Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Oluwa-btc]

Milan have done a really good job by taking advantage of Juventus' bad form recently. They are at the second position now after this. I find their productivity quite decent this season compared to their nearest opponents like Juventus and Bologna. The main problem is more related to Milan's defending. They have conceded 33 goals in 29 games. 

They can actually solve this problem by transferring better defenders this summer. They spent 100 million+ euros in total for transfers last summer if I'm not wrong. They should focus on their defense line more next time they make transfers. If they conceded much less goals than this now they could have been in the title race.

During the weeks they played the Champions League Competition, they was totally lost as if they have never played football during the group stage of the UEFA Champion's League Competition.
Amongst them, I've seen players from Chelsea who moved down that ends improving. Both Oliver Giroud, Christan Pulisic and lastly Loftus Cheek all have improved from the way they do play when they was with Chelsea. Made the pressure too much was highly on Pioli and he needed to fail to get some valuable lessons.

They shouldn't look at just the defenders. The defensive midfielder role is also important as they would be able to shield up the defenders all through the gane and more.
Juventus will definitely come to mutual agreement with Max Allegri so they could terminate his contact.

Sometimes, even though a team has a good performance, there are things that are missing from their view. It's possible that Milan is currently ahead of Juventus in the standings, but as you said, they have conceded so many goals and that is a serious problem, especially for a big team. Maybe even though Milan often concede goals, they have a reliable squad so this is not a problem because they can always be productive.

But the most fearful thing is if a player experiences a decline in performance and this is caused by many factors. It seems like Milan doesn't want that to happen and they have to avoid this problem as much as possible. Well, defensive players are one of the important keys so that they don't concede too many goals because the defense also has to be strong even though their attack line is always productive. I think Pioli is also preparing a list of players they are ready to recruit at the end of the season.

I find their productivity quite decent this season compared to their nearest opponents like Juventus and Bologna. The main problem is more related to Milan's defending. They have conceded 33 goals in 29 games. 

Indeed. In fact, previously, I had ignored Milan because the club's performance had dropped quite drastically at that time. And makes us think, oh never mind, there is no hope for Milan anymore. However, as time went by, when Juventus started to fall, Milan was in fact able to rise again. Yes, even though AC Milan will not get the Schudetto trophy this season, their position as runners up is quite good. Moreover, when Milan took over Juventus' position, this was quite dramatic in the end.

And this position should still persist. Because in the next match, AC Milan's opponent is Fiorentina while Juventus is vs Lazio. Indeed, Fiorentina is not a small team, in fact they are often troublesome and strong. But on the other hand, Lazio for Juventus will also be quite burdensome.

And what's unique is, the four clubs will compete to the best of their ability, because after all, the four clubs are also fighting for top position. If they lose, then they will be taken over by another club that wins. Unless their fellow rival loses, that's fine, it will end the same way.

[KTChampions]

Comparison with the points gap between 1st and 2nd or 3rd standings position, Serie A competition still not excited yet and the same last season fighting race where Napoli more dominance and lead the first position with many points left. In this season Inter Milan are close forward for winning Scudetto behind 14 points left and seems over for Milan stopping Inter become the winner.
Inconsistency performance with the rival teams such Milan, Juventus make easily for Inter taking three points on every match, just last match against Napoli Inter had loss three points but still manage the first standings behind 14 points left.
I don't sure with Milan and Juventus keep consistent until 9 matches left and Inter not have to work hard for winning the Scudetto in this season just waiting the failure of AC Milan and Juventus securing three points.

There are 9 games until the end of the tournament, which means that each team can score a maximum of 27 points. It is difficult to imagine a situation where Inter will score less than 14 out of 27 points and Milan will take all 27. Moreover, after the defeat from Atlético, Inter no longer have another tournament on which they could concentrate, so it is likely that Inter will score close to 27 points, and their competitors will go at their own pace (they will score less).

