Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[alankasman]

It is difficult for any coach to bring Napoli back to what it was in the Spalletti era. The President of Napoli, who is known to be very stubborn and does not fully trust the coach, makes it difficult for this team to develop, even though the Partenopei would already be a fairly solid team in Serie A if it were not for the President's intervention.

How do you know that the President of Napoli has a stubborn character in managing the Napoli club.
Failing to win against Torino could allow Torino to play better than Napoli. I only consider intervention and not trusting the coach as a baseless reason because before playing Torino, Napoli managed to beat Juventus, which clearly means that Juventus' quality is better than Torino.

Juventus is in second place. Torino is in 10th place. I don't believe your statement regarding what you say.
Not experiencing defeat is good enough for Napoli.

OMG, it's ended
1 : 1
draw match
How pity Napoli

It's quite unfortunate to see the results. because the euphoria regarding Napoli's performance so far is still quite good. especially under their new coach. And here, Napoli really have a bigger chance to win. but why? Why?

Napoli this season has looked very bad until it has changed coaches twice. and until now Napoli has fallen behind 7 points potentially so 10 points with the current 4th place Bologna. to get a champion league ticket next season is very difficult even though the opportunity is still there.
need spaleti comeback in napoli coach

The draw against Torino has ruined Napoli's chances of at least qualifying for the europa league even though the gap is not that big but it's so hard to catch it. What is wrong with this club? People began praised Canzola as a replacement for the previous coach, but they are pointing their fingers to him. When their favorite team loses to a mediocre team, football fans often get mad at this behavior, and it's a common thing in football. It is completely unacceptable for the fans to see Napoli miss three points. The gamblers are also baffled result from this game. I believe that Napoli needs to address a number of issues available in the clubs. It's all need to get sorted out asap.

The club performed poorly in this game. The new coach did not appear to bring the amazing results that fans expected.  It missed numerous opportunities, and if Napoli continues to perform this poorly, I am sure it will affect that the prices of osimhen and kvarat to plummet significantly.
It would be prefer Napoli to sell them as soon as possible before they lose value. Bologna may be missing three points against intermilan, but I still doubt it. It's becaus bologna can still beat Intermilan in the last head to head matches. It may be eating napoli's chance to get into the europa league. Roma is now sitting at the fifth place position.

Bologna vs Inter is the most important match for me today... Bologna are in fourth place in the standings for a reason... But Inter also have the lead with a huge gap... Inter have a return game against Atletico in the Champions League soon, so I wouldn't be surprised if there is a draw today, but I think both teams will score...

I agree with you that Inter Milan may likely draw against Bologna because they will want to rest some of their important players to be fully ready to play with Athletico Madrid in the Uefa Champions League last 16 matches. Even though Inter Milan loses to Bologna, they will still be leading Juventus by 12 points at the top of the Serie A table.

[tusandii]

Bologna don't have experience to compete for top four position and potentially they will have problems to maintain their good performance in future. It will give chances to Napoli and some other clubs like Roma, Atalanta. Napoli can not control how Bologna play but they can control their performances. It is what they must focus on first and wait for green light from Bologna, Roma and Atalanta.

Don't underestimate underdog teams like Bologna, however, football can still give surprises, even teams with no experience can still compete there if their performance is impressive and that's what Bologna is doing now, they are performing impressively and consistently so they managed to occupy fourth place even though they still have a long way to go. long and AS Roma and Atalanta still have a chance to take that position but Bologna also still has a chance to maintain their strength and for Napoli I don't know whether next season they can compete again in the UCL because their performance is not so stable.

Although Bologna is a small team, Bologna has an extremely successful season with 4th place on the Serie A rankings. Bologna showed their bravery in a decisive match to the top 4 race against Atalanta, They had an impressive comeback to help them take 4th place. The upcoming challenge for Bologna is extremely difficult when they face the strongest team this season, Inter. The gap with the chasing group is 4 points. Roma and Napoli are two clubs that will likely surpass Bologna to take 4th place. Because both have just replaced the coach, those coaches are bringing a new source of wind to the club, which is gradually stabilizing. Don't forget last season, Napoli was the defending champions. Although this year they cannot keep the Scudetto. But Napoli will have to make a lot of effort to reach the top 4.

