Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[rendravolt]

This week there will be two decisive matches for Roma, one of which must complete the second leg against Leverkusen in the European league and after that they still have to face Atalanta in the fight for a place in next season's champions league. It is clear that Roma's situation is so pressing with this tough schedule that they have to play totally without reducing anything.

De Rossi has done well for the rest of the season after replacing Mourinho and could even put Roma in contention for European competition. If it weren't for De Rossi, Roma would definitely have difficulty being in their current position. I still believe De Rossi will open a wide path for a more competitive journey for Roma in the future.

I am pretty sure that they are going to lose the Leverkusen game anyway, they should not really care about that game all that much because they are not going to go there at all. I am not sure about the champions league though? Is it because the cup game or something?

I think they are fighting for the europa league and not champions leage, no? If that is the case then they should definitely play their hearts out because Atalanta will definitely do that, while Atalanta also has their own game to play against Marseille as well so both teams are in semi-similar situations if you ask me and mean a lot to win that much money from UCL next season. There is like 30 million euros or so to be made from being in the group stages of UCL so both teams would benefit highly from that kind of money.

If Roma lose, I think they will definitely get it and there is no room for Roma to be able to reverse the aggregate against Leverkusen. It is very difficult to face a very strong team in all competitions and therefore it would be best if it could not be forced then Roma should think about being able to shift Atalana's position in the standings.

That is much more important and let Atalanta focus on both and Roma can take the opportunity to win when Atalanta's players are tired after returning from the European league. I'm curious considering the situation is so similar that we will be given an unexpected surprise to get a place in the champions league at the end of the season.

[Ayers]

I think with the last two draws they have wasted the chance to qualify for the Champons League. Their last chance is definitely to win 3/3 remaining games, but look at Atalanta and how they have a game in hand. It is a very complicated situation for them. It probably comes down to the game against Atalanta and I doubt that Atalanta will give that one away.

Who knows how it will be looking two weeks from now, but the craziest scenario would be that Juventus loses games and then Bologna plays against them on May 19th. That would be a tough end of the season for all the teams fighting for something.

Roma which was doing good job in last few weeks suddenly having decline in performance with their two draws are surely going to hurt their cause for the qualification of the Champions League which could be big setback for them because we have good improvement in Atlanta performance even they are involved in three competitions but still things are going favourable for them which is going to have big impact on their end of this season.

We have few interesting matches and things which can happen in league table at the end even most chances we will stay with these teams for the top spots with just Roma and Atlanta are having fight for the top fifth spot with most chances Atlanta going to have better chance but still we can expect good, interesting matches which will bring good changes in league table.

I do not think Roma actually has any chance to finish in a position where they will be able to compete in the Champions League competition in the next season. But it is possible for them to finish in the fifth position and compete in the Europa League. Roma does have a match against Atalanta and if they lose that match, they will probably not be able to finish in the fifth position as well. It is looking tough for them. But I believe they should be able to finish in the fifth position. The problem is they have to think about the Europa League competition as well. So that might be a problem for them, to think about both competitions at the same time.

Roma has two options to get into the Champions League: 1.) Win the Europa League 2.) Take 5th place in Serie A. While both options look unlikely, the second option is much more realistic. Therefore, I agree that Roma needs to choose one thing and the best choice is to save maximum energy for the game with Atalanta.
By the way, an interesting option is if Atalanta wins the Europa League and Roma takes 5th place in Serie A, then there will be 6 Italian teams in the Champions League next season.

[budi691]

Roma can still qualify for any of the European competitions including the Champions League but it will depend on the ability of the club to win all its games and other top teams losing their games. They will keep gunning for a European ticket until the end of the season. If they they fail, however, next season will be a great opportunity for De Rossi to prove his worth.

It only takes 4 points if As Roma wants to enter the Champions League and fully hopes that Bologna will lose so that Roma can catch up on points. If you look at As Roma's game, how do they want to enter the Champions League when in every match they get a draw in their last 2 matches?  , plus having to focus on Leverkusen's match in the Europa Cup is very confusing for As Roma in a situation like this.

