Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Docnaster]

Juventus must share points with Napoli, and it's a very boring game. They defended well. But their attack was poor. It was still their main problem. They recorded 9 total shots; only 1 was on goal.

They had more possession, so they looked decent on the ball. But their offense was terrible.

Still, there are clearly a lot of issues left for them. Especially, on their attacking line. It seems their coach, Motta, can't fix it with their available attackers. So, the only solution is to overhaul their attack.

I knew that the Juventus game against Napoli is going to be a very difficult one for both sides so I wasn't surprised to see both teams finish the game in stalemate but was shocked that it ended goalless despite the quality of attackers in both teams.
I watched the game and to be honest, Juventus was the better team but lacked creativity in the final third which is what I think stopped them from getting a goal and maybe a win at the end of the game. Thiago Motta in my own assessment is doing a good job but he must try and improve the team's prolificity if he really wants to win something or finish the season a good position. The is Juventus' third goalless draw in their last four in all competitions and that isn't a good record for a team that wants to fight for the league title.

only 0-0 in the big match this evening between Jvuentus and Napoli.
Nothing interesting happened.

They changed coach to avoid games like this, with this result and we are back in the same situation.
Even if they have changed half of the team.

They maybe need more time to knowing each other but for the moment is not looking so good.

[Weawant]

Yes the competition is going to be very strong and I most hope for Juventus because they are good and strong at the moment and they can beat Napoli. But the decision could be anything so it is difficult to say because Napoli are also among the strong team. And it can be guess by watch the match who will win and who will not.  Yes most of juventus matches are draw but in this match they will either lose or win the match. And will play very fast and well and try to score more goal. If Napoli manage to stop them the match will be in their favour. And he will recover the point lost in that match and win the match.

Juventus drew against Napoli in today's game and ofcourse I wasn't expecting so much from that game because I knew both team were almost of almost equal strength tho Napoli was looking like they have gotten a better form and are better prepared for this season then they have been in subsequent seasons but then it's quite impressive their performance is in this state currently as I had expected much more form them having the much anticipated lukaku for which they did treated osimhen terribly, since his debut, he has been of any much essence to the team than the way he had met them, I may be sounding like an osimhen fan but I'm probably not, just stating the obvious which I believe some others may be seeing aswell

Neither Juventus nor Napoli fans are happy with this result. Both teams with high potential could not score and gave clues about how the league will go. There were two teams that could not use their potential on the field and they disappointed the fans who thought they would watch a good match.

There was a possibility that the match would end in a draw but I thought it would be a draw where at least both teams scored. I thought the defense would be at the forefront in the match but I did not expect there to be no goals in the match.

Antonio Conte is experienced manager, allow him to make decisions for the club and the upbringing of outstanding players. It's not easy coupling with Napoli this season, it's been really a rough one for Napoli but they're also not relenting, bouncing back after several failed seasons means good steps for them. However fighting for the scudetto this season would be a tough one but there's always hope for elite clubs. Forwarding to today's game played between Juventus vs Napoli, it's a tied on the scoresheet, Juventus and Napoli was unable to separate themselves on scores.

Honestly, for Napoli's condition like that last season, this time I admit that at least Napoli could hold Juventus to a draw is quite good. This is a fair result for both of them, even though they each had difficulty in attacking. Each only had 1 dangerous shot on target and that was the only thing they failed to achieve. A 0-0 draw is fair enough for them. I don't want to assume and expect more from both of them, because they are exactly struggling to be at this stage after their deep slump.

Look how Conte seriously commanding and managing them from the side. It's not easy for him, but this is the best result right now.

Napoli have quality and ambition. The southern Italian side is one of Juventus' main rivals in the Scudetto race. So I'm not surprised that today's match between the two teams ended in a draw. But it was disappointing that both teams were too cautious and had no chance to give the audience a draw as they expected.
We saw both Juventus and Napoli enter the match with a cautious mentality. During the first half, the attacking stars such as Vlahovic, Lukaku, McTominay, and Kvaratskhelia did not have much space to break through or finish. The match did not improve much in the second half. Juventus and Napoli had a total of 17 shots in the match (Juventus 9 shots, Napoli 8 shots) but each team only had 1 shot on target. The match was terrible, neither team had a chance to score.

