Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

A very good start for Motta as the new Juventus ..

If Thiago Motta started well as Juve manager and they scored 3 goals without resistance against Como, then congratulations to him! But dont worry, Como is not a strong team: we will see Juventus versus real team.

While this is fair, under Allegri's Juve  that same Como probably would've dominated possession and created several chances. We are excited to have a manager who will encourage attacking football and allow players to express themselves. The excitement is more about the tactics and mentality more than it is about the win over a newly promoted team.

Atalanta got a great win against their opposition and their game improved a lot, but they are now top of the points table and they are the top scorers. Their season has started well and of course they will try to improve in every match in the race for the title. Juventus also played their first match brilliantly which led them to win with a remarkable score, their strong attack which was impressive. If they can follow up their good performances in Syria A then surely their results will be good towards the end of the season. The improvement of Juventus' current game is much better than last season if they can correct their mistakes and play better, and they will succeed to win the title. However, since you have bet for two teams and won, it is really a pleasure for you.

Atalanta shown their strength in a Super Cub match with Real Madrid and Lecce is far less quality than Real Madrid. This big win against Lecce helps Atalanta to have good start in the season which can be another successful season for a medium club like them. In this season, Atalanta will have opportunity to return to Champions League after several years playing in Europa League. Years ago, during Covid-19 time, Atalanta had an impressive adventure in Champions League and now they are ready to repeat it.

Juventus won their match and are sharing top position with three other clubs that all have three points after Day 1. At least they are going ahead Inter Milan, AC Milan and AS Roma for Scudetto competition.

Atalanta showed good strength and I wasn't surprised that they won Lecce with a good score line. It is good for them to get as many points as they can now that other big teams are still struggling to win. When the Champions league return thy are going to be having divided attention. Another thing is that Atalanta sold some of their good players they had last season without any convincing replacement so far. And with news that PSG are seriously making moves to buy Ademola Lookman from them, it be a hectic season for Atalanta if they let all these players go without replacing them. But watching them against Lecce they showed good performance and I think the coach knows what's he is doing.

Maybe even though Juventus is still under Allegri's coaching, Juventus might still be able to win against Como, which is just a club that has just been promoted from Serie B. But I also like how Thiago Motta has made Juventus' strategy and playing style feel more alive at the moment. And even Como is a club that doesn't seem to be able to do much to get close to Juventus' defense. All of this is thanks to Juventus' game which looks balanced between all lines. But I probably can't judge that Juventus have become better with Thiago Motta before they face stronger or equally strong teams this season. But so far I appreciate Juventus' performance.

This season is going to be more competitive than last season and we might even have a different team to be the champions of Italian league. Inter may not do well with how they played out a shocking draw yesterday, is their first game but it was too poor and now Atalanta are running the show with the highest goals so far with a clean sheet which I think will stand because their opponent doesn't have that force of breaking the defense to get a goal.
The visitors (Atalanta) are without their star boy Lukeman who is likely to leave the team but it doesn't affect them as they play with so much energy to get more goals, I feel this Atalanta side can make the top 3 teams on the log if the continue with this great form, still 0-4 and we might be expecting more goals before the end of the game.

I thought Lookman absence would affect them because he is expected to leave this summer, Atalanta has an impressive performance I doubt they will secure the three points at Lecce's home stadium because Lecce had been serious with their performance at the end of last season and defeated many of their opponents, so I expected them to bring the same energy into this season, but they were unable to get into Atalanta's home ground to score a goal. Atalanta had an excellent beginning of the season, scoring four goals. Atalanta began the season with the same power that they had last season, unlike Ac Milan, Roma, Inter Milan, and other top teams, which lost or drew their games. I don't expect the same club that won the league last season to win it again this season because other clubs are more serious about their games, but we'll see how the season goes on.

I believe the Lukeman case is as a result of them losing to Madrid, I feel he wasn't happy with that loss and if you check all these Italian clubs always have this one season wonder, that's they perform better in the first season and after that they become awful in the next season, I think that's another reason why Lukeman should leave but still he made a wise choice by leaving the side. The player needs a better club like PSG that are coming for him and I know he'll excel in the French league.
Atalanta need to continue with this form since all other big clubs are losing that strength of getting the job done, Inter Milan especially, they suppose to show why they are the champions of Italian league last season but they played a draw but that shouldn't be why we have to say they're going to perform badly, we just have to wait and even look at how the Atalanta side will play out their 4-5 games before we can say they're good to go.