In my opinion, Bologna is not a small club, they have a pretty good history in Serie A, they are recorded as having won 7 titles in Serie A, so don't underestimate them as a small team, even though their performance in the last few seasons has not been that impressive, this season it seems like they are starting to did their best and have returned to their best performance to compete for UCL tickets, Bologna proved to be putting a lot of pressure on Atalanta even though they played away from home and were able to win, bringing them to their current position, and to face Inter Milan it was quite difficult for Bologna but at least they can still maximize their draw if they are not able to beat Inter considering Inter's very strong performance, hopefully the home factor can make Bologna play a little surprising because the teams below really hope that Bologna will lose and slip from their position so that there is still a gap to overtake them.

Bologna won some Scudetto but a last time they won it is 60 years ago.

Serie A
Winners (7): 1924–25,[17]1928–29,[17] 1935–36,[17] 1936–37,[17] 1938–39,[17] 1940–41,[17] 1963–64[17]

[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bologna_FC_1909

They even were not good enough to win Coppa Italia with a last title is in 1973 - 1974 season.

this season it seems like they are starting to did their best and have returned to their best performance to compete for UCL tickets, Bologna proved to be putting a lot of pressure on Atalanta even though they played away from home and were able to win, bringing them to their current position

So far they play well and they beat Atalanta very impressively but they must work hard and continue their good performances to secure their fourth position as Roma, Atalanta are strong too and not too far from Bologna.

and to face Inter Milan it was quite difficult for Bologna but at least they can still maximize their draw if they are not able to beat Inter considering Inter's very strong performance, hopefully the home factor can make Bologna play a little surprising because the teams below really hope that Bologna will lose and slip from their position so that there is still a gap to overtake them.

The match with Inter Milan will be key for Bologna, if they lose, they will no longer have good difference to Roma as with recent form, Roma will win their match this week. When a difference between two clubs become smaller, Bologna will feel more pressure and might fail to defend their position. It can happen with any inexperienced team in a tough race.

The point difference between Inter and their rivals is very high, and I do not find it right to say that Inter will definitely win in this match. The match against Atletico is much more important for them, they should not make mistakes there.
They won't want to tire their players too much in this match, I don't think they will score too many goals, but I don't think they will play so badly that they lose

Bologna might be has 7 Scudetto but it just happend apprimately 60 years ago and since that year Bologna was never fight for the Scudetto again and they plenty to playing at Serie B and before this season i would considers Bologna is only small team but indeed since promote on season 2015 Bologna was never to relegated again to Serie B although since that year Bologna was several times to changing manager but basically Bologna always be accomplished their target for each season to survive in Serie A and this season their target is very different because Bologna has been decide to change their target and Thiago Motta want this team to playing at Champion League next season

About the match against Inter Milan since handled by Thiago Motta Bologna was change became an strong team and 51 points from 27 matches is showing they are very consistent this season and since last season Bologna has successfully to improved their meeting records from Inter Milan with gets 2 draws and 1 win so this is big challenge for Inzaghi whether he can bringing Inter Milan to get the winning result or Inter Milan will be failed to win again and i was predict this match will ended to draw but i have been thinking Inter Milan position on league standings was quite safe and they have important schedule against Atletico Madrid on Champion league so i assume he will do some rotation to Inter Milan squad today and if this is true then Bologna has slightly chance to win the match

Bologna's good performance continues. Against Atalanta they were down at half time but came back to win the three points. They also came from behind to win against Lazio. They have won six weeks in a row in the league. Inter are at the top of the league and are the biggest contenders for the title this year. They have won 12 official matches in a row.

Bologna is one of the teams that can challenge Inter the most at the moment and this match is very open to surprises. Inter also have a Champions League rematch against Atletico Madrid weekdays. Inter's comfort in the league and their focus on the Champions League could be an advantage for Bologna. Bologna can win this match.

It would be unwise to underestimate Bologna when facing Inter Milan, as both teams have demonstrated strong performances this season. Despite Inter Milan's recent successes, past encounters between the two teams have shown a balanced record, indicating that today's match could go either way or even end in a draw. While Inter Milan currently exhibits better form, playing at home could give Bologna an additional advantage, potentially altering the outcome in their favor.

Moreover, considering Inter Milan's forthcoming Champions League fixture against Atletico Madrid, scheduled for Wednesday, there's a possibility that they may choose to rest some key players or limit their playing time. This strategic decision could level the playing field, providing Bologna with an opportunity to capitalize on their good form and secure a victory. Therefore, predicting the winner of this match becomes exceedingly challenging due to various factors such as recent performance, home advantage, and squad rotation influenced by upcoming fixtures.

I agree with you that Inter Milan may likely draw against Bologna because they will want to rest some of their important players to be fully ready to play with Athletico Madrid in the Uefa Champions League last 16 matches. Even though Inter Milan loses to Bologna, they will still be leading Juventus by 12 points at the top of the Serie A table.

