Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

In these three seasons, the teams that won the Serie A Scudetto all came from different teams. In the 2021-2022 season Milan became champions, then in the 2022-2023 season Napoli became champions, and this season Inter managed to become champions. So this proves that the competition in Serie A is very competitive. This is different from other leagues, where sometimes one team continues to win every season. For example, in the Premier League, Manchester City has been champion for several seasons. So do you think the team that wins Serie A next season will be different, or will Inter be champions again? Even though it's a bit too quick to discuss this, I want to know what you all think about this.

In my personal opinion, next season the team that wins Serie A will definitely be different. Because to be honest, in my personal opinion, there is no truly strong team in Serie A, like Manchester City in the Premier League or Real Madrid in La Liga. So in essence, all teams currently ranked in the top 10 of Serie A have almost the same chance of becoming Serie A champions next season.

Those data cannot be used to predict who is the next champion of Serie A besides that AC Milan, Napoli and Juventus will have new managers so probably these teams will be required more time to adapt with their current managers and i am not sure they can being an strong opponent for Inter Milan for race title because we still cannot predict their performance for next season whether they can performing well with the new managers or not and compared to them Inter Milan performance is very stable this season and Inter Milan also didn't change the manager so i will assume Inter Milan performance is still consistent next season so i personally still considers they are strong candidates for the Scudetto and not impossible Inter Milan will defend their titles

Talking about Inter Milan their manager Simone Inzaghi was under negotiations with Inter Milan for a new contract i think this is positive news because Inzaghi has successfully to gets the Scudetto this season and it says he was very comfortable to train Inter Milan so that's why Inzaghi want to stayed much longer with this team and help Inter Milan to gets more trophies and with his current achievement with Inter Milan i think he deserved to gets new contract but the detail about new contract hasn't published yet

Just like some other teams in Serie A, Lazio started making changes in their team to get the team improved for the next season and got better results.
Lazio got their coach, Igor Tudor fired. Lazio said they had many differences with their coach and Igor Tudor wanted to make huge changes in Lazio and sell some players in this team which could cost too much money for Lazio.
Igor Tudor left Lazio just three months ago when he started working there.

No doubt, Osimhen is a good player. Osimhen is among the top 10 strikers in the world right now. But when a club gets a new coach, the first thing the coach will do is to assess his players to see the ones that will not fit into his tactic so that he can get a replacement immediately to enable him to perform well. Already, Conto wants to bring Lukaka to Napoli, which I think will make Osimhen want to leave the club to sign for another club where he will be a regular starter.

Even before this decision of bringing in lukaku, isimhen has always wanted to leave Napoli, except if he's now of a difference opinion because of the arrival of conte , obviously it looks like with conte, a lot may get to change and will probably get to help osimhen fit in well with the teams strategy and forms, I think it's even a better and good idea if osimhen would want to leave because there isn't assurance in the fact that he will be able to work fine with conte.

Lukaku isn't a better striker when compared to osimhen, by my personal opinion, osimhen will stand as a better choice if placed side by side with lukaku but then it's really lays within the confines of the coach to choose exactly who he finds fit enough and good for him to work with as a coach that he is, I may see osimhen to be a better striker but the coach may find it easier and better to work with conte. Napoli is looking to me like a team that will experience a very good improvement by next season such that they will be able to contend to get back the title they once held.

Leaving Roma will be another challenge Lukaku will have to tackle and I don't know if there have been any official statement in that regards as to him leaving or the team willing to selling him off to any other team willing to buy him but the transfer windows are still open so let's see what happens after now, if conte will succeed in bringing lukaku from Roma to Napoli.

[Asiska02]

I agree with you that Antonio Conte has great potential to bring positive change at Napoli if given full freedom to form the squad he wants. Of course, losing a key player like Osimhen would be a big loss for Napoli because apart from his young age, Osimhen also has great quality, especially since Osimhen was once the top scorer in Serie A.

