Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[borovichok]

That is the most interesting fight in the Serie A as everything has already settled in other fights with Inter winning the title and Juventus being in the second place,not much to follow despite the draw of Inter against Napoli in this last encounter during the weekend.

I think that Bologna has been playing well compared to Roma winning games more convincingly and by scoring many goals so for me would be a shame if Bologna loses the game against Roma.

Luciano Spalleti was promising and he led the club to glory last season, everything worked smooth for them and they become champions. It was a difficult tasks but at the end, winning the league title was important and straight for Napoli. Perhaps this season, huge difference is spotted because we can see Napoli eliminated from the UEFA Champions League by Barcelona and sitting 7th position when it comes to Seria A table.

Napoli president, Aurelio De Laurentiis is experienced and not in a hurry to sack any manager, there's absolutely good time frame for these new managers, he ensured he's picking the best alternative to sits into the shoes of Luciano Spalleti this season. Among these elite teams, Napoli remained the main club that let's their guards down. Everything declined for Napoli the moment, Luciano Spalleti decided to exits the club after winning the scudetto with the Naples, it was a deserved moment for the club's growth.

The opportunity for Juventus to qualify for the UCL is still very open. Indeed, the points gap with Bologna and AS Roma is very close, but I think Juventus can still get that spot. The draw with Genoa was not the end for Juventus in getting a ticket to the UCL. There are still several matches, 2 of Juventus schedule are against AS Roma and Bologna, this could be an opportunity for Juventus to maintain its position at least in 3rd place in the standings.

Not having Juventus in the UCL is not that interesting even though there are 4 representatives from Serie A in the UCL this season. Juventus' opportunity to appear in the UCL next season is still very open. The difference in points with Bologna will not be an obstacle for Juventus from qualifying because Bologna is not a consistent team in my opinion. In fact, I think Bologna will be shifted by AS Roma and Roma will be among the four teams from Serie A to appear in the UCL next season.

Bologna is not an opponent that will make things difficult for Juventus and their match is still too far away. Juventus needs to focus on fighting Lazio and Fiorentina because in the two matches Bologna will also face teams in the relegation zone so there is a chance for Bologna to get full points.

For the current top position we will not doubt Inter because it is likely that they will be at the top of the standings at the end of the season and get the Scudetto this season but for the second place I don't think it will be certain that Juventus can be there because seeing from the conditions that are happening now and the last few matches that Juventus have gone through are not very good making them currently in 3rd place and their position is shifted by Milan.
Juventus must work hard if they really want to be in the runner up because after all their competition is still very tight for the race for second place even though it is currently only 2 clubs (Juventus and Milan) but if their performance does not change and remains the same as the previous few matches then indeed they must release the second position.

[Jegileman]

In the last eight Serie A matches: 1 Win, 3 Losses, and 4 Draws. 7 points in 8 games. lol
I'm losing hope, Juve will not qualify for the Champions League. This team cannot compete anymore.

Juve used to dominate Serie A by scoring 3-5 goals a game, now they can't even score a single goal against a bad club.
Radical changes are needed, starting with coaches and players, A new and serious football project. Juve must learn from Roma.

In this fixtures ahead for Juventus, they should be able to win those matches because they know what they stand to lose if they don’t win in those matches, their position won’t be worth dependent on to qualify for the champions league competition. This teams will also feel not comfortable playing against a team like Juventus. They know what they’re fighting for but will be scared not to be defeated by Juventus which in comparison to them are better team than them. Juventus are still open to the champions league competition and with the remaining fixtures for them, they should be able to finish in a good position to secure the spot of UCL.

Inter Milan will be difficult to catch now by the teams in the top four of the standings because the points are quite far away. Meanwhile, Juventus can still fight to reclaim second place from AC Milan if Milan loses the remaining matches this season. But recently Juventus has started to not be in good condition so second place might also be difficult for Juventus to take back this season. As for Roma and Bologna, it is true that Bologna is slightly better than Roma, but Bologna also needs to be wary of Roma because Roma is also targeting the top four positions for the remainder of this season.

Juventus can still fight but it is not an easy thing because in the last few matches they actually seemed to lose momentum to make a breakthrough which in the end it had to make their points reduced because they couldn't get full points in a match. Looking at the rest of the schedule in the rest of the season this time for Juventus i think its not something easy because of the remaining 9 matches there are still some tough matches like facing Lazio, Milan, Fiorentina and even Bologna which will definitely make the situation less predictable with their current performance.



