Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Lillominato89]

Daniele De Rossi has had a great start to life as the new Roma coach, and his chances to remain in charge at the Stadio Olimpico in 2024-25 are rising.
Eyebrows were raised when the former Italian midfielder and Roma legend replaced José Mourinho in mid-January. The Portuguese coach had a special place in the hearts of Roma fans, despite frankly disappointing results in Serie A over his two-and-a-half-year reign.

De Rossi’s Roma has a great chance to finish in the top four. They just have to be more consistent. They cannot afford to lose or drop points at this moment. The team that is ahead of them, Bologna, has a 3-point advantage over them. Bologna is also performing well at this moment. So it is going to be hard for Roma to actually finish in the top four. But it is obviously still possible. And the way Roma has improved, I think they have enough time to achieve the fourth position and finish in that position. I do not think Roma has any direct threat from Atalanta or Napoli at the moment.

But the problem is Roma is going to face Bologna, Atalanta, Juventus, Napoli, Milan in future matches. So it is going to be really hard for them to actually improve their standing and be on the 4th position in the end.

he is younger than Mourinho so it makes sense that De Rossi might have a great chance of being able to take Roma to a higher level with the new strategy he has because he is a slightly younger coach with good experience when he was a football player before.
usually coaches who are slightly younger have new strategies that are suitable enough to be able to provide improvements like what Roma is currently experiencing.
If we talk about the remaining match schedule for this season, it's not just Roma that has a tough match schedule, but also several top teams will have matches against teams that can make it difficult to reach a higher position and I'm sure that De Rossi can at least survive until the end of the season maintains Roma to finish in the best position to get a UCL ticket or at least a ticket to the european league.

Mourinho has given a lot to Roma, let's not forget that he managed to win a European trophy like the conference league and reach the Europa League final last year. Roma had not achieved these results for decades, and even if the conference league is not as prestigious as the Champions League it still brings home some prestige and fills the trophy cabinet.
Daniele De Rossi has been doing well since coming to the Roma bench, but will he be able to do better than Mourinho?
It is hard to say, and he should win the Europa League

But the problem is Roma is going to face Bologna, Atalanta, Juventus, Napoli, Milan in future matches. So it is going to be really hard for them to actually improve their standing and be on the 4th position in the end.

AS Roma will only fight to qualify for the UEFA Champions League this season, they're just few points behind Bologna and they're taking it as a crucial plan to execute. AS Roma stats this season, 15W 6D 8L in 28 games this season. Daniele De Rossi have been available in the crucial areas and heading direct to progressing the team's performance bit by bit. He's new to the managerial system and what he needs is time to fit in, we know how exceptionally the coach will grow to managed the club.

Roma is on a very difficult situation to compete the fourth position because like you mentioned about the clubs they will be meeting very soon, I doubt if they can withstand the pressure they will likely face and also considering the clubs involved I don't think Roma has the performance to get to the fourth position because we have more capable clubs that's currently above them which is Bologna, Juventus and AC Milan and there is no way they can outperform those teams because they are very consistent this season, so in other words I think what Roma should do right now is just focus on maintaining the current position they are because the fourth position will be very difficult for them to achieve.

The chance of being in the top four is as big as the chance of being displaced by Atalanta and also both teams can be said to have the same strength with performances that are not much different where they can lose or win against any team.

AS Roma together with Danielle De Rossi have indeed experienced very encouraging developments and it could be said to be beyond many people's predictions, and so far De Rossi has succeeded in making this team a little more stable.

However, when facing strong teams like the ones you mentioned, their performance is very doubtful, especially when they have to face Bologna and Atalanta, who can be said to have the same target of being in the top four because playing in the Champions League will give them the opportunity to earn more income, but In terms of quality, the teams will still have difficulty competing in the Champions League, because their quality will be different from many other strong teams from other leagues in Europe.

Damnit! They have tougher games ahead than I thought, how they handle these game and pressure would definitely show the strength of De Rossi as manager.
The last six games looks crazy and it looks like they'd only be able to win two out of the last six which would be against Genoa and Empoli.
Also I wonder how they'll cope with the pressure amd games of the European Europa League Competition without a proper squad with depth, they could go forward and also fall off. Anything could happen in these times.

Bologna, Napoli, Juventus and Atalanta are amongst the last six games to be played. How many wins would be possible here? Rossi has been a great introduction anyways.

Roma has 10 matches left in the Serie A this season. Out of the 10 matches, I expect they should at least be able to win four. my speculation says three matches are going to be losses for them. Milan, Bologna and Juventus, these three matches I am going to say they will lose. I
In this scenario, I think four wins, three draws, and three losses, that is going to be the outcome.
Of course, in the best case scenario, they will not lose a single match and from the very hard matches, they will be able to get one point. But if we talk about the worst case scenario, it is going to be very different. And I hope for the sake of De Rossi, it doesn't get to the worst case scenario.

