Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Jatiluhung]

Let's look at the bottom of the Serie A standings until week 7. Venezia, Monza and Genoa are the clubs currently at the bottom with only 4 and 5 points, Genoa actually has the same points as Lecce who is above them, but Lecce is superior in goal productivity. Monza is the only club that has never won until week 7, they only got 4 draws and 3 defeats. Genoa is the club that has conceded the most goals with 15 goals that have been scored against them. While Venezia is a club that has just felt the atmosphere of Serie A this season (correct me if I'm wrong). It seems like they are not ready to compete fiercely. However, there are still many opportunities to improve it, so that they can slowly enter the safe zone.

The surprising thing about the current standings is that only Venezia, as a team that has just been promoted back to Serie A, is still in the relegation zone. Meanwhile, Como and Parma, which are also teams that have just been promoted to Serie A, are currently able to avoid the relegation zone. Which indicates that these two teams are much better prepared for the competition in Serie A. Meanwhile, Venezia doesn't seem like they are ready for the tough competition in Serie A. But playing in Serie A will be a valuable experience for them.

This is a transfer we never thought of seeing some day, after a long time outside, Balotelli is currently on the verge of joining a Serie A club which is another competitive league again but this comes with a lot of burden knowing fully that the club interested in him are currently performing poorly and enough will be on him as the last hope for the failing team. Genoa who are 18th on the league table, having 1 win for all 7 matches played and 4 losses, this shows that the team is looking for a player who can best save them from this mess, alone not considering his age, the club continues to be interested. I hope this comes to a conclusion and the results are met following the signing of this player.

In the prime days of Balotelli, i would say this is going to be a very beneficial and productive one for Genoa but now i don't know how well he's been doing and hopefully he turns out well for them so they get the best off this move they are about to make. Balotelli is an experienced player who long before now has been doing excellently well and now joining a team as this, its expected of him to get this team to their best as they are currently suffering some sort of decline but i don't see it as very okay for the team to make this move with the intention of dependency as he may not give they as expected considering his age.

It is true that Juventus cannot be said to be stable because they still end many match with draw, but it should be noted that all the draws that have been obtained also give them points to maintain the difference with several team above them, this is much better than several defeats. [...]

A draw is better than a loss, but Juventus is still Juventus, they are a strong team in Serie A who should not get a draw against teams like Cagliari & Empoli. If they don't change what they should have, we won't see them in the top standings anymore, their next match will also be a decider because both teams have the same points in the standings.

This Juventus is much better than what we saw in last season I can see they are improving with their new coach Motta, However, I was hoping to see Juventus hiring Conte for their team, and maybe by Conte returning to Juventus they could have a better situation with this coach because he is familiar with the atmosphere in Juventus and this can be helpful for them.
Now they got a draw against Cagliari which is still not too bad because they are still in third place in the league.

Antonio Conte brought great success to Juventus from 2012 to 2014. At that time, Conte made Juventus win the title in Serie A for 3 consecutive seasons. And that is a big record that is difficult for other teams to follow to this day. But for now I feel Thiago Motta should also be able to bring Juventus to better results. although recently Juventus seems to have returned to the same problem as last season. Where they get more draws again. Even though at the start of the season this team looked like a team that was ready to win every match. Last season, Juventus was also one of the teams that achieved the most draws. And I would be surprised if this season with a different coach we see Juventus again achieve many draws. I think there is something wrong there. Because if Juventus returns to its best performance, I think this team can even win the title again. Thiago Motta may not have much experience and is different from Conte, but this young coach is very reliable.

Very big fail for the juventus, nobody expect. (i already, i have lost the bet)

Other game start now , i bet napoli-torino and palermo (napoli score a gol later only 1 minutes).

Juventus Last game against Cagliari was disappointing to me for them to have draw in the game and also lost one of their players to a red card. I begin to wonder if the club was really ready to make big moves this season with the current inconsistency the club is suffering from. Their game also against Leipzig was another red card on them even though they won the match with a goal difference in the Champions league game.

Having a great goalkeeper will definitely help Fiorentina without a doubt, but to what extend? I mean we all know they are not going to be winners of the league, we know they won't even be in top four, so what they could get when they could have a result like this? They may have a player which is way above their league but they are not getting any benefit from this at all, we are seeing things change a bit and can't move this to any direction at all. We need to make sure things are looking as good as we can get.

In the end, we are going to see what we are seeing not make a big change, so this is why we believe Fiorentina will not have a great season, because one player can't change much about a team all together.

Monza's performance so far this season has surprised me a lot. With the way they finished last season, I thought they would continue like that this season, but unfortunately, they have not been able to win any game in their first seven matches. All doesn't look lost though because they look like a team that will find their rhythm later on and manage to avoid relegation.

