Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Fiatless]

The game ended on 3-1. Which Napoli won the game, but to be precise Como really played a wonderful game. Even though Napoli is more stronger and better than them they tried their best and they were able to get their first goal before the halftime by Strefezza. Which by than some people we’re expecting Como will create a strong defense so that they will maintain the draw, but knowing well that Napoli will like to maintain their position in the table they are so active. Although they got a penalty some minute of the second half in which lukaku won it. All I will say is that both teams tried their best but am am impressed with Como even though they lose the game but their performa Was very amazing I love it.

Despite having more ball possession, Como did not generate many opportunities. Antonio Conte is doing an excellent job of rebuilding Roma, and bringing in Rumelu Lukaku was no mistake. The 32-year-old Belgian was named man of the match for his goal and two assists. I read some comments online, and some say Conte replaced Victor Osimhen with a better player. Napoli leads the league with 16 points, while their closest rival Juventus can only get 15 points if they win their seventh league match against Cagliari on Sunday. Conte is not interested in playing entertaining football; instead, he wants results.

There's a breaking news in the media that France and Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba will start training with Juventus team from January and will be allowed to feature for the club from March. It is confirmed that he'll start playing football again from next year which I think is a great news for Juventus and the French national team. What do you make of this news and what can you say about the return of the talented midfield maestro?

I read the news and still can't understand on what basis the disqualification period was reduced. Probably, as always, everything was written off as "an erroneous drug intake"?
As for his prospects... he is 31 years old and has not shown a high level of play for a long time, and it will be difficult to return after a break. Although of course if he has motivation like Modric/Ronaldo then he has many years ahead where he can realize himself.

I was just happy to read about his return. But when I saw a post by a concerned analyst, asking the same question as yours as to the reason his ban period was reduced, I became concerned too. Without getting more details, I think Pogba appealed and a judge can grant appears based on convincing reasons, as appeal cases are often a thing of case by case.

I am happy for Pogba, because I once read when he wrote that "Paul Pogba is finished or dead". Although he later refuted the statement, good he has a second chance.

Lazio, Napoli, Juventus, Inter, Milan and even Roma all getting a win is quite possible. A few risky ones in there, Inter will be playing Torino and they do look great, they were leading the league until the last loss, if they didn't lose the last game they would have been leaders anyways.

The top four is the top four we all know, but Roma will be playing against Monza, to be fair I do not trust Roma to win games and I find them not good at all this season but Monza is the last team and has no wins at all, so while Roma doesn't look good, they look good "enough" to beat Monza as well. If you bet on all of these, as a parlay, then you get 18.00+ odds, which is huge. Milan is the one with the worst chances but I think they will win this one.

Udinese, Bologna and Atalanta also have the possibility of winning, because in any case they look a little better than their opponents. Lazio, Napoli, Juventus, Inter, Milan, AC Milan and AS Roma are the dominant teams, at first glance they will be able to win easily, unless they are having bad luck and letting their opponents create a surprise. Napoli managed to secure full points in the opening match of week 7, then followed by Verona. Thus, whatever the result of tomorrow match, it will not shake Napoli position at the top of the standings. In my opinion, even though Fiorentina has the potential to trouble AC Milan, I don't think Paulo Fonseca squad will lose full points, the same thing seems to apply to AS Roma.

I don't understand what you're saying, why is Conte linked to Roma.
Conte coached Napoli this season, he made a surprise because he quickly managed to turn things around in Napoli because last season Napoli's performance was quite bad and they often changed coaches but never found their best form.
But this season Conte has managed to bring Napoli back to the top of the standings and the players have also shown extraordinary quality improvements.

Conte got rid of Osimhen and that was a pretty good move he made because Osimhen expressed his desire to leave Osimhen at that time and Conte paved the way. As a coach who has coached several big teams, of course Conte has many strategies to bring about change this season, he believes in Lukaku and Lukaku managed to convince the coach with his big contribution. This is really extraordinary and I think Osimhen regrets leaving Napoli this season.

