Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Awaklara]

If we understand Napoli's condition better, it's not really a matter of adapting to Conte's strategy, but Napoli's slightly weak defensive performance and it's not certain whether it will last temporarily or whether it needs a change of players.
Although some people still believe that Napoli's defense is not bad, Napoli should have put up a fight against Verona or at least hold a draw.
We can see real evidence that conceding 3 goals is not something small, except 1-0, maybe that makes sense and indicates that Napoli's performance is quite good.
Indeed, this is only the beginning of the season, but we'll see later if they still perform badly against Bologna, I think there is something that needs to be fixed in Napoli's defense.

besides the problem in the defense line, I think the transition when attacking to defending that Napoli implemented was not successful. there was a delay in filling the gaps left when they tried to attack. while they also had problems in finishing.
Conte has a lot of work to do in the Napoli team. it will take time and will not happen in a short time. replacing some players may be a short-term solution, but the coordination of the game between players must be trained much longer.

As has been revealed, there is a former senior Barcelona player, Sergi Roberto, who is already full of experience and his position in the back line is very good to improve Como's defense. Then there is a Real Madrid academy player, Nico Paz, who wants to increase his playing minutes in Italy considering that it will be very difficult for him to compete in the main team if he is still at Real Madrid. Then there is one more player from Manchester City, Maximo Perrone and honestly I have never heard of this player.

I saw this news from Fabrizio and I feel it's good news for Fabregas. His team is newly promoted and they do not have the experience or finances to compete with the elite in the league, so I'm not expecting them to win the league or be among the top teams, but they can be a midtable team or just a decent team.
With the addition of Sergi Roberto, I think that can be possible. He's an experienced player who is also good for a midtable club. He knows how to drive the ball into the final third. Nico Paz is also an okay player, I've not watched him but I've seen clips of him and he may be a good addition to Fabregas.

and we start again with the championship and with my usual hot bets, here is the first of this season

[giammangiato]

• Inter Milan - Lecce i will bet on Inter Milan
• Fiorentina - Venezia i will bet on Fiorentina
• AS Roma - Empoli i will bet on AS Roma

In my opinion these are easy games, at least I think so. I hope that after the slaps Inter show character and win against Lecce, Fiorentina and Roma should win their respective matches easily, at least I hope so. The championship starts with a bang.

It surprises me that i rarely saw people talked about how juventus destroyed Como.



Juventus destroyed Como by a huge margin. And it makes us look miles ahead of a weaker opponent. And it's not the same as last season when we played equally against a weaker team. I feel optimistic about Juventus's team. I think we can compete for the title this season. And our midfield played far better compared to our pre-season games.

Juventus played differently in this game. Their quick passing and good decisions improved their play. Also, Yildiz is my MVP for this game. His ball control and physical presence were amazing. He is only 19, and no doubt Motta gave him number 10.

Como continues to make surprises in the summer transfer market, quality players continue to be brought in to strengthen their team after promotion to Serie A. Their first match did not go smoothly, losing to Juventus was something natural because their quality was very different, different results could have been achieved when facing other weaker teams.
The arrival of some new ammunition is very good for Como's development, after overhauling the team completely, Como could be a mid-table team that consistently survives in Serie A. Talking about competing in the top four, I think it's too early for Coma who are adapting to the new competition they are facing, if the management is serious and continues to invest in developing the team, their hopes are very high to compete in the elite position.

[slapper]

The poor result in the first match certainly made Conte very upset. In fact, fans and a number of betting exchanges favored Conte to achieve his first victory. Yes, even though this is just the start of the league, there is still a chance for Conte to improve his strategy. Osimhen may be on his way out because he is no longer in Conte's plans, it seems that Lukaku will be the new mainstay for Napoli's attack line.

Napoli lost 3 nil to Verona in the opening matchday in Italy. This is really a dissapointing result for the Parthenopeans and not improving. However they will do better in their next game, they just have to stick around for better results. Napoli headcoach, Antonio Conte is new to the team and there's basically more sectors and planning to put in place.

Victor Osimhen should be having terrible moment because he's not available to deliver his team. There's definitely huge progress for the club but it will definitely take lengthy period of time with the new coach incharge.

Napoli was utter shite in the game against Verona. And it seems Napoli players have struggled to adapt to a new setup every few months. Napoli played from 4 defender, then 5 defender system under Mazzari. Then again, it switched back to 4 defender system under Calzona. Now, it's back to 5 defender system under Conte. It's probably making them confused.
Also, Napoli's defense is worsening. I can't believe how I've seen worse defenders (Juan Jesus, Rrahmani, and Di Lorenzo) play together at the back. And think Juan Jesus is also the worst defender in Serie A too.

