Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[hd49728]

Apart from the draw against Lecce, at least Roma has made great progress after De Rossi became coach of this team because they have only lost once so far, but Roma did waste the opportunity to keep their chances of sticking with Bologna to reach a position in the top four.

You can say that De Rossi helped Roma to play more attacking and beautiful football but to say he helped Roma make great progress in top four race, it is not true.

Mourinho and Roma were 5 points less than top four before Mourinho was sacked and De Rossi came. Now, after a draw with Lecce, Roma are 5 points less than a fourth position again. It's the same gap like months ago with Mourinho.

Lecce played very well in this match, but they were not able to maximize every opportunity they had, because there were at least six shots on target that could not be converted into goals, likewise, Roma did not have more chances than Lecce even though De Rossi's squad had more controlled possession of the ball, but Lecce was better in attacking.

Roma did not finish their chances well in a match with Lecce and it costs them 2 points. They could get 3 points if they would have successfully converted one of some opportunities to a winning goal.

My prediction is that Roma will only compete in the European league next season because the remaining eight matches and half of them are tight matches for them, including facing Bologna, whose position they are currently targeting.

Bologna are making very big surprise and 5 points are not big but not small difference if we look at very stunning form of Bologna. Roma still have chances but I believe that Bologna are able to defend their current difference against Roma.

8 matchdays ago was the championship game against Inter Milan and they lost it 1:0. Since then they only won 1 game, I dont think they had such a bad run all season. 17 points away from first place and 6 points away from 2nd place. The championship has not been possible for many weeks, now it is only enough for a place in the champions league next year. Since february juventus has not been playing so well and that is now 2 months and I think there will be more weeks to come.

So indirectly it can be said that Juventus' performance has decreased since being defeated by Inter Milan last February and until now Juventus' performance has actually decreased and has lost a lot of points which has caused its ranking to drop to 3rd place. Indeed when the club experiences defeat it affects the players' mentality and self-confidence are decreasing, but that doesn't mean that Juventus will continue to experience a decline like this. They have to get back up like they were at the start of the season so that they can stay in the top 3 or improve their position back to second place if Juventus returns to consistent performance, but this also has to be done. accompanied by Milan's declining performance.

Even though being in 4th place has also brought Juventus to win Champions League tickets, at least Juventus is in the ranks of the elite clubs Inter Milan and Milan, and Juventus should be able to do this if they remember their history in the league. Don't let Juventus continue to go down just because they keep losing points, if Later being overtaken by Bologna is a bad thing for Juventus as a top club, this can be done by Bologna if they see that the difference in points between the two is very close, even if Juventus loses one more game, Bologna can overtake Juventus in 3rd place.

Despite the fact that Roma controlled the ball more, Lecce attacked more, and perhaps De Rossi was lucky that his team did not lose today. But in this case for Roma, a draw is a bad result, since they lost points, and Bologna managed to beat Salernitana, and now Roma is 5 points behind the top 4. For now, this seems possible to fix in the remaining 8 games, but I have doubts that for Roma this will be possible. By the way, Juventus lost to Lazio, and now it becomes quite possible for Bologna to bypass Juventus, which is currently in decline.

I really underestimate Lecce's performance against Roma before the game started, the match didn't end as i expected because Lecce attacked more than I thought, from the beginning to the end of the game. 13th placed Lecce put pressure on Roma. Lecce has only won two of their previous ten games, and Roma is in good form, so I thought they will win the match despite of the challenges they face. Lecce had 27 shots in this match, while Roma had 10, three were on target.

Did you think Roma has a chance to break into the top four before the end of the season? I don't think so, because Bologna and Juventus will maintain their current positions until the end of the season. Juventus lost their last match against Lazio, putting them 7 points ahead of Roma, while Bologna remains 5 points ahead of them. Roma's chances of finishing in the top four will be difficult because they only got one point against Lecce, and I think Roma will continue to play in the Europa League next season.

You can assess Lecce's performance in attacking like they attacked well or Roma did not have good defense in the match. As I watched the match highlight, Roma players played carelessly and they gave Lecce too many space for dangerous counter attacks.