Although some clubs are still below them in terms of the game and the quality of the club i think it is not much different where Lazio and Fiorentina are still able to trouble Juventus in the end as for Bologna even though the quality of their players is still far below Juventus but we are aware that Bologna performance this season can't be underestimated especially with very good statistics now it could make Juventus confused.
If their target is second place then indeed in the remaining matches they have to make a difference because with the current performance im sure they will not be able to be in second place and even their points could be overtaken by the club below if Juventus' performance continues like this.

You mean Roma lose the race against Bologna? The points difference between these two teams is just three points, a non sustainable gap which could change rapidly.
From what I see, Bologna don't have many hard games to play except from Roma itself, Napoli and Juventus. In the other side, Roma didn't lose any game after the signing of the new coach but they have harder games to play. Apart from these mentioned above, there is Atalanta and AC Milan that might be challenging..

Previously, Juventus was not just about being in second place but yes, previously Juventus was a tight competitor with Inter in the race for first place. But unfortunately, Juventus performance in the second half of this season has decreased and is difficult to improveagain. With results like that, of course, it is difficult for Juventus to win in every match they play. But even so, at least Juventus target for the remainder of this season is only to maintain its position in the top four because clearly, it would be very bad if Juventus dropped out of the top four, because this season is a good season and good moment for Juventus to be able to finish in the top four.

It is indeed very sad to see Juventus currently, from their last three matches without a single win, even against a weak team like Genoa. Initially they were favorites to win the Serie A trophy and fought hard with Inter Milan, but now they have to compete with AC Milan to win second place. After being taken over by Inter, Juventus' performance worsened and it could be said that the players' enthusiasm and self-confidence decreased and I think this happened because of Allegri's fault.

Juventus should have the courage to fire Allegri, because until now Juventus' game has not improved even though Juventus' players are very good. If Allegri is still retained until the end of the season, it is feared that Juventus will be out of the top four competition until the end of the season. Juventus must take bold action like As Roma, just look at As Roma always winning after firing coach Jose Mourinho and replacing De Rossi.

Inter's match against Napoli was beyond the expectations of the gamblers because I'm sure the hopes of the gamblers were that Inter managed to win against Napoli. However, if you look at the number of times Inter kicked the opponent, up to 19 times but failed to score another goal and this shows that Napoli has increased defense.

Difference between Bologna and Roma is very small, only three points and it's too early to conclude Bologna will win and Roma will lose it. They have opposite strength, with Bologna it is their strong defense and with Roma it is their powerful attacking. Bologna with not too good attacking, can easily have issue to score goals and get three points. If they fail to score goal, it is nearly unable to win and get three points in their match and it will be chance for Roma.

Roma in contrast, have good attacking power but if their defense system can not cover Mile Svillar, scoring goals might not be enough to help Roma win and have three points in their match. This race between Bologna and Roma is very interesting but there are other clubs ready to join this race too like Atalanta, Napoli.

However, if you look at the number of times Inter kicked the opponent, up to 19 times but failed to score another goal and this shows that Napoli has increased defense.

The shocked and disappointed defeat in Champions League round of 16 actually affected Inter Milan. They returned to Serie A, played against with Napoli with not best mental condition so that this draw is not so surprising result with me.

Inter has fought a good fight to achieved a huge amount of points in the Italian league competition, because they really prepared well to fight any teams that they are going to face in this season and they have defeated many teams to acquired the first position. Juventus that was creating pressure on Inter from the beginning of this tournament, they have lose some points that made Inter to gap them very well and it will be difficult for such pressure to be among Inter and Juventus again. Bologna has played well in this season to defeated some teams to get to where they are right now, I believe they will defeat Roma to achieve another points again.

It is no longer correct to compare Inter and Juventus. There were big differences between the two teams and Juventus threw in the towel on the league with consecutive points losses and their only aim is now to gain qualification in the UCL. Inter has been winning consistently since the beginning of the year. As a result, they will be the winners this year. Juve, on the other hand, can already start thinking about next year.