Napoli's problems run deeper than the backline or formations. It's about flexibility, and frankly, management has to step forward. Transposing a 4-back for a 5-back? That marks a tremendous change. Conte's method is hard and players need time to adjust. It's about discipline as well as defence, and such things take time to develop

The story of Osimhen? That is a distraction. Players understand the headlines; they are human. That doubt spills onto the pitch. Napoli require consistency. Sort the transfers, let the dust to settle.  Juan Jesus, Di Lorenzo, these men are strong but they require a defined structure if they are to shine. Conte sees something, but it's on him to make sense of it. There is no short fix for this. It's about creating a harmonic unit, and that takes time. Should they be able to resolve these problems, we will witness development

[LUCKMCFLY]

by now he is a player who I think has had his chances to demonstrate the player he is and he has had many and on many occasions he has shown himself to be a player who doesn't put in the effort he seems to not care this is what it seemed to me anyway without taking anything away at Napoli but it seems to me that at this point it is good for him to go there, the other teams don't want him!

I can't deny that 2 seasons ago Lukaku did a phenomenal job to take his team to the final, it was with Inter, but in the final I saw that things didn't go his Way , because the Player ,  I don't Know if it's because he had bad luck or because things really weren't going his way and they never did , of course they were Playing against City but there I saw a decline in him , however one of the things that I liked most about this player is that he drags marks in an impressive way, he's strong, but his weakness is that he gets tired very quickly, for me the average Priority of plays for him should be 20-25 minutes for him to Give his best.

Romelu Lukaku shows his feelings on Chelsea with questionable Instagram like

Chelsea striker Romelu Lukaku has made his feelings clear on Chelsea right now by liking a questionable post on Instagram this week.

There is a lot going on at Chelsea right now and there are some genuine criticisms of how Chelsea are treating the players who they clearly want to sell.

Obviously it is certain that it will take Antonio Conte some time before he can be able to put the team together because looking at the humiliating defeat they suffered at Hellas Verona I mean losing 3:0 in the first game of the season is really a bad start for Napoli and just like you said, Napoli are better when they attack more than defend so Antonio Conte needs to restrategize now otherwise this new format will fail him woefully.

I feel optimistic about Juventus's team. I think we can compete for the title this season. And our midfield played far better compared to our pre-season games.

There is nothing special about Juventus winning a newly promoted team because Como is just new to the Serie A and it will take them some time before they understand the Serie A so we better hope that Juventus gives a better performance when they face a more stronger opponent. Juventus have been without the Serie A title for about four seasons now so they really need to do things differently this season so that they can win the trophy that they once dominated in the past and it's good to also know that they started the new season with a win regardless of the team involved perhaps it's not also easy to be promoted to the Serie A so Como should be open to reality of how the Serie A works. 

[Hanadawa]

-snip-Napoli had 67% of the ball possession and had a total of 14 shots. On the other hand, Hellas Verona managed to score four goals with only 9 shots. From this it can be understood that both Napoli's defense and forward lineup are quite weak.-snip-

Verona's attack was really effective and they were able to score three goals from 4 shots on target. On the other hand, it seems like Napoli has problems in their defense and attack. Yes, as you said, Conte must be able to evaluate the defense and make some improvements in the front line.

-snip-perhaps it's not also easy to be promoted to the Serie A so Como should be open to reality of how the Serie A works. 

COMO have made a lot of signings when they were promoted to Serie A. I think this is a good move by the management because Serie A is a very different level from Serie B. But unfortunately it is still not good enough to compete at the top of the standings. But IMO this is only the first match, and their opponent is Juventus who really wants the title this season. I expect COMO to be able to compete in the middle of the standings this season.

It is natural with Juventus' victory with this big score, although the opponent faced is a club that is still relatively weak compared to Juventus who has star players, but it seems that Juventus is much better than in the pre-season yesterday and has not been seen when meeting a club that is equal to the way it plays or the strength of each club, it is true that there is nothing special in this match and everyone will know who will come out as the winner in the match, COMO is still too early to be in Serie A, not underestimating the opponent but everyone knows that the comparison that Juventus and Como have is very different in the quality of their players.

There was no significant resistance in the early minutes until the last 90 minutes Juventus continued to provide threats that made it difficult for COMO so it is natural that Juventus easily got points in the match.

Looks like a sure win but we are still in the early days of the new season so there is still many possibilities that may happen in that matches.
Just like the what we can see the fact that there are only 4 teams that can win in the first week of the new season, big team like AC Milan, Inter Milan, Roma, Napoli that failed to win their first match.
Verona vs Juventus is nice match to watch, Verona could beat Napoli with 3 goals margin while Juventus also won against Como with the same goal margin.
Looking at the statistic and the squad, Juventus is favorite no doubt about it but we all know that anything may happen in football match.

