Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[rangga28]

It must be admitted that what De Rossi has shown with Roma is quite impressive this season even though there were doubts when he first arrived and De Rossi was able to answer all those doubts.
Based on what De Rossi has shown, it is fitting for Roma management to retain him next season and give him the freedom to build this team according to his wishes. I think it is very likely that De Rossi will make Roma better next season.

Compared to the previous coach, De Rossi actually showed quite an impressive performance with his team and he succeeded in restoring the players' confidence so he managed to bring AS Roma to finish in sixth place in the standings. I doubt that if the previous coach was still at AS Roma he could have made the team reach the top six of the standings because we can see how the players performed when he was still the coach.

Initially there were doubts about De Rossi's abilities, but he managed to give his best. AS Roma needs to retain De Rossi and may need a little financial support to buy some of the players needed so that next season AS Roma can compete with several other top teams.

What do you mean, you compare him with Jose Mourinho? I think you should study first before giving such an assessment. I think De Rossi is not at all better than Mourinho, finishing in 6th place is not an achievement to be proud of.

To be honest, I really respect De Rossi because he was only appointed as a professional coach this season but comparing him to Mourinho is clearly very wrong. I think that next season the Giallorossi will be even more difficult to compete unless Roma management reshuffles several players and looks for replacement players who can bring big changes to the team.

[KTChampions]

The last round of Serie A will be quite paradoxical: Juventus, Bologna and Atalanta will decide the fate of Roma. If Atalanta finishes the season in 5th place, then Roma will receive a ticket to the Champions League, and if Atalanta rises higher (mathematically it can take 3rd-4th place), then Roma will go to the Europa League.
There are millions at stake and I am sure that Serie A, which is famous (in a bad way haha) for its behind-the-scenes agreements, will not allow this 6th ticket to be missed. In the end, the more teams, the more points they will earn for Italy in the UEFA rankings.

[Altryist]

Since the start of the season, Roma's performance when they were still coached by Jose Mourinho had many problems, so the right decision was taken by Roma management to immediately replace him with De Rossi and even though De Rossi still lacked experience, he was able to make Roma's performance much better, that's a De Rossi has done extraordinary things this season.

With what De Rossi has shown so far, it is fitting for Roma management to keep him and I think De Rossi should also form a team according to his wishes to be able to improve Roma's performance next season, if given sufficient freedom and finances to recruit I think there is a big possibility that De Rossi will be able to make Roma better next season.

After De Rossi arrived, Roma really began to look better, but this happens after a new coach comes to the team. And if we evaluate the final results for the season, then they did not achieve significant success in the EL and most likely they will not be able to rise above sixth place, they lost several very important matches that became decisive, they lost to Atalanta, they drew with Napoli and Juventus, this there were important matches and they needed points, so I don’t know if Roma will continue the contract with De Rossi.

[Zlantann]

Compared to the previous coach, De Rossi actually showed quite an impressive performance with his team and he succeeded in restoring the players' confidence so he managed to bring AS Roma to finish in sixth place in the standings. I doubt that if the previous coach was still at AS Roma he could have made the team reach the top six of the standings because we can see how the players performed when he was still the coach.

Qualifying for the Europa League competition next season is a big achievement for Roma. And it was possible because Daniele De Rossi was able to bring back the quality of the team. Jose Mourinho left the team when the squad was facing a lot of challenges and looks as if they will end the season in the middle of the table. But the young Italian coach was able to put the club together and got the deserved results. His former teammate Ashley Cole during an interview said he is not surprised about the success of Rossi because he has always had an understanding of tactical and management issues even when he was just a player.

Initially there were doubts about De Rossi's abilities, but he managed to give his best. AS Roma needs to retain De Rossi and may need a little financial support to buy some of the players needed so that next season AS Roma can compete with several other top teams.

I was one of the people who doubted the ability of Daniele De Rossi to turn the fortune of the club around. But he proved us wrong and has done a good job. Roma will perform better next season if they can sign more players to boost the team. The coach's main task now will be how to reshuffle the team to know players that will go, stay and come. With good financial support, Roma would be able to compete for the Scudetto next season.