It could be that Roma will focus more on the domestic league rather than having to chase a 0-2 aggregate against Leverkusen in the Europa League considering that the opportunity to beat Leverkusen at home looks more difficult, because the opportunity to play in the Champions League next season is more open.
However, the condition is that Roma must be able to wipe out the remaining 3 matches with a win, and most importantly this week they must be able to beat Atalanta at home and hope that Bologna loses to Napoli and Juventus.
It is a very tough mission for Roma to reach 4th place in the final standings, because it must be determined by themselves and other teams to be able to achieve it.
However, if this cannot be achieved at the end of the season and only plays in the Europa League next season, then this will be an extraordinary achievement for coach De Rossi considering that De Rossi became Roma coach starting mid-season.

[piebeyb]

I do not think Roma actually has any chance to finish in a position where they will be able to compete in the Champions League competition in the next season. But it is possible for them to finish in the fifth position and compete in the Europa League. Roma does have a match against Atalanta and if they lose that match, they will probably not be able to finish in the fifth position as well. It is looking tough for them. But I believe they should be able to finish in the fifth position. The problem is they have to think about the Europa League competition as well. So that might be a problem for them, to think about both competitions at the same time.

That will be a challenge for De Rossi but it seems that As Roma will play as hard as possible to win in the UEL or in the domestic league against Atalanta because winning those two matches is enough to ensure they are not a weak team, but in my opinion Roma should be more focused on finishing in 5th position and beating Atalanta compared to having to try to beat Leverkusen which of course will drain their energy, because I think As Roma at least has a chance to win against Atalanta.

It's difficult to be a team that has to catch up on two important matches, but De Rossi ensures that As Roma will play as hard as possible in these two matches to be able to prove that they are a strong team, but even though As Roma will fail in the UEL and also not finish in fifth position, De Rossi must continue to coach As Roma next season because it takes time for De Rossi to be able to make As Roma perform even better next season, especially so far since De Rossi has been in charge of As Roma, he has performed with good results compared to when with Mourinho. As Roma can definitely compete next season better than this season.

By the way, an interesting option is if Atalanta wins the Europa League and Roma takes 5th place in Serie A, then there will be 6 Italian teams in the Champions League next season.

The 2 options they currently have are both not easy options, because in the European League they have to catch up 2 goals down first before they can turn things around, and chasing 2 goals from a strong club like Leverkusen is not an easy thing for them to do. I think they will also lose again in this match in the second leg and I see only a small chance that they have now.

Meanwhile in Serie A, they have the same points as Atalanta, but Atalanta has 1 match more than them. If Atalanta can secure all the matches they have then they will be determined to finish in 5th position in the standings. As Roma still depends on the results of other clubs' matches to enable them to finish in a position that will take them to the Champions League. I think they really need luck so they can be in the Champions League next season. Because the scenario they currently have is very difficult to realize.

It's quite difficult for Roma indeed, of these two options I don't think there is a possible option for Roma. To be able to turn things around against Leverkusen and qualify for the final I think is impossible, whereas to compete for 5th place with Atalanta, you don't just have to beat Atalanta in match this weekend but Roma also have to wait for Talanta to make a few mistakes in the next 2 remaining matches for Roma to take over 5th position, that is really a very burdensome thing.

This weekend's match against Atalanta will also not be easy for Roma because Atalanta, who is playing at home, has much greater motivation and also the performance/quality of the Atalanta team has recently improved drastically.

[temple]

I think with the last two draws they have wasted the chance to qualify for the Champons League. Their last chance is definitely to win 3/3 remaining games, but look at Atalanta and how they have a game in hand. It is a very complicated situation for them.

Well it would be a setback for any of the teams fighting for the Champions League qualification in the last few weeks. Napoli and Lazio would have liked to play in the Champions League obviously, but there is now quite a good number of teams that have the potential to qualify for it. Whether Bologna can repeat such a season remains to be seen, but then there are still around 8 teams that are good enough to make the qualification a fair goal for next season.