If Lecce actually played good, they would have scored at least one goal and beat Roma at their home stadium. By ending the match with a draw, no scored goal, Lecce actually have problems in their attacking power.

I don't think so, because Bologna and Juventus will maintain their current positions until the end of the season.

Roma's chances of finishing in the top four will be difficult because they only got one point against Lecce, and I think Roma will continue to play in the Europa League next season.

Chance for Roma will depend on performances of Bologna as with 5 points less than Bologna, if the competitor maintain stable performances in last matches, Roma will not have good chance to catch and surpass Bologna.

Roma even can not only think of Bologna as with one delayed match, Atalanta can take over the fifth position of Roma too. Because with only 2 points less than Roma, Atalanta will surpass Roma if they win that match.

It seems that in this match there were also many people who lost their bets. Because I'm sure many are betting on Roma winning. because if Roma plays as well as before then I'm sure Roma can win. But a draw is still much better than losing points. And De Rossi must immediately evaluate their performance in this match. Because in the next match Roma have an opponent that will be very difficult for them to beat, namely Lazio. Lazio currently looks to be improving in Serie A after they were knocked out of the UCL. Even Juventus suffered defeat when facing Lazio. So Roma must be more alert and must be able to further improve their performance in the next match if they want to get full points.

[wakier]

There was no change in the score until 90 minutes of time passed which made them have to be willing to share 1 point in this match.
Honestly, although it is quite good but in my opinion this is a loss for Roma because after all for now they should be able to get 3 points in this week especially the opponent is still quite below them but instead in this match it was like Lecce who played without burden.

Lecce played well even though the possession of the ball was fully owned by Roma but in terms of opportunities they really did their best because they seemed to have a much better performance in this match compared to Roma.
Roma's chances are also not bad but when looking at the actual comparison for this match I think it is very much better Lecce than Roma which makes this result not too strange because indeed Roma really can't take advantage of their advantages even though they are favorites in this match.

You are right that a draw is a bad result for AS Roma because AS Roma is targeting the UCL zone in the top four. If they continue to lose points due to draws or losses, AS Roma could lose this opportunity because now AS Roma is already five points behind Bologna, which was initially only three. The points are now increasing, AS Roma cannot lose any more points if they want to immediately occupy the UCL zone. If they can't be consistent, maybe Roma can only go to the UEL.

Bologna has been amazing in Italy's Serie A this season, and they are serious contenders to finish in the top four of the Serie A League this season. I think Bologna will beat AS Roma to finish in fourth place in the league table because AS Roma has more difficult matches than Bologna this season. 

[Majestic-milf]

 There's no doubt about Inter winning the title this season and I can bet my money on this that there's no team that can overthrow them in the remaining eight games as it's impossible for the nerrazurri to lose the remaining. For the other contenders like Milan, Juventus and the rest, I'd say they focus more on qualifying for champions league next season because the point gap is too much.

Yesterday just showed how good Simeon Inaghi's men are and despite Empoli doing their best to get a point, they just couldn't match the standards of inter. To be honest, I thought they were going to lose the game since they had 11 points gap between them and Milan but to show that they aren't just good on paper, they thrashed the visitors 2-0.. One will call their performance a masterclass while others will feel they are just showing off but I think Inaghi is more invested in not taking chances and they may be on their way of setting a new record since Napoli finished last season with 90 points, with 16 points, Inter are opting for something higher.

Bologna has been amazing in Italy's Serie A this season, and they are serious contenders to finish in the top four of the Serie A League this season. I think Bologna will beat AS Roma to finish in fourth place in the league table because AS Roma has more difficult matches than Bologna this season. 

Hahaha it is clear that Bologna is currently in 4th position in the Serie A standings and AS Roma is in 5th position with difference between the two of them reaching 5 points, this is clearly putting enough pressure on AS Roma because they need Bologna to lose 2 times to be able to surpass them.
In the Serie A competition this season, there are only 8 matches remaining and it could be said that AS Roma have missed quite lot of opportunities, with only 8 matches remaining, I not sure that AS Roma will be able to show superiority by winning the top 4 positions.
Just look at AS Roma, in the remaining matches they still have to play against Bologna and Juventus, which is clearly not an easy match for AS Roma, plus there are Lazio and also Atalanta who might be able to give AS Roma surprise.

