Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Palakka]

Bologna is not a weak team. I don't see any way to say for sure that Napoli will win even if it's a Napoli home match. Because in the first match against Hellas Verona we saw a terrible performance from Napoli. Napoli lost 3-0 against Hellas Verona. But the entire match was dominated by Napoli players. Napoli had 67% of the ball. And also attacked a lot. Even then, Napoli players could not score a single goal. Instead, Napoli conceded three goals.

Bologna is a fairly dangerous team in Serie A this season after they succeeded in being in the top four last season and also qualified for the UCL this season, meaning Napoli will face a tough opponent at their home ground today so there is a possibility for Napoli to fail to win again in this match if their players cannot take advantage of more opportunities. I am quite sure that Bologna is still very good this season even though in the first match this season Bologna experienced an unexpected draw when hosting Udinese at their home base.

It is difficult to say who will win in the later match considering that the current performance of both teams is not in good condition, Napoli in the previous match was able to control the match but they were not able to optimize every opportunity that existed well, while Hellas Verona was actually able to play effectively although throughout the match they continued to get pressure from Napoli, in the previous match Napoli we can saw if Osimhen absence was one of the factors that made them fail to score a goal in that match, even though they played Simeone as the main striker in the match, but he is not a pure striker who have a high instinct for scoring goals like osimhen.

In other matches, Bologna was a little luckier by getting a draw from Udinese compared to Napoli who lost to Hellas Verona, but Maybe we can say if Bologna was great when they played last season, but after Motta and several of their main players left for other clubs in the transfer market, I don't think if Bologna will be the same team as last season this time.

Udinese defeated Lazio at home.Udinese scored in the first minute and managed to increase the difference to 2 at the beginning of the second half.It is a pity for them that Lazio played better despite being away but could not take advantage of their goal positions.They could not win the match even though they reduced the difference to 1 with a goal in the last minute.Udinese got their first win in the league and Lazio got their first defeat.I have to say that Parma was one of the teams that got the most surprising result of the day yesterday.I expected Milan to win this away game.Milan fell behind with a goal in the first minute but Pulisic scored in the 66th minute to tie the game but lost the game with a goal in the 77th minute.

Napoli conceded 3 goals, this is a problem of poor defense and Osimhen could not have helped in this case. He was not even in the application for the game with Verona, I have not yet seen the starting lineups for the game with Bologna, but if he is not there again, it will mean that Napoli are going to sell him, and Conte does not count on this player. Bologna is an unyielding team, but it is very important for Conte to win today, I think that even a draw will be perceived negatively, because it will also be a loss of points.

A satisfying result for Inter but a bit strange to see Lazio defeat when facing Udinese. Since the first half started, Lazio actually played quite well but unfortunately Lazio attacking players were not able to penetrate Udinese defense and it was very obvious that Lazio attacking line was not very aggressive because they could not score when Udinese players were still intact without getting a red card. But after entering the final minutes, Lazio was able to score 1 goal and that was because Udinese players got a red card and only played with 10 players. This was a humiliating defeat even though Lazio was not the host but Udinese was just a weak team that Lazio failed to beat.

Lazio didn't impress me but luckily enough for you, your pick kept you at a very safe option where you are able to win your game, congrats to you mate, what lazio attackers did lacked was creativity, they weren't creative enough to get through their opponents defense the times they had the opportunity because they did had a better performance and were most likely to have won the game more than they did lost but then they still have other times in the season to make up for this probably and hopefully. This is why I always suggest betting on events in the a particular game than betting on my team to win because even big teams do fail to win at some point even against weak teams.

[Jossque]

Inter defeated Lecce 2-0 at home to get their first win in the league.Although they didn't play much better than their opponents, they managed to win with experience as they were better than their opponents.Of course, they had the advantage of being at home.Inter is the biggest candidate for the championship this season.
Genoa, on the other hand, managed to beat Monza away from home.They didn't play much better than their opponent.Monza had more possession throughout the match but they weren't very effective in front of goal.Genoa defeated their opponent with a goal late in the first half.

[coinlocket$]

Atalanta is playing versus Torino and they are losing.
They will have a lot of time for recovering the game, they just started the second half.

But still, the potential defeat is already a big news per se since they wanna race for the top 2 of the leaderboard of this season, they never said that but it is very plausible after winning the Europa League.

[Ondekinecakabilirim]

Roma will play Empoli at home. Roma played very well in the last part of last season with Daniele De Rossi. But they started this season with a 0-0 draw with Cagliari. On the other hand, Empoli started with a 0-0 draw at home against Monza. Empoli managed to stay in the league last season with points in the last weeks. It will be an interesting match. Both teams have unique stories. I think there will be few goals. Roma are the favorites to win. But I think there will be less than 3 goals in this match.

