Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Uruhara]

It still amazes me how Juventus losts completely from the scudetto title race this season. The Old Lady's are no longer competitive to grab significant winnings in matches and led them to record inconsistent performance and it'd really terrible. Juventus will stand up again but we're yet to speculate the time for them since they're having a rough time this season. Massimiliano Allegri is doing his best to revived the club back to winning ways, it's hard but it ought to be accomplished.

it is incredible for many reasons: 1) he didn`t have any cups to play 2) he had to focus only on the championship 3) no turnover
Only they know how they managed to ruin an entire season, I don`t understand who is to blame or who is the incompetent who caused this disaster and let`s face it, this terrible damage which has certainly compromised the next season too

Last season Juventus should have had a good season and could have been ranked 2nd if there were no points deductions. but their luck was not good enough because they lost 10 points last season. Then, at the start of this season, Juventus also received sanctions from being banned from playing in leagues other than the domestic league. And even one of their best players was banned from playing due to a doping case. So to still see Juventus currently ranked 3rd in Serie A is actually an extraordinary thing for me. Because Allegri can still make this team survive in the race for UCL tickets for the next season. And this season, Juventus also still has the opportunity to win a trophy, namely the Italian Cup. Because in the middle of this month Juventus has a final match in the Italian Cup against Atalanta.

After many points deduction make Juventus got downtrend performance last season until finish outside from Champion League and Europe League spot standing, indeed get chance for UEFA Conference League but UEFA suspend Juventus and failed participating in European competition.
In this season although Juventus performance not really quit well but almost close to reach Champion League ticket and potential winning Copa Italia trophy, lead to final round and face Atalanta next two week later seems Juventus more favorable become the winner.
Just want to see Juventus return back to Champion League next season with new format, next match against AS Roma and take three points will make more secure with top fourth position for Juventus.

Well, the reduction in points and several sanctions that Juventus faced really hit Juventus hard. But still being in the top 3 standings in Serie A can also be said to be a good achievement. And yes, hopefully next season we will see Juventus in the Champions League with better strength. Because Juventus needs new players in the transfer market to strengthen their squad. but their current focus is to beat Roma and maintain their position in 3rd place safely. And only then think about how to beat Atalanta in the Italian Cup Final.

Roma have been hit hard by Leverkusen in the Europa League. From now on I don't think they will be able to make a comeback either. It is very difficult to do after losing by 2-0 home.

Roma had better concentrate on keeping themselves in top five at this point. They are really under the threat by Atalanta as the gap is two points and Atalanta have a missing game to play too. If Roma can't qualify for the Champions League despite the extra quota the Serie A has gained, it would be devastating for them. De Rossi's future might be ambiguous in that case. Capturing a Champions League spot is very important to have more chance to extend his contract.

Now, Monza, difficult. A five-game losing streak can shatter a team's spirit. Genoa is closing in, putting pressure on. I always believe in comebacks. Each team, even the best, has losses. Monza may find their fire here, turning the season around. I want to see that fight, that underdog spirit that wins unexpected bouts.

Lazio will also take this match as a good opportunity for them to get full points at home to Monza. Because so far Lazio is starting to look better so it won't be that difficult for Lazio to win at home to Monza even though Lazio will not underestimate opponents like Monza who can sometimes provide unexpected surprises in home matches. However, Lazio certainly really wants to win that match because Lazio is struggling to get into the top five positions this season so that every match against opponents that are not that difficult will continue to be utilized quite well by Lazio.

So far I have begun to doubt De Rossi ability to handle the pressure of Roma against strong teams, because  I saw some of the bad results Roma get when facing stronger teams in the league at the moment, so I think it will be very difficult for Roma to maintain 5th place in the Serie A standings later, the defeat to Leverkusen will certainly test how much mentality Roma have to be able to rise in the next match,  At the moment of course Roma are in a bad state after losing 2-0 from Leverkusen, so I think facing Juventus of course Roma have a very big burden on their shoulders to be able to maintain the chance of playing in the Champions League next season.

Atlanta this season began to show a pretty good performance, after winning against Liverpool, Atlanta's performance continued to improve and stable in avoiding defeat in each of their matches, so it seems that compared to Roma of course Atlanta has a better chance of being able to end the season in the Champions League zone at the end of this season apart from the rest of their matches which are also easier than Roma.

Some big matches, not only Roma vs Juventus next several days because these matches will contribute to decide what clubs will get fourth and fifth positions in Serie A when this season ends.

Exactly with all the remaining combinations, if Juventus will win in Rome (very hard to manage with the actual strength of the team) it will be mathematically qualified for the Champion League even if they will lose the 3 remaining games.

If they will lose the game, they will need to make 6 points in the remaining 3 game considering the worse possible combination for them.

