Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Leviathan.007]

To be honest the performance of Roma during this season when Mourinho left the team and they started working with De Rossi was much better than before. The team is fresher and they are motivated more than before. Roma can now have the chance to win the other games and get the Champions League ticket while they didn't have this chance during the last season with their faus coach Mourinho.
AC MIlanwas not a weak team and they have been having good performance recently. Even though they are in the second place of the table and they had a better performance than Juventus. But in the game against Roma, AC Milan lost the game with a 1-0 result, which shows the good performance of Roma and De Rossi.
Just like the other games Roma had, Dybala was the key player and he made the assist to Gianluca Mancini score the goal for his team.

Roma's good performance is not repeated consistently. Actually, I can't say that Mourinho had a bad Roma career. Everyone expects too much from Mourinho. There is a certain limit to what he can do with the team he has, and I can say that he was successful with this team. They won the UEFA Europa Conference League with Mourinho and this is a great success.

The team's victory against Milan is very valuable because Milan has been playing very well lately. Roma has achieved good harmony with De Rossi and they can show this on the field. They had an advantageous away score in the first match and showed what they could do in the second match. Despite this win, I think Milan has a better chance of passing the round in the second match.

[Weawant]

The change of coach was of course quite a big influence, especially since Spalletti was one of the teams that made Napoli's performance improve drastically and only in Spalletti's hands could the Napoli team be successful in the last few seasons.
And Spalletti's departure was the end of everything which required the Napoli team to start all over again to work on building this team into a strong team again and that was not easy.
For now, I think Napoli will need the next few seasons to be able to return to being one of the top teams competing for the title, and this season there is clearly nothing more to expect from Napoli.

Normally changing of a coach mid season usually has gat its own effect on any team who has got to go through such because at that time the team members may actually get to find it difficult coming with the new coach they are getting and trying to adopt to his coaching styles and tactics may actually be a whole lot for them and may as well take some time especially if the exiting coach has stayed long enough that the player has gotten too used to his style a readjustment wouldn't be easy.

Napoli has gotten such an experience this season and it actually did affected them In a way even if they will fail to accept that it actually did affected them but then they have suffered the effects as even their very key player who usually turns to be the game changer for them  couldn't at some point be able to  cope as it became obvious in his performance but then they have to cope because it's what they have on ground without a second choice, since this Coach had been with then through this season which could actually be seen as considerably long enough, i think he can actually start building in them to get the kind of team that will bring results by next season.

Napoli will actually have to struggle with certain things next season as their key player will be leaving although there have been no fromal announcement to that effect yet but the speculations are really strong and are most definitely going to happen so they will get to probably look for a replacement or better still groom the team to be able to cover up for his absence so they get use to it as the season proceeds.

Lazio played like a team who's about to be crowned champions and I could see Inter Milan in them as they played with so much flexibility and calmness when they're with the ball and I ask myself why are they not giving Inter Milan a tough time this season? If we have to use a particular game to judge teams I'd say Lazio are better than Napoli this season but is like whenever the Lazio side play against a smaller team they just take advantage of the fact that they're the bigger boys but you see tonight's performance, it was outstanding for the Lazio side.

The change of coach was of course quite a big influence, especially since Spalletti was one of the teams that made Napoli's performance improve drastically and only in Spalletti's hands could the Napoli team be successful in the last few seasons. And Spalletti's departure was the end of everything which required the Napoli team to start all over again to work on building this team into a strong team again and that was not easy.

It is true. Spalletti is the reason why Napoli became a strong team in the previous season. When he coached Napoli, even though the players at Napoli were not big players. However, with his expertise in managing and coaching his squad, Napoli not only won Serie A but also gave birth to great, strong and solid players. This is what is special about Spalletti. And this really ended after Spalletti left Napoli to become coach of the Italian national team. It's a shame that after Spalletti left, Napoli were unable to find a coach who suited them, even after changing several times.

For now, I think Napoli will need the next few seasons to be able to return to being one of the top teams competing for the title, and this season there is clearly nothing more to expect from Napoli.

Exactly. If they find again the suitable coach who is able to build Napoli, manage it and train it to become a solid and strong team again, Napoli can definitely become a top club again. However, this is not possible this season. Either for the next season or several seasons into the future. Really, everything depends on the coach, because Napoli itself doesn't have any significant star players, it looks like Osimhen will leave Napoli next season.

[Slow death]

Napoli can no longer be relied on like last season after Spalletti's departure. Even though this could be wrong, the departure of the coach who led them to become champions was felt in Napoli's game. They are not as solid as last season and in their games they are not as good as last season. This season they made a lot of mistakes that we didn't see last season. This season they don't have good consistency and that makes them achieve a lot of negative results in the matches they play.
The news that Osimhen will leave Napoli is news that has been heard for a long time, but it seems that this season it will become a reality.

