Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[DanWalker]

I'm sure Bologna will definitely maintain their position to qualify for the Champions League as the new representative in Serie A even Bologna's points are almost close to Juventus if Juventus lose then it will be shifted by Bologna so this team will be a little more comfortable with maintaining until the end of the season.

The new experience for Bologna is certainly worth it even though there is no target but the appearance in the Champions League will make the players have great motivation, there is no greater hope if it goes through but when Bologna qualifies for the next phase then it is a big record for him.

Fierce competition will occur and I think Bologna is still not safe because Juventus and Roma cannot be underestimated either, these two top teams have a good mentality which is quite necessary when times are critical.
Currently there are still 8 matches remaining and Bologna is forced to be consistent until the end of the season. In terms of quality, Bologna this season is quite good so they are still at the top of the standings, but at crucial times the team is full of pressure and all teams are able to get out of the pressure that, so I think Bologna still has to fight until the end and anything is still possible.

Bologna winning against Salernitana has put Juventus in a pretty bad situation right now. Because now they only have two point advantage over Bologna. And I have a feeling that it is not going to be enough. Bologna is showing a far better performance in recent times compared to Juventus. And I really believe that if Juventus does not improve their performance very quickly, they are going to have a big problem. At a time we thought Juventus is going to give a good competition for the title. But now it seems like they will have a hard time staying in the top four positions. Because remember Roma is also improving quickly.

[hahay]

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.

Bologna has been very surprising this season, no one thought before that they could be in the top 4. If they can maintain this position, Bologna will have the opportunity to play in the UCL next season and this will provide a new experience for the Bologna players. Of course they won't set any targets. Participating in the UCL has been a valuable experience for the Bologna players.

Yes, Bologna is a surprising team this season because Bologna are in the top four. Although in reality, in previous seasons, Bologna was only the team that finished in the middle of the standings more often. Therefore, of course no one thought Bologna would be able to compete strongly in the topfour, but Bologna really did it this season and that's great. However, even if, for example, Bologna fails to maintain its position in the top four and for example is overtaken by AS Roma, then finishing in fifth position is still a good result for Bologna. Because afterall, as a team that usually only finishes in the middle of the standings but suddenly finishes in the top five, of course that will still be a great achievement for Bologna this season.

semi-final first leg between Juventus and Lazio is now being played and after a disappointing first half Juventus managed to take the lead through Chiesa.

The top management for Juventus is present at the stadium to witness what could be the last game with Mister Allegri.
For now things seem to be going well.

[red4slash]

I expect Inter Milan to score lots of goals in this match. But it looks like the match will end with the same score since the start of the match, namely 1-0. Because now the match has entered the 80th minute and the score has not changed, namely 1-0. Inter Milan as the host can usually score a lot of goals if they face a team that is mediocre in terms of performance. And it seems like Inter Milan still hasn't recovered mentally after they were knocked out of the UCL.

Edited: it turns out that when I wrote, Inter Milan added 1 goal in the 81st minute by Alexis Sanchez. Ok, this still meets my expectations.  the score is now 2-0

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.

It looks like Inter are more careful in this match because seeing from 90 minutes of the match actually Empoli is quite able to keep up with the game that Inter did in this match even though in terms of possession and Inter's chances are much better but Empoli also gave a good reaction even though it was not enough to make them get points.

The 2 goals were very good although not too good for those on the handicap but on the other hand it seems like it was enough to keep them comfortably at the top.
Now there are only a few more wins that they need to do to seal the Scudetto this season and I don't think it's a difficult job even though Milan are also powerful at the moment but the big point difference is very difficult to catch up at the moment.

The top management for Juventus is present at the stadium to witness what could be the last game with Mister Allegri.
For now things seem to be going well.

After a bad first half for football, the second half started very well and Juventus scored goals in the 50th and 64th minutes and took the lead 2-0. They now have a big advantage in the first match of the semi-finals. If Lazio wants to have hope for the second match, they must score 1 goal. The atmosphere of the final matches tomorrow may be different and Lazio has not been able to do what it wants in this match so far.

Juventus wants to maintain its scoring advantage before going to the second match. It is now minute 72 and Juventus has achieved the score it wanted.

