Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[imamusma]

Just as the season is coming to an end, Napoli are now getting in form and on top of the game to contest with other teams for the league title. I wouldn’t say it is already too late for them but their consistency in winning all of their remaining matches will determine what will be their fate by the end of the season. The point gap is still very much big but if they can continue winning, some of the teams might drop points and that will help them to go up the standings faster than they imagine now. It was a great win for them against Juventus and that should serve  as a booster to them to take the remaining matches serious including the small matches that they might want to underrate now. They were the league champions last season and it won’t make any sense if they don’t even finish on top four of the standings to get a promotion to the champions league competition again by next year. They now have the decision to make now on what position they will finish by end of the season.

Napoli are now showing signs of consistency under new manager Francesco Calzona, the win over Juventus was the highlight of their best performance so far. Because Lazio and Fiorentina dropping points, Napoli managed to temporarily climb to 7th place in the standings, 8 points adrift of Bologna who occupy the last zone in the Champions League. Previously, many thought that Napoli would suffer another defeat when facing Juventus, but the opposite happened and they managed to get an additional three points. Napoli opportunity to break into the top four is still open, but they must be able to secure full points in the remaining matches ahead.

Bologna, Roma and Atalanta will face tough matches next week, and it is an opportunity for Francesco Calzona to bring Napoli up to 6th place, because they will face relatively easy opponents, namely Torino. If Bologna, Roma and Atalanta lose points, Napoli scenario for breaking into the Champions League zone will be easier. However, Napoli still have several tough matches to face in the remaining Serie A matches ahead, including facing Inter Milan, which is a strong candidate to win the Scudetto this season.

Napoli's recent results (two wins in five matches) gives me hope, despite their uphill quest to climb into the top 4. The 8-point margin from Bologna is frightening, and beating Atalanta and Roma won't be easy. The win over Juventus is a huge morale boost. I think Napoli's season might start with this win. Napoli can prove their resilience in the tough match against Torino. I'm confident Coach Calzna can handle this difficult period tactically. If Napoli can qualify for Europe by season's end, it would be a big turnaround from their slow start

Napoli success win two consecutive matches against Sassoulo and Juventus last match, its good start for Napoli returning back to the top fourth position standing behind 8 points left to catch up Bologna on 4th position standings. I don't think close the opportunity of Napoli to raise top fourth position standings if can consistent performance on several matches left.
Next match against Torino should not problem to make new winning trend become three consecutives matches, but Napoli will face two difficult match after facing Torino with second leg match against Barcelona on Champion League and later face Inter Milan with solid performance without losing points in last several matches.

Napoli should secure their three points when facing Inter Milan upcoming two week later, its very crucial if can bet Inter will make the opponent face in several matches left.

Knowing that Napoli has already come back to their form since their best striker came back after the AFCON finals, their performance is also very impressive, but seeing the way they are playing now with a fire of strength and nice formation of the players makes me have hope in them that they won’t find it hard to meet up to the top 5 in the table because they have been showing out many unbelievable performances so far, which make them even go on a draw with Barcelona in the Champions League, which is the first leg, which I am quite sure of course if care not talking; they will win Barcelona and end up knocking them out in the second leg because, up until now, the performance of Barcelona has not been stable, which is why I think Napoli can do it.

Moreover, if there is Osimhen in the game, they will definitely have the point that they need to be in the top five in the table, and they can do that in their next match against Torino. which, if they really are opportune to win Barcelona in the Champions League, will be a great achievement for them, but actually Napoli itself is surprising many already, so there are many surprises that we will anticipate from Napoli soon.

You are indeed following the transformation going on with Napoli. They have shown huge difference in their attacking as well as the midfield in their last two matches. Winning Juventus was a nice proof that the can still achieve great result this season and a good test of their courage. Their new matches are very tough and demanding except that against Torino tomorrow which I think they will win with little stress. After this match they will be facing Inter Milan followed by Atalanta, two teams that are also in their best form. It will be interesting to see how Napoli will be able to navigate through.

I think the last spot of top four will belong to Bologna or Roma at the end of the season. Which one do you think will be able to make it? 

