Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Hurley27]

Almost all matches that I thought would be matches that were easy to predict turned out to be matches that produced unexpected results. Too many draws at the start of this season. But yeah, that's still quite good compared to Napoli who had to lose 3 points. And not only that, Napoli must also feel embarrassed because they lost 3-0 to Verona. But Lazio so far they are playing according to what is expected of them.

The remaining matches are Lecce vs Atalanta and Juventus vs Como. And I probably won't bet this time. Because I still feel surprised by all the results in other matches.

Although this is not the first time in one week there have been many draws. But it's quite rare for that to happen at the start of the season. Usually it happens at the end of the season. And as we know, at the end of last season in Serie A there were always lots of draws. But I also didn't expect it to continue until the start of this season.

Many are disappointed with some of the results of this week's matches. But for those who bet on a draw I think this is their lucky week. In several matches I also sometimes choose a draw. But most of the time I always don't succeed.

In the remaining matches I think I should bet on the clear favorite teams, namely Atalanta and Juventus. Because in my opinion there is no reason for Juventus to lose when playing at home and a draw might not happen either. My doubts might be in the Lecce vs Atalanta match. but yeah, I still believe in Atalanta.

100% agree on Juventus winning today. Should come out and make a statement against newly promoted Como with new manager Motta. Douglas Luiz should take Juventus midfield to another level and Yildiz will be looking to take over the reigns this season with no Chiesa or Soule. Excited to see how Juventus performs today

It is one of the worst starts for Napoli.    Losing 3-0 to a team like Verona? I wonder how they can be this bad. I mean the season has just started but you can't be this bad with that squad anyway.

We didn't see Osimhen even among substitutes. Napoli is determined to sell him as soon as possible as it seems. But if they don't agree with Chelsea on a deal then I'm curious what they are planning to do. Saudi Arabia would be Plan B I assume. Let's say they couldn't sell him then he shouldn't stay out of squad. Conte should start giving him chances in that situation. Because they don't have a striker left like him in the current squad now.

At first I thought Napoli would win this match, because since the whistle signaling the start of the match was blown they immediately dominated the game and even in the first half they did not allow Verona to score a goal. At the beginning of the second half the same thing still happened, they still dominated the game. But surprisingly Verona was able to steal a goal in the 5th minute of the second half. they could not be creative in the front line so they could not create opportunities that resulted in goals. Instead of being able to equalize, they actually had to concede again in the 75th minute, and at the end of the match they had to concede again so that Verona could lock in a landslide victory with a score of 3-0. This is a bad start for Napoli, yes they must fix it immediately.

This defeat showed that Napoli will be below expectations this year because they conceded three goals and could not score. What does this show us? Napoli are weak in attack and weak in defense. Therefore, reinforcements to the team should continue before the end of the transfer window. If they have to sell Osimhen for this, I think they can sell him for a reasonable price. Letting him go to another team would probably be the right thing to do. Because with the money that will come, they can transfer good players.

Antonio Conte debut as Napoli new coach began with a very embarrassing defeat, Napoli was surprisingly slaughtered by Hellas Verona with a big score. Napoli played well and kept the score 0-0 in the first half, but they lost their direction in the second half which made it easy for Hellas Verona to score. Antonio Conte got a hard slap in his first match, he must be more focused in the next match because his appointment as head coach is expected to improve Napoli quality. He must immediately find a solution to the mistakes he has just made, his team is still very weak in all lines, a strategy overhaul needs to be carried out to get maximum results.

Although I actually like Como who is coached by Cesc Fabregas. But I have to choose based on the quality of the squad where it is clear that Juventus will be superior. In addition, the position as host will have a better mental impact on the Juventus players. Motta, as the new coach at Juventus, definitely does not want his debut at the start of the Serie A season to end badly. And in pre-season, many people actually doubted Motta because Juventus didn't get good enough results in pre-season. In fact, I saw that Juventus did not win in all the pre-season matches that have passed. but I believe that in more serious matches like in Serie A this first week we will see the true quality of Juventus coached by Thiago Motta.

[Frankolala]

It's not the start of the season I imagined but at least Inter, AC Milan and Roma gave fans something to hold on to with the one point they were able to achieve, unlike Napoli who lost woefully to a side that won less than a dozen times last season. The way I see it, the contention for the title won't be reserved only for the likes of Inter, AC Milan or Juventus as the case may be but rather more teams will join the race and surprisingly, it won't be the teams we expect.