[Velvet78]

Things are getting worse for Milan in time... I'm curious about the problem behind it. The formation they used was the same in both games. But there were some changes when it comes to players. They have a decent squad but still have big problems in even smaller games. I don't want to underestimate the opponents but these are games Milan should be able to win without question.  

It has been only two weeks so I wouldn't like to go harsh on Fonseca. However in the long term, I hope to see much better performances. These players shouldn't be wasted like this. They need to be in the title race.

[el kaka22]

Milan losing is suck a kick in the balls, I really hate it when I lose these unexpected bets, my parlay got ended on early note this weekend and now I have to wait next weekend to play again. It's really a shame because Milan should have won this game easily, it is nothing to them. Parma is not a big team and they are not considered even top half of the table by the end, they are really terrible even, and Milan ended up not only failing to win, but they didn't get a draw, they literally just lost and accepted their faith and didn't even tried hard by the end.

To be fair my bet would be a loss even if they got a draw, but at the very least one would hope that they would try hard to find a score by the last minutes, and they just accepted their faith and that is sick to see. I am not even joking, I would fire the manager right away after such a poor performance, not the loss because loss happens but the hopelessness in the team is terrible, or I am simply just biased because of the bet.

[coinlocket$]

So it ended with a defeat from Atalanta versus Torino and this is a big surprise.
Another unexpected result but less dangerous is the draw between Fiorentiana and Venezia.

A big team, 2 big teams to be precise are playeing right now.

Napoli Bologna, even if it is not the same Bologna of the past year and should be weaker on the paper.
Roma Empoli, a game where it should be only 1 the result.

Let's see...

[slapper]

After a promising start to the season under Antonio Conte, Napoli started Serie A with problems after a shock defeat against Verona. Napoli were actually better than their opponent in the first half against Verona. However, after conceding the goal in the second half, they had big defensive deficits. In the transfer window during the week Napoli brought in a player like David Neres who can contribute to the team. I think Napoli will recover quickly and they will play good football for the rest of the league. Bologna, on the other hand, started the season with 1 point against Udinese even though they were ahead. Napoli will want to forget last week in front of their fans, but their opponents are also tough. This match will be balanced and I prefer 2 goals and below for the bet.

Verona hammering Napoli 3-0? There's no denying that it's an alarming signal. Conte's got 'em playing beautiful football, but beautiful doesn't win games if you're leaking goals like a sieve. Sixty-seven percent control and zero results? I call that a suicide technique

Up next is Bologna, which isn't going to be easy either. To put it gently, Napoli has a questionable record when facing them. But hey, they've got Neres now, and that's something. Because Conte is a clever man, he will adjust. Expect a different Napoli this time around

They need to tighten up at the back, that's priority number one. That being said, they must maintain their aggressive attitude. Finding that sweet spot is within Conte's skills. If they fail to do so, then the next round would be very difficult for the fans

[Lillominato89]

Disaster for Ac Milan.

They just lost by 2-1 vs PArma and now they have taken 4 goals in 2 games but most importantly they only have 1 point of 6.

And thinking that the supporters were not happy about Pioli 2 months ago, are they now happy?

They could have taken Conte but they wanted to save money and this is the situation with Fonseca.

I think Milan fans will soon regret letting Stefano Pioli leave, yet during the summer games they won against Manchester city Real Madrid and Barcelona! LOL 1 point in two games is very little but we are at the beginning of the championship and they can regain lost ground, of course every fan would like to see their team win especially if we are talking about Milan! There is time and hope for Fonseca

Milan fans do not regret firing Pioli. But they regret the owner's choice to replace him with Fonsesca. Everybody knew that Fonsesca was a bad signing except for the owners. It disappoints us how the owner was not even picking Sarri, who was still free instead of Fonsesca.


About the game between Milan and Parma, i did not see much of a difference between this Milan and last year with Pioli. They struggled against a low block, disorganized team, and slow pressing. They lacked concentration, too. And slow pressing was the main problem of them. It gave Parma a few chances to counter.

We played even worse under Fonsesca. Though it's a common problem that happens to a new coach, it takes time to integrate your ideas, understand the players, and many more. But i will give him no longer than half a season to judge his performance as a new coach.

In Italy we already knew Fonseca, he had coached Roma with bad results. It was really a surprise to see AC Milan sign Fonseca, but as you say they could have gone for Sarri who was free or Conte. Evidently it was a choice to save something on wages

The Lazio defeat came as a very big surprise to me because I was expecting them to win from away but seeing how they started conceding goal from the first 5 minutes of the game shows how unprepared they came for the game, good to know that some people still managed to make a very good selection which worked out for their pick it's s a very good thing to see

On the Lazio attackers side, they were not able to penetrate the defense of Udinese even when the home team became one man down as the result of the red card of H. Kamara in the 68th minute of the game Lazio still find it difficult to score the equalizing goal which would have earned them a draw in the game.