No doubt, Osimhen is a good player. Osimhen is among the top 10 strikers in the world right now. But when a club gets a new coach, the first thing the coach will do is to assess his players to see the ones that will not fit into his tactic so that he can get a replacement immediately to enable him to perform well. Already, Conto wants to bring Lukaka to Napoli, which I think will make Osimhen want to leave the club to sign for another club where he will be a regular starter.

If Antonio Conte brings in Lukaku as a striker for next season to play for Napoli, that does not mean that Osimehn will be less useful. Osimehn stats is way much better than that of Lukaku who has come of age now and don’t really have much time left to play football before he retires. I know Osimehn will want to change club and get registered under a new team, but he’s still valuable to Napoli if he stays back. I haven’t heard Osimehn linked to any team so far the transfer window, are they no big clubs interested in this striker or his release clause is beyond measure to be affordable by teams that will be interested? Leaving Napoli is not bad but if he doesn’t get a better place than Napoli to play for with more or same playing time, he should just continue with Napoli.

[Docnaster]

Napoli and Juventus are the 2 team with probably the 2 biggest shake up on players this summer.

Conte will probably change 5 players, while Juventus should change only 3 players of the 1st team but buying more players since they will have more competions.

Juventus will play 55 to 70 games next season, insane.

Inter Milan won the Italian Serie A title in the  just concluded campaign but I think they didn't struggle much to win it because the other top teams in the league didn't perform like they were expected to and that's why I expect a strong activeness in the transfer window from the other top Italian clubs. Napoli who won the league in the 2022/23 season recently signed Antonio Conte to the club and because of the Italian manager's track record of winning trophies, he'll most likely give the club list of players he will want to be signed to the club.
For Juventus, I also expect them to sign few players that'll help become more competitive than they were last season. I expect a very tight campaign in the Italian Serie A next season and I hope the clubs lives up to the expectations of fans.

I think Tudor has always fallen short of expectations. When he became the coach of Galatasaray, there were high expectations from him, but he could not succeed. He experienced similar things in Marseille and the same way in Lazio. He was fired from the team and will find a new team again. I think we are so focused on the players in football that we don't see decent coaches anymore. We keep coming back and watching the same names. Let's see who Lazio will bring to the team now.

[Raflesia]

Hopefully it will happen but given what's happened in recent seasons, it's bound to be an uphill battle for Inter. Not without reason because since the 2019 season after Juventus managed to get the Scudetto in a row until now there is still no other club that can do the same.

Inter, Milan, last season Napoli all failed to defend the trophy back to back so in this case if in the end Inter can do it again next season then indeed it is a good thing.

Indeed this season Inter played very well and we cannot doubt Inter if we see what they did this season but for next season there is still no guarantee they will do the same.
Napoli as an example this season because last season they were very superior but from the start of this season to the finish now they are completely inversely proportional and not like Napoli who won Serie A last season.
It is not impossible for something like this to happen to Inter next season so that to minimize it from happening, as much as possible they must try well so that their performance does not drop dramatically and can still compete for competition next season.

Seria A is tough and watching Inter Milan supporters cheering up for their favorite side, this have been up and straight in his faces rather focused in these big winnings. Inter Milan liked challenges and they've embraced them with full option without having second thoughts. Inter Milan won the scudetto and they've already hits the bigger winnings and we know their next UEFA Champions League. 

You're overconfident with that because even for next season we don't know what moves Inter will make in managing the club so to feel confident enough for next season is really risky.

As I've said before sometimes the situation of Serie A is complicated where when the Scudetto winner sometimes plays not very well for the next season.
Inter in the last 2 seasons, Milan in 1 season ago and Napoli this season they have felt that after they became champions in Serie A and got the Scudetto, their performance in the next season is sometimes quite bad and Napoli this season is the most visible where after they get the trophy immediately drops to 10th place this season.

