Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Catenaccio]

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.

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

They made big mistake since a day they sacked Jose Mourinho. Hiring De Rossi while they knew that he is a newbie in coach career and weeks ago, they made another management mistake by firing De Rossi and hiring Juric.

Results with Juric show that he is not a better coach than De Rossi and in a second half of past season, De Rossi shown that he is not a better coach than Jose Mourinho. They fired a Champion to hire two other coaches who are both not better than the champion Jose Mourinho. And they are done with Juric and with this season too if he continues with him till the season ending, not spot to Champions League next season.

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.

They did not give De Rossi enough time and the coach was sacked when Dovbyk struggled with his early matches for Roma. If Juric is not better than De Rossi, I think it's better for Roma if De Rossi is still their head coach.

I took a break and I'm not betting anymore. Because now I hate Juventus. The surest bet is lost. Involuntarily, thoughts about match-fixing begin to come. On the other hand, football is like this, and always has been, when the surest bet is lost. After such a loss, it's not even interesting to watch UEFA, or football in general.

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?

From being doubted when he first arrived in Serie A, David de Gea has just had a performance that has surprised both Italian and European football. Many people think that De Gea is outdated and no longer capable of playing at the highest level. However, his impressive display at Fiorentina was a reminder that De Gea remains a world-class goalkeeper in his position.
Although he is considered "out of date" at MU, he can still shine if given the opportunity. De Gea quickly overcame the difficulties, came back strong, and proved that his class had never been lost. I think when witnessing De Gea's top performance, MU fans will feel regretful and Erik Ten Hag will be mentioned again. After his performance against AC Milan in round 7 of Serie A. Should we call David 'Spiderman' or 'Alien'?

On the other hand, football is like this, and always has been, when the surest bet is lost. After such a loss, it's not even interesting to watch UEFA, or football in general. 

The UEFA Champions League is generally the top league in football and watching our favorite clubs played in the tournament is certain level of upright support for football. However football in general comes with unexpected results and we should be ready for whatever outcome triggered. The chances of winning a bet comes under 50/50 chances and that's exactly how to become profitable. You singlehandedly go straight ahead to place a wager on these clubs? Remember Juventus is no longer considered to be in their top prime, there have been unsettled odds for these clubs.

Seria A is no longer referred to as the farmer's league compared Ligue One and Bundesliga, everything swiftly changed when these elite clubs decided that enough was enough, they had formidable form and this alone tends to be threats for Bianconeri. They suddenly got surpassed by these oppositions and till today, we're no longer watching the top prime but some settled pieces of the club.

Juventus is winning but one goal at 84 minutes  and the goal was scored in first through penalty by Duhan Vlohovi. I will not say that this is a motivating result because I expected them to win nicely and not just through penalty. They are playing home and are obviously the favorite against Cagliari so it was expected that they win them decisively because they have to keep focus on winning as many matches as possible if they want to turn their current situation around as they are almost becoming an average team in the Seria A.

While typing, Cagliari has just equalized the goal and that is not looking too good for Juventus. They will have to maintain their fourth position and if AC Milan wins their match, they will be displaced to 5th position.

I believe Juventus intentionally drew the match against Cagliari, Juventus had 9 shots on goal, none were able to converted into goals, even though Juventus scored one goal in the first half through a penalty. Nobody expected Juventus to draw against Cagliari because they were hosting and likely the favorite to win, but despite dominating the game with 74 possession of the ball and 21 shots in total, they failed to score another goal aside from the penalty. I was quite disappointed with the draw because Juventus was the last team to win on my ticket, yet I wasn't happy with the one goal because anything could happen at any time, and the match finished in a draw after Cagliari was awarded a penalty in the 88th minute of the game.

However, Juventus was lucky that AC Milan lost their last game against Fiorentina; otherwise, they would have dropped to fourth place, but Milan's loss to Fiorentina has moved them up to third position. In addition, I'm not sure what AC Milan's goal is this season, they've only won three of their seven games, lost two, and draw two. Even in the Champions League, they have yet to win a game, if this performance continues, they will lose their chances of finishing in the top four this season.

