Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[giorgione]

[...] Juventus has a higher chance of winning the match even though Lazio is actually not performing too badly. Considering that Juventus is playing at home, the probability of Juventus winning is more likely to be true, but Lazio is also quite good so far. [...]

Both teams have quite high goal productivity, Juventus has 10 goals while Lazio has 14 goals, although Lazio looks more productive, they actually have a lot of goals conceded too. From there we can be sure that Lazio will concede in this match & make Juventus' chances of winning even greater. Moreover, as you said they will also be playing a home match.

Don't just focus on the productivity of Juventus and Lazio. You must also compare their goals conceded. Juventus is much more stable in terms of defensive line, and this is the key to beating their opponent, Lazio. Even if they parked the bus against Lazio, it would frustrate their opponent.

A home game is boosting Juventus's mentality. In my prediction, i believe they will beat Lazio with a narrow score of 1-0. I don't even see them having a chance to lose points in this game, and Lazio looks an easy opponent to beat.

I, on the other hand, think that they won't score goals but with the team in such good shape I think that they will also score a lot of goals, given that the players are motivated and Dusan wants to show that he is up to the task of the situation so I think that there will be a lot of goals

But speaking of the opening 3 matches this week, I want your opinion and that of everyone here, namely for the matches
- Genoa vs Bologna
- Como vs Parma
- Milan vs Udinese

I would probably favorite Bologna and Como. But I'm a little doubtful about Milan vs Udinese. Has Milan really bounced back now and will they be able to beat Udinese or not? What do you think?

Genoa only has the advantage of playing at home, the rest is not interesting to bet on, on the other hand Bologna has a slight advantage because they only lost once, but won 1, the remaining 5 matches were drawn, both are equal, have the same chance.

Como was a little surprising to beat Atalanta but their revival was delayed by being defeated by Napoli in the last match and they are new kids in Serie A. On the other hand, Farma has experience, in the standings their position is not much different.

Lastly Milan vs Udinese Milan is not doing well but they could end the match with a draw even though Udinese is in a good trend, Fonseca's squad still has a good squad.

I assume these 3 matches are difficult to predict for bettors, avoiding them will keep our money in our pockets.

[Lida93]

The two most interesting matches to look forward to in Week 8 of Serie A:

• Juventus vs Lazio
• Roma vs Inter

Juventus has a higher chance of winning the match even though Lazio is actually not performing too badly. Considering that Juventus is playing at home, the probability of Juventus winning is more likely to be true, but Lazio is also quite good so far.

It is true Juventus has the home advantage but it is left for them either utilise it or allow Lazio creat an ugly scene at the Alianz arena. I think it very important for Juventus to understand the kind of opponents they are up against because if they are only banking on the home advantage they have then they might experience some difficulties playing against Lazio. Lazio are capable of snatching all 3 points, and Juventus have got to be prepared to stop them and one the ways to do that is to take the lead as early as possible and then Juventus must ensure that they double their lead by 2 goals margin because Lazio are an attacking side that can score multiple goal at any given opportunity.

Genoa only has the advantage of playing at home, the rest is not interesting to bet on, on the other hand Bologna has a slight advantage because they only lost once, but won 1, the remaining 5 matches were drawn, both are equal, have the same chance.

I think Bologna will do no wrong in this match. Bologna will play for 3 points. Bologna team's attack is a bit weak. But their overall gameplay is very good. This team has lost only one out of 7 matches. Genoa team on the other hand is very weak. This team managed to score only 4 goals in 7 matches. I am willing to bet on Bologna to win this match.

Como was a little surprising to beat Atalanta but their revival was delayed by being defeated by Napoli in the last match and they are new kids in Serie A. On the other hand, Farma has experience, in the standings their position is not much different.

Both Como and Parma are new and inexperienced in Serie A. But the performance of Como players surprised me in several matches. I would say both teams have equal chances to win this match. I will probably hold myself back from betting on this match. But my guess is that the match will be a 1-1 draw. And perhaps both teams will be happy to share the points in this match.

Lastly Milan vs Udinese Milan is not doing well but they could end the match with a draw even though Udinese is in a good trend, Fonseca's squad still has a good squad.