Almost all matches that I thought would be matches that were easy to predict turned out to be matches that produced unexpected results. Too many draws at the start of this season. But yeah, that's still quite good compared to Napoli who had to lose 3 points. And not only that, Napoli must also feel embarrassed because they lost 3-0 to Verona.

The remaining matches are Lecce vs Atalanta and Juventus vs Como. And I probably won't bet this time. Because I still feel surprised by all the results in other matches.

This is be why it is called football because it is full of surprises. It is a shame on Conte and his new formation with the players that he has chosen to be his squad because this is a bad start for Napoli with him being the coach. I hope he knows what he is doing if not it might be that too much was expected from him and it became the other way round.

Atalanta should be able to win Lecce but with the way the weekend matches went maybe we might see something different from our initial thoughts but all the same, the season Ave just started and some clubs are just seeing their loop holes and I believe that it will be closed.

[DaNNy001]

Napoli did gave a disappointing start especially if we put to consideration so much all the expectations that have been kept in mind for them much long before now, the race title this season is very likely going to take a very different shape from the regular if we look at the recent happenings around the first games of the season, even inter may have some challenges along the way and for Juventus, tho they have given an unseeming start but it still doesn't look convincing to me because they didn't do much during the transfer before the season and their performance aswell isn't showing like one with much improvement for which we should be looking forward to something ahead.

Napoli is overrated because they recruited Conte as their new coach, those high expectations are very wrong in my opinion because it is not easy for Conte to improve the performance of a team that has slumped.
3-0 defeat is very embarrassing in my opinion.

And I highlight Napoli's front line, without Osimhen it looks like the front line is not playing optimally even though they made several dangerous attacks but none of their front players are able to carry out the objective to convert into goals, that is a deficiency that Conte must immediately resolve in my opinion and the Osimhen transfer drama must also be resolved immediately and Napoli must recruit a new striker if they are indeed no longer able to maintain Osimhen.

I don't really know what's wrong with this team but their defeat was a really disappointing one and who would have taught that the same team who won their league few years would be struggling like this and they have fucked up with the personal rating of the striker osimien because a team with poor performance will reduce the effort of even the best player because football is a team sports and with all that have transpired with osimien and Napoli selling him off now that the value is still big won't be a bad idea at all.

Napoli losing 3-0 isnt exactly the dream start we envisioned with Conte at the helm. Its one game, folks. ONE. Even the big boys like Inter and Milan stumbled out of the gate. Serie A is barely past the starting line. Now, about that attack... Yes, Osimhen's absence is felt. But its not just about him. The whole squad needs to gel with Conte's system.

Look around the league. Roma barely scraped by Cagliari. Everyone's still figuring things out. Conte's got a big reputation, and that comes with big expectations. But Rome wasnt built in a day, and neither is a championship team. So lets give it some time. The real test is how Napoli responds. Do they fold under pressure, or do they come back stronger? Thats what separates the winners from the wannabes.

[Fuso.hp]

No doubt, AC Milan's started well. Victory over City? Impressive. But those Real and Barca losses? They showed flaws. Preseason has limits. Despite his good record, Fonseca faces a tough challenge. It will take time to assemble Milan's team.

Under Inzaghi, Inter is stable. That constancy Milan wants is there. Milan has some interesting new players, but its about how they fit in. Look, I want Milan to succeed. Great club with a deep history. But this season's gonna be more about building and finding their footing. Inter is stable and experienced. Potential doesnt win championships for Milan. It requires effort, devotion, and luck.

AC Milan basically won against Manchester City in the warm-up match and usually nothing depends on the result of this match but Manchester City is a big team and a win against this team boosts the confidence of every player in the team as it might have happened with AC Milan. AC Milan have been the talk of the town for performing like they did before the start of the season. There is no chance to say that AC Milan performed very well in the Italian league last season, then they did not make any significant changes in the new season, so it is assumed that their performance will not change much in the upcoming season. But if there is a good understanding with every player in the team, then I would expect AC Milan to perform very well even with a relatively weak team.

AC Milan's 2:2 draw against at San Siro stadium over the weekend is one of the reasons I don't take the results of preseason games serious. For a club that defeated Manchester City who happens to be one strongest teams in Europe, most people were expecting AC Milan to easily get the better of Torino but that didn't materialize as the away team twice came back to snatch a point from the game. AC Milan manager Paulo Fonseca oversaw his first competitive game for the club in that game so I believe he can improve his tactical approaches to games which is likely to get them better results going forward.
The Italian Serie A just kicked off and I don't think it's sane enough to write off AC Milan's ability to win it or do you think they're not capable enough to compete with the other top teams in the league for a chance to win the scudetto at the end of the season?

