Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[hahay]

Great news for lovers of quality football and even greater news for fans of the goalkeeping prowess of David De Gea. Before the report that David De Gea might possibly join Fiorentina this summer broke out, I was thinking the Spanish goalie was not gonna play professional football again after he failed to join another club one year after he left Manchester United. Though David De Gea haven't been playing professional football in the last one year, I have no doubt that he was still going to be good signing for Fiorentina. De Gea isn't just an experienced goalkeeper but one of the best we've seen in the English Premier League in last two decades and I hope he continues to perform greatly with his new club Fiorentina.

I missed this news, very good I would say for the quality of football in Italy. Also regarding the championship we can also include Fiorentina among the contenders in the Champions League area. Next season the battle will be very tough, there are so many teams competing for those places:
Inter, Milan, Juventus, Atalanta, Roma, Bologna, Napoli and Fiorentina!

Last season Fiorentina also finished in eighth place and thus, Fiorentina will play in the Conference League also next season. In addition, if I consider about the number of goals conceded by Fiorantina last season is not so good, because Fiorentina also conceded 46 goals in Serie A. But even so, if we compare it with Milan who finished in second place last season, the fact that Milan got a total of 49 conceded last season in Serie A, and it can still say that Fiorentina still has a good defense.

But indeed, the arrival of De Gea will certainly make Fiorentina's defense line will also become stronger. Because after all, De Gea is a goalkeeper who quite often also becomes the best goalkeeper in the Premier League when playing at Manchester United. Although Manchester United also did not manage to get the trophy, but in fact De Gea managed to become the best goalkeeper throughout the season. So yes, even though De Gea is no longer young, but with the experience and skills that De Gea has, it will certainly be highly expected for De Gea to be able and succeed in making Fiorentina get good results too next season.

Ladies and gentlemen, I am totally amazed by Milan's performances, I never expected this kind of performance.
I have to say that Fonseca is working well and I didn't expect these results, even if they are only friendly.
Well done, I'm happy for the Milan fans and not only that, we won't see a one-sided championship.

It's still a pre season games, and the first real test for Ac Milan has not yet come. I think the better if you're lowering your expectations to them. Im not saying Ac Milan was bad, but nothing to take from the Pre-season when they were against kids from the different clubs,

Fonsesca is still quite new in Ac Milan, and his real test is gonna start once Serie A will be starting soon.

I said this too, I said the performances are good and I didn't expect it.  But I also said that they are friendly matches and that we will therefore see the real test during the championship.

Obviously we cannot rely on these matches to understand how the team will fare in the championship.  They are batches of experiments.

I can't say no, because their performance is good in this pre-season match, but I agree that we have to lower our expectations of them. Pre-season matches are unpredictable matches, I mean sometimes they are good in pre-season but not in the competition, and there are also the opposite, they are bad in pre-season but they are good in the competition.
Now it is AC Milan's job to answer all of that, they have to answer that their performance in pre-season is a true picture of their performance in the competition. And the answer we will only get when Serie A starts. We have to be patient first to see their performance in Serie A or other official competitions.

AC Milan have been successful in all the matches they have played in the beginning of the season. In the warm-up matches AC Milan did not play against easy opponents but they played against tough opponents and they won. Although the strength of a team is not really known in the preliminaries, AC Milan's attacking style of play gives some idea that they will surely compete with Inter Milan next season. The teams of the Italian league are not very strong, that's why the competition with AC Milan and Inter Milan is high every season and one of these two teams becomes the champion. 

Last season Inter Milan were champions and AC Milan were runners up but there was a lot of difference between champions and runners up. Inter Milan won by a lot of points, on the contrary, Milan had less points despite being the runners-up. However, I think AC Milan will improve their performance significantly in the next season and they will have a tough competition with Inter Milan.

[Palakka]

Their first match is against COMO, a promoted club who is said to have made a lot of good signings in the transfer window this season. We can see how Motta's tactics will play in the first match. I expect a good performance from Juventus because I don't think anyone would have predicted COMO to win that match.

Como is actually an interesting team recently. Their main transfer policy has been like to sign some old but decent players. Pepe Reina is an example for that but he is 41 years old now.    Audero is a good signing for the GK role by the way. He would probably be the main GK. They have signed players like Varane and Belotti as well. Really great moves. Varane is the most valuable player in the squad by far.

