Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Mame89]

It's only been 2 weeks, and I won't rush to say that they are fully prepared, because as you said, they are facing a team that on paper they are still better, besides that we actually can't know their real strength just by looking at 2 matches. But of course that is a positive signal for them, the only team that has not conceded a goal and also in terms of goal productivity, so far they are still the team that leads the goal tally. But again, it's only been two weeks, we still have many matches ahead, and at that time we can't fully know whether they will be able to maintain their performance enough to continue to achieve positive results or not.

Indeed, Serie A has only been running for two weeks, but so far, apart from Juventus as a team that has not conceded and has a goal productivity, Juventus is also the only team that has managed to achieve perfect results in the two matches. This proves that Juventus in the Motta era not only has high ball possession and many opportunities but also good effectiveness. Juventus this season has significant changes.

This is very different from when Juventus was still undergoing pre-season, they performed poorly, even many were pessimistic about Juventus in Serie A. However, Motta said that Juventus' pre-season trial was not to get maximum results, but as a trial of tactical formations and trying out new players. The results can be seen in the last two matches, Motta's strategy is going well. However, the real test is when they face a big team who is the closest opponent this week they will face AS Roma, we should wait and see if they are able to get through it.

Juventus is a scary team right now in the Italian Serie A because the world looks at them after two extraordinary matches under Motta's guidance of course other teams will be wary of the tough game as the team they are up against, this weekend Juventus will be blocked by Roma this is of course an opportunity for Roma to get full points because they have only got one point in the first two matches, but talking about beating Juventus is very difficult at this time Juventus looks fierce but Toma is still struggling under De Rossi's guidance at the beginning.

Motta will continue to try to give his best direction to Juventus so that the team he coaches can continue to win and it would even be very good if they win big without conceding a goal from their opponent. But on the one hand I also do not doubt the tactics of De Rossi who this season is still guiding Roma so that the match between Juventus vs Roma this weekend will certainly present a very tight competition even though Juventus will certainly not let themselves lose in front of their own supporters even though they have to fight in a difficult way.

Juventus' last two matches against Como and Verona with the same score of 3-0 for both teams without mercy does give the impression that they are very strong, under Motta they are now on a very good path.

But the thing you need to remember is that it's only the first two weeks of the league, we know that they've been strong before, and we'll see more clearly when the league is a quarter and a half of the way through to see the consistency of a team in competition.

Lakaka signs for Napoli officially!    Conte has been wishing to see him in his team for a long time so finally they meet each other. As of this signing Napoli will have solved their recent striker problem.

Chelsea spent 113 million euros for Lukaku while getting him back from Inter 3 years ago... I still can't believe how terrible they can be with transfer policies.  

From now on I'm just waiting on Chelsea to sign Osimhen or not. Latest news says he is closer to Al-Ahli. If Chelsea fails then I'm curious whether they will give up on signing a striker for now. Because there isn't much time left for the end of the transfer window. Because August 30 is the final date for transfers in the Premier League.

Finally eh, we couldn't stand the constant rebounds anymore, yes no maybe. I'm happy for Romero Lukaku, this poor boy even had to train alone. You understand how much he is a professional. Also in my opinion he was treated badly and unfairly, honestly. I feel really bad thinking about how he was treated.

Of course Torino can maintain this success. This is something that always happens when at the beginning of the season Torino usually gives a very consistent appearance but after that will experience a decline in performance in the middle of the season. Even bookmakers favor Torino in this match and give odds @2.30.
But this time I did not bet on Torino victory but chose to bet on Venezia to get more cards because Venezia is also very aggressive.

BTW, after that there will be an Inter vs Atalanta match and this is also one of the profitable matches. Do you have a prediction of the formation that will be used in today's match?

[Velvet78]

Napoli started the season interestingly. First a 3-0 loss against Verona and later on a win against Bologna with the same score. It seems like they had a strong mental to leave it behind and completely focus on this one.  

Now after they have signed Lukaku as well finally and Osimhen is also leaving, an important problem is fixed. I hope Conte does a good work this season. I want to see them in the title race again after Spalleti's departure.

Conte is like the best manager they could have got after him by the way. Collecting 90 points like Spalletti won't be easy at all but it isn't the target of course. Giving the fans what they want would be enough.

Juventus is very mean this season because looking at the previous games they have played just as the season started you will see that Juventus have become more stronger when compared to last season though I know that De Rossi is fully in charge of Roma now unlike last season when he inherited the team from Jose Mourinho so he will try his possible best to see that his team succeeds but for this game between Juventus and Roma, I give Juventus the winning odds because they would take home advantage and the fact that they are still in winning ways so they wouldn't want to spoil their game so early.

