Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

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.

Easy victory against Venezia is indeed deserved by AC Milan because the quality of both teams is far apart so that it makes AC Milan a little easy, apart from that I think this is not the time to prove for AC Milan but they must focus on being able to improve the performance of their team which has not found its best performance at the beginning of this season and I think the victory against Venezia is quite important, this is AC Milan's first victory at the beginning of this season.

The change of coach at the AC Milan team made them have to start over from the beginning, there are many processes that must be passed and I think it is not easy.

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.

The first 3 points obtained by Milan should be a motivation that makes Milan play better in the next match, Milan previously continued to fail to win in the 3 matches so that it makes Fonsesca under pressure at the moment, Venezia is a bottom team in Serie A so indeed Milan's victory of course cannot be said if the beginning of Milan revival,  Because I think in the match against Venezia Milan actually did not get strong pressure to test their mentality in that match, but even so the achievement of 3 points is obviously very important for Milan at the moment although it does not guarantee that Milan has now risen from their slumber.

Next week we will see Milan get a real test by facing big teams in a row, the first match that is difficult for Milan to face is against Liverpool in the Champions League, facing Liverpool is not an easy job for fonsesca because so far they have a bad record when facing Liverpool in European competitions, the next match in serie A of course will be a crucial match where fans will certainly demand fonsesca to win the match In order to maintain their pride in the derby match, the match against Intermilan will be the first derby match that will be undertaken by Fonsesca this season.

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's stats below.



What an awful performance from Juventus. They once again missed full points against a weak team. A terrible gameplay, No chemistry, Toothless forwards, and they don't have plan to score. It's very rough to watch their gameplay.

It felt like players don't even wanna win the game. What i can see is that they always hoof the ball to vlahovic or their winger who'll loose it.

Honestly, it's two matches in a row that we don't win because of Dusan's inability to do his job as a striker. It's gonna be fuckin crazy if Juve will hand him a new contract. what an embarassing and medriocre striker.

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

Many big clubs in Serie A have troubles in first three match days that give opportunities to small clubs like Torino, Udinese, Veron and Empoli to join top area of Serie A ranking. However among big clubs in Serie A, AS Roma after first three matches, have worst performances with only 2 points and they are temporarily in a relegation zone of the league.

In fact, AS Roma only got one defeat but with two other draws, they have only 2 points so far. The match with Genoa will be a good chance for Roma to find a first winning in this season and improve their ranking in Serie A, that will help them to prevent a crisis in early of season.

[Silence Scream]

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.

Milan scored 4 goals in the first half and broke the game early. In fact, it took them 29 minutes to score 4 goals. After scoring so quickly, bets were made that there would be more goals in the game and they lost. The game ended with 4 goals. Milan played perfectly against Venezia and deservedly won the 4-goal victory. Although there were 2 penalty goals, we watched a Milan that created and produced. It must have been good for them to get their first win in Serie A.

AC Milan recorded big winning yesterday against Venezia. Making huge difference on goals and adapting to a whole centered level. AC Milan will start from here as we would begin to watch stellar performance of the club. Our reasoning is quite different from Paulo Alexandre Rodrigues Fonseca. He's the man to examined his game statistics, always leaned on making changes that will apprehend his team. These players in the picture are vulnerable at peak, a player that added more advantages to his team will likely flop in next game. This is main reason why Fonseca had backup players.

Barnsley 0-4 AS Roma (Friendly)

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

The current line up are available and we can see the final result of the match.
From my prediction, the result of this match is really very random because both teams can give each other surprises and what you said is true that a draw can happen but it is too risky. If you really want to bet on this match, it would be better to choose BTTS with odds @1.93, because I am sure both teams will score the same score. Or you can choose to take a bigger risk on over 2.5 with odds @2.19

Venezia being a promoted side or not, something shocking could have happened yesterday against Ac Milan, knowing how poor they (Ac Milan) started the campaign we're suppose to expect that shocking result but they scaled through and got a win which to me it wasn't that impressive, like they would have scored more goals in the second half after getting 4 goals in the first half and with a red card not goal was scored but it was as if they felt relaxed and if the visitors was that strong to fight back I think they too would have gotten like 2-3 goals. Milan facing teams that are not from the same league would change their mentality of not underrating their opponent, a team like Liverpool will make the field of play very difficult for them and I don't think Ac Milan can't repeat what they did yesterday against either Liverpool or Inter Milan.