Milan vs Udinese will undoubtedly be a very competitive match. There is no chance of underestimating the Udinese team. Fifth place in the table is now occupied by Udinese. However, if Milan plays well, Milan has more chances to win against Udinese. Because neither attack nor defense of Udinese is very strong. Udinese players scored 10 goals in 7 matches and conceded 10 goals

It will be an hard game for Juventus this week.
They have basically no midfield at this point.
They will have 3 missing players in midfield and 6 overall.

Odds for Lazio should not be terrible at this point.

Keep also in mind that Lazio is a great shape right now, so in the end I will be not surprised abut a potential loss for Juventus, considering missing players and the current status of Lazio.

[bastisisca]

No one can guarantee that a team or player can maintain a good performance from season to season, so it's natural when they experience a drop in performance. After all, although Inter this season are not as good as last season, the fact is that Inter are currently still in second place in the Serie A standings and of course, I think that's not bad at all, because of course there is still a chance for Inter to return to the top of the table. But indeed, this season it looks like Napoli will be able to get consistent results, because Conte really has the quality and ability to build a team to be impressive.

But the point is, there is nothing to worry about Inter because basically Inter remains a top team that remains in the race for the scudetto this season. As such, I still think Inter are still in a good trend and don't have any major problems that will make their position happen. Because basically, other teams also managed to improve their quality and performance, because Serie A is  not always about Inter.

true you are absolutely right when you say this

nothing and no one can guarantee that the exact same team will perform like the previous year or season
Unfortunately this is happening at Inter but i think its just great tiredness
It's not easy to play at high levels from a physical and stress point of view

[bitcampaign]

These two matches can make big changes on the ranking table because despite of worse performances than expected, Roma have only 3 points less than Juventus, and Lazio have the same points as Juventus but only 1 point less than Inter Milan.

If Lazio beats Inter Milan, they will get a second position from the opponent and if Roma beat Juventus, they will have same total points as the opponent. Lazio and Roma are considered as weaker teams than their opponents but if they can win, Serie A will be more exciting with big changes in positions of top clubs. If these matches end without winners, other clubs can flip top positions of Inter Milan, Juventus and Lazio so I bet that they will not want a draw this weekend.

Juventus and Lazio are very close, so it could be a cautious match, they won't want to lose their positions, maybe Juventus will try to win this match, but I can't understand yet how ambitious Motta is to fight for the Scudetto.

In this match, both of them do not want to lose points, but unlike Juventus who want to win at their home ground, because in the last five matches they have had bad results at least in the match against Lazio is a match that must get full points, even though the opponent that Juventus will face is Lazio who is in fourth place in the Serie A standings where if Lazio manages to steal points then it is likely that Juventus will be shifted from their challenger Lazio, so like it or not in that match is a match of life and still for the Juventus squad.

They will have 3 missing players in midfield and 6 overall.

Keep also in mind that Lazio is a great shape right now, so in the end I will be not surprised abut a potential loss for Juventus, considering missing players and the current status of Lazio.

Juventus this season is really starting to look like they are starting to rise after what has happened to them in the last few seasons, although so far they are still not consistent in winning but they actually have the best defense at the moment in Serie A, facing Lazio will certainly be a test for the defense of the motta squad this season considering so far Lazio has a pretty sharp attacking line,  I think both teams will have a big challenge in winning that  match, because so far they have different advantages (Juventus with a strong defense and Lazio with a sharp attack) to be able to get 3 points in the match, currently Juventus has lost 3 midfielders who have had an important role in their squad,  So Motta should be able to cover up these weaknesses, because Lazio who is currently in good form, will definitely take advantage of the weaknesses of Juventus midfield to exploit later, With a performance that may look very balanced from the two teams, it seems that a narrow victory for one of the teams will be the end of the match, although it does not rule out the opportunity for us to see a draw in the match.

[Nanga Parbat]

So this match must be utilized by Atalanta as best as possible, they must play better and not consider their opponents weak because the lower teams often make surprises when underestimated. Therefore, 3 points are quite important because they will make their position rise to a better ranking if they succeed in defeating Venezia. In another match, Napoli will face Empoli and maybe this match is quite tough because statistically Empoli has managed to dominate the victory 3 times in their 5 meetings with Napoli. So will Napoli succeed in stopping their bad trend when facing Empoli.

