Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

I think Roma is finished. They keep bottling more points from their opponent. They played badly in this game. They missed so many chances owned by their attackers, and are struggling so badly to score goals. They recorded 65% possession, 15 shot attempts, and it's just to get a draw against a bottom of the table team.

I'm only seeing Dovbyk as the positive in their squad. He is the only one who knows how to put the ball in the back of the net.

The season is already over for them after they got several bad results in a row.

Today Juventus fans must be really sad to lose points against Cagliari home.    They kept the score at 1-0 so long and Cagliari didn't give up which brought the equalizer in the last minutes. Juventus had very limited time to answer so here we are. The problem started to be clear once again for them. Scoring productivity is once again not good enough...

If you look at their last 5 games carefully, you will see 3 draws with 0-0 scores. They are again suffering the same problem while being solid in defense. I hope Motta can figure a way out otherwise it might be really painful.

Motta is also unhappy.

Yes, Juventus played well but they were unable to hold onto the one-goal lead, this is the reason why a lead of only one goal is not enough in most of the cases. You never know when the opponent will be able to score. that might happen because you make a mistake or the opponent starts playing really well.

In the end, I will say that this match was not good for Juventus. Because first of all, they have missed out on three points, and at the same time they also had a red card. You know, Juventus had a very good chance to be on the second position. But I think the positive that they can get from this so far is that they have not lost a single match so far this season. But the problem is they have only one win in the last five matches. And they have done something similar at the end of the last season as well. For which they got heavily criticized as well.

Of course, a goal ahead of your opponent cannot guarantee you victory because at any moment, your opponent can equalize the goal as long as the match is not yet over. Leading with one goal only gives the the advantage of winning the match if it ends that way. Most clubs do put themselves back in the game and sometimes win the club that was leading

Juventus is not consistent and that will affect them in the long run despite being second on the table because they are only leading Inter with one point, and from Inter's last match, it shows that they're trying their best to see how they can be consistent in their matches.

Over the weekend in the Italian Serie A, former Manchester United goalkeeper David De was the hero after saving a penalty in Fiorentina's win against Italian giants AC Milan. His incredible performance in that game have drawn so much praises for the former Spain national team first-choice goalkeeper and the most notable of all these praises came from the club manager Palladino who in his words said "Trust me, he’s still a monster. David de Gea is still a top, world class player”. The truth is even before David De Gea left Manchester United, he was still a world class goalkeeper that was at the top of his games so I wasn't too surprised that De Gea is still delivering world class performances. What do you make of De Gea's impressive performances this season with Fiorentina?

Paul Pogba's doping suspension has been reduced. His 4-year suspension has been reduced to 1.5 years. Thanks to this, Pogba will be able to return to professional football in March. It's unclear whether Juventus will use him in the squad. According to the news for now, Juventus management is not planning to continue with him. But things could change by March. Honestly, I think Pogba can still perform at a high level and play for the big teams. If Juve don't use him, he will have many offers coming.

That's sad. Juventus and Pogba have decided to part ways. They will let Pogba leave the club as a free agent starting in March 2025.

I think it's more a financial decision by the club. Pogba has a very high wage. But, things could change if he agreed to a big pay cut. However, I'm still thinking he's a liability if they keep him much longer. And they're completely fine without him on the squad.

Genoa is not too much of strong team but in their last match with Bologna they defeated them which is giving me some confidence to believe that Genoa is also going to win in their next fixture expected to hold on 19th of this month. Genoa can actually fuck up even while playing at home, that's why I don't even want to put so much confidence in them. What do you guys think about their next match?

I guess that the final decision will definitely be a contract termination from both parties, maybe the best way is taken by Juventus who don't need Paul Pogba anymore.

I don't know how much Juventus have to pay for Pogba's salary every season, if it's too big then it will burden the club who have difficulty paying it but I'm sure this is the best decision.

