Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

In the end, the match between Fiorentina and AS Roma achieved a 2:2 draw, in fact AS Roma played more dominantly in that match and was able to put a lot of pressure on the home team as well as Fiorentina who did not want to experience defeat. After AS Roma being one goal behind in the first half played more aggressively and were able to equalize but not long after Fiorentina was able to increase the total goals to 2 goals but Roma was able to create an epic comeback towards the last minute so the match ended in a 2:2 draw and both teams had to be satisfied with the result of sharing the points. AS Roma also improved close to the top four.

AS Roma has now further established itself in the top five of the standings after being able to draw at home to Fiorentina, this result is quite a good result. Because on the other hand, Atalanta, which is also quite close to AS Roma's position, is currently also drawing at home to Juventus, making Juventus have to drop to the top three because Milan was able to win narrowly when they hosted Empoli at their own home. Now the competition for the top four positions in the standings is getting hotter because Bologna must also be able to defend itself there even though they lost at home when they hosted Inter Milan.

AS Roma has now further established itself in the top five of the standings after being able to draw at home to Fiorentina, this result is quite a good result. Because on the other hand, Atalanta, which is also quite close to AS Roma's position, is currently also drawing at home to Juventus, making Juventus have to drop to the top three because Milan was able to win narrowly when they hosted Empoli at their own home. Now the competition for the top four positions in the standings is getting hotter because Bologna must also be able to defend itself there even though they lost at home when they hosted Inter Milan.

Competition is getting tighter now starting to occur between teams such as Roma, Atlanta, Napoli and Bologna, actually the draw is very detrimental for Arsenal because they failed to stay away from Atlanta, but if you look at the match which almost made Roma lose, of course 1 point is very lucky to be obtained by Roma after scoring a saving goal in the 90+5 minutes of the second half,  For now Roma only have a 3-point gap from Bologna who are in the last zone of the Champions League and are still wide open for Roma to be able to take that position from Bologna if they can maintain the consistency of their game towards the end of the season.

Although currently Bologna is still safe from the pursuit of Roma with a difference of 3 points, but I think their chances of staying in the 4th position are unlikely because they have so far often been inconsistent when facing big teams in the league, besides that the match between Roma vs Bologna in week 33 will be decisive for both teams to determine who is entitled to be in the top 4 of Serie A.

In the end, the first half of the Fiorentina vs Roma match ended with a score of 1-0 with the home team still having the advantage. It seems that Roma must first be able to create a strategy to penetrate Fiorentina's defense, which seems quite solid in today's match. In fact, I like Fiorentina's midfield which is very reliable in helping the attack and also helping the defense in a fairly balanced way. De Rossi has to think about something and come up with a better strategy. And I hope the Roma players can play more calmly. And slowly increase the aggressiveness of the attacks. It's just that Fiorentina seemed to be able to find Roma's gap in the first half. For this reason, De Rossi must act quickly and cover this gap for the second half.

First half, Fiorentina looked like they had Roma down. Their strong defence and creative midfield chased Roma. De Rossi needs to study his tactical guide for the second half. Roma tends to come alive in the last stages, as shown by Llorente's ability to turn games around. Roma may be able to cope with the pressure and rediscover their rhythm. The dissatisfaction is compounded by both teams' poor finishes this season. Im curious to see whether Roma can turn the tide and steal a point or three from this match. Roma has a tendency for last-minute surprises.

Sometimes defensive strength do cause a team not to anticipate a potential loss ahead because they will depend so much on their defense that they will doubt any form of penetration which could cause they conceding goals and probably loosing the game and I think such was with the case of fiorentina, they had much faith in their defense that it reduced how well they were feeding their attacks to get goals.

Tho their midfield wasn't a bad one but then Roma had a better attacks that were able to combine creativity with their attacking strength to continually bet the ball inside the post of fiorntina mercilessly till the end of the second half of the game, the first half didn't come with much action and goals as did the second half and that was where the whole interest of the game did dwell as the play and performance were epic and enjoyable to both the fans who were watching and both to none fans who saw the game aswell, I applaud Roma for such a performance.

Roma has continued to build momentum especially in the serie A since after the arrival of their present new coach who replaced Mourinho, Rossi have been able to get around weak and average teams but still finding it very challenging around strong teams and those who in a way equate his kind of strength but I'm trusting that with time he will get a better tactical approach with which he will be able to tackle that.

Roma were a little lucky with the equalizing goal scored by Diego Llorente at the end of the match which made the score even.

Overall Roma's performance was quite impressive in this match, whatever the final result they got, but in my opinion this is a fair result for Roma because it is not easy for them to play at Fiorentina's home ground and Fiorentin is one of the top teams in Serie A. A team , of course it is not easy to play to beat them.