This time it will be very different because Napoli has also experienced a change in its appearance for now so Napoli can definitely stop its bad trend when facing Empoli later even though the match takes place at Empoli's home ground. Because Napoli is still quite enthusiastic to maintain its position at the top of the standings at this time because Napoli also still needs more points to be able to stay in first place in the League. As for Atalanta, I think the team will be able to win easily even though they will visit Venezia which is a promotion team this season.

Napoli football team has good side and good mindset and they did not underestimate any team and they will win this match easily by high margin.  When we analyze the performance of Napoli team in last few matches then we reach to that point Napoli team is favorite team for that match and they will win this match easily by 3-1 ratio. But when we see the Head to matches then see that Empoli is not bad team and they can win this match if they make good strategy and execute well in this match.Empoli team is playing not well because they lose 1 match out of five and they won two matches and two draw .

[giammangiato]

Juventus vs Lazio match has a high probability of a draw. I wouldn't be surprised even if Lazio win this match. Even though the match is Juventus' home match, I can't consider Juventus as the favorite. Because I don't see a better performance than Juventus so far this season. Even in the last few matches, we have seen the deterioration of Juventus' performance. Out of the last 5 matches, Juventus have drawn 4 matches and the team has managed to win one match.

The Juventus team has hardly improved compared to the previous season. In the previous season too, we saw that Juventus' attack was very weak and their defense was very strong. We are seeing the same thing this season. Juventus conceded just one goal in 7 matches.

If Lazio can somehow score the first goal of this match then I would say this team will not lose the match by any means. This match is likely to be a draw. Because the overall performance of the Lazio team is quite strong. Lazio managed to win 4 out of 7 matches.

At this moment, even if i am a fan who loves his team, i can only agree with you

Juventus are failing in attack and furthermore, as if that wasn't enough, Lazio is a complex team to face.

Furthermore, the team is unable to carry the ball forward, but in defense we are strong.. i think draw is the right bet

I agree with you. If we look at the current statistics Juventus is the team with the most solid defense in Serie A. They only conceded 1 goal and that shows how strong their defense is. Juventus are undefeated in their seven matches so I think it is almost impossible for them to lose points. I also think this game will end with a narrow win for Juventus. On the other hand Lazio has problems in defense and they have conceded 11 goals in seven matches. I predict Juventus will win this match with a score of 1-0 or 2-0.

In a team game, of course we have to see them as a whole, from the defense side to the attack line, this can be one of the materials for us to make an analysis and predict how the match will go and who will be able to win. So far Juventus is the most solid club in the defense line, they are very difficult for opponents to penetrate. However, their problem is actually in the attack line which is not very effective when building an attack. It is proven that they recorded a clean sheet, but they could not score goals and that is what made them have to feel 4 draws. However, Lazio is also not that good in attack, but their defense is also not better than Juventus.

[hahay]

It will be an hard game for Juventus this week.
They have basically no midfield at this point.
They will have 3 missing players in midfield and 6 overall.

Odds for Lazio should not be terrible at this point.

Keep also in mind that Lazio is a great shape right now, so in the end I will be not surprised abut a potential loss for Juventus, considering missing players and the current status of Lazio.

Although Juventus do not have a good midfield because of several player injuries, but it looks like Juventus still have a decent defense. Because at the same time, the truth is that Lazio also has a defense that doesn't seem so good because after all, from the seven matches that have been played so far Lazio has a total of 14 goals and has conceded 11. As for Juventus,  so far Juventus has had a total of 10 goals and only 1 conceded and thus, although Juventus is doubtful but it looks like a draw could happen in this match.

Because besides that, it looks like the factor of playing at home may also still have a good impact on Juventus. But indeed, in any case this match will still be interesting because after all, currently Juventus and Lazio both have 13 points in the Serie A standings, thus of course they will try to keep playing well to not lose points in this match.

