Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[SmartCharpa]

They need to play more carefully than ever because Bologna has 3 difficult matches to play against Roma, Napoli and Juventus in the fixture. If they do not lose in these matches, they will maintain the fourth place, but if they lose these 3 matches, then a bad experience will be waiting for them. Juventus is already unstable and if they continue like this, they may fall below the ranking required for the Champions League.

Bologna is performing amazing right now, and I don't think Roma will be able to pass them for fourth place too easily. Bologna has performed unexpectedly this season, and we didn't think they would play at this level because they ended at 9 position last season. Roma and Bologna has a narrow win in their last game. Juventus' current play will not go them far to maintain their Champions League position, so if they can't keep winning games and hold onto their position, they will lose it. Despite their recent poor performance, Juventus leads Bologna by five points, a lead that is not safe because it could be taken away at any time.

I don't think it's a big deal for Bologna's next three games. None of these teams Juventus, Roma, or Napoli have ever defeated Bologna in their first meeting. Bologna defeated Roma in their first meeting and draw with Juventus and Napoli, considering that they want to hold onto their current standing and go to the next champions league, I don't think they will lose in their second meeting.

Juventus is already unstable and if they continue like this, they may fall below the ranking required for the Champions League.

This is certainly a difficult opponent for Bologna but now they have a greater chance of finishing in the top 4, not only competing with Roma there but the decline in performance from Juventus makes the fight for the top 4 position even more fierce.
Facing Roma, Napoli and Juventus is quite difficult, but Bologna's percentage of winning is still quite large, this season Bologna has everything that is comparable to the top Serie A teams.

Before facing this tough match, Bologna must maintain its consistency so as not to lose points and hope that these teams will lose points before meeting them so that even if they face these three teams, Bologna loses or draws, they can still stay in the top 5 and may not be displaced, but neither will Bologna. just expecting it to be like that, he must also have prepared a mature strategy because if it doesn't match his expectations, it will actually complicate his condition. Juventus and Napoli may not be very consistent but AS Roma can be a threat to Bologna because they have performed well recently.

Compared to last season, Lazio's performance this season has decreased significantly, all because they have not made changes to a better team, instead they only rely on their old players.

The match against Juventus will of course be fierce because no matter what the current condition of the two teams is, they are still two teams but Serie A definitely has high prestige when facing each other and it is possible that they will play with high tension because both are aiming for victory, so I think the betting option is more good bet on goal over.

It is true, this season, Lazio experienced a very significant decline in performance. Maybe the reasons you put forward are very reasonable and are the main reason why Lazio is unable to compete in Serie A. However, I also want to add another reason why Lazio is experiencing poor performance this season. The reason is, other teams in Serie A have experienced quite a significant increase in performance this season, so Lazio is having a very difficult time keeping up. Because if, for example, the performance of the teams in Serie A is still the same as last season, then it is very likely that Lazio will return to the top 4 positions in Serie A this season. The reason is, last season Lazio was able to finish in second place in Serie A.

Then the final reason why Lazio is experiencing difficulties this season. This is because this season all the playing strategies and tactics of the Lazio players have been read by all the teams in Serie A. So because of this, Lazio is really having a hard time and finding it difficult to recover from their downturn.

And talking about Lazio's match against Juventus, maybe if you look at the Head to Head record it is clear that Juventus will definitely win. The reason is from the 5 meetings that have taken place between Juventus and Lazio. As a result, Juventus is ahead with 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. Then, if you look at the current condition of Juventus' performance, it is very likely that Juventus will also win. So my prediction for the Lazio match against Juventus is that Juventus will win. Even though Juventus' current performance is not good, when compared with Lazio's performance, I think Juventus is still better. So in essence, Juventus has a big chance of winning the match against Lazio.

[rendravolt]

Juventus-Lazio match will be a difficult match. I can say this easily. Lazio has an offensive line that will put them in a difficult situation. They actually have important offensive players in Serie A, but I think they are in an unlucky year this year. While I thought they would be higher, they are in bad form like Juventus with surprising points losses. It is difficult to predict the outcome of this match, but a draw would be a fair score for both teams.

