Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[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.

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.

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 

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.

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?

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.

oh no Balotelli, he had now disappeared from all radars
I have never liked this player either as a player or as a person
the fact that he returns has no effect on me, no emotion

for me he was a short-lived meteor, one of those who thinks he's good but is actually poor

[mamesso]

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.

Everything you say is based on what is seen on paper. I admit, Inter is superior in terms of statistics, H2H and team, but the match results can be different from what is predicted outside the field. Roma are in transition with a new coach, they have also not been consistent in maintaining their performance. In this match, Roma will act as the host, they will try to play with full enthusiasm in front of their supporters, at least a draw is enough for them to maintain the mentality of the players in the next match.

Roma's extraordinary results against strong teams are currently not visible. A draw against Juventus and a 3-0 win over Udinese are the beginning to build Roma players' confidence at upcoming match. Yes, they only lost once at home to Empoli. Although Roma is not bad with its coach. But facing Inter at this time, Roma's condition may not be good enough even though they are playing at home. I just hope the match will be exciting with lots of opportunities. Inter will probably dominate the match more even though we don't know the final result.

I am happy that you said Roma is in a transition state with a new coach and they have not being consistence with the matches. Those are what will make them not to be a perfect match for Inter who are the defending champions and on fire currently. If Roma draw Inter, it will be by luck and a narrow escape from defeat because I don't see how possible that will be with their current condition. Inter is a strong team and is the favorite in this match.

The change of coach had a positive effect on the team in the first matches, but now it seems that the old problems have not left the team and they cannot win, so their position in Serie A is not the best, they are in the middle of the standing. But between Roma and third place there is only three points, so the situation for Roma can change for the better if they start winning. But the next match is with Inter, then with Fiorentina, I doubt that they will be able to win at least one of these matches.

I have yet to see if the new coach can solve the problems the team is facing. The defeat to a mediocre team in the UEL was beyond my expectation. Although it was a goal from the penalty box, I think a win is still a win. In the last match in Serie A, Roma only got a draw against Monza. I think that result is still not enough to make Roma a tough opponent for Inter Milan. I think Inter Milan will dominate the match. Inter will win that match, but I think Roma can give a surprise with a draw. Their performance is not that bad but it seems not enough to get a win.

[Velvet78]

While Roma are in this condition I don't know what they will do against Inter after the national break.    It is a home game for them though but it still doesn't change this obvious fact.

Their only consolation could be that Inter didn't make the exact same start they did to the previous season. If I'm not wrong about it of course. But their game is still way ahead of Roma clearly. I don't even know what Roma is after by replacing their manager after such a short time. Then why did you send Mourinho in the first place?  Anyways... If I bet on it probably I would go for BTTS or maybe Inter win but we don't have the odds yet.

Inter Milan is the best team in the Serie A now and any team that is facing them will have some sense of doubt whether they can win against them or not. Despite the great performance from the Roman team, they will still not be too confident that they can win the match against Inter Milan. Every victory achieved in a match is as a result of hard work and determination by the team players, if Roma can pull up that great performance in this game, I think they can prevail. Nothing good comes that easy, so if they want to win and improve their position on the table, they need to win this match at all cost.

Koopmainers got an Injury this weeks.
He has now a broken rib.

He will probably skip few games next, not sure if he will avaiable for the coming games in Champions League and for the game against Inter.

It will be a big loss if they will lose him this month.

The results from the beginning of the League, As Roma mostly achieved a draw rather than a win, clearly this is not very consistent but it is true what you said that As Roma's victory over Udinese and Venezia could be their capital to increase their confidence for the next match, AS Roma will be tested for its toughness in facing Inter Milan at the Stadion Olimpiade in the coming week, of course it is not easy for As Roma to win at all costs for them.
