Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Swordsoffreedom]

It is over for Roma on their Champions League title chase...  They managed to beat Genoa by 1-0 even with 10 players but it was still not enough to keep their hopes for the last week of the season. Because Atalanta also won against Lecce. The point gap is three points maybe but head-to-head games are taken into account first. Atalanta are ahead on that too after beating Roma by 2-1 recently.

Even though there are 5 teams qualifying for the Champions League, Roma have failed on this task once again. But I hope to see them coming back stronger. Let's see whether the board will keep De Rossi for next season too.

Yes, this is a very interesting question because by firing Mourinho the management showed that they have ambitions and a desire to have better results than Mourinho gave. But DeRossi at the moment only repeated the 6th place that the club had under Mourinho and was unable to repeat the Europa League final. If Roma wants something more, then they must back it up not only by shuffling head coaches but also by buying players.

I don't think Mourinho is a bad coach at all. He is quite an experienced coach. Even then, Roma management took the tough decision of sacking Mourinho. De Rossi was appointed coach by Roma management after sacking Mourinho. Roma's overall performance has been stable since de Rossi took over. But now the performance of the team is erratic again. The team could not qualify for the finals of the Europa League. At the same time, Roma's performance in Serie A is not good.

Roma management should now realize that if they want to see consistent performances from the team, they definitely need an experienced coach as well as an experienced and strong squad. Without an experienced squad, it is not possible to maintain consistency of performance.

They was six place on the Seria Scudetto Competition with Jose Mourinho?  I don't think so, they was eight place and asides that, they saw themselves playing better good and beautiful football with Daniel De Rossi. Jose Mourinho wanted upgrade for his squad but the management failed to back him up.

Lol, I feel like you're a huge fan of Jose Mourinho but you have failed to see things the way they're supposed to be. Even Xabi Alonso faced issues like this with Bayern Leverkusen but he came back stronger this season.
I'm expecting that he will have same glory as Xabi Alonso if they're allowed to bring in quality players for the new season.

Bologna and Juventus have the same chances to stay in the Champions League zone... I can't say who is stronger in my opinion, but I'll probably favour Bologna... Although I think it could easily be a draw here, because Juventus often play away draws... It will be interesting to watch this battle... I think both teams will score today...

Even though juventus often plays draw in an away game, I have more hope on them to win today's game because I feel like juventus is in better form than Bologna. Even though we know anything can happen, my win is fully for juventus. If not for anything, juventus will like to try their possible best to see that they have more points than Bologna, even though they know that both teams will definitely qualify for the Champions League next season.
 
If I am not mistaking, Juventus have been the serie A winners since 2012 up until 2020, with a total of nine good years without allowing any other team to have a win. I am sure many of us know about that record, so they will like that even if they are not opportune to be the winner, they will be able to maintain the 3rd place in the table.

I can't describe anything in this match because Bologna and Juventus didn't have any targets because both teams have succeeded in securing tickets to the Champions League next season this means that whatever the final result of this match, there will be no impact on the standings, in 3rd and 4th place are not much different I wouldn't be surprised if the two teams drew.

For today's match my attention is only on the Salernitana vs Verona match we know that Salernitana no longer has hope, they are certain to be relegated, meanwhile Verona is not in the safe zone so they need a win today, if Verona is beaten today then there is a possibility they will drop into the red zone so there is no other choice Verona will fight it out. I will bet on Verona and over goals and also both teams to score as anticipation.

Juventus will compete again for the first time after Allegri was fired from the coaching bench there. And currently Paolo Montero will temporarily take over coaching after Allegri left there. and actually today's match will be quite difficult. Because the opponent you will face is Bologna, who have been quite consistent this season. In fact, currently Bologna is also ranked 3rd after successfully overtaking Juventus last week. And now I wonder if after Allegri is fired this team will get better. Or it will actually get worse. Even though the match at the end of the season is no longer that important. Because both Bologna and Juventus are certain to get tickets to the UCL for the next season. but now we are definitely curious about Juventus' performance without Allegri.
I'm too used to seeing Juventus with Allegri. So maybe I will be a little sad to see Juventus without Allegri.

[Rampagoe004]

Now all the teams in Serie A still have one to two matches left and for Roma one match remaining will not be enough for them to overtake Atalanta. I think they have to be willing to fight again in the European league and that is at least still better than not playing in other competitions next season.

I agree with you. AS Roma had good results when De Rossi took over as coach of As Roma. And it was a little too late to improve their ranking. This is a pretty good result, they managed to get tickets to the European league next season. With one match remaining, it is impossible for As Roma to catch Atalanta. Poor results with 2 draws and 1 defeat meant they failed to overtake Atalanta. On the other hand, Atalanta is playing very well this season. They could even have the opportunity to qualify for the Champions League if they become European champions. So I think Atalanta has the right to play in the champions league next season.

