Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

Salernitana vs Sassuolo

Both teams is relegation candidate but Sassuolo position a bit better compared to Salernitana because currently they occupy 19th place and Sassuolo also has 10 points above to Salernitana so their chances to avoiding relegation zone is more better than Salernitana but indeed it won't be easy because Serie A still have 8 matches remaining so Sassuolo should be able to bounce back and do not slipped again and for Salernitana obviously with 14 points from 30 matches their journey in Serie A is over and there is no chances for them to survive in Serie A but if they can able to win today at least they can able to improved their final position on league table

Sassuolo performance far better compared to Salernitana this because they can collect 6 wins from 30 matches and few weeks ago Sassuolo can get the winning result from Frosinone and for today match Salernitana will lost at least 4 players who got injured but Sassuolo conditions a bit better because there was no key players from them who have serious injured and Sassuolo still rely on Kristian Thorstvedt for midfield position and Andrea Pinamonti also probably will be played since the beginning of match and my predictions is Sassuolo can able to overcomes Salernitana with narrow scores and the odds for Sassuolo is very good to bets @2.23

[piebeyb]

Meanwhile, Juventus itself has created 2 aggregates so Juventus can be sure of advancing to the final if in the second leg it is able to play well and not let Lazio score more goals than Juventus. Juventus can play more relaxed, even adding 1 goal is enough for Juventus to increase their total aggregate and ensure they qualify for the final and Juventus will face one of the clubs, whether it be Fiorentina or Atlanta, because these two clubs have not yet confirmed who will make it through from this semifinals.

Atalanta are not doing well, in fact from the last five matches they have had inconsistent and not good results, I think Fiorentina beating them is quite worth it because Fiorentina doesn't seem to waste the opportunity to win the Coppa Italia this season, winning narrowly of course. making Fiorentina's position quite safe if later in the second leg they play defensively, this can also be done by Juventus because they have won 2 - 0 on aggregate so they can play more defensively to get rid of Lazio in the second leg.

My prediction is that Juventus will face Fiorentina and Juventus certainly wants this title because they failed to compete with Inter Milan in the Italian league so they must be able to win this title with enthusiasm and play optimally to become champions of the Italian Cup this season. Allegri will certainly not be in vain. waste this opportunity because if he fails to bring Juventus to finish in the top four of the Italian league standings and fails to win the Coppa Italia title this season he will definitely be immediately fired from Juventus and not used again next season, Juventus deserves to have the best coach and players next season because Of course the competition is getting tougher.

[hahay]

Finally, we saw something from Allegri and his team. Juventus had a bad performance in the Serie A and they were far from what we could even see from this team because since they were not playing in the Champions Leauge like Inter Milan and Ac Milan, they could have a higher chance of winning the Serie A title in this season but they failed. Recently Juventus lost the game against Lazio in Serie A with a 1-0 result and they had bad performance in that game.
But just after that, in the Coppa Italia, they won the game against Lazio with a 2-0 result in the Semi-final match. Now Juventus is very close to being in the Coppa Italia final match after this win they got.

 

honestly, if I could, I would have preferred him to win the championship match. Those three points would have been very useful to us, but now we have to suffer heavily. Honestly, I dont care about the Italian cup at all like other fans like me, we want to see the European cups played!!

As long as Juventus is still in the process of building a better and strongerteam, then I think Juventus failure in Serie A is still not a big problem at all. Although indeed, Juventus hope this season is about to win the Scudetto, but ofcourse, getting the Scudetto is not as easy as imagined. So yes, if Juventus can still manage to finish in the topfour and also still have a good chance of getting the Coppa Italia trophy, I think that result is still good for Juventus this season. Of course, because Juventus will finish in the top four, next season Juventus will play in the Champions League and thus, Juventus shouldbe able to improve itsquality to be even better next season.

If compared to last season, it looks like there is much better progress this season, but we still haven't seen the end, now Juventus' performance has really declined and they won't necessarily be able to finish in the top 4.
If they manage to finish in the top 4 then I don't think it will be a big failure for Juventus this season because building a team that has fallen is not easy and fast, everything requires a process and Juventsu is in that process.

Juventus is currently a big club in Serie A that does have the worst performance in my opinion, although they can later win the Coppa Italia certainly cannot cover their failure to win the Scudetto this season, at the beginning of the season it seemed that Juventus was quite convincing in competing with InterMilan and Milan, but unexpectedly their performance dropped dramatically when the middle of the season started,  I think for now, even staying in the top 4 will be very difficult for Juventus, let alone Bologna and Roma's increasing performance in the league.

