Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Google+]

Napoli who happens to be the current reigning champions of Italy have failed to live up to the expectations of many especially their club fans this after winning the Italian Serie A title last season with a good number of points difference ahead of the second team.  After run of poor results that made the club management to sack two of two managers that were managing the team this season, the club seem to be back on track with the current manager but I think it's already too late for them to finish the season in the top four of the league table.
They face Atalanta this weekend and considering the performance of both teams in recent games, I think it'll be a difficult game for either side but I expect Napoli to either win the game or at least get a draw.

As a team that is the defending champion, Napoli should be able to provide a significant resistance in defending the Scudetto, but we don't find this at all in Napoli at this time, although it still has a chance to enter the Europa League zone next season, but to be honest if this season is Napoli's worst season from the past few seasons,  I think against Atlanta is not an easy job for Napoli, but in terms of quality of players and head to head so far it is clear that Napoli are superior to Atlanta.

I think Napoli's destruction is none other than because they lost Luciano Spalletti as a fairly reliable coach in last season, Moreover at this time in my opinion Napoli's declining performance is none other than due to the confusion of strategy due to them changing coaches too often, I think for now is indeed too late for Napoli to reach the Champions League zone but for the Europa League and Conbenrence League zones of course it is still open for them if it remains Consistently, against Atlanta of course it was difficult as I said before, but after they managed to draw against a tough team like intermilan of course the Napoli squad has high motivation to win and I think 2-0 for Napoli victory will be the final result of the game.

Last season, Inter were probably one of the most unlikely clubs in the UCL as they managed to reach the final round, but lost out to Manchester City and understandably so. So the expectations of Inter this season are much higher so that they can return to the next round. However, their move was to stop in the 16th round. Yes, learn, now you have to pay more attention to their series.They have no opponents in Serie A. Because the distance between the point and the row club is too long. So Inter is very sure to win the Serie A Cup again. They will replace Napoli as the trophy holders last season.

Sometimes, having very high expectations is not good for us caused by it will also make us delutional and hard to accept the fact.  Interimlan has bottled UCL title this season after it was losing against atletioco madrid. This season is also a bad season for Intermilan. It's because the club underestimated Atletico Madrid, and I remember when Intermilan was favored to advance to the final because it had also achieved significant success last season with almost the same squad.

People predicted that this Italian candidate would advance to the final, but they were all mistaken. Intermilan's poor performance against Atletico Madrid exacerbated the club's problems. Having said that, if Simeone has done his best but that's not enough in helping intermilan to get into the at very least semifinal, he is now leaving the competition even earlier.
INtermilan must have learned a lot from their match against Atletico Madrid by not attempting to win the serie A as well. Many fans are hoping that Inter will win the Scudetto this season. It's time for Intermilan to make a comeback and win a consolidation price for all of inter fans.

It leads with a large gap to second place, and it is now performing even better. Intermilan must ensure that it prepares better for the UCL in the coming season. It is becoming more difficult for Inter Milan to win the Scudetto.
I'm confident Intermilan can do it. Intermilan only needs to win six more matches to secure the scudetto this season. There will be no tolerance if Intermilan bottles the trophy despite leading by large margins.

Napoli will be blamed by a lot of its fans if it will not able to win against atalanta soon. Napoli's target to enter UCL, that can be reached only when napoli farms full points from any matches.

It is just too difficult for Napoli to qualify for the Champions League group stage from now on. Maybe there are still 9 more weeks. However the problem is that the point gap with the fourth position has gone up to nine points. Besides there are 3 teams ahead of them fighting for the same goal. Napoli really need to get quite lucky at the same time. 

This is all because of starting the season really badly. It took them a really long time to start getting better results. But they still continue to lose points even though they haven't lost a game for many weeks. If they won their last two games instead of draws then their chance for the Champions League would be more realistic.

[Tmoonz]

My tips so far

Intermilan... Empoli home to win

Lecce ... As roma away to win

Bologna...salernitana home to win or draw

Cagliari ...Hellas Verona home to win or draw

Torino....Monza both teams to score

Genoa... Frosinone he to win or draw

Napoli.... Atlanta both teams to score.

[xzone]

very true, in practice they will be fighting until the last day to save themselves
apart from Salernitana, now safe in Serie B, even the others can manage to save themselves if they want, so it will be a close fight for all the last teams in my opinion
of course always is this

This is different from the peak of the temporary class. Inter already look comfortable with a gap of 14 points.  Even Napoli who were very superior last season were missing from the top 3 for this season. There are still 9 games, ranked 13-19 still have a chance to kill each other to stay safe playing in Serie A next season.  But for Selernitana it seems to take a miracle with the victory of all the remaining matches and that seems impossible.

