daniel Boloca; Matheus Henrique; Cristian Volpato; Kristian Thorstvedt; Armand Laurienté; Andrea Pinamonti

Empoli StartXI: 3-4-2-1

Elia Caprile; Ardian Ismajli; Sebastian Walukiewicz; Sebastiano Luperto; Matteo Cancellieri; Răzvan Marin; Youssef Maleh; Liberato Cacace; Nicolò Cambiaghi; Viktor Kovalenko; Alberto Cerri

I see this match as an opportunity for Empoli to distance themselves from relegation zone despite Sassuolo have home record than away but with the recent record, I don't think Sassuolo have strength to withstand this game because their last five matches were very poor, they only had a draw, while Empoli are unbeaten through out their last five matches and this alone is the only hope I have for them that the courage of winning will still be with them, apart from that they have to be careful because among the five matches Sassuolo had four were all away matches and they draw when they host the remaining one.

I see this match as an opportunity for Empoli to distance themselves from relegation zone despite Sassuolo have home record than away but with the recent record, I don't think Sassuolo have strength to withstand this game because their last five matches were very poor, they only had a draw, while Empoli are unbeaten through out their last five matches and this alone is the only hope I have for them that the courage of winning will still be with them, apart from that they have to be careful because among the five matches Sassuolo had four were all away matches and they draw when they host the remaining one.

Sassuolo might have some home advantage other than that they seem to be on poorer form than Empoli. Both of these team had last month played with Juventus, Empoli played a draw while Sassuolo lost by three goals. Sassuolo lost 4 of their last 5 games while Empoli lost none.
So I believe the game would be a tough contest with advantage to Empoli. Though the result might not affect any of those team much as they are well ahead of relegation zone and well below qualifying for conference cup.
Later today, Monza would play against Salernitana. It should be an easy win for Monza considering how poor the season for Salernitana had been.