It is not impossible that next season will also happen the same for Inter although they will not be too far thrown away like Napoli but the possibility of Inter's performance not being as good as this season could happen for next season because in the end the intensity in defending the trophy is sometimes much more difficult than the club that is chasing the trophy.

Every season, all top clubs want to make changes in the transfer market to bring in new players or coaches, but the problem is that if you talk about the decline in performance of other clubs like Napoli, it is actually the club that has made its performance worse after changing coaches several times which makes the players confused. You have to use the right strategy because every coach has a different strategy and for me the bad thing about Napoli winning is very natural.

If you say some of the top clubs are a little weak, but for me it's not, because it can be seen that the competition in Serie A is still very tight and the proof is that we still see competition that is always different every season, such as Bologna and Atalanta who have managed to get a safe position to compete in the league champion while last season only Lazio managed to win the champions league title.
The competition in Serie A for me is still very interesting and not boring because there is no club that dominates the Scudetto after Juventus lost its strongest performance.

You've already made your findings and it turns out clear that Juventus and Napoli wouldn't relent from next season. They will start hitting up for top goals and bringing in more consistent results that are straight up for big games.

Napoli new headcoach, Antonio Conte have time to relaxed and setup his team, he's new to Napoli style of game and we're pretty more confident that Antonio Conte will be a backup replacement for Luciano Spalleti who's vacant space is yet to be filled.

I think last season was a very good season for Inter Milan because winning the league was easy and they had less competition in league since they were winning games and the teams that are supposed to be in competition with them were busy losing matches even until they won the league when they were matches left to play. Napoli and Juventus had bad record last season especially the Napoli team that couldn't finish among the top teams after winning the league last two seasons, they have got a good coach as them manager for the next season so they are expected to have good players to support the performance of the team since they will not be involved in any European competition they will be aiming to bounce back in the league. For the Juventus team, they need a total change in the performance of the team if not,they will end up crashing out in the group stage of the champions league because they experience a very poor season after starting very well in the beginning.

That's right, Inter Milan is walking alone in the hunt for the Scudetto, while Juventus and AC Milan are struggling when they enter the second half of the season. Simone Inzaghi succeeded in building an even squad depth, and it is proven that Inter Milan only suffered 2 defeats, their record for goal productivity and number of goals conceded is also very impressive. If they don't draw in the last two matches, Inter Milan can score almost 100 points. Meanwhile, the previous defending champions, Napoli, experienced a very serious decline despite changing managers three times. Next season, Napoli has the opportunity to bounce back, Antonio Conte has a good reputation for bringing his squad to success.

In my opinion, Juventus really needs to overhaul its squad next season, so that it can appear consistent when competing at the top of the standings. Expectations for Juventus will also be better after parting ways with Allegri and appointed Thiago Motta as their new manager. Luckily Juventus were not evicted by Atalanta in the last Serie A match, I didn't expect Juventus to record 14 draws and 5 defeats in one season. If AC Milan, Juventus, Napoli, don't make good recruitments in the transfer window, then don't be surprised if Inter Milan will win the Scudetto again next season.

That plan has been in place since last season but Juventus couldn't do much because of financial problems, you may remember the rumors last season when Juventus wanted Lukaku but Juventus did not have enough money to pay for it so they offered the option of bartering players and unfortunately the deal didn't happen well, for this season we don't know whether Juventus is still in financial problems or has fully recovered.

What is clear is that so far we have not heard that teams from Serie A are active in recruiting players in the transfer window the situation is still the same as last season, transfer activity in Serie A is lower I mean for high class players so we can't expect more regarding the competition in Serie A maybe it is still dominated by Inter Milan.

It is normal for a new coach like Antonio Conte to give new enthusiasm and new hope to Napoli who want to win again. You need to know that everything Antonio Conte says cannot give a guarantee that Napoli can win again in the coming season. I'd rather have a lot of action than have a lot of crap like that. Antonio Conte only needs to provide enthusiasm and understand the players' skills in order to find the right strategy to achieve victory in every match he faces.