But the problem is Roma is going to face Bologna, Atalanta, Juventus, Napoli, Milan in future matches. So it is going to be really hard for them to actually improve their standing and be on the 4th position in the end.

Looking at this fact, I think Roma should be more realistic because it will be hard for them to gain full points against above mentioned teams. Keeping their current position and maybe focusing more to win Europa League is better option than trying to finish on the top 4 at Serie A. Although to win Europa League is also not easy for them but I think winning all the remaining matches in Serie A to be on top 4 at the end of season is harder.

First of all, I would say this is not impossible to win against every single opponent. But the likelihood of that happening is very unlikely. And they will also have to play the Europa League quarter-final against Milan. And the matches of both competitions are going to get quite congested. That will probably mean a few players getting injured. So looking at all the facts, I think Roma will probably not finish in the top four and they will be very lucky if they are able to hold on to their fifth position, to be honest. I also don't think they will be winning the Europa League as well.

They were matched against Milan in the quarter-finals and two very difficult matches await them. Milan are very good in the league and settled in second place. Of course, Serie A is important for Rome, but what is more important than that will be to win both matches against Milan in the UEL Quarter-finals and advance to the semi-finals. Priorities for this may change. Serie A may remain in the background.

[naira]

Napoli simply looked like a squad that had just been promoted to their league this season, and their performance was very poor, i did not see Napoli as a team that has return to their winning ways after their Champions League loss to Barcelona. Napoli is struggling to get into the top of the league this season despite winning the Seria A championship previous season. Napoli is nine points out of the top four in the league right now, in seventh place. I didn't expect Napoli to struggle with their games this season, even if winning the league is going to be tough to achieve again this season, at least they should qualify for the next Champions League but i don't see any chances again. In their upcoming match, Napoli will play against Atalanta, I can see if they are back to their high level of play.

Even though Napoli were ideal last season, they are still not one of the clubs that can be consistent, because competing in Serie A requires a long lasting mentality and reputation. For example Inter, Juventus and Milan, even though they lost last season in the race for the trophy, this season they still exist and in any situation in Serie A these clubs have become an inseparable part. After Inter failed to extend their trend in the UCL, this made them even more focused on locking up the trophy this season. So I'm sure Inter, Milan and Juventus will secure UCL tickets next season.

Among the remaining 9 matches, in terms of quality, of course, there is no club that might be able to prevent Intermilan from winning the Scudetto this season, because indeed the pessimistic attitude we have today is of course based on the reality that exists when Intermilan currently has performance and quality far above other Serie A teams, with a gap of 14 points that exist now, of course we are just waiting for time to see Intermilan celebrate the Scudetto in time is not far away.

I personally predict that the game against Milan will be a celebration of Inter Milan's Scudetto, because I think the match will be very crucial to make it even more impossible for Milan to chase points, currently the only way for Milan to thwart Intermilan's Scudeto faster is to beat Intermilan in the derby and they can no longer lose the rest of the season,  So that makes Intermilan have to celebrate the Scudetto towards the end of the season and not even make AC Milan languish even more when Intermilan has to celebrate the Scudetto at home Milan.

On paper, Inter Milan has a big chance of locking up the Scudetto more quickly, thanks to the point difference that has been formed at this time. If Milan does not consistently secure full points in the following matches, then Inter Milan can seal the Scudetto more quickly. There are several important matches that Inzaghi squad must face in the future, one of which is facing eternal rival Milan. I predict victory will return to Inter Milan side like in the first half of the season, considering that Inter Milan is now only focused on Serie A. in my opinion, the competition for the Scudetto is over, because it's just a matter of time.

On the other hand, the more interesting competition in the future is the fight for fourth place in the standings, Bologna and Roma are now competing fiercely to get tickets to appear in the Champions League next season. It can be said that Milan and Juventus will not be knocked out of the top four, so the remaining tickets will continue to be up for grabs until the end of the season. The difference in points between Bologna and Roma is very small, so the two teams need to try hard to ensure a place in the top four. With Roma current performance improving, De Rossi looks like he will be able to bring his squad to overtake Bologna.

I don’t think there is any point in predicting or discussing who will be the champions of Serie A this season because it is pretty much clear at this point that Inter Milan will be the champions of Serie A this season. The point gap is too huge and 9 matches are not enough to coming close to Inter Milan let alone prevent them from winning Serie A.