[QueenVera]

Indeed, it is certain that Juventus will not be able to catch up with Inter Milan, which currently has 76 points, with difference of 15 points from Juventus and this is very big difference.
Juventus only hope is to try and fight hard to win runners-up.
In the future, they must be more consistent with stable performance to prevent Bologna from taking over the 3rd position which is currently occupied by Juventus, although many people are starting to doubt Juventus, but I am sure they can do it by fighting for runners-up.
Nothing is impossible if there is determination and also making amends for several mistakes that have occurred so that Juventus must learn from experience and achieve more wins in the existing matches to finish this season competition.
Seeing Juventus developing well, I have little hope for them to remain in 2nd or 3rd position and try to get UCL ticket next season because this season they lost their ticket because of mistakes they made last season.

Moreover, Bologna is not strong team, although I admit that Bologna is team with pretty good defense.
Bologna chance to overtake Juventus is when they meet but I still believe Juventus will be able to beat them.

For the Italian teams at the moment, they'll be focusing their strength on the domestic Serie A league and they ought to be doing excellently well in it. Especially Juventus, they've even had a greater chance of being far ahead in the standings than the likes of Inter Milan because for others, after the league games, they'd still have to play the continental tournament and this will definitely affect players' physical capabilities too. Although, inasmuch as a weighty gap is expected of them, Inter Milan has made it difficult because they've also been in their best form. At thesame time, it'll not be hard to stay in shape to earn a ticket to next season's European contests.

 They've been able to play resiliently and the results so far is fit to help them earn this ticket but the difficulty they may face this season is the trophy of the Serie A, the top contenders won't let it slip away from them, they're in their own way and end putting streanous efforts to ensure that they get the maximum number of points to keep the gaps and help them win the trophy. There's really no time to make a difference but they themselves know it's not going to be as easy as it ought to be considering the intensity in games this season.

 Inter are ahead with a reasonable point gap and undeniably, they're are proving to keep up with consistencies which if met, Juventus no matter what won't be able to catch up to them. Inter are no longer faced with the European contest and so for inter Milan and Juventus, they've still got extra time to prepare ahead for the league games. Against Atletico Madrid, Inter Milan did well to stay in the game but it wasn't just well enough to help them advance in the contest. They've gained enough grounds this season and it's profitable to them considering how well and useful their position has been and will be for them in subsequent games and seasons too.

Juventus may be done this season if it gets out of the competition to get a UCL spot. The fact that if i have seen that many times juventus is bottling the games at the end of season. This can be the last chance for allegri to ensure his club goes to the UCL next season.
This is the last time Allegri stays in Juventus and the club will sack him soon.

This is clearly Allegri's biggest challenge to be able to revive the enthusiasm of his team to improve their game at least so they can win, because they played very badly in the last few matches which made them lose points, it is clearly very detrimental to Juventus if it continues like that, it could be Allegri He will be fired if he fails to get a UCL ticket next season and finish in the top four, which is very important for Juventus' future next season after their failure last season due to a score reduction penalty.

After experiencing failure to compete against Inter Milan and experiencing defeat by Inter Milan at that time Juventus played without having the enthusiasm to win and experienced a series of bad results which made them lose points and if they continued like that it would continue to make them worse off, therefore Juventus You have to be able to take advantage of the opportunity in the last few matches before the end of the season, at least stay on the winning track to be able to finish in the top four, at least a narrow win is not a problem, as long as you get full points, that is more than enough.

[Jatiluhung]

14 difference points and with only 9 matches remaining i think it's hard for Milan or even Juventus can taking over first place from Inter Milan moreover Inter Milan is too consistent compared to them and Inter Milan last loses in Serie A was happened on September last year and since that Inter Milan was unstoppable because they almost can beat their opponents for each matches and after eliminate in Champion League Inter Milan will playing at Serie A only so they can be more focus to secured first place and probably gets the Scudetto before this season ended

Is it realistic to consider probability that Juventus will take over the first position from Inter Milan whilst they already lost a second position to AC Milan. Juventus held the second position for some months but now they are 3 points less than AC Milan and have to chase AC Milan to take the second position back.

