Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

Exactly, Lukaku's extra qualities are there and it's clear, what Lukaku does is more discipline and dedication to work and to heeding the coach's advice, which is something that Victor doesn't do, who is a boy who also seems a little spoiled and he believes he has already achieved success and Conte doesn't like this and he noticed it and together with Delaurentis they sent him away!

ok but even if it's old it plays well, it doesn't cost much, it integrates and doesn't bother you
what is better than Victor Osimhen who plays the princess and acts like an asshole not wanting to play?

I also think the same as you, Conte's decision to sell Osimhen, is very unfortunate, whereas if you think about it, if Conte had paired Osimhen with Lukaku, Napoli would most likely have great ammunition for the front sector, even becoming a big threat to Serie A clubs and Napoli will be a club to watch out for in Serie A this season, but the decision that Conte has taken is a unanimous decision and it cannot be denied that he knows better about Napoli's future development.

Although this is a very unfortunate decision, I think Conte has considered this decision wisely. I think Conte wants to make Lukaku a target man in his tactics. Lukaku will be a lone striker whose job is to score goals. Osimhen is a better striker than Lukaku. He has a fantastic market value, is still young and has very good skills. However, it seems that Osimhen does not fit the strategy that Conte will implement. So far Napoli have won 2 times and hopefully they can continue the positive trend that has been achieved.

I think Napoli and Conte are not interested in Osimhen because Osimhen's wages are too high. Napoli management wants to cut their costs. This is why they will not keep Osimhen and Lukaku in the same squad. Moreover, Conte has wanted Lukaku in his squad since he took over at Napoli. Because Lukaku has played in Conte's squad in the past. And Lukaku was the best striker in Conte's squad. This is why Conte is so keen on Lukaku.

Conte is well aware of Lukaku's style of play. Lukaku is also familiar with Conte's match tactics. It is for this reason that Lukaku is likely to adapt quickly to Napoli's squad. Napoli are likely to see Lukaku perform well this season.

Juventus will come to the Stadio Carlo Castellani while Inter Milan will come to the Brianteo Stadium, the opponents of these two teams are too weak, I've no doubt that either Juventus or Inter Milan will get 3 points, it's just that I still have a little doubt about Juventus, their opponent is Empoli , look at their position in the standings, Empoli have good form at the moment, they will also play at home, the worst scenario that Juventus will get 1 point (IMO).

Empoli beat Roma and took points from Bologna, so I wouldn't rush to say that this will be an easy match for Juventus. By the way, Juventus was completely different against Roma than in the first rounds, only one shot on target in the entire game, and this is despite the fact that Roma started this season very weakly. So it makes a difference to Juventus which opponent they play against, they are doing great with defense, but if they fail to score again, it will be a loss of points. Juventus will soon have to play PSV and Napoli, I think this will be a good test for Motta.

[rendravolt]

Well, it is surprising to see Torino and Udinese in the top 4 now. These teams played quite impressive so far. Torino could steal point against AC Milan and they beat Atalanta. Meanwhile Udinese could beat Lazio and get point against Bologna. But it is true that Udinese must be careful to play against Parma in the next match. Parma could beat AC Milan, it indicates Parma isn't an easy team to defeat. For Torino, it seems they will win easily against Lecce.

It is not surprising to see that at the beginning of the season there will be a weak team that is entrenched in the top four and this is pure luck that they get with hard work. Of course, if they get a defeat at the beginning of the season, it will be very difficult to survive at the bottom and this victory is very much needed to extend their breath in the competition which is still very long.

Torino and Udinese are indeed two of the few teams whose results are difficult to predict and sometimes betting on Serie A matches often reverses the existing results. I think the results for the next match will still be the same and although Parma can be said to be quite surprising after beating Milan, here Udinese could get a third consecutive victory and conversely Torino could fall when playing against Lecce.

Lukaku can even be said to be the most patient player which shows that he is very kind-hearted. He continued to be loaned out by Chelsea for several seasons but Lukaku was always able to immediately adapt to whatever team he was loaned to. So it is not surprising that Conte always likes this player. Because Conte knows everything about Lukaku in the past. So Conte already feels comfortable with this striker. Lukaku even immediately showed his quality at Napoli. So Conte must feel proud because he asked Napoli to bring in this player.

Osimhen he is still young. And yes, he was a little complacent with the achievements he got when he was able to bring Napoli to the Serie A title in the previous season. but last season he failed to show his good performance again. And then his relationship with the club deteriorated, which led to his desire to leave Napol. And to be honest, I want Osimhen to go to a big club that can maximize his potential. But unfortunately he failed to find a team willing to redeem him at a high price. And now he has to accept that he will be loaned to a Turkish club, namely Galatasaray.

Lukaku is a strong man and a good player with high professionality and he's very skillfull too. He was loaned out to different clubs because he was treated badly in Chelsea and his relationship with Chelsea was entirely broken and won't be able to healed. In any club he joined as a loaned player, he played and lived entirely for them so by taking a player like him, many clubs can get good benefits while main part of his salary is paid by Chelsea. It means these clubs spent very little cost to Chelsea while they got a lot from Lukaku.

