Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Weawant]

Bologna indeed surprised everyone yesterday when they went to Napoli and snatched the three points from them. Napoli had all the chances to cancel those two early goals including being awarded a penalty which Matteo Politano missed, unfortunately they could not and this might just cost them the European Conference League spot that they were contesting with Lazio who just need a win in their remaining three matches to secure it. Today Lazio plays Empoli who also desperately need to win the match to evade relegation. Empoli may be able to hold Lazio to a draw but Lazio will likely get a winning against Sassuolo to qualify while Napoli have nothing to show for the season.

Napoli did messed up their chances els that game would have been such that they would have gotten a draw at least from it but then they  lost the game sadly to a team they would have ordinarily won if they were in the kind of form they were last season when they won the league title although it was them winning the league title for the first time after a very long while  and all were hoping they will be able to replicate similar form by this season.

Lazi actually won the game against empoli by two goals a d so they have got the chance of the possibilities of getting to qualify for the conference league and I doubt if Napoli will be able to still maintain the chase or they are willing to accept their fate of ending the season without a trophy, empoli may actually get relegated because I don't know how well they will be able to win the rest of their games to be able to  make it out of relegation this season because they are actually not looking like they are going to be able to get the points they needed to exit the relegation from their remaining games already.

Sassuolo isn't a team that can get to stop Lazio even in their todays fixture they were leading but eventually list the game and it's really a show of weakness although they were playing from away but then I still doubt if they will be able to get ahead of Lazio in their next fixture because going by Lazios performance today, they are definitely not going to in any way do any less when they get to meet sassuolo.

I do not know what to expect from Napoli anymore. I thought they were at least going to get one point from this match. But they lost the match. it was really incredible to say that they actually conceded two goals in the first 12 minutes of the match. And even though they were trying to control the possession of the ball which they were actually successful in doing, they were unable to score any goals. The performance from them has definitely been pretty upsetting for the Napoli fans. I hope that next season they will be able to improve their performance. But that is also hard to expect because I am pretty certain that Osimhen is going to leave Napoli. He wanted to leave before the start of this season. But Napoli was able to keep him in the squad but I do not think they will be able to keep him any longer.

Bologna now found themselves in the top 3 accompanied with outstanding results and game stats. It's good good news to see Bologna in the UEFA Champions League next season. All credits goes to Thiago Motta Santon Olivares. He's the main pillar that elevated the performance of Bologna this season and they've been in their best form since with the build-up game pattern coming from their headcoach. Also the players have been hunger for good results and they don't hold back from doing the very best.

If Juventus can really lose at home to Salernitana, then it is quite clear that third place will belong to Bologna, because up to this moment Juventus has still not scored a goal and is still one goal behind Salernitana. It is quite surprising that Juventus could actually lose at home to the bottom team in the Serie A table this season because it would reflect that Juventus' strength has completely disappeared, making Bologna able to take third place at the end of this season.

Bologna are showing impressive performances and nearly achieved a successful season but challenge for Bologna in the summer transfer season will be very big. Will they manage to keep their head coach Motta, and their main players in their clubs?

It will be biggest tasks for Bologna in the summer transfer season because human is most valuable resource and losing a head coach and some main players, will put Bologna in big troubles next season. They can quickly disappear from top four or top six of Serie A next season if they won't succeed in their human resource management and development in the summer.

People think the result we see from Bologna and the points they got so far is just because of the good performance from Bologna and they have impressive performance during this season.
But I disagree. I think the performance of Bologna was not bad at all but the main reason for them to be in the top side of the Serie A and be in the next Champions League is mostly because of the other teams like Juventus and giving them the chance. Otherwise, we could see Juventus racing with Inter Milan for the title.

[Palakka]

Before the match started Juventus vs Salernitana the odds that Turin had were 1.13 and now they are one goal behind, really if Juventus lose then their performance at the end of the season is bad, just look at the last 4x matches in the series but now want to lose to the bottom team?
I expect a comeback in the second half at least this will not be hard for Juventus should be.

I don't know what is in the mind of the bookies at this time who continue to make Juventus as favorites, if today Salernitana is able to continue to maintain their lead then it is certain that those who hold Salernitana win the day will get a lot of money because of their bets, so far Juventus is still in the top 4 but still it does not guarantee they can win against weak teams,  Of course we still remember some of Juventus previous games which had to get negative results from small teams and most likely Juventus will continue that negative trend today against Salernitana.