Even though Inter lost by Bologna, of course it will not change Inter position at the top of the Serie A standings, but yes, if Inter still prioritizes prestige then Inter will also continue to play well so as not to be beaten by Bologna in this match. But yes, if Inter really puts their focus on the second leg against Ateltico then of course Inter will not play optimally in this match, of course to keep their squad in top condition and to avoid injuries. So indeed, with these considerations in mind, I also don't think Inter will win because it could be that Bologna still has to strengthen its position in the top four, so Bologna will take advantage of this home match to still get a good result to win or just draw. But indeed, at least two goals or maybe three goals can still occur in this match.

[DanWalker]

A draw against Torino is certainly very detrimental, especially since the next opponent they face is Inter Milan, which might be more difficult to beat. Now Napoli are in 7th place in the standings and it looks like they will find it difficult to penetrate the European zone.

Napoli are in a very difficult situation. It's going to be very difficult for them to make it to a European competition spot.
After scoring 6 against Sassuolo, and winning Juventus after that, I felt Napoli was getting their form back. I know they have the players and they just need to start winning again to get their confidence and form back. They didn't play well against Torino and made the mistake of conceding a few minutes after taking the lead.

I guess their Champions League second-leg tie against Barcelona is what's in their minds. They are in a very good position to knock Barcelona out because a lot of important Barcelona players are injured.
In the league, Napoli plays Inter next, that's a match they'll most likely lose because, with the current form of Inter, Napoli is in no shape to take a point from them. Then after Inter Milan, they'll face Atalanta. It's also a difficult match, but Napoli can win.

Napoli is in a really bad shape right now. And in the last match, Napoli missed so many chances that it was really unbelievable. And at the same time the goalkeeper of Torino who was unbelievable in this match as well. He stopped almost everything. And the way Torino actually leveled the score, with that overhead by kick was incredible.

Anyway in the next match, which is the Champions League match, Napoli is going to play against Barcelona. And I really believe that Barcelona has the upper hand in this match. It is going to be played in the home ground of Barcelona if I am not wrong. So that is going to give Barcelona the edge

Napoli 1 - 1 Torino

An unpleasant result before a trip to Barcelona. In the sense that, judging by the statistics, Napoli was closer to victory, but it all ended in a draw:

Shots - 22:11
Shots on target – 8:2
Corners – 13:7

In Serie A, everything is already lost and it was probably not worth wasting energy on this game, but for the sake of own confidence, 3 points would be a well-deserved result today. I hope Napoli has exhausted its limit of unluck and in the game with Barcelona random at least will not be against them.

changing coaches has a bad impact if you can't get the right coach because the team's future will depend on the coach, so the coach will play an important role for the players, as we can see the draw against Torino won't be surprising because it could have been predicted beforehand if Napoli performance is very unstable and I also often avoid betting on every Napoli match for the very clear reason that Calzona will not be able to provide any change.
from 5 matches only getting 2 wins is not a good result because Napoli still has high quality players so only getting 2 wins is just a bad thing.
In that match I only saw that Osimhen did not appear as usual, he had several opportunities but couldn't score, it was Kvaratskhelia who managed to score and if Osimhen managed to take advantage of this opportunity, he would definitely win, but still all of this is still the impact of the change of coach.

I hope Napoli has exhausted its limit of unluck and in the game with Barcelona random at least will not be against them.

The draw made Napoli hopes of breaking into the top four of the Serie A standings again difficult to achieve, the victory over Juventus last week cannot be used as a full benchmark, Torino thwarted Napoli move to overtake Atalanta this week. Playing at home failed to be utilized properly, Napoli were forced to share points by Torino and I think the two goals scored today were quite beautiful. Since Francesco Calzona became manager, Napoli have never lost, but several draws are certainly not the solution to finishing in the Champions League zone.

Napoli decline in performance this season is far from estimation, the appointment of Francesco Calzona only aims to save Napoli from an even worse decline. A draw against Torino is certainly not good capital to face Barcelona in their next match, Napoli chances of qualifying for the quarter finals of the Champions League are relatively low. On paper, Barcelona is more favored in many factors, including being more stable in collecting points in their domestic league than Napoli.

[QueenVera]

Honestly I hope if Napoli can be consistent to get wins in their remaining matches this season and hope Napoli can reach the last 4, but the draw obtained against Torino makes me doubt if they can reach 4th place, the draw in that match makes Napoli's journey more difficult especially later if Atlanta and Roma win in other matches then Napoli chances of catching up will be even more difficult because the point difference is large.