AC Milan with 14 points less than Inter Milan and Juventus with 17 points less than Inter Milan, they both have no chance to catch Inter Milan. What they need to do is defend their second and third positions whist using rest matches of this season as trials and preparations for their next season.

They can do it with a task to secure their positions at the season ending. Trials and preparations for next season are good only if they won't lose their positions in top four.

I think we can be sure that this season's title will be Inter Milan's. Because Inter Milan also seems to be able to improve their performance in Serie A. After they failed in the UCL. Just like Napoli last season, they also ensured they won the title before the season ended, and this time it's Inter Milan's turn to do it.

AC Milan and Juventus they just need to stay where they are now. And Juventus, which seems to be experiencing a decline in performance, must also remain vigilant because their current position is actually not completely safe because in just a few matches, if Juventus continues to lose points, Juventus' position could be threatened by Bologna and Roma.

You should be more careful in the match between Genoa vs Frosinone, I know Genoa is better and playing at home but don't forget Frosinone is struggling to get out of the relegation zone this means they really need points 1-3 points are very important for them there is a possibility both teams draw or even Frosinone win. If you are sure Genoa win it doesn't matter because this is my personal prediction I mean anything can happen even what we have never thought of before.

The same thing might happen in the Inter Milan vs Empoli match Inter Milan is safe at the top of the standings so that whatever the results of the match did not have an impact on their position whereas Empoli really need points to stay away from degradation. I'm just sure of the Bologna and AS Roma match because these two teams are competing to get one ticket to the Champions League so they will do anything before the season ends, but if you want to take risks, go ahead.

I think Pioli is also preparing a list of players they are ready to recruit at the end of the season.

Actually AC Milan is just three points away from Juventus which I don't see to really be a big deal in that Juventus can still be able to meet up or probably displace them depending on whatever the case maybe, if Juventus gets to win their next game they will be at equal points with AC Milan except if AC Milan aswell gets to win their own next fixture too but if it happens that they draw or win then Juventus will still be behind them.

Milan will actually try their best to do everything in their power to keep the team at the top because they would want to make sure they are still fit for the Europa because they also have the Europa league game to tackle too after the serie A games and so their form will most definitely not be same as that of Juventus who has got only the serie A to play, it's very possible that Juventus may get ahead of AC Milan subsequently if they improve their performance and as they have got only the serie A to play but then AC Milan still have the Europa to play too.

The fact that AC Milan has conceded too many goals is actually a problem because since they are looking like they are going side by side with Juventus, if they happen to get a tie, they would use the goal difference to position them but then it's going to be in the favour of Juventus in that they will have lesser goals but AC Milan has concede too many goals already which is actually detrimental to their position on the table.

Just like Napoli last season, they also ensured they won the title before the season ended, and this time it's Inter Milan's turn to do it.

And Juventus, which seems to be experiencing a decline in performance, must also remain vigilant because their current position is actually not completely safe because in just a few matches, if Juventus continues to lose points, Juventus' position could be threatened by Bologna and Roma.

There is no longer a title race at this time in Serie A after Inter Milan managed to run without any obstacles, and at the moment they are just trying to keep their chances of getting the Scudetto sooner before the season ends, in conditions like now, I don't think any team is indeed able to thwart Inter Milan's Scudetto this season especially with their performance that continues to be consistent in overcoming the opponents of each rival,  Of the remaining 9 matches that exist today, of course, Inter Milan only needs a few more wins for them to celebrate the Scudetto.

Currently Ac Milan and Juventus, only have the target to maintain their position in the standings because logically chasing Intermilan is an impossibility for them at the moment, Ac Milan's performance allows them to end the season in the Champions League zone, while Juventus I doubt that, because after all Juventus has now entered a critical phase where victory seems to be a very difficult thing for them to get at the moment.

