Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[slapper]

Losing without reply from the German League team is indeed a little painful for Juventus, but we must also see that Juventus lost at the right time so that it can immediately use it as a lesson for further evaluation.

I think Juventus may likely end up like there previous season because right now nothing has been done on the club, I no that there last match with Fc Nuremberg was a pre season match but already Juventus has pass a message that they are still weak, so is very possible that most of the clubs will look down on them because they have failed to prove themselves, however looking at other clubs performance you will see that there upcoming season will be very good for them, perhaps we can see how consistent was AC Milan on there match against Manchester City, they actually surprised me because all my mind was that Manchester City will win but we can see how improved AC Milan has been, so is obvious they will be very competitive on this coming season.

Juve's A-team wasn't here. A lot of young bucks and benchwarmers ran out. Preseason is about tactic testing. Not the Champions League final. Motta is busy. These early games are vital to his team-building process. Every team has preseason ups and downs. It's not always easy

Other teams, like AC Milan stomping Manchester City... That's a wake-up call for Juve. They must improve to stay in the title chase. The key isn't simply buying big-name players, but assembling them on the pitch

Thiago Motta still needs time to adapt to his squad and vice versa, but such a crushing defeat should not have happened. Juventus have made several recruitments to add depth to the squad, in order to compete in the top four of the Serie A standings and go further in the Champions League.

I think the competition for the Scudetto next season will involve several teams such as Inter, Milan, Juventus, Atalanta, Bologna and even Roma

Well let's hope so because that losing against FC Nuremberg was actually very alarming for a club that wants to improve on this coming season, although I no that Thiago Motta is still getting use to the team and I'm not blaming him on that losing because the formation they use on that match was very okay and they were supposed to win the match but I blame most of the players that was very inconsistent on that match, however let's see if they would make amends on there next match against Brest and good for them they would be having a home advantage, so we expect them to correct there mistake by wining the match. However on the Scudetto next season you are right on the clubs you selected because those are the finest clubs on the league that has the best performance.

Juve's A-team wasn't here. A lot of young bucks and benchwarmers ran out. Preseason is about tactic testing. Not the Champions League final. Motta is busy. These early games are vital to his team-building process. Every team has preseason ups and downs. It's not always easy

Other teams, like AC Milan stomping Manchester City... That's a wake-up call for Juve. They must improve to stay in the title chase. The key isn't simply buying big-name players, but assembling them on the pitch

I am sure we did not see Juventus at full strength in that match. This was a pre-season tour and it was just a friendly match. There was no motivation to win the match. Some teams only played their B team or even just young potential players from the academy. There are many big European teams who try various tactics in pre-season matches. But they have to prove that they are a contender for the title when the league starts. AC Milan beat other big teams. This shows that they are very ready to be the champion of Serie A this season.

Inter Milan recently bought Mehdi Taremi from Porto to have a better performance in the net season however they won the Serie A title but it seems Inter Milan aims for higher targets and they don't want to lose their good form. That's why Inter Milan is about to hire another forward for the next season. It seems they want to hire Depay.
Depay asked for five million euros to play for Inter Milan which is a huge amount of money for any payer.

It is clear that Inter Milan will set a higher target after they managed to become champions last season, the first is they have a target to defend the title and the other is they want to talk a lot in the Champions League. So they are trying to build a stronger foundation than last season. In my opinion, Inter Milan is now the team that is most ready for next season. Apart from the fact that they managed to perform well last season, the players they have are also quality players, plus some additional players that will make them even stronger. I will not be surprised when they manage to defend the title, and I will also not be surprised when they show something extraordinary in the Champions League next season.

For me, Inter is the biggest hope in Italian football. I don't see any team that is strong enough or at their level. The closest one at one point last season was Juve, but when they lost to them to try to get to first place, Juve lost their focus and almost lost everything. So I think that this time the Italian teams have to concentrate on getting better I like Inter's approach. Of course, they have Inzhagui as a coach, and that's enough for me, but they are still trying to Improve and I like that.

Inter Milan Eyeing Move For Serie A Defender In 2025 – Italy Or Netherlands Veterans To Make Way

Inter Milan are reportedly laying plans in advance for the summer of 2025, with Jaka Bijol on top of their wishlist.

The Nerazzurri are currently searching the market for a new left-footed defender. The club’s owners Oaktree Capital who prefer a young profile who can serve as an understudy for Alessandro Bastoni.

But aside from this addition, Simone Inzaghi’s defensive department should remain intact for the upcoming campaign.

However, next summer could witness a more significant change, explains Il Corriere dello Sport via FcInterNews.