I admit that Napoli's defense was solid enough to stand Juventus's attacker. When we look at statistics, Juventus has 67% ball possession and almost controlled the game during the match. I think Motta must have a plan to sharpen their front line again, they was play draw 2 times with 0-0 results which I think he have the wrong strategy implemented. While Napoli, even they not controlling the game, but their attacker able to take advantage of many opportunities, luckily Juventus has Gleison Bremer as a defender who was able to ward off the Napoli players as become Man of the Match.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Roma's struggle is perpetual, the team is destined to struggle, part from a good run between 2012-2015 when ironically they failed every time to get their head in front and win a championship they have always been destined to be a mediocre team with inconsistent gameplay and results, taking a gamble what this team might do is always a shot in the dark, apart from the never cheating to disappoint Milan they are in league of their own.

I totally agree with you on that, Roma has always been a team of that style, however for me the time when Roma shone the most was when Emperor Totti was there and I thought things were going to be better since he left, but I don't know, I say something, I think that after the pandemic the most affected teams were the Italians and it is a fact that it was like that, until now with everything that has happened I think that Roma was one of the teams that was most affected, that is what I can deduce so far, although the problem of the technicians is something else, I don't know if there will still be an impact on it.

Capello warns Fonseca and De Rossi needed ‘time’ to flourish

Fonseca could very well follow, as his position is hanging by a thread at San Siro following one win in the opening five games including a Champions League 3-1 home defeat to Liverpool.

“I am shocked by De Rossi’s dismissal,” former Milan and Roma boss Capello told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

“If you revolutionised the squad, then he has to be given time, not fired after four rounds. It would be wrong to fire Fonseca, even if he loses the derby. Fonseca also needs time, although now it is up to him to turn things around.

“Antonio Conte made his voice heard at Napoli, both in private and public, after failing the first game, and they were given a wake-up call.

What I see is not because Napoli defense is strong but Juventus attackers are a little weak. As you said, even though Juventus has a lot of possession, it's all in vain because the attackers don't have the tactics to take advantage of the opportunity to score.

Let's compare it with the previous performance when facing Roma and Empoli with a draw that was no different from the match against Napoli. So I won't say Napoli defense is too strong because Juventus attackers can't do much.

However, I admit that Juventus defense is very strong and this should be a concern for Motta to immediately improve the performance of the attackers.

[tusandii]

There will be a big match tonight between Juventus vs Napoli seeing the odds are very tempting right
Juventus @2.24
Napoli @3.45
Draw @3.30
Of course it is very difficult to make a choice because both clubs have performed well lately, while Napoli has won in a row in the last 3 matches while Juventus has drawn in the last 2 matches against Roma and Empoli.
However, I make Juventus the favorite to win the match. Juventus must win 3 points so as not to disappoint its fans because Juventus has lost 4 points recently, a draw is not the expected result.

Napoli's new manager Antonio Conte is doing everything possible to help the club make up for their poor outing of last season while Juventus new manager Thiago Motta is also trying to repeat his impressive records at Bologna in his new club so both managers will be giving their best in the game today. Just like you rightly said, predicting this game will be difficult considering the quality of player in both teams but I'll be going for a straight win for the home side.

Unfortunately both teams only managed a goalless draw both clubs played fiercely and tried to defend rather than attack it seems that both clubs are not too determined to press each other and only want to share 1 point because what I saw in the statistics in that match was that Napoli and Juventus only had little few shots on goal. Indeed basically this match is quite difficult to predict at first I was a little hesitant to bet on Juventus because I think this club is able to win even with a narrow score and also has quite tempting odds but yes indeed that is a risk because both clubs are in good form the most important thing is that both clubs do not lose points in this match.

Juventus did well in defense as same as in other matches but their attacking system needs to improve more. If they can not improve their attacking system, they will not be competitive enough for Scudetto in this season. At least they must be able to score goal, even a single goal to win a match minimally. They will destroy Serie A if they can maintain their strong defense and can win match by match with minimal result.

In Serie A, Inter Milan are strong and they will not let a team with not too good attacking system like Juventus, win Scudetto easily. Motta in Bologna already made a magic season with them, but if we see stats of Bologna last season, their attacking system was not actually good. It maybe come from their player quality and limitations of Motta in his tactics.