Yes, it is normal, Antonio Conte is one of the successful coach from Italy. Antonio Conte won 3 Serie A trophy with Juventus and 1 Serie A trophy with Inter Milan. His ability is proven already in Serie A, so it makes sense if Napoli president is very optimistic with Antonio Conte.

Sure, there is no guarantee that Antonio Conte will automatically win the scudetto (Serie A title/trophy) in the next season. However, I'm sure Napoli will be a better team under Conte's management. He is one of the coaches who has a good characteristic and has a nice relationship among the players. I hope he can ensure Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia to stay in the club. He must plan to buy some top players to support Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia, and must strengthen Napoli again.

It seems difficult for Inter Milan to achieve the achievements that Juventus has done in dominating the Serie A title because in my opinion, in terms of DNA, the champion most likely to be able to match Juventus' achievements is AC Milan. But the problem is that AC Milan's performance in the last few seasons has been unstable. However, I am sure that next season the competition for the Serie A title will definitely be even tighter.

Inter Milan also has a championship DNA. With the current squad of Inter Milan, I no doubt that they will be able to defense their champion status in the next season. Moreover, the performance of Juventus, AC Milan, Napoli, and AS Roma are very unstable now. Those teams also have not really good squad. Among the top teams in Serie A, I think Inter Milan has the strongest squad. I assume the champion will be still Inter Milan, but maybe it won't be as easy as in the season 2023-2024.

Now Lazio already has Giovanni Martusciello as a new coach and hopefully this is the right step to achieve victory for Lazio. As you said above, the previous coach had a very different character and I really hope that Giovanni Martusciello doesn't repeat the same mistakes. like Igor Tudor and give a more positive impression and always win in every match they face. Lazio must take advantage of next season to provide its best performance for its fans which will start soon.

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.

I think Milan and Salernitana both teams played well and match was draw because no team did one goal above than other. I think  Milan team comparatively played well and they deserve the win but they they could no goal in last 10 minutes.  If they goal in last 10 minutes then  Milan could win the match. Leão performance was outclass and he remained at the top of team because his hits were on target and he passed the football very decently. Giroud also played well and his performance impressed the audience and audience enjoyed the match very well . From Salernitana side two players were prominent. Sambia and Nwankwo played well but they could not win due to bad luck and their mistakes in this match. This team should improve their skills to win the match against big teams. Otherwise,they will suffer in the future because many hard working teams will arise in future and competition will be tough.

If I understand correctly from reading articles around, Como should be a team that could surprise us in Serie A.
They have a considerable amount of money to spend and will have no problem buying certain things, if necessary. So I think they will stay in Serie A, at least next season.

In the previous two season, Como was always in the middle to lower level, but this season 2023/24 they performed very well and managed to become runners-up in Serie B until they were promoted to Serie A in the 2024/25 season, they experienced great improvement significant.
This should be an assessment that Como will be able to survive in Serie A not only for the next season but for the next several season.
But on the other hand, there are also several team that often get promotions but only for one season and are relegated again, so it clear that staying in Serie A is not easy, and Como they must really prepare their performance very well good.

By the way, over the past few season we have never seen team that has just been promoted and managed to show very good performance and be able to finish in one of the top places and compete with big, strong team that always dominate.
If this happens it could be very interesting and of course can provide big surprise that is very satisfying.

I think we are so focused on the players in football that we don't see decent coaches anymore. We keep coming back and watching the same names. Let's see who Lazio will bring to the team now.

Igor Tudor's dismissal was caused by a mismatch between himself and the club's management, and apart from that, as you said, because he failed to meet expectations in a team even though he had only coached Lazio a few months after replacing Maurizio Sarri, but that apparently wasn't enough to improve Lazio's performance to become better Good.