Currently Juventus is ranked 3rd in the Serie A standings and their position is increasingly threatened if they are unable to turn things around in the remaining time of the current match, if Juventus lose then their position will drop to rank 4 and worse, Atlanta who are currently in 5th position have the potential to make Juventus drop to a lower position because Atlanta has two matches that have not been played,  So if it continues to achieve negative results in the remaining matches of the season, it is very likely that Juventus will also be thrown out of the Champions League zone next season.

I guess today's game against Salernitana is an embarrassment for Juventus... They were very lucky to get a goal in the last minutes... It's funny that the next games will be against Atalanta and Bologna, who are now serious competitors in the standings... Juventus must not lose in these matches to stay in the UCL zone...

Because Salernitana is a mediocre team that has a lot of defeats, only Juventus has difficulty against this team, obviously I saw that Juventus' game was not so interesting even though there were many chances but it did not become a goal even though in the end Rabiot equalized in the final minute even though after that Juventus had the opportunity to become a goal but failed again as well as Salernitana.
At least Juventus still have a chance to get into the Champions League as Serie A puts its team to go with 5 teams to the UCL.

I dont want to see this Juventus team anymore this season. They are awful i dont know how they are in the top 5 this season when they cannot beat team that has been relegated weeks ago. Hopefully the league finishes so that i dont have to watch them anymore. They need to change everything in their team starting with the coach.

[Bananington]

Atalanta vs AS Roma

Roma need to win to at least be able to make qualification for the Europa next season, because since Atalanta are in the finals of the Europa, if they win the competition, they get automatic qualification. Roma were very good this season right after the new coach took over, and next season looks very promising for them. Roma do not have any reason to loose this game because since Atalanta are in the finals of the Europa the first time in their history, they will be very interested in resting players for that game against Leverkusen.

[Josefjix]

Milan, on the other hand, were rained with goals at home against Cagliari.There is not much they can do in the league anymore.They could have played with a reserve team against Cagliari because Cagliari still has the potential to be relegated.

Seria A is a tough league, I didn't rate them from the startings. Seria A matches are hanging with unbalance results when it comes to elite and average clubs.  AC Milan failed to meet up with Inter Milan for the scudetto and this another season to go home trohpyless. Milan have always done their part to equalized their rival but it was challenging for them. AC Milan thrashed Cagliari 5-1 with full stellar performance. This was supposed to be a game where the Rissoneri rests players but they didn't and they ensure the thrash their opponents without difficulty.

Bro this is Serie A we can see many surprises especially from teams that are already in a safe position, we know Juventus just want to get a ticket to the Champions League and they only need 3 more points to secure it so don't be surprised if they only draw against weak teams. Currently their competitor is AS Roma and Roma need 7 points to catch Juventus meaning AS Roma must win all the remaining matches and one thing we have to remember AS Roma efforts will be in vain if Juventus win one more match.

By the way AS Roma just played their 36th match against Atalanta. As the home team I don't know whether Atalanta will miss this match but since 10 minutes into this match I can see Atalanta playing aggressively meaning Atalanta is trying to get points whether it is 1 point or even 3 points. We know Atalanta is already in the safe zone but I suspect Atalanta wants to maintain their performance before the final match.

[rendravolt]

Napoli are very chaotic and maybe this is a bad end to the season for them considering the last 5 matches without ever producing a single win. Napoli had to submit again to Bologna and made Napoli even worse in 8th position with 51 points. I think they can fix this all before the season ends but unfortunately Napoli are still shackled by their previous results and it is very difficult to recover.

Meanwhile for Bologna, this is an important additional 3 points considering that they were finally able to shift the position of Juventus who experienced similar bad results and I think Bologna will really finish in 3rd position this time. They will definitely secure a place in the champions league and Thiago Motta must be very proud of his players' performance so far.

For Napoli this was also an important match, now after this defeat it will not be a problem for Fiorentina to beat them, since Fiorentina have played two fewer matches, so Napoli will almost certainly be left without Euro cups next season. Now in the end of the season, we can appreciate how strong Spalletti's influence was on the team, and now De Laurentiis can assess the situation and admit that he made a mistake.

Exactly, we can see the difference in the quality of coaches from Spalletti to the other coaches chosen by club management this season. Everything feels like a waste, even though not a single player has left Spalletti's golden squad and in fact Napoli can only be strong when they are in the hands of the right person like Spalletti.