Even now Napoli are increasingly being pushed by Fiorentina and surely their position will drop by one strip if Fiorentina can get a victory from Roma, I do not expect that the consistent play of Napoli in the last two weeks must end in a team that is actually weaker than they are now, even though they have actually managed to win first in that game,  But somehow they were caught off guard until finally Torino could reply in a relatively short time, the achievement of one point clearly makes Napoli chances of reaching the last 4 have been closed now because of the draw and if Napoli do not play in European competition next season then it is certain that they may also lose Osimhen who really has ambitions to play in European competition next season.

Barely 11 weeks left to the end of the season and Napoli are long behind Bologna, yes, they'd want to strive to gain enough points so as to get tickets unto next season's European contests but it'll be a difficult task for them because even if they managed to cover up the points gap now, how can they be so sure that Bologna would sit back and be consistently poor in these last weeks. Last season, Napoli were a better side even in season's before last but this season, there's been a big switch to that and now it's seeming like a difficult task. Most less active teams of before have now taken it up on themselves to make long lasting differences this season and they've sure been consistent at it. It'll be difficult to break small teams as they've just developed a hidden confidence and strength to maintain their stiffness and just keep being ahead this season.

 Napoli can only reduce the track of points gaps between the teams but I'll really be longing that they're able to outstand and come on top the table to ensure the ticket  is kept intact.Yesterday's game would have been a bit of a push to the top spot on the Serie A table for Napoli but sadly they weren't able to maximize their chances and advantages possessed which in turn ended the game in a draw against Torino who are currently a team not really fighting for the top spot and have as well been able to secure their safe spot on the league table. A 3 point victory is very much essential for Napoli. Just 10 games left and they've got a task of finishing the season in the fourth placed position on the league standings.

 They don't have to continue the season at this tempo and performance rate either. Their last games have been fruitful and it's believed that they can still make a difference, just that yesterday's game would have been an added advantage for them. They were the host and so they should have garnered up all useful paces in them to cover up the position they are just to be able to get out of it. Let's just watch how the next weeks would turn out for them and hopefully they'll be able to make bigger use of the chances before them to finish the season at a positive spot.

[Smack That Ace]

Bologna vs Inter is the most important match for me today... Bologna are in fourth place in the standings for a reason... But Inter also have the lead with a huge gap... Inter have a return game against Atletico in the Champions League soon, so I wouldn't be surprised if there is a draw today, but I think both teams will score...

Who is the best among them buddy? It's going to be a tough match that we thought because it looks like both teams have been able to win great, even I didn't think that Bologna could reach now, because we know Bologna's expectations are not like that.

If Inter Milan also lose like Inzhagi will not matter, they will definitely focus more on the Champion League than Serie A, which is far adrift of points, it can be said that Inter Milan's position is very safe and difficult to reach other teams.

57 minutes have been played in this match and as expected, inter is leading right now. The current score is 1-0. Of course, there is still quite a long time to go in this match. But I believe Inter should still be able to win this match. The first goal came from a defender though. Anyway inter has not been able to dominate the match by themselves to be honest even though they are leading. They are getting a good competition from their opponent. Let's see if they end up conceding or not.

good luck

They didn't deserve a draw if we go by match statistics, but that's how it was, they managed to score the first goal and in a short time Torino managed to equalize the score which means Napoli played carelessly by allowing their defense to be easily broken by Torino. It's true what you said, they don't have any mission anymore in the league, everyone has gone in this competition, the only thing they can possibly fight for is the UCL competition, what they need next is a win, hopefully they can play well there later.

1-1 draw isn't really a bad result in my opinion, considering the fact that they got a Champions League game to play next week, at least they got a point, which is much better than losing the game, I kind of think their performance was really affected due to the fact that they got a bigger match ahead to face, and those players played in such a way that they won't sustain any injuries that could spoil their chances of winning their Champions League game come next week.

This was an unfortunate result and I didn’t expect the match to end like this because Napoli as we all thought were back to their winning ways and would have won the match against Torino yesterday, whom are a smaller team when compared to Napoli. A draw is still a fair result to me, at least they had to share the points with them and not lose all three points. Their next match should be full with a lot of courage and confidence and not allow themself to be regard by the result in the Serie A game. They will get over it and play well in their next match against Barcelona which is expected to be more competitive than the Serie A match.

Inter is winning once again.
This is a good news for everyone behind them but not for Bologna ofcourse.

Motta is doing a incredible season, where he will be next year? in Milan?