Lazio are still relying on Ciro Immobile now. However he hasn't been performing decently for the recent two years.    He is worse this season as well however I understand this on one hand. Because he has got quite old now (34 years old). We don't see so many players still being able to score a lot of goals at this age in a season in big European leagues.

The matches at Stadio Olimpico between these teams have been quite challenging so far. Both sides got good results. Maybe Lazio are having a worse season than the previous one but Juventus are also on the decline recently. I will try my luck with double chance on Lazio @1.50 because of not thinking they will lose.

Maybe one of Lazio's mistakes was keeping Ciro Immobile and not trying other, much younger striker options. We know that Ciro Immobile is a striker who is quite deadly in the opponent's defense and there is no doubt about his finishing. But sometimes age doesn't lie and Ciro Immobile is starting to decline. Lazio this season also often failed to win and if they didn't have sharp attacking players they would also find it difficult to get goals.

Against Juventus shouldn't make Lazio afraid, especially since they will be the hosts. I have repeatedly criticized the performance of the La Vechia Signora squad after not producing a decent win in the last few matches. The double chance option is considered quite safe considering that the match between two strong teams could end in a draw or one of the teams could win. But the match is still quite long and the odds can still change, I will wait to start betting if the match is getting close.

[ndutndut]

I think Juventus will still get a ticket to the Champions League next season. If Juventus continues to play badly like this I think they will be in fourth place and Bologna will overtake Juventus in third place. Of course Roma still have a chance but with 7 games remaining I don't think there will be any more changes in the top 4. I'm not saying AS Roma doesn't have a chance. But I'm sure Bologna or Juventus will try to maintain their position. They will go all out to maintain their ranking from Roma or Atalanta.

Bologna will face Roma and Juventus. And Roma will also play Juventus. I think that will be the ranking for the end of the season.

Juventus in the last few matches has been very bad, if they don't improve immediately, it's not impossible that they will leave the UCl league zone. Bologna and As Roma pose a real threat to Juventus if they don't improve immediately, especially since in the remaining matches Juventus will still face strong teams. Because Roma, after the change of coach, continued to achieve positive results, even losing only once against Inter Milan, De Rossi's presence made As Roma come back to life.

Juventus will visit Lazio's headquarters. Both teams are in bad condition after achieving bad results in the last few matches. This is an important match for Juventus to steal three points so this victory makes them even more confident. If Juventus loses then its position will be threatened by Bologna, because in the same week Bologna will face a bottom team of course the chance of getting three points is very big.

[BitcoinHunt3r]

This season should have ended in the scudetto hunt, but not so with the fight for the top 4 that is now continuing between several clubs, after Juventus experienced poor performance and made them continue to drop to the current rank 3 then it opens up opportunities for other teams to be able to replace Juventus in the standings,  I think the 1.2 rating will belong to the Milan duo, 3 and 4 will probably end up in the hands of Bologna and Roma if Juventus do not rise immediately in the rest of the season.

I think Juventus will still get a ticket to the Champions League next season.

Bologna will face Roma and Juventus. And Roma will also play Juventus. I think that will be the ranking for the end of the season.

Yeah, I'm also sure Juventus will remain in the top 4 as I said before Juventus has played badly in the last few matches but I think that's not the real game I mean Juventus is having fun and I suspect that Juventus is still playing drama, while between Bologna and AS Roma I predict AS Roma will take a place in the top 4 and Bologna will drop to 5th place because I see AS Roma looking more consistent. As you said we won't see changes until the end of the season except for AS Roma and Bologna.

What do you think about Napoli? it looks like they won't be getting any tickets next season even with Atalanta they were unable to compete, Napoli will be 2-5 points behind if Atalanta wins the 29th match. It's a shame to see Napoli out of the top 5 even though last season they were the best team, the change came too quickly and Victor Osimhen, who was the mainstay couldn't do much.