I don't know why you say that Juventus are currently in the stage of building their squad, because as far as I know the deterioration of Juventus performance has not only happened this season, but if you notice in recent seasons Juventus have been very miserable, so when you say that the question arises for me, until when will Juventus finish building their squad for the better?
I think if Juventus really want to build their squad to be better so far, of course sacking Allegri and regenerating the team should be a solution that has been done for a long time by Juventus management.

A few days ago, Juventus battled with Inter Milan for the Serie A title. But due to lack of consistency in performance, the team gradually fell behind. And it's difficult for Juventus to stay in the top four of the points table at the moment.

Juventus have won just one of their last 5 matches. Draw two matches and lose two. Juventus is in a very bad situation now. Juventus team can be in the top four of the table if they can perform a little stable. But if Juve's players continue to perform like this shit then it will be very difficult for Juventus to stay in the top four of the table.

[Asiska02]

Of course, it is a good thing that Juventus have a target on Coppa Italia, because there is nothing for them in Seria A. If they can manage to win Coppa Italia, it is better than nothing. I hope that their performance will not be a problem for them on winning the cup, since they have being inconsistent with their matches. Maybe they will try their best to see how to put in their best performance in order to win the cup. But if they did not, it means that is season was a bad one for them.

Juventus have tried their best this season and have competed in many competitions but at some point they were either eliminated or lost the title race to another club because of their lack of inconsistency. I have great hope on them, they should be able to go for the Coppa Italia if they really want it because they have all what it takes to win that cup. They’ve lost out on all the trophies they can fight for this season, they shouldn’t lose out on this or they’ll go without trophy this season which is not a good one for them.

Juventus is one step closer to reaching the Copa Italia final after first leg winning over 2-0 against Lazio, have bad performance in domestic league after failure winning last four matches in a row and the winning result on Copa Italia give motivate for Juventus winning Copa Italia trophy and secure the top fourth position in this season.
Copa Italia is the only one opportunity left for Juventus get trophy in this season, not qualify to European competition after failed reach Europe League or Champion League spot place last season and Juventus can't defend their consistency performance in domestic league left Copa Italia for winning this season. Just take focus for second leg match and Juventus must get winning again if want easily lead to final match for potential teams facing is Fiorentina.

Yes a lot of people have high hopes for Juventus but what happened they slumped at the end of this season, maybe the Coppa Europa should also be questioned whether Alegri is able to bring Juventus back to their best performance to compete, many people feel disappointed because of their inconsistency, sometimes they give us hope but sometimes they also give us confidence, it's quite confusing and I think there needs to be an improvement for Juventus, they are really messed up. Lazio should be beatable but they were like a lame horse against a team far below them in the table, are Juventus suffering from a mental injury so they have poor consistency, or Alegri doesn't have many strategies to compete anymore?

[beerlover]

Juventus who started the season on a very good note were tipped by many to go on and win the Italian Serie A because they weren't involved in any European competition this season but after a run of poor games with disappointing results, the Old Ladies of Turin were left in a position that they can't recover from to win the Italian scudetto again this season. Two days ago, they defeated Lazio with a 2:0 scoreline in the first leg of their Coppa Italia semi final game which have served as a kind of relief to some of the club's players and manager but that doesn't mean that they've qualified to the final of thr competition because they'll have to visit Lazio for the second leg if tge tie. Lazio might not be a one of the strongest four teams in Italy but they're a formidable team that's capable of beating any Italian team on their day and should they play in their full strength against Juventus in the second leg of the semi final, they might just eliminate Juventus by coming back from the two goals down to win the semi final tie

That was the most shocking thing, other teams are in European competitions, so between getting injuries on those extra games, and getting tired, that could be a reason to slowly get worse after a good start. But Juventus had nothing like that, they are not in any European competitions, all they had to do was focus on the league games and they still failed that.

I believe that manager change would help them a lot, they need to find someone who is good. Italian teams do enjoy Italian managers, and that is why I feel like they should hire someone that could be better for them. Spaletti is managing the national team, he could be convinced to get to Juventus if they pay him good money, it would give him a chance to show what he can do again.

I think that was actually Juventus' biggest mistake this season. However, Juventus managed to improve its position in 2nd place and was very close to Inter Milan to disrupt Inter's journey at the top of the standings. Unfortunately, their performance returned to their initial position, they experienced difficulties and blunders in several matches until their position in 3rd place was threatened by Bologna, which is Bologna not a big club with expensive players. If Juventus is in 4th position at the end of the season, this is the result of a fatal mistake they made, and this is a big failure.