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

Yes, even though this season Roma have bought several new players and changed coaches. However, this was not enough to make Rome rise from its downturn. In this match, Roma had difficulty scoring goals, even though as we know, they created many opportunities in this match. However, unfortunately this opportunity was not very useful for Roma, because in that match Roma was only able to score 1 goal and the match ended in a draw. Maybe there are many factors that make Roma's performance less good than now. In my personal opinion, Roma must make improvements in their midfield, because I see that Roma often have attacks that are not well organized and this results in less than optimal finishing. So, if for example Roma's midfield is not improved, I am sure its performance will continue like this.

The reason is that currently Roma actually has a very good striker, namely Dovbyk. Because as we know, Dovbyk was Laliga's top scorer last season. So it's not wrong to say that Dobvyk is a very good striker. That's why Roma have to be aware of this, (why is Dovbyk less productive when playing in Laliga). In my opinion, this is the sentence that Rome should be wary of. And the essence of this answer is none other than the balance of players that Roma has is still not good. Because if all the players who fill the back line, middle and wings can play well. I'm sure Dovbyk can score more goals. So currently Roma's defense is good, only the midfield needs to be improved. Apart from that, even though the balance of Roma's players is not good at the moment, I am also quite impressed with Dovbyk who can often score goals even though not many. So hopefully Roma is aware of this and can fix the gaps in their team.

I've been like this. And we intend to stop betting, but when we watch the match, it feels like something is bothering us if we don't bet on the match. But in doubtful matches I prefer to skip it or bet with a small amount. But in Serie A I often experience defeat with some surprising match results. Even last season there were several match results that lasted for several weeks with results that I thought were surprising. That is, in those few weeks there were always lots of draws. But that's what's interesting and even though it's quite annoying, that's also part of the fun.

Juventus at the start of the season played well and won the match.  But too many draws really make us quite annoyed. Because we really favor Juventus more in matches that are considered easy. But what is surprising is that Juventus are more often held to draws by opponents who are considered not so strong. I think we should get used to this. But so far I have always won more from betting on Napoli. So avoiding betting on Juventus for a while can be done. But betting on in-form Napoli would be very difficult to do. because it seems like this season I am lucky by betting on Napoli.

guys,...guys, unfortunately it often happens that matches have totaly unexpected results
for this reason football is beautiful and nice
if it were predictable it would be sooooo boring

consequently, bet little, to have fun (like me), because the only ones who earn from betting are the bookmakers (they can, we cant)

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.

Roma has sacked de Rossi after the bad achievements they achieved at the beginning of this season, the appointment of Ivan Juric as a replacement for de Rossi has indeed raised many questions and doubts so far considering that he is not a coach who has been quite good so far in coaching, besides that Ivan Jurig is a coach who has only coached a small team so that when he coaches Roma of course it is a big burden that he has to carry considering the big target from Roma So far, Ivan Juric has only been given the opportunity for one season and his position in coaching is also very dependent on Roma performance later, so we can say that if he is just the interim coach at this time, after Mourinho, I actually see, if the coach owned by Roma so far does not have the ability to bring the team to be better and it is clear that Mourinho dismissal is the beginning of their current slump.

Well that's where the fun lies. Even the annoyance we receive when we guess wrong is also part of the fun. Even when we are teased by our friends because we lost, that is also part of the fun. But it's more fun when our choice is correct and our friend who bet otherwise loses. We can make fun of them back. 

It's just that if we want to get more wins in betting, I bet more often on lower domestic leagues. because there the favorite team is always clear. But the excitement in Serie A is much more challenging. Although sometimes there have been too many surprising results in these few seasons. The important thing is not to be too serious because we just want to have fun while watching the match.

