Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[ginsan]

Inter doesn't even look like the same team.
This is the worst I have seen Inter play all season, by a distance.
And Atletico looked fitter, hungrier, and were first to the ball all over the pitch. They took more initiative than Inter.
From the current UCL results, it can be said that the Premier League and La Liga are still better than Serie A.

When Inter Milan played at Atletico Madrid's headquarters, it was clear that their performance was really unstable compared to what they had shown in the previous match. They lost their balance after Griezmann scored a goal and this could be seen from the movement that continued to be pressed by Atletico Madrid who managed to equalize.

However, in the penalty shootout round there is always luck and that cannot be denied because I see that Atletico Madrid players are more confident in completing their tasks. Yes, the elimination of Inter Milan means that the Serie A representatives in the Champions League no longer exist and for Inter Milan they can now focus their energy only on Serie A.

Roma will change the coach again? They sacked Mourinho and hired De Rossi. And so far De Rossi has been successful with Roma. So De Rossi will stop as Roma coach next season, it is more likely.
But Napoli coach Calzona is likely to lose his job. Napoli's performance is very poor. The team has been eliminated from the Champions League platform. The team is seventh in the points table in Serie A. They are in very bad form.

But after seeing how De Rossi was able to make Roma improve quite rapidly, Roma even rose to 5th place in the Serie A standings. With these results, I think De Rossi deserves a longer contract at the AS Roma Club. Maybe the current temporary contract is just to get to the end of the season. But I'm sure there will be a contract renewal at the end of the season. Although that's just my speculation. But I think it would make sense to keep a coach who can replace Mourinho well.

Mourinho was my favorite coach though. I was disappointed that Roma management sacked him. Even so, I'd say Roma are performing pretty well now with De Rossi. Roma have played 11 matches since de Rossi took over as coach, losing only against Inter Milan. Roma's performance is quite stable now. Roma should renew De Rossi's contract. Although De Rossi is not experienced enough, he is talented. With enough support from the management, he seems to be able to strengthen the Roma team.

But regarding the current Napoli coach, perhaps his fate will depend on how Napoli performs in the remaining matches this season. If the results get worse then of course there is no future for Napoli's new coach to continue staying at Napoli. Although I personally understand that Napoli is still bad even though they have changed coaching. Because after all, new coaches must be given more time to adapt.

Napoli's performance is quite weak now. They have been eliminated from the Champions League. And the team's performance in Serie A has been erratic. In the last 5 matches, Napoli won only 2 matches and drew 3 matches. This team won the previous season's title. Despite the squad being unchanged, their performance has deteriorated. So I think Napoli will sack their coach Francesco Calzona next season. They need a more experienced coach if they want to win the Serie A title again.

Lautaro continue to score... now 23 goals!

Lautaro Martínez appeared very impressive. Initially, I thought Vlahovic would be a tight competitor for top scorer in Serie A this season. but the result is surprising that Lautaro Martínez is quite far ahead at the moment. he is productive, but I don't think that can be separated from the support of a good team. he is a fairly easy player to pair with others. He is also good with Sanchez or with Thuram.
with the player's current performance, the Serie A trophy may not be separated from Inter this season.

really, you are telling the truth, this player amazes me every time
I really like him, just as I really like Victor Osimhen, another great striker who this year doesnt have a team behind him to support him

he will certainly change team next season, unfortunately
he will definitely leave Italy

[Blitzboy]

Last season several clubs from Serie A managed to advance further in the UCL. Like AC Milan, Napoli and Inter Milan. Even Inter Milan was able to reach the final. But this season seems to be the worst season for Italian clubs participating in the UCL. because now there are no Italian clubs that have qualified for the quarter-finals. Today Inter Milan also failed after losing on penalties to Atletico Madrid. Even though the biggest hope for representatives from Serie A is Inter Milan.

But with this, all teams from Serie A can focus their clubs on competing more fiercely in Serie A. Because the UCL is over for them. Inter Milan just have to maintain their position at the top. Meanwhile, Napoli have to work hard to improve their ranking in the standings.