This week, Bologna, who is in 4th place, also suffered a defeat, so Roma have slightly reduced the points gap from Bologna, making the competition for 4th place even more interesting.
I see Roma's performance increasing and I am quite optimistic that they can fulfill their target, namely finishing in the top 4 of the final Serie A standings.

About Roma and this game, that's much that's just being lucky. In fact, they have had good performances since De Rossi started working at Roma and his performance even made the fans happy to see their team get good results in the Serie A games which can even put Roma to be in a better place at the table if they can continue this good performance in the next games.
But in the game between Roma and Fiorentina, Roma was really lucky to get a draw in this match because Fiorentina had many more gaol opportunities than Roma, especially in the first half of the game when Roma was totally shocked by the good performance by Fiorentina.

There is only 1 match remaining this week, namely the Lazio vs Udinese match. And I think we can bet comfortably on this fight. Because we already know which team we should favorite without having to think long. Because even in head to head we can see that Lazio has never lost in the last 5 meetings against Udinese. Udinese has only been able to hold Lazio to a draw a few times. And the rest is always a win for Lazio. And this season Udinese has been very inconsistent. So I think this will be an easy win for Lazio. Moreover, today's match was held at Lazio headquarters. Then the home team will undoubtedly be the favourite.

You are right, during the first half of the game was when Fiorentina was suppose to score a lot of goals but they couldn't make proper use of their chances, and they were only able to score one goal. Assuming they were able to score more than one goal in this first half they would have won the game, because the first half was dominated by them, and they intimidated Roma.

The second half was in favor of Roma, and they took advantage of it properly which was a great moment for them, after their equalizer goal that was scored at the end of the match before stoppage time. Since Di Rossi took over Roma performance have been superb, which made them to have only lost one match.

There is only 1 match remaining this week, namely the Lazio vs Udinese match. And I think we can bet comfortably on this fight. Because we already know which team we should favorite without having to think long. Because even in head to head we can see that Lazio has never lost in the last 5 meetings against Udinese.

So I think this will be an easy win for Lazio. Moreover, today's match was held at Lazio headquarters. Then the home team will undoubtedly be the favourite.

logically speaking, Lazio will be favored to win, but we have to consider the draw as you can see from H2H and that means Udinese could hold a draw when playing against Lazio and even though Lazio is in 9th place, look at the latest performance shown by Lazio is very bad.
but even though Lazio had 2 defeats in the last match and looked bad, we still have to see who Lazio opponents were at that time and it turns out that Milan and Fiorentina, these two teams, are very worthy if they can beat Lazio.
while Udinese is just a team that is far below Lazio and doesn't have the ability to beat them but might be able to hold them to a draw.

well, that's the reason why I chose to bet on this option because to get a safe betting position and also get slightly bigger odds because I'm sure Udinese will not be able to score.

Roma have fought very well in this match, the draw obtained at home to Fiorentina is something to be grateful for because it is not easy to develop a game when the opponent is always putting great pressure. I also appreciate De Rossi's performance with Roma, since he managed the Wolves team he has succeeded in producing positive results so that their position can also be said to be starting to improve in the standings. Apart from that, there is little factor in the scheme implemented by De Rossi at the Artemio Franchi because they have just returned from European competition, perhaps fatigue was a factor in failing to get full points.

Yeah of course people can bet comfortably on the match with Lazio wining but we should also consider the current position of Udinese because they are very close to the relegation area and they are not completely safe from going to relegation and right now the only thing that can help them is being consistent on winning there matches, so perhaps losing this match will never be an option for them because there position is as stake, so perhaps considering all this fact I believe that the match will not be easy as we presume it to be because I see Udinese using all there performance on this match so that Lazio will not be able to win them.

Udinese could appear surprising, like they did against Juventus in week 24. Their ambition to stay in Serie A is worth considering, sometimes teams that are threatened by the relegation zone appear more impressive and are able to create unexpected surprises. we ever predicted. On paper, Lazio deserves to be the favorite, Maurizio Sarri squad has the ambition to create a turning point in performance after experiencing three consecutive defeats in Serie A and the Champions League. The best effort that Udinese could possibly get is a draw, because we know that Lazio will not want to suffer a humiliating defeat at home.

Udinese position in the standings is very threatened by the relegation zone, competition to get out of the relegation zone will be tight, involving the four teams Udinese, Frosinone, Sassuolo and Salernitana. Meanwhile, Lazio still hopes to finish on the European track, their fate this season is almost the same as Napoli, which has experienced a very significant decline after finishing in runner-up position last season.