I believe that Inter's dominance won't be broken anytime soon. Maybe Juventus Turin can make a comeback, but they don't play consistently enough. One problem will be that they can't finance huge transfers I think, but they don't have a top team at the moment. I am not a fan of Vlahovic. If they want to compete with the best, Vlahovic isn't good enough in my opinion, but probably the only option they can stem financially.

[Velvet78]

The most interesting thing is going to be seeing Bologna in the Champions League next season. I assume they wouldn't mess up on the last three weeks.  

I have checked their Champions League history. I have seen they were a part of this tournament in 1960s the last time. The name of the tournament wasn't even "Champions League" those times.    Therefore it is going to be a really meaningful success for Bologna. But can they do well in the Champions League? Their current squad doesn't look very promising to progress more. However the tournament format is also going to change so let's see what they can do.

[Texac]

Atalanta vs Roma could be the big match this week, where both teams are trying to get tickets to the Champions League, but the chance of this match ending in a draw is wide open, or Atalanta winning three points because the home match will give Atalanta an advantage.
Atalanta seems to have had better results in the last few matches than Roma, but we can see that Atalanta is facing a relatively weak team so they can win three times in a row, but Roma failed to beat Atalanta in the first meeting this season so the match at Atalanta's home ground will be even more difficult for Roma to defeat its opponent.

Currently Atalanta and Roma have the same points in Serie A, but due to the greater goal difference, Atalanta is currently ranked higher than Roma. So this match will be very decisive for both teams, to have a greater chance of getting tickets to compete in the UCL. At Atalanta and Roma's first meeting this season, it was true that the match ended in a draw (1-1), at that time Roma was the host. However, at this meeting, Atalanta will be the host, which will certainly be more profitable for Atalanta. So the Roma players will definitely have to fight extra hard in this match, because if they lose or draw in this match, Roma's path to getting a ticket to the UCL will definitely be even more difficult.

However, if you look at the performance of Roma, currently coached by De Rossi, I think Roma will provide different resistance to Atalanta. The reason is, after De Rossi coached Roma, the performance of his players improved very rapidly. Apart from that, when Roma played against Atalanta in the previous meeting, as far as I remember, Roma was still under the guidance of Mourinho. And under Mourinho, Roma's performance was not good so it was natural that they were held to a draw by Atalanta. However, Roma's performance is now much better than at that time, so the possibility of Roma winning the match against Atalanta is also very big in this match.

In my opinion, the match is probably going to end in a draw. Because I can assume Atalanta is going to play very defensively in that match. Because if they get one point, it is going to be a good result for them. But Roma is definitely going to go for a win. Predicting this match is going to be very complicated. But I have to say the performance that the coach of Roma was able to produce earlier, it is not happening right now. They are not as consistent or performing as well as they were when the coach was just appointed. I think there is a high chance for Roma to not win the match. And if they for some reason, lose the match, which is definitely possible, they might not end up participating in the Europa League. De Rossi is good but probably he was not ready to be the coach of Roma.

The most interesting thing is going to be seeing Bologna in the Champions League next season. I assume they wouldn't mess up on the last three weeks.  

I have checked their Champions League history. I have seen they were a part of this tournament in 1960s the last time.

Their current squad doesn't look very promising to progress more. However the tournament format is also going to change so let's see what they can do.

If Bologna do not extend Thiago Motta's contract or perhaps, Thiago Motta will accept the offer of another team then I believe Thiago Motta's departure will have a bad impact on Bologna next season. Because after all, Thiago Motta's own contract expires at the end of this season and also, based on rumors circulating at least Thiago Motta is also targeted by other teams such as Juventus to replace Allegri's coaching chair. If that happens, then I'm sure next season Bologna will experience not good results because at least, Bologna's success has good performance and results this season because of Thiago Motta's success as a successful head coach for Bologna this season in Serie A.

Even though Bologna is ready to extend Motta contract, Motta will definitely start considering coaching another club. Not only Juventus has been linked with Motta, there is AC Milan who are waiting for confirmation from Porto coach Sergio Conceicao. If Porto is not willing to let Conceicao go, then the next Milan target is Motta.

