Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[el kaka22]

Juventus failing to win one more race, which is funny enough was what people expected at this point from them, a win by Juventus is more unlikely than a loss of points, they won 1 out of last 5 games for example, which shows that they are not really doing all that great.

I think we should be considering the situation they have right now as just a team that is not winning, of course we do not know if they will lose or tie so it is not easy to make bets on their games, but the odds are whenever they play a game, the win is less than 50%, and other two are bigger than 50% which is sad considering how they started the season but we have to point out that it is the reality now, since the second half of the season started.

Napoli have now changed from an elite Serie A club to a mediocre club, their decline in performance has been so fast and so significant. Personally, I think that Napoli chances of finishing in the European zone are becoming increasingly difficult, because in the remaining 5 matches they will not be consistent in securing full points. Napoli have at least three tough matches ahead, they have to face Roma, Fiorentina and Bologna and have the potential to lose points again. Simply put, they were unable to beat Empoli, it is natural to assume that Napoli will have difficulty beating these three tough opponents.

Changing coaches is an obligation for Napoli management next season, they have to find the right person like Spalletti, so they can compete again as a team challenging for the title. But the challenge going forward is to maintain the main squad, because Osimhen is reported to be leaving next season. Regarding Atalanta, they have the potential to disrupt the competition between Roma and Bologna, and they also have a big chance of playing in the Europa League next season.

Napoli are the defending champions after they won the Scudetto last season, but somehow their performance this season looks like a mediocre team even though the composition of their squad last season and now is not much different, but it seems that the departure of their coach last season had a significant impact on Napoli, Spalletti's decision to coach the Italian national team made him leave Napoli with all his glory last season,  This season Napoli have made at least 3 changes of coach but instead their performance has only improved in a few matches after that we can see Napoli's performance deteriorate again like when they were defeated by Empoli yesterday.

About the change of coach next season, of course remains and must be done by Napoli even if Calzona is able to make Napoli better this season, Calzona is Napoli's interim coach after Mazzarri was fired, Calzona's position until the end of the season because he is currently the coach of the Slovakian national team, so inevitably Napoli will have to find another coach next season to be able to lift Napoli's performance and compete again in the Scudetto next season

Since the second half of this season, Juventus has experienced quite a drastic decline. Actually, all of this was caused by their poor attack line which always failed to take advantage of opportunities. And most matches always end in a draw. Even Cagliari, which is not a strong team, was able to hold Juventus to a draw. And yes, that's quite surprising considering that Juventus started the season well even though at that time many of their players were injured. But after the injured players returned, Juventus' performance decreased and they rarely won. Even now, Bologna has the potential to approach Juventus even closer. Because currently Juventus only has 64 points from 33 matches. Meanwhile, Bologna has 59 points from 32 matches. And if Bologna manages to win the next match, Bologna will have 62 points. But Juventus will probably still struggle to maintain their position. Because it would be very surprising if Juventus lost their ticket to the UCL. And I think that probably won't happen.

The Milano derby game between Milan and Inter can still be delightful to watch despite the big point gap between.    Inter are highly favoured here of course which is quite normal. Their odds are still higher than my expectation though, 1.99. Inter demolished Milan in their previous head-to-head in the league like 5-1 you know.

I don't expect such big score this time but I don't think Inter would lose either. Double chance for Inter or maybe going for both teams to score seem like reasonable options for me. Especially both teams should be able to score easily while Milan are also doing well in the league these days.

I'm sure both of them will score goals. Basically there is nothing AC Milan hopes for apart from maintaining its position as runner up and finishing in the top four, but apart from that Inter Milan also wants to win because of course to maintain the point difference as well as celebrate the victory faster and get the Italian league title. this season, they don't need to win with a high score, just a narrow win for Inter Milan is more than enough, this derby match is always eagerly awaited by every supporter because this is a prestigious match.