Yes, I don't really know what happened, what they did, whether it was for Spalleti or whatever, it was a very bad strategy for the team, they did it very badly, so far things have not gone well at Napoli, not even among The top 4, at least they were in a good position in the standings last season and why not now? I don't know what happened to Osimehn, I don't know what happened to the coach, but the truth is that Napoli's performance is very bad, only last season they won and I don't know if it was a touch of luck and magic that ended, it's a shame because this team really had priority, they are not the shadow of what they were last season and that saddens, that's why they Always I will say that things with football are very changing.

all of this was caused by the big ambition or very strong desire of the owner of Napoli to be able to win the UCL title instantly but bad management when Spalletti failed to win the title in the UCL but could help Napoli get to the top of the standings to win the Scudetto title but instead the intelligent coach was fired and was replaced by another coach and this is where a big mistake occurred which had very bad consequences making it difficult for his own team to win titles in Serie A and other competitions.
no hope whatsoever for Napoli except to appear more consistent in the coming season and try to improve on a much more stable performance in the current season and I think relying too much on Osimhen is also not good for me.

In every team it is very harmful that they always depend on a player to do their things, I think that the team must integrate very well, for me Napoli has always been a team that has made the difference, that is why it makes me somewhat impressed that they are With these problems, they did nothing in the UCL, they did nothing in Serie A, they are not the shadow of what they were last season, what happened? I don't know, but I think that the things that have happened have affected the team a lot, whether because of Osimhen or not, things must improve, but the team is only 11, and those who are on the bench, so they have to do things a lot better to be able to get out of where they are.

Watch: Napoli release trailer of Scudetto documentary

Napoli have released a trailer of the upcoming documentary ‘Sarò con te’, which goes behind the scenes of their Scudetto victory.

The Partenopei ended over three decades of waiting last season when Luciano Spalletti and his squad light up Serie A, electrifying their opponents as they cruised to the title. Whilst the spark has faded this term, that campaign will never be forgotten in the Campania capital.

I think that Juve should already finish in the top 4 places because they have really made a great effort, it would be very sad if they can't do it, I think that we Juve fans have suffered a lot, I don't know why in these moments they have slacked off So much so, especially when they should raise the level, I think these things are what they should remember, the truth is I wanted them to be first, but seeing that Inter is a machine, the osas have to continue their course, in this order In the end things can go very well if things need to be clarified, I could say that when it is necessary to do anything to improve the whole team must be committed, I want them to continue as third, not to lose another game.

Yeah Juventus played like without ambition they miss the last 4 matches without a win even their position in the 3rd place is completely not safe Bologna in the 4th place can take over at any time because only 2 points behind, do you think Juventus will come out of the top 4 and AS Roma took place there? this will be a question for all of us and this might happen if Juventus cannot get out of this situation. Currently Serie A has only 8 matches left or 24 points that can be collected this means that changes can occur because AS Roma is also close to top 4.

I don't have any idea if Juventus are taking the remaining part of the season that serious or not, these guys has given up to me and we know even if they try Inter are already champions but the only thing the old ladies would do is just to avoid falling off the top 4 so that they can make the champions league spot, is been long since we see them play European football. I believe they can survive the remaining part of the season, that to say they won't lose any game or point.

Juventus and Bologna have only a difference of 2 points between them. At the same time, Juventus will have to play some very hard matches in the upcoming times, and that includes a match against Bologna. So there is a very good chance that Juventus does not stay where they are right now. Juventus might fall to the 4th position.

Actually, I really want to see Juventus to finish in the 4th position at least. Because I don't think they will be performing so badly that they will go out of the top 4. But the team that is in the 5th position, Roma, seems to be improving and being consistent as well. So you never know. I hope the Juventus players and Allegri also, will get more serious about their performance.

The biggest mistake of Juventus is they lose focus on some matches, specifically in the last 4 matches. They are competing with Inter Milan for the title but then they are struggling in the 2nd place. Now, they are only in the 3rd place. The drop in their performance is too much, I don't know what it can happen to a big team like Juventus. I guess there is a problem again with Allegri and Juventus management. Or there is a serious problem between Allegri and Juventus players. So, they have no motivation to keep winning and have good cooperation in the game.

Bologna was not a big team, but they are a strong team this season under Thiago Motta management. Thiago Motta did a great job with Bologna, he really could improve this team. So, we no longer can underestimate Bologna, they even could eliminate Inter Milan in Coppa Italia. If Juventus failed to improve their performance in the next few matches, Bologna also can overtake Juventus in 3rd place in Serie A standings.

Milan vs lecce next day.