Atalanta last night succeeded to accomplish a result that many people including bookmakers never believed they'll achieve and that was to beat reigning German champions Bayer Leverkusen in Dublin. Before the kick off of the UEFA Europa League final last night, many people were of the opinion that Xabi Alonso's Bayer Leverkusen were definitely going to win the game as they've not lost any game in all competitions in their last 51 matches. I was also backing Leverkusen to win because I felt they have a better formidable squad to win that particular match.
A friend of mine before the game reminded me of the performance of Atalanta against Liverpool at Anfield last month in the first leg of their quarter final tie and told me that should Atalanta score first against Bayer Leverkusen, they'll definitely win that game. After the first half, the Italian team were leading by two goals to nil and that my friend also called and told me that Atalanta is going to be champions of the Europa League. Congratulations to Atalanta for winning their first European trophy last night.

Wow what a surprise win by Atalanta. They proved many people wrong including me. I also thought Bayer Leverkusen great team and long winning streak would be too much for Atalanta. But your friend was right Atalanta good game against Liverpool showed they could do it. And they won big leading 2-0 at halftime and taking home their first European title. Congratulations to Atalanta on this amazing achievement. It is reminder that football is full of surprises and we should not underestimate any team.

 No one expects all that will happen to Bayer Leverkusen, and their coach, Xavi Alonso, will witness such disappointment at the end because all their performances didn't show any signs of failure. But the mistake that we all made was overviewing what happened to the Liverpool and Atalanta games. I also thought it was just because of the poor performance of Liverpool, that is why they got knocked out by Atalanta, not knowing Atalanta had already planned their move to face any team.
 
But we all have to accept to congratulate Atalanta because they have already won the trophy, and if I am not mistaken, this is their first Europa Cup ever, but I know from now on they will be more motivated and have more wins in the future. Furthermore, all the credit for yesterday's victory will go to the man of the match, which was Ademola Lookman. He was actually a star, and he really shined.

last tunr of the season, we also have a "recovery" match next week.

Games are important only for the Champions zone and relegation zone.

De Rossi still proved to Roma that he is worth bringing over to manage the club. He started well and Roma was winning matches and was able to stay on the 5th position, not until when they played with Atalanta and lost the match. This was when their nightmare started.

Roma is finishing the season in a poor performance but I hope that they can perform better next season, if they keep De Rossi because he is getting use to the players and needs more time to build the team. Atalanta became unstoppable during the last quarter of the season and that helped them to win a ticket to UCL next season. They deserve it.

De Rossi proved that sacking Mourinho was not a bad decision by Roma management. After the coach change Roma have performed consistently well under De Rossi. But I am not sure if De Rossi will be able to strengthen the Roma team next season.

With the help of De Rossi, Roma performed well in a few matches but we saw a decline in Roma's performance in the last few matches of the season. And there are still a number of weaknesses within Roma's squad. This requires De Rossi to add more talented players to the squad.   But the Roma management is probably not keen on spending too much money. So I have considerable doubts whether Roma will be able to maintain their winning streak next season with this same squad.

[Leviathan.007]

There are really many interesting matches in my opinion, and also rather easy ones with teams already mathematically relegated. I try a substantial bet.

• Juventus - Monza i will bet on Juventus
• AC Milan - Salernitana i will bet on AC Milan
• Napoli - Lecce i will bet on Napoli
• Hellas Verona FC - Inter Milan i will bet on Inter Milan
• Lazio - Sassuolo i will bet on Lazio

Regarding Juventus and Monza I hope to see Juventus at least win this match against Monza and get the three points from this match however they are getting far from the top side of the table and Juventus is not in the situation at all, especially after the new about Allgeri. He was working at Juventus for three years and now he left Juventus to make this team find a new coach. However, we know any new other coach is better than Allgeri considering the performance he had in Juventus during the time when he was working in this team.