The Roman newspaper notes that Francesco Acerbi and Stefan de Vrij are both running on expiring contracts.

I have the same thought as you, this drama is almost the same as Mbappe's case but Osimhen has a different story because if there is another club that is able to spend a large amount of money, the player will definitely be released.
While in Mbappe's case, PSG is really defending its mainstay player.
Napoli's efforts will actually only make Osimhen even more uncomfortable and of course his performance will decline.
This is the same as Napoli's selfishness without thinking about the risks that will occur because Osimhen could give back to the club like Mbappe did to PSG.

It looks like Napoli is losing this game. This thing with Osimhen? Its a mess. Its like watching a bad reality show: very dramatic but not very interesting. They're waiting for PSG to give up so they can get a few extra dollars. Thats not a smart way to negotiate, people. Its dangerous, its not fair to the player, and its slowing down the whole team.
Ohsimhen is great. He needs to know the truth, and Napoli needs to move on. They need to finish the deal, get the money, and put it back into the team. No one is falling for it. Everyone knows that they need that money to build for the future. Dont forget that Osimhen could leave in 2025 without having to pay anything. They have a time bomb on their chest that is set to go off.

Napoli, enough with the games. Make a decision. Be decisive. Be leaders. Get this deal done, and move on. Its the only way to win.

Well honestly, Napoli does not want to be a leader at this moment. They want to either get a really good amount of money for Victor Osimhen
 or they do not want to let him go at all. I actually agree that it is very dangerous. The thing why it is still not a problem is because Osimhen is still not have fallen out with Napoli and he is probably still OK to stay at Napoli. That is the reason why they are probably still not taking it seriously and not showing that much urgency about selling him which they should be showing.  Osimhen will probably make a better decision if he actually actually leaves Napoli. But I guess he is not realizing that at this moment.

Depay asked for five million euros to play for Inter Milan which is a huge amount of money for any payer.

Although Depay could not reach an agreement with Inter regarding money, there are currently many clubs that want to transfer Depay to their team. I know that Galatasaray has also accelerated this action in recent days. I agree that $5 million is a high figure.

Inter may take another step in the future and complete the transfer, but it seems negative for now, but they have not completely closed their communication. Inter knows that they need good players to be champions this season and they want this, and they will progress accordingly.

Napoli is trying to do everything strategically and don’t want it to look like they don’t want him. On the other hand, they really wish he can be with them and continue with them. He’s really a valuable player and will still add more value to the team if he stays back. Lukaku they’re going after is not a long time project with Napoli because he’ll only stay there for a short time because of his age. Osimhen may not have been able to do more last season, but he still shows some determination that he’s going to do well in future. If he gets a move to another club it’ll be to his advantage because he’ll get more playing time and will be cherished more as a new player there. Leaving will also be at a big disadvantage to them because they’ll be pained if the new signing don’t as much as they expect from him.

[Velvet78]

Nice win by Milan against Manchester City in a friendly by the way.    But we need to take one thing into account that Manchester City had only a couple of main starters in this game like Haaland, Ederson. With full lineup, I don't think they would lose to Milan at all. There is a huge quality gap you know. But this would be some motivation for Milan players before the new season.

I'm curious about one thing when it comes to Milan. They have signed Morata okay but do they plan to sign another striker? Morata shouldn't play single. He should continue to play beside a productive scorer.

[Palakka]

Next season, if Oshimen still stays at this club, I am sure Napoli will compete fiercely with Juventus, Inter Milan and AC Milan in the title race, but if Oshimen leaves, I'm not sure Napoli will play well without him.

Napoli is very different from the previous season. They went down a long way. Indeed, after the champion and Luciano Spalleti left, there were several players who left. But even they don't seem to be much.  Worse they couldn't stay in the top 5. For next season, it is still very difficult to predict. There will probably be a lot of new surprises. Of course Osimhen is a good player, but if they don't have other players to support it, of course it will be a problem.

Indeed, I am also more confident that if Osimhen stays at Napoli and with that, it is still very possible that Napoli will return to being a team that is in the title race next season. Because after all, with Napoli's head coach is Conte who certainly has great quality too, then if Conte can maximize the potential that Osimhen has, I'm sure the results for Napoli will be good. But unfortunately, Conte prefers to bring Lukaku but yes,at least so far it is also only about discourse because after all, the issue of Osimhen departure is still not a reality.

But indeed, even though Napoli made a high price tag for Osimhen but anyway,  the fact is that Osimhen remains the target of other elite teams. Thus, the chance for Osimhen to leave of  course can still happen but it seems,it will not happen quickly. Because anyway, the proof is that until now Osimhen is still at Napoli, which proves it is not very easy for Napoli to sell Osimhen.