[uswa56]

I do not think Roma actually has any chance to finish in a position where they will be able to compete in the Champions League competition in the next season. But it is possible for them to finish in the fifth position and compete in the Europa League. Roma does have a match against Atalanta and if they lose that match, they will probably not be able to finish in the fifth position as well. It is looking tough for them. But I believe they should be able to finish in the fifth position. The problem is they have to think about the Europa League competition as well. So that might be a problem for them, to think about both competitions at the same time.

Actually, it is very difficult for Roma to be able to compete in the Champions League next season, but the possibility is still there if Atalanta loses two matches so Roma can take advantage of it, but that is a bit impossible if we look at Atalanta at the moment they are very comfortable playing with wins, so I I think that this season As Roma will not finish in the top five and if we look at the European leagues there is no chance there. Leverkusen will not give Roma a chance to win because they are targeting a team that has never lost this season.
With what happened at the end of this season for Atalanta and Roma I don't think Roma has any place to finish in the top five.

I'm not sure, but as far as I know, the top 5 teams in the Italian league next year will play in the Champions League. That's why fifth place is also very important for the Champions League rankings. Roma could be fifth, but to be honest, their situation is very difficult. If Atalanta wins its missing match, it will be 3 points ahead of Rome. They currently have the same points, but Atalanta has played one match less. I think we need to seriously talk about the possibility of Roma finishing the league in sixth place.

[Akbarkoe]

Roma can still qualify for any of the European competitions including the Champions League but it will depend on the ability of the club to win all its games and other top teams losing their games. They will keep gunning for a European ticket until the end of the season. If they they fail, however, next season will be a great opportunity for De Rossi to prove his worth.

It only takes 4 points if As Roma wants to enter the Champions League and fully hopes that Bologna will lose so that Roma can catch up on points. If you look at As Roma's game, how do they want to enter the Champions League when in every match they get a draw in their last 2 matches?  , plus having to focus on Leverkusen's match in the Europa Cup is very confusing for As Roma in a situation like this.

Rome's current situation has actually become very unfavorable. Because in Serie A they were also moved to 6th place by Atalanta. And in the Europa League, Roma also lost in the first leg to Leverkusen with a score of 0-2. So currently the situation has become quite confusing for Rome itself. But hopes for Roma in the Europa League are also quite slim because they will find it difficult to beat Leverkusen who are superior on aggregate. And maybe in Serie A Roma also has to continue to win the remaining matches if they want to return to 5th place. And actually I heard that tickets to the UCL will increase in the coming season. So if you finish in 5th place, you might get the chance to get a ticket to UCL. And even if you don't get it, you will definitely get a European League ticket. For now Roma just have to focus on today's match in the European league against Leverkusen.

Roma's match against Leverkusen was quite detrimental, the article lost 2-0 by Leverkusen making them very difficult on aggregate 1 and in the second leg match Roma needs to get more winning goals than Leverkusen if they want to qualify for the final round.

The match against Atalanta in the following week as the determination of As Roma can qualify or not to the champions league, it will be a very interesting match, and again if it does not enter the Champion League, As Roma can pocket the Europa league, there is no disadvantageous position on As Roma in the current situation because below it is also that Lazio has a difference of 4 points, Lazio needs to win two matches if you want to be able to catch As Roma and Atallanta points who have 60 points, As Roma's chances are still quite large for both matches next season.

It is not easy to chase these four points if Atalanta and Bologna do not experience 2 defeats from the last 3 matches. AS Roma will not be able to get a UCL spot this season if luck is not on their side. Atalanta has one match that has not been played. If they have played it, the difference in points between Atalanta and AS Roma can be beaten by 3 points if Atalanta loses 1 match and draws the remaining three matches, but AS Roma must win the remaining matches.

This will be a very important match for the clubs who are fighting for each other's UCL or UEL spots. They try not to make any mistakes that cause them to regret it, so whichever club can achieve this spot, they really deserve it with quite a difficult challenge, while AS Roma also has to focus in the next match against Bayer Leverkusen.