The relegation battle is rather more exciting. It is getting very spicy out there. There is only a 4 point difference between the 13th placed team and 18th placed team. No one in this range should be feeling safe about their stay in Serie A for next season. I believe Salernitana will be relegated this season. They have only 14 points right now. The comeback from this will be too hard and pretty much impossible.

The 4th place fight is also very exciting as Bologna and Roma are fighting for it. But I think the way Roma are playing right now, they will take it.

This and that. Roma can beat Bologna in a direct match and take over a fourth position from Bologna by having same points but with better goal difference. However there are more matches till the season ending and Roma will have to meet some big opponents too (I didn't check their schedule but assume your information is correct) so they will have risk to lose points.

This will cause them to face with risk of being flipped by Bologna and even by Atalanta, Napoli. Assume Juventus and AC Milan will take the second and third position, Roma will have to compete with Bologna, Atalanta and Napoli for best, a fourth position, and worse the fifth position. If Serie A ends this season well, they will have five spots for Champions League 2024 - 2025 but Italian clubs have to fight for it in Europa League and Conference League.

Even though Napoli were ideal last season, they are still not one of the clubs that can be consistent, because competing in Serie A requires a long lasting mentality and reputation. For example Inter, Juventus and Milan, even though they lost last season in the race for the trophy, this season they still exist and in any situation in Serie A these clubs have become an inseparable part. After Inter failed to extend their trend in the UCL, this made them even more focused on locking up the trophy this season. So I'm sure Inter, Milan and Juventus will secure UCL tickets next season.

Consistency is the most important thing in a competition. Inter, Juventus, and Milan have indeed demonstrated their resilience and enduring presence in the league over the years, which undoubtedly gives them an edge in securing Champions League tickets season after season. The disappointment of falling short in certain competitions can be a catalyst for these established clubs to refocus and redouble their efforts in pursuit of success. Napoli have no tradition of winning trophies, they won some occasionally.

Inter having setback in the UEFA Champions League could very well fuel their determination to clinch the Serie A title this season that showcases their ability to bounce back stronger. The resources available to clubs like Inter, Juventus, and Milan often contribute to their sustained competitiveness. These clubs boast strong financial backing and a history of attracting top talent, all of which play crucial roles in maintaining their status as Serie A mainstays and contenders for European qualification. Napoli may indeed face challenges in consistently matching the longevity and stability of these perennial powerhouses.

They are just going through a phase due to the change of coach they had at the beginning of the new season, it would have been a different story and they probably would have been challenging for the trophy this season again.  Juventus have enough talent to be consistent for 2 or more seasons but the change of coach brought about a different mentality and it is now like they are starting all over again. I didn’t expect them to drop too much in performance at least they could have maintained a top 4 position even if they couldn’t win the title.

Serie A have been a challenging competition recently that we have seen different teams win the title and it now like no team is winning it in a row. They need to adjust their performance else there will be no hope for Napoli again next season also as Inter Milan and juventus will still be among the top contenders for the title next season.

But you aren't saying that the change of the coach is the only reason why Napoli turned from a deadly winning machine into a toothless tiger, are you? In other words, wherever Spalletti is going, that club will win almost every game in the future and as soon as Spalletti leaves that club again, then the club will turn into a losing team or an average team?

I don't know what the presumption here is, but is your point based on data or evidence? Or do you just suspect that Spalletti is a magician who through his magic hands and words turns a team into a dominant Serie A winner and without his magic, the same team falls into shambles?

It's a big claim, but if you can come up with a good explanation as to why you think this holds true, I would be interesting in hearing your point in more detail again.

Mourinho has given a lot to Roma, let's not forget that he managed to win a European trophy like the conference league and reach the Europa League final last year. Roma had not achieved these results for decades, and even if the conference league is not as prestigious as the Champions League it still brings home some prestige and fills the trophy cabinet.
Daniele De Rossi has been doing well since coming to the Roma bench, but will he be able to do better than Mourinho?
It is hard to say, and he should win the Europa League

It is very difficult to forget Mourinho's services to Roma and even though he has been a serious obstacle this season, previously with Roma he has provided worthy titles. I still recognize him as a successful coach and even though the end of his career at Roma was less than satisfactory, it is only natural that if he feels inadequate then his task must be taken care of by the next coach.

De Rossi, who came as his replacement, also recorded spectacular results and until now he is still consistently providing the best results for Roma. But if we talk about whether De Rossi is better than Mourinho, of course it is still very far for him to be said to be better and at least he has to prove it by achieving a real title for Roma. But the problem is, if this season is good enough in De Rossi's hands, will he be able to repeat it next season or will he be destroyed again? maybe it's still something we don't know yet and I have a feeling it's not good enough.

