Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Mayor of ogba]

Genoa is indeed a team that cannot be underestimated. Even on h2h in the last 5 meetings, Genoa is quite superior with 2 wins and 2 draws and only 1 loss. Even at the start of the season, when Genoa visited Bologna's headquarters, the result of the match was a draw. Which means that even then Genoa could overwhelm the home team. And in the final match of the season, Genoa will be the host because the match will take place at the Luigi Ferraris stadium, which is Genoa's headquarters. And maybe this match will be a fierce match and I might also agree that this match could end in a draw. Even though Bologna has now turned into a strong team, I'm not sure they will win this match easily. They might even lose.

Yes, Genoa is playing well this season, especially in home games... Bologna also had a great season and even if they lose, they will stay in the Champions League zone... For both teams, this match doesn't decide anything and they can play any way they want... It's probably hard to predict the winner, but I think that Genoa won't lose...

Genoa turned out to be able to win the match. Even with a pretty good score of 2-0. With this, Bologna still cannot improve their bad results when facing Genoa. but besides all that, Bologna is still safe in the Champions League zone. And the results of this match did not change anything for either team. Even though Genoa won, they didn't get anything other than a sense of pride because they were able to beat the team that is currently ranked 4th, namely Bologna. And Genoa beat Bologna so often that this isn't surprising.

And today there will be more matches that should be easy to predict. Because many matches seem to bring together strong teams and teams that are not so strong. But because this is the last match of the season, perhaps a surprising result could occur.

This is a very bad result for Bologna; their qualification for next season's UEFA Champions League competition is in big doubt. The result of the match has given Atalanta a big opportunity to enter the fourth place of the Serie A table. If Atalanta can win one match in their two remaining matches for the season to end, they will finish in fourth place in the Series A league table. Atalanta has been in good form recently; they will likely win one match to overtake Bologna in the Serie A table.

For Salernitana, it doesn't matter if they held Milan to a draw or not, they are still going to Serie B and I wonder why they had to wait till this time to become serious because if this performance had been in mid season, they would have had a chance at remaining but I guess there's no room for less than average performers in Serie A.

Milan vs Salernitana ended in a draw.
This time, quite disappointed with Milan. How is it possible that they can only draw from the bottom club in the standings? Yes, even though they are not chasing any more points, but as a close season match, the result should be good, especially against the lowest clubs. It's quite embarrassing to see the results, Milan could concede 3 goals even though they were ahead, very superior. Are Milan too underestimated or did they actually give Salernitana a draw? Because Salernitana is not that good either. only, Milan played pretty bad.

But never mind. Milan is essentially still in second place even though the final result of this match was disappointing. And on the other hand, Salernitana remains in the relegation zone.

This is one of the biggest problem of the Italian Serie A this season. I wonder what on earth will make AC Milan not to win Salernitana, a club that is already relegated? The funny part is that the match was played at San Siro where AC Milan ought to enjoy home advantage. They started very well with a two goals lead from Rafael Leao and Olivier Giroud and ended the first half with this score line. Unfortunately, they could not hold it to the end as two late goals from their visitors scored at the 87th and 89th minutes changed everything.

Another match I was expecting a draw was Juventus against Monza but seems the home side was able to put themselves together and secure a win today, a major shift from the prevailing trend of them playing consecutive draws both home and away. Their two goals to nil win was indeed a nice way to end the league.

Genoa broke many predictions by beating Bologna, who this season have appeared more consistent. However, the results of this match will not affect Bologna chances of getting to the Champions League next season, because Serie A will send 6 representatives to the Champions League next season. Serie A gets one additional ticket to the Champions League following the new format, and with Atalanta succeeding in winning the European League, Serie A will automatically get a total of 6 tickets. In this case, Roma was very lucky and got this ticket because they were ranked 6th in the standings.

Bologna failed to take advantage of the momentum to overtake Juventus, and finished in third place in the standings, they lost a lot of points and failed to use the momentum well. However, in my opinion, this season Bologna performed very well, no one thought they would be able to finish in the Champions League zone, and will participate there next season. Meanwhile, after recording an impressive season, Bologna has reportedly officially parted ways with manager Thiago Motta after refusing a contract extension. It looks like Thiago Motta will move to Juventus, to become Allegri successor.

farewell day at AC Milan, in the 3-3 draw against Salernitana today they said goodbye to both Pioli, the coach who managed to win an unthinkable championship and Giroud who had been considered a failure by many AC Milan fans but who turned out to be a excellent player in recent years.

There are rumors that the next coach will be Fonseca, already a coach in Italy in the years spent in Rome.