I'm sure this match will have high tension but I won't be able to predict who will win but I agree with you that both will definitely score goals so bet on the goals scored by both of them, but it's not important who will win in this match because Ac Milan just want to maintain their position as runners up and don't want Juventus to overtake them because the point difference is very close even though there is still a chance for Ac Milan to maintain the gap because there are still games remaining at the end of this season so they still have that chance at least to get a UCL ticket by finishing in the top four.

Napoli continues to be wounded. Unable to stop the loss of points, Napoli finally failed to get 3 points by losing 1-0 as a result of the match against Empoli yesterday. Napoli continues to play in the league in a way that is really far from the football they played last season. We are leaving behind a bad season for them. Empoli is a relegation candidate team and getting 3 points from an opponent like Napoli in such a match was very important for them to stay in the league.
In what promises to be the most important match of the week, Hellas Verona hosted Udinese at home. Since both teams have the potential to be relegated, this match was of great importance for both teams. Before the match we were expecting 2 teams with equal points to be able to break the balance at the end of the match and that's what happened. Verona won at home with a single goal and thus gained 3 points on their opponents.

Is it that all their players lost form at the same time or what, because I could remember in the middle of the season Vlahovic was in form, and he do score in almost all their matches, but now it is the opposite. It is quite surprising to see a strong club now vulnerable to defeat by medicore teams.

As for Napoli, I think that the problem the club is facing now is a good coach who will bring them back to the lime light just as what Spalleti did for the club last season. Napoli struggles to draw matches recently.

Exactly the point, Napoli has lost that prestige unlike before, the have been unable to secure some point that ordinarily if it were to be before now they would grab them easily, for bettors, no one will like to bet on napoli again because of their poor performance, they have not been in their peak this season, talking about empoli being in the relegation line thougb one thung is for sure, relegation zone teams always play spoiling part more when the season has reach this level thats a fact but for a team like napoli we wernt expecting such degradation, for me i expected that even though napoli didnt win at the end of the day atleast a draw would have been better, they have to really up their game atleast for a little push up in their league before the league comes to the end.

The scudetto is a fight for elite teams this season. Napoli are ranked 8th position on the Seria A table this season, really one of the worst stats coming from an elite team this season. Napoli will continue to record poor results in matches, you want to know why? The former coach, Luciano Spalleti left the club in no solid hands that will produce good results, instead he exits the club and they're fighting essentially to accumulate three points against mediocre opponents.

After losing at home to Empoli, now the Napoli team has to move back down to the top eight, which is a very weak position for them this season. Napoli is too late to improve their team now because there is not much left of the season, although it is also not wrong for the team to try to improve the performance of a team that is so weak now that they are even very doubtful of being relied on in any match this season. And for Napoli fans, don't be discouraged when you have to accept the bitter reality that has happened to Napoli this season.

There is no hope for Napoli this season, they have experienced something difficult for them to accept which shows inconsistency in their game. Their game has changed very significantly if we compare it to last season, where last season they were able to show very good things, they even had nicknames when kicking off, such as Spaletti kick off. Now they have transformed into an "ordinary" team.
It's a shame that last season they performed very well, whereas this season they have to accept the fact that they have to decline very deeply and even in the standings they can't occupy at least the Champions League zone. This is a sad thing for the team that holds the status of defending champions this season. They have to improve it next season, they have the opportunity to perform even better. They must take advantage of the time they have to make themselves better.

With this information it seem that atalanta willy fully focus on attacking and despite monza also.let see what will really happen at the end of the match. But from my observations the favorite team to win game is Atlanta because it seem their more in form than monza,  despite that Atalanta is not recently consistency. But as the game will be play in monza home I will say that Atlanta will really found the game hard to win but I believe that atalanta will find way to win the game.

The problem Napoli is currently facing has got a whole lot to do with their management and the way the team is actually been coordinated because before now when they had some kindempo of stability in their management the team was actually see as one of the prestigious in the whole of the Italian league, although they have not been really characterized with outstanding and productive performance but then they had some respect

Until last season they weren't a really top team and after last season that they were able to break out of the long streak of been not productive enough they needed sustainability to help them keep up with such that they were able to achieve las season but sadly they allowed negligence made them feel they will be able to still achieve such results again without having to really do much and that was the beginning of the crisis in the team the point the got to change their coach and since then the rest has been history. Napoli needs to do a whole lot of improvement if not they may never get to lift the trophy again not even in the following season.

