Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[puloweh555]

I find it very surprising that out of a sudden Napoli is getting along so well. After their horrific start into the season, I thought that taking into account the Osimhen drama, they would have a ton of problems to play a strong season. Now they are greeting everyone else from the top of the table. It is a pretty impressive situation if you ask me.

Yes. This is very impressive because with this victory they managed to extend the positive trend, it can be said that Conte began to show his magic touch with Napoli. Because at the beginning of the season Conte got disappointing results and the Osimhen drama also made Napoli doubtful this season.
But now Conte has proven that they can be tough competitors this season after winning the next three matches which made them now at the top of the Serie A standings after Inter failed to win over Monza.

The next test for Conte is against Juventus next week. If they manage to beat Juventus, I think Napoli will be a serious competitor for the Serie A trophy this season, especially since Napoli is not playing in the UCL league so they can focus on Serie A.
Napoli has a great chance to beat Juventus because Napoli has a lot of time to prepare for the match against Juventus, while Juventus must play against PSV first before facing Napoli. Of course this will drain the stamina of the Juventus players.

It is deeply regretted Inter Milan was only able to get a draw in today's match even though I favored them to win this match, Inter Milan seemed to have a hard time scoring goals even until the last minutes of the match and Monza scored first in the 81st minute and made me a little frustrated because I thought Inter Milan would lose but in the 88th minute Inter Milan was able to equalize even so I was still not happy with this draw because it made my bet lose -_-

For the Atalanta vs Fiorentina match, honestly I was a little hesitant to make a choice but I chose to bet on a double chance Atalanta/Fiorentina to win and in the end Atalanta managed to maintain their 3 points.

Haha I already expected this result before when I check all the matches in week 4 and almost all the strong teams who played away only drew except Napoli who won by 4 goals but other teams like Juventus, AS Roma draw so I think the same thing about inter Milan and that's true final result 1-1, I often watch how Serie A is played we know some of them are unexpected even Inter Milan almost lost, luckily they were able to equalize the score in the 88th minute. I can't imagine if they had to lose lol.

For now Napoli takes over the standings after 3 consecutive wins but Napoli are only 1 point ahead of their rivals so it's not enough to say it's safe at least for this September, their new signing Romelu Lukaku has finally taken part in Napoli win , scoring goals in his last 2 games. Next, we are still waiting to see whether Romelu Lukaku can contribute to Napoli's achievements in the next match and Conte's decision to ignore Osimhen may have been the right one at least reduce the burden on the club.

Inter Milan needed an 88th minute goal from their Dutch player Denzel Dumfries to get all three points in their Italian Serie A game against Monza tonight which to me was surprising. Despite playing away, I expected Inter Milan to get all three points from game no matter how narrow the win will look like but unfortunately for them, all the could get from the game was a point.
Inter Milan's next game will be a UCL away game at Manchester City and coming from the back of this result against Monza, I think Inter Milan might find it very difficult to get a result at City.

Yes and that was the only goal they got to avoid defeat and equalize from Monza who are one of the lower teams and team that clearly has performance quality far below Inter Milan.
I was surprised by Inter Milan game which was not as competitive as in some of their previous matches, Inter Milan had quite good dominance of the match and they had lot of opportunities in every attack attempt, overall Inter Milan had 16 shots and only two were really on target for Monza.
After this they will play in their first UCL match, but they have an opponent that is not easy to beat, namely Manchester City, I sure Inter Milan will really feel the strength of Manchester City again like when they met in the 2022/23 UCL final.

[X-ray]

Inter Milan didn't manage to score any goals in the first half against Monza and we didn't even see a good first half performance from the Inter Milan players. This is Monza's home match. The Monza team is relatively weak. So Monza will play a defensive strategy in this match as we have already predicted. So Inter Milan should definitely play attacking strategy if they want to win against such a team. But Inter Milan had only 5 shots in the first half, and none of them were on target.

Inter Milan's gameplay is quite slow today. And Inter Milan are playing very carefully. Perhaps Inter Milan coach Inzaghi does not want to take any risks. He doesn't want any key player in Milan's squad to suffer an injury before they face Manchester City. There is no doubt that the match against City is very important for Inter Milan. But at the same time, Inter Milan need to get 3 points against Monza if they want to stay at the top of the table. In the second half maybe Inzaghi will change his match strategy.

I think either the domestic league or UCL is important for Intermilan. They played badly in this game. They had most of the ball and many shots, but only two were on target.