Have you guys seen the performance of Juventus against Genoa? Juventus was really unlucky in that match. The kind of luck that has been following Juventus in recent times. It seems like whatever they do, sometimes it really does not work out. And also in final few minutes the red card for Vlahovic was unnecessary in my opinion.



Anyway, I still think that Juventus is going to finish in the top four. I agree with that. Because I understand that Juventus is going to play against Bologna and Roma. So you know, Juventus has the capability of winning at least one out of those matches. Actually, the real competition is going to be between Roma and Bologna. And that is going to be for the 4th position. But Juventus will have to actually perform better, I will also say that. Because in the recent couple of weeks, things have not been great for them.

[Arenga pinnata]

Before facing this tough match, Bologna must maintain its consistency so as not to lose points and hope that these teams will lose points before meeting them so that even if they face these three teams, Bologna loses or draws, they can still stay in the top 5 and may not be displaced, but neither will Bologna. just expecting it to be like that, he must also have prepared a mature strategy because if it doesn't match his expectations, it will actually complicate his condition. Juventus and Napoli may not be very consistent but AS Roma can be a threat to Bologna because they have performed well recently.

But fortunately in the next 3 matches, it looks like Bologna will have 3 easy matches, namely against Salernitana, Frosinone and Monza. So Bologna will probably remain consistent in these 3 matches and will succeed in getting full points. After that, Bologna will face Roma. And maybe that's when everything will be decided. Namely whether Bologna will succeed in remaining in the top 4 rankings or have the potential to be displaced by Roma. And besides that, playing against Napoli could also be a serious threat. Because Napoli with their new coach looks to be improving. Even Inter Milan was only able to hold Napoli to a draw in the last match.

[TastyChillySauce00]

Considering Juventus won only 1 game in 5 matches, we could say that they really deserved to drop that place without a doubt. I am not saying that they started the season badly or their entire season was bad, but they have been quite terrible for a while now, over a month as well so it is not like a short sting.

Milan managed to get ahead and I think this is how the season will end. First place Inter, second place Milan and third place Juventus seems to be lock, lets see if fourth place will be Bologna or Roma, because both teams are doing fine, Bologna had a great run as well so it is going to be very important to see which one finishes fourth. Neither Lazio nor Napoli are on their old form ,so these two teams are the only ones left for that position.

Juventus has realized that the points left behind in pursuing first place are too far, and it feels impossible to catch up. So many of the Serie A teams are not competing seriously; they are taking better care of their performances so as not to suffer fatal injuries. and second is 14 winning points, which requires quite a lot of wins to win Inter's position, so this is the reason why many Serie A league teams no longer have enthusiasm and prefer to wait for the new season to come.

Acmilan has more points compared to the juventus and old lady is now competing for the UCL spot only. I don't even see the chance owned by juventus to get closer to the intermilan. Intermilan is always performing perfectly in serie a but i don't know what's happening intermilan and it was bottling its performance in UCL.
Intermilan needs to get some wins to ensure the club will be able to win the Scudetto this season. This is not hard to do by a club that is still consistent in defending its win streak. The big clubs can only compete for the UCL soot this time. it's because they have no chance to surpass Intermilan, which is leading the game with very big scores.
Juventus needs to make sure that the club can qualify for the UCL, or it will be a disaster. Some clubs are starting to climb up to srpass Juventus, which is also making the situation even worse. We will see Juventus compete with Roma and Atalana for the UCL spot next season.
It will be hard to believe if Juventus does not qualify for the UCL. The old lady has more than enough to qualify with the current squad. They are capable enough as long as they are playing consistently. The competitions are getting even stricter for Juventus to get a UCL spot. Some clubs are coming back again with their good performances.

[Jatiluhung]

The Bologna team is no longer considered weak this season. In the last few matches we have seen good performances from Bologna players. Bologna have won 7 of the last 8 matches. Defeated only against Inter Milan, narrowly 1-0. Bologna players have performed very well in every match.