Lakaka signs for Napoli officially!    Conte has been wishing to see him in his team for a long time so finally they meet each other. As of this signing Napoli will have solved their recent striker problem.

With Romelu Lukaku officially joining the Napoli club, Conte should now be happier because he finally got one of the players he really wanted for the attack line he is building at Napoli. Lukaku, who seems to be getting a 3 season contract at Napoli, will clearly mean that this player will no longer be confused every season, especially at the end of every season. Because we know that in the past few seasons we have seen Lukaku always end up being loaned to another team by Chelsea. but Lukaku can always be a player who can be relied on by the team that borrows his services. For example at Inter Milan and at Roma last season. But now I wonder whether under Conte's coaching he will return to being a sharp striker. And we have to remember that Conte and Lukaku have worked together in the past, namely when Lukaku was still playing for Inter Milan and Inter Milan was still coached by Conte. So I think Lukaku can play more comfortably at Napoli because Conte is there as coach. And their reunion is actually quite anticipated. Because in the past they managed to win the title in Serie A when they were still working together as a team. They are now reunited with the hope of bringing Napoli to the top of the standings.

I hope Antonio Conte is happy now that Lukaku have been signed as he so wished, and I hope Romelu Lukaku also try and improve in his performance because I couldn't figure out the reason why Antonio Conte was so interested in Napoli signing the Belgian striker. I think Romelu Lukaku will be more comfortable at Napoli since he's being coached by Antonio Conte so their relationship will increase and Lukaku will enjoy more playing time now that he has signed a 3 years contract with Napoli instead of the Loan he has been moving around all this while from Inter to Roma. It's a good thing that he has finally been signed to the Napoleon squad after a long wait.

Milan had generated a lot of excitement for this season by keeping the stars in their squad and making transfers, but their start to the season has been problematic. Milan barely got a point against Torino and lost away to Parma. It has been a problematic start for Milan and if they continue like this we could see big changes in the team. Lazio, on the other hand, had a comfortable win against Venezia but they played bad football against Udinese and lost. Milan stand out with the quality of their squad, but they lack confidence and Lazio's good home performance makes me favor a Lazio win.

Milan last season showed a very impressive performance with Stefano Pioli, but unfortunately he was sacked for no apparent reason, currently Milan is in the hands of a new coach but there has been no improvement that we have seen happen since Fonsesca took over the team, to be honest I personally am not sure of Milan current style of play although they retained the majority of players last season,  but their game strategy is more monotonous and too easy to read by opposing teams now, different With Stefano Pioli  last season which often able to modify Milan strategy and game scheme in a match, the early season match should not be a difficult match for Milan considering that the opponent they are facing is not a strong team, but if we look at the two matches Milan is too easy to be broken into by the opposing team so this shows the fragility of their defense, So you can imagine what will happen if later Milan has to face a strong team and have an impressive attack?
indeed It's too early to judge and doubt Milan, but I think fonsesca must do something immediately to make their team strong if they don't want to be knocked out of the scudetto competition this season.

From the two matches that Juventus have played so far, they have not encountered any obstacles and have managed to get good results with a clean sheet record. This is a good capital to face Roma at home and Motta will maximize this match to maintain his clean sheet record and honestly Roma's chances of winning are very small considering that when playing with Cagliari ended in a draw
another thing Roma was only able to score one goal when facing Empoli at home. I see there are problems in the attack and defense lines and de Rossi has not been able to solve them so I think Roma will not provide a surprise in this match, Juventus will most likely win more easily.

[kro55]

After just two games, I am not one to draw snap decisions. Still, folks, six goals and two clean sheets represent a really excellent start. A youthful, motivated team playing with confidence and swagger is here. They make me remember the early years of several of the outstanding teams, including Manchester City. And I get thrilled when I see such kind of possibility

The actual test, though, is facing Roma. Roma is a decent squad now, but Juve has a history. And given Juve's present performance, this could be a turning point in their season...

Juventus is a scary team right now in the Italian Serie A because the world looks at them after two extraordinary matches under Motta's guidance of course other teams will be wary of the tough game as the team they are up against, this weekend Juventus will be blocked by Roma this is of course an opportunity for Roma to get full points because they have only got one point in the first two matches, but talking about beating Juventus is very difficult at this time Juventus looks fierce but Toma is still struggling under De Rossi's guidance at the beginning.