It is almost impossible for a team that has earned 14 points in 29 matches to gain that many more points in just a few matches. I think they also accepted that they will play in Serie B next year. Unless there's a miracle, I don't think they'll have much of a chance
The scores of the other teams are still very close to each other, the fight will continue until the last week. The team that wins 2-3 matches gets rid of the relegation zone and continues to take part in Serie A next year

Napoli vs Atalanta

Napoli StartXI: 4-3-3
Alex Meret; Giovanni Di Lorenzo; Amir Rrahmani; Juan Jesus; Mário Rui; Frank Anguissa; Stanislav Lobotka; Hamed Junior Traorè; Matteo Politano; Victor Osimhen; Giacomo Raspadori

Atalanta StartXI: 3-4-1-2
Marco Carnesecchi; Giorgio Scalvini; Isak Hien; Sead Kolašinac; Hans Hateboer; Marten de Roon; Éderson; Davide Zappacosta; Mario Pašalić; Aleksei Miranchuk; Gianluca Scamacca

Napoli are hosting Atalanta this time around and they have the record of winning them in their last four meetings both home and away, for today's match i think that long unbeaten will continue because Atalanta are not in their best form now due to result of their last five matches they only won one match, draw two and lost two while Napoli are trying to rebuild their strength, so the clear thing here is that Napoli have the chances of winning this match.

Napoli are under Atalanta with 2 points less but Atalanta have one postponed match so the difference can become 5 points if Atalanta win that match later. This direct match is a chance for Napoli to beat Atalanta and make sure that their difference with Atalanta will be only 2 points less with same played matches.

They will be the host and it is good support from their home stadium and fans, to give them more motivational power to beat Atalanta. It will not be easy for Napoli as Atalanta have better stats than Napoli, they have similar conceded goals but Atalanta scored about 10 goals more than Napoli.

Atalanta have good counter attacking ability and they will apply counter attacking tactics in Naples. Napoli need to win this match but they must avoid starting it too aggressively attacking and forget defensive tasks.

There are still 9 games, ranked 13-19 still have a chance to kill each other to stay safe playing in Serie A next season.  But for Selernitana it seems to take a miracle with the victory of all the remaining matches and that seems impossible.

Of course with the points Inter Milan has they can now relaxed because there is no way other clubs can beat them on this league table, like you mentioned I'm also surprise to see how Napoli that has that kind of good performance last season will be this poor in performance that they were unable to at least secure the second or the third position of this league, however this there match against Atlanta seem to be very tough on Napoli because Atlanta is really showing some kind of good level of performance and they have been dominating Napoli since the beginning of the matche till now and there ball possession is very high because Atlanta has 65% while Napoli has 35% ball possession, so perhaps if it continues this way Napoli may likely lose the match.

Also in terms of Selernitana situation on this season even grace cannot bring them out of the relegation zone because they have the worst performance on this league season and there points is too small that even if they win there matches they will not still be able to come out, so perhaps they seriously need to work on the team so that there next season will not be this way.

The conditions experienced by Salernitana can no longer be saved, they must be willing to drop from a caste next season because they are in 20th place with 14 points, nine points behind Sassuolo who are in 19th position and 11 points adrift of Empoli in the safe zone. 17th place. Apart from that, Salernitana will still face tough teams in the remaining matches until the end of the season and of course it will be difficult to get points.

Salernitana have changed coaches several times this season but there has been no improvement at all, they have instead slumped to the bottom of the standings and the situation is even more sad after losing the last two matches which makes it increasingly difficult for them to get out of the relegation zone.

[Z-tight]

So Inter is very sure to win the Serie A Cup again. They will replace Napoli as the trophy holders last season.

Yeah they will, i know Inter Milan would be very disappointed to have been eliminated by Atletico Madrid in the champions league round of 16, but the Seria A title is in their hands and it will make up for the disappointment they experienced in the champions league. Inter are on top of the Seria A with a 14 point advantage, they have been excellent and when they win it this season, it will be their second league title in the last 4 seasons, which is great.

Napoli defense got confused inside their box giving Atalanta the opportunity to play with the ball and  Miranchuk was able to put the ball at the back of the net on the 26th minutes to take the lead. Atalanta is playing impressively ever since the game started and this s b ows that they are aiming for all three points. Napoli needs to calm down the pressure mounting on them by Atalanta to make sure that they balance the game and equalize the goal.

Napoli 0-1 Atalanta.

Selernitana can no longer force themselves in Serie A, whether they like it or not being eliminated has to be accepted. Even though there are several matches left, there is no guarantee that we can get 3 points in a row. So the 3 bottom teams need to fight harder if they still want to be in Serie A, I'm not completely sure about betting on every match they will play.

Then for the top teams, especially the big 4, where Bologna can definitely still lock in UCL tickets next season, Roma is a little slipping and having trouble. Napoli is clearly certain to be absent from the UCL next season. I am already disappointed with this club, which since the change of coach, setbacks have continued to occur, not only in terms of squad depth, but in terms of management, the Napoli club has experienced a drastic decline.

Napoli 0-1 Atalanta.

0-2 after the first half and Napoli's chances turn into a pumpkin again 
Atalanta are really aiming for the full 3 points (in this case, their chances of getting into the Champions League will increase sharply) and I don’t know why the live quotes are so generous now: you can bet on Atalanta’s victory with odds of 1.18. Does anyone believe that Napoli will win back 2 goals?
In previous games, they were sometimes unlucky and missed out on victory, but today it is unlikely that luck will pay their debts to them.