Bologna is indeed more consistent than Rome. and yes, Roma could lose the match against Bologna. But because the match is near the end of April, there could be changes in performance for these two teams. It could be that at that time Bologna had lost their consistency and so did Roma. So it can be said that everything is still uncertain and we have to wait a few more weeks before making further judgments regarding Bologna and Roma. But regarding Inter Milan, they are certainly comfortable at the top and will win the title this season.

There is no other possibility than to finish in the top 4 for Juventus this season and that is quite realistic considering what they are currently experiencing.
The significant decline in performance that occurred in the second half of this season was a bit surprising, initially when they were unable to compete with Inter Milan and were increasingly behind in points from Inter Milan who were at the top of the standings, it made Juventus seem to have lost motivation to win the match, but if this continues So it will be very confusing for them now because Roma and Bologna are quite consistent so it could be dangerous for Juventus to finish in the top 4.

Roma took off with great momentum after Mourinho left. Bologna is playing its team season. They are amazing this year. Of course, Juventus could fall out of the UCL rankings if they suffer such losses, but realistically, I don't think that will happen. I think they will finish the league in the top 3 places and take part in the UCL next year.

AS Roma is trying hard to replace Bologna in the 4th place and I am optimistic they can do it. Indeed, Bologna plays impressive this season but Roma is also on the same track and they will wait for the right moment to take over precisely on April 21, obviously Roma can be relied upon when playing at home. For Juventus yeah I am also sure they will secure a ticket to the Champions League next season I mean they always have a way to do it, even though Juventus play bad lately but I'm sure they are just 'playing' in the game.

The real battle will occur if the match this season is 3 matches left it will be a determinant for teams to take their places in the last season, my focus remains on AS Roma vs Bologna and 2 teams in the relegation zone because they have no choice but to fight as much as possible while Inter Milan is safe at the top of the standings and Salernitana is confirmed to be degraded.

I also don't know why the Juventus team has recently become like that because previously everyone knew that Juventus was ranked runner-up before Milan succeeded in moving it to third place in the current League standings. And if the series of draws can continue until the end of the season for Juventus, it would be a shame for Juventus who can't even enter the UCL zone. But I am quite sure that Juventus will continue to maintain itself in the UCL zone with any strategy in order not to get a worse position at the end of this season.

Even though Juventus has a higher chances than Milan and Inter Milan in competing for the Scudetto because among the big 3 only Juventus doesn't have a busy schedule, and the question is if the Juventus players are starting to get tired  what happens when compared with Inter Milan and Milan in fact, these two clubs performed better than Juventus even though they had to face other big competitions such as the Champions League and the European League and they were still able to balance it out to keep performing well in the domestic league, while Juventus wasted this opportunity. Juventus should be able to learn a lot from Inter Milan and Milan, to be honest I am quite disappointed with the old lady's team now because they are not as strong as before.

Even though they are still in the Champions League zone, Juventus' current position is not completely convincing because Bologna is playing more consistently than Juventus this season and has only won 1 defeat in the last 5 matches, which means they have only lost 3 points while Juventus have only won 1 win in the last 5 matches and 3 draws which means Juventus has lost 9 points in the last 5 matches and if this continues it will be very disappointing, especially for Juventus fans who are really looking forward to Juventus performing well like before.

Juventus should have the courage to fire Allegri, because until now Juventus' game has not improved even though Juventus' players are very good. If Allegri is still retained until the end of the season, it is feared that Juventus will be out of the top four competition until the end of the season. Juventus must take bold action like As Roma, just look at As Roma always winning after firing coach Jose Mourinho and replacing De Rossi.

This season scudetto competition is no longer interesting after Intermilan no longer gets resistance from teams such as Ac Milan and Juventus, Intermilan's performance is actually no different from the previous season, but indeed the performance of their rival teams such as Juventus, Milan, Napoli and other teams are now in poor performance so that Intermilan easily runs alone,  At the moment we can see how Juventus is playing badly even though all this time we know that Juventus is a contender for the Scudetto title.

But this season is honestly the worst season for Juventus in the last 3 seasons, and even they are no longer able to win every game that they should have won easily, I think the main problem now is that Allegri is no longer able to make Juventus a scary team even though their squad is quite good, the tactics used by Allegri in every Juventus match have been very old fashioned and even too easy to read by the opposing team, I think if Juventus management wants to see Juventus Compete again for the Scudetto then Sacking Allegri and looking for another coach who understands modern football can certainly be a solution.

