Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Frankolala]

It seems that Juventus is still having difficulty in scoring goals even though they had several good chances, but unfortunately Gatti's header was still saved by the Empoli goalkeeper. Juventus is still in control of the match and it seems that Juventus wants to win tonight's match to widen their gap with Inter Milan. Hopefully there will be goals scored in the second half.

Juventus are in control of the game. It depends on how well they will take their chances in the second half. But maybe the first thing they have to do is create more chances. There were not many finishing moves in the first half. And they have to play better in the second half.

The odds for Juventus in the second half are not bad either. They have a chance to win.

The match will end kn a goalless draw only if magic happens in the dying minute of the match. Juventus was in control of the match and gained possession but they wete unable to create good chances to enable them find the back of the net.

This is the second time that Juventus has played a goalless draw two consecutive time and it is not good for them if they want to be in the title race because i don't think that Inter will lose their next match.

I see that Empoli tends to play harder to destroy the mentality of the Juventus players, so I think in the second half Motta must be able to find the right solution for overcome the game scheme and also Empoli solid defense so far,  even though the first half ended i with draw, but I sure if today match will be won by juventus.

Empoli managed to held the game to a goalless draw; they maintained their home standard and also maintain unbeaten run since the beginning of the season. This is Empoli’s third draw this season, they were only able to beat Roma away from home in their second match of the season, they keep playing draw in their last two matches. Nevertheless, I have to commend the effort of coach for bringing up this solid defense, the defense is very strong and are well organized, they don’t easily concede goals and their defensive quality saved them today including their goalkeeper.

Juventus on the other hand deserve to win the match, they created a lot of chances but their goal scoring ability is also low, that is why, despite their dominance in the game, they end up with a draw because their attackers cannot penetrate through Empol’s defense. Juventus need to be consistent if they wants to win the Seria A this season because it will not be easy especially of Inter and AC Milan get to good form.

Only 0-0 for Juventus with Empoli.
Even If Empoli proved to be a decent team, the result of this evening is a disaster for Juventus.

Losing probably points versus Inter and "damaging" the morale of the team before the 1st match of the champions League in 2 days.

If they will not win at home during the week, the negativity will start on the fans.

[stompix]

Nice, so after Liverpool now Juventus
I wonder how many bets this crashed and how many multi went to waste from it, not only a draw but a goalless one, risk takers have gone for at least on scoring or handicap, this was a bust.
With Juventus gone now I can't even think of what Milan will do, 30 minutes to go and I'm in damage control mode.

Juventus need to be consistent if they wants to win the Seria A this season because it will not be easy especially of Inter and AC Milan get to good form.

I have a feeling that in two hours this is going to look pretty funny, anyone still confident in that 1.28 on Milan?

[beerlover]

Milan need a first win to start a win streak and in fact they don't actually need a win streak at all. If they can achieve it, without a win streak, they can end their crisis and gradually come back. A win streak is great but it is not a mandatory condition to temporary end their crisis, I mean.

Champions League is where all big clubs in Europe want to join because like AC Milan with so-called Champions League DNA, will surely want to play matches in Champions League, and the other things are income and chance to improve their club's financial balance sheet as well as buying star players for improvement of squad quality.

Crisis is there and to pause it, AC Milan need to win a coming match, then moving onward with better sentiment that can help them winning next matches.

It's possible that they are going to do fine, sure they do not look that great right now but they have what it takes to do better. I believe that we are going to see them do fine, it is not going to be that crazy and can't be a big deal, we should consider this as a good thing eventually.

We need to consider this as a good thing for Milan. They still have time and it's just the start of the season and it's not that many games so far, so they have plenty of time to fix everything and do much better in the end. I am not saying that they will do fine, I am just saying they will have that chance. Which is why I think it should be important to realize that betting on Milan in the upcoming weeks will be very profitable, because if they recover then they will give good odds.

I know Empoli is always a stubborn team to score against due to their defensive pattern, but honestly, I never thought before the match started that Juventus would end up drawing the game. All my thinking was that they would win, but in the end, they drew.Now, with how Juventus is playing this season, I don’t think they’ll be able to fight for the Serie A title. A team that really wants to compete for the trophy shouldn’t start the season with such average performances, like Juventus has. Even if Juventus were to just march through the season, I didn’t expect them to be drawing games against teams like Empoli.

With the way Juventus is performing now, even in the next match, I don’t think they can win. In this match, looking at the statistics I’m seeing, it doesn’t seem like Juventus had the chance to win. Both teams had the same number of clean chances, which were shots on target. The only thing Juventus really did better was to have more possession than Empoli, but they didn’t even make good uses of it.