Como is another team I'm rooting for because of Fabregas. They play good football and they know how to score goals, but their problem is, they concede too much. There has not been any game where they did not concede at least a goal. If a team is going to concede that much, then they should be ready to outscore their opponents. Como obviously cant outscore every opponent, so they need to learn how to be better defensively and not concede goals anyhow. If they don't work on that they might see themselves in difficult position later on.

In the end, we are going to see what we are seeing not make a big change, so this is why we believe Fiorentina will not have a great season, because one player can't change much about a team all together.

Currently, Fiorentina may have a very great and very experienced goalkeeper, namely De Gea. But that won't make Fiorentina a harder team to beat. because basically one player can't change everything. But it takes everyone on the team to make a club thrive and become stronger. I think the role of the coach is much more needed to maximize the potential that exists in every player a club has. We saw that Bologna managed to get a ticket to the UCL last season thanks to their talented coach, Motta. Even last season, Bologna's squad depth was not as good as Napoli and Roma. But Bologna managed to be better than Roma and Napoli last season thanks to their coach. And I think Fiorentina could actually be better than Bologna if this team could maximize the great potential that exists in every player they have.

It was a disappointing result on the part of Roma. This was definitely not the result they had wanted because they played very well and dominated the game. Roma deserved to win the game but Monza were able to get a goal back quickly after falling behind to equalize few minutes after. Roma should have defended their one goal lead and priorities getting all three points from the game.

Roma have 2 wins in the whole season (and one of them was over Venice). It is clear that Monza is an outsider and Roma should have taken 3 points (since if you don't take them here, then where to take them at all) but still it was an away game and a draw is not the worst result.
By the way, in the next round Roma plays with Inter, a draw would be a good result here 

[Pulsar77]

There is no excuse for Roma while playing this poorly. They gambled by sacking De Rossi in such a short time and now look what's happened...

You just can't reach success by replacing your coach very often. That's a fact. Maybe one can say "Then how is Napoli doing this good recently?".

It still took them a very long time to find the right coach while changing them that often. Besides the one they have signed at the end is Conte.

Oh wow it’s been a very long time I heard about the great Mario Ballotelli famously known for his printed shirt celebration “why always me”. Manchester City supporters can relate to this. It will be really nice to watch him compete at top level again. I want to see if he still got that physicality, balance and technique go score many goals. His addition will definitely give Genoa a boost and entertainment to those supporting the Seria A league. I hope his attitude has improved and he is more calm now.

AC Milan wants to extend the contract of Theo Hernández with this team. The current contract of this French player will end in 2026 and AC Milan is considering the situation on this team to keep Theo Hernández for a longer time but it seems they will have some problems and Theo Hernández won't stay there for a long time. Because Hernández wanted to get more money in his new contract but AC Milan is not going to accept and they said they won't pay Hernández more than what he gets right now.
He couldn't have a good enough performance to increase the salary and on the other hand, he had bad behavior even with their coach Fonseca which made AC Milan to say they wouldn't give Hernández more salary.

Having a great goalkeeper will definitely help Fiorentina without a doubt, but to what extend? I mean we all know they are not going to be winners of the league, we know they won't even be in top four, so what they could get when they could have a result like this?

Indeed, if you look at Fiorentina's performance so far this season, they are actually not that good. Indeed, for their defense, they look quite good, especially with the save from de Gea that happened yesterday, it was quite phenomenal to be the talk of many parties.

But you are right, that alone is not enough. Moreover, Fiorentina's front line is not that strong. Many times they failed to finish to score goals. They also often get draw results. They need more than that, especially a much sharper and more effective attack to score goals. and this is also what must be greatly improved.

[Pokapoka124]

Despite the fact that De Gea had a long break from football and did not play many matches for Fiorentina, he undoubtedly became a very important player for the team. Maybe someone will say that saving two penalties in one match is an accident, but I am inclined to think that this is high skill.

As for the fact that Manchester United did not extend his contract, this is the club's mistake, and by the way, Ronaldo's departure is also a sign that not everything is in order there. I think that Fiorentina is not a team with which De Gea will be able to achieve any great results, but here he will be able to prove himself well so that they will pay attention to him again.

Even before leaving Manchester United, De Gea had always been brilliant between the sticks for Manchester United even when Manchester United were experiencing their worst form, conceding many goals and losing games, the number of saves De Gea made per game was mind blowing. I am not surprised at the news because I knew it will only take time for his worth to be seen elsewhere, I think it is happening now.

Let's look at the bottom of the Serie A standings until week 7. Venezia, Monza and Genoa are the clubs currently at the bottom with only 4 and 5 points, Genoa actually has the same points as Lecce who is above them, but Lecce is superior in goal productivity. Monza is the only club that has never won until week 7, they only got 4 draws and 3 defeats. Genoa is the club that has conceded the most goals with 15 goals that have been scored against them. While Venezia is a club that has just felt the atmosphere of Serie A this season (correct me if I'm wrong). It seems like they are not ready to compete fiercely. However, there are still many opportunities to improve it, so that they can slowly enter the safe zone.