It hurt to see Serie A clubs leave the UCL early this season, especially Inter Milan's performance last year. You'd think their Serie A stability would give them a chance, but football's unpredictable, right? Losing to Atletico Madrid, especially on penalties, is hard. Not just being steady domestically - UCL is a different beast, and Atletico playing at home changed everything. I see a bright side for Inter and other Italian clubs. Without UCL distractions, they can focus on Serie A. They must reorganize and improve their league positions. This is a chance to improve next season.

Inter can now have chance to concentrate on Seria A as this is the big competition they have left. They were able to reach the finals last season, that they were not a strong and consistent like this. Penalty shootout is a game of luck, and whoever wins through PK is always like winning a jackpot.

Inter already have Seria A trophy this season, and they should be satisfied with it, because that is what they deserve. After all this season was more successful for them than last season. With the defeat of Inter yesterday in UCL, any club that comes their way will be messed aggressively by Inter.

Isn't it reversed?
Actually, before the second leg of the Champions League was played, didn't Intermilan actually ensure their Scudetto because Juventus and Milan were already very far behind the competition, and actually that's when Intermilan should be able to focus on the Champions League instead of what it is now after they are eliminated from the Champions League and then focus on Serie A, What for? Isn't their position safe?

Yes everything has happened, now we no longer have a single Serie A representative for us to hope for in the Champions League, because one by one of the 3 Serie A teams have been eliminated from the biggest European competition, to be honest, of all the existing Italian teams, actually Intermilan has great hopes to continue in the Champions League but apparently they are still unable to overcome the resistance from Atletico Madrid, so like it or not, now yes we say if Intermilan have more time to focus on Serie A even though in fact they only need 4 or 5 more wins to celebrate the Scudetto sooner now.

Napoli is in trouble this year. They were great last year and had a dream season. This year, there is not even a trace of last year. I don't recognize Naples. After seeing this poor performance this year, I think they should prepare harder for next year. I think they will fight for the Scudetto again next year.

the absurd thing about this situation, in some ways embarrassing, is that last year Napoli were first and won the scudetto
this year has gone from riches to rags, a very sad thing but also a warning for those who pretend to manage the teams, if someone breaks something even a strong team can decline

After seeing this poor performance this year, I think they should prepare harder for next year. I think they will fight for the Scudetto again next year.

Napoli, who this season are still ranked seventh in the Serie A standings, will also not be able to take the top five positions to be in the Europa League next season. Because Atalanta and Roma are still much better than the current Napoli, the Napoli team has really experienced setbacks this season and they can't expect more good things unless they can improve their way of playing quite well in the remainder of this season.

It is difficult to say whether or not Napoli will manage to reach at least sixth place in the league table, there are still 10 matches to be played and nothing is decided yet, only the field will be able to tell us whether or not Napoli deserve to go to the Europa League, very difficult instead will be to reach fourth place, so by now Napoli's goal will be either Europa League or Conference League

To catch the UCL zone, Napoli are already quite far behind and I don't think Napoli can catch up with the remaining matches this season, which has a few games left and is almost at the end of the season. The only thing that Napoli can achieve is to be in the UEL or ECL zone because the points distance is not too far, yes, even though it is not as big as the UCL, to maintain Napoli's good name and performance, at least Napoli must be in one of these competitions because otherwise it will be seen as bad by the fans as the team that won the title last season.

Recovering a seven point deficit will not be easy for Napoli, but they could manage it, but they must hope that Bologna, Roma and Atalanta start to get bad results in their next matches. They could manage it because Napoli still have to play against Atalanta and Roma, and winning the direct clashes can lead to the goal. I repeat it is difficult but it can succeed, but above all it must try to get a place at least in the Europa League

Yes, as a fan of the Italian League I also feel the same way, the Italian team's failure in the Champions League was really sad, initially I was optimistic that Inter Milan could go further, but Atl Madrid turned out to be better in last night's match.
In last night's match, Inter Milan should have been able to focus more on the Champions League because I think Inter Milan's position in the Serie A standings is safe from being chased by AC Milan and Juventus.
but on the field it says something else, Inter Milan failed to represent Italy in the Champions League this season in the next round,
Yes, maybe Inter can focus more on Serie A so they can more quickly ensure Serie A champions this season

Inter Milan is quite comfortable at the top of the Serie A standings without any pressure from any team so there is no reason that their elimination from the Champions League means they can focus more on the Serie competition.
In fact, Inter Milan's elimination was quite a big surprise because in terms of quality they were better than Atletico Madrid.