Currently, it is still quite difficult for us to make an assessment about De Rossi. Because after all, he is still a young coach and doesn't have much experience at big European clubs. And now he has the opportunity in Rome and it is a great opportunity to improve his reputation in the world of coaching there. And yes, now everyone is starting to recognize the greatness of De Rossi who was able to make Roma improve after being left by Mourinho. But at the moment he is not yet comparable to Mourinho, who won Roma the European League trophy at the start of the season he joined Roma. And perhaps De Rossi must be able to do it too if he wants to be considered on a par with Mourinho.

1 week away and another crucial game for Juventus, can they win or they gonna risk the spot in the next Champions?

If Juventus cannot beat the 9th team with a goal difference of +3 in Serie A then maybe they simply do not belong in the Champions League?  Although in fact Juventus' advantage over 5th place is such that they do not risk anything.
I'm more interested in the game Napoli - Atalanta. Napoli seems to have passed the stage of the deepest crisis, but now they always have the most difficult opponents and they constantly have problems in order to take 3 points. This game will also be no exception - Atalanta at a minimum wants to get into the Europa League, and at the most, maintain its chances for the Champions League.

Roma faces the league's toughest team. Bologna and Atalanta are serious teams. Top talent. The BEST coaches would worry about De Rossi's workload. You think I wouldnt lose sleep over this? They have potential and passion, but can they deliver consistently? Thats the important question. Genoa and Empoli can handle them. Other contests can make or break a season.

De Rossi is smart and gives Roma fresh life. Thats valuable. But facing teams competing for the same trophies? Thats another level. More than winning matches, it's about showing your worth. I believe in De Rossi's style, but talk is cheap. Roma must prove themselves, and that schedule will push them to.

Seria A is difficult and challenging for everyone this season. It takes only the strong to survived. We can be easier on these teams but not when we're guiding  our odds which will results to profits for us. Napoli have failed to utilized their chances of winning this season, they lost points against easy opponents due to underrating percentage on these opponents. Perhaps Napoli will bounce back stronger but definitely not this season, we have watch closely how this particular elite team failed to meet the top after one brilliant season.

This season Napoli has experienced more bad things so they can't occupy a very good position, but in the next match I also want to see how Napoli tries to take Atalanta's position in the standings. Because the two will meet in a follow-up match where Atalanta is the visiting team and Napoli is the host and I hope Napoli can get full points in order to shift Atalanta's position in the top six. Because that is much more possible for Napoli at the moment than a higher ranking.

[tusandii]

Yes, it's true that it requires a big mentality to compete in Serie A to get the Scudetto title, but it's not just about mentality but also about how consistent management in retaining the best players and also retaining experienced coaches.
Since last season, Napoli management has not been consistent, always replacing coaches several times, as the club does not have great consistency, which has had an impact on Napoli performance, which has become very bad.
With this kind of inconsistency, Napoli will not be able to achieve good results in Serie A, even in the Champions League, their chances are very small, even though they have tried several times but still failed.
Napoli management seems to consider football like a child's game and when they fail they always replace the coach, while replacing the coach repeatedly causes negative impact on the future of their own club.

I can still admit that Napoli is part of a big Serie A team, but not an elite team. Because basically, Napoli is not always able to be in the titlerace everyseason, so it is notsurprising and notstrange if this season Napoli is not in the title race and even Napoli not in the top four. For me, the results obtained by Napoli this season are still normal results, it doesn't matter about Napoli who managed to win the Scudetto last season because anyway, the fact is that last season teams like Milan, Inter and Juventus also didn't have a consistent performance so it became a naturalresult if Napoli is able to take advantage of the good opportunities they got last season. But one thing that I am sure of is that Napoli is not a team that is always in contention for the title, so Napoli decline in performance thisseason remains a natural result.

AS Roma will only fight to qualify for the UEFA Champions League this season, they're just few points behind Bologna and they're taking it as a crucial plan to execute. AS Roma stats this season, 15W 6D 8L in 28 games this season. Daniele De Rossi have been available in the crucial areas and heading direct to progressing the team's performance bit by bit. He's new to the managerial system and what he needs is time to fit in, we know how exceptionally the coach will grow to managed the club.

Being three points behind Bologna is not a very difficult thing for AS Roma to shift this season, because as long as AS Roma can continue to recover with good wins in the upcoming matches. Because Roma only needs to wait for Bologna to lose or beat Bologna when they meet again in the remainder of this season in order to compete for positions in the UCL zone. I am also quite confident with Daniele De Rossi's performance at Roma even though he still has to adjust to the Roma team for the remainder of this season.