Just waiting for the next news which team will be interested in Pogba? Some rumors circulating on social media that teams from MLS are also interested including the Arab League as well.

Juventus lost points in a match in which they took the lead with a goal in the early minutes.Juventus hosted Cagliari at home and lost 2 points with a penalty goal in the last minutes.They are the only team in the league without a defeat, but they are 3 points behind the leader in terms of points.They are one of the teams with the most draws with 4 draws.
Bologna is another team struggling to get a win.They had chances against Parma at home but couldn't take advantage of them and drew without a goal.I expected Bologna to score a goal, especially after Parma was reduced to 10 men early in the second half.

They missed so many chances owned by their attackers, and are struggling so badly to score goals. They recorded 65% possession, 15 shot attempts, and it's just to get a draw against a bottom of the table team.

The problem they have been having is the scoring because when we talk about performance they always show a good move but to score becomes the most difficult thing for them, if only the club will have someone very fierce in scoring they would have been having series of winning because a good number of matches they previously played they always outperform those clubs especially there last with Monza and if it was Monza that has half of the chance they had they would have win them, however since they are on the 9 position they still have a second chance, unfortunately for them next match will be a very dis comforting match for them because already they will loss the match.

Replacing De Rossi is clearly not a good solution for this team. Because even now, after De Rossi left, Roma still hasn't changed. even though if AS Roma could be more patient and give De Rossi more time then I think De Rossi would make this team improve, albeit slowly. We see that Fonseca at AC Milan also started the season badly but AC Milan gave time to Fonseca and now Fonseca is starting to make AC Milan improve well. And yeah, it looks like AS Roma will really have their worst season to date. Unless they bounce back after the current international break. But the opponent that AS Roma faces after the international break is also a very strong opponent, namely Inter Milan. so I doubt AS Roma will get points in the next match. AS Roma's condition is quite worrying, but because this is still at the start of the season, this team still has enough time to improve everything.

Look at this, Ten Hag! Look at this!
Why are Ten Hag's outcasts always so impressive outside of Man United? Well, that's exactly what happens. Man United often do that. Come on De Gea, you really want to get a much better club and it's time for you to really show the world that you are still a goalkeeper who is dangerous to his opponents.

He could be this good, it's just that at Man United, did he get such a bad curse that he couldn't be that optimal. Or was it because there were other factors that made him unable to be optimal, and finally Man United wasted him, becoming a free agent at that time.

Genoa's defense is very weak and that is why they have conceded as many as 15 goals in 7 matches. Genoa are the first team to concede 15 goals so far this season in Serie A and they are the weakest in defense compared to the other 19 teams. The next match is against Bologna at home, but Genoa is not the favorite.

Bologna, who has currently collected 8 points from 7 matches, is certainly expected to be better than Genoa. But I don't think this is an interesting match to look forward to, unless they are fans of one of these clubs. Genoa are clearly bad even at home, while Bologna's win looks like it could be considered.

I don't know why it took a draw for most to realize Juventus is not a goal-scoring machine, they have the lowest number of goals from all top 8 teams, on average 1.3 goals per match and they had no less than three matches ending with no goal in a draw.
Why would anyone be surprised by a draw now when they did the same in previous matches, just because they managed to weasel their way out of a more difficult situation by no means are they some powerful team that would cause a shock drawing a match away, be it even Cagliari.

Yes, you are right, Juventus is not a machine.  Juventus players Bremer, Dawson and  Valhovik, who work like a machine.  It was Wilhovic who scored against Cagliari. But if you look at their difficult matches, you can judge their performance from there. Because they have played matches with strong teams, Napoli, Empoli, Roma have drawn most of the matches. Juventus have played very well in these matches, if you look at Cagliari record they have a long list of defeats. Which proves that he is weaker than Juventus but he played the match well. A surprise happened in the match when Cagliari scored to level the score at 1 by 1 but Juventus won the match with this goal.