The inability of the Serie A team to advance to the quarter-finals indicates that the strength of the Serie A team this season is not better than other teams so that the Serie A team is unable to compete on the Champion League stage, this is a great shame.

Intermilan's struggle in the Champions League has finished and they now only have one chance to win the championship trophy, namely by winning Serie A, in fact, it is not surprising for us if Intermilan is eliminated in the Champions League because we all know that the atmosphere in the Champions League and Serie A is very different so Intermilan who appear consistently in the league can't do much in the Champions League like now.

Actually, the Inter Milan game in the second leg match was quite good, but several mistakes and also the pressure in the match made the Inter Milan players lose concentration and in the end their mentality fell at the end of the match, Currently Inter Milan become is the last hope for fans or even league fans Italy to see that Italian clubs can go far in the Champions League, but in fact now after that other two teams were eliminated first, even Intermilan can't fulfill those hopes, and what you say is a little true, maybe the mentality of the Italian League team is not as tough as the  teams from other European leagues this season.

It's funny when someone thinks and hopes that Napoli is always able to compete for the title in every season because basically Napoli is not always consistent in being in the title race every season. In this way, Napoli performance and results this season for me are still a normal result for Napoli because afterall, Napoli is not a team like Juventus and Inter which have many titles in Serie A. So, if you expect Napoli to always be in in the fight for the title, then I think it's an empty hope because after all, Napoli doesn't have the ability to always be at the top of the Serie A standings.

Because after all, for teams like Juventus, Inter and Milan, when they previously managed to get the Scudetto, but In the following season, the three teams also experienced a decline in performance and got bad results. So yes, the case experienced by Napoli this season is not something strange at all and is also not a result that makes we sad. LOL

[Oluwa-btc]

I think Napoli could lose Osimhen earlier than Kvaratskhelia to another team. I mean actually both of these players have been showing impressive performances. But Osimhen's contract expiration time (2026) is one year closer than Kvaratskhelia now. The chairman De Laurentiis was able to extend by only one year with Osimhen the last time.

I think this clearly shows that Osimhen wants to think about his options on one hand. That must be why he didn't want to have a long term relationship anymore. At one point Napoli would lose both of these players probably but the question is: when?  

At the end of this very season, much direct and straight forward approaches would be made for Victor Oshime ahead of the new season. Extending his contract was understandable so that, Napoli could sell him off so as to make good profits from his sale permanently. I don't really care much about the Georgian, I love Victor Oshime like he be my blood brother, I would love to see him leave for a club that he would win the domestic league Competition and in the future the Champions League Competition one day.

I'm certain so many suitors are ready to complete the deal for Victor Oshime already, he's been a great player watching him from last season, but this season? He's had a bad time with Napoli since the former coach left the club.

Series of poor coaches this season for Napoli as we saw all of them decisions go sideways. They the management should be ready already to lose them. As I'm so certain Osimhen wouldn't be staying. Chelsea as I've always said would be the suitable fit for the Nigerian international.

I don't know whether I'm right or not when I say that they were just lucky last season, it's not without reason that I say this, but if you look at their performance every season, they actually don't show that they can win the Scudetto title. And last season they managed to become champions even though I myself didn't think they would put their name on the list of clubs that would become champions. But apart from that, their performance last season was truly extraordinary.

I agree with you that Napoli is not a club that can be consistent every season, they may be able to compete but their competition is only limited to the European League zone or the Champions League, but to compete for the championship they are still below other clubs in my opinion. And this season they even really struggled to compete even though it was only fighting for one position to go to the Europa League next season.

At the same time, clubs that are usually in the top flight are now starting to show that, which they could not show in the previous few seasons. With facts like that, it will make it even more difficult for Napoli to repeat their success last season.

