Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Frankolala]

Although Udines is given Milan more pressure now because they are trying to get a draw in the game, but I think Milan players have the winning mentality and will keep holding the game till the final whistle.there.

90+5 and Udinese scored, and there goes my ticket!  
2 shots on target and one goal, for a team that played like a 4th league Udinese really got lucky this day, unlike me!
This is just so typical Milan, that's why I really can't have them as favorites despite all my efforts to like the team, they simply can't stop making a mess of things when everything looked good on paper one day previously

Oh, nice VAR!!!! Back to 1-0, and with insane luck my ticket goes past another match!

There was an offside by one of Udinese player before the cross was made, and that led to VAR recheck which made the goal to be canceled by the referee. Udinese had two offside goals but it wasn't a clean goal, if not they would have shared point with Milan who were able to defend the only goal scored by Chukwueze with one man down. It shows that Udinese have declined in performance compared to when they started the season. Milan was able to secure three points which they deserve after all their efforts. You are lucky mate.

[Lida93]

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.

Yeah Lazio is a team that actively scored in every match but this time they were against Juventus and played away while we know that Juventus have a good defense of course this will be the question whether the two teams play defensively or attack each other, I personally think that Juventus will play more carefully and maybe not many goals but the situation will change if one of them scored in the first half so I hope there are no goals in the first half.

Juventus situation is not really good right now, there are many injured player that can not be played tomorrow, Thiago Motta is still think the substitution player who can replace Weston McKennie and Nicolo Fagioli. They also lost Gleison Bremer, Arkadiusz Milik, Nico Gonzalez, and Teun Koopmeiners before which can't be played because injured also. So with this situation Juventus is on a vulnerable condition, they have to be alert if lazio can take advantage of this condition to stab their center midfield. On average, the injured players are play in the middle position, so that condition must be fix it immediately if Juventus doesn't want to concede in 1st half. I just got brave to bet if already a player name on the list.

I think the Juventus situation is similar to that of Real Madrid and seems very much problematic for Juventus due to the peculiarity of the opponent they are about to face. Lazio has very good prospects upfront and are capable of frustrating Juventus in the Alianz Arena. For me, I think if Juventus can win this game with just a lone goal then it would be very commendable considering the number of injured players that won't be available for the coach to pick from but they still have the home advantage and only need to show some character. Lazio have been a bit consistent this season recording some wins though their away form haven't been much impressive this season so I think a draw at Juventus will be a good result for them also.

AC Milan needed the intervention of the Video Assistant Referee to grab all three points against a Genoa side that's been struggling this season. Personally, I felt disappointed with Milan after they conceded that late goal because if that goal had stood, my ticket would've been trashed as I staked on a home win. I don't know why Paulo Fonseca's men have failed to be convincing this season but if they must be able to compete for the league title this season, then they must as a matter of urgency find a playing pattern that'll bring out the best from the team.

Genoa will go home dissatisfied with the result after struggling so hard to at least get a point from the game but you can't take away the VAR as it's also part of the game as it stands

A very draining match especially for AC Milan who finally with great difficulty managed to beat Udinese. It is only natural that AC Milan struggled in this match because they were forced to play with ten men since the 29th minute and fortunately before T. Reijnders got a red card AC Milan took the lead through S. Chukwueze in the 13th minute assisted by C. Pulisic the goal lasted until the end of the match even though in the 90+5 minute Unidese managed to equalize but unfortunately the goal was disallowed after checking the Var.

This is a sweet victory for AC Milan because with this victory they managed to collect 14 points and are in 3rd place in the standings. Of course this victory will also be a good capital to face Club Brugge in the Champions League later.

Unfortunately even though AC Milan managed to win this match, it still made my bet lose because I bet on the over goal bet.

It is really bad that AC Milan could not win Udinese at San Siro. I was expecting a win from them so they draw closer to Napoli pending the outcome of Empoli against Napoli tomorrow which is likely a win for Napoli despite that they are playing at away. I was more disappointed in the fact that AC Milan did not play much of a better football their visitor and if not of luck, they would have even lost the match. Perhaps they were preparing for their European match against Club Brugge of Belgium, that could be the reason they did not play with so much energy like I expected.