Atalanta and Juventus made this first week look quite easy to deal with. Atalanta beat Lecce with a big score of 4-0 and Juventus also beat Como with a score of 3-0. And it was quite an impressive coincidence that the four teams that managed to get full points in the first week both beat their opponents by at least 3 goals. And all of them got a big number of goals. Verona has scored 3 goals, Lazio has scored 3 goals, Juventus has scored 3 goals and Atalanta has scored the most with 4 goals. Meanwhile, the other top teams seem to just have to be satisfied with sharing the points.

Juventus need to play better in this season and their task is nothing less than taking Scudetto from Inter Milan. They were supposed to win Scudetto last season when they only played in Serie A but they finally ended the past season not too good. This season is another challenging season for them to beat Inter Milan for lifting Scudetto after recent years losing it to Inter Milan, AC Milan, Napoli and Inter Milan.

They actually feel bad about their performances in Serie A recent seasons because before these failed seasons lately, they dominated Serie A in many years. From an impressive domination that lasts for 9 consecutive seasons to failures in latest seasons, it's big difference and it's bad that difference means worse results.

2011–12, 2012–13, 2013–14, 2014–15, 2015–16, 2016–17, 2017–18, 2018–19, 2019–20

Yes it's too early to judge how successful they would be for sure. However, we can be happy with the fact that we just don't sit back and let teams come at us. The mentality and tactical approach has changed to one that shows more confidence and belief. It also allows our players to be more themselves instead of just reacting to the opponents. That has been the biggest issue for Juventus over the last two years. They were constantly getting outplayed even when they scraped out wins.

[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'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?

That's why I said that the warm-up matches are not very important, Serie A drew AC Milan in the first match where the opposition was not too difficult for them. A team that beat a team like Manchester City in a warm-up match could not beat an easy team in the main stage. Earning a point at the start means falling two points behind all other teams. AC Milan must be very serious in the next matches as they have just played one match in the Italian league and still have all their matches to go. The day on which the second match is played should be considered as the final match for them and they should win that match by any means. If they can play every match with such importance, it will be easy for them to win against their opponents.

thats true. And when season began Every team actually has to feel more strongly that every match, whether at the start or not, has to be the most important match. Because losing points at the start will only mean they have to catch up in the next match. But results that are difficult to predict at the start of the season are quite common in every season. And a draw is also not a bad result compared to a team dropping points. AC Milan and Inter Milan both only got 1 point and that is still quite good compared to Napoli who still haven't got a single point. In fact, they actually suffered a crushing defeat by Verona.

In the second week, all teams will definitely play more seriously and I think the top team will ultimately be the team that wins and gets full points. Because it would be very difficult to believe if AC Milan and other favorite teams could only get 1 point back in the second week.

Not only that, but when losing points at the beginning of the season makes the spirit and confidence of all players decrease and all of that can cause players to lose their best performance.
In the case of Napoli compared to Milan and Inter Milan, it is indeed very far because initially they appeared with Osimhen and now the club is appearing without Osimhen which makes the performance of the attack line less strong.
At the beginning of the season it is indeed very difficult to predict but if Napoli continues to experience a decline in performance losing points in the next 5 matches, Napoli will definitely be out of the title candidates this season.

[Pandu Geddon]

At the beginning of the season it is indeed very difficult to predict but if Napoli continues to experience a decline in performance losing points in the next 5 matches, Napoli will definitely be out of the title candidates this season.

I believe Napoli no longer has the qualifications to compete for the title this season. Last season alone, their performance had already declined. Last season Napoli had to finish in 10th place in the standings. Not a good position because they were previously champions.
Now they have started the season badly, and I am sure it will not be much different from last season, or maybe even worse.

Seeing the match against Verona, which was even below Napoli last season. And now they have slaughtered Napoli 3-0. Playing very dominantly with ball possession, but easily throwing away opportunities to score. Clearly, that is a hard blow to the mentality of Napoli players.

[Sg4j1n3ll0]

a great strong performance from juventus who have proven to be the team to beat this year let's say that the first match was a test to actually see the conditions of juventus but I must say that thiago motta played some good football and above all given space for the young people who repaid him in a big way!