 Empoli is actually even doing much better then Napoli and this may actually get Napoli to be in terrible position especially in the fact that they were performing against such a weak team as I'd they were playing against an average team which should be seen in their level i think it will even get worse by next season when their key player will be leaving them as he's not willing to stay back because he wasn't giving the honor due him as some one who got them the trophy after a very long time.

[coinlocket$]

Sassuolo lost again today and now their situation is critical.
Without their key players Berardi they can't compete.

With this pace they will probably relegated back in serie B after a decade in Serie A.

This happens when you only think about profit and you keep selling your best players.

What can Napoli expect now after management ruined Napoli's performance?
I say this because it is very clear that initially everything was fine when Spalletti became Napoli's coach, but Napoli very stupidly fired Spalletti and that's when Napoli's downfall was seen, while the coach managed to give an initial sign of Napoli's improvement in Serie A.
Empoli deserved to beat Napoli and it was not luck because in the early minutes Empoli was able to steal 1 score from Napoli and that is the bad thing about Napoli at the moment that you should avoid betting on every match of this club.

After this season is over and if Napoli continues to try to use the trend of changing coaches in succession, Napoli's future will definitely get worse and will even become like a weak club.

I'm sure both of them will score goals. Basically there is nothing AC Milan hopes for apart from maintaining its position as runner up and finishing in the top four, but apart from that Inter Milan also wants to win because of course to maintain the point difference as well as celebrate the victory faster and get the Italian league title. this season, they don't need to win with a high score, just a narrow win for Inter Milan is more than enough, this derby match is always eagerly awaited by every supporter because this is a prestigious match.

I don't think Milan will be able to postpone Inter Scudetto celebration party tomorrow, although we understand the purpose of the derby match between the two teams, but we can clearly see the strength and consistency of the two teams this season, in my opinion Inter is slightly better. The best result that Milan could possibly achieve is holding Inter to a draw, but in my opinion the Inzaghi fleet doesn't want to share the points and postpone their party.

Currently Milan is experiencing a decline in performance, especially after being beaten by Roma in the Europa League in two legs, so I think Inter are favorites in this match. Indeed, there are no guarantees, and it is possible that Milan will be able to create a turning point in performance and avenge their defeat in the first half of the season.

In essence, the Milan derby match will not have a big impact, because Inter just wants to lock in the Scudetto more quickly and Milan wants to solidify its position in second place in the standings. On the other hand, there is another quite interesting match tomorrow where Bologna will face Roma, we know that this is a competition to win a place in the Champions League zone.

Juventus dropping points against Cagliari could become a costly mistake although they can be lucky that Roma is now taking on Bologna and points will be dropped. But Roma is still two games behind and if they win the game that was suspended against Udinese and then the game against Bologna, the table could be looking very scary for Juventus. I thought they had been through already weeks ago, but didn't think that they would start dropping points nonstop. A win against Bologna would definitely be the decisive step for Roma to make the Champions League qualification possible. De Rossi is doing a pretty good job and Mourinho must be asking himself what was going on with the team under his management.

[Weawant]

But as the game will be play in monza home I will say that Atlanta will really found the game hard to win but I believe that atalanta will find way to win the game.

Actually focusing on attacking is a brilliant idea if Atlanta is able to keep to it well enough but whats actually not enough is in the fact that they will most definitely not be able to maintain it long enough through the game a s Atlanta I'd a team that doesn't really have an attacking kind of mentality and most of their tactics isn't attack oriented so them now trying to be an attacking team in this game is actually not going to be sustainable enough.

The advantage Atlanta will be having is that the team they will be facing isn't a tough team neither bare they weak but then they are such that they can be handled if only Atlanta is able to be very tactical about their approach and making sure they identify their points of opportunity with Monza then they can be sure to get complete three points off that game because I'm very sure Monza isn't going to promise an easy game not for any reason so they are most definitely going to be able to making sure they are going to defend too as they wouldn't want to concede too many goals.