Dovbyk and Dybala are both on the pitch now. Thankfully they are having a good day as well.    Roma are 1-0 ahead with Dovbyk's goal. Dybala is also well-performing now. I don't think this is going to be a game in which Roma lose points finally. I would be happy with it too after a very poor result. De Rossi captured a three-year contract from the board so I wouldn't like him to lose their confidence in a short time.

Besides one should always be patient with the manager. We have many examples of some big teams such as Arsenal becoming very successful with their managers after a couple of years.

Roma team can't start this season well. Roma's performances have been very erratic since the start of the season. But Roma's squad this season has been quite strong. Even so, we saw poor performances from Roma in the first few matches. Especially against a team as weak as Empoli, the Roma team was defeated.

However, in today's match against Genoa, Roma players are performing well. Roma lead 1-0 at the end of the first half. Artem Dovbyk scored the only goal of the match so far. Artem Dovbyk performed brilliantly last season in Girona's jersey. Dovbyk has the ability to score a lot of goals if he gets enough support from his teammates. Dybala is also a good enough player. Dybala is also capable of playing well when the team needs it. If the pair of Dybala and Dovbyk are in good form then we will see consistent good performances from Roma. Because we have seen in the past matches that Roma's main weakness is the poor performance of their attacking players.

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.

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.

Even at that I still feel they need to step up their game because they shouldn't celebrate this winning like is the best they can give to the fans, I can only say the coach should be the one to celebrate this winning because his job is at stake. If Ac Milan should get a comfortable win against Inter Milan then they need to throw a party because is when you'd say they back to winning way, like why are they even performing poorly this very season when they have good and active players who are equally doing well in their country side and they're not in the line of players who are injury prone, even if they have any injury prone player(s) they have better replacement, so why the poor display in their previous game before the one against Venezia?
Ac Milan was impressive but is not against a weaker team that they are going to flex their muscles. That encounter has Ac Milan written all over it and Ac Milan should have turned the game into shooting practice with so many goals, I'll keep saying more goals was needed in that game. As a big team going against a smaller team that was promoted into the top flight, is best you punish them with whatever way you can to get that respect, that's why I love Manchester City, they'll make sure you struggle to even stand on the pitch before anything, if it was City the goals would have been more than 4, so Milan need to add more force when they play their next game.

[Majestic-milf]

 For me, Roma's unimpressive performance is tied to so many factors and chief amongst them is the absence of Jose Mourinho because during his time Roma were a team you could rely on to get three points from small clubs comfortably then a point from big ones. I've seen how the team is struggling to maintain the way they play while Mourinho was coach but there's just so little they can do to keep the fire going under Daniele de Rossi .
 Currently they lead by a goal to nothing over Genoa and we know that a goal is not an assurance of three points till either you add more or the game ends that way. And for the game to end that way you'd have to pray the opponents don't get an opportunity to strike or your defense is strong to withstand the pressure if not it's over.
Roma haven't won any games since the season started and they are desperate to get one, I just hope this one is the game that does it for them.

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.

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.

Yes, Juventus got off to a flying start in Italian Serie A with wins in their first two matches, but consecutive draws in the third and fourth matches made their position miserable. Now Juventus are number one in the points table with eight points from two wins after playing four matches. Inter Milan is below them. Who have already played three matches but drew in the first match but bounced back brilliantly in the next two matches and are second in the points table with 7 points. Inter Milan meet Monza Football Club tomorrow in their fourth match. If they beat Monza in this match, they can overtake Juventus and climb to number one in the points table. Milan are more likely to win this match, as they have played three matches against Monza opponents so far this season with one loss and two draws.

Honestly, it's two matches in a row that we don't win because of Dusan's inability to do his job as a striker. It's gonna be fuckin crazy if Juve will hand him a new contract. what an embarassing and medriocre striker.

what a disappointing performance from Juventus they never really attacked, in fact the greatest chance was given to Empoli who played an excellent match and made the fans enjoy themselves, overall a deserved result even if they would have deserved more empoli

The old problems in attack have not gone away, 0-0 again, although in the first two matches it seemed that Juventus had everything in order with the attack. Of course, there is a positive aspect with the fact that Juventus has everything in order with the defense. They still have not conceded a single goal, but without goals scored, there will be little sense, Inter will most likely be able to beat Juventus by two points in this round.