Yes, we have to admit the fact that so far what Juventus' defense has shown in Serie A is very solid, but it's a different story when playing in the UCL, they have conceded 3 goals in 2 matches, there is a gap there and Lazio must be observant to see what needs to be done to break down Motta's defense and remind them of the other fact that Lazio so far has a better attack line, which has managed to score 14 goals in 7 Serie A matches.
This match will be difficult for both teams who both have 14 points in the standings.
In my opinion, both teams have the potential to score goals, although in the end Juventus has a better chance of getting full points by working harder.

The matches that juventus draw weren't that small teams that they played against, they draw against Roma and Napoli, can Lazio win this teams. The game can end in a draw and it wouldn't be bad for juventus as they'll still be top of Lazio. The results will only be bad for juventus for their title challenge for this season as other teams are gathering points but they're throwing away points by drawing games. I still don't think juventus loses this game although they have been very inconsistent this season and you can't bet on them that they're going to win Lazio. Lazio are playing so well this season too, Out of 7 games, they have won 4, draw 1 and lost 2.

I would say if we were to compare the overall performance of Juventus and Lazio this season right now then Lazio should come out on top. Lazio won 4 out of 7 matches, Juventus won 3 matches. Juventus' defense is strong and they have managed to occupy the third place in the table. And the team has not lost a single match yet. But I am not satisfied with the gameplay of Juventus.

Had Logio's defense been a bit stronger, this team might have been fighting for the top spot in the table. But Lazio's defense is quite weak. Lazio conceded 11 goals in 7 matches. The defenders must play well if they want to win against Juventus. If the defenders perform poorly, Lazio are also likely to lose. Because, it will be very difficult for Lazio players to break the defense of Juventus. Both Lazio and Juventus will probably try to make the match a goalless draw.

Even though you are still sure that there will be no draw in the match, but you are very sure that there will be a surprise with a draw.
Everyone admits that Lazio attacking pattern looks sharper than Juventus. The problem is, is Lazio really able to destroy Juventus defense?
Now let's see how the previous results were when Lazio hosted Milan and ended in a draw.
While Juventus does not have enough reliable attackers. So I will be more confident if a draw has a greater chance in this match.

This match looks more likely to be a draw. But an interesting thing is that in the last 5 matches between these two teams, not a single match has been drawn. Lazio have won three of the last five head-to-head matches and Juventus have won two. But in the last 5 matches we have seen the home team win. And the next match is also Juventus' home match. So will Juventus win this match?

To be honest, the Juventus team is not weak. However, if the performance continues as we have seen from the Juventus players in the last few matches, the chances of Juventus winning against Lazio are very low. Juventus also failed to win against relatively weak teams. So I don't think Juventus will win against a team like Lazio.

Juventus might have a slightly bigger chance of winning than Lazio if their squad is in good condition and ready.
The problem seems to be that there is news that some Juve players are recovering from injuries. They are playing at home, but if their squad is not in the best condition, Lazio can get an advantage. Or at least a draw is very possible, but for Juventus to win, of course it requires more effort, and maybe something is not going well in Lazio's camp.

I also think if the match will it is very difficult to predict, indeed so far Juventus has been quite consistent and even until week 7 they have not been defeated by conceding only one goal, so it is clear that their consistency and defense are still better than Lazio, but we also cannot deny that Lazio currently has a sharper attack and this could be one of the factors that Motta must to watch out for in the  match,   I hope the match will create a lot of goals but if you look at the two teams currently have an inversely proportional advantage then maybe we will see a draw at the end of the match, with a solid defense of course Juventus will play defensively by relying on counterattacks, as well as Lazio who I think will continue to try to attack and pressure the Juventus defense in the match.

[el kaka22]

I believe what a team does before one game doesn't always matter as a result, how they look means a lot more. A team could have unlucky games and get results they shouldn't get while looking amazing, or a team look bad, but get a few lucky goals, and look better than they should be. This is the type of game we are talking about here. Juventus looked unlucky and they should have been getting better results, but a few unlucky misses makes them be here, whereas Lazio is a team who never looked great at all on the field, but got a few lucky wins against weaker teams.

This is why I believe we are going to see this situation not changing too much, we are going to end up seeing them have a different result when the time comes for sure. We just need to make sure that we are dealing with a team that is doing fine in the end and we are going to definitely see a situation where it will not be all that crazy, we can definitely see this changing depending on how both teams play.