Both of them have been on a really good run firstly. Especially Bologna haven't lost any point for six weeks. However they are going to play against Inter in two days which shows they could be in serious trouble. But actually Bologna could still have a chance to collect at least one point. Because Inter have their rematch in the Champions League four days after this game. A rotation is possible to be seen because of that. Meanwhile I think Atalanta's job against Juventus is quite difficult and they could lose. 

As Roma, Atalanta, Napoli, Fiorentina and Lazio are not so far from themselves you see, it's still open and available for those clubs who definitely works hard so they could finish up. I would love a chance for Bologna honestly but it seems like Napoli would come in with a lot of wave to snatch the too four.
Failure to qualify for the Champions League Competition would be a direct passage for players in Napoli to finally leave.

Same goes with Juventus and Ac Milan as they're not so far apart from themselves both. Juventus indeed would want to replace Max Allegri for he has also contributions related to the success of the Old Ladies ( Juventus )
Atalanta also should let go of their head coach finally. He has been in charger for more than four years but yet again, no much lucks for em.

Recently, Napoli's performances have seen a significant improvement, particularly evident in their victory over Juventus. This win underscores Napoli's enhanced capabilities and resilience. Despite Juventus' reputation as a strong team, Napoli emerged victorious, showcasing their strengthened form. With Napoli's current impressive form, if they can sustain it, they stand a good chance of securing a spot in the top four and qualifying for the next season's Champions League.Bologna currently occupies a position ahead of Napoli and is also performing commendably, yet Napoli can still attain a top-four finish if they remain determined and persevere in their pursuit of success.

With Calzona now for Napoli it slightly gives them a new ambition to be able to make the situation better to keep competing for a position in the top 4 because although at this time they still have to continue to prove themselves but slowly the performance is leading to a better situation now.

Currently Napoli are starting to crawl little by little unlike before who always played badly and with the last few wins it was enough for them to put pressure on some of the clubs that are above them now.

Currently they are in 7th place but with the remaining matches owned and with the condition of the points that are still not too far from Bologna then I think it can still be overtaken if indeed their performance is getting better for the rest of the season now.

Napoli could still get something really good out of this season in the serie A but they are definitely not going to be able to defend their title again this season because it's definitely going to take they really a whole lot to get to the top and displace the team at the top of the table and take the lead to winning the trophy again and defend the trophy, even. If they get back inform to winning ways they lack enough time to achieve that.

Last season was one of the best for Napoli, they were able to win the league title for the first time in a very long while, this has been their greatest achievement in a very long while but this season has really been different a d it's looking like they are definitely not going to be able to fix that all again. Next season one of their key player osimhen may be exiting the team and it's impact on this team will definitely be obvious just like it did when he was absent as he went for a national call back home.to help defend his country, Napoli winning Juventus was a very good move for them as even their confidence increase.

Neither Juventus nor Napoli will be able to win the trophy this season, they will definitely try to finish top four but even Napoli literally may have to struggle to get to the top four but I'm optimistic about their new form and if they are able to maintain it well enough, it's very much possible they will be able to finish at number four in the table but beyond that they may have to work much harder and they may not have all the time as the season is far spent already.

If Napoli effort has come sooner, it would have been better but to me, what they are doing now is like trying to move a truck that has been abandoned in the forest but some how it has been brought back to life but some things had been damaged in the truck. That's the only scenario I can picture from this their performance because despite all of these, they are right below Atlanta in number 7 places on the table. Their dream of next year Champions League is buried for now maybe next year.

How many points are they away from Torino that makes you think Napoli are better than Torino, the Atlanta team are even ahead of them in the table which means that if Napoli want to be consider a place in the Europa League, they need to have atleast 3 wins to make that place which after they have to continue to win their games otherwise they are not going for any important league than Seria A next season.

Inter Milan are winning the scudetto this season, no striving harder results but maintaining consistency in winning matches. Always on different stage and aiming for important winnings. Napoli new boss, Francesco Calzona have passed important test and this alone have given the club a new dimension to focused on the important winnings in the system. Napoli have more tougher opposition to meet but they just have to ensure winning ought to be secure in all round competitions, though it's not easy but achieving them shouldn't be challenging.