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

No Empoli don't have the strength of scoring back. Empoli have never scored any goal in their last four consecutive matches. Perhaps, I was also thinking that Inter will be able to score more goals, but after the early goal scored by DiMarco, it became somehow hard for them to score again.

Not until Sanchez came from the bench and score a very easy goal to an open net with a beautiful assist from Dumfries. The important thing is that they were able to secure all three points from Empoli.

By the way, Juventus lost to Lazio, and now it becomes quite possible for Bologna to bypass Juventus, which is currently in decline.

But I really have a feeling that this might be a draw between Juventus and Lazio.

I remember calling this result about juventus. I said that juventus is not in a good form and there is a very good chance that lazio will actually win this match or drawn. And thats exactly what happened.

In this match juventus actually didnt play well at all in my opinion. They did have some chances but the Lazio goalkeeper has to be given credit. He made some very important saves. If it was not for him, i think it could be very different outcome. And credit goes to Lazio for actually believing in themselves and also be able to win the match at the end. I thought juventus could have marked Marusic better at that moment. This is the 4th match on a row for juventus without a win. Things doesnt look good for them at this moment and i think if they do not improve, it is going to be a problem for them to stay in the top 4 positions even though at this moment it looks like they are safe.

By the way, todays Coppa Italia semi final match ended just now
Result: Juventus 2 - 0 Lazio, perfectly took the revenge

In their match against Lazio in the Seria A title, they were not in good shape to take a point even though they fight till the end, but playing away from home while you are not in good form is always hard, and Lazio is trying to maintain their points gap ahead of Napoli.

On this game, I can also see how poor Juventus was, Lazio dominated the match completely, but Juventus were at home and they utilized their chances very well which was why they are lucky to win the match.
Although it will not be easy to lose this title even as they lose the Seria A title due to lack of form, I am expecting them to perform well in other competitions so as to gain more confidence ahead of next season

[coinlocket$]

Juventus managed to beat Lazio 2-0.

the second half was dominated, they even risked scoring the third goal.
Allegri has saved his place for now but the league standing considering the missing games is still at high risk.

It's inexplicable how they took away the penalty awarded to Juventus in the first half, but we already know VAR is a joke.

[lalabotax]

However, their steps had to stop in the 16th round. Yes, take the lesson, that now they have to focus more on Serie A. In Serie A, they actually have no opponents. Because the distance between the points and the clubs in the lower ranks is quite far. So, Inter has great certainty to win the Serie A cup this time. They will take over Napoli's position as trophy holders last season.

Yes, this season Inter Milan's hopes of reaching the Champions League final were dashed because they lost on penalties against Atletico Madrid in the round of 16. Maybe if Inter Milan can win against Atletico Madrid in that match, and successfully qualify for the last 8. Maybe now Inter Milan can have superiority and calm compared to other teams that have qualified for the top 8 of the UCL. Because as we know, Inter Milan currently has a huge points advantage in Serie A. So with this, Inter Milan can definitely be more focused, if they qualify for the top 8 of the Champions League.

Yes, it was a suffocating defeat, Inter had several challenges that they really missed. And in the end, he failed in the penalty shootouts. And it makes for a great lesson for them. And at least, they have 1 title which is definitely the most prestigious in the Italian league, because they will definitely take the Schudetto this season. It's just a matter of time, the points are so far away from the other clubs, and there are only a few more matches left this season. So, it is certain that Inter will take over the Serie A trophy from Napoli, the champion last season.

It's inexplicable how they took away the penalty awarded to Juventus in the first half, but we already know VAR is a joke.

This match was more of a revenge match for Juventus against Lazio because lately they have been having difficulties wining Lazio do to the fact that Lazio has studied and understand the pattern of Juventus plus there home advantage and from there things became easy for them, so they were able to use it against Juventus on there last match which ended 1-0 against Juventus and it was sad for Juventus because they no that they have more good performance than Lazio but luck was not on there side on that match.

So on this match Juventus did not give them any opportunity for them to perform and also there home advantage also work for them as they were able to beat Lazio 2-0. However in terms of this Italian league Lazio has tried a bit but there performance is not good enough to qualify for the champions League next season because they have no performance compares to the clubs on the race so probably they will just end the season with the current position they are.

