Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Docnaster]

Last night in the Italian Serie A, Napoli defeated another big Italian team AC Milan with a 0:2 scoreline at the San Siro stadium. It was Napoli's 6th consecutive wins in all competitions and their 5th successive win in the Italian Serie A as the league leaders are now 7 points clear at the summit of the table. Khicha Kvaratskhelia and Romelu Lukaku's strikes was what ensured the visitors left with a clean sheet and a three points. After a poor defense of the league title last season in the Italian league, it looks like Napoli are back to their best thanks to the tactical strength of the club new manager Antonio Conte.

Fiorentina have won 4 of the last 5 matches and drawn one.
Fiorentina have managed to win the last two matches by big margins. 60 against Leece, and a big 5-1 win against Roma. Fiorentina also won the match against AC Milan by 2-1.

In the next few matches, Fiorentina's opponent is relatively weak. Since Fiorentina is in a very good form now, it is assumed that Fiorentina will be able to continue the winning streak in the upcoming matches. Fiorentina will play against Genoa, Torino and Verona in the next three matches.

Fiorentina is seriously pursuing the top position in the standings, they do not have a tight schedule like other clubs who have to divide their players time and energy in the Champions League. Fiorentina chances are still wide open with a focus on Serie A this season, making Inter and Juventus have to be careful. From 9 matches and only experiencing 1 defeat, Fiorentina is recorded as a club that has made significant changes. Winning with a promising score of 5-1 over Roma certainly makes this a breath of fresh air to continue the positive trend.

This is a good position because of their strength and good play but if they don't work hard and didn't play well they need to be careful. I think they will be a strong team but they are not interest in that which is why they lose matches. In these matches Fiorentina has perform very well and score more goals.  Those who bet on the opposing teams would have been surprise by their performance.  Because Fiorentina score a lot of goal in these match and won the most matches.Their next matches will be watchable as many are wait to see if Fiorentina will keep their win streak or lose the match.

Five straight wins for Napoli and it's safe to say they are slowly letting the rest of Serie A know they have come to solidify their spot in the top of the league.
It's not like Milan haven't been experiencing challenges but I didn't think they would allow themselves to be beaten and don't register much threat to the defense of the visitors. Two beautiful goals from Romelu Lukaku and Kvaratsvkhelia gave Napoli the necessary three points to further extend their lead on the table and for me I think Paulo Fonseca's position as Milan coach needs to be reevaluated because you can't be losing points when you should be doing everything in your power to ensure the team moves up the table.
 Imagine Napoli taking three points and maintaining a clean sheet as well doesn't look welm for them especially against a team like AC Milan.

I never thought Napoli will be this brilliant against Ac Milan with all the good players Ac Milan have it doesn't show that they're playing a side that we should say are the same match as them. Ac Milan have lost it all I must say, Napoli played like a champion and staying put on top of the table till this very moment and having that momentum to always get 3pt is something I'm still surprised at. Conte is taking this team to the next level and believe me when I say this, very soon Inter, Juventus and the other teams who we know are the big boys won't stand a chance against Napoli.
As for the coach of Ac Milan I think his time is up because the consistency is no longer there, they have players who are capable of changing the outcome of any game to be in their favor but it seems this man Fonseca doesn't have what it takes to set his players up and to give a better selection, maybe a game or two would tell if he has learnt his lesson.

Napoli has shown an extraordinary performance this season, the change of coach has given Napoli quite a good result and I think Conte has managed to build a very solid and consistent team this season, even though the league journey is still very long, but if you look at the condition, mentality and also consistency that Napoli has at the moment of course gives them a great hope and  chance to win the Scudetto, he victory over Milan has shown how Conte expertise in strategizing to destroy the Rossoneri squad in the match.

Contrast from Milan who actually experienced a decline in performance at this time even though last season they were runners-up in Serie A, the change of coach in my opinion is the beginning of Milan's current collapse, they actually threw away Pioli who has been able to bring Milan as a title challenger and the funny thing is that Milan actually made Fonseca a coach who is indeed no better than pioli,Milan have a talented squad and are actually full of star players, but fonsesca seems to have trouble finding consistency and creating a good chemistry between the players, if fonsesca don't immediately find a solution to revive milan of course his position will be very threatened in milan.