Como is a promoted team this season, the difference in strength between the two teams is already clear, Como relies heavily on old players whose performance can be said to be no longer competitive, just look at their defense line, Como fielded players who are already 30 years old, even the goalkeeper is already 41 years old, Como is trying their luck in Serie A and that's funny. It's only natural that Juventus achieves good results, but don't take that as a benchmark, it's not a guarantee and don't be too optimistic, this is only the first week, let's see in the second match against Verona, can Juventus achieve satisfactory results?

If it is a parlay bet, it seems like you will lose because at least, I personally cannot underestimate Parma and also, I still doubt Napoli or maybe Juventus will have difficulties, who knows. Although indeed,  if we only consider about the top Serie A teams, then that choice is a good choice.  But at least,because in the first week the results were not as easy as imagined,then I also think the results in the second week will not be as easy as imagined.

But yes, hopefully you can be lucky to get a win for the parlay bet. But at least,n to find a safe way I think a single bet can also be a goodchoice because honestly,  I personally still have bigdoubts about Napoli. Although Napoli will play at home, but there is still no guarantee for Napoli to win with the way Conte made mistakes in the previous match.

[dezoel]

Where does this Como team get their money? They already spent 40 million on some players, and they are still looking to get some more players as well and I feel like we are going to probably see them not have anything good for a while neither, not like they will win the league or something. So that means someone is willing to pay for all of this, even with the idea that they are not going to make any of it, which makes no sense to me at all.

I believe that they should be considering to make some money, and not spend this much this quickly because getting this big too quickly would only hurt them financially. I am sure there must be some rich owner backing this up, but they can't sustain this if they keep going the same way.

Even a free agent has salary that you have to pay, which means that they are going to be paying so much for salaries and there is absolutely no way that they could make the salaries back alone, and consider how much more they have to pay for a team to just exist. This is wrong, and while I do like teams go from bottom to top, this team is not a good example of that. If they can continue to spend that's fine, but if they will suck in a few seasons that's a bad move.

The owner of FC Como is Hartono brothers and they are businessmen and rich people from Indonesia and since taking over Como on 2019 they did a lot for Como because at that time Como almost bankrupt but Hartono brothers are willing to spend a lot of money to improve the club's facilities and also recover the finances of Como and this also makes Como eventually can return to Serie A again with their current manager Cesc Fàbregas

Como so far have already gets 13 players total this summer and i am sure they have already to stopped and won't buy more players again but i can says so far these transfers is not too effective and still haven't give positive impact for the club because Como have to eliminate early on Coppa Italy and they also lost with big scores from Juventus

Yes, that's right. Napoli made too many mistakes in the first match against Verona, they should have won this match easily but in reality they made too many mistakes especially in defense. Conte should take this match as a lesson because there is still a lot of work to be done in the Napoli squad. Honestly, if you look at this match, Napoli is at the same level as last year. There is really no development and Conte seems unable to make significant changes especially in terms of mentality.

But whatever it is, Conte still has a lot of time to continue to improve the Napoli team to be even better in the future. Conte must study Napoli as a whole, Napoli is an attacking team but Conte is still an old-fashioned manager, he uses defensive tactics in Napoli. I hope he can follow the Napoli team philosophy well because Napoli's journey is still long, there are still 37 matches left.

Looking at the head-to-head strength of these teams, and their performance during the last season competition, This is indeed a nice prediction normally, but take note that most of these prediction won't go the way majority of us do think these clubs you tipped here will win. But there are few games and which I strongly believe they will win because they, especially that of Inter Milan game, Fiorentina and that of Juventus will win their games.

[coinlocket$]

Juventus got officialy Kalulu on loan from Milan with an option to Buy.
The overall price will be around 20 mil if at the end of the season they will decite do get him-

Before injuries the player was worth 40 mil, lets hope he will recover himslef.

Chiesa is also very close to leave Juventus, probably to Barca.

The point is that there are still many shortcomings in the current Napoli squad. Their defense line has proven to be very weak, conceding 3 goals in the match against Verona. But I think the problem is not only in defense, but their problem is also in the attack line. Because if Napoli's attack line is good enough then they should be able to build a better attack and at least score a goal in return in that match. But what we see is that Napoli was also unable to reply to a single goal in that match. Well, Conte still has a long way to go there. And if Napoli continues like this until the middle of the season then apart from making Napoli worse, he has actually also lowered his own reputation in the world of coaching.