It looks like Milan and AS Roma have the same goal total so far for results in Serie A but indeed, AS Roma conceded slightly more than Milan but the difference is only two goals. Therefore, it doesn't seem surprising that in the end AS Roma also has a chance to finish in the top four, and the appointment of De Rossi as head coach to replace Mourinho really has a good impact on AS Roma at the moment. But regarding Milan, I think they just need to focus first on finishing this season, because the transfer market will also happen for next season. Therefore, of course it would be more appropriate if Milan could improve their defense line for the rest of this season to be able to maintain their position in second place.

You can say yes and you can also say no, but it is true that Milan have been good at catching up with Juventus when Juventus have experienced a problem in their team that makes them unable to stay besrasing with Intermilan who are at the top of the table.
It is quite sad for Juventus and even though in the last match they could keep up with the attack from Inter Milan last week, it was good enough rather than getting defeated.

Milan are bad about their defense, but it seems like they haven't found a suitable candidate for a strong defense, but it's not a good thing to focus on defense, their central midfielders are also not good in my opinion, several times there is always a miss of communication and maybe need a central player in midfield so that it can connect between the back to the front line in building an effective and efficient attack.

Easy this week

• Bologna - Salernitana i will bet on Bologna
• Inter Milan - Empoli i will bet on Inter Milan

I am playing it safe this week
I bet on Inter and Bologna who face very poor teams so a very easy bet from this point of view

If you look at the differences between the two teams that will compete, this should be an easy win for the bet we made, because the opponents that Bologna and Inter Milan will face are no better in quality and appearance than them. So this should be an easy win for Bologna and Inter Milan.
Easy bets like this are fun, because our chances of winning are bigger, but of course the odds offered are not that big so one way to make our odds bigger is to do a multi bet like this.
To be honest, I will bet in multi bets on several matches from different leagues, usually Serie A, English League, La Liga and Bundesliga are always on my multi bet betting list. But I also lose more often than I win by making that bet. Even so, I can still enjoy it because one of my goals in betting is to make the atmosphere when watching matches much hotter because there is the tension we feel when we see multi bets on our betting list. Usually when I want to win I will only bet on 2 or 3 matches.

Is it realistic to consider probability that Juventus will take over the first position from Inter Milan whilst they already lost a second position to AC Milan. Juventus held the second position for some months but now they are 3 points less than AC Milan and have to chase AC Milan to take the second position back.

AC Milan with 14 points less than Inter Milan and Juventus with 17 points less than Inter Milan, they both have no chance to catch Inter Milan. What they need to do is defend their second and third positions whist using rest matches of this season as trials and preparations for their next season.

They can do it with a task to secure their positions at the season ending. Trials and preparations for next season are good only if they won't lose their positions in top four.

With these points you mentioned, I think Inter Milan have secured the first position, and they may win the title if they continue to dominate and continue winning matches. However, I don't think they have any team that will be a challenge for Inter Milan because they have been unbeaten throughout the season; they have been constantly winning matches, which means they will do everything they can to get the title this season, so let's see how they will end their season because AC Milan and Juventus are also looking for ways to top the table. 

[reagansimms]

Allegri could not deliver what was expected, especially in the last 2 months. Juventus, who had lost points in almost all of their 2-month matches, was on the field. I expected a better performance from them this year because they had the opportunity to rest more while their opponents were tired by playing European matches. They failed again and I think Allegri should quit team now.

Yes, Allegri is having a bad day with Juventus, it seems like something went wrong in the dressing room which has an impact on his performance on the pitch. The Old Lady has dropped quite a lot of points recently with only one win in the eight matches she has played, which is a very ironic achievement.

