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.

[Dr.Bitcoin_Strange]

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 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?

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 the match has draw.

Is Juric their permeant manager or is he an interim one? I mean as far as I know he is interim, and that is what we all read online, but it is 5th game now, maybe that's alright for now because 5 isn't all that much but there isn't any talks about them getting another person neither, like we haven't heard any big news yet, so it is not looking like they are getting anyone tomorrow, or if it happens then it will be a surprise to all of us. Why this matters is obvious from these results, they are looking terrible with Juric at the helm, well to be fair they looked terrible with De Rossi as well, and when it was Mourinho they were awesome at Europe, but still terrible at league to be fair, not this terrible though. I wonder who they will get and when.

We must be aware before placing bets on Juventus matches. Juventus started the season well. But right now, the team's performance is as weak and erratic as it was in the past. I don't expect anything good from this team this season.

The Cagliari team is relatively weak. And this match was also in the home match of Juventus. The match was dominated by Juventus, but even then the Juventus team failed to win the match. Juventus players have 74% ball position in the match. Juventus players were able to attack a lot. But Juventus can't score more than one goal. This is indeed the failure of Juventus.

It's a good news for Pogba to get rid of Juventus deal, not because it would be bad for him to play there, but he wouldn't play there, we all know he couldn't be fired during the investigation process and the punishment etc, so now he is out, he won't be given time there, so there is no reason to be not getting any time and still be on contract. Plus, he is young enough that he can find himself a contract somewhere, it should be fine, I keep saying the same thing but Saudi Arabia is the best place he could go to, he can be a star there again.

I haven't seen any big names that go there and come back yet, not many at least, and Kante was close, but Pogba may actually do that eventually. Lets see what happens but this contract termination will definitely open up a lot of doors for him. When he is out of contract, that means they just have top ay him alone and if he doesn't ask for a huge amount, he can go anywhere, and this should help his agent a lot.

I have began to think that Roma performance defaults is just from the management. Their performance is not stable anymore and it is not even encouraging just take a look at their performance this season they either lose or go on a draw, which is not encouraging at all. Although if they want to maintain their standard of the team, they will do what they are supposed to, if not they will still keep going down. Just take a look at. Out of the 7 games they played in serie A this season, they were just able to won 2 game, draw 4, and lose 1. But still to me I don’t see any difference between their draw and lost game, it is almost the same thing.

Football changing and going entirely into new phase. Juventus have no business with this player, infact they're looking forward to terminate his contract because of the bad records. Paul Pogba ruined his football career with his own hands if you ask me. Getting positive evicted for doping in football is  generally punishable. We have watch how the Frenchman have fall from grace to grace, we're not talking about his money but we're more concern about his career that's currently hanged in the air. Paul Pogba will be free agent and if he gets lucky signing for another elite club, I guessed it's not over yet for him. Physically he's fit and knows how to coupled up tangible goals.

AS Roma's performance with Ivan Juric has not shown significant improvement. In fact, in the last match it was quite disappointing because they lost to Mona, a small team that Roma should have been able to defeat them.

Ivan Juric admitted that, if it's a shame for them not to win this kind of match, where most middle clubs can beat them. And not only that, Monza is a club in the relegation Zone.

Ivan Juric said:

“It’s a shame because Roma played really well today. We controlled proceedings and created so many chances – it’s been a while since we created that many. We need to improve at finishing them off, though. Aside from the goal we only gave the opposition one opportunity to find the net."

What do you make of De Gea's impressive performances this season with Fiorentina?

David De Gea is indeed a great goalkeeper I am not surprised if he is able to ward off 2 penalties committed by Theo Hernandez and Tammy Abraham he used to be Manchester United's mainstay goalkeeper and until now I still believe him as a good goalkeeper I think Fiorentina is lucky to be able to get the services of this goalkeeper look at Manchester United now without David De Gea their defense looks so weak Onana can't give what David gave before so his arrival at Fiorentina will have a good impact on the club's defense hopefully with a win against Milan can make Fiorentina more confident to face the next matches.