[Slow death]

Milan 3 - 3 Salernitana

last season salernitana was in the relegation zone and managed to recover and left the relegation zone and continued in series A, but this season they didn't have the same luck as they had last season and will be relegated, they played their last game in Serie A against Milan, although they managed to score 3 goals and drew against the team in second place, it was not enough to save them from relegation. in most teams that are relegated, it takes time to return to the main league and for various reasons, such as good players abandoning ship as soon as they realize that they are going to play in the second division, the coach also abandons ship, the sponsors They also abandon ship and the team loses a lot. It has a reduced budget and a weak squad, which makes it difficult for them to return to the first division, this will probably happen with Salernitana




Lazio - Sassuolo

today Sassuolo will play their last Serie A game, it will probably be a game of negative emotions for all Sassuolo fans who will be watching this be the last Serie A game that their team will play. Next season will have to see Sassuolo playing in the second division and trying to achieve promotion, a task that will not be easy, because a first division team loses a lot when they are relegated.

[Weawant]

AcC Milan ends the season with a viceroy as they bid their coach farewell and one of their key player who also has a goal in this their las game of the season against salernitana, Girod has been an excellent player for Milan most recently, altho he wasn't this good immediately after his arrival at AC Milan but I'm very sure of the fact that they are most definitely going to miss him after now as he exits the team this season.

I was even surprised at salernitanas performance today because they are one of the underdogs in the serie A but have been able to challenge a top team to a draw , it's the last game of the season a d had nothing really for them to play for so it's possible Milan did it to help slaernitana to have the opportunity to experience their last win before the end of the season and aswell their las appearance in the serie A till whenever they eventually get promoted again because they are getting relegate as this victory couldn't even save them from the relegation this season.

Juventus won their game tho their opponent had a res card which made it feel like an easy win for them altho they had to try their best buy I see it in such light because they are not in their very best form and it very possible they weren't able to make it winning as they aught to , it's possible it would have been a draw without out that red card, maybe their opponent would have been able to equalize the goals If their mentality were in a good form altho the red card came in late.

[TelolettOm]

Genoa beat Bologna  with 2 - 0 goals.. Yapp, this time, Bologna was defeated.
Even though this is like a farewell for Bologna and Motta.

this result was definitely surprising for a lot of people, including me. I thought this match was going to be a win for Bologna. But Genoa was able to win this match easily. Well, I guess I should not say easily because they had only 26% of the possession of the ball throughout the whole match. I would say that they have done a good job to actually score 2 goals. This match is probably not going to have any effect on the table at all. Genoa is going to finish at the mid-table. On the other hand, bologna is going to finish in the top five positions and will participate in the Champions League competition.

Yes, Bologna will really be in 5th place because of this defeat.
because Atalanta still has 2 matches that have not been played. Meanwhile, their points this time were 66 points, only 2 points different from Bologna. And of course this will be quite easy for Atalanta to overcome, considering that Atalanta's next two matches shouldn't be a big problem.

Atalanta will compete against Torino and Fiorentina.
At least Atalanta should be able to get 3 points and immediately take over Bologna's position. Yes, in essence, this season, Atalanta will finish in 4th position and Bologna will drop to 5th position.

GIt has been rumored that he has signed a contract with Juventus. Maybe it's true that they are already not chasing victory, but they should really be careful and also optimize their last match this season. But is it true that Motta's departure is one of the reasons why the players are not so optimal this time?

Bologna will definitely miss coach Thiago Motta. Even though he was only at Bologna for 2 seasons, he managed to make Bologna a strong enough team and was able to win a ticket to the UCL.

Certainly, however, it is Motta who has lifted Bologna to the top level it is now. Even now he will enter the UCL qualifications. This is a great achievement. At least there has been quite significant progress. That's why maybe yesterday they were quite shocked when they heard rumors about Motta moving for the players.

Either way Bologna will have a place for UEFA Champions League next season, whether they finished fourth or fifth. I find Atalanta quite in form this period especially after picking UEFA Europa League from Bayer Leverkusen by three goals.
Anyway, top positions are almost fixed but relegation zones teams represented by Empoli up to Cagliari are still in doubt about which team to relegate from it.

I agree that Bologna defeat has opened door for Atalanta to overtake them in standings. With two remaining matches and only two point deficit Atalanta has clear path to surpass Bologna. Their upcoming matches against Torino and Fiorentina appear manageable and securing three points in at least one of these games should be achievable. As you have already pointed it out this would propel Atalanta into fourth place bumping Bologna down to fifth. It is looking likely that Atalanta will capitalize on this opportunity and secure coveted Champions League spot leaving Bologna to settle for Europa League berth.