Osimhen he is still young. And yes, he was a little complacent with the achievements he got when he was able to bring Napoli to the Serie A title in the previous season. but last season he failed to show his good performance again. And then his relationship with the club deteriorated, which led to his desire to leave Napol. And to be honest, I want Osimhen to go to a big club that can maximize his potential.

Osimhen is younger than Lukaku and even he plays at the same striker position like Lukaku, he has different playing style. With different playing style and skillset, Osimhen can make many different contributions to his club compares to Lukaku. Losing Osimhen is a big loss in player resource for Napoli because recent seasons, he was an important player and piece in their tactical operation. Anyway, life spins and Napoli have to move one without Osimhen while the player has to develop his career at a new club.

[bastisisca]

It is not easy for Paulo Fonseca to continue from what happened last season, every new coach needs a process to adapt and Paulo Fonseca must start building the AC Milan team from the beginning again so if AC Milan is currently experiencing difficulties I think it is still a natural thing because they are with their new coach

Indeed, the results achieved by AC Milan in several early matches this season are disappointing, it seems to be the opposite of their impressive pre-season results but I am still quite optimistic that Paulo Fonseca can make AC Milan better, maybe everything takes time.

The previous season Milan hadn't shone, ok but it hadn't gone badly. It had gone badly due to the investments made and not collected.
This year is going worse than with Pioli and with this coach, Pioli, he had not shone as he should have.
I smell dismissal...

I will applaud Lukaku for his first goal for Napoli, but this is only the first and last applause, because there is no guarantee at his age, he is getting slower and can only wait to be passed. Lukaku can't do much without passes, he might make me slap my forehead at the end of the season. Napoli have more obstacles in Serie A because they have to get past Inter, Milan, Juventus and Atalanta, even Napoli bowed to Verona without scoring a single goal.

By the way, Juventus was completely different against Roma than in the first rounds, only one shot on target in the entire game, and this is despite the fact that Roma started this season very weakly. So it makes a difference to Juventus which opponent they play against, they are doing great with defense, but if they fail to score again, it will be a loss of points. Juventus will soon have to play PSV and Napoli, I think this will be a good test for Motta.

Against Empoli can actually be quite a challenging match for Juventus. Because Empoli this season they have not experienced defeat. Empoli can even beat Roma. And we know Roma managed to hold Juventus to a draw. So, even though the Empoli vs Juventus match looks easy to predict, many people will definitely favor Juventus. But actually this match will be quite difficult to predict if we look at the development of Empoli's performance this season.

But even so, I will still bet on Juventus of course. But what makes me more curious is that in the first round of the Champions League, Juventus will face PSV. And I think it will be a tough match. Because we can't doubt PSV's quality anymore. because they were the winners of the title last season in the Eredivisie. Thiago Motta will really test his abilities as a coach. But I feel that Motta will be a coach who is optimistic that Juventus can develop.

Because this young coach has shown us that he has good talent in the world of coaching. Last season he succeeded in bringing Bologna to get UCL tickets. And now he will definitely bring Juventus to maximum results in the UCL. I'm happy that Motta is at Juventus.

The "broccoli" joke's funny. Yeah, he's not the young talent anymore, but experience matters, and Lukaku's still got it. Examine his loan periods. He has stood up every time and had influence. Remember him at Inter under Conte? That was Lukaku at his best. He is a pro, picks things quickly, and delivers. Odosimhen? Yes, he had an outstanding season; then, what? Faded, got into a mess cause of Napoli, now he's off to Galatasaray

Lukaku can adapt. He might not be the fastest guy on the pitch anymore, but he's got the smarts, the positioning, the finishing touch. He is indeed aging. Yet, that also makes him wiser and more cool under pressure. When the game hangs on, you want a player like that on your squad. Never undervalue the authority of experience. Lukaku has still more to contribute

What a belly (just joking, no sarcasm)

Coach Antonio Conte's tactics are considered quite suitable for Lukaku and it has been proven when they work together and what Lukaku showed in his debut match with Napoli also shows that it is true, but personally I see from Lukaku's overall performance in several seasons and it cannot be denied that Lukaku's individual quality has declined quite a bit.

And for the comparison with Osimhen I think these two players appeared in different generations, Osimhen's exclusion was not because of his quality or performance but because of a conflict that did not surface so that Osimhen was not included in the plan to build the Napoli team this season.

Btw, Lukaku's current posture is quite funny, he doesn't look like a professional footballer anymore and because of his excess weight, his movements have now slowed down.

[viljy]

Despite all the factors that tend not to do this, I will still bet on Juventus in the match against Empoli. At first I wanted to bet on a draw, but no. After reading the latest posts on this topic, I was all the more determined to bet on Juventus. Maybe in vain. However, I am now following the strategy of the maximum possible number of small bets, which to some extent negates the "price" of each failure

Of course, you knkw that is impossible to halpen for Napoli to pass those clubs that you mentioned above. Lukaku coming to the team was Conte's dream but that doesn't mean that Napoli will not be faced with challenges because most clybs in Seria A are very strong and with Lukaku current age he might find it difficult to be very sharp and fast with the ball.