[Sg4j1n3ll0]

today is the big day for juventus who will decide how to start their championship with a new coach like thiago motta, a new team and new members of the club, there has been a lot of talk about the church which in fact will not be present I think... for this debut, so everything to see I always hope for an excellent debut for Juventus and for the rest we wait

[Out of mind]

In the Italian league, Lecce and Atalanta will meet two teams of the new season today. We know Atalanta are a great team, although they didn't do very well in the Italian league last season, they won the Europa League. So we can definitely confirm Atlanta's win against Lecce in today's match if they can attack strongly and improve their opening match of this season. However, every team wants to improve their start and if they try to perform well enough, I think Atlanta team will definitely win today's match. And Atalanta will be the favorites this season, however, after their excellent performance in the Europa League, which saw them beat the mighty Bayran Leverkusen to win the title. So we can expect that this season they will definitely perform well in the Italian league, and they will be strong enough to win the championship.

Napoli are likely going to be far worse than what we saw last season because its beginning to look as if they might still be struggling with the trauma of the previous season. Everybody expected Napoli to get a comfortable win in their season's opener but the reverse was the case and they couldn't even get a consolation goal after conceding all 3goals, that will show you how defensively helpless they were in that game, not only were they helpless behind they also couldn't press forward thereby giving the home side the leverage to keep attacking them often times and wrecking much havoc in the Napoli defence althrough the match.

[Slow death]

Serie A is really surprising from all the matches only Verona and Lazio managed to get 3 points.
While other popular clubs only get 1 point and worse Napoli was defeated by Verona without resistance and conceded 3 goals will be a very bad start for Napoli.  
The beginning of this season can be said that the Serie A competition is very competitive but it can also be said that most of the top clubs have experienced a decline in performance which should be very much considered by each coach and must improve the situation in the next match.

After this incident I bet randomly without siding with the favorite club to avoid surprises that occur and from my point of view as a gambler, I choose Camo to score more than 0.5 because I believe this will be a surprise at least 1 score and on the other hand the odds are very high making me more excited to bet on this club.

Juventus has been a team with a good defense, and it is true that Juventus has changed coaches, but looking at the new coach, I see that he has the same strategies as the former Juventus coach, that is why I expect to see Juventus strong in defense and weak in attack and that for this game Juventus will focus on scoring 1 goal and then strengthen the defense so that they leave the game with a victory without conceding a goal, on the other side we have Como who is a team recently promoted to Serie A and who made many new signings such as having signed Raphaël Varane but who is injured and it is not known when he will play again, they also signed Andrea Belotti and other good players. This game against Juventus will be a big test for Cesc Fabregas, if he manages to win this game then he would be showing that Como has a chance to finish in a good position in Serie A, but also if Juventus loses then the fans and the Juventus management will start to not have many expectations about Thiago Motta

Not only talks ongoing for Romelu Lukaku with Chelsea on separate story from Victor Osimhen.

Napoli are also working to get Brighton’s green light on Billy Gilmour deal.

If #BHAFC close Matt O’Riley deal with Celtic, Napoli will be ready to proceed with Gilmour.

After Napoli lost in a humiliating way in the game against Verona, they need to hurry to improve the squad if they want to have good results

[snipie]

Juventus will face a team that just promoted to Serie A and is weaker than them. Even their odds are way better. Unless Juve want to ruin their reputation another time, then their victory is pretty sure.
What makes me a little bit nervous about the first rounds of every league, is the random results we see each season. In Serie A, all matches ended with a draw except the ones including Lazio and Verona. Even Inter, Roma and Milan ended their games with a draw!

Juventus will play today against a team that most of us don't even know. I have never seen any Como club match live in the past. The team is lucky to have qualified for Serie A. And Como's sole aim this season is to stay within safe distance of the relegation zone.

I don't think Juventus will make any mistakes against a small team like Como. Juventus is a strong team and they will definitely fight for the Serie A title. However, Juventus' attack is a bit weak. Juventus added Luiz and Thuram to the squad to strengthen the midfield. But the club added an experienced scorer. However, beating a team like COmo is not a difficult task for Juventus.

[hahay]

In the Italian league, Lecce and Atalanta will meet two teams of the new season today. We know Atalanta are a great team, although they didn't do very well in the Italian league last season, they won the Europa League. So we can definitely confirm Atlanta's win against Lecce in today's match if they can attack strongly and improve their opening match of this season. However, every team wants to improve their start and if they try to perform well enough, I think Atlanta team will definitely win today's match. And Atalanta will be the favorites this season, however, after their excellent performance in the Europa League, which saw them beat the mighty Bayran Leverkusen to win the title. So we can expect that this season they will definitely perform well in the Italian league, and they will be strong enough to win the championship.