Roma is currently finishing their match with Genoa, and so far Roma is winning 0-1, Dovbyk finally scored a goal, I am very glad that he did it, the first goal is always the most difficult, and I wanted this goal to be so important that it would bring Roma victory.

[Farma]

I am not surprised by this result, indeed Juventus' problem is still in their attack line and even overall Juventus' team game is not so insistent on getting a win in one match.
As I said before, it is better to avoid betting on favorite teams at the beginning of the Serie A season because some of them have not found their best performance, one of which is Juventus.

The last two matches with a draw show that Motta has not resolved the existing problems and what I am even afraid of is that their mentality and confidence are getting worse because of this result.

And on the other hand, AC Milan managed to easily win the first victory this week when they played against Venezia.
This is an important start for AC Milan to be able to rise which in the previous 3 matches AC Milan failed to achieve positive results.

Juventus loses points very easily in the first matches of the league. These points losses may cause them to lose the league race. They need to collect as many points as they can in the first matches because they have the possibility of losing points when they play against big opponents. If they can get 3 points from opponents other than the big teams, it is normal for them to lose points in the matches they play against big teams, but Juventus cannot get points from the matches they can easily get points from.

I think Juventus is still the team we know and nothing has changed. They will fight for the league title for a while but then they will give up this race.

[Slow death]

1 - Juventus currently has the best defense in the league, they haven't conceded a goal yet, and they're the only team that hasn't conceded a goal yet

Yes, Juventus have not conceded a single goal, and the club has also not lost, only in their last match they drew against Roma.
So far, Savona, Gatti, Bremmer, and also Cabal have done it very tightly. Especially their goalkeeper, Di Gregorio who made several important saves for the club.

And based on the statistic, here are the lists of most clean sheets in Serie A this season:

Source: Serie A - Clean Sheets

and Michele Di Gregorio (Juventus FC), becomes the one in number 1 with 3 most clean sheets. Percentage 100%.

A few weeks before the league started, I mentioned that the new Juventus coach had a very similar way of playing to the old coach, which was based on focusing on defense, so what we are seeing so far was something that was expected to happen. Juventus did not lose, Juventus has the best defense, but Juventus is not at the top and has a good chance of not winning Serie A. Because they will be focused on defense and will not win games regularly. Yesterday they drew against Empoli, that was an opponent they could beat, but they lost points. If Inter wins, they will stay at the top. If Napoli and Torino win, they will stay at the top and Juventus will drop down.


Monza - Inter Milan

Inter's task will be easy in this round, because Monza is going through a bad moment, until now they have not managed to obtain any victory, in 3 games they have had 2 draws and 1 defeat, while Inter has not yet suffered any defeat. In 3 games they have had 2 wins and 1 draw. Inter has the following injured player: Tajon Buchanan. Monza has the following injured player: Alessio Cragno, Patrick Ciurria.

Monza possible starting lineup:
Turati; Izzo, Mari, Carboni; Pereira, Bondo, Pessina, Kyriakopoulos; Maldini, Caprari; Djuric

Inter Milan possible starting lineup:
Sommer; Pavard, De Vrij, Augusto; Darmian, Frattesi, Asllani, Mkhitaryan, Dimarco; Thuram, Taremi

My Prediction: Inter will win

It does look disappointing but Juventus at least did not suffer a defeat and the draw still saved Juventus by sharing points. Empoli also benefited from this draw, by noting that they are unbeaten in 4 matches. On the other hand, Inter will play their first match in the Champions League before facing Milan, and from Inter side the situation is quite unfavorable. Not only in the Champions League, Inter must field their best squad but against Milan they also have to win if they want to overtake Juventus in the standings.

[Altryist]

Of course, there is a positive aspect with the fact that Juventus has everything in order with the defense.

Roma is currently finishing their match with Genoa, and so far Roma is winning 0-1, Dovbyk finally scored a goal, I am very glad that he did it, the first goal is always the most difficult, and I wanted this goal to be so important that it would bring Roma victory.

Roma still failed to hold on to the winning score, it's a shame to concede a goal in the 96th minute, but that happens too. A very weak start for Roma and it seems to me that De Rossi is now losing his authority, I think that such results make Roma's management doubt that they made the right choice to keep De Rossi as head coach. Motta is also losing points with Juventus, only three shots on target in the entire match, that's too little.