Bologna actually has different conditions because the toughest match is against Juventus, from all this I can estimate that in the battle for points during the remaining matches Bologna will have the advantage.
AS Roma will not be able to surpass Bologna until this season competition is finished.

I know that Bologna is in fourth place in the league table, and they are also leading AS Roma by five points. When I checked the 8 matches remaining for both Bologna and AS Roma, I found out that AS Roma has more tougher matches than Bologna in the league, which will be an advantage for Bologna to finally finish in the fourth place of the Serie A league this season.

Inter will be playing for a must-win tonight. The points difference with second-placed Milan is down to 11. Last week they drew with Napoli and lost points. They were also eliminated by Atletico Madrid in the Champions League. I'm sure they will focus more on the league now. On the other hand, Empoli are in the relegation zone. I don't think they have a chance against Inter in this match. The odds for an Inter victory are low. But I think Inter's win is a sure thing.

Inter started the match quickly and scored with Dimarco. It was already clear that the champion was superior to Empoli, they will try to widen the gap. Thuram and Martinez can also score goals. Empoli is also looking for a goal with M'Baye Niang. More goals will be scored in this match, both teams are attacking. Empoli now has nothing to lose. They have to get points to avoid relegation.

I guess no one expected Inter to lose points in this match. Empoli still had a not bad graphic. They played as they should against Inter, but the difference in quality players showed itself everywhere. Inter's defense did its job correctly and played flawlessly to gain 3 important points on the way to the championship.

Empoli is playing good football, but the gap between Inter Milan and Empoli is quite evident. Because of Empoli's good performance, Milan couldn't increase their goal's lead. Inter settled for just 2 goals, but they're still 14 points ahead. Inter has already secured the domestic championship trophy. They've truly made the league their own. It's just unfortunate that teams like Inter played flawlessly out of the Champions League this season.

my beloved Juventus is in crisis, lost with Lazio

[rendravolt]

Even though they didn't lose and still got 1 point from the draw, I think this is still a loss for Roma who should be able to steal 3 points from Lecce. Roma should be able to beat Lecce without any problems and it could be a close win if necessary. But it looks like Roma was not lucky enough because they were unable to score a single goal in this match.

They missed the opportunity to get closer to Bologna who have been consistent so far and I think Roma should not give up to ensure a place in the champions league at the end of the season. Now the difference is 5 points from Bologna and at least they have enough hope for Bologna to get bad results in the next match if they want to shift them from 4th position. But of course Roma also have to win again in the remaining matches and if they fail again like this then they will returning to the European league next season.

my beloved Juventus is in crisis, lost with Lazio

Your table is outdated. It didn't have the updates of these recently played matches.



It is a pity that Juventus lost and Roma played draw apart from these two teams, the other teams on top five won their matches. Inter just need 4 more wins to seal up their victory as winners of this year Scudetto.

Roma's rejuvenation under De Rossi shouldn't be seen as the club's superiority most the clubs in Seria A. Considering the statistics of the match,  Lecce had better shots on target which means they the host had better chance of winning the game. As much as sports is concerned, no team should be underrated, therefore insinuating that Roma should have gotten a smooth win is not ideal.

Bologna have now increased the gap between them and Roma with five points after the got a hard fought always win over Empoli after G. Fabbian put the club ahead in the extra time of the match. Bologna would try to increase the game when thet meet Frosinone in Stadio Benito Stirpe while Roma will keep fighting to make it to the champions league when they host Lazio. Winning Lazio will be a difficult task but a good result will be a motivation for "The Yellow and Reds"to keep fighting till the end of the season.

We understand that towards the end of the season all teams will try to be better than usual, taking advantage of all the advantages on their side to secure points, including making good use of home games like Lecce did to stop Roma who are in a good trend. Roma didn't play badly, De Rossi and his squad tried their best, they worked like before but this time they were unlucky. Not many opportunities were created, I consider Roma still lucky because they didn't lose points completely.