[Webetcoins]

While I do agree that having Lukaku is great, they had Osimhen all the way until just a few weeks ago, so the fact that they ended up with Luakku is a drop, not an improvement. If we were talking about a team that had a striker that was worse than Lukaku, then I would agree that his pace didn't matter and his age is just making him wiser and better etc etc, all of those are great and true when you do not have a striker like Lukaku.

But Napoli did, they had a player who was much better than Lukaku, but they failed to sell him and then left him out of the squad and then just loaned up out for basically nothing. This doesn't feel like it's the move any team would want to make, it looked like a bit chaotic and surely they got worse because of it as well.

Juventus is still in control of the match and it seems that Juventus wants to win tonight's match to widen their gap with Inter Milan. Hopefully there will be goals scored in the second half.

This is one problem with the Italian league, always full of surprises. It would be easy to bet Juventus to win Empoli even though they are playing away. The worst is that they could not even score a single goal. Juventus started the season well by winning their first two matches but these consecutive goalless draws is not encouraging and will surely make them lose their place at the top of the league should Inter Milan win their match tomorrow against Monza, which is highly possible even though they are playing away. From this weekend matches, it is not clear who the contenders for the title will be.

[stompix]

Well, I take that back

Feels like Bayern and Milan obliterating their opponents was some sweet revenge for Juve and Liverpool and their goalless tactics, but too little too soon. Not only should I have taken bets on the score but also on the timing of the goal, this round was like a competition in which scores in the first minutes (or doesn't score at all)

Next round it's the Derby della Madonnina, so we will see if this was a fluke against the last team in the league or if they can actually play.

A landslide victory also began with a victory at the beginning of this season, a process that took a lot of time for Fonseca to bring AC Milan to 3 points. This match also became a savior for Fonseca because if he lost, the fans would call for his dismissal. Whether the opponent they faced was really weak or AC Milan's performance had found their best game, what is clear is that 3 points bring changes to their performance.

Fonseca must understand that 4-3-3 is the best formation for the team to find victory, he does not have to fiddle with his actions because it can harm the team like in the previous match. Another good performance was also shown by their new star because Abraham managed to score his name on the scoreboard, Abraham is better than Okafor in terms of appearance today. Today's victory is certainly good for AC Milan for the derby later.

I don't know if Ac Milan has been sleeping all these while since the beginning of this season and is today they remembered to wake up and start getting things right, a big win for them with a clean sheet, that score is a strong message to the other clubs that they (Ac Milan) are back to become one of the best and also a title contenders. I thought Ac Milan would have gotten more goals after the end of first half, but they allowed a team with one man down to stop them from scoring more goals in the second half, this isn't how a team as the favorite are suppose to handle such chances of getting goals.

From another point of view, the big win actually motivated the AC Milan squad itself, instead of sending a message to the competitors that they have now woken up after sleeping for the previous 3 weeks. Venezia is a promoted club, and it is very natural that AC Milan is able to secure full points convincingly. If AC Milan fails to win this week, Paulo Fonseca could be fired. The 4-0 win has saved his career, and hopefully they can maintain that performance consistently in the future. We realize that it is difficult to happen, because they will face Liverpool and Inter Milan next. Obviously, it is a very troublesome opponent, which I think has the potential to put Paulo Fonseca under great pressure again.

[TelolettOm]

Yes, Juventus have not conceded a single goal, and the club has also not lost, only in their last match they drew against Roma.

Juventus' success usually is built on a strong defense and with what Thiago Motta did in Bologna with foundation of success from their defense system, I believe that Juventus will have better defense system in this season. Early matches in Serie A give us some signals of their strong defense system that needs to be tested more by more teams in Serie A.

Damn, I had hoped that Juventus would also win this time by getting the full 3 points. Indeed, until today they have not conceded a goal, but the 0-0 draw against Empoli this time was not according to predictions and expectations. We thought that Juventus would definitely win, but it didn't happen.

How many times Vlahovic tried to attack and score, but nothing happened. Defenders and also the opposing goal keeper always managed to block it very well.
And I really appreciate Empoli's efforts in successfully blocking Juventus' attacks, and also being able to carry out quite a worrying counter attack.

AC Milan's performance cannot be said to be getting better because the opponent they are facing is the team at the bottom of the standings. Both teams have different strengths because AC Milan has many star players while Venice is a promotion team. Although there are many assumptions that AC Milan's performance has improved, I think we have to watch AC Milan face a team that is equally strong like Inter Milan.

AC Milan has not found a replacement for Giroud in the front line, that is a big problem for them at the start of this season. The players also have difficulty understanding the strategy, so it really disrupts their performance at the start of the season. The victory in this match brought AC Milan to 8th place, they must be able to improve their performance if they want to compete in the scudetto this season.