[Polkeins]

It was really David De Gea's match and if it wasn't for Girona's goalkeeper, who kicked essentially three penalties, you could say that David De Gea is the real hero of the game day.
We should also take the note that De Gea was practically a year without practice and trained by himself, so the achievement is more than serious. Fiorentina are probably already happy that they offered him a contract with the possibility of extension and despite the fact that he is the highest paid player of the team, David De Gea fully justifies the money invested in him. 

I am not surprised by this because basically De Gea is a very qualified goalkeeper and he has shown his quality since the beginning when he joined Fiorentina even though he has not been active in playing for a long time.
And it cannot be denied that De Gea is an influential player in leading Fiorentina to victory over AC Milan because of the 2 penalties that he was able to thwart.

And if we look at it from another side, AC Milan's defeat is inseparable from their failure to rise to change the game of the team that has not shown its best performance since the beginning of the season.
Paulo Fonseca is currently under real pressure now, it is already week 7 but he still has not been able to make changes in AC Milan's performance.

When Manchester United didn't renew De Hea's contract and instead bought Onana for 50 million, it was clear that it was probably the decision of Ten Hag who didn't want De Hea in the team. because even 2 years ago De Hea could have remained at least a backup goalkeeper and a contract extension would have cost 7-10 million.
Now De Hea brings wins for Fiorentina not only in Serie A, but he also helped Fiorentina qualify for the Europa League.

Fonseca got into a bad situation when he said that the penalty in the game with Fiorentina should have been taken by Pulisic, as Milan's marquee penalty taker, but in the end two penalties were taken by 2 different players and now it is not clear whether Fonseca is in control of his team or not?
Because it seems to me if players of the team twice didn't follow the coach's instructions in such an important moment is a sign of not the best discipline.

Did you just discover Roma was finished? Anytime Roma played a game, I always looked at their lineup, and I was unable to identify any outstanding players if it hadn't for Dybala and Dovbyk, whom they signed this season, I don't think Roma had any great players who could help them win their games this season, Roma lacks great players to win games, without Lukaku last season, I believe they wouldn't have qualified for the Europa League. I was shocked when they said they wouldn't sign Lukaku on a permanent deal, perhaps they thought the player wasn't worth buying on a long-term deal. Lukaku is not as good as Dovbyk, but he has already gotten used to the league and he can play for every team in Seria A without a problem.

The management believed that the coach was the team's problem, so they fired De Rossi despite still choosing a new manager, they were defeated by Elfsborg in the Europa League. Roma has only won two of the seven league games, all they could fight for is a draw, they've draw four and lost one. I don't believe Roma's performance will improve with their current squad.

Roma perhaps did not want to spend too much money for buying an old player like Lukaku but they did spent money for buying another good striker who is younger, Dovbyk.

Dovbyk actually struggled with his first season and very first matches in Serie A but he is improving and in this match with Monza, he scored an amazing goal that shows his good skills and determination too.

The management believed that the coach was the team's problem, so they fired De Rossi despite still choosing a new manager, they were defeated by Elfsborg in the Europa League. Roma has only won two of the seven league games, all they could fight for is a draw, they've draw four and lost one. I don't believe Roma's performance will improve with their current squad.

They chose Juric who never managed a big club in his coach career, and that is their newest mistake. In this match, Roma created many opportunities that are enough for them to win this match. It's just their players did not shot well and accurate enough and Kone has 3 clear chances but he can not score any goal for them. I don't know what's happening with Dybala because he has very less appearances in their squad this season.

It's not just you, we've all experienced it, the team we believe 100% will win is the one that makes us lose. Juventus performance has been unstable lately, they have drawn more in their last 5 Serie A matches. Don't miss the opportunity after that, because usually teams whose performance tends to be flat, they will have good performance. After the international break, they will meet Lazio who they play at home, it will be a tight game, but i'm sure Juventus will win.

[Uruhara]

But betting on in-form Napoli would be very difficult to do. because it seems like this season I am lucky by betting on Napoli.