When talking about candidates for the next Lazio coach, it seems that Lazio is suitable to be coached by Allegri. Considering that Allegri has now been fired from Juventus, he is now free to join any team. Currently Allegri has two choices to determine his future, and according to rumors circulating he could move to Saudi Arabia or stay in Serie A by taking over as coach at Lazio. It will be interesting to wait, but personally I hope Allegri will continue to coach the team in Serie A and coach Lazio.

Sorry, if I'm not mistaken, Igor Tudor was the one who resigned from Lazio, so it wasn't Lazio who fired the coach and it's true that he left Lazio because of differences in vision and mission between Lazio and the coach and that made the coach think it was better to leave the club rather than not being trusted by the club to build it a better squad for next season even though since Igor Tudor's coaching, Lazio has recorded quite good results, managing to finish in the Europa League zone in 7th place and will play in the Europa League tournament next season, but not with the same coach who has brought this club to the in that zone.

Yes, hopefully replacement coach Igor Tudor can make good changes for Lazio next season and in accordance with the vision between Lazio and the coach, Igor Tudor's replacement coach is Giovanni Martusciello who is an assistant manager who has worked with Lazio in the last few seasons. Hopefully he can learn a lot from the previous coach to improve Lazio's performance this season. Even though he doesn't have much experience as a coach, he last served as head coach of Empoli in the 2016/17 season but unfortunately he didn't succeed in bringing Empoli to a good ranking and ended up in a less good place at that time.

Inter Milan scudetto winning this season very easily because have been the winner on game week 33 with many points difference from rival teams AC Milan, less competitor for stopping Inter Milan make it easily with seven matches left but Inter have secure the Scudetto and this season only had two defeated by Sassoulo.

Inter Milan finished standings place for season 2024/25 with 19 points remaining from AC Milan and its bigger difference points for Serie A teams with lack pressure from other team make Inter Milan easily become the winner of Serie A. Have been two season Serie A less interested when Napoli become the winner has many points with Lazio as 2nd standings position team, I think for next season want to see Serie A have waiting last game week to see the winner and not gap many points left on current standings place.

I agree with you that Antonio Conte has great potential to bring positive change at Napoli if given full freedom to form the squad he wants. Of course, losing a key player like Osimhen would be a big loss for Napoli because apart from his young age, Osimhen also has great quality, especially since Osimhen was once the top scorer in Serie A.

No doubt, Osimhen is a good player. Osimhen is among the top 10 strikers in the world right now. But when a club gets a new coach, the first thing the coach will do is to assess his players to see the ones that will not fit into his tactic so that he can get a replacement immediately to enable him to perform well. Already, Conto wants to bring Lukaka to Napoli, which I think will make Osimhen want to leave the club to sign for another club where he will be a regular starter.

If Antonio Conte brings in Lukaku as a striker for next season to play for Napoli, that does not mean that Osimehn will be less useful. Osimehn stats is way much better than that of Lukaku who has come of age now and doesn’t really have much time left to play football before he retires. I know Osimehn will want to change club and get registered under a new team, but he’s still valuable to Napoli if he stays back. I haven’t heard Osimehn linked to any team so far the transfer window, are they no big clubs interested in this striker or his release clause is beyond measure to be affordable by teams that will be interested? Leaving Napoli is not bad but if he doesn’t get a better place than Napoli to play for with more or same playing time, he should just continue with Napoli.

I don't see Lukaka as a backup striker; if not, Conte would go for a younger striker who still has more playing years ahead of him so that when Osimehn leaves Napoli, the striker will replace him. But for Conte, choosing to go for Lukaka, who has fewer playing years to retire as a professional footballer, means that Lukaka's style of play fits into his coaching style. Big clubs might want to secure Osimehn's signature late so that they will not get many rivals, who will make the buying price of Osimehn so high. If any big club indicates interest in signing Osimehn now, you will see that other big clubs will be interested in Osimehn, and the competition will make Napoli want to sell Osimehn for a lot of money because he is hot in the transfer window.