Since Spalletti's departure, Napoli has had many coaches, it started with Rudi Garcia, then Walter Mazzarri, then Francesco Calzona[/color]. This is something difficult to see in any team. Even in the most demanding leagues and in cases of teams fighting to get out of relegation, I don't see them having 3 different coaches in a season. I keep asking myself why the Napoli management were so desperate this season to the point of hiring 3 coaches? This means that Napoli's management spent a lot of money terminating the contracts of the last two coaches, I'm talking about terminating the contracts with Rudi Garcia and Walter Mazzarri. This is a huge financial loss that could have been avoided and the money could have been used to sign other good players. I wonder:

Was it worth having 3 coaches this season?



Even though they have 3 coaches this season, Napoli is in position number 8 and has little chance of finishing in at least 4th position. So was it the 3 coaches' fault or is Napoli's squad simply not good? The problem of having club directors who have not followed the evolution of their opponents is very serious. Last season Inter and Milan were very unstable, but they already showed signs of improvement in the last league games, that should have served as a signal for Napoli's management to also improve the squad and hire a coach with a good record of achievements in Serie A and coach who would be for the long term, and not someone who would win the title immediately. The greed for the immediate title blinded Napoli's directors who spent a lot of money on hiring coaches

Lazio played like a team who's about to be crowned champions and I could see Inter Milan in them as they played with so much flexibility and calmness when they're with the ball and I ask myself why are they not giving Inter Milan a tough time this season? If we have to use a particular game to judge teams I'd say Lazio are better than Napoli this season but is like whenever the Lazio side play against a smaller team they just take advantage of the fact that they're the bigger boys but you see tonight's performance, it was outstanding for the Lazio side.

Knowing that Lazio's opponent is a team from the relegation zone and that in the last 14 games they haven't won in any game, it honestly doesn't serve to measure Lazio's performance. salernitana conceded 4 goals when they played against inter and they couldn't even score at least 1 goal, they also conceded 6 goals when they played against juventus. They conceded 4 goals when they played against Cagliari. They recently conceded 3 goals when they played against Bologna and didn't score at least 1 goal. before playing against lazio, they played against sassuolo and conceded 2 goals. In my opinion, Salernitana is a team with a weak defense, and an extremely weak team and Lazio simply had the luck to play against an extremely weak team. This doesn't mean that Lazio is strong and that they play well in my opinion

playing against teams like atalanta, bologna, fiorentina, milan, udinese and roma, lazio lose against all the teams I mentioned and those were lazio's last games. something recent. unfortunately lazio is not like last season. It seems like they have the same problems as Napoli. I hope that next season they improve because they are a good team

So was it the 3 coaches' fault or is Napoli's squad simply not good? The problem of having club directors who have not followed the evolution of their opponents is very serious.

Coaches are not main problems that are their players who are good but not at world class level and can not adapt to more research and investigation from opponents to deal with Napoli and their players. We can see it with many players who have only one or two good seasons in their career, then failed to maintain or upgrade it in later years.

Currently many Napoli players are facing with this challenge and they must overcome this by themselves, from training and their own talent as well as adaptation. Coaches are not all and can not help players to solve these issues on player side.

With current position of Napoli, with 10 points less than Bologna that stands at the fourth position, chance for Napoli to finish this season in top four is zero. Even chance for them to complete in top six of Serie A starts to be small with their recent poor performances.

[rendravolt]

It's been a long time since I saw Lazio win with a big score like this and they did it at home when they hosted Salernitana last night. The victory with a landslide score of 4-1 confirmed a positive result for Lazio after previously losing against Roma. Felipe Anderson recorded a brace and don't forget the other two goals were scored by Vicano and Isaksen.

Even though Salernitana managed to get back with a goal they scored through Tchaona, that wasn't enough because Lazio continued to increase their goal difference in the second half. A good result for Lazio and now they have moved up to 7th in the standings by overtaking Napoli, while for Salernitana they have to mourn their fate at the end of the season which allowed them to be relegated. The remaining matches will not be enough to help Salernitana to escape the relegation zone and that is a reality they have to accept.

[Popkon6]

Here was a great game, for their performance was so good that the entire gallery was cheering for them. The game before halftime has created a gap of 3-1 goals. Halftime ends, and Lazio team scored another goal in the second half. And they produced great performances, and the Salernitana team's goalkeeper is not that experienced. Two goals were due to mistakes by the goalkeeper, a ball he could have prevented if he had tried. But the goal was far ahead of the bar due to which Lazio players were able to score.