[BitcoinHunt3r]

In a few minutes there will be a match between Cagliari v Fiorentina, I personally choose Fiorentina to win in this match with odds @ 1.83. Although indeed, that Fiorentina also played away and also, that Cagliari also still have to stay away from the relegation zone after the previous match Cagliari also managed to beat Sassuolo with a score of 0-2. But anyway, the fact is that Fiorentina also still has a target that must be achieved, of course, to maintain its position to get a Conference League ticket. Considering Fiorentina and Torino currently only have a gap of 1 point and therefore, I think this match will be a good moment for Fiorentina to get three points by beating Cagliari at Unipol Domus.

Currently Fiorentina leads by one goal since the first half but Cagliari didn't give up they made the same effort and Fiorentina must be wary of counterattacks. Fiorentina is indeed eyeing a conference League  ticket but I think Lazio will get it meanwhile, if Fiorentina fails to climb to 7th position, they still have other ways to get it, even a European league ticket if they can win the final match Conference League on May 30.

Damn I forgot to bet on the corner kick because Cagliari is one goal behind and of course they will continue to try to equalize the score meaning there will be lots of corners. If Cagliari cannot equalize the score, there is a risk that Empoli will catch them if they win the last match because there is a possibility that both teams have the same points except for goal difference.

The last round of Serie A will be quite paradoxical: Juventus, Bologna and Atalanta will decide the fate of Roma. If Atalanta finishes the season in 5th place, then Roma will receive a ticket to the Champions League, and if Atalanta rises higher (mathematically it can take 3rd-4th place), then Roma will go to the Europa League.

I'd like Atalanta to drop points against Torino and Fiorentina while Roma wins against Empoli so that Roma can qualify for the Champions League since Atalanta has already qualified after winning the Europa League.
I want the six teams from Italy to play in the Champions League next season because I want the world to start giving the Italian series A the respect it deserves. The league has been doing well lately with some very big competitions. Nobody wins it back-to-back anymore and now at the beginning of every season, at least 4 teams have the biggest chance to win the league.
We also see how far they go in Europe. Inter got to the UCL final last season and Atalanta won the Europa this season. The league needs more money and more PR and it would be regarded as the best league in Europe. Juventus, Milan, Inter, Atalanta, and Roma are teams that can be top teams in Europe if they're backed properly.
Lazio, Fiorentina, and Bologna are also very good teams.

What do you mean, you compare him with Jose Mourinho? I think you should study first before giving such an assessment. I think De Rossi is not at all better than Mourinho, finishing in 6th place is not an achievement to be proud of.

To be honest, I really respect De Rossi because he was only appointed as a professional coach this season but comparing him to Mourinho is clearly very wrong. I think that next season the Giallorossi will be even more difficult to compete unless Roma management reshuffles several players and looks for replacement players who can bring big changes to the team.

Jose Mourinho is still better than Daniele De Rossi, but Mourinho has still fallen short of Roma's huge expectations so far. Daniele De Rossi also may not be able to bring success to Roma even though Roma's performance with him has improved slightly, but Roma is a team that has often ended the season in 6th place, especially in the last few seasons.

Ending the season in 6th place might be considered proud instead of being relegated or in the middle of the table, but Roma is expected to be able to compete for the title rather than just participating in Serie A every season without achieving and competing for the title.

[bering]

There are really many interesting matches in my opinion, and also rather easy ones with teams already mathematically relegated. I try a substantial bet.

• Juventus - Monza i will bet on Juventus
• AC Milan - Salernitana i will bet on AC Milan
• Napoli - Lecce i will bet on Napoli
• Hellas Verona FC - Inter Milan i will bet on Inter Milan
• Lazio - Sassuolo i will bet on Lazio

Regarding Juventus and Monza I hope to see Juventus at least win this match against Monza and get the three points from this match however they are getting far from the top side of the table and Juventus is not in the situation at all, especially after the new about Allgeri. He was working at Juventus for three years and now he left Juventus to make this team find a new coach. However, we know any new other coach is better than Allgeri considering the performance he had in Juventus during the time when he was working in this team.