Paulo Fonseca job was on the line this season after he failed to record suitable win for AC Milan but there's none like such because AC Milan have bounce back to winning games. AC Milan grabbed their first winning today at Stadio Giuseppe  Meazza. This game was one of the finest game for Rossoneri this season, having the space to bagged 4 goals in a single game definitely send a message to other oppositions on their pending fixtures. The game was entertaining with AC Milan have pulling forced and never relent because this were desperate for first victory of the season. Venezia is average club and having absolute possible weakness spotted out. One more thing, AC Milan should work on scoring more goals because the second halve was boring with both parties failing to score.

We thought that Juventus would definitely win, but it didn't happen.

This is a bad result for Juventus and they might lose the temporary first position to other clubs after completion of this match day. Thiago Motta still has many things to do for improvement of Juventus attacking system as so far, their defense system works well while attacking system does not.

Vlahovic is strong and ambitious striker and always plays very energetically but this photo makes me worry. Did he get an injury from this situation and from this match against Empoli?

Such situation like in the photo can cause a very serious injury for attacking player like broken leg, ankle and so on, but I hope Vlahovic is fine and will be able to play next matches for Juventus.

[Gallar]

Milan needs to achieve a winning streak to get out of this situation, but when we look at the match schedule, there will always be difficult matches after this match. There will also be Champions League matches in between and this period will be very tiring for Milan. They will get used to the match tempo and try to earn three points in every match because three points are vital in the new format of the Champions League. I think they will overcome their bad luck against Venezia and probably win.

Yes, during these bad times, Milan did have a busy schedule, one of which was playing in the Champions League. So what is certain is that the Milan players must be able to maintain their physical and mental condition well. So that Milan can continue to play optimally in all the competitions they will play this season. Apart from that, Milan also needs to improve their performance, because currently Milan is having difficulty winning the several matches they have played. However, luckily fresh air came to Milan, because in last night's match Milan was able to win the match against Venice. Apart from that, Milan was able to win with a fairly landslide score in this match (4-0). Maybe by winning this match, the Milan players will definitely be well motivated again.

The reason is that next week Milan will start competing in the Champions League and the opponent they will face is not a weak team, namely Liverpool. So mental and physical fitness is really needed in this match. The reason is that being able to win the match against Liverpool is certainly not an easy thing. Remembering that Liverpool is a team that is very feared in the Premier League. For this reason, Fonseca as Milan coach must prepare everything carefully to face his first match against Liverpool. Apart from that, Milan is in a quite difficult group in the Champions League. The reason is that this season Milan will face strong teams such as Liverpool, Leverkusen and Real Madrid. So with this, Milan really has to be ready in every way to take on all these matches.

Venezia is average club and having absolute possible weakness spotted out. One more thing, AC Milan should work on scoring more goals because the second halve was boring with both parties failing to score.

Finally, Milan managed to win after previously only being able to score 2 draws and one defeat, this match was so heretical for Milan because Venezia was not as strong as Fiorentina or Atalanta, the four goals that Milan managed to score against Venezia in just 30 minutes indicated that this match was so easy for Milan. Milan seemed to relax their attacks and chose to play it safe after taking a big lead, Paulo Fonseca made several substitutions in the second half to maintain his team's fitness because in the next match they will face Liverpool in the first match of the Champions League.

This victory provides some consolation for Milan players after failing to win in the last three games, but they should not be too arrogant because Venezia is not a strong team. Milan's performance is still far below Juventus and Inter Milan, I'm not sure Fonseca can get full points against other strong teams because until now his performance is still very unstable.

Finally, This is a good win. The most important thing was to win
Has Milan woken up? It's hard to judge since it was just Venezia.
Let's see where Milan is in the next two games, but I still hope they win against the big boys (Liverpool and Inter)
And Gabbia and Pavlovic are the CBs of this team. I hope Fonseca doesn't make a mistake benching Gabbia on Tuesday. he earned the right to start the next match.

Genoa vs AS Roma

AS Roma performance in the last 5 matches in all competition

Barnsley 0-4 AS Roma (Friendly)
Everton 1-1 AS Roma (Friendly)
Cagliari 0-0 AS Roma (Serie A)
AS Roma 1-2 Empoli (Serie A)
Juventus 0-0 AS Roma (Serie A)

Roma in the serious problem i think because in Serie A since last season Roma only can able to win once from 8 matches so this is obviously poor records and according to the statistics above we can see Roma also still unable to gets the winning results this season besides that if we see from meeting statistics between them and Genoa i can see Roma always be hard struggling to gets the winning results because from 19 meeting Roma only can able to beat Genoa 4 times but i don't think Roma too will be easily to beated because Genoa condition also similar to them so that's why for this match i am thinking possibility to pick draw and the odds for draw is quite high to bets @3.35 or under 2.5 goals seems good too