Atalanta has not yet exhausted its chances of winning a higher position because it is only 2 points behind Bologna but still has two games in hand (a make-up match with Fiorentina in one week). In the immediate future, Coach Gasperini and his students would certainly like to "celebrate" the Europa League championship title with their home fans by winning the match to welcome Torino in round 38 this weekend. If Atalanta cannot surpass Bologna on the rankings, they must finish outside the top 4 positions. If they finish 5th, Roma will qualify for the Champions League. If they finish in fourth place, Roma will participate in the Europa League. In case Atalanta and Bologna both reach 68 points, Atalanta will rank 5th on the separate rankings (head-to-head performance is worse than Bologna).

Both Bologna, Juventus and Atalanta are already got their tickets to Champions League. Their ending positions in Serie will only affect their money rewards from FIGC a little bit. A bigger thing to view is will Atalanta complete this season at a fourth of third position. This is important for Serie A and AS Roma because if Atalanta get good points from their 2 remaining matches, and complete this season at a position higher than the fifth, Serie A will not get a sixth ticket to Champions League and Roma will have to play in Europa League.

If Atalanta win both matches, they will surpass Juventus and take the third position. If they win only one match, they will take a fourth position from Bologna and how many points will they get in last two matches is interesting to see.

[klidex]

After a series of bad results for Juventus, they were finally able to finish the season in 3rd place this season. I think Bologna will be in the top 3 because if you look at Juventus' recent matches, they were only able to achieve a draw and Bologna suffered a defeat against Genoa, so this is Juventus' opportunity to win the match and finish in 3rd place, maybe if Bologna wins against Genoa, it is possible that Bologna will occupy that position, however, it doesn't matter because no matter what, Bologna will still play in the top 5 of the Champions League, the most important thing is to get a ticket to enter the competition big Europe.

Atalanta will face Torino today, they still have 2 matches left to finish and their condition is in good condition after winning the Europa League title, it seems to make Atalanta more confident to win the remaining matches in Serie A. Torino is a mid-table club so I think Atalanta can finished well and their last match is against Fiorentina I hope Atalanta can also finish well so that Roma doesn't overtake them.

[len01]

It's crazy, right? Napoli, Serie A champions, then eighth. You're right regarding mentality and consistency. These guys must dig deep to regain hunger. Man, the coaching carousel stinks. It's like building a house on shifting sand. Lack of stability and basis. The board sucked this one. They hire Garcia after Spalletti leaves? Similar to buying a bicycle instead of a Lamborghini. The guy is unsuitable. You need a coach who knows the club's DNA and can motivate, not just manage. Napoli needs someone to channel championship energy and passion. It's the missing component, guy. They must get that right quickly or stay in the mud

this was all caused by the president of Napoli wanting a higher title (UCL) instantly and this ambition emerged after Spalletti succeeded in bringing Napoli to the top of the standings and the mistake of the Napoli president was simply being too indulgent in his own ego without thinking about the long term.
previously I said last season when Napoli fired Spalletti and was replaced Garcia, I was sure that Napoli would get bad karma after firing a coach who had really given Napoli a new history but was fired for a very ridiculous reason.
Napoli will never be successful even though they have so many star players as long as the Napoli president and management are too concerned about getting the title instantly, Napoli future will definitely only continue to end badly.

this season is proof that Napoli is getting bad results due to the ambition of the Napoli owner who continues to want to get something big but doesn't understand how to win this prestigious title.
while getting this prestigious title, all the teams that have won the UCL title always have a very long journey and always give opportunities to coaches who have provided little evidence of previous results.
we can see this evidence from the number of times in one season that Napoli replace coaches and it seems as if the management is very confused and worried about how to improve the team's performance.

[rendravolt]

Previously I thought this would happen and Juventus deserved to win the match against Monza. Bologna's defeat against Genoa was the reason they failed to finish in third place and that will only make it possible for Juventus to take over their position. Apart from all that, they have officially managed to secure the Champions League well.

Talking about Atalanta, I once read a tweet that if they manage to finish in fifth position like now then they will make Roma successful in securing a slot from the 6 Italian teams that will participate in the Champions League. This is because Atalanta managed to win the European league title, so Italy got the advantage of being able to send 6 representatives to the Champions League. But if Atalanta manages to finish in the top 4 then Roma will not get the chance to go to the Champions League and will have to go to the European League again. So it all depends on Atalanta who finishes in what position at the end of the season.