[Palakka]

Roma's match against Leverkusen was quite detrimental, the article lost 2-0 by Leverkusen making them very difficult on aggregate 1 and in the second leg match Roma needs to get more winning goals than Leverkusen if they want to qualify for the final round.

The match against Atalanta in the following week as the determination of As Roma can qualify or not to the champions league, it will be a very interesting match, and again if it does not enter the Champion League, As Roma can pocket the Europa league, there is no disadvantageous position on As Roma in the current situation because below it is also that Lazio has a difference of 4 points, Lazio needs to win two matches if you want to be able to catch As Roma and Atallanta points who have 60 points, As Roma's chances are still quite large for both matches next season.

Today Roma will have a difficult match at home to Bayern Leverkusen, Roma defeat in the first leg certainly makes Roma journey to reach the final round and win the Europa League trophy this season very hard, not because of the aggregate 3 goals they have to chase in the second leg later, maybe if Roma againts other teams in the semifinals this season  of course maybe Roma have high hopes even though they are two goals behind in the first leg,  But unfortunately for Roma if they have to face Leverkusen this season, which even in Olympiaco they lost, especially when later playing at the BayArena, of course it is difficult for roma to just score.

In addition to facing Leverkusen today, of course Roma other difficult match is to face Atlanta next week, the match against Atlanta is certainly also not an easy match for Roma because so far Atlanta has a pretty good performance even though they have the same points at this time, Roma and Atlanta will determine who is entitled to the last Champions League ticket next season,  So Roma should be able to take advantage of the match later to be able to win, but if it fails, of course Atalanta will far leave Roma in the future especially so far Atlanta has one postponed match that they have not played.

[hyudien]

The most interesting thing is going to be seeing Bologna in the Champions League next season. I assume they wouldn't mess up on the last three weeks.  

I have checked their Champions League history. I have seen they were a part of this tournament in 1960s the last time.

Their current squad doesn't look very promising to progress more. However the tournament format is also going to change so let's see what they can do.

They must be able to ensure that in the last 3 matches they will play they will not slip up. The reason is that if they achieve bad results then maybe they won't be able to be in the Champions League next season. They are only 4 points away from AS Roma who are now in 6th place, with 3 remaining matches there is still a possibility that AS Roma will be able to catch up with them if Bologna suffers at least 2 defeats.
Assuming they will successfully compete in the Champions League next season. I hope they can perform well and be able to compete there, don't let them just be a complementary team. They have to prepare as well as possible so they can talk a lot. But before that happens, they must first focus on the last 3 matches they will play, they must focus on getting points in those matches to enable them to go to the Champions League to accompany Inter Milan and AC Milan who have confirmed that they will be there.

[rendravolt]

Because after all, Thiago Motta's own contract expires at the end of this season and also, based on rumors circulating at least Thiago Motta is also targeted by other teams such as Juventus to replace Allegri's coaching chair.

Even though Bologna is ready to extend Motta contract, Motta will definitely start considering coaching another club. Not only Juventus has been linked with Motta, there is AC Milan who are waiting for confirmation from Porto coach Sergio Conceicao. If Porto is not willing to let Conceicao go, then the next Milan target is Motta.

It will be quite a complicated round of changing coaches starting next season and of course Milan wants to get a coach who is equal in experience. The Porto coach is indeed their current target but it is possible that it will fail if Sergio Conceica still wants to stay in Portugal.

Apart from that, if Motta becomes Milan coach it will boost his career even better with the squad depth being much better than Bologna. He will also get what he wants if he chooses Milan and it all depends on whether this goes smoothly or not. If I were the owner of Milan, then I would prefer Motta to Sergio Conceica.

Frankly, I'm not very hopeful about Rome. After Leverkusen, they will go away to Atalanta. They will probably lose points there. The result of this match will be critical to determine the continuation of the league. If Atalanta wins, even Lazio has a chance to overtake Rome. They made a good breakthrough with De Rossi this year, but it will be very difficult to complete these breakthroughs. It is now the end of the league and every team will play with maximum performance.