The only way for Napoli to appear in European competition next season is to win in the remaining matches this season, if they still lose points then it will just be a daydream. The arrival of Calzona as the new manager seems to have given Napoli an injection of enthusiasm, because so far they have managed to appear unbeaten, even though they have drawn in several matches.

Napoli most realistic chance may be to finish in the Europa League zone, while hoping if several teams currently occupying that position stumble and lose points, and they continue to be consistent without losing or drawing. Napoli victory over Juventus may have been too late to fix the situation instantly, but who knows, they will be lucky when the end of the season approaches.

Next Napoli will face Torino, I think it is an easy match to win, and they can continue their positive trend so they have the opportunity to get closer to the European zone. The dynamics of competition in the race for tickets to the Champions League are now more interesting, because Inter are already running alone at the top of the standings in the hunt for the Scudetto.

[Leviathan.007]

I believe a biggest competitor of Napoli in this race will be Roma which have more experience in top four racing and Roma are on fire with De Rossi too.

Everyone probably knows that Napoli is in a bad period so we can't expect much from this club, even though last season Napoli gave a surprise to the Serie A clubs, that doesn't mean they will be rampant in controlling the match. In fact, it is very clear that AS Roma has an attraction.  of all people, when De Rossi was appointed as Roma's new coach and this capital club showed significant changes in the several matches they have played so far, the positive value of De Rossi's figure can change all of AS Roma's games and can even be said to live with his cold hands.  , so it is very difficult if Napoli is a strong candidate in the fight for 4th place at this time..

Daniele De Rossi had an amazing performance since he joined the team, Roma had many problems and with Mourinho in this team, they couldn't get results at all.
They spent lots of money to hire many players during the summer when Mourinho was working there and they still could get good results when they put this team under pressure to get Mourinho fired the team and now with De Rossi, they have perfect results.
Their winning rate with the new coach is 70 percent and won seven games in the ten games they had at home.

Napoli have more tougher opposition to meet but they just have to ensure winning ought to be secure in all round competitions, though it's not easy but achieving them shouldn't be challenging.

No one can resist the strength of Intermilan, they managed to win five times in a row and this is a very good achievement and as you said, Intermilan is now positive that they will be the winners of the Serie A League this season because of the distance in points between positions The first and second are 15 winning points and I don't think they will be caught up because for Juventus it requires a very hard effort and it feels very impossible to catch up because I don't think Juventus will necessarily win in the next 6 matches.

I still have this much hope in Napoli that they can be able to navigate and pass through those teams if they want. I am not also removing the Inter Milan clash which everyone believes Inter Milan are the best and they can’t be won by a team like Napoli which just recently got their stance back in the league. The defending champions have just woke up from slumber and I think it is too late for them to fight for the league title but can still fight to finish in the top four positions in the league which is still quite competitive at the moment also. They need to remain consistent, put more efforts into their game in order to come out victorious in the end.

It looks like Roma is lucky to have a new coach like De Rossi. Just look at how Roma destroyed their opponents in the Europa League with a fairly large score of 4-0. And the opponents they face are not easy opponents either. Because Brighton is one of the clubs that is quite respected in the Premier League, even though this season Brighton has experienced a decline in performance. But still scoring 4 goals against Brighton is not an easy thing. But I'm also not surprised by AS Roma's win. Because they are also the hosts of the match. It's just that the number of goals scored far exceeded my expectations. Brighton seems to be having a bad season this time. This is different from their performance last season which was much more reliable.

You are right that AS Roma are lucky to have signed De Rossi. but for De Rossi he is also lucky to have the opportunity to become coach of AS Roma replacing Mourinho. And De Rossi was also lucky because he was able to make AS Roma improve quite rapidly, both in Serie A and in the European League. This will also put De Rossi's reputation as a young coach in the spotlight of other big clubs in Europe. In essence, Roma and De Rossi will have good luck together if they continue their good results this season.

I personally didn't think Brighton could lose so easily to AS Roma. However, this shows that the quality of the clubs in Serie A cannot be underestimated. either in the European League or in the Champions League.