Meanwhile, the consequences of the draw against Lecce left Roma 5 points adrift of Bologna, De Rossi efforts to bring his squad up to the top four were once again hampered. It is clear that the only hope of achieving a ticket to the Champions League is consistency, and waiting for Bologna to experience defeat in the remaining matches in the future. Regardless of whether Roma is lucky to get a slot in the Champions League because of the new format, they must try to finish in a comfortable position in the top four without relying on that luck.

[dzungmobile]

Bologna have now increased the gap between them and Roma with five points after the got a hard fought always win over Empoli after G. Fabbian put the club ahead in the extra time of the match.

Bologna made criticisms to be silent as after winning minimally in some matches and generally in this season, their success comes from their strong defense, they got a big win.

It is strong voice from Bologna that they are ready to win and get three points in different ways and they aim at maximum points for each match. This makes Bologna is very dangerous for Roma in this race but with a latest draw, Roma are no longer safe at their fifth position. They have to try to catch Bologna while have to defend the current position against Atalanta.

Meanwhile, the consequences of the draw against Lecce left Roma 5 points adrift of Bologna, De Rossi efforts to bring his squad up to the top four were once again hampered.

Bologna after all good performances in this season so far, they really deserve to be eligible for Champions League next season. Nevertheless, in general, it will be better for Serie A if Roma will be their representative in Champions League, not Bologna. I am very doubtful on ability of Bologna to play well in Champions League if they can be there.

[bastisisca]

I thought Inter would score more goals or Empoli would respond, but the match ended 2-0. Those who played over 2.5 goals lost, my bet was also lost because of that one missing goal. When Alexis Sanchez entered the game, the game became livelier and he scored the goal, but I wish he had entered the game earlier. Losing a parlay with single goal is always annoying. There were only 2 goals in 33 shots in total in the game.

I don`t think Empoli had the strength to respond to goals

regarding the goals not scored, I think that their coach Inzaghi gave orders to measure the strength and not to exaggerate
they have to hold tight with Milan at -11
even if everything is almost certain, you never know, it`s better not to risk it

[piebeyb]

Even though being in 4th place has also brought Juventus to win Champions League tickets, at least Juventus is in the ranks of the elite clubs Inter Milan and Milan, and Juventus should be able to do this if they remember their history in the league. Don't let Juventus continue to go down just because they keep losing points, if Later being overtaken by Bologna is a bad thing for Juventus as a top club, this can be done by Bologna if they see that the difference in points between the two is very close, even if Juventus loses one more game, Bologna can overtake Juventus in 3rd place.

Bologna is only two points different from Juventus, of course this will be a warning that Juventus must be able to recover, Allegri seems to have to be replaced immediately because he is unable to make Juventus more confident, now he often experiences failure and defeat, which will never be good. In the end, it is certain that Juventus will not will qualify for a UCL ticket next season and finish in the top four if they get bad results in the next few matches, that must be corrected immediately.

Against Lazio today in the Coppa Italia after experiencing defeat against Lazio yesterday, today could be Juventus' revenge for beating Lazio in the first leg of the Coppa Italia semi-final today, of course there is no hope for Juventus to win any title this season except the Coppa Italia title , they still have a chance to win this title and of course Allegri must be able to show his quality as a coach. If he continues to fail, of course he will not be worthy of being retained as Juventus coach because it will not bring any changes to Juventus, there will not even be a title this season if they lose at Coppa Italia semi-final first leg match against Lazio today.

Juventus are experiencing a very bad results lately. We are talking about only two points from 12 and things doesn't seem to improve. Losing the second spot was already a warning, yet they continued to miss points. Now they are third and if they won't win against Lecce next round and Bologna win, then they will be fourth.
Luckily they were successful before while Roma were losing with Mourinho, otherwise they wouldn't be in that spot already.
Allegri knows well that his fate is at the stake with such disappointing results and I expect a new coach for Juventus by next season.