Next season will definitely be a hunt for a new coach for Napoli and the current coach is clearly very far from expectations. There are still so many good and experienced coaches available, it's just a matter of how the Napoli owner negotiates and brings Napoli to the peak of its glory again.

Atalanta vs AS Roma

It is impossible for AS Roma to be as weak as it is now. 2-0 in a matter of 2 minutes from the first goal to the second goal while the match had not yet reached 30 minutes and the only player who scored the goal was De Ketelaere.
Atalanta may show observers that they are ready to face the European League Final match against the owners of the 2023/202 Bundesliga title, Bayer Leverkusen.
I hope AS Roma can score a goal to reduce the goal gap. If you can, my over bet is safe.

From the way the first half ended Atalanta is in their best form and they should ha e scored more goals than the two goals that they scored but Roma goalkeeper made it impossible for them. Roma look very weak to Atalanta and with the current Atalanta that I saw their performance tonight, I don't think that Roma will be able to draw or win this match.

The second half might be in favor of Roma, but I don't see them doing anything surprising because Atalanta is looking unstoppable. De Rossi fate is in a test right now because he is in a tough seat right now. Atalanta might be able to win Leverkusen from the way they are performing tonight.

After De Rossi took over as coach, Roma managed to consistently perform well in some matches. But in recent times we have not seen good performances from Roma. The team failed to win in the last two matches. Roma players failed to perform well against Leverkusen in the semi-finals of the Europa League. And as usual Roma team is not able to play well against Atalanta in today's match.

Atalanta is leading 2-0 at the end of the first half. Atalanta's players are dominating the home matches. In the first half we only saw attacks from Atalanta's players. Roma's players could not make any strong attacks.
If they lose this match, there will be no chance for Roma to occupy the fifth place in the table. The Roma team will have to play on the Europe League platform in the next season as well.

Even though Juventus is still in the top five, but we seem to agree that Juventus is the worst team this season in Serie A. Because basically, Juventus is not a mediocre team and the penalty for playing in the European League also makes Juventus this season only focus on playing in the domestic league but still, Juventus is still completely failed and bad in Serie A. Considering bad results like this, it is possible that in the next two Serie A matches Juventus will lose. Because after all, Atalanta and Bologna at this moment are still in good performance and trend and as such, it looks like Juventus doesn't have a good chance for the next two matches. What's more, Juventus also has to prepare its best squad for play in the Coppa Italia final, but it seems that at this moment Juventus really cannot hope, because the instability in performance is really difficult for them to overcome.

[coinlocket$]

another poor result for Juventus who failed to beat the last team in the standings and were even about to lose.
Qualification for the next cup is still at risk even if it is very close, and this situation with the team that has completely abandoned the coach is not so simple, they must hope for favorable results from the other teams.

Next week there will be the Italian Cup final against Atalanta and it will be a massacre if they don't go onto the pitch with the right mentality.

[bering]

It just only Salernitana the team who only collect 2 wins from 36 matches even almost all of the teams in Serie A can beat them and they have already to be relegated to Serie B early this season but i don't get it why Juventus seems hard struggling to gets the winning results from that team today even they almost be lost from this match but luckily Rabiot can equalized the scored and 5 consecutive draw in Serie A seems Juventus has lost their motivation to win and i think this is could be big evaluation for Juventus and some of fans have already to lost their patience and now they want Allegri out

For other match currently still on going between Atalanta vs Roma after conceded 2 goals in the first half gradually Roma performance is better in the second half but Atalanta still control the game and still attempts to equalized and the current scores 2-1 however if this scores hasn't change and Atalanta win then they can successfully to wided their gap points with Roma and Atalanta chances to secured last spot of Champion League will be very wide open moreover Atalanta still have 1 postponed match against Fiorentina next month

Juventus condition keeps getting worse every week and once again they had a bad result because not getting a 3 point from a team at the bottom of the table shows how poor they have become, they are surely dropping from the 4th position to gecomesn to 5th place if Atalanta end up defeating Roma tonight and wins their game in hand and Juventus drops more points in their next games which they are going to do with the level of poor form they found themselves right now. The Juventus players needs to be motivated otherwise I don't see them stepping up their game this season and it will see them losing all the points they gather and playing with this kind of poor performance against Atalanta in the cup finals, we will see nothing but bleeding cause the Atalanta team will ensure they use goals to embarrass the Juventus team before going face Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League finals.