Again and again, Inter Milan is in the same exact situation they were in so many times. Their midfield is less creative and can't create chances. So, they had to build play through their wingbacks. They hoped for a good delivery, but their strikers never got the ball.

Intermilan needs an offensive passer in midfield. This is their only solution.

I'm doubting their chances to enter the title race with this poor performance.

After my parlay bet failure when the surprise happened in the Juventus, Torino and Inter matches, yesterday I tried to recover the loss by betting on the Atalanta vs Fiorentina and Genoa vs Roma matches.
Atalanta performed according to my prediction and produced 3 scores even though it almost ended in a draw because Fiorentina was able to put up resistance.
And for Roma performance, they could actually have produced 3 points in yesterday's match. But unfortunately as we see that the lack of focus in defense made Roma have to share the score.

[bering]

No Osimhen is fine i think Conte want to says this to the Napoli fans because without Osimhen Napoli can performing well and i can see Napoli is change much better than last season with Conte so this makes me thinking probably Napoki can joining with Inter Milan or Juventus for race title and yesterday after beat Cagliari finally Napoli can able to occupy first place again which this could not be done by them last season

Since the loses from Verona Napoli is really on fire because they can gets 3 winning streak besides that i have been notice Kvaratskhelia performance under Conte is much better compared to last season and so far until week 4 he has scores 2 goals and create 2 assists and do not forget too about Lukaku because i can see him can scores in the last 2 matches with Napoli in Serie A

Napoli seems to have pulled themselves together this year. Although they created some question marks in the first match, they have achieved a good winning streak at this point. They have become a contender for the championship again because their opponents Inter and Juventus lost points. Napoli is even more ambitious to win the Italian league this year. I see this determination in them. They lost a star player like Osimhen, but they do not miss it.

I agree Inter Milan game against Monza was disappointing. They had 16 shots but only two were good enough to score. They struggled to control game and score. Now they face Manchester City in UCL and I think they will have  tough time. Manchester City is very strong and they beat Inter Milan easily in their last meeting. Inter Milan needs to improve their offense and defense to compete with City aggressive style.

Not only Inter Milan who experienced bad results but their rival Juventus also got bad results in the match against Empoli, but on the other hand Napoli was able to rise to first place overtaking all clubs such as Inter Milan and Juventus who were held to a draw and Napoli was able to beat Cagliari with a landslide score of 0-4, of course this achievement with positive results with changes in tactics given by Conte and Napoli.

I think Inter Milan has the players needed and even the attackers who are relied on are also available with mature passes from the winger sector, but here I see that the improvement of Inter Milan's opponents is getting much better than in previous seasons, so that's why Inter Milan has difficulties this season, and this is not because of players or needing incompetent players or suppliers but rather the opponent's determination is getting better to face clubs like Inter Milan or other big clubs.

Napoli are topping the Seria A table in early starts of the season. Fair enough for Napoli to handled complex games fixtures this season, however their stats in 4 league games played this season, 3W 0D 1L not a terrible stats coming from the new manager incharged. He should be given more time to create good chemistry between his players because his core moments are basically winning league games and also lifting trophies with them. The coach is strictly bend on recovering Napoli from shackles and putting them into the light. More like the comparison form under their former coach, Luciano Spalleti. Antonio Conte have no room for disrespect and will always followed up tangible results.


Napoli missed out on some big names and this becomes concerning for the club to have a shaky ground. Concerning sights Victor Osimhen. No Victor Osimhen in the Napoli squad this season, and they're having one of the best performance in Seria A this season. Although they started on a wrong foot but paving chances to winnings and they're spectacular in style. Antonio Conte have come to changed the settings of Napoli since becoming resuming the managerial role. He made his own signings in the frontline, bringing his former striker in Inter Milan, Romelu Lukaku who's brave enough to handle crucial roles given to him.

I agree with your observations. After his unceremonious departure from Napoli because he was being treated poorly, Conte tendered an apology and for me that act was done so he can please the media and not because he really meant it. It doesn't matter if the club can survive without Osimhen or not, the important thing is the Nigerian made his mark at the club and the others will have to work hard before they can beat that record.