Inter Milan did not play the way they normally do on there previous matches, I don't know if they were feeling so confident on winning the match, what even surprises me was that they were even the first people that scored the first goal and after then the pressure start becoming much on them and it was not up to seven minutes after there goal Atletico Madrid was able to equalize, actually Atletico Madrid really came prepared because there performance was nothing like there last meeting with Inter Milan, perhaps Atletico Madrid has broken the Inter Milan unbeaten record, so actually there performance was really commendable.

Expectations for Napoli are high after they managed to win the Scudetto last season, Osimhen presence as the Serie A top scorer makes many people hope that Napoli can stay at the same level this season. If they had not parted ways with Spalletti, there is a possibility that Napoli could still be a team challenging for the title, everything changed after Spalletti left, even though the main squad still contains the majority of Spalletti legacy players.

In Serie A, Juventus, Inter and Milan are more trustworthy as teams challenging for the title every season. Napoli, Roma, Lazio and other contestants need momentum and great luck to be able to compete in the top four of the standings. This doesn't mean underestimating other teams, but if we check the standings every season, the facts are true.

For the remainder of this season, Napoli definitely has the ambition to finish in the Champions League zone, or at least finish in the Europa League zone, now the Calzona fleet can focus completely on Serei A after being eliminated from the last 16 of the Champions League. Next season Napoli can try again, but what is certain is that they will have difficulty if they let go of Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia.

It will be unfair to say that to intern, they disappointed everyone but do you think Atletico Madrid would have just let them win in their own home. From the beginning of 2024, Inter has never lost a match until they face Atletico Madrid and it's really unfortunate for the game to end like this but I still think the way inter put a lots of effort in that maych, it's a deserving match they needed.

They even had a good goalkeeper that is very good, he has had a lot of cleansheet more than when Onana went to  Champions League last season but perhaps they are not just lucky to win that match. However, the point they have gather this season is enough to win the Seria A trophy of this season. They deserved this and they can use it to make necessary preparation next time in the Champions League.

I also admit that the English League and La Liga are still better than Serie A, but sometimes the competition between teams in Europe is never the same. It's always difficult to reach the same stage every season in the Champions League because basically the odds will be different, but Atletico Madrid really deserved to get a place in the quarter-finals after they put in a good performance throughout the match.

Inter weren't too bad I guess, but they were unlucky in the second leg. There were a lot of wasted opportunities and that is something that is detrimental, but fighting until the penalties is something that proves that Inter also have the desire to get through to the quarter-finals.

[snipie]

Here it can be seen that the mentality of the Inter Milan players is not that good even though if we look at it overall they are much stronger than Atletico Madrid.
This has been a bad season for the Serie A teams after all of them were eliminated in the last 16 of the Champions League this season, this is clearly a decline compared to last season.

Inter Milan was the best Italian team in Champions League these years and its disqualified was quite unexpected for me at least against Atletico Madrid. Simeone and his players did a good job kicking them from UEFA Champions League. That made things easier for the other top teams in my opinion.
Inter Milan will face Napoli in San Siro and they are expected to win and continue to dominate Serie A.

[hahay]

Yes, it's true, already having a 2-0 advantage then obviously, Inter should be able to maintain the victory they already have. But unfortunately, it seems that Inter are not ready and also do not have a good mentality. Therefore, it was difficult for Inter to get out of Atletico pressure until finally Inter completely failed to qualify for the Champions League quarterfinals this season. But yes, at least I personally don't really care whether Inter will win or lose because in my personal view, that Serie A teams basically not have a great chance to compete further in the Champions League. So yes, I think about Inter failure is also not something or a surprising result for me because anyway, at least Inter will also still be confirmed to get the Scudetto this season despite failing in the Champions League, but I think it's also not a problem at all.

I also didn't realize that this would happen to Inter Milan in the Champions League, because another team from Italy was also eliminated from the Champions League in the round of 16. So in the last eight, everyone will not see the Italian team in the Champions League because they all have to go home to Serie A to stay focused on winning their best position. Although the top position will still belong to Inter Milan because the number of points is quite far from AC Milan which is in second place.