Udinese hasn't been able to match up to Lazio in their recent encounters, with Lazio winning the last 6 head-to-head matches. It seems like Udinese's search for a win against Lazio will continue, making this an expected easy win for Lazio. Additionally, Lazio will be looking for a win to bounce back after their loss against Bayern Munich in the UCL.

It seems that the choice to bet on Lazio's victory is the right choice, because in addition to the head to head match of the two teams that are more dominant won by Lazio, of course, the performance of the two teams this season obviously makes Lazio more favorite in the game, Lazio, who has just suffered a failure in the Champiosn League, will of course make Udinese in revenge, and even I think Lazio will field their best squad even if the Lazio main coach is absent later Because of the one-match ban, in addition to failing to achieve positive results in the Champions League, of course, Lazio also wants to break their losing trend in the last two weeks in the league.

As for Udinese, of course, the match will be very difficult for them, although now they are trying to stay away from the relegation zone boundary but it seems that it is not worth their deteriorating performance in the current league, and even after Salernitana, Udinese became the second team to win quite a bit in the league with 3 wins from 27 matches,  that's why I think betting on Lazio's win in that game is the right thing even though Udinese have a good record of getting draws.

This is the last match of this week. Looking at the existing opportunities, I agree with you that we should already know who will be the favorite to win this match. However, this is still not something that guarantees that Lazio will be able to win easily, because they have just experienced 2 consecutive defeats and in the last 5 matches they have also experienced 3 defeats. In my opinion, this result is not much better than what was achieved by Udinese, which only won once, but Udinese only experienced 1 defeat while the other 3 ended in a draw.

What is clear is that Lazio cannot underestimate Udinese in this match, because that will actually be detrimental to them. Lazio also benefits because they will play as hosts, so they shouldn't miss the opportunity to win again after they failed in their last 2 matches in Serie A. But on the other hand, Udinese also didn't come just to taste defeat, they also came with mission to steal points from this match. Even though it is difficult to win the match, they can target a draw and take home 1 point from this match.

Even though Lazio is playing at home and is certainly the favorite team to win but yes, I think it is still not easy to beat Udinese. Because I think, so far this season Lazio has also sometimes gotten less than optimal results even when playing at home and thus, so far this season Lazio has gotten better results when Lazio plays away. But indeed, considering that Udinese is not in a good trend and position this season, then on paper Udinese will not be able to beat Lazio. So yes, with considerations like that, I personally am still quite confident that Lazio does have a chance to win, but it won't be easy at all. Also, I think the final score that will occur in this match is unlikely to be much and Lazio only seems to win by a low or narrow score.

Roma were a little lucky with the equalizing goal scored by Diego Llorente at the end of the match which made the score even.

Overall Roma's performance was quite impressive in this match, whatever the final result they got, but in my opinion this is a fair result for Roma because it is not easy for them to play at Fiorentina's home ground and Fiorentin is one of the top teams in Serie A. A team , of course it is not easy to play to beat them.

This week, Bologna, who is in 4th place, also suffered a defeat, so Roma have slightly reduced the points gap from Bologna, making the competition for 4th place even more interesting.
I see Roma's performance increasing and I am quite optimistic that they can fulfill their target, namely finishing in the top 4 of the final Serie A standings.

About Roma and this game, that's much that's just being lucky. In fact, they have had good performances since De Rossi started working at Roma and his performance even made the fans happy to see their team get good results in the Serie A games which can even put Roma to be in a better place at the table if they can continue this good performance in the next games.
But in the game between Roma and Fiorentina, Roma was really lucky to get a draw in this match because Fiorentina had many more gaol opportunities than Roma, especially in the first half of the game when Roma was totally shocked by the good performance by Fiorentina.

It cannot be denied that while under the control of coach De Rossi, Roma were able to perform well and show much more consistent performance. Roma also managed to get consecutive wins in Serie A matches before today being drawn by Fiorentina.
In terms of standings, it is clear that Roma have much better ranking at the moment because they have also won several times which gives them full points.
There is still chance for Roma to continue to win and finish this season competition with much better ranking, but it really has to be based on consistency and good performance to keep winning.
Maybe Roma will not be able to become runners-up or occupy the top 3 positions, but finishing the competition in the top 4 is much better considering that Roma also experienced several bad conditions this season which made them slump bit.

In the future, Roma will only face team that can be said to be not very strong and this is golden opportunity for Roma to achieve victory with much better opportunities.
Roma will first face Brighton for the second leg of the Europa League, this is an away match but Roma has an aggregate advantage of 4 points so for this match they don't need to win because draw can take Roma to the next round.