De Rossi came and unlocked Roma players' potential attacking power. He actually changed the tactics and let the team play more attacking that is very understandable as De Rossi used to play for Roma many years with beauty football even he was a central defensive midfielder.

Times with Totti, Montella, Taddei, Vucinic, Mancini and coaches that let them played one of most beautiful football in Serie A. They just lacked of luckiness to win Scudetto over years since 2000 - 2001 season. Hopefully De Rossi will have some happy achievement with Roma in this season like ending Serie A in top four and winning Europa League. He has never won any title in Europe with Roma as a player so it is good if he does it with Roma as a coach.

I personally didn't think Brighton could lose so easily to AS Roma. However, this shows that the quality of the clubs in Serie A cannot be underestimated. either in the European League or in the Champions League.

I did not expect it too but Brighton in this match, shown that they were weak mentally. Their players from goalkeeper to defenders made many mistakes and luckily for them, Roma players did not take advantage all mistakes from Brighton players to score more goals.

Yes I also think Roma did really well by beating Brighton 4-0 in the Europa League. De Rossi seems to be doing a good job as the new coach. But we should remember that the game was played at Roma home stadium which might have helped them may be. By the way their performance was also good. Brighton hasn't been doing well this season so the result wasn't a big surprise. I'm curious to see how Roma will do in their upcoming games with De Rossi  coaching.

Napoli are now showing signs of consistency under new manager Francesco Calzona, the win over Juventus was the highlight of their best performance so far. Because Lazio and Fiorentina dropping points, Napoli managed to temporarily climb to 7th place in the standings, 8 points adrift of Bologna who occupy the last zone in the Champions League. Previously, many thought that Napoli would suffer another defeat when facing Juventus, but the opposite happened and they managed to get an additional three points. Napoli opportunity to break into the top four is still open, but they must be able to secure full points in the remaining matches ahead.

Yes, after Napoli changed coaches, their playing style was very different and much better than when coached by the previous coach. Perhaps the reason that throughout this season the results obtained by Napoli have always been less than optimal, the main factor seems to be due to the tactics and strategies of the previous coach which did not suit the playing style of the Napoli players. Because the proof is that now their tactics and strategy have been changed by the new coach, Napoli are starting to get back up and are ready to compete for tickets to enter the Champions League. Apart from that, in the Champions League which is currently underway, Napoli will face Barcelona in the second leg of the round of 16. With an aggregate of 1-1, I think Napoli have high hopes of beating Barcelona and getting into the last 8 of the Champions League.

Apart from that, tomorrow Napoli will face Torino in Serie A. Maybe in this match Napoli can avenge their defeat in the previous match. The reason is that in the previous meeting, Napoli was soundly defeated by Torino with a score of 3-0. So with Napoli's epic return to form, I am sure that Napoli will be able to beat Torino in tomorrow's match.

Maybe if Francesco Calzona took charge of Napoli earlier then Napoli might not be in such a bad ranking as they are now. But the opportunity to improve the ranking is still open. Even though there aren't many games left this season. But I am sure that with their current coach, Francesco Calzona, Napoli will be able to at least finish in 5th place. But to get to the top 4 I think that is almost impossible. Because there is a fairly large difference in points. or maybe napoli can work hard in the UCL. even though the opponent they faced was a tough opponent. Because, up to now, Barcelona is still strong in the Laliga rankings. So in the second leg of the round of 16 in the UCL, we can be sure that Napoli will have quite a difficult time. Because after all, the position as the visiting team will be quite tough.

Management was too pushy so they appointed the wrong coach and the change in coach that was made previously really didn't have any effect and Napoli's performance actually declined compared to last season. After Francesco Calzona took over as coach, Napoli's performance improved, where they managed to hold Barcelona to a draw in the Champions League and beat Juventus in Serie A. Napoli's performance improved after being coached by Francesco Calzona and their playing style became more coordinated because he combined attack and defense quite consistently.

Now Francesco Calzona's tough task is to beat Barcelona in the second leg and even though it looks a little difficult, that doesn't mean they can't do it. The reason is that Barcelona is also in an unstable condition and Napoli still has a big chance of qualifying for the next round when they face Barcelona at Camp Nou.