After winning the Scudetto in the previous season, Napoli experienced a slump last season which made them fail to defend the Scudetto and also failed to qualify for the Champions League next season, we cannot deny that Osimhen and Spalletti were the main factors in Napoli good performance the previous season, Osimhen was able to record himself as the top scorer as well as Spalletti who was able to maximize Napoli performance with the strategy and game scheme he implemented, so Spalletti departure made Napoli slump last season coupled with Osimhen being absent for a long time due to injury.
So it cannot be denied that Osimhen is the most important part of the team and they must be able to look after it well in Napoli squad, indeed  Conte arrival might give Napoli a lot of hope but not for Osimhen in my opinion, even though next season he will stay in the squad but it doesn't look like he will be Conte first choice if napoli succeed in bringing Lukaku from Chelsea.

You have just stated the obvious fact because if they really wanted to let go of osimhen, they wouldn't make it this tedious for teams that are interested in him with the huge amounts around the deal, they most likely want him staying back or want to make sure to get the most off his sales which is actually now making things really tough and difficult for the transfer to pull through. I don't think because osimhen is yet to fall out with Napoli is an indication he's okay with all that's happening or he's still considering staying back, last season he almost led at the transfer window amidst the season, so he's desire to leave has been built since but for some reasons he's yet to make a case out of that which is going on currently.

It is another struggling game in this Preseason, this is not good, especially considering the opposition.
But I agree, We need to relax. Allegri and Motta have very different styles of football, It will take some games for Motta to find the right formula in his Juventus team.
The more mistakes the team makes in the friendly matches, the better for Motta to work on them and rectify flaws.
Roll on the next pre-season game!

Napoli's performance will be quite fragile if they let go of Osimhen in this transfer market because he is one of the important pillars who is able to bring big changes to Napoli. However, Conte will start a new era by setting a new strategy and formation for this season because if Osimhen leaves, of course the management will have to look for a replacement who has the same qualities to maintain their quality this season.
Now, speaking of the transfer market, the Serie A team that is most active in hunting for players in this transfer market is of course AC Milan because they have succeeded in recruiting Morata and several other players are among their targets in this transfer market. Inter Milan is also the same as they want to make slight changes to their defense in the transfer market.

Considering the situation surrounding the future of Victor Osimhen, I think you're right with the your observation concerning the player's transfer saga. The truth is that both Victor Osimhen and Napoli wants to move on from each other and while Napoli has to decide when and how Osimhen leaves, they should also try and consider the career of the Nigeria international. Osimhen in his time at the club have defended the badge with his performances and now that the two parties doesn't want to continue with each other, it's best the club allows him to leave without demanding high fees they know no club will be willing to pay at the moment. Napoli wants Romelu Lukaku to be their main striker next season so it'll be a wicked act from the club management not to allow Victor Osimhen leave this summer by cutting down his release clause

You should understand that Napoli would love to keep Victor Osimhen but given the current situation. Big clubs are chasing Victor Osimhen. Do you think Napoli will be able to keep hold of their number one striker? Will Victor Osimhen agree to a contract extension with a club in decline? Napoli has realized that they cannot keep the striker, the wise thing is to sell him for a profit while they still can. Napoli should not stubbornly follow in PSG's footsteps by losing Kylian Mbappe for nothing.
Now in the transfer market, Napoli should quickly complete the Victor Osimhen deal, when they have money to easily recruit the players that Conte needs.

[Slow death]

It is true that Motta still has a lot of time to develop his game at Juventus but he cannot relax in this job at Juventus is very different from Bologna the pressure experienced at Juventus is also great so if he cannot take advantage of this Friendly match well then there is no place for him in the eyes of Juventus fans, because yesterday's match was really embarrassing they conceded 3 goals without reply from the second German league team really can't be normalized an incident like this, a club that used to be quite respected but now they are quite fragile, in my opinion Motta has a serious job in this friendly match.

Losing without reply from the German League team is indeed a little painful for Juventus, but we must also see that Juventus lost at the right time so that it can immediately use it as a lesson for further evaluation. Because there are also defeats at the wrong time such as defeat in a competition final, while defeat in a pre-season match is just a normal thing because Juventus can immediately make other steps that are quite different from before so that they themselves can also apply better ones when they are already in the next season.