Yeah must be admitted De Rossi managed to bring Roma to find their best game even almost reached the top 4, previously we doubted De Rossi for only winning against weak teams but now he can prove it and can compete with other top teams. I think Rome has a great chance to take over the 5th place AS Roma only needs one more win to collect 51 points and this week AS Roma will fight weak teams like Sassuolo it must be an easy win for Roma.

Serie A still leaves 10 matches and each team still has a chance to gather more points or at least 30 points if AS Roma can continue this positive trend so it's easy for them to get it. Do you think AS Roma can catch up or shift Bologna? both teams compete with each other and in a positive trend, one mistake can disrupt their position in the standings.

[KTChampions]

logically speaking, Lazio will be favored to win, but we have to consider the draw as you can see from H2H and that means Udinese could hold a draw when playing against Lazio and even though Lazio is in 9th place, look at the latest performance shown by Lazio is very bad.
but even though Lazio had 2 defeats in the last match and looked bad, we still have to see who Lazio opponents were at that time and it turns out that Milan and Fiorentina, these two teams, are very worthy if they can beat Lazio.
while Udinese is just a team that is far below Lazio and doesn't have the ability to beat them but might be able to hold them to a draw.

well, that's the reason why I chose to bet on this option because to get a safe betting position and also get slightly bigger odds because I'm sure Udinese will not be able to score.

In my opinion, this is not as simple a couple as it seems. Look: despite the difference in the tournament position, Lazio has 11 defeats and Udinese has only 9. Udinese clearly have problems winning, but they are doing an excellent job not losing (for a team that is so low). Plus, an important factor is that Udinese has the same number of points as Frosinone - a club that is in the relegation zone. It seems clear to me that Udinese really wants to leave this dangerous zone, so they will play at 100% of their capabilities. I don't know how the game will end, but it won't be easy for Lazio.

Roma have fought very well in this match, the draw obtained at home to Fiorentina is something to be grateful for because it is not easy to develop a game when the opponent is always putting great pressure. I also appreciate De Rossi's performance with Roma, since he managed the Wolves team he has succeeded in producing positive results so that their position can also be said to be starting to improve in the standings. Apart from that, there is little factor in the scheme implemented by De Rossi at the Artemio Franchi because they have just returned from European competition, perhaps fatigue was a factor in failing to get full points.

Indeed. AS Roma won the ball possessions, they even won it 68%. But Fiorentina could play more effective, they made more shoot attempts. That's why Fiorentina could score 2 goals and almost won the match. I think Fiorentina can play more effective because it is a home match for them. They don't want to lose at home. However, the goal made by Diego Llorente in minute (90+5') made the result of the game be a draw. I think both teams deserve to get a draw result.

Agree. De Rossi has improved the performance of AS Roma very well. AS Roma often get points in each match. Even in Serie A, As Roma has been in the top 5 already. With a good progress in their performance, I think De Rossi will be safe to manage AS Roma in the next season. Well, the fatigue may be one of the factors. It seems De Rossi needs to rotate some players to deal with the fatigue.

It seems De Rossi needs to rotate some players to deal with the fatigue.

AS Roma are seeking to enter and finish the season in the top four of the Italian Serie A so they can guarantee themselves UEFA Champions League football next season and that's why I'm of the opinion that they should've delivered a better performance than they did against Fiorentina yesterday. Without doubt, the club have really improved their performance since Daniele De Rossi took over the managerial position at the club after the club's management sacked Jose Mourinho but since they're trying to make sure they finish the season in the top four, I expected a better performance than what I saw yesterday. Fiorentina were were few minutes away from recording a huge win in that game against Roma yesterday before Diego Llorente scored in the 95th minute to help the away team get a point in that game.

With that result, Roma are currently sitting in the fifth position of the league table but still have a chance to overtake fourth placed Bologna who are just three points ahead of them in the league table. The Italian Serie A title winner this season I think is almost decided because league leaders Inter Milan are currently leading the league table with 16 points so i think it's almost impossible for any of the other teams to catch up with them

It is not the first time that Roma looks as if they have more control over the game, but they lack some quality to create chances, to use that ball possession and more often put their opponents under serious pressure. You can see it from the number of shots on target: Roma had 5 shots on target with 68% ball possession and Fiorentina had 5 shots on target with only 32% ball possession.

That was not quite the result they were hoping for as Bologna and Juventus both failed to win their games. That was another chance to get closer to the top four positions here. Though I have to add that Fiorentina is a reasonably good team at the moment and not to be beaten easily in their home stadium. I think in summary Roma is happy about the point as they were actually on the bring of losing the game.