Conte should not think of winning the league buf let him try and finish on first four on ghe table so that if that's possible, he can focus on winning the league next season. However, this deoends on how he improves the team performance.

I fully support your opinion and logically it is impossible for Conte to give Napoli the Scudetto title in a short time and only rely on Lukaku. Conte still needs a lot of time to explore the right strategy to produce stable performance and I am sure that even though Lukaku will not be in accordance with the coach's expectations, Conte must have a very appropriate alternative. The reason I say this is because he is a professional coach who already has a lot of experience. So he will have no difficulty in improving the performance of the Napoli squad as long as he is given the opportunity to prove himself. Although it is too early, I have a prediction that Napoli can achieve better results than last season.

However, I am now following the strategy of the maximum possible number of small bets, which to some extent negates the "price" of each failure

I think there is no doubt to bet on Juventus to win at this moment because after all, so far Juventus is the only team in the Serie A standings that has not conceded. That means, Juventus this season looks promising enough to consistently get good results because they have a good head coach too. Although indeed, at the beginning of this season also that Empoli looks quite good too because of the three matches that have been played in fact Empoli is also still unbeaten. Not only that, because previously Empoli also managed to beat AS Roma with a score of 1-2.

But even so, although Empoli will play at home against Juventus later, I will personally remain confident to bet on Juventus to win despite playing away. After all, the odds available at this time are also clear that Juventus is still the favorite team to win, because at this moment the odds for Juventus to win are around @ 1.75 - @1.80. Thus, if you only bet for the 1x2 option and choose Juventus to win, basically it is still a good odds for me.

But yes, it seems that I will personally choose the asian handicap for Juventus, because choosing Juventus -1 at the currently available odds also has great odds in the range of @2.xx moreover it seems that later I will also choose Juventus -1.5, because I believe Juventus will win at least with a two-goal gap.

The truth is that everyone has their own observations, and it is very important that they always use them to bet. I believe that people who may be doubting Juventus winning against Empoli may have their reasons. However, as for me, Juventus is a good team to bet on as the winner; they are the favorite team to win the match. Juventus has been in good form since the season started. Drawing against Roma may be the reason why most people are doubting Juventus' win, and it may also explain the odds given to Juventus. But the truth is that predictions are not based on only thought,they are based on team performance.We have seen teams with big odd win their games easily sometimes, while some teams, even with small odds  struggle to win. Bet predictions should be based on individual analysis, not just following others' thoughts. The reason why someone always loses bets is because they always follow what other people think.

Lukaku's got something those young guys dont: experience. He's seen and experienced everything. He is a reliable player who doesnt score one week and disappear the next. Napoli needs dependability. They want to succeed, which takes more than talent. It takes a player who can adjust quickly, blend in, and perform when needed. Lukaku's debut goal? That wasnt luck. That was an experienced pro maintaining his edge.

He may not be the fastest player anymore, but he has smarts, positioning, and the ability to find the ball. This is crucial for a young, promising team like Osimhen's. Lukaku can mentor them. This season, he'll prove his winning ways. Lukaku will be crucial to Napoli's title chances.

[Leviathan.007]

Lukaku has always been a great footballer, the problem he had was that he never fit in Chelsea system so he had to be loaned out constantly when he was there, finally he figured out a way to permanently make a move. He also got injured a while back, which made him a bit slower, but he is still talented, maybe he is not as fast as he used to be, but his speed was never the intended attribute that teams looked for him, his positioning, his heading, his shooting and technical abilities were all the things that made him who he is.

On the very first game, we saw how important those are, he helped his team make a comeback on the last minutes, and that's why I think it's important for Conte to get who he wanted, and he basically got rid of Osimhen.

Napoli's insistence on keeping Osimhen has cost them dearly. Unable to get the transfer fee they wanted, Napoli insisted on keeping Osimhen and this created tension between the player and the team. Do you think that if a player wants to leave a team and a good price is paid for him, it is not logical to let him go? I don't know if Napoli did it on purpose but now they are change to replace Osimhen with Lukaku. However, Lukaku is not in his old form and is not a player who can contribute to Napoli in the long term. Maybe this season he can fill Osimhen's void, but Lukaku has a stability problem. Napoli need to solve the problem with Osimhen because every team needs a player like him.

Lukaku is definitely a good player and he recently had good performance while playing for teams in Serie A like Roma and Inter Milan but he was usually unstable and he didn't stay in the teams he joined there. Even though there is some news about Lukaku returning to Chelsea and since they need to get the team improved he could be a good helping hand in Chelsea.
It seems Conte was smarter and since he saw Osimhen is not going to stay, before they lost Osimhen, he asked the team to hire Lukaku.

You can of course go on with your bet on Juventus to win. It makes sense to take that risk at these odds:



1.80 is quite good.    It can be used as even a single bet instead of increasing the risk by adding a couple of more games with much smaller odds for example. Juventus have started the season really well. 2 wins, 1 draw while scoring 6 goal and conceding none. I'm starting to like Motta despite that boring Roma game.    I hope he adopts an attacking game most of the time. At least until facing a much bigger team.