And I think Juventus will win this match because realistically they are superior to Roma by never conceding a single goal it seems that Juventus' defense is quite good at this time so it is difficult for Roma to get points but on the other hand with Juventus who managed to collect six goals in these two matches it is quite fantastic for the team from Turin I don't think this will be a tough match for Motta's guidance because Roma have not found their game scheme until now.

Juventus has definitely played well. By winning both of the starting matches, they have started the season very well. They will have to keep the consistency. I hope they will be able to keep the consistency throughout the whole season. Consistency has been a big problem for them in the last season. Especially towards the end.

The start has been very tough for Roma. They have not been able to win in a single match in the first two. I had some idea that it is going to be very tough for them in this season. I almost knew that people were actually over-hyping the new coach. I still think that José Mourinho was going to be a better choice. But it is what it is, they have already made the choice and now they have to live with it.

By the way, both Milan, Monza, and Roma have the same exact results.

Regardless of how he was treated with the others, Romelu Lukaku didn't respect Inter which accepted him in his crisis with Chelsea. Besides, his performance dropped even internationally. He is no longer the tank he used to be in the fields.
I am aware that Conte wants him badly and I assume he has a project for him. Hopefully he can still add something to Napoli which isn't very well by the way..

[Jossque]

Venezia hosted Torino at home. In a game where both teams had plenty of chances, Torino managed to defeat their opponent with a single goal. Torino scored in the last minutes.
In the other match of the day, Inter and Atalanta clashed. Inter took an early lead, extending their lead to 2 in 10 minutes. They'll probably win the match. I don't expect Inter to take the lead so early and lose points.

Inter is on the lead with two goals in ten minutes. The first goal was an own goal by N. Barella, while the second goal was scored on the 10th minutes with a massive shot which went right to the right top of the net putting Marco Carnesecchi in a tight corner of stopping the ball from entering the net.

Inter is very aggressive in their attack putting Atalanta on pressure as they are dominating the match and playing wonderfully. Inter won their two matches with a 2-0 victory but I think that there will be more goals in this match. What a good start for Inter.

Inter 2-0 Atalanta

The match between Inter Milan and Atalanta has started, and it's not really funny for Atalanta because Inter Milan is leading with 2 goals already. I wasn't really expecting these early goals from Inter Milan because I consider Atalanta a strong team. From what I am observing now, it's very possible that Inter will score up to four goals because Inter Milan is the team controlling the pitch. I know that Inter Milan will not give any opportunity to Atalanta to win, but I expected the match to be more difficult for Inter Milan. Let's see what will happen maybe Atalanta will try their best to score too, but with what is going on now, Inter will not give them any chance to equalize the two goals.

Inter and Atlanta match is currently going on. Inter is leading with 2 goals at first. I was thinking Atlanta were a strong team. I feel like 2 goals even before the first half is too bad for a team like Atlanta. This is just the first half, and we don’t know what will happen in the second half. I believe it will be a very difficult match for Atlanta right now. I see Inter Milan as the favourite team in this match.

 I don’t think there will be a space for Atlanta to score goals because, from what I have seen so far, Inter Milan really dominate this match. They are not joking, and I believe they will do everything to score more. I think Atlanta should just try their best to secure their house so Inter won’t score too much, but I don’t think Atlanta will win this match.

The second half have just begun and Thuram have scored an early goal on the 3rd minutes after kick off time. The goal was a superb one as Thuram was in between Atalanta two defenders and was able to strike the ball into the back post of the net on the 47th minutes of the match to make it three goals. It is only Martinez that have not scored any goal since the beginning of this season maybe he will be lucky in this match to break the deadlock. Thuram has just scored his second goal in this match making it his fourth goal this season. It is now 4-0.

The second half has entered the 64th minute and the score has not changed, namely 4-0. I think this is a very unexpected score. because Atalanta shouldn't have lost so easily like this. Even though Inter Milan were the hosts in this match, scoring 4 goals against Atalanta was truly beyond anyone's predictions. This shows two things. Is it Inter Milan that is getting stronger or maybe Atalanta has become weak and is experiencing a decline. Actually I hope both teams score.

And if Atalanta doesn't improve their game then Inter Milan could score another goal in this match. considering that there is still quite a lot of time remaining in this match. If Atalanta loses this match, it means that Atalanta has now experienced two defeats in 3 weeks. I think it was a bad season for them. considering that Atalanta will play in the UCL. I think Atalanta must fight harder. Because they will face a league that is more difficult than Serie A, namely the UCL.