It's always disappointing to see games end in a 0:0 contest. Even if the match will end in a draw at least give the fans some moments to celebrate by scoring goals. When I saw this match I thought about playing them both team score, but I later changed my mind and picked it as over 1.5 yet it didn't come through. Juventus should better find their scoring momentum as soon as possible. If Juventus were playing away to Napoli, Napoli would have won them. But they couldn't win in their home and it's disappointing. Although it was a high profile match which was a bit difficult to predict, but with this result I will say Napoli will be more satisfied than Juventus because Napoli played at away and their objective was to go there and get a point and they succeeded. Juventus should better wake up and better their performances.

It was a fight between two strong teams and there was no winner. This result probably pleased both teams the most. Any team would have preferred a draw rather than a loss in this match, this was such a match. I think it will be a good season for Juventus in the Italian league. They are currently undefeated. Napoli also lost 1 match but they are above Juventus in terms of points. It was a good match.

[MarjorieZimmermanGinger]

I feel AC Milan is just getting confused afterthe got Pioli was fired they could have had good performances with any coach and now you can see they wanted get improve after getting Pioli fired from this team but still they had disappointing performances in the games we saw from this team so far. However, they recently had a win in Serie A but that's not enough for them since they lost the most important game in the Champions League and that's why think AC Milan win soon and get Fonseca fired from this team.

The coach has not determined the right formation so AC Milan's game is not completely consistent and if the coach does not find the weak points then I think AC Milan will have a hard time competing with other teams. Being in tenth place in the standings is not a good position even though they have only played four games. AC Milan have only managed to win one game when they faced Venezia and the rest they drew and lost when they faced Parma.

Next they will face Inter Milan and I think this will be a difficult game because Inter Milan are much more consistent at the moment. I predict AC Milan will lose again when they face Inter Milan especially the match will take place at Inter Milan's home ground.

I agree with that with a draw for both of them is much better than who looks strong in this match, from both sides both are equally strong but still the disadvantaged is Juventus as the host, this draw for Juventus that they are undefeated this season, so it's just that Juventus' game and attackers have not been so lucky in their instincts to create goals in every match, but until now Dusan Vlahovic has not had a significant impact I think Thiago Motta should look for a replacement for Dusan Vlahovic in filling the midfield, in order to improve Juventus' front line which still has minimal contribution to the club.

Napoli and Conte are still adapting to the game and tactics so the players still need to apply the tactics that Conte will give for the next matches, for a draw I think it's still pretty good for Napoli.

Of course in this match they are too focused on their defense and do not want to take the risk of playing too forward, because both teams want to take advantage of the mistakes made by the opposing team so they can use them to score goals, in fact until the match ended both teams played with a score of no goals which made them have to share points, with this result there is not much change for them in their position.

However, the day before I had assumed that both teams would play with a tempo of play that was not too daring but in the second half Juventus played quite well but in fact there were no results, and with this 0-0 result I managed to win the Under bet because I saw how the meetings of these two teams in Turin were often Under and I bet on this match and the result I got a win.

Juventus did not play openly in this match, they will play safe to not make mistakes but in doing so they also do not seem to insist on winning this match.
Juventus have drawn in 3 consecutive Serie A matches and there is no improvement for that, their performance tends to be monotonous and there are not many different tactics from Motta.

It is still early in the season and the new Juventus coach still needs time to make this team rise, but if there is no prospect in a positive direction, I think everything will be the same, nothing will change.

[Velvet78]

I'm glad that my bet on under 2.5 goals won for the Juventus - Napoli game. Normally it isn't the kind of a bet I prefer. Because you know it is more stressful not to wait for goals than the opposite.    It was a boring 0-0 score. If it was played in Napoli's home then I wouldn't bet on the same thing. Because it differs a lot. Juventus are much better at defending and keeping a score advantage at their home.

Anyways... Now it is time to wait for the Milano derby tonight. I added Inter win to my parlay as well. I hope Lautaro starts improving by this game. That would make things easier for me. 

[Majestic-milf]

 Early kickoff games are always full of drama and this one between Lazio and Florentina is something I'd describe as dramatic because for the better part of the game the two sides have been struggling with a draw and then all of a sudden, Nuno Tavares decided that a win for Fiorentina will be nice and had to award a penalty in the 88' to Dodo.
 This will be their(Fiorentina )first win since this season started and a good one to give the fans since it's at home and Lazio are looking to see if they can rectify the mistake of Tavares and get a point but the way I'm seeing it, it's over for them.
