Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[karabiber]

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 actually played quite well in that match. It's just that they are not very good at taking advantage of the opportunities they have. And on the one hand, AS Roma were also careless and they conceded a goal which made the match end in a draw. But so far AS Roma can be said to be better after De Rossi was replaced by Juric. Because AS Roma won two straight wins after Juric took over as coach from De Rossi. And in the last match AS Roma was not lucky enough because they had to get a draw. And maybe in the next match a more difficult challenge awaits AS Roma. because in the next match AS Roma has to face Inter Milan. Inter Milan is a very solid team since last season. So I think it would be very natural if everyone started doubting Roma in that match. Because there will be more people who favor Inter Milan. In the European league, AS Roma have only collected 1 point from the two matches they have faced. And it is clear that this is a very difficult situation for AS Roma. Because in the next matches AS Roma can no longer lose points if they want to continue to advance to the next stage in the Europa League.

Certainly Roma played good football against Monza and they had a lot of shots on goal. Dovbyk is doing amazing things for Roma and his goal against Monza was fantastic. Mentally he is definitely a strong player and he doesn't give up. But one of Roma's biggest problems is that the players can't send enough passes to a player as talented as Dovbyk. The situation in Roma ahead of the Inter game seems to be complicated. Maybe it's too early to say, but measures need to be taken before Roma get out of control. Because a bad result against Inter will accelerate Roma's downward spiral.

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.

Even though Roma is playing at home, their performance has not been completely consistent, especially since the team they will face is a fairly tough team in Serie A, Inter Milan is not an easy opponent for Roma, so I think Roma will lose when they face them later or it could be a draw, but I don't think Roma can hold Inter to a draw.

I think Roma will find it difficult to beat Inter Milan in the next match even though Roma is unbeaten in their last few matches. Apart from AC Milan, Inter Milan is the strongest team in Serie A this season and Roma has not fully returned to their best form, which is certain they will continue to defend in order to win this match at home.
Inter Milan with an on fire position tries to take full points when playing at the opponent's home at least Inter Milan can draw.

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.

After 5 years of being acquired by Indonesian owners, I see Como is on the right track. And the Hartono brothers are not calculating spending with Como. In the transfer market this summer, the team has been generous in bringing in famous players. Although only a rookie in Serie A, Como is playing quite well in the early stages of the 2024-2025 season.
But this team has the additional weakness of being vulnerable away from home, and I feel like Como doesn't have enough strength to compete in Serie A. However, with Como's confidence, they are ready to face any team. Hopefully, this big tournament will hone them and give them the experience to become more competitive teams, I think they need more quality signings that will make them improve further.

Yeah, this is true.
They also got Alberto Moreno from Villareal but that won't be enough. They need a DM to win the balls and allow Sergi Roberto and Nico Paz to control the midfield more.
The key to defending well is not just having good defenders. While having good defenders is paramount, a good system and setup are also crucial, without that, a team's defence will always suffer. The way the team drops back and defends when they're too with the ball, the way they press quickly to make sure they win back the ball, and the way they close up every possible space when their opponents are with the ball all matter in defending.

Defending in football these days is not left for just the 4 defenders and DM alone. These days everybody joins in, just as everybody joins in on the attack. So even with the right defenders, they still have to get their system right.

The match between Roma and Inter Milan will indeed be an interesting match, Roma will face a difficult match even though they will play at home later, so far we cannot say that Roma are in good condition after the change of coach and I see that their game is still not very stable at the moment as we saw against Elfsborg and also monza, when Roma is in the current condition, I don't see if playing at home will actually benefit Roma, especialy if we remember Inter Milan performance which is currently in a positive trend after a winning streak and has a solid defense so far in the league, besides that Inter Milan has a very good record against Roma so far and their will maintain that good record in the match.

Of course Inter Milan is very favored when playing against Roma because both teams are in different conditions, Inter Milan who are in their best form and even they have been quite strong since last season while Roma with all the problems they are currently experiencing and even with their new coach of course will find it very difficult to beat a strong team like Inter Milan.

Roma with their new coach Ivan Jurić does seem to have improved compared to the beginning of the season when they were still handled by De Rossi but Roma currently has not proven anything because Ivan Jurić has only led the team in a few matches so they still need a lot of proof including one of which is against Inter Milan in the next match Roma.