[coinlocket$]

a big media scandal is happening in Serie A.

Inter player Acerbi and Napoli player Juan Jesus are involved.

It seems that during the match between Napoli and Inter last week the Inter player made racial insults against the neapolitan player.
the situation had already been resolved on the pitch with the player's apologies, but subsequently on TV the Inter player called the neapolitan player a liar (without saying it) and the neapolitan accused him of racism on social media again after the TV fact.

If the sports judge wrote about this offense on the scoresheet, the Inter player now risks a minimum of 10 match disqualification.

[SmartCharpa]

I don't know how many wins this has been for Roma because they have always proven stable performance and since being handled by De Rossi, Roma has now become a team that deserves to be respected. They managed to get their latest victory when they hosted Sassuolo at the Olimpico stadium and with the addition of 3 points they became more comfortable in 5th position in the standings. They are now getting closer to Bologna with only a 3 point difference and they also have to be careful because Atalanta is always watching them from behind.

Since Danielle De Rossi was appointed the new manager, Roma has participated in nine league games; during that time, they has won seven, draw one and lost one against Inter Milan. We have witnessed many changes since Mourinho left the club, De Rossi's the new head coach of the team has produced many good outcomes and improvement. The team's objective for this season is to get to the next Champions League; they have no intention of participating in the Europa League. Roma was in ninth place in the league when Danielle De Rossi was hired; three points separate them from the top four now, in fifth place. Roma is still in the running to finish in the top four.

In this match Pellegrini was the only player to score a goal and also became the hero of Roma's victory. Usually Dybala always scores goals in matches like this, unfortunately we didn't see him last night because he still has a muscle injury and had to miss several matches. Lukaku is also not playing optimally and he seems to have to wait for his partner to recover first so he can be productive again.

Despite Dybala's absence, I was expecting that Roma would score an early goal because Sassuolo is a weak opponent, they cannot compete with Roma in term of football. Unfortunately, Roma was able to score only one goal against Sassuolo, a team that remains in the relegation zone. Roma attempted ten shots during the game, but only four of them were on target. It is clear that Dybala's absence affected how well they played against Sassuolo.

[iamsange]

AS Roma is trying hard to replace Bologna in the 4th place and I am optimistic they can do it. Indeed, Bologna plays impressive this season but Roma is also on the same track and they will wait for the right moment to take over precisely on April 21, obviously Roma can be relied upon when playing at home. For Juventus yeah I am also sure they will secure a ticket to the Champions League next season I mean they always have a way to do it, even though Juventus play bad lately but I'm sure they are just 'playing' in the game.

Roma's opportunity to look at the top four zone is increasingly realistic to be realized. The Giallorossi's increasingly improving performance under De Rossi's direction is increasingly putting pressure on Bologna. Bologna, who has appeared quite impressive this season, also wants to maintain their position, Thiago Motta's troops will fight it out even though they don't get the top title. So the battle for fourth place seems interesting to monitor until the end of the season.

Juventus has really been very disappointing this season, instead of being a serious contender for the Scudetto this season, they have appeared sluggish. This is the worst performance of Mrs. Tia that I have ever seen, even though currently she is still in 3rd place. But if conditions continue like that and she fails to make a comeback then it looks like her ticket to the Champions League next season will go to another team, that's very very sad.

Bologna has played well in this season to defeated some teams to get to where they are right now, I believe they will defeat Roma to achieve another points again.

Juventus lost their balance so they can no longer put pressure on Inter Milan like at the start of the season and even now they have to lose their position in second place because in the last 3 matches they couldn't win and that gave Ac Milan the opportunity to overtake them. and AC Milan managed to take advantage of that very well.
Actually, things like this are what a team is worried about, yes, they will experience a decline at the end of the season and that will make them unable to compete anymore. Juventus experienced this this season which made them have to give up the title this season. However, they also still have to focus, because even though they cannot become champions, at least they can be in the top 4 of the standings at the end of the season and win a ticket to go to the Champions League next season. Their current position is not completely safe, so they have to keep giving their best, especially to win again after they failed to get it in the last few matches. I'm sure they can secure their position in the top 4 of the standings.