[baeva]

85 minutes and still going, AC Milan is indeed doing a great job today, they are trying to hold on to win the game despite the red card they had in the first 30 minutes of the game and they are still able to keep going without conceding a goal, it shows that they are getting it right and they will soon get back to form because they started poorly this season. Although Udines is given Milan more pressure now because they are trying to get a draw in the game, but I think Milan players have the winning mentality and will keep holding the game till the final whistle.

Milan did hold up very well the whole match despite Udinese mostly dominating possession, but that didn't allow them to beat Milan because Milan attacked well. Looking at their game I only wonder why Milan finished with such a small difference, they could have easily scored two or even three goals, they had the chances to do so. Now Milan are on the 4th line of the table, but it's too early to judge the position in the table I think

[Velvet78]

Oh I was really close with my predictions. Genoa - Bologna ended up with a draw and Milan won which were both my choices. However it lost after Como lost points. 

Como played decently actually but they just couldn't complete the comeback. Anyways, no problem! It was still fun to feel that excitement.    Let's continue with the Juventus - Lazio one. It is still 0-0 and the away side got a red card. The conditions are great for Juventus to win.

[imamusma]

Until the second half, Juventus had not been able to release a single shot on target, even though they had the advantage in number of players. The red card received by Romagnoli in the 24th minute did not immediately make it easier for Juventus to score a goal, if Lazio were able to play disciplined in the remaining time, most likely this match would end in a draw. Vlahovic and his colleagues looked very dominant in the course of the match, they continued to try to press, but their game so far has not been effective in breaking down Lazio's defense. The temporary score is still 0-0.

I'm happy for you, losing in the last seconds is always bad. But it's even more fun to win again after thinking you lost. Sometimes things like this happen. It's sad that Milan experienced something like this in the last minutes of this match. They will think they won this match statistically, but many people don't agree.
How correct was the decision the referee made after the VAR footage? I think we watched a position that is quite open to discussion

The match was not expected to be an easy one, it is a tough match and it has always been a tough match between Juventus and Lazio.

The red card helped Juventus to keep their unbeaten record and ti get the three points, even though it is an own goal. Can we say that Juventus is not strong enough to compete for the title? Because I was expecting them to win the match easily because of the red card, but they couldn’t, but the three points is very important for them.

Juventus' defense has been really strong this season and all the teams who have faced them have ultimately acknowledged that. Juventus has missed week 8 of Serie A with a narrow 1-0 win over Lazio, meanwhile Juventus still maintains its unbeaten record until this week. But unfortunately, Juventus is not very productive in scoring goals and so far they have only scored 11 goals in their 8 matches.

In the coming days, Juventus will have an equally interesting match in the Champions League. Juventus won the previous match against Leipzig 2-3, then will be challenged again by the Bundesliga team Stuttgart. So far Stuttgart has not performed very well in the Bundesliga and Champions League, so Juventus' victory in this match can be quite convincing. So far Juventus have won 2 of 8 matches in the Champions League, they are likely to win their 3rd in the next match to get 9 points.

AC Milan is still not consistent enough in today's match because they have not been able to maximize their strength until the end of the match, meaning Udinese was able to score a goal in the final minutes of the match. Although the goal was not validated because of Var, Fonseca must evaluate the team's performance to be better in the upcoming match. Indeed, they managed to get 3 points, but in terms of statistics, AC Milan needs a lot of changes that they need to improve again.

Yes, on the one hand, this is a fairly dramatic victory because one of the AC Milan players got a red card and they were able to play under great pressure and also managed to come out as winners. I also agree with your opinion that this match is an important match for AC Milan because they need to improve their mentality to be strong because in the next match AC Milan will play in the Champions League.

[Ryu_Ar1]

I think now Udinese are at least able to score a goal and play draw and maybe even beat Milan, but before this match the odds on Udinese to win were 7.9, but I think that few people expected that Milan will be left in the minority in the 29th minute.

From the start Udinese were not favored in their match but there was good momentum after Milan lost a player to a red card but it was not enough to make them secure the points in this match.