Betting on Napoli this season is the same as betting on Inter Milan last season. That is, the profit percentage is always high. Because Napoli's chances of winning this season are quite high with their current quality. And last season Inter Milan's chances of winning were very high because they were very consistent last season. And we really need to avoid matches played by inconsistent teams. because it will be difficult for us to predict the results. But for Juventus I'm still confused. Are they consistent or not. Because they rarely lose. But they do get draws quite often. Thiago Motta will definitely immediately improve what is lacking in his strategy. And yes, I'm sure Juventus will get good results in the end under the coaching of Thiago Motta.

lol. Though it's funny but it's not something that's just peculiar to only you. There are times when you feel games are fixed because most of your predictions aren't correct. It's not wrong to take a break. It shows you're still in control of your gambling choices and when you're emotionally strong enough, you will certainly come back and and hopefully see positive results from your predictions.

I expected Juventus to win the game and honestly, the tried thier best even though the result didn't come as expected. Possession wise, shots, shots on target and all stats you could think of showed they were the better side but some times games are like that. As fans,.we expected to see results regardless of how deficult the game went and I'm sure that's the angle you're coming from. Let's just hope they will have a better result when they step up against lavio on Saturday.

From the games so far in the Seria A, Napoli seems to be the most consistent team to bet on. They look like a team that can top the league for a long time. Inter Milan is not also doing badly considering that they are just two points below Napoli. Inter have won two games consistently while Juventus has more draw games. We don't have to write off Juventus because they have been playing against formidable sides. They drew against Napoli, Roma and Empoli. They have also won one Champions League game and lost the recent one. They might recover from these challenges and regain the points they have lost.    

[Salahmu]

I took a break and I'm not betting anymore. Because now I hate Juventus. The surest bet is lost. Involuntarily, thoughts about match-fixing begin to come.

This is also what some of my gambling friends I no has been saying this period, though they are not talking about taking a break but instead they have decided to stop betting on some of the clubs because of there numerous losing and one of them is Manchester United because there inconsistent performance has cost those gamblers a lot of money, so actually is not only you that has been having this kind of disappointment from the clubs they believe to be having a good results, so what I normally do at times is that whenever a club I like betting on is not always doing well I will stop using them for sometime then when I saw that they are beginning to peak before I can reconsider my decision and start using them again.

Napoli's current consistency reminds me of Napoli's condition when they were still coached by Spalletti. But the difference is that in the Spalletti era, especially in the 2023 season, Napoli were unbeaten from the start of the season. They continue to win without losing. Meanwhile, in the current Conte era we see Napoli starting badly by losing 1 time in the first match. And only after that did Napoli recover and continue to improve and be consistent until now. But it doesn't rule out the possibility that Napoli can win the title again this season. If Conte is able to continue to push Napoli to its best performance. And this makes us feel more calm when betting on Napoli.

And well we can't underestimate Juventus even since last season. Because last season, Juventus even finished in 3rd place. And at that time Juventus was still coached by Allegri. But this season, after Allegri was replaced by Motta, it looks like Juventus has the potential to get better results. And I think in the UCL Juventus will be able to go further this time.

The days of Luciano Spalletti were the golden era of Napoli. He built a team of unknown players and made them superstars. Players like Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, and Victor Osimhen got to the peak of their careers under him. Napoli won the 2022/2o23 season with 90 points, sixteen points above the second-placed Lazio. Unfortunately, Spalletti resigned from his job after they became champions. He claimed that he had given all to the club and had no more strength to continue. I thought he was going to take a break and return to football just as the legendary Zinedine Zidane. But I was wrong he had already gotten the green light to coach the Italian National team.

His reign in the nation team has not been glorious. Italy was knocked out of the Euro Championship by a low-ratted Switzerland when they lost by two goals to nothing. But the Gli Azzurri are not doing badly in the European Nations League as they are topping League A Group 2 with six points after wining two games out of two.