[bastisisca]

If I remember correctly, Udinese's opponent is Napoli. How can you be so sure that he will win this match? I think they will lose the match and focus on their remaining matches. If they are strong enough to beat other teams in the remaining matches, they can escape the relegation zone. Every team wants to move away from that region, but very few teams can achieve this. There are many teams at risk of relegation right now and Udinese is one of them.

keep an eye on Udinese`s matches in these last few days, being close to Serie B they need to win and therefore they will be particularly aggressive, I don`t bet on matches with Udinese in play, they become very difficult to predict therefore there is a high risk of making a mistake (from the next week)

You know, this is going to be a very important match for Juventus and Roma both. Actually, the current performance of Juventus has not been that good.

At the same time, Roma has to win this match. you know this match is a test for De Rossi, At least if they want to stay in the top five positions of the table. Actually cannot afford to lose any more matches or even drop points in my opinion if they want to stay in the fifth position. Because Giallorossi are already under pressure by the team that is right below them. I think that they should try to do well in the Italian league. Because they are already in a big deficit in the Europa League.

They have already lost the first leg against Leverkusen in the Europa League. So I think they will be able to probably finish in the fifth position if they can perform well consistently. And that is where they have to win this match against Juventus.

The point is not that Bayer now have a two-goal advantage, but that they are playing head and shoulders above. I think that in Leverkusen in the second game if Roma chooses to play openly, the score will be something like 4-1 in favor of Bayer.
Now the most interesting thing is that if Roma cannot retain 5th place and Atalanta displaces it, then we will see a paradoxical and funny fact: despite the fact that after the dismissal of Mourinho, Roma showed a phenomenal improvement in results, it will end the season worse than under Mourinho (6th place + Europa League final)

Roma should be able win Juventus who is not in a good form. I don't see any threat from Juventus on Roma, because Roma is more confident than Juventus when in the pitch. Roma might have performed poorly in Europa but that does not mean that they will not be able to bei g out their best in order for them to win the match.

On the other hand, Juventus is unpredictable due to their inconsistencies and this is not giving me a y confidence in them after they lost hope in the title race to Inter. It would have been lovely if Juventus can come up with their wonderful performance to make the match a tough one.

Udinese and Napoli at this moment are atleast in a bad trend but indeed, Udinese position is in a bad position in the Serie A standings compared to Napoli. While for Napoli, although at thismoment Napoli is also in a bad trend butyes,at least Napoli is still in the "top line" of the standings . But,considering Udinese still has a chance to get out of the relegation zone because there is still a close points gap with the three teams above, then with that factor it is possible that Udinese will really play with betterefforts too. But indeed, eventhough Udinese will make their best efforts but there is still no guarantee for Udinese to be able to beat Napoli.

[rendravolt]

The match between Monza vs Lazio will start tomorrow. Those who can do better in this match will win this match. If the players of Lazio team do not perform well, they will not win in this match. Lazio team has performed very well in the previous matches.  Did. But Monza team could not do well in previous matches due to which they are far behind Lazio team. Hopefully the players of both teams will try to play very well and the team players who can do well will win this match.

To be honest, in general we already know this will be an advantage for Lazio to win and even though Lazio initially experienced difficulties, I am sure they will still win even if only by a narrow score. We know that Lazio's defense is something they can be proud of and Monza will definitely find it very difficult to score goals.

What's more, even if Lazio waste the opportunity and fail to win, they only need to achieve a draw rather than conceding in the final minute. Despite all that, I still hope to see Lazio win again and compete with other teams in the standings considering they don't have much time.

Bologna vs Torino

#Torino (3-4-1-2): Milinkovic-Savic; Vojvoda, Buongiorno, Masina; Bellanova, Ricci, Ilic, Rodriguez; Vlasic; Sanabria, Zapata
#Bologna (4-1-4-1): Skorupski; Posch, Lucumi, Calafiori, Kristiansen; Freuler; Ndoye, Fabbian, Aebischer, Saelemaekers; Zirkzee

Juventus has not been playing well at all currently. I think Bologna should be able to take advantage of that. They have a rather easy match going against to Torino you know. I said this is going to be easy because the performance from Torino has not been good in the last five matches. They only have one win in the last five matches and in the last four matches, they do not have a single win. That's why Bologna should look at this and take this as a chance for them to get ahead of Juventus drops points in the next match. Let’s see what happens. But I believe there are a lot of chances for different teams to finish in different positions this season from where they are right now.

[QueenVera]

Bologna is indeed a team to be reckoned with in Serie A this season. The reason is that if you look at the Serie A standings, Bologna is far ahead of Torino. However, it cannot be concluded that Bologna is stronger than Torino. Because if you look at Bologna's performance in the last few matches, the results can be said to be less than satisfactory for a team like Bologna. The reason is that from the last 5 matches Bologna in Serie A was only able to win 2 matches. Then 3 matches ended in a draw. Even though in these 3 matches the opponents Bologna faced could be said to be relatively weak teams (Udinese, Frosinone and Monza). Therefore, in the match against Torino, I am a little hesitant to bet on Bologna.