On paper, of course one expects Juventus to win anyway. But so far I didn't see them ready for the new season. At least the friendly results tell us that. I would like to be proven wrong by Motta of course. Let's see.  

Como is currently a promotional team that has worked quite hard to strengthen their squad and so far they are the most aggressive team in bringing in 13 new players by spending a total of 40 million euros, although most of the players recruited by Como are free transfer and their are already old but we can't deny that they are still playing quite well so far and of course with the experience they have it will probably make Como quite strong next season, but apart from that of course we will see how Fabregas can maximize their squad in next season.

In 5 days the first match will be played by Juventus and Como, but if you look at the many changes and improvements made by the two teams at this time, it is certainly difficult for us to predict the results of the match, so far Juventus will be the favorite team in this match but not impossible if Como will surprise them in their first match later, especially now that we can't find the latest statistics and head to head meetings between the two teams at this time.

The Como team manager did some interesting thing in the signing because seeing the level of experience he brought into the team means he is ready to face any team in the league and despite the age of the players I believe he will still play some young players who will be guided by the experience has has brought in so far. The team has an experience goal keeper as you early mentioned, they have added a good defender whose age has not really affected his performance watching him play for Portugal, so they just need to have a sharp young striker and they are good to go.

Playing at away against Juventus I think it will be a very difficult game game for the home side regardless of the name of the club this is because the team struggled towards the end of last season to be among the top4 and in their pre season games i am yet to see a better team in terms of performance in them so the game is still going to be difficult for Juventus to win.

[slapper]

Actually when Daniele De Rossi became Roma's manager he was initially doing well for the club of which most football analyst were applauding his managerial experience than that of Jose Mourinho

De Rossi helped Roma to play more attacking, show more beauty football that matches with Roma's traditional style but in football, club need titles, not impressive performances without titles. I agree that De Rossi as a young coach, already shown his ability very well with Roma. If he can do better, Roma will have good chance to win titles with him and with good transfer budget spent in this summer, De Rossi will have a better team for a new season.

De Rossi is not an experienced coach. But he is talented. De Rossi is only 41 years old. Since De Rossi is not very old, he has been able to adapt himself easily to the players. And that's why he was able to spot the weaknesses within the Roma squad so quickly. He has also been able to increase the confidence of the players. This is why we saw good performances from Roma last season.

The Roma team is not weak. De Rossi is looking to strengthen Roma's attack this season. From this it is understood that we will see a change in Roma's match strategy in the coming season. And maybe next season Roma will not play defensive tactics. In friendly matches, we have seen Roma play attacking tactics. Hopefully next season Roma will be stronger with the help of De Rossi.

De Rossi's got big balls, I'll give him that. Making Roma a strong striking team? That's not even close to being enough to describe it. It looks like Dovbyk and these young guns could do well. But can De Rossi get them to work together as a team?

Roma did get better last year under De Rossi, but that was only for half the season. It's now time to act. Expectations are through the roof. This all-out attack plan? Dangerous. In the back, it leaves you open. But can De Rossi change? He's young and has a lot of promise

De Rossi is going to have to prove himself this season. Can he show that he's not only a great motivator but also a smart strategist? Rome: Can he take them to the next level? We'll see. The time is running out

Thiago Motta will end up making Juventus better, I have no doubt about it

I have many doubts, in my opinion he will sink Juventus. Because Juventus did not make any big signings and Juventus already had a great squad last season, I dare say that Bologna's squad last season was better than Juventus' squad last season. So with this great Juventus squad, I very much doubt that Thiago Motta will have good results in this new season.

we can't really consider that they would do that bad at all, because he is a good manager and he did so well with a much worse team last year, so that means we are going to see him with a much better team so we can say that they are going to end up. We need to consider that he is given something that is quite financially make some good moves too, they did alright but nothing great maybe they will do more. I am hearing that Chiesa is being up for sale, and if he is sold then we could see that maybe they can do fine in the end with that too, hence I think we could see them do fine.

As I said before, he had a better team at Bologna compared to Juventus, and now at Juventus he will have a bad team. It's not because Allegri was a bad coach that Juventus was bad, it's because the Juventus team was a very weak team and nothing was done to improve the Juventus team. As a consequence, Juventus has not been able to win the title for years.