Udinese defeated Lazio at home.Udinese scored in the first minute and managed to increase the difference to 2 at the beginning of the second half.It is a pity for them that Lazio played better despite being away but could not take advantage of their goal positions.They could not win the match even though they reduced the difference to 1 with a goal in the last minute.Udinese got their first win in the league and Lazio got their first defeat.

This match gave a surprising result yesterday and still saying football is unpredictable. This Lazio team have all they need in this match and had all the best stats in this match, from possession, to shots and to also shots on targets. It’s unfortunate and unbelievable that they lost the match even after scoring a goal in the match. They should do better in the next match in order to be at the top like other big clubs.

I have to say that Parma was one of the teams that got the most surprising result of the day yesterday.I expected Milan to win this away game.Milan fell behind with a goal in the first minute but Pulisic scored in the 66th minute to tie the game but lost the game with a goal in the 77th minute.

It was an unexpected result though and it doesn’t mean that the more superior team will always win over the smaller teams. Football is full of surprises and when you see one, you don’t have to be shocked and just work with the flow of it. Losing to a newly promoted team was something unexpected, I hope they do better in the coming games.

AC Milan's results in their first two games of the season is without doubt very shocking especially to fans of the club. The new manager of finding it very difficult come up with the best formation and style of play that'll bring out the best from his boys and that has drawn a lot of criticisms to him with many questioning his managerial strength to manage a big team like AC Milan.

Personally, feel AC Milan will bounce back but for them to challenge for the title this season, they must bounce back now before it gets too late for them to recover and challenge for the league title.

[TelolettOm]

.....
Again, a counter attack really can destroy Milan's defense. lots of homework to be fixed and improved here. And also the front line, ah that's pretty bad because of the many missed opportunities.

The result was very disappointing and embarrassing for AC Milan, because they lost to a mediocre club that had just been promoted, and another fact is that Paulo Fonseca's squad has not won this season. Sure enough, the bad defense line was the main cause, T

Indeed, very disappointing and very bad. Draw from Torino and lost from Parma. If it continues like this, I think AC Milan will soon be rumored to change coaches again. Let alone achieving the target, they are not even able to beat the lower and mediocre teams.

Up next is Bologna, which isn't going to be easy either. To put it gently, Napoli has a questionable record when facing them. But hey, they've got Neres now, and that's something. Because Conte is a clever man, he will adjust. Expect a different Napoli this time around

What a beautiful and surprising match result.
Napoli Won over Bologna.
Truly, Conte succeeded this time.

Very effective, even though they only had 36% ball possession, their attacks were very effective and accurate. Bologna was really overwhelmed and their defense was in disarray this time.

The Rissoneri results is unacceptable, such an elite club seems to be battling and not secure with the whole system of Italian football. Perhaps AC Milan boss, Paulo Fonseca seems to be sleeping in his managerial role because AC Milan are showing absolutely no concern to grab three points. In two Seria A games played, just a 1 point have been secured and not encouraging development from the ends of the players. They really need to put in the work because winning comes as a result of hardwork put or exerted by a club.

Finally we saw a good Napoli team performing in all departments. It was not an easy match against Bologna, even though they are no longer the Bologna of last year but still a difficult team to beat. Antonio Conte prepared the match perfectly this time and let's hope the results now come consistently

I agree that AC Milan start to season is very bad. New manager is having hard time finding right way to play and that is causing a lot of worry. He is getting criticized because people expect a lot from AC Milan. But I think team can still do well. To win title they need to improve fast and find their rhythm soon. If they do not it will be hard to catch up. Manager needs to find right plan and players need to try harder. If they improve quickly I think AC Milan can get back on track and compete for the title.

[shinratensei_]

Roma will play Empoli at home. Roma played very well in the last part of last season with Daniele De Rossi. But they started this season with a 0-0 draw with Cagliari. On the other hand, Empoli started with a 0-0 draw at home against Monza. Empoli managed to stay in the league last season with points in the last weeks. It will be an interesting match. Both teams have unique stories. I think there will be few goals. Roma are the favorites to win. But I think there will be less than 3 goals in this match.

Your expectation is too big for Roma.



Roma lost against Empoli when they played a home game. This is a disgraceful result for a team that spent 100 million in the current window. They struggled to beat a relegation-bait team like Empoli. Roma's performance was horrible. Their slow midfield and ball circulation hurt them. A slow build-up from the back became inefficient. Their opponents overloaded the midfield and won back the ball. Also, their defenders are so bad, and the lack of ball distribution from their CB makes it even worse. I can't really speculate how long Rossi will sort out all of these problems from Roma. All in all, new season, same midfield, same old problems, and same results. Nothing improved from Roma overall.