Yes, as you said, that match no longer affects the two teams, so even though Allegri has been fired and is now being managed temporarily by Montero, it is possible that there are no demands for Montero. Likewise with Bologna, it's just that it is very possible to still target victory and besides that he wants to prove his capacity. It is also widely reported that Juventus wants to recruit him, perhaps this match will also be a special prestige competition for Motta.

You don't need to think here, just look at the facts: Mourinho achieved 6th place twice in the two full seasons he coached Roma. Against the backdrop of the fact that he additionally won the Conference League and led Roma to the Europa League final, this is a success that will be difficult for all subsequent coaches to repeat.
As for this season, no one knows where Roma would end up with Mourinho. I think you know that every coach has his own views and plans the peak of the team’s shape, focusing on different events in the season, it is quite possible that Mourinho was leading the team to win the Europa League.

Bologna was a little lucky because they acted as hosts, and Juventus came to visit with good confidence, after winning the Coppa Italia trophy by beating Atalanta. However, looking at the situation and ambitions of both teams, it seems that the Bologna versus Juventus match will end in a draw, and betting on a match like this is quite risky. Apart from that, to be honest, Bologna has other advantages that they can take advantage of, which in my opinion is that the change of Juventus manager is an opportunity for Bologna to secure full points.

Even though both will secure tickets to the Champions League, finishing in 3rd place in the standings is certainly better, and in terms of bonuses it is also bigger. Bologna performance this season is very impressive, they managed to be consistent when Juventus experienced a slump. It is reported that Thiago Motta, who currently serves as Bologna manager, is being targeted by Juventus to replace the role left by Allegri. This match will be another opportunity for Thiago Motta, to prove the quality of himself and his team.

I think Napoli are done with qualifying for the Conference League from now on. What do you think?

Because they played a really crucial game against Fiorentina away three days ago. They had to win to be in this competition. Despite getting ahead first they couldn't keep Fiorentina away from making a comeback. One point was what they only managed to get.    Now Fiorentina are two points ahead with a missing game to play. Honestly Napoli need to get really lucky from now on. Fiorentina's remaining games are against Cagliari and Atalanta (both away).

Bro, as I said before Serie A has 5 tickets to the Champions League for grabs and Atalanta already got one ticket because they finished in 5th place. You need to know that Serie A can actually have 6 tickets if Atalanta win the European League and Atalanta finish in 6th place then one ticket will be given to the team that finishes in 5th place, but in this scenario Atalanta is in 5th place, meaning Atalanta has the opportunity to get 2 tickets to the champions league.

This scenario could happen if Atalanta loses the next 2 matches in Serie A and AS Roma won the last match by scoring 9 goals then AS Roma will take 5th place it's just that this scenario is impossible to happen somehow AS Roma scored 9 goals and match-fixing may be applied, obviously both teams will avoid it.

I think you got your analysis wrong on this one because there's no way we're going to have six Italian teams participate in next season's UEFA Champions League competition and I'll explain how. The current UEFA rules allows five Italian teams to represent the league in the UEFA Champions League competition but the truth is that not more than five Italian teams will play in the UEFA Champions League competition no matter where they finish in the league table and who wins the UEFA Europa League competition this season.
If for any reason Roma happens to beat Atalanta to the fifth position of the league table even when we know it's almost impossible and then Atalanta wins the UEFA Europa League final against Bayer Leverkusen, what will happen is that fifth placed team in the league table Roma will not participate again in the UCL but will rather be moved back to the Europa League while Atalanta will join the top four clubs in the league table and play in the UEFA Champions League come next season.

But what an end this was between Allegri and Juventus Turin. I have only read some of the news superficially, didn't really look into it, but from what I have heard they fired him (or are about to fire him) because he messed up on the day when they won the Coppa Italial. He completely freaked out and destroyed stuff inside the stadium or something and insulted one of the Juventus official? Seems Juventus said that the behavior of Allegri doesn't align with club values. The guy must have gone rogue or something. I'd like to understand what his reasons were for his actions. But it shows that there has probably been a lot of stuff going on behind the scenes that nobody heard of and now that he won this title, he let it all out.

Juventus have many big chaotic changes in the last three seasons and I am sure last 36 months in Juventus are not comfortable time for Max Allegri. He in reality managed to help Juventus to complete this season in top four, and the club will participate in Champions League next season. It is a success and that is different than what's happening with Manchester United and Ten Hag.