The performances of Bologna's attacking players are somewhat erratic, but not weak. But Bologna's defense is very strong. Bologna's defense is stronger than Roma and Atalanta. Also, the players are in a very good rhythm now. So for the fourth place in the table I consider the Bologna team more favorite than Roma and Atalanta.

Maybe Bologna's current standings are proof that Bologna is indeed better than Roma and Atalanta this season. But the question is whether Bologna will be able to continue to maintain their current performance until the end of the season or not. Because currently Roma has shown drastic improvement and looks like it has the potential to overtake Bologna. But Bologna this season is really extraordinary, they even beat Inter Milan this season, namely in the Coppa Italia. And Roma also lost last December. Meanwhile, Atalanta has lost 2 meetings with Bologna this season. So there is no doubt that Bologna is very strong this season.

Yeah with the performance Bologna has posed they are no longer to be considered as a weak team because they have proving in every way that there performance are far better than most clubs in the league, actually I really commend on there efforts because even if they were not doing very well during the beginning of the season but they manage to peak form and improve so well because right now with there current position they will actually qualify for the champions League next season if they are still able to maintain there performance they have now. However there next Italian Serie A match will be against Frosinone and from how Frosinone has been performing very poor this season it will be a good opportunity for Bologna to secure there three points and also use it as an advantage to have some goal difference from others.

But I'm sure Bologna or Juventus will try to maintain their position. They will go all out to maintain their ranking from Roma or Atalanta.

Bologna will face Roma and Juventus. And Roma will also play Juventus. I think that will be the ranking for the end of the season.

Juventus must recover as soon as possible if they want a place in the Champions League next season. Their current position is not completely safe because there are still other teams that can catch up to them, in this case Bologna and also As Roma. Surely AS Roma and Bologna will try hard to get the best place at the end of the season. They only won 1 win in the last 5 matches they played, which is not a good result, even though they only lost once, they still lost 6 points from 3 matches which ended in a draw.
This week they will also have an opponent that cannot be considered easy, they will visit Lazio's headquarters. It's true that Lazio themselves are not in a very strong condition right now, but they still have a big chance of beating or at least holding Juventus to a draw so that Juventus doesn't go home with a smile.

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.

Can I correct you?
at the moment, at the moment they are in the qualifiers for the UEFA Champions League, but there are other teams hot on their heels like Bologna and Roma eager to show what they are worth
Juventus is in third place, and at a handful of points if we want, if they continue to lose or draw in the miserable way they have done in the last few games, they risk leaving the Champions League zone

[hahay]

Juventus-Lazio match will be a difficult match. I can say this easily. Lazio has an offensive line that will put them in a difficult situation. They actually have important offensive players in Serie A, but I think they are in an unlucky year this year. While I thought they would be higher, they are in bad form like Juventus with surprising points losses. It is difficult to predict the outcome of this match, but a draw would be a fair score for both teams.

The matches at Stadio Olimpico between these teams have been quite challenging so far. Both sides got good results. Maybe Lazio are having a worse season than the previous one but Juventus are also on the decline recently. I will try my luck with double chance on Lazio @1.50 because of not thinking they will lose.

Lazio and Juventus at this moment or lately have both gotten bad results and because of that, I personally find it difficult to make a choice in this match. But even so, at least if I consider the odds available although not much different, but at least Juventus are still a little favored even though Juventus play away. But yes, at the same time I also not so sure Juventus will win and because of that, then I think Lazio and Juventus seem to have an equally good chance of winning. But yes, it seems that I personally believe that there are not many goals scored in this match so yes, maybe about under goal option is also a pretty good choice.

[Palakka]

Yeah with the performance Bologna has posed they are no longer to be considered as a weak team because they have proving in every way that there performance are far better than most clubs in the league, actually I really commend on there efforts because even if they were not doing very well during the beginning of the season but they manage to peak form and improve so well because right now with there current position they will actually qualify for the champions League next season if they are still able to maintain there performance they have now. However there next Italian Serie A match will be against Frosinone and from how Frosinone has been performing very poor this season it will be a good opportunity for Bologna to secure there three points and also use it as an advantage to have some goal difference from others.