At the beginning of the match Milan dominated but they realized that changes had to be made especially after the 1 goal they managed to get so they immediately tried a scheme by securing the defense and midfield in the second half which made Udinese hassle to provide different results for them.

Their efforts also looked futile because in the end they did not have a good finisher so the many chances they had did not have much impact on Milan's defense which was strong enough to make Udinese seem to waste opportunities in this match. This result is enough to keep Milan in the top 4 at least for their 8th week.

What a horrible game this evening between Lazio and Juventus.
1-0 ended but Juve got 1 more man for over 1 half time but they were barely able to shoot.

3 shoots in the whole game and 1 goal scored with owngoal, way far away on being a good team able to win the league.

Next week big match in Milan with Inter.

I admit it is difficult to predict this match accurately, the main reason is because these 4 teams are in positions 3 to 6 in the standings, each has its own advantages but is still unstable in playing the game.
AC Milan is filled with better players than Udinese, unfortunately their game rhythm has not been formed perfectly. Acting as the host is another advantage, because both Milan and Udinese have opportunities, I think both teams will score goals considering both are weak in defense.

And the Juventus vs Lazio match as you mentioned, Juventus' defense line has been solid so far, that is an advantage that Lazio does not have, but considering Lazio has the ability to score goals in any area, I think there is still a chance to score at least 1 goal at Juve's home. I hope Thiago Motta's team sharpens their attack line so that their chances of winning are even greater.

And this is the result, Milan victory was like a surprise for me because there was no resistance from Udinese.
In fact, in the match Udinese had some very good opportunities but did not take advantage of those opportunities well.
But it doesn't matter even though my bet lost but I am comfortable seeing Milan victory with lots of changes that were able to find good opportunities to score.
Now the competitors in serie A are getting more interesting after Milan found the key that had been lost.

Despite playing the last 65 minutes of the game with 11 men against Lazio's 10 men, Juventus was only able to record their only game of the game in the 85th minute and it was an own goal that was M. Gila. I don't know why Thiago Motta is struggling at his new club since the start of the season but he just has to work on whatever is slowing down his team's play if he truly wants to succeed as a Juventus manager. Three points for Juventus which I think was the most important thing about the game for them but a very boring performance from the Old Ladies of Turin

For a while I taught Milan was about drawing the game when at the last minute of the game they had a goal and later it was cancelled but I had expected before then Milan were going to be getting more goals much before but they struggled such that even to the end of the game they couldn't get a second goal after scoring an early goal. Home advantage was supposed to be an advantage enough for them to be able to keeping their visitor in a position where they feel confident enough to challenge them to the point to share points with them.

The game has ended and the scoreline is 1 - 0 as juventus has won the game. It wasn't an easy game for juventus but it's good as they didn't have to draw again but won. It's not easy to play against a team having one less player as they won't come out to attack you but will be playing defensive and when they do that, It'll become so difficult for you to try and penetrate their defence. Lazio tried their best to stop juventus from scoring but at the end. It was their own player that got the goal. As the table stands, Juventus are level with Napoli on points although Napoli has one outstanding game to play and increase the gap when they play against Empoli.

They won, got full 3 points, the point is they won, whatever the conditions.
but if you look at the statistics, really, actually, they were very lucky, but they missed so many chances. and they were just lucky with this victory. How could it not be? Their opponent got a red card, but Juve was actually unable to score a single goal, and fortunately Lazio did OG, and this was super bonus luck for Juve. If there was no OG, it probably means there would be no goals, right? Hmm

But indeed, so far, the number of Juventus GF is not that much, but their GA is very small, only 1 GA. Juve's defense is indeed very strong. But the attacking is still lacking, especially for the winger section.

Playing at the San Siro should be an advantage but with the condition of AC Milan which is still not good it is not a more advantage for them, it appears that Udinese played better than AC Milan itself despite playing away, fortunately indeed in the first round they could get 1 Goal for the position of victory and play defending to maintain victory, and indeed fortunately the goal did not happen, which brought victory to AC Milan, and Breakwa AC Milan to 4th place in the standings.