[bering]

Roma under Ivan Jurić indeed much better although they were lost from Elfsborg in Europa league but compared to under De Rossi the current Roma is slightly impressive but Inter Milan also has return to their shape again because they can gets 3 winning streak in all competitions so this match will be so tight but the most problem is Roma has poor records from Inter Milan because in the last 3 meeting Roma always be lost even at their home ground Roma have to lost twice from Inter Milan last season

Roma current odds is @4.00 and Inter Milan has odds @1.90 and because this match will be start in 10 days so there is a possibility that the odds of the 2 teams will change but for this match i will used the reference from head to head statistics which showed Inter Milan has good records than Roma just like i said above so i think the winner of this match is Inter Milan

Roma's biggest problem is in attack, they have a very weak attack. If the coach focuses on signing good attackers in the next transfer window, I think Roma will be able to finish in a good position this season. Because currently they have not lost in the last 5 games, but they have had many draws and in 7 games they have only scored 8 goals. It is difficult for a team that cannot score many goals regularly to become champions. So I can safely say that Roma's management is not bringing in coaches with the objective of being champions, they are settling for reaching positions that allow them to reach the European Champions League. Unlike Napoli, where the management does not care about other positions, they only want to win Serie A and this is a good thing because it makes them create a team with a great motivation to win. Roma has no motivation to win things.

Who will be the champion this time?

[Gallar]

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.

Currently Balotteli is without a club, this is not because there is no team that wants him, but from several media reports that I have read, Balotteli reportedly wants to return to a career in Serie A. So that is why Baloteli is still unemployed to this day. So, currently Balotteli's opportunity to return to playing in Serie A is quite big, after Genoa is interested in recruiting him. Maybe if it's true, I'm sure Balotteli won't think long about joining Genoa straight away. The reason is that even though Genoa is currently performing badly, at least there is still plenty of time for Genoa to recover, especially if Balotteli has officially joined. Because Balotteli certainly still has very good performance, even though he is quite old now. Apart from that, it is reported that Genoa is not the only one who currently wants to bring in Balotteli. But Torino, who is currently in 7th place in Serie A, wants Balotteli too. So with this, maybe Balotteli will think a little about which team to choose. Maybe if Balotteli joins Torino, he will have hopes of competing at the top of Serie A. But if for example Balotteli chooses Genoa, perhaps his main task is to bring Genoa out of the relegation zone. Because as we know, currently Genoa is in the relegation zone. So if you look at these things, maybe joining Torino would be better for Balotteli than joining Genoa. But even so, choosing Genoa is not a bad thing, because Balotteli can definitely bring Genoa out of the relegation zone.

Roma under Ivan Jurić indeed much better although they were lost from Elfsborg in Europa league but compared to under De Rossi the current Roma is slightly impressive but Inter Milan also has return to their shape again because they can gets 3 winning streak in all competitions so this match will be so tight but the most problem is Roma has poor records from Inter Milan because in the last 3 meeting Roma always be lost even at their home ground Roma have to lost twice from Inter Milan last season

Roma current odds is @4.00 and Inter Milan has odds @1.90 and because this match will be start in 10 days so there is a possibility that the odds of the 2 teams will change but for this match i will used the reference from head to head statistics which showed Inter Milan has good records than Roma just like i said above so i think the winner of this match is Inter Milan

The very striking difference between Inter Milan and Roma, although Roma with its new coach is now slightly better, but when compared to Inter Milan, I think of course Inter Milan is much better, so Roma's chances of winning against Inter Milan are very small.

Maybe because Roma is playing at home, the bookies are not so fond of Inter Milan by giving Odds @ 1.90, but I think it's worth betting on with all the risks involved, but odds like that are worth it.

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.

Balotelli is not too old but his career is falling down since last two seasons, because the latest good season is 2021 - 2022 season with 19 goals. [1]

In last two seasons, he scored very limited goals, with 6 and 7 goals for 2022 - 2023 and 2023 - 2024 seasons.

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.

Genoa are in troubles and their coach used to be a good striker Gilardino who actually understands great skills of Balotelli. Maybe he hope that Balotelli can score some important goals for Genoa and rescue the team in Serie A. Balotelli if play seriously, can make good contributions but through his career, we barely saw that attitude from this player. Genoa wants to bet on Balotelli but I see they will have very low chance to succeed.

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 

I have no reason to call Roma's draw against Monza a good result. Come,on man! Monza is a clown club, is now placed in the relegation zone.

It's very unacceptable for Roma got draw. They spent nearly 100m, like the other club. They should not have dropped two points to a relegation zone team. It's very disappointed they were drawing against a relegation club.

And i have no clues how they’re going to even approach the Inter game soon. It is most probable they will be fully destroyed by Inter.

[Salahmu]

The match between Roma and Inter Milan will indeed be an interesting match, Roma will face a difficult match even though they will play at home later, so far we cannot say that Roma are in good condition after the change of coach

From this statistics the only reason why Roma was privileged enough to win Inter Milan 10 times was because those were the days when they were still shining and there players plus there experience coach was still there but however if it was now there is no how they would have manage to win Inter Milan 10 times and draw 11 games, so actually because of how things how been for them I no longer compare there statistics with Inter Milan because they cannot be able to continue maintaining such records they have with Inter Milan in the past when there wining difference is always 3/5.