Apart from that, if you look at Torino's performance in Serie A. Of the last 5 matches they played, Torino was only able to win 1, draw 2 times and lose 2 times. However, even though Torino was only able to achieve 1 win from their last 5 matches, what was surprising was that Torino was able to hold Juventus to a draw. So the point is that Torino cannot be underestimated by Bologna either. The reason is that Torino could have played more fiercely in this match. And after I saw the records from Bologna and Torino. I think this match will end in a draw. So for that reason, I personally will only bet on guessed scores.

The game between Roma and Bologna where the former team between the time of Rossi being added to the squad up until now have made useful difference in their approach to games. There's definitely improvement, although they're not at perfect spots on the league table but they still are a promising team who seem to have a greater advantage over their opponent. Bologna on the other hand are also improved in their performances and they've done their best to stay put in performing greatly till the last of the season.
 
 Thankfully the game favored just one of the teams who did their best to stand out from the start to the finish. Bologna did well to secure the 3points to themselves away from home and the outcome therefore proves how set they are to keep good points especially in the last games left for the season. Roma disappointed a lot as they were the host but sadly that advantage wasn't relevant.

 This gives them an extra zeal this weekend when they meet Torino. Bologna will be the host and so added to their last league victory, the home advantage will definitely work for them also being that their opponent aren't much of goal scorers this season. Between both teams, I'd say that Bologna has more ability and capacity to be victorious.

 Torino themselves have to fight through the game to get victory and it'll definitely come in difficult for them. The outcome of the game will also help them out up their face when they eventually face Inter Milan before the season is wrapped up. Congratulations ahead to the victorious team.

Bologna dont have any chance of winning Torino for my opinion because Torino will use the  the pressure of their  last defeat against bologna, so even though they win against Torino or draw they will still not go to the UCL  if its is their main target or focus at this main point, because Juventus  will have the advantage of using Roma injury crisis to win the match against Roma. even though they lose to Roma  and Bologna enter third position they can still past Milan in the table.

Torino  0 vs 0 Bologna

In this match, for some reason I think Bologna didn't play that optimally. Moreover, seems quite boring. They weren't aggressive enough and even their ball play was just so-so. Since then, there have been no shots on target that threaten each opponent's defense. Really, this is boring.

Meanwhile, Bologna actually needs to win this match. But the fact is different. They are again, a draw. Whereas, they have to try to stay in 4th position. However, this is quite risky because the result is another draw. The draw result was even goalless, making Bologna increasingly have a series of disappointing draws.

[ginsan]

Exactly with all the remaining combinations, if Juventus will win in Rome (very hard to manage with the actual strength of the team) it will be mathematically qualified for the Champion League even if they will lose the 3 remaining games.

If they will lose the game, they will need to make 6 points in the remaining 3 game considering the worse possible combination for them.

Juventus is facing a tough opponent this week because in this match Juventus must win the match in order to maintain their ranking to remain in 3rd position. Roma is not a weak team, especially as they are also aiming for 3 points in order to stay close to Bologna. This match will be difficult to predict because Juventus in their last 3 matches ended in a draw so there is pressure for them to return to winning ways this week. However, in this match, Roma plays at home, they automatically have the confidence to secure 3 points at the Stadium Olimpico.

I know this is a quite crucial match considering that Juventus is only 1 point ahead of the team below it. So Juventus must win this match because if they lose automatically next week Bologna has a big chance to overtake Juventus. From the Roma side where they are 5 points behind Bologna and the match against Juventus is a big opportunity for De Rossi squad to reduce the difference in points with Bologna. Bologna is not safe in 4th position and Juventus is also not safe in 3rd position because these two teams have a fairly close point difference. I want to see Roma win the match against Juventus because if Roma win then the competition for tickets to the Champions League will be even more exciting.

They have already lost the first leg against Leverkusen in the Europa League. So I think they will be able to probably finish in the fifth position if they can perform well consistently. And that is where they have to win this match against Juventus.

 
Knowing that AS Roma have completely lost hope in the Europa League, that will make them focus more in serie A, which many will say is a possibility for Juventus to win the game, but I don't think AS Roma will like that to happen, because if it is how they want it, they will like to make it up to the 4th in the table because they are 5 points below Bologna, so if they really win their game against Juventus, then I think it will be easy for them to drop Bologna and make it to their position, which is the 4th in the table.

But on the other hand, you will see that Juventus might also not allow that to happen because they also need more points to not drop down for Bologna. But if I look deep, I will see that AS Roma are playing a home game, which gives them a high chance to win. At the same time, Bologna had a draw on their game today, so it will be even more amazing if AS Roma win that game, and I know they will try their best.

Bologna couldn’t get the results they need but the one point is not also important for them because they are now a bit clearer in the fourth position and comfortably five points ahead of Roma. I think Bologna will play Champions League next season because their last five matches are against Napoli, Juventus, and Genoa; although they look tough, but if we consider the respective forms of these teams, there are slight hopes for them to get some points in the games because Roma is not also sure of winning all their matches.