I mentioned a few weeks ago that this new coach wouldn't change anything at Juventus. We just have to see that Juventus didn't make many signings. The squad is the same as last season. Some players may have left and others came in, but overall the squad hasn't changed much. So you can't expect to get good results this way. The old coach had a strategy of defending more than attacking, something that this current coach also did when he was Bologna's coach. So what kind of change did the Juventus board expect to get this way?

It just doesn't make sense. Juventus' management should have hired a coach with a long list of achievements and a coach who had ideas to dismantle the old squad and build a new, stronger squad. Even Milan is making some good signings and made a good choice when it came to choosing a coach. See the result of Milan's friendly match.



They managed to beat Manchester City, even though they are friendly matches, a victory is very important. In the first match they lost humiliatingly against Roma, in the second they drew against a weak team and yesterday they beat a strong team. It's funny that Milan has already played 3 friendly matches, but Juventus has only played 1 friendly match. Honestly, I don't expect anything big from Juventus next season. In my opinion, Juventus will be in the same situation as last season.


Roma are doing very well in friendly matches:

Roma 5 - 3 Milan
Fc Kosice 1 - 1 Roma
Roma 0 - 1 Toulouse

They only had one defeat, but interestingly enough, playing against weak teams they don't concede many goals. I hope that in this season that starts next month, Roma can get one of the places that qualify for the European Champions League.

[TelolettOm]

.....Meanwhile, I think the competition for the Scudetto next season will involve several teams such as Inter, Milan, Juventus, Atalanta, Bologna and even Roma. Milan actually also experienced a change of manager, just like Juventus, their performance is also questionable even though they are quite active in the transfer window. We'll see what will happen, whether Inter will be able to defend the Scudetto.

They are really trying their best to be top competitors in Serie A. However, if we look at the current squad composition, Inter Milan is still the favorite team to occupy the 1st rank. However, this is just a prediction, in the future, we will only know after several matches.

Anyway, Roma is currently more advanced in getting the mainstay player from Girona, Artem Dovbyk. The 27-year-old Center-Forward from Ukraine has previously received a personal agreement with AS Roma. And this time, negotiations between the clubs are ongoing. Roma dares to make its first bid, the possibility will be a package including add-ons, €35m.


Source: AS Roma have first bid ready for Artem Dovbyk,

Artem Dovbyk was able to gain the attention of many parties because of his extraordinary performance last season by becoming the top scorer in La Liga with 24 goals and 8 assists in 36 matches. So far, he becomes the most expensive Girona's player.

[Arenga pinnata]

Inter have completed their third pre-season match today and they are still unbeaten so far. Previously they managed to beat Lugano and Portegelesse, this time the Spanish club who became their prey was unable to move in front of Inter with a 3-0 defeat. I think coach Simone Inzaghi's preparation is getting more mature for Serie A next season and at least this can prove that his strategy is still going well without any problems.

In this match, the striker they just signed for free from Porto, Mehdi Taremi, recorded a brace and this proves that he is ready to be a mainstay in the attack line with Lautaro Martinez later. Don't forget their mainstay left back, Di Marco, also scored the third goal and at the same time as the closing goal of the match. Can't wait to see Inter and betting on every match they will play will make it easier for us to make money like what happened last season.

Inter Milan really showed their quality even though it was only in a pre-season match. And that is very different from other teams, which actually lost many pre-season matches. But Inter Milan still won even in pre-season. Well this is very good news for those of us who always bet on Inter Milan. Because we can still hope that they can make easy wins again in the coming season, just like last season. I always have no doubts when betting on Inter Milan. because they very rarely disappoint us in every match they play. Hopefully the good results in pre-season will continue until the real season starts.

Inter Milan are the most stable club in Serie A recent years and this summer, they just signed a new contract with Simeone Inzaghi. By securing future of the coach, they laid a first brick to move onward with him and avoid big changes in the coach position and tactics in the club next seasons. This will help Inter Milan to maintain their stability and can help them to improve performances more.

Result from a pre-season friendly match does not say too much but a good result is good actually. It helps Inter Milan to continue rest weeks of pre-season training and friendly matches with good sentiment. Inter Milan have good balance in their attack, midfield and defense areas and with a flexible and clever coach like Simeone Inzaghi, I expect Inter Milan to defend their Scudetto and play better in Champions League next season.

Napoli has big decision to make about Victor Osimhen. Other top teams want him so it is hard for Napoli to keep him. Osimhen might not want to stay with team that is not doing well. Napoli should not wait and lose him for free like PSG did with Mbappe. Selling Osimhen now would bring in money to make team stronger. It is good idea to sell him and use the money to build a better team. Napoli should do it quickly and get a good deal.