[bering]

This is the match of semifinal Coppa Italy and within days finally Juventus can able to get revenge from Lazio that playing at home Juventus with comfortable can win with final scores 2-0 and both teams considers this match is really important so they were playing with all of their key players and first half was ended with no scores because whether it Juventus or Lazio were playing with carefully but in the second half Juventus can slightly taking over the game which makes they can scores from Chiesa and Vlahovic

Juventus seems very serious to facing this match because this is the only chances for them to gets the trophy this season and with this result i am confident they can advances to the final match although second leg will be held at Lazio home ground later and taking about Coppa Italy last time Juventus was able to gets the trophy from this competition is on season 2020/2021 at that time they successfully can beat Atalanta in the final match and now this is also good chances for Allegri to bringing Juventus to gets their first trophy under him and we all know Allegri position as a manager was threaten this because he was failed to bringing Juventus to compete with Inter Milan for the scudetto but if Allegri can gets Coppa Italy trophy maybe he can avoiding to be sacked

[comboday]

Juventus managed to beat Lazio 2-0.
The second half was dominated, even as they took the risk to finish third.
Agri has saved his place for now but missing games is still a high risk.
Explains how they took away the penalty awarded to Juventus in the first half, but we still think VAR is a joke.

No Empoli don't have the strength of scoring back. Empoli have never scored any goal in their last four consecutive matches. Perhaps, I was also thinking that Inter will be able to score more goals, but after the early goal scored by DiMarco, it became somehow hard for them to score again.

Truly..
But, In fact, basically Empoli wasn't that bad this time. It seems that Empoli has done quite well as a small club against the top of the standings.
Yes, Empoli can basically provide quite good resistance, they also try to provide attacks, and are quite accurate in fact. However, Inter's defense is indeed much stronger than Empoli's. Let's look at the statistics below.

Source: Inter vs Empoli statistic

From this data, it's pretty good, right? But nevertheless, Inter was much stronger in defense, and their continuous attacks on Empoli eventually became unavoidable. Dimarco, who scored Inter's first goal in the 5th minute, was also the best player in this match. His contribution was very impressive, this was the opening goal for the match which of course was also enough to strengthen Inter to be even stronger.

[TopT3ns]

No Empoli don't have the strength of scoring back. Empoli have never scored any goal in their last four consecutive matches. Perhaps, I was also thinking that Inter will be able to score more goals, but after the early goal scored by DiMarco, it became somehow hard for them to score again.

Not until Sanchez came from the bench and score a very easy goal to an open net with a beautiful assist from Dumfries. The important thing is that they were able to secure all three points from Empoli.

Yes, you are right, Empoli has never won in its last four matches, but I think Empoli will still try to get a goal or a win, because it seems impossible that Empoli will allow themselves to lose five matches in a row. Empoli must continue to rise because the opponent they will face in the next match is Torino, so Empoli must try hard.

It's inexplicable how they took away the penalty awarded to Juventus in the first half, but we already know VAR is a joke.

Juventus has a different performance from Juventus in previous matches in Serie A. In the Coppa Italia we can see Juventus playing very comfortably and always almost scoring a goal against Lazio. I think winning the first leg with a score of 2-0 is good enough. Because in the second leg Juventus could play more calmly and only had to add to their advantage or maintain their advantage. Lazio won in Serie A but Juventus responded in the Coppa Italia. Now Juventus has the opportunity to lift the trophy in the Coppa Italia if they can finally qualify for the Final and beat their opponents there. But Juventus also still has to maintain their position in Serie A. Don't let the UCL tickets disappear from their hands.

[klidex]

Yes, it was a suffocating defeat, Inter had several challenges that they really missed. And in the end, he failed in the penalty shootouts. And it makes for a great lesson for them And at least, they have 1 title which is definitely the most prestigious in the Italian league, because they will definitely take the Schudetto this season. It's just a matter of time, the points are so far away from the other clubs, and there are only a few more matches left this season. So, it is certain that Inter will take over the Serie A trophy from Napoli, the champion last season.