I do think that Juventus will finish better than last year, doesn't mean they will win the title but I am sure that they are going to do fine compared to last season. I hope that we can do fine with betting at Serie A, that will not be all that complicated to bet on the big names, but we need to wait and see.

Honestly, I don't really believe that Juventus will be able to finish in second place. I see Inter and Milan fighting for first and second place.

And maybe next season Roma will not play defensive tactics. In friendly matches, we have seen Roma play attacking tactics. Hopefully next season Roma will be stronger with the help of De Rossi.

In the world of coaching, it could be said that De Rossi is still young as a coach. So he doesn't have much experience. But yes, he does have talent in this field. All of this was proven last season when he was able to make Roma get good results from the middle of the season to the end.

This time I am even more optimistic about the quality of attack that Roma will have. Last season they were strengthened by Lukaku but this season they have recruited one of the talented players they brought in from Girona who is also the top scorer in Laliga. He is Artem Dovbyk. And I'm sure Artem Dovbyk will make Roma a more productive squad.

It was a very good decision by De Rossi to add Artem Dovbyk to the squad. Artem Dovbyk is an underrated player. Artem Dovbyk doesn't get the credit he deserves despite performing well. However, Artem Dovbyk has scored plenty of goals in a Girona jersey. Roma's team is also quite strong. So we expect Artem Dovbyk to perform well with Roma as well.

There is no doubt that De Rossi is a talented coach. De Rossi is trying to strengthen Roma's attack. In the past seasons, we have seen Roma play a defensive strategy in most of the matches. But probably from next season Roma will play attacking strategy. Roma also played well in friendly matches. I expect Roma to finish in the top four of the table.

Even though I might expect a surprise from Como, it is difficult to predict that Como will be the favorite. And Como has indeed brought in many players. And they can be said to make faster moves than other teams. but the level of players they brought in was actually not a high enough level of player. It's just that their enthusiasm in building the squad deserves appreciation.

Some doubts regarding Juventus are also normal. but Juventus has better squad depth. So it is very likely that Juventus will still be favorites and win the match. So I think betting on Juventus is the wisest thing to do.

Wojciech Szczęsny terminate his contract with juventus today.
He is now a free agent and he will may join Monza or retire according to rumors.
So from the next game in 2 days, Juventus will have a new starter goalkeeper.

They still need 3 more players and only 15 days to take them.

However, I think AC Milan will improve their performance significantly in the next season and they will have a tough competition with Inter Milan.

It must be admitted that AC Milan journey in the pre-season tour was impressive, but personally I assume that the performance cannot necessarily be repeated in the official match later. The pre-season tour seems easy because there are no targets and pressures, each manager can freely determine the starting XI, without having to worry about the opponents they will face, that's what we understand. We know that AC Milan is able to beat heavyweight teams like Man City, Madrid and Barcelona in the pre-season tour, but if Milan faces these three teams in the Champions League next season, the final result of the match is likely to be the opposite.

The appointment of Paulo Fonseca as Pioli successor has changed AC Milan style of play a little, they look more aggressive, and that's good enough to overcome every challenge next season. The competition for the Scudetto will be more difficult than last season, I predict Inter Milan will no longer be alone in topping the Serie A standings. We are all certainly very curious about AC Milan performance when they have to compete with Inter Milan, Juventus, and Napoli in the top four of the standings. Not to mention if Atalanta, Bologna and Roma appear surprising, they also should not be ignored.

However, I think AC Milan will improve their performance significantly in the next season and they will have a tough competition with Inter Milan.

AC Milan drew against SK Rapid Wien, won the match with Manchester City, and lost the game with Real Madrid and Barcelona. So the only renowned club they won was City. From the above results, we can assume that their performance was average. The club has recruited players like Strahinja Pavlović, Emerson Royal, Álvaro Morata, Álex Jiménez and others to fortify the team this season. Paulo Fonseca the new coach of AC Milan is not new to the Italian League since he was once the coach of Roma where he led them to fifth and seventh position. He also had relatively impressive performance in Ligue One where he led Lille to fourth and fifth position and also guided them to the Europa League.

Inter Milan still has better chances of dominating the Italian League, since they were able to retain key players and also the best coach Simone Inzaghi. AC Milan will take some time to experiment with players and tactics but Inter has an already established team.