I believe that there mistake was changing there coach because it would have been better if there previous coach continues managing the players the way he was doing and getting some good results than what we are seeing from the current one because Roma condition now has become a state were there problem is coming from different places.

I honestly can't understand why they want to sign a player who is 34 years old and who is not playing for a big club and who is always involved in some controversy. When a coach puts a player in the squad who is always involved in controversy, then that coach will be blamed for destroying the team because without a doubt the player who is constantly involved in controversy will make the other players start to behave badly.

10 of Mario Balotelli's Most Controversial Moments

The Inter Red Card



" I could write a book of 200 pages of my two years at Inter with Mario, but the book would not be a drama – it would be a comedy,” Mourinho once said.

“I remember one time when we went to play Kazan in the Champions League. In that match I had all my strikers injured. No Diego Milito, no Samuel Eto’o, I was really in trouble and Mario was the only one.“

“Mario got a yellow card in the 42nd minute, so when I got to the dressing room at half-time I spend about 14 minutes of the 15 available speaking only to Mario.

“I said to him: ‘Mario, I cannot change you, I have no strikers on the bench, so don’t touch anybody and play only with the ball. If we lose the ball no reaction. If someone provokes you, no reaction, if the referee makes a mistake, no reaction.’

“The 46th minute – red card!”

The only thing I see happening is that the Italian news channels will have more news because he will get involved in more controversies. And Genoa will be relegated and will have to deal with Balotelli's controversies. There are many good new players that Genoa could sign.

[Docnaster]

The match between Roma and Inter Milan will indeed be an interesting match, Roma will face a difficult match even though they will play at home later, so far we cannot say that Roma are in good condition after the change of coach and I see that their game is still not very stable at the moment as we saw against Elfsborg and also monza, when Roma is in the current condition, I don't see if playing at home will actually benefit Roma, especialy if we remember Inter Milan performance which is currently in a positive trend after a winning streak and has a solid defense so far in the league, besides that Inter Milan has a very good record against Roma so far and their will maintain that good record in the match.

This game would've been easier to predict if Inter Milan were as impressive as they were last season in the Italian Serie A where they were tearing their opponents apart. Roma started the season on a very poor form but since the club management sacked Daniele De Rossi and replaced him immediately, there's been some sort of confidence that's grown in the team as well as an improvement in the team's mentality.
Hosting the defending champions at the Stadio Olympico will not be an easy game for Roma but I think they stand a good chance of getting a draw. If I'm to stake on that game, I'll go with the goals option of 2+ goals in the game

[MarjorieZimmermanGinger]

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.

Conte is at Napoli so it is impossible for him to return to Juventus and that would be impossible. Juventus still looks consistent in Serie-A and they are unbeaten so far and if they can maintain that consistency then this season they have a chance to compete for the Scudetto title. Currently Napoli and Inter Milan are leading the standings and Juventus are in third place with a one-point gap from Inter Milan who are in second place.

Slowly they can show changes and that will give them a chance to win the title this season. Lazio are their challengers for the following week and it might be a slightly tougher game for Juventus as they are also in good form at the moment.

It's a big match and Roma have worse form than Inter Milan since the season beginning. With either De Rossi or Juric as their head coach, Roma can not play well in this season and their attacking power decreases than the last season. In defense, they lacked of good concentration and let opponents to score goals to steal points from Roma.

Inter Milan is a big club in Italy and they had better head to head record than Roma. The screenshot is for latest matches but in long history, Roma have worse record too. With all these factors, Roma will have big risk of losing points to Inter Milan and a draw will be a success for them.

If Roma lose this match, they will continue to fall down on the Serie A ranking table, and will Juric be sacked?

[Obari]

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.

Big transfers pull out and some are restrained based on the contracts conditions. I enjoyed every bit of experience players pulling shocking moves and another one is played on deck. News splashed, Alberto Gilardino will push in to making signing of one of the oldest experienced player, I think it's welcomed development for the club. Mario Balotelli keen on making a return to Seria A and what are your expectations for the player? He can make a rebound because he's not an aging player, 34 years old and very agile as of his early 20s. Genoa can actually pull this deal for Balotelli.

Italy is a tough run and players barely make it to their full potentials. Genoa have been struggling this season and they're not just up to the require standards, they are found in the relegation zone, why go for Mario Balotelli, does it mean they have other plans of a securing a promising future? Genoa needs more enchanced players other than just a player who's been out of the limelight for longterm.