Napoli stats this season, 13W 13D 11L which is really a big mess for the club, ranking 10th position on the table, definitely not impressive for the club and their supporters. Napoli was the current champion of Seria A after winning the scudetto last season but this present one is worst performance for the club. This is illustrates to the roots of Luciano Spalleti as headcoach, he deliver the club and won the scudetto after 33 years without lifting it. What's the current situation of Napoli? They're devastated and really need to get back on their kneels.

No one expected Napoli to be like this and there is also nothing to expect from Napoli this season, just imagine after their success last season they actually had to decline significantly, I don't feel that they were champions last season, because this season they failed to show their identity that they are a club that holds the status of defending champion.

Spalletti's departure was very noticeable, I saw a difference in the way they played, that might be one of the reasons why they failed this season, because they had lost their extraordinary way of playing last season.

Napoli are very down and they have absolutely nothing to hope for. This season is over and now is the time for management to move quickly to restore their performance to last season. Actually, they don't have to defend the title, because that is very difficult, but at least they can show very tight competition at the top of the standings, not what they have shown this season.

[lizarder]

A great coach who is full of experience can certainly raise the enthusiasm of a team to perform better. Napoli need to get a coach like that regardless of who they want to sign, but I definitely agree that Conte is the one who deserves the job.

Gian Piero Gasperini has been Atalanta coach since 2016 and recently won the Europa League title. That is the only title Gian Piero Gasperini has won in Serie A since he coached Atalanta, so I don't think Gasperini is the most desirable coach to take charge of Napoli next season. Conte is much more convincing for the job, but I don't understand the terms or some kind of agreement in question.

Coaches have an important role for a team and coaches are the first people who try to create strategies when they compete. Even though the quality of the players is also very important, if the coach is unable to enable the players to develop their skills while playing, the players will never get the opportunity to develop by giving the team a win. Whether it's appropriate or not, let's see how Napoli tries to put their trust in him and maybe next season it will be clearer.

As you said, Gian Piero Gasperini is a coach who has not made a good history in his coaching chair and this is the first time he has succeeded in achieving the best title with Atalanta. So giving him the opportunity to coach a big team may not necessarily be able to be carried out well and on the other hand I also agree with you that Conte is much more promising.

[bering]

Napoli vs Lecce

This is the last match of Napoli this season with Francesco Calzona because Napoli has decide will not extended his contract and Napoli this season was playing similar just like a mediocre team and it makes they have to failed to defend their title and Napoli also was unable to playing at European Competitions and about their records under Calzona Napoli have been through an 15 matches in all competitions under Calzona but Napoli only gets 3 wins even Napoli was failed to win in the last 6 matches in Serie A and this makes their position only can occupy 10th place on League Table

Just like i said above this is Napoli last match this season so it could be very good if they can able to win from their opponent Lecce and actually won from Lecce is not a hard task for Napoli because they have good records from Lecce but with their condition i highly doubt Napoli can able to do that and regarding betting option obviously Napoli is the favourite even they have low odds @1.40 but considering Napoli recent condition which not really good i think potentially this match will ended to draw and the odds for draw is quite high to bets @5.40 or other option just like over 2.5 goals also good for this match

Torino is a mid-table club so I think Atalanta can finished well and their last match is against Fiorentina I hope Atalanta can also finish well so that Roma doesn't overtake them.

I also think it is a satisfactory result for Juventus and 3rd place in Serie A this season, they also won the Coppa Italia title so it was successful. Atalanta Bergamo can still get past Juventus with 2 wins, but we will see that in the next days. Juventus won at least the last game of the season, before that there were over 5 games without a win in Serie A. Juventus had to say goodbye: Alex Sandro is leaving Juventus after over 300 games, he walked on the field with the trophy and has said goodbye to the fans and he even scored a goal, very nice. Chiesa made it 1-0 and I hope that he survives next season without injury and then becomes top scorer.

After struggling to win in several previous matches that mostly end in draw or defeat, Juventus have managed to end the season with an undisputed win thou, I'm not too impressed with the win because it was against a weak team. Nevertheless, the win will restore the team confidence and prepare for the new season. There is still a lot of things to put in place and the new couch should have a maximum support from the management to get necessary players in order to strength their squad because if they fail to strengthen their squad it will be very difficult to achieve whatever result they may be aiming to achieve and next season will not be different from the just concluded season.

They have a lot of great players who are also good at recovering the ball from the opponent but only few of them know the right decision to take after they recover the ball. In a lay man language, I mean they are not clinical with the ball and that's the reason behind their struggle and finding it difficult to win a match. What they need now is someone who's capable of giving the right role to each player and knows how to bring out the best in them. I hope the new couch will be able to deliver to his expectation and build this team on the young talents in the team. However, I can't blame Allegri neither the players or management for their poor performance previously, it was just an unfortunate situation for them.