We are all seeing what Conte is doing and how well the team is becoming and also the other teams are noticing the force the Napoli side are bringing, they know Napoli is becoming difficult to defeat and the improvement is massive compare to when they played their first game of the season. But I still can't say they'll maintain this consistency because the season is still young and we are not yet done with the first half of the season, teams like Napoli can make that crucial mistake when is time to stay consistent.
Ac Milan still have time to change their mentality but it has to be fast because we're getting to the stage of the competition where if you lose a game to recover will be very hard and other teams will make sure they too get point to top any team that falls behind. Where you have Napoli, Juventus, Inter, Atalanta, Lazio and Udinese, Ac Milan are suppose to be struggling to be in the top 4 and not outside the top 4. With the good players they have the coach is suppose to make these guys to be more aggressive than what we saw last night.

• Empoli vs Inter (BTTS No)
• Juventus vs Parma (over 3.25)
• Atalanta vs Monza (Atalanta -1.5)
• Venezia vs Udinese (Udinese win)

TBH, I almost forgot that today there is a match and fortunately I read other people's reply here and I have predictions as above.
IMO, there will be a surprise in the favorite team match between Inter or Juventus. So I will not bet on 1x2.

I also don’t know about the Seria A match of today because I never expected Mid week games to have started soon.

On your predictions, I think they are right but I don’t know the courage you have in Juventus to predict above three goals in the match, but the remaining games can go well because they are all realistic.

Inter Milan will win this match will full force because they will not want dropping any point because Napoli under Conte has become very serious and they will like to catch up with them.

Empoli vs Inter

Empoli (predicted lineup): Devis Vasquez, Saba Goglichidze, Ardian Ismajli, Mattia De Sciglio, Emmanuel Quartsin Gyasi, Liam Henderson, Youssef Maleh, Tino Anjorin, Giuseppe Pezzella, Jacopo Fazzini, Lorenzo Colombo.

Inter Milan (predicted lineup): Yann Sommer, Yann Aurel Bisseck, Stefan de Vrij, Alessandro Bastoni, Matteo Darmian, Nicolo Barella, Piotr Zielinski, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Federico Dimarco, Marcus Thuram, Lautaro Martinez.

Empoli have been struggling to win a game since when they secured win in an away game against Torino with 1-2 and they are working hard to position themselves in the middle of the table but it seems they find it difficult because they haven't secured a victory in their last four matches and now they are facing Inter Milan who have maintained unbeaten in away matches nearly half a year and that is because of their strength, Inter Milan are currently doing well but sometimes football teaches us lessons, conclusions can not be drawn until the final whistle.

Venezia vs Udinese
Venezia (predicted lineup): Filip Stankovic, Antonio Candela, Michael Svoboda, Jay Idzes, Francesco Zampano, Hans Nicolussi Caviglia, Alfred Duncan, Gianluca Busio, Ridgeciano Haps, Joel Pohjanpalo, Gaetano Oristanio.

Udinese (predicted lineup): Maduka Okoye, Christian Kabasele, Jaka Bijol, Lautaro Gianetti, Kingsley Ehizibue, Sandi Lovric, Jesper Karlstroem, Jurgen Ekkelenkamp, Jordan Zemura, Lorenzo Lucca, Keinan Davis.

Venezia are hosting Udinese for the tenth round of series A league, Venezia are still struggling to get themselves together but it seems not working out because they keep on declining in their performance since when the recorded their first win of the season against Genoa, after the win Venezia began to concede two goals in four consecutive matches they had, in their last match against Monza which they have opportunity to win the game but they didn't make use of the chances they dominated the entire game and score goals but later Monza equalised to make it draw. Udinese have secured three victories against Venezia which I believe this match will make it fourth but let see how it will go since they draw the last game

Empoli vs Inter today match we will pick Inter as favorite for betting. We know Inter are in very good form at the moment, their team is very strong which is why they are currently in a better position than all the other teams. If they win today's match against Empoli they will go ahead in the points table, Inter and Juventus are currently one point apart in the points table. However, looking at today's match betting odds, we can confirm that Empoli are strong favorites to win this match, so today's match is going to be a win for Inter.

It is not surprising that even though Inter Milan is the away team, they are still favored in the match because if we compare the two teams, Inter Milan is far superior to Empoli. And in this match I think getting 3 points is a must for Inzaghi's squad because they are far behind Napoli, but in any case in a football match there are always surprises in this case Inter must focus even though their opponent is a weak team, because if they make a mistake of course Empoli will take advantage of it well.

Empoli don't like to lose at home, the last time they lost at home to Napoli 0-1 and before that there were mostly draws and rare wins. Another fact is that Empoli haven't scored at home for 4 games in a row, which is a lot, I think they will try to fix it today, but if their statistics are not very good, then you shouldn't count on their attack, most likely they will focus on their defense again, sometimes they do it better. For Inter today only a win is needed, because any loss of points will allow Napoli to pull away.