Basically Atalanta has a good winning result too when playing against Lecce and moreover,  Atalanta is also still in its best form at this moment. So, even though Atalanta will play away but still, it is not surprising that Atalanta remains the favorite team in this match. Although indeed,I also realize that defeating Lecce will not be easy at all, because Lecce is also not a completely weak team. Therefore, Atalanta still have to play with their best efforts and not  underestimate Lecce, because if Atalanta underestimate Lecce then it is still possible for Atalanta to fail to win.

But indeed, I am also sure that Atalanta will win and I do not hesitate to bet and choose Atalanta to win in this match. Because I personally still really believe Atalanta is still able to get goodresults even though it is not easy, but basically Atalanta also has a quality that is certainly better than Lecce. Therefore,I still believe Atalanta has a goodchance to win in this away match.

[hyudien]

4 matches that have been played in the first week of Serie A, interestingly from the 4 matches no team won because they had to draw. Inter Milan who were favored to win the match, they had to bury their victory when there was very little time left because Genoa was able to create a reply goal in extra time. That must have been very painful for them.

Likewise, the city team with them who last season became runner-up AC Milan. Even they had to struggle to save themselves from defeat because they had to wait until extra time to be able to create a reply goal. Torino who appeared as the away team could play well in this match so that they could make AC Milan have to work harder to avoid defeat. Looking at the first 4 matches in the first week, this gives the impression that we will see a very interesting competition in Serie A.

I also noticed that all the matches ended in a draw, first I was surprised by Inter, who could not hold on to the victory in the match with Genoa, a penalty in extra time, and the loss of points in the first round, this is bad and I thought that Milan would definitely take advantage of this at home, but everything turned out differently, and instead they had to save the game at the end of the match.

Are we expecting victories from Napoli, Roma and Lazio today?
I think that Lazio will be able to beat the newcomer to Serie A, Venezia, at home, this is perhaps the only match that looks more or less clear. I think it will not be easy for Roma, but they have a very good chance to start this season with a victory, and immediately gain an advantage over Inter and Milan. De Rossi has a good team, they have strengthened the attack, so I expect goals from Roma and a victory.

What you expected from AS Roma in this match could not be realized because they played a goalless draw when they visited Cagliari's headquarters in the first week. Both teams played a balanced game, although in this case AS Roma played a little better, but that was not enough to make them win. Cagliari could provide quite a tough fight to AS Roma.
Meanwhile, in another match, outside of predictions Napoli had to suffer a defeat with a fairly heavy score, they lost 3 goals without reply from Verona. I could not think at all that they would lose in that way. This is something painful for Conte, because in his first official match, the team he led had to lose to a team that was actually not favored either. This result made him have to rack his brains so that his team could be better in the next match.

[len01]

2 very silly match and the favorite team is really very bad. Lol
Now we all know that Osimhen role is very important for Napoli and also Lukaku role is important for Roma. Without these players, both of these top teams are unable to get something impressive this season. Luckily I didn't bet on Napoli but it was very unlucky to bet on Roma to win.
Antonio Conte and De Rossi this time have a very complicated problem getting bad results at the beginning of the season. Maybe Roma is not too bad but Napoli really need to improve their attack and defense.

[SUPERSAIAN]

The strongest clubs in the Italian Serie-A league started the new season with a loss of points lol. I don't understand Napoli, they made it through a season once and then never showed the same desire and dedication again, I'm not talking about a single match, I'm adding the last season as well. They still have many players from that season, I don't understand what's going on.

[TelolettOm]

The worst and most embarrassing club is indeed Napoli. This is Conte's debut, but the defeat was 0-3 from Verona, it was very embarrassing.

unfortunately the coach did not use Victor Oshimen in this first match they should have used a productive striker in important matches they also have to take advantage of the opportunities this season because they do not have UEFA matches.

The issue related to Osimhen's transfer is Napoli's current problem. Napoli, through the CEO, they do not like this condition because it makes Napoli's condition unclear. While the Osimhen transfer market is really deadlocked. On the other hand, Napoli needs money immediately to sign Lukaku, but that should be obtained from the sale of Osimhen, and that has not happened yet. So, Conte also has problems in preparing players.

And because of this defeat, Napoli actually criticized Osimhen's management regarding the lack of movement in the transfer market, which created obstacles for Napoli.