Previously I thought that Juventus this season would be a Scudetto contender and of course that was quite reasonable because they only focused on local competitions, but the reality is far from expectations and is now far behind Inter Milan. Therefore, it is appropriate for Juventus management to take quick action by overhauling the entire team for better targets.

Allegri is not the only person responsible for Juventus' poor performance in the last few matches, club management also needs to correct itself due to the lack of quality players available in the Juventus squad. Previously, Allegri had brought Juventus to the top of the standings and was considered to be one of the title contenders even though his squad as a whole still lacked several great players. After several key players were injured, Juventus struggled to return to their best form as a Scudetto contender, they were only able to get 7 points in the last eight matches and are starting to fall out of the Scudetto contenders this season.

Allegri certainly doesn't want himself to be the target of fans' anger due to the bad results achieved by Juventus. He has tried to find balance in the Juventus squad despite the lack of quality players, but in the end he was still unable to make Juventus a team capable of competing with Inter Milan due to the limited quality players they have.

The Juventus team management has to evaluate this from now on or when the season is over, because as you said, at the start of this season Juventus also looked good before conditions like now happened to them. And if the team really wants to remove Allegri from the Juventus team, the team must first look at a replacement with greater experience so that they can bring Juventus to a better level than this season in the future.

[Leviathan.007]

Juventus is very lucky to have been in the position they are right now otherwise they wouldn't have made it to the top 4 again with the bad performance they have recorded lately, the matches are remaining few they can end up dropping more points for Bologna to be ahead of them but they will definitely be in the top4 like wise bologna but since the matches are still remaining for them to play, Roma till have good chances of being among the top4 but their chances depend on the results of Juventus and bologna.

The top four are mainly for the club's that's clinching for the UEFA Champions League spot for next season. I know it's difficult but they have to make attempts. Juventus have declined in performance, it's been one of the poor performance and terrible season. The Old Lady's have fallen from the top competitive clubs for the scudetto, lifting the title does appear to be impossible for them this season. They have Inter Milan ontop and we know how challenging it will be for these clubs to continue fighting for titles without actual hardwork to reach far this season.

There is no point in discussing the scudetto winner it definitely has Inter Milan this season they would end the season with a good record of 1-3 losses while Juventus is only focused on staying in the top 4 which I'm sure they will be safe, what I'm worried about is that Bologna is not yet safe I've been saying this for the last 2 months especially now that we see that AS Roma is playing consistently.

It is clear that AS Roma has the ambition to play in the Champions League next season, we can see this determination next month when the two clubs fight each other in April  one of them will lose points and AS Roma as the home team will take advantage. One win was not enough for AS Roma they also had to wait for Bologna to be beaten by Juventus and Napoli towards the end of the season because Bologna only has 3 strong opponents in the remaining matches.

After De Rossi joined Roma they are getting better and better. Roma seems motivated more than before and there is a better atmosphere in this team than in the last weeks before De Rossi, they are trying to get their team to the top of the Serie A table and get the Champions League ticket. Roma is trying to have a long-term investment and that's why they are trying to hire the players they are going to need for the next season.
Loris Karius is the player who was linked to Roma. Loris Karius couldn't have a good performance at all in the teams he played for Liverpool and Newcastle and other teams, he was a very unstable goalkeeper but he is currently linked to Roma to be the second goalkeeper in this team however Roma is not very interested in hiring this goalkeeper.

AC Milan actually needs to improve in all parts of the field to win a Serie A. But for now, they have to start with improving their weakest part, their defense. Their Goalkeeper Maignan is a good goalkeeper. I don’t think the problem is with him but with the Centre backs. If the manager can get a good amount of budget and build the squad after getting 2-3 signings, the team might win the Serie A next season.

As for Juventus, I think it is just a temporary bad form from them. They will bounce back I'm quite sure.
They had been under very bad performance in the recent few seasons and were far from their glory days. But now they look like they have found the path of comeback.  They are still far from the European Cup, but it is good to see that the Serie A teams are slowly getting back to their glory days.