[Uruhara]

So from the next game in 2 days, Juventus will have a new starter goalkeeper.

They still need 3 more players and only 15 days to take them.

Wojciech Szczęsny has been at Juventus for almost 7 years. And actually Wojciech Szczęsny still has one season remaining if you look at the player's initial contract at Juventus. Because Wojciech Szczęsny's contract at Juventus is until the 2025 season. But an agreement has been made by both parties who decided to terminate the contract. And indeed there are rumors that Wojciech Szczęsny will retire after this. Because previously he was said to want to retire at this club. But actually I would still be quite sorry if he retired now. Because I think 34 years old can still be said to be an age that is still strong enough to survive and play much longer. And Wojciech Szczęsny has also received offers from two different clubs and from different leagues. the two clubs are Monza and Al-nassr.  But it seems that the two clubs failed to reach an agreement with the player. So many say that it is very likely that Wojciech Szczęsny will retire early.

[Troytech]

One important thing we must remember is that this season Inter did not make major changes and maintained the squad like last season. Inzaghi did not want to make these changes for the obvious reason that the Inter squad is still very ready to face the challenges this season. And regarding Martinez who is currently still surviving, it is actually a desire for Martinez who knows that with Inter, he can have a big career in the future and continue to develop his skills to continue to be able to join a big team in Europe.
A small number of people believe that this season Inter will not get the Scudetto title again because there are several teams that have made big transfers this season but for me, Inter Milan still deserves the title because the quality of this team's squad is still very perfect.

Inter Milan is still the favorite this season to win the Scudetto, I think it's appropriate because in terms of quality Inter Milan is still quite good and the reason they don't make a major overhaul is also quite reasonable because overall the strength of this team is still quite strong. And regarding several other top Serie A teams that are making major overhauls because they don't have the strong strength to be able to compete with Inter Milan, so it's a common thing and teams that make major overhauls also have no guarantee of getting their best performance.

In my own opinion Internationalize Milan is not the favorite to win the 2024/2025 Scudetto  because most team are getting more improve as time goes on so don't start predicting because your prediction might not be 100% accurate. you talking about club standard, Internationalize Milan is good but I think when we are talking about club standard you should be talking  Atletico Madrid because they have more potentials player than that of Internationalize Milan. This coming season there are clubs ready to take Milan down this season, clubs like Napoli, Atletico Madrid, Atlanta, Bologna Etc.

Literally expecting same results as that of last season repeating to the point the champions become maintained is such that isn't an easy one tho it's got every possibility in it nevertheless this season we see so much of players moving around by virtue of transfers of which I  feel will in a way help better the strength of many teams and may ruin that of others who did More of selling so the abilities around the series A will be a quite interesting and challenging one such that inter Milan may not retain their title as they are going to have better shaped contenders.

[arimamib]

Even though I might expect a surprise from Como, it is difficult to predict that Como will be the favorite. And Como has indeed brought in many players.

I think it would be too ambitious for Como to be the favorite as a team that is ready to compete at the top of the standings, even though they are able to take advantage of the opportunity to improve on a large scale in the transfer market, but look at other big teams who already have an extraordinary mentality. Promotion teams often give surprises, but if they are not able to maintain their level of play in every match then they will compete at the bottom of the table or compete to get out of the relegation zone.
Every season there are always lots of surprises like last season, but this season Juventus, AC Milan and Inter Milan are the favorite teams at the top of the standings. Moreover, Inter Milan's strength is already very strong with the tactics that have been prepared by Inzaghi. Also for Roma they are targeting a place in the champions league this season so there is a lot we have to look at before saying they are the favorites.

[Slow death]

I read this news:

AS Roma are still waiting to receive an official bid from Al Qadsiah — while Saudi club advanced in contract talks with Dybala.

Negotiations continue while value of Al Qadsiah bid will be crucial step to understand if deal gets done.

source: https://x.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1823707008195026950

I confess that I am shocked. Roma have already lost Lukaku, when they lose Dybala, the team will not have good results. When Mourinho arrived at Roma and became coach, one of the very good things he achieved was to sign Dybala and bring in Lukaku. I do not understand why Roma did not make an effort to have Lukaku permanently and now they want to sell Dybala, who is a great player who has contributed a lot to the team's good results. It is clear how well Roma plays when Dybala is on the field. I also do not understand why Dybala is agreeing to go to Saudi Arabia when he is still young, he is 30 years old and could play another 3 seasons in Europe and then move to Saudi Arabia. Unfortunately, he has been very unlucky with the Argentine national team. He does not even play in friendlies. It seems that the coach of the Argentine national team does not like Dybala. If Dybala leaves for Saudi Arabia, then he will hardly return to play for any big team in Europe.