Napoli started the season quite badly because of the defeat to Verona and if we pay attention to the match, it was precisely the attacking line that was their problem at that time, but Conte who was finally able to get Lukaku as a replacement for Osimhen and put the Napoli squad back in balance at this time, Osimhen's departure was a big loss actually for Napoli considering they did not manage to sell him according to the release clause owned by Osimhen,  But I don't think we can blame Conte for Osimhen's departure considering that Osimhen's desire to leave began to appear before the end of last season, what is happening to Napoli today actually confirms that they do not depend on Osimhen, so even if Osimhen is currently gone, of course Napoli can still be better with the current squad their have,  the role owned by Kvaratskhelia will not change as a player who provides support to the Napoli attacking line like previously and I think he can also play as well as he is now with Lukaku although he not had close chemistry like when playing with Osimhen.

It was a great stroke of luck that Inter drew with Monza so the gap in the standings does not increase between Juventus who are currently the team that will want to win the championship, but for now a surprise is that Napoli is at the top and they will need to stay for a long time, meanwhile Lukaku wins and convinces and they are first

Inter Milan needs to improve their offense and defense to compete with City aggressive style.

It was a bad day for Inter Milan. They dominated the match in almost every angle but failed to get the goals. Monza defended almost throughout the game and took the meagre chance they had to get a goal. That was when Inter woke up from their attacking slumber and managed to score one. It's sad to see Monza lose three points because they would have defended that goal since they scored when the match was already coming to an end. This is the first time Manchester City and Inter Milan are meeting after they met in the Champions League finals in Istanbul, Turkey, in June 2023. City was not also impressive in their last game in the EPL. They had to struggle to beat Brentford. The game will be entertaining and might end in a draw.

I haven't seen a worse performance from Intermilan for a while now like that of yesterday. I think they are more concern about their next two upcoming matches which include Manchester city. Inzaghi wants to have his complete squad against fitted against Manchester city on Wednesday but that's not an excuse for playing without shots on target against a team as small as Monza.

 If they should continue with this mentality, they will lose so many points in the league just to get to round of sixteen in UCL and eventually get eliminated. The risk is not worth it to sacrifice the domestic league for champions league.They were even lucky to have recovered and equalized that lead. I don't see them going anywhere with their current midfield .

[Ondekinecakabilirim]

Today there are two matches in the Italian Serie A. Parma will play against Udinese and Lazio against Hellas Verona. Lazio have collected 4 points in the first 3 weeks this season. Last week they played a great game against Milan. And they got 1 point from that game. They are currently 11th in the league. But I think they deserve a better ranking. On the other hand, Hellas Verona are one of the surprise teams of the league this season. They started the league with a win against Napoli. Last week they beat Genoa in the away match. They are no easy target. I see Lazio one step ahead in this match, but I will bet on both teams to score. Because Lazio made a lot of mistakes in defense against Milan.

Monza looked extraordinary when they were able to take the lead over their visitors Inter Milan because both teams were only able to score goals in the second half. And the draw has certainly made Inter Milan's points the same as Juventus in the current standings, but what is a little painful is Napoli who have managed to sit in first place after being able to beat Cagliari with a big score without reply when Napoli visited Cagliari's headquarters. But if Udinese is able to beat Parma in today's match, of course Napoli will also be displaced by that team.

[Velvet78]

Milan finally won a game after getting really poor results for three weeks. It was a really big one though. 



Pulisic was the star of the night clearly. By the way people spreaded news related to Leao such as he was left out of the squad. But he played in this game without problem. Why did they spread such rumours? 

If he was left in such position I'm sure there would be a team going for a loan. I'm not saying a permanent signing because you know his value is very high (90 million euros). Who knows how much Milan would ask for him.

We couldn't see the same effort from Roma unfortunately... It is sad to see De Rossi's team struggling too much.

[SmartCharpa]

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.

Can we say that Juventus is still unbeaten in the league this season, or are they just having a bad season? It is poor that Juventus was unable to secure full points at Empoli's home ground; with Juventus starting this season, I did not expect them to have a poor performance against a weak team. However, Juventus will face PSV in the Champions League tomorrow, perhaps they do not want to risk having any injured players, which is why they didn't put much effort into the game against Empoli. I will not consider Juventus a failure because of the result of their last game since Inter Milan, the champion of the previous season, drew against Monza and now has the same points and goal as Juventus.

Juventus has struggled to find a top striker since last season, I was not happy with Dušan as their main striker, they did not need an average striker to compete in all competitions this season, after Motta removed Chiesa from their squad this season, I expected Dušan to follow as well, as the team needs quality players to succeed this season.