The last season, Juventus would have been qualified for Champions League spot too if they had not gotten a punishment from the FIGC. Many things can not control by Max Allegri as a coach but media and Juventus do things to force people believe that all bad results in Juventus are responsible by only Max Allegri.

Explained: Why Juventus have been docked 10 points by the Italian Football Federation.

I believe that years later, people will return and consider the second era of Max Allegri in Juventus with a different stance than now.

He hasn't managed anything just yet. I have no idea what schedule you are looking at, but I can tell you that if they lose this game against Bologna, chances are high that Atalanta is going to take their position after the next game. Top four is the minimum goal for them without a doubt, but it is at risk. That is what "Max" Allegri did. Nothing else. He is messing it up with the team at the moment.

Juventus is so far away from what they used to be. Remember they have been a well respected Champions League contender. These times are over for now and I don't think they will be able to raise the quality of the squad in the near future. If they miss the CL qualification, my lord it is going to be bad times for them.

The remaining matches will still affect the final position in the standing, the 3rd-5th position may still changed depending on the results of the current  teams standing in 3rd-5th.
I'm sure the 3 teams will still try to finish in the best possible position (3rd), so I believe the match between Bologna vs Juventus will be so tough.
The team which win the match will be in advantage to take the 3rd position but if the match ended in a draw than Atalanta may take the advantage to take the 3rd position.
Although these 3 teams are already qualified to UCL next season but as I said before, they will still compete for the better final position.

Obviously there's going to be a switch in positions the league table after the last games, and in the match between Bologna vs Juventus is currently losing 0-2 to Bologna,  This is surprising because it's just about 11 + minutes into the game, I doubt if Juve would bounce in this game, and if they lost at the end Atlanta will take on the 4th position if they won their game, because Juventus is currently at 4th position with 37 games played so far whereas Atlanta is at the 5th position with 66 points with a total of 36 games played.

I think Napoli are done with qualifying for the Conference League from now on. What do you think?

Because they played a really crucial game against Fiorentina away three days ago. They had to win to be in this competition. Despite getting ahead first they couldn't keep Fiorentina away from making a comeback. One point was what they only managed to get.    Now Fiorentina are two points ahead with a missing game to play. Honestly Napoli need to get really lucky from now on. Fiorentina's remaining games are against Cagliari and Atalanta (both away).

Napoli still has the opportunity to end this season at 8th in order to play in the European Conference League even though the opportunity is very small because Fiorentina has 2 remaining matches. The first team faced by Fiorentina namely Cagliari and the second team was Atalanta.

Napoli's chances will disappear to end this season at number 8 if Fiorentina wins against Cagliari.
But if Fiorentina fails to get points when facing Cagliari and Atalanta and Napoli managed to get 3 points when dealing with Lecce in the last match, that's where Napoli opportunities are still there even though it is very small.

I still consider such a possibility because in football it is still valid.

Napoli this year has been a total disappointment for their own fans and also for all other lovers of the sport, unfortunately for them their season started badly and is ending even worse. I believe that for them the hopes of qualifying for the next conference league are really minimal, Fiorentina are only 2 points away from being mathematically certain of participating in the next conference league and furthermore they could still aspire to a place in the Europa League if Lazio were to lose their last league game. All this translates into a few words, few chances for Napoli to play in a European competition, De Laurentis must console himself with just the championship and Coppa Italia for next year and do mea culpa

Great match Bologna vs Juventus... I believed in Bologna, but I had no doubt that they would not lose... Juventus combe back must have surprised everyone... Nobody expected them to equalise in the second half in such a desperate situation... But this match once again showed that in football there are often surprises... Now I wonder what Atalanta will be able to do after the Europa League final...

Bologna underestimated Juventus in the second half and paid for that. How could they accept 3 goals to be scored in less than 10 minutes! Juventus isn't a threat to any team in Serie A from a long period now.. They are lucky there will be 5 teams from Serie A to go to the new version of UEFA Champions League, otherwise I start to doubt if they could end 4th or not..

A potentially costly mistake for Bologna, but as good as this comeback sounds at first glance, this draw could cost Juventus the Champions League qualification. Take into account that Atalanta now has an unbelievable chance to leave Bologna and Juventus behind. What the heck is going on in Serie A. Looking back like 2 or 3 months, Juventus Turin was safe and nobody doubted they would get the qualification. Now it is all on the fence for them.

It would be the biggest nightmare for Juventus if Atalanta wins that game and by the way, Atalanta has two games at home now. It could now end in a catastrophe if Bologna wins the game against Genoa and Atalanta is not giving away any points in those two games. Unbelievable that Juventus would end up in the Europa League after a season without any games on European stages. Worst times for them ever.