The surprising thing about the current standings is that only Venezia, as a team that has just been promoted back to Serie A, is still in the relegation zone.

Which indicates that these two teams are much better prepared for the competition in Serie A. Meanwhile, Venezia doesn't seem like they are ready for the tough competition in Serie A. But playing in Serie A will be a valuable experience for them.

I am particularly surprised by the performance of Como, a team just promoted from the Italian Seri2 B to the Serie A this season. They are playing like a team that have been in the top league for ages and have even won some major teams against the popular opinion. Their last match against Napoli was a very tough match, filled with so much actions and entertainment. Napoli actually won but they did that with so much stress and Lukaku was instrumental to their victory. Como is sure to escape returning to the second division if they continue the way they are going.

By the way, in the next round Roma plays with Inter, a draw would be a good result here 

Yes it could be, but Roma will play at home, I think they won't give it away Inter mess up their defense. Roma will fierce struggle to present the winning for fans. I don't think so Inter can make draw easily or winning on Olympico because in the last five matches Roma is never have lost, they just lost on europa eufa league when play away to Elfsborg. But it's not a big problem, because they always get up quickly, and when meet Monza, they was recovery and hold them on monza home. But, on the other hand inter is on fire, on the last 3 matches they already created 13 goals which I think if Roma defender careless to guard Thuram and friends, Roma will lean to lose.

I am not surprised at the news because I knew it will only take time for his worth to be seen elsewhere, I think it is happening now.

It should be so with his ability since he was brought in from Atl.Madrid he is quite impressive and now playing in the Italian club De Gea seems to have played there for quite a long time even though he just came and made many surprises or saves for Fiorentina it is not easy in my opinion because he had not played for several seasons and now back playing he did not disappoint he was always a wall when needed and I think the appreciation for him must be very big for the extraordinary impact he gave to his new club. When against AC Milan De Gea made 7 saves from 8 shots and this is quite impressive, after what happened to him without a club some time ago he was not looking for fun but he seemed to really hone his skills and become this brilliant and I think what Ten Hag did to him is regret and I think De Gea will be the best goalkeeper in Serie A this season.

Very big fail for the juventus, nobody expect. (i already, i have lost the bet)

Other game start now , i bet napoli-torino and palermo (napoli score a gol later only 1 minutes).

Juventus Last game against Cagliari was disappointing to me for them to have draw in the game and also lost one of their players to a red card. I begin to wonder if the club was really ready to make big moves this season with the current inconsistency the club is suffering from. Their game also against Leipzig was another red card on them even though they won the match with a goal difference in the Champions league game.

This week there were many surprises and some clubs that were expected to win actually got unexpected results but in my opinion that does not mean that we experience deep disappointment indeed that is already a risk for us, Juventus has indeed shown less than good results lately should if we want to bet on their victory we should reconsider it unless they have shown signs of improvement we can be sure to bet on them. Juventus lost 2 of their players and in the next few matches it is likely that their performance will not fully improve because they are playing without these players.

Como is another team I'm rooting for because of Fabregas. They play good football and they know how to score goals, but their problem is, they concede too much. There has not been any game where they did not concede at least a goal. If a team is going to concede that much, then they should be ready to outscore their opponents. Como obviously cant outscore every opponent, so they need to learn how to be better defensively and not concede goals anyhow. If they don't work on that they might see themselves in difficult position later on.

Do not forget they signed Rapheal Varane on a free transfer after he left Manchester United but being Injury prone has affected him from playing further football. Since resigning, Como as a club are yet to replace him and have not raise such talks of getting another defender right now when the transfer window resumes.
In between, I'm still rooting for Cese Fabregas, I saw the game they played against Juventus, and against Napoli during the first half of the game and I can say that they'll be one of the clubs that'll definitely escape relegation. They have good fighting spirit and at the same time togetherness, a concrete DM and CB is all that's needed.

But, on the other hand inter is on fire, on the last 3 matches they already created 13 goals which I think if Roma defender careless to guard Thuram and friends, Roma will lean to lose.

For a draw, it can always happen in that match because we don't know what mistakes will happen in that match. But on paper Inter should be able to win even though they are playing away against Roma. In terms of player quality, I am sure Inter is superior to be able to beat Roma even though later Roma defenders will focus on blocking Thuram from scoring but Inter also has Martinez who can be relied on as a finisher. Well, it all depends on the strategy used by both teams and if Inter will bring in Thuram in the second half, I am sure Roma will lose the match.