Milan coach Stefano Pioli confirms Malick Thiaw won’t be available against Lecce tomorrow but hopes the German centre-back will return to action against Roma on Thursday when Fikayo Tomori will be suspended.

Milan are preparing to host Lecce at the Stadio Meazza on Saturday, just five days before the first leg of the Europa League quarter-finals against Roma, also at San Siro.

https://football-italia.net/thiaw-pioli-confirms-milan-defender-out-against-lecce/

It shall be noted if a Milan defender will be out against Lecce, which is not something serious. Thiaw can still be replaced by another player. Lecce is also a very weak club, and it will be easy for Milan to win the game against Lecce. Milan, at very least, gets a narrow score win against Lecce.

Some considerations that shall be taken before betting on this match.

- Home game for milan.
- Inconsistent performance from lecce, it's placed at 13th
- good odds for home game (1.38)

It's obvious that picking Milan is my preferred choice for sure. It's caused Milan is still performing very well even though it was struggle at the mid of season.

One of the things I noticed about the two teams which is Ac Milan and Lecce, there matches are not always easy even if it may seem that one club is above another in the table because the last time they meet was actually difficult for them which ended in 2-2, so who knows if they will struggle the way they did on there last match, I'm not saying that Lecce has an equal performance with Ac Milan but is just that Lecce always give Ac Milan a hard time.

But although with how Ac Milan has been performing I believe that there would be a change on this match because regardless of how they are currently leading Juventus with 6 points they are not completely safe so they will need to continue wining there matches in other to go more higher.

[Weawant]

Juventus have tried their best this season and have competed in many competitions but at some point they were either eliminated or lost the title race to another club because of their lack of inconsistency. I have great hope on them, they should be able to go for the Coppa Italia if they really want it because they have all what it takes to win that cup. They’ve lost out on all the trophies they can fight for this season, they shouldn’t lose out on this or they’ll go without trophy this season which is not a good one for them.

Juventus rhis season form me, I'm very disappointed in them because i expected much more from them but sadly they are no where close to been that which is expected of them, they declined so bad that it git to the point thst has to sound like the point of no recovery for them because they are not able to even get to achieve more both in their form and their results so far, they have been able to achieve only less.

Initially in the league this season, it was actually looking like the title race was mostly between inter Milan and Juventus buy at this point it's beginning to look beyond that as both teams are no where close to each other because Juventus is now far behind inter Milan who is at the top of the table with over rent points already which could actually mean that no team can be able to get them away from the top of the table and the certainty of their winning the trophy at this point is now very high a d they are most definitely not going to let it go because it's the only opportunity for inter to get a trophy this season.

Juventus is most definitely not going to get any trophy out of this season, they may just have to play ro manage and finish within the top four on the table and beyond that, they may actually not be seen on the table as they actually don't have what it takes to scale above that point on the league table this season as the team at the top is currently very far ahead with points that will require so much work to her to and the time is not there anymore.

This is Juventus' revenge for Lazio, who beat them in Serie A. But unfortunately, yesterday in Serie A, Juventus failed to win against Lazio. Even though this is a more prestigious match.

At least, Juventus did not disappoint many parties in this match. because after all, they had just lost to Lazio quite horribly in Serie A. So, they had to fight even more optimally in this Italian Copa and they succeeded in doing it.

However, Juventus must pay attention and improve their performance again in Serie A, the main league in Italy. Because this is a procedure that is much more reliable and expected by all clubs. because, after all, one of Juventus' goals this time is also to enter the Champions League next season. So no matter what, they have to stay in the top 4 and qualify.

So, if their performance in Serie A continues to decline and they experience more defeats, that's it. Their position will be increasingly threatened by other clubs. Although, for now, the club with the most potential to take over Juventus' position is Bologna. But, we'll see how Juventus can handle all this, if they are really serious about entering the UCL.

Juventus is still looking alright as I think their only goal is to qualify for the Champions League this season. I thought they would be able to compete with Inter Milan for the Scudetto until the end of the season, but the distance between them and Inter is huge. It's 20 points after 30 games, which I think doesn't need any more comments.

If Juventus plans to close that gap anytime soon and finally become competitive again, I think they would have to add several high quality players to their team. This is certainly not sufficient right now. They are scoring a mere 1.5 goals per game, which is very poor for a team that thrives to be among the best in Europe. Their defense is more or less ok although it doesn't really help them as they are rarely scoring goals themselves.

But they should keep an eye on what's happening behind them. It is 7 points to Roma, but there are a couple of hard games coming up and Roma probably hasn't given up on the top 4 just yet.