This is the last match of this season for Juventus but unfortunately they have to sack Allegri because recently Juventus was displayed poor performance and although this season Juventus can gets Coppa Italy trophy but Juventus owner still want Allegri out and just like i said before Juventus will have new manager for next season and probably Thiago Motta will be in charge and let see it later whether Juventus under Motta can able to compete with Inter Milan and AC Milan for race title or not and Juventus currently was handled by Paolo Montero and from the latest match Juventus only able to playing draw from Bologna

I think Juventus performance while against Bologna is very impressive because after conceded 3 goals they can equalized the scores and stole point from Bologna even Paolo Montero was very satisfied to see the performance of Juventus players and this weekend against Monza i think they have good chances to ended their poor result from this match and return to the winning ways and my prediction for this match is Juventus will be able to overcomes Monza and probably the final scores is 2-0 or 1-0 for Juventus

Lazio, Fiorentina, and Bologna are also very good teams.

Roma can lose or win, it doesn’t change anything, they cannot fall to 7th place or rise to 5th place for any outcome due to the regulations of Serie A where personal meetings are of first importance.
It all depends on Atalanta, if they rise above 5th place, then the 6th ticket that would go to Roma will go to Benfica. If Atalanta takes 5th place, then Roma will receive the 6th ticket and Benfica will begin its journey from the third qualifying round.

[Lillominato89]

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

Moreover, Napoli is likely to lose some of their important players this summer. For example Osimhen. He is chased by Chelsea and PSG according to most recent rumours. Chelsea rumours have increased more. While Napoli are in this situation Osimhen wouldn't bother signing for Chelsea who are going to the Conference League I assume. At least we are talking about Premier League football for him. 

Chelsea have made progress recently as well so they would play bigger with Osimhen. I wonder whether Kvaratskhelia also thinks about leaving in case of getting an offer this summer. He is also one of the crucial members.

You are absolutely right, Napoli without playing in the European cups will most likely have to say goodbye to some top players, and one of these is now well known who it is, Osimhen will most likely go to play in France with PSG who has been courting him for some time, in addition they are in dire need of replacing the departure of Mbappe who will leave in June to play with Real Madrid. For Kvara I can't tell you, I think he likes being at Napoli

[coinlocket$]

Gasperini may leave Atalanta at the end of the season.
He said without saying that he has an offer from a big team and he is thinking about it.

Could be it Napoli?

Napoli and Milan will change coach for sure and at the moment we know nothing about them.

[TelolettOm]

De Rossi still proved to Roma that he is worth bringing over to manage the club. He started well and Roma was winning matches and was able to stay on the 5th position, not until when they played with Atalanta and lost the match. This was when their nightmare started.

Agree. De Rossi did not bad work this season. It is still reasonable if he only can lead Roma to finish in the top 6. He needs to build Roma squad, it must take a lot of time. At least, AS Roma can play in Europa league for the next season. AS Roma can have another chance to go far in Europa league, they may reach the final round if De Rossi can improve the performance of AS Roma.

No, I don't think it is a nightmare to lose against Atalanta. It was an away match and Atalanta was in their best form. Personally, I think Atalanta is a bit stronger than AS Roma. So, it makes sense if AS Roma was defeated by Atalanta. Now, De Rossi can rebuild As Roma squad to challenge Atalanta in the next season.

Roma is finishing the season in a poor performance but I hope that they can perform better next season, if they keep De Rossi because he is getting use to the players and needs more time to build the team. Atalanta became unstoppable during the last quarter of the season and that helped them to win a ticket to UCL next season. They deserve it.

I don't think it is a very poor performance. AS Roma only got 1 losses in the last 5 matches, it is not worse than AC Milan which got 2 losses. Well, AS Roma can forget about Atalanta because there will be no match against Atalanta in the near future. Just focus on building a stronger squad of AS Roma, it is what De Rossi must do now. I expect much on him, he still has a great motivation for the next season. In the last press-conference, he said they want to use their funds well!

Daniele De Rossi also may not be able to bring success to Roma even though Roma's performance with him has improved slightly, but Roma is a team that has often ended the season in 6th place, especially in the last few seasons.