Although this was very disappointing for Inter Milan because they were not able to progress further because they had prepared this season to be better than the previous season. Last season, Inter Milan failed to win the Champions League trophy. Even though there was only a little more left for them to win it, but the opponents that Inter Milan faced were quite tough in the final, so Inter Milan was only able to become second place, but if you compare it to last season, they were only able to win the Italian Cup and the Cup. Super Italia, in my opinion, this season Inter Milan is much better because they will get the main trophy in the domestic league, so even though they lost in the Champions League, at least Inter Milan still won the prestigious trophy this season.

So Inter Milan should not dwell on sadness and lament their fate in the Champions League because after all they have fought as hard as possible, this could be a lesson for Inter Milan next season to better prepare their performance and be able to advance even further in the Champions League. This season not a lucky season for Inter Milan in the Champions League but for next season no one knows what the fate of Inter Milan will be like, who knows, he will get the Champions League title after not getting it for a long time

Allegri has saved his place for now but the league standing considering the missing games is still at high risk.

It's inexplicable how they took away the penalty awarded to Juventus in the first half, but we already know VAR is a joke.

In this match, actually, if you look at ball control, Lazio is clearly superior to Juventus. However, this opportunity could not be exploited properly by the Lazio players, so the Lazio players just played with the ball. Then when Juventus controlled the ball, Lazio's players were always unable to block attacks more effectively. Maybe if only Lazio could play more calmly when in the Juventus defense area, I'm sure Lazio could score 1 or 2 goals too. However, because the Lazio players were not calm when attacking the Juventus defense area, as a result there were no dangerous kicks that the Lazio players could shoot. Apart from that, in this match the Lazio players tended to look rushed and made many wrong decisions when in Juventus' defense. Apart from that, Lazio's defense line also looks less dense in defense. So several times Juventus had the opportunity to add to their goals. Maybe that was the biggest mistake Lazio made when they lost that match.

In contrast to Juventus, who managed to get out of the deadlock that plagued them throughout the first half. In the second half, Juventus managed to take advantage of the opportunities they had to score a goal. So with these results Juventus are now 2 goals ahead of Lazio temporarily in the Coppa Italia semifinals (2-0 aggregate). However, Juventus cannot be satisfied with the results achieved so far. The reason is, it is possible that Lazio can correct their mistakes in the second leg and turn things around. Because from what I saw, Lazio's performance in that match looked less than optimal. So Juventus must be more careful, because I am sure Lazio's performance will be good again in the second leg.

And about the referee's decision regarding VAR. I think the referee's decision is questionable.

I thought juventus could have marked Marusic better at that moment. This is the 4th match on a row for juventus without a win. Things doesnt look good for them at this moment and i think if they do not improve, it is going to be a problem for them to stay in the top 4 positions even though at this moment it looks like they are safe.

By the way, todays Coppa Italia semi final match ended just now
Result: Juventus 2 - 0 Lazio, perfectly took the revenge  

Normally, Juventus are not still in form, and as you said, Lazio deserves the credit in the match while Juventus win the match, which to me is still not bad because there is a second leg coming up on the 23rd of this month, so we will anticipate the revenge of Lazio on Juventus in the semifinals and also see who among them will go to the final. Whether Juventus or Lazio, Juventus should  believe it or not, their performance is getting weaker and out of hand, so they have to act fast before it will be a regret.
 
Because I see no point in saying that you cannot do anything tangible in the field because, looking back at their last few games in the whole of last month, they have not won, so I don't even think they deserve to be happy with this win because if care is not talking, they might still not make it to the final.

Result: Juventus 2 - 0 Lazio, perfectly took the revenge  

In their match against Lazio in the Seria A title, they were not in good shape to take a point even though they fight till the end, but playing away from home while you are not in good form is always hard, and Lazio is trying to maintain their points gap ahead of Napoli.

On this game, I can also see how poor Juventus was, Lazio dominated the match completely, but Juventus were at home and they utilized their chances very well which was why they are lucky to win the match.
Although it will not be easy to lose this title even as they lose the Seria A title due to lack of form, I am expecting them to perform well in other competitions so as to gain more confidence ahead of next season

Thus, Juventus got the revenge of their 1-0 defeat in the league, but they will also go away to Lazio. That away game has always been difficult. A 2-0 advantageous score can take Juventus to the next round, but Lazio needs a win with at least 3 goals difference. Tough times for Lazio in the cup. They are about to lose the semi-finals. Juventus will see the final