[bitLeap]

Juventus and Atalanta started the match very well, successfully collecting their first 3 points, while Milan and Inter were unlucky because they had to end with a 2-2 draw. On the other hand, the Napoli squad was thirsty to bear the shame of losing to the Verona team 0-3 without reply. Maybe this is a congratulations for kicking Victor Osimhen from the main squad. So don't be surprised that this club has lost its best performance, there is no 100% guarantee that Napoli can finish in 5th place at the end of the season. Too early? right but that's my personal estimate

Yes, Juventus was able to collect full points very convincingly but that is not at all a benchmark for them, especially since the opponent they faced was Como, a team that had just been promoted. However, I still hope that the Bianconeri will continue to maintain their good performance and Thiago Motta will really be able to formulate a good strategy in order to compete again at the top of the standings.

It is early in my opinion to say that Juventus has proven anything by winning against a team that just had promoted from Serie B and expected to return there by the end of the season.
The only positive thing about this match was the number of goals scored by Juventus. They rarely score more than 1-2 goals usually, so 3 goals was a good start indeed regardless for how weak their opponent is.
In the other hand, the next two upcoming matches will be interesting for Juve, facing Hellas Verona away then Roma home. We will see how good they are and how serious they are to overtake the title this season.

[bastisisca]

What a match! Genoa team performed well today. I'm sure most gamblers bet Inter Milan to win this match. Because the Inter Milan team is very strong, and this team is the most favorite to win the title. So no one thought that the Inter Milan team would fail to get full points in the first match.
--snip--

The first match doesn't mean anything, even if Inter's defense disappoints a little. However, this is still the first day with important advances, nothing serious in my opinion. It is clear that, if the trend continues, Inzaghi must worry and remedy it as soon as possible.
I think he won't have these problems.

you are right, Such a result in the first match is not surprising. But we all expected to see a better performance from Inter Milan. It goes without saying that Inter Milan's overall gameplay was poor. Inter Milan played well enough. But in this match it is well understood that there are several problems in the defense of Inter Milan.

Coach Inzaghi should now take appropriate steps to strengthen Inter Milan's defense. Dominating Serie A will be difficult if the defense is not strong. Inter Milan's midfield and forwards are strong. But Milan's defenders will need to perform better if they are to continue their winning streak in the Champions League and Serie A.

True, Como is not the toughest test for Juventus, but I am glad that they started this season so well, it would have been worse if they could not win, or only get a minimal victory. In addition, only a few teams were able to win, Milan, Inter and Napoli lost points. In the next round, Juventus will go to Verona, and it will be good to see what they are capable of, after Verona left Napoli no chance, if they can get a win, then we can say that Motta was able to lead the team out of crisis.

I don't want to praise Juventus too much because their opponents are a new and weak team so not too surprised by the 3 goal win. To see Juventus chances of winning the title, we have to wait until Juventus plays against AS Roma or Napoli next month well, here their abilities will be tested if Juventus can beat these 2 teams then they are worth considering. By the way, I was a little disappointed with AS Roma first match they only drew against Cagliari even though previously we had high expectations, but yeah maybe some new players still need to adapt because sometimes it's not easy especially with the mental burden as a mainstay player. Based on the match statistics, it seems that both teams played aggressively, but their shooting accuracy was weak of 15 shots only 2 on target.

In the game between Lecce and Atalanta, Atalanta has a strong attack, and they lead by 4 goals. It's almost the end of the game, but so far the opposition has not been able to attack with Atlanta and score a goal. An impressive win in today's match will certainly see the team move to the top of the points table as they have scored the most goals in the season opener. Two players scored great goals for you, both scored two goals each to take the team to victory. Moreover, those who bet in favor of Atalanta in today's match will be successful in winning their bets.

Goal 0-4
Marco Brescianini ( 35')
Mateo Retegui  (45')
Mateo Retegui (57')
Marco Brescianini ( 66')

Atalanta football team did well in this match and did 4 goals in this match and that team won the match easily one handed. All players of Atalanta football team played well in this match and the result of that match was in the favour of Atalanta team. They did 4 goals in comparison of 0 goal and match was totally one sided. U.S. Lecce defenders could not stop the goals and they didn't try well in this match. The possession percentage of Atalanta team was good and their percentage was 53 percent and they gave more passes and their mostly shots were on target. The pass accuracy was also good and we should appreciate to the players of Atalanta team because their future is looking good.

Juventus and Milan got unlucky this weekend too.
But I think it is pretty normal haveing this kind of problem.

Weah and Thuram got injuries and they will be out atleast 10 days.
Morata is broken too, but he will be out for 20 + days,