I'd liked to call that a successful coach as someone who was able to bring trophy to the club. People are just lowering the standard from the team by calling a coach that was no giving trophy has improved the club a lot. There's such thing in the history of football the trophyless club being remembered same as a winner of a competition.
It doesn't even make sense to call it better just because he was only changing the strategy from dominant defensive to the attacking strategy. If rossi will be trophyless again next season and people called him again better than mourinho which was giving trophy after roma being trophyless for so many years.

Ending the season in 6th place might be considered proud instead of being relegated or in the middle of the table, but Roma is expected to be able to compete for the title rather than just participating in Serie A every season without achieving and competing for the title.

Impossible for roma to compete for the title. Its opponents are just getting even stronger with their team. Roma is a stingy team that is not even willing to give some money to the manager to improve its club.
I remember when mourinho was never able getting what he wanted to buy. Roma is not a title contender team.

[Solokan]

Atalanta completed a difficult job and they succeeded, Atalanta showed a fantastic performance and they made a big surprise by beating Leverkusen and even breaking Leverkusen's unbeaten record this season.

Ademola Lookman scored a hat trick in this match, it was truly extraordinary, I was really impressed with Atalanta's performance which was well organized in all areas to be able to beat Leverkusen with a fairly landslide score.

Atlanta, which previously continued to be underestimated, was finally able to surprise everyone in this match, Atalanta previously lost the opportunity to win the Coppa Italia trophy because they lost to Juventus who were in poor performance, then we all thought that Atlanta had no hope of being able to beat Leverkusen, who previously had a record which is very impressive with 51 unbeaten matches in all competitions this season, in the final match, Atlanta experienced quite a lot of pressure after continuing to receive attacks from the Leverkusen squad, but the solid defense they built ultimately made Atlanta succeed in winning the European League this season and becoming the first team which destroyed Leverkusen unbeaten record this season.

Currently, Atlanta has secured one Champions League ticket for next season because it is in 5th place in the Serie A standings, but apart from successfully winning the European League, of course Atlanta also has the right to get an automatic ticket to the Champions League next season through the European League champion route, so that with success Atlanta winning the European League of course also provides a big advantage for Serie A which automatically now has 6 tickets to play in the Champions League next season, so I think Roma, who are currently ranked 6th, should be grateful to Atlanta because they also get the opportunity to play in the Champions League next season after Atlanta won the European League this season.

Gasperini has succeeded in making a good strategy which ultimately made it difficult for Atalanta to be beaten by Leverkusen and Adolia Lookman performed very brilliantly in that match. I personally also thought that Leverkusen would be the winner, but yes, that's how it is in the world of football, sometimes it is always difficult for us to predict the outcome of the match. Yes, of course Leverkusen had to swallow a bitter pill because as an undefeated team this season they were finally defeated by Gasperini's troops.

Yes, the score of 3-0 is a score that indicates that Atalanta won with a good score and also indicates that Atalanta is really stronger than Leverkusen, of course this is not a coincidence.

Since being defeated by Juventus in the Coppa Italia with a narrow score of 0-1, lots never thought Atalanta that they would succeed in becoming champions of the Europa League and defeating Xabi's troops. Against Leverkusen, it was not easy for Atalanta to win because Leverkusen played well, but yes, it was true that because Atalanta's defense was strong, Gasperini's troops were finally able to win and performed very well.

Yes, AS Roma must thank Atalanta because from Serie A they got 6 tickets to the Champions League because of Atalanta's services. Yes As Roma will be able to play in the Champions League next season.

but I was also happy to see Gasperini get his first trophy with Atalanta and he had a very long struggle and now he has felt the fruits of his labor since he joined Atalanta in 2016.

Gasperini may leave Atalanta at the end of the season.
He said without saying that he has an offer from a big team and he is thinking about it.

His statement is not an ambiguous statement, based on the news I read on the internet, after successfully bringing Atalanta to become UEL champions, Gasperini was immediately offered a contract by Napoli but he had to talk first with executives at the Atalanta team regarding what his future at Atalanta would be.

OFC, the offer from Napoli is an offer that's difficult to refuse considering Napoli is a team that has more capacity to compete in Serie A. IMO he will not continue with Atalanta & will go to Napoli.