That can be quite good news but on the other hand this is also a new challenge for Pogba and Motta because after all for now we must be aware that in the end he has been absent for quite a long time due to the problems he suffered before so this requires re-adaptation for Pogba so that he rediscovers his lost rhythm and performance especially during the penalty lasts he is directly closed access even to be on the field with his colleagues so this can also be a problem and a new challenge for himself.

Previously he was one of the players who was quite expected in the Juventus midfield, hopefully after the ban that took up enough time due to the doping test he did not lose his touch and continued to play well when grazing again with Juventus.

Sometimes in football the team with the most statistical dominance may not be the team that will win actually as they may no be able to make the right moves to get a goal but will only be able to get the possession and attempts and make all other statistical dominance while their opponent will just be looking for an opportunity to get a chance for a counter and that will seal the victory for them and that was what happened in this game. Conte is look like he's got a good future ahead with Napoli.

Right, Napoli continued the positive trend although at first I was a little doubtful Napoli won and think como will draw but I was wrong Napoli really took advantage and yeah at least for this week Napoli are safe from Juventus. Conte managed to bring Napoli to continue playing consistently and if they continue to do it, the competitors will find it difficult to catch up, do you think Napoli have a great chance of winning the title this season?

So far we have not been able to see who Napoli's main competitors are at the top of the standings Juventus and AC Milan are closer but they cannot be consistent in collecting full points, the same thing with Inter Milan who had missed 3 matches 2 draw 1 lose. It seems we have to wait until the middle of the season and comparing which teams have the most potential.

Indeed, it seems that AS Roma players still have to adapt again to what their new coach instructed.

Source: Lorenzo Pellegrin interview

AS Roma will have a very chaotic and difficult season with big uncertainty in their coach position. Last season, they sacked Jose Mourinho and got acceptable ending result with De Rossi, but it's undeniable that result is worse than Jose Mourinho's runner-up position two seasons ago. In this season, after several matches, they sacked De Rossi and Juric was appointed. It's too early to assess Juric's management but in early matches with Roma, he did not make impression like De Rossi did last season.

yes, especially so far, they have only won 2 matches with I. Juric, and several matches that were expected to win, turned out to be the opposite, actually defeat. And indeed, maybe they still need to adapt well and be compact between the strategy of their new coach and the players.

I don't understand what you're saying, why is Conte linked to Roma.
Conte coached Napoli this season, he made a surprise because he quickly managed to turn things around in Napoli because last season Napoli's performance was quite bad and they often changed coaches but never found their best form.

Maybe he's not focused enough.  
but indeed, Napoli's performance under Conte has developed that drastically, especially with Lukaku who is getting better and better every day, playing optimally. And in this match against Como, Napoli's success in winning over Como also, Lukaku made a good contribution both in goals and assists.

Napoli looked more effective when holding the ball, they were able to create chances that ended up as goals. More possession does not guarantee winning the match, as we saw from Como game today. However, Fabregas squad looked able to put up a fight, although in the end they had to admit Napoli superiority. Conte has slowly managed to fix the chaos within Napoli, and expectations for them are now quite high. I think that's very reasonable, Conte is an experienced manager, and has proven repeatedly able to lead a team to success.

The additional three points make Napoli even more solid at the top of the standings, and they can now rest comfortably to welcome the international break. Conte can use the international break to evaluate his team shortcomings, so that they can continue to maintain their level of consistency for the upcoming matches. I didn't expect Conte to be able to solve the chaos in Napoli squad so quickly, and even without Osimhen, Napoli looks like they will be able to achieve success this season.

These sort of headlines are the headlines that make players want more because they enjoy this attention. Lukaku will be happy to be with Conte as Conte will be happy to have Lukaku as they are both helping each others careers to get back to limelight. Mctominnay will be happy and feel he made the better decision to leave the struggling Manchester United to Napoli where he has been doing well and scoring goals. Napoli have to maintain their lead and try to make sure not to loose any game before the next year when Juventus will receive a major boost with the return of their Midfielder from his four year punishment that was reduced. They have a good chance to win the Italian league with the way the team is progressing.