[TelolettOm]

Como is actually an interesting team recently. Their main transfer policy has been like to sign some old but decent players. Pepe Reina is an example for that but he is 41 years old now.    Audero is a good signing for the GK role by the way. He would probably be the main GK. They have signed players like Varane and Belotti as well. Really great moves. Varane is the most valuable player in the squad by far.

Agree. Como is interesting team because they could show great performance in the last season and now they are building their team with some good players. Although they sign old players like Reina, Varane, Moreno, and Belotti but I think these players still can play with good performance. For a new team in Serie A, I think Fàbregas has nice squad. I think Fàbregas only target for the top 12, the current squad looks enough for the target. Well, let's see how Como can perform in Serie A for the new season.

On paper, of course one expects Juventus to win anyway. But so far I didn't see them ready for the new season. At least the friendly results tell us that. I would like to be proven wrong by Motta of course. Let's see. 

No doubt Juventus will win against Como. Juventus is in another level, their squad looks much better. However, it is good for Como to get an experience playing against one of the top teams in Serie A.

[Rustam Meraj]

Moreover, Inter Milan's strength is already very strong with the tactics that have been prepared by Inzaghi. Also for Roma they are targeting a place in the champions league this season so there is a lot we have to look at before saying they are the favorites.

I also think Como has small chance of being top team even if they can improve their squad. Big teams like Juventus, AC Milan, and Inter Milan have experience and strong mindset that helps them to win. New teams can surprise us but they need to play well consistently to avoid relegation. This season Inter Milan is strong because of their coach Inzaghi tactics as you already mentioned. Roma also wants to play in Champions League so we can not say Como is the favorite yet. They need to show they can play well all the time and have a deep squad to compete with the best teams.

[jaberwock]

Yes you are right Juventus last season had problems in their attack line and and looks blunt, I thought Juventus would make improvements in that section but it turned out Thiago Motta only recruited 2 central midfielders which I think is not really needed, Juventus needs a productive striker if they want to compete with Inter Milan and Milan at the top of the standings if they haven't fixed that don't expect them to be able to achieve better results than before.

In addition to having to get good strikers to improve the quality of the team's strength, the two central midfielders that Thiago Motta has recruited for Juventus actually won't be too bad for the Juventus team if the two players can help their own strikers in the Juventus front line. But for the strikers, the best will still be needed so that a team like Juventus can be superior in the midfield and front line because last season it was very clear that the line was indeed quite blunt so that Juventus was not very consistent in getting wins in Serie A.

They definitely built a good club, good enough to go for a title change. Many people are forgetting that Juventus went ahead of Inter last season, yes they did not finish that greatly but they did alright during the season but then got very bad, which should be very important case and I believe that we are going to face a lot of issues without a doubt. I know that it will not be simple, and I know that we are going to face some issues but that doesn't mean that we are going to be fine, it just means that we can make it work one way or another.

We need to believe that we are going to face something much more stronger in any other case, so it is not going to be easy. We need to bring that type of force and then keep it going instead of get worse during the season, if they do that then they are going to be fine without an issue. Hopefully we can make it work eventually and that should not be all that complicated, just need more depth in the squad.

We are all certainly very curious about AC Milan performance when they have to compete with Inter Milan, Juventus, and Napoli in the top four of the standings. Not to mention if Atalanta, Bologna and Roma appear surprising, they also should not be ignored.

The matches that took place were only warm up matches here no team gave importance to these matches so they performed as best they could and the most important thing here is that the players tried to keep themselves injury free. In the case of big teams you may have noticed that every team manager has not played any good players in these matches so that they don't get injured now. If there is a win or a loss before taking the field with such a team, I don't think such a win or loss will have any effect on any team in the main stage match. But I can predict that AC Milan can do well because their performance was a bit offensive and they also paid enough attention to defense in these warm-up matches.  

The main thing is that first a new season will start, each team will play a few matches and then predict how any team can do in the next season.