The remaining matches will not be enough to help Salernitana to escape the relegation zone and that is a reality they have to accept.

We already predicted that Lazio will win against Salernitana. Salernitana is a very weak team. This team has been performing badly since the beginning of the season. And now Salernitana is in the last position of the points table. Salernitana has no chance of getting out of the relegation zone. Salernitana has won only two matches out of 32 matches.

Lazio's players were confident from the start of the match. Felipe Anderson's goal in just 7 minutes gave Lazio the lead. And in the 14th minute, Vecino's goal gave Lazio a 2-0 lead. Although Salernitana scored a goal in the 16th minute, Lazio managed to take a 3-1 lead at the end of the first half. And in the end Lazio got a fantastic 4-1 win.

as I have said before here, in the end Salernitana will only be a place to get points for the top teams and any team that is at the top of the standings gets an opponent like Salernitana will definitely feel happy because they will get 3 points at the end of the match except for the team the top board was too underestimated and ended in a draw.
for me, the result of 4 scores obtained by Lazio is not an interesting result for me because Salernitana is just a weak team that is having difficulty surviving in Serie A this season so it will be easy for Lazio to get additional points and maintain its current position.
I think it's not just the goalkeeper's fault but in terms of squad depth, Salernitana are very weak and don't have the ability to match the performance of top teams when playing away.
unless Salernitana plays at home, maybe the situation can change, the players will be more confident, but if they play away, they will ultimately lose by a big score.

there were several more scores that Lazio missed and if I count them there are still 3 scores that Lazio could have achieved again but they couldn't get on target so they only ended up with 4 scores.

Prepared yourself for the worst to come because staking for the favor of average team will make one lose their stands and money. Italian league are not for newbies, average teams that are not inform will always learn the hardware because they have zero chances of leveling scores. I'm surprised to see Lazio thrash Sportiva Salernitana 4-1. It was an interesting game to watch because Lazio gave in everything not to draw tie with relegation zone team, atleast they grabbed significant points.

Is never a luck to play against Salernitana because it has to be, Lazio was unlucky in front of goal if not the goals would have been more than 4. We still have those teams who will play against Salernitana without scoring more than 2 goals and their performance would be very poor or they can even play out a draw.
So Lazio are trying to prove a point and if a team who hasn't been performing well start doing something better than before you have to applaud them and going against those teams I think they (Lazio) can get something positive out from it if they continue playing the way they did last night.

That's right, there will be 6 rounds left in the season, meaning the possibility of competing for the Scudetto only exists in theory. Currently, AC Milan and Juventus are only trying to stay in the top 4 position. Obviously, if you can't win the championship, it doesn't matter where you stand in the Top four.

AC Milan is so secure in the Top 4 of Serie A that they can play a few bad matches without worrying about being threatened. Accordingly, coach Piolo and his team hold 68 points/31 games. As for Juventus, they should be careful with Bologna and AS Roma because these two teams can knock Juventus out of the top 4 when they are clinging to Juventus. A victory over Torino will be a way for Juventus to strengthen their position better.

That means there is no chance for Juventus to catch up with the points collected by Inter Milan and even AC Milan, which is in second place in the standings, is also unable to catch up with Inter Milan. Maintaining the top four is something even better because they can play in the Champions League next season. AC Milan is indeed more comfortable in second place in the standings because they have points that are impossible for Juventus or Bologna to catch up with.

Juventus need to be careful because if they play inconsistently then Bologna could catch up on the points they have collected, even though fourth place in the standings will also qualify for the Champions League. But for Juventus they should be able to maintain their current position because Bologna is not much better than them.

Bologna vs Monza

Serie A only have 7 matches remaining before ended i think Bologna should be able to managed their consistency if they want to secured last spot of Champion League and last week they were slipped because Bologna only playing draw against Frosinone and today if their position don't want to taking over by Roma then Bologna should be win this match and for Monza actually as small team i think Monza performance during this season is quite good because so far they can collect 42 points from 11 wins and 9 draw

According to the squad update of both teams i can see Monza condition is a bit unvafourable compared to Bologna because they will lost at least 5 players and mostly those players is Monza important players and for Bologna their defender Sam Beukema will not be available but Riccardo Orsolini and Joshua Zirkzee in the good fitness and ready to played and about the result of this match we all know Bologna performance is very impressive this season especially while playing at their home moreover Bologna condition is more better than Monza so i am sure today Bologna will being an the winner of this match but the bookmakers didn't provide high odds for Bologna win @1.57

Two goals were due to mistakes by the goalkeeper, a ball he could have prevented if he had tried. But the goal was far ahead of the bar due to which Lazio players were able to score.