[Majestic-milf]

 Napoli confidently losing at home to Atalanta. Had it been a goal down, given their current form, one might hope that they may get a goal to probably end the game in a draw but no, they are down by two goals and all as a result of poor defending from the Napoli players. The goals by Miranchuk and Scamaca were not the best of goals, but that doesn't matter as long as they get their three points. I strongly doubt Napoli will be able to come back from this as Atalanta are the ones calling the shots, making the moves, silencing Osimhen to be point that the Nigerian is just running around the field, little chances that come his way, he bottles it.
 At the moment, if the game ends like this, it will set Atalanta at 6th place with 50 points while Napoli will remain at 7th with 45. Funny thing is even if they manage to turn the game around, they will still be at 7th, only difference is the points gap will reduce. The multi million dollar question now is can Napoli turn the scoreline around for their favor?

Inter are on top of the Seria A with a 14 point advantage, they have been excellent and when they win it this season, it will be their second league title in the last 4 seasons, which is great.

Inter Milan has been consistent in Italy's Serie A this season, and they are leading by 14 points in the league table. No club is consistent enough to rival Inter Milan this season in the Serie A league. Inter Milan will win the league title before Serie A matches end this season because no club can rival them this season.

[Dickiy]

how bad Napoli defense is now they are 2 goals behind Atalanta and that deserved. Overall it was quite boring to see Napoli having to experience a performance like this during the first half and in the second half there was no potential to turn things around. If Atalanta manages to get 3 points, it means temporarily shifting Roma from position 5. Osimhen movements are very limited and he cannot make any changes. It's a shame that players are so expensive but in this match it really doesn't feel like they deserve a price of more than 100 million. Look at how difficult he is to score goals, Atalanta defense is very solid and doesn't leave any gaps open.

Napoli this season they tend to lose a lot of points when they play at home. As far as I remember, Napoli has suffered many defeats at home and in today's match where Napoli is also playing at home, but the temporary score is where Atalanta leading 0-2. There is still time left but I doubt Napoli can turn things around in this match. If you look at the line-up, of course Napoli played with their core squad but they were not very strong in today's match.

These two teams, between Atalanta and Napoli, are quite close in the standings, but in today's match Napoli looked quite weak even though they were playing in front of their supporters. So, if Napoli fail again today, I think they will lose hope of reaching the top 4.

I don't think Napoli will concede easily like that in the first half where they are 2 goals behind the visitors. I thought beforehand that maybe this match would be tight considering that actually these two teams didn't have any significant differences. However, what happened in the first half broke what I predicted before this match took place.
Entering the last 2 minutes of normal time in the second half, they were still 2 goals behind, they had great difficulty penetrating the defense built by Atalanta. Atalanta had prepared all this, they were prepared with a tough defense to maintain the lead they got in the second half. If they continue to play like this, then in my opinion they will not be able to score goals in this match and they will have to feel disappointed because they lost to Atalanta in their home match. They didn't have much time to equalize in the second half and it looked like they would really lose this match.

[rendravolt]

Napoli fell horribly at home after being heavily beaten by Atalanta with a score of 0-3 and honestly I didn't think something like this would happen. The reason is that Napoli are quite good and even if they lost it wouldn't be embarrassing like this, but it seems that Atalanta didn't show any mercy and they broke into Napoli's goal so easily. One thing I realized from this match was how Napoli's defense was so weak that Atalanta easily knocked them out in front of the fans' support.

This result made Napoli fail to shorten the points gap from Atalanta and meanwhile for Atalanta they succeeded in stealing points and widening the points gap from Napoli. Now Atalanta is getting closer to Roma, who are only separated by 1 point, but at least Atalanta has the advantage of playing fewer matches considering that Roma will have their 30th match on April 1 against Lecce.

No club is consistent enough to rival Inter Milan this season in the Serie A league. Inter Milan will win the league title before Serie A matches end this season because no club can rival them this season.

It has been 2 seasons since Inter Milan failed to win Serie A since becoming the final champion in the 2020/21 season and last season they were too focused on the UCL so they only finished in Serie A in the top 3, this is the reason why this season they are quite enthusiastic in fighting for it Serie A title.
Moreover, last season failure was not only in Serie A but also UCL which was only able to become runners-up, they may have burning desire to avenge this failure and now for Serie A it is clear that Inter Milan is guaranteed to have it.
They are very comfortable this season for the future until the competition is over because the gap is so big it will be impossible for anyone to catch up and surpass it, but what is shame is that they had to be eliminated from the UCL because of the defeat to Atletico Madrid.

Inter Milan umpteenth failure in the UCL, they can only repeat it again next season and of course it will be even more difficult because there are other team with very strong performances that can be an obstacle for Inter Milan, such as Leverkusen and Liverpool.
If it fails again then it can be said that Inter Milan in the near future will not have the mentality to become champions of the UCL, the most prestigious competition in European football.