Monza this season hasn't really been of great performance and so they may aswell not been really hard enough for Atlanta even if Atalanta is just an average team like them but then by the record Atlanta seem to have recorded much more better performance than Monza has done this season So i doubt if they are even appearing strong but then they have what may be seen as relatively fair depth as compared to their opponent.

This is a sad thing for the team that holds the status of defending champions this season. They have to improve it next season, they have the opportunity to perform even better. They must take advantage of the time they have to make themselves better.

If you compare Napoli performance this season with last season, of course there is quite a big difference because Napoli this season is really weak and unable to show their good strength this season. Some of the star players who helped Napoli win the Scudetto last season, in fact this season they haven't shown their best qualities at all. Napoli is currently stuck in 8th place and in my opinion Napoli have no more chance of achieving their target of finishing in 4th position because they are already far behind Bologna.

Yes, in yesterday match, Empoli was able to embarrass Napoli because Empoli managed to come out as winners. If we look at Empoli of course they are not a strong team but they managed to beat the defending champions. It is still difficult for the Napoli coach to raise the quality of his players because there has been a change of coach this season, but in fact they are still having difficulty rising from their downturn.

Now they have transformed into an "ordinary" team.

The departure of Spalletti changed everything in Napoli. The players motivation dropped, their game style be disordered, and the players become undisciplined. With this condition, it is very difficult to expect the players to play consistently. The new coaches failed to solve the problems, they even made it worse. Rudi Garcia, Walter Mazzarri, and Francesco Calzona never improved anything in Napoli. So, it is inevitable to see Napoli be an average team again.

It's a shame that last season they performed very well, whereas this season they have to accept the fact that they have to decline very deeply and even in the standings they can't occupy at least the Champions League zone. This is a sad thing for the team that holds the status of defending champions this season.

Actually, we all know that Napoli is no longer the same as Napoli in the last season. After Spalletti left the team, the team suddenly becomes a weak team again. So, we can't expect much on this team, they have no winning mentality anymore. Even if they ever became a strong team in the past, it was just a story of Napoli in the previous season.

They have to improve it next season, they have the opportunity to perform even better. They must take advantage of the time they have to make themselves better.

I don't see this team to improve their performance in the next season. I think everything will remain the same as long as Napoli fails to hire a proper coach. So far, Napoli only hired average coaches, I am not really surprised if Napoli can't play better. I even think the next season may be a worse season  for Napoli if Osimhen and other hey players leaving Napoli.

From the beginning after the change of several coaches, it was already seen that for this season there was no hope for Napoli because they were very difficult to maintain the momentum they had built.
At the moment let alone to be in the Champions League zone, for Napoli to be in the Europa League also seems impossible if the performance is always like this and they have to accept the fact that this season is the worst season for them during the last few seasons they have always done their job well.


This is clearly unfortunate even though they are one of the big forces for Serie A in this period but indeed this season after they won last season it looks like Napoli returned to their factory suit in the past few seasons where Napoli only had to legowo be in the middle standings.

De Rossi is doing a pretty good job and Mourinho must be asking himself what was going on with the team under his management.

It is not very surprising to see Juventus can't get full points against Cagliari because Juventus has dropped their performance in the last few matches. It is not so different with the last 2 seasons, they always wasted the chance of collecting full points toward the end of the season. Allegri is a typical coach who can't focus in the remaining matches in second half of the season. I don't understand why Allegri always did it, I think it is because he often gets a dismissal issue when the season is almost over. Honestly, it is very annoying to see Juventus performing very inconsistently when it is in crucial time.

I don't think Juventus will be lucky. We don't know if Roma could steal points against Bologna. Bologna is a strong team and they will try all out to catch Juventus. If Bologna can beat Roma, they have a chance to overtake Juventus position in 3rd place. However, Juventus will be safe in UCL zone, they will end the season in 4th place at least.