Lazio had a good result, but it was against a weak club, so that result was expected. Salernita didn't have a bad coach, but the team's quality was terrible compared to the lazio and this is my main concern considering the qualify of clubs matters a lot . Without a doubt, it makes no difference how good the coach is, as long as the team has a pathetic squad and low qualify players and the outcome will be the same even when team changed its coach for thousand times.

Salernita must focus on how to improve the club's performance when it is relegated to serie B caused by it has no chance anymore to leave from the relegation zone. Salernita has no chance of qualifying for the Serie A next season and club shall use serie b as a way to rebuild the competitive club again. Many people are praising Lazio's win over Salernitana caused by they were rarely seeing lazio scored a lot like this, but there was nothing special about this match.

A mid-table club outperformed a bottom-table club. There's nothing special about this. I would always blame Lazio if they lost to Salernitana, but that isn't happening.




The next easy match like lazio vs salernitana will come soon. Intermilan is gonna face cagliari which is also a bad club in serie a. Im expecting the same result like when lazio was able beating salernitana with decent scores.
Cagliari will do nothing against intermilan since intermilan is at its peak performance this time. Things are getting even harder for cagliari to defend its position.

[Uruhara]

Lazio played like a team who's about to be crowned champions and I could see Inter Milan in them as they played with so much flexibility and calmness when they're with the ball and I ask myself why are they not giving Inter Milan a tough time this season? If we have to use a particular game to judge teams I'd say Lazio are better than Napoli this season but is like whenever the Lazio side play against a smaller team they just take advantage of the fact that they're the bigger boys but you see tonight's performance, it was outstanding for the Lazio side.

What Lazio displayed in the match against Salernitana made me remember Lazio's performance last season, which also had an extraordinary performance like this time. Even last season Lazio was better than Inter Milan and AC Milan. It's just that this season Lazio doesn't seem to be distracted by focusing on the UCL which has made their match results in Serie A worse. But now I appreciate them again for showing their extraordinary performance again. Winning with a score of 4-1 was a very impressive victory. But we also expected this to happen. Because the opponent they face is Salernitana, who are the worst this season in Serie A. In fact, Salernitana will almost certainly be relegated this season. And next season Salernitana will start again from Serie B.

Lazio are just inconsistent that's why. 15 wins and 13 losses, this is really poor statistics. Beating Salernitana was too easy on paper and they didn't surprise people. In the end the season is already over for Salernitana like ı said before. However in general of the season, Lazio have defensive problems and I can't say they have good number for goals scored either. 

Only 41 goals scored while conceding 35. They are like the Manchester United of the Serie A this season.    As long as they don't fix these obvious problems this summer then I don't have much hope about them for next season. But I hope they get better as they are one of the strong teams of the league normally.

[xzone]

I think a player like Osimhen needs to play in a better team. Can you become the best player in the world by playing for Napoli? This is almost impossible.
I think a player at the age where he needs to show his highest performance should be in a team like Arsenal or Bayern. It has a value of over 100 million euros, but they are not using its potential right now. I think there is no need for such a player for a team that cannot even be among the top 3 teams in the Italian league

Yes, I also agree that Osimhen's good performance will be a waste if he stays at Napoli for too long. Because he needs to try to play at a different level at a different club or in a different competition such as in the EPL or in Laliga. Actually, quite a lot of people have wanted Osimhen since last season. It's just that Napoli set a price that was too high which made all interested clubs prefer to withdraw slowly. Napoli without Spalletti is very different. But Napoli without Osimhen would also be worse. So I also understand why the club always wants to keep him.

We are talking about a value of 100 million euros. There is no point in keeping such a player in the squad when Napoli has the opportunity to earn such money. With this money, they can provide a great resource for the development of infrastructure football. They can transfer new players. They cannot achieve success in such a league with only 1 star player, they also take away the player's future.
I think if an offer comes from a good club, a transfer should be made

Lazio looked damn good last night, no question. They were clinical, they were composed; that's great, but Salernitana is a mess. They're hemorrhaging goals, bottom of the table for a reason. This wasn't a true test for Lazio

Lazio's got talent, but they've been inconsistent as hell this season. Wins against weaker teams are great, but they drop points against the big boys: Atalanta, Milan, Roma. They've gotta find a way to bring that same intensity against the best Serie A has to offer. It's a different mentality

I'm a (temp) fan, you're a fan, we all want to see Lazio succeed. But let's be honest, one great game doesn't make a season. They've gotta prove they can bring that same energy week in, week out, especially against the top teams. Then, maybe we can start talking about them being in the same conversation as Napoli and Inter