Bologna is currently in the last slot of the Champions League and it is certainly not an easy job for Bologna to maintain that position until the end of the season, now even Bologna still has a chance to be able to move up one more strip to replace Juventus ranked third if they are able to perform consistently and not drop points in the remaining 9 matches,  this can happen inseparable from Juventus' poor performance which will most likely continue until the end of the season, but it is indeed better for Bologna to think of a more realistic position at this time for them with maintain 4th position from the pursuit of Roma and Atlanta while continuing to run to target Juventus in the Serie A standings later.

Now we have entered the international break and of course this is an opportunity for clubs like Bologna who may not lose many players to call up to the national team so that they can train harder to be able to face the rest of the matches this season, when the match starts in week 30, Bologna should be able to get 9 full points from the 3 easy matches they play before finally facing Roma in a very decisive match in week 33 to maintain their position in the top 4 later.

I think Juventus will still get a ticket to the Champions League next season. If Juventus continues to play badly like this I think they will be in fourth place and Bologna will overtake Juventus in third place. Of course Roma still have a chance but with 7 games remaining I don't think there will be any more changes in the top 4. I'm not saying AS Roma doesn't have a chance.

There are only a few match days remaining and I don’t imagine them getting out of the top 4 which will go to the UEFA Champions League. The current 5th team in Serie A is AS Roma. There is an 8 point gap between AS Roma and Juventus. There are 9 matchdays remaining, But Juventus’ recent result has been bad. Out of the last 5 matches, they have only won 1 and have drawn their latest 2 matches.

But the point gap is too much, to be honest. I believe they will still finish 3rd above Bologna. Both of their next two matches are against hard opponents, but if they manage to sustain them, the rest of the season should be easy.

[Farma]

The Bologna team is no longer considered weak this season. In the last few matches we have seen good performances from Bologna players. Bologna have won 7 of the last 8 matches. Defeated only against Inter Milan, narrowly 1-0. Bologna players have performed very well in every match.

However there next Italian Serie A match will be against Frosinone and from how Frosinone has been performing very poor this season it will be a good opportunity for Bologna to secure there three points and also use it as an advantage to have some goal difference from others.

Bologna have shown impressive performance since the start of the season and they are now very much favored to finish in the top 4.
In terms of team quality and also the consistency of the Bologna team this season is very good so in my opinion it is very feasible if they can finish in the top 4 and get a ticket to the Champions League next season.

The competition for the top 4 positions in the Serie A standings is currently quite interesting, not only Bologna and Roma are competing but suddenly Juventus, which continues to decline, has entered the competition and even Juventus is now very threatened.
In the remaining matches this season, these teams are forced to be consistent and of the 3 teams, I am quite optimistic about Bologna being able to do it.

[beerlover]

Juventus in the last few matches has been very bad, if they don't improve immediately, it's not impossible that they will leave the UCl league zone. Bologna and As Roma pose a real threat to Juventus if they don't improve immediately, especially since in the remaining matches Juventus will still face strong teams.

If Juventus loses then its position will be threatened by Bologna, because in the same week Bologna will face a bottom team of course the chance of getting three points is very big.

I wonder if it is more like "give up" feeling. They were going for the title and they did their best, failed of course but they tried their best. After they realized that they can't get it and Inter did so well, they might have given up on the league.

Yes, they could have at least kept the second place, but they didn't see the point, not like there is a big money difference and team is responsible for it not the players. So, they just maybe gave up? That would be very weird but not unheard of, some teams just crumble after their goal is taken from them. I think Juventus is the type of team that goes for the title, and when they fail to do that then rest doesn't really matter to them anymore, they feel like that is all that matters.

The investigation for Acerbi about racism case is still under investigation as it is not yet clear how things went but it is difficult to believe that a person could make up accusations of false racism, even if anything is possible.

In the meantime, the player has been excluded from matches with the national team as a precaution and will not play friendly matches during this break.