I will go with the option of straight wins for the matches of Inter Milan, Juventus, and Atalanta as I don't expect all of them to score many goals. Juventus for instance, have not been scoring much goals even when they play at home but because Parma is a very weak team especially at away compared to Juventus, a straight win for Juventus is like a safer option than expecting 3 goals in the match. Inter Milan at away too will like play more of defense than attack with the aim of getting at least one goal.

Here's mine



I am confident Inter Milan and Juventus will win. They played well in their last games, which gives me confidence.

As for Atalanta's game, they are unbeaten in their last three games. They crushed Verona 6-1 in their last match. It's important to note, Verona is above Monza in the standings. I think they're going to take three points by doing an effortless match.

Lastly, it's hard to predict the Venezia vs Udinese game. Their odds differ slightly, which is very weird. This is because Venezia is a relegation team, while Udinese is in the top 10. It seems to me that if there is a fierce game, I think Udinese is gonna win it soon.

[Majestic-milf]

 To be honest, Inter haven't had that start to the season that everyone expected being that they won the league title last season but I believe that won't stop them from taking all three points from Empoli.
 Empoli in their last five games have just had one win and since they play hosts to Inter, maybe they can salvage themselves by getting goals or they could settle for another draw like they did to Parma.

 The game I'm more interested in is the Juventus vs Parma game though because the Old Lady have not recorded any loss since the beginning of the season and who knows if this will be the game to take their unbeaten record from them.

[Polkeins]

Napoli is quite solid after changing everything to be spectacular again after Conte's arrival, Napoli managed to win 2 goals without reply at the San Siro, this shows how weak the attack or Milan team is, and I managed to win my bet Napoli won with good odds and I managed to get a profit, talking about betting I think you don't see H2H each other so you bet on Btts even though you can hold Napoli with full confidence because they are quite good at the moment and vice versa with Milan who have been weak lately.

Winning big at Milan's home ground is certainly something extraordinary for Napoli because the visiting team Napoli was immediately able to take the lead in the first five minutes of the match and then added another goal before the first half ended. While Milan who played not well enough were only able to make greater ball possession but Milan were unable to score a single goal let alone equalize. And as a result of this victory, Napoli is now increasingly solid at the top of the standings and Milan is sinking further this season in the Italian League.

Napoli are on fire, this time Milan were unable to stop their winning streak even though they played at the San Siro, Goals were scored by Romelu Lukaku and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, now Antonio Conte's team is increasingly comfortable at the top of Serie A with 25 points from 10 matches. Napoli need not regret following Conte wishes to replace their mainstay striker, Oshimen, with Lukaku. Conte seems to have strong chemistry with Lukaku, he performed very well during his time under Conte's management, getting rid of Osimhen was not a mistake because Napoli's front line is still very productive in every match.

Conte is not the kind of coach who tolerates capricious players like osimhen and after his unwillingness to play at napoli and move somewhere else it became clear that Osimhen's career at Napoli is over and now without him Napoli is even stronger.
Lukaku is really show good play with coaches that believe in him, it was like that with Mourinho, it was like that with Conte.
Lukaku has already scored 4 goals in 8 games, which is not bad and if he keeps on scoring at the same rate, he can score more than last season when he managed to score 13 goals for Roma last season.

Sadly we forget the impact of a player easily because the club is doing well without him. Last season Napoli had so many problems with coaches and it greatly affected the performance of the players. Last two seasons Victor Osimhen was the highest goal scorer in the Seria A and he contributed greatly to the club which made them win the Ligue title. His relationship with the club became strained when he was mocked for missing a penalty and he decided to leave.

No doubt Lukaku is doing a good job in Napoli but insinuating that Osimhen wouldn't have done better is not right. In just six games the Nigerian striker has scored four goals and given four assists in his first season in the Turkish League. Antonio Conte simply chose Lukaku and I don't think he is wrong but I know that the Nigerian would have done better.

[IvugeoEvolutionCoin]

In the match of Venezia vs Udinese team in Italian League, Udinese team is leading by 2 goals so far. The players of Venezia team have not scored any goals yet. It seems that Venezia team will not be able to score any goals in this match. The player of Udinese team is S. Lovric.  1st goal in 19 minutes and I. Bravo scored 2nd goal in 25 minutes. Udinese team is in 3rd place in the points table.

[Velvet78]

Napoli defeated Milan at San Siro last night, extending their lead over Inter to 7 points. Since Conte took charge, he has quickly turned Napoli back into a title-contending team. After Osimhen’s departure, I never would have expected Napoli to be at the top.

[coinlocket$]

Serie A is ongoing this mid week, dont' forget about it.
2 games are on set right now.

Almost 1st half done and we have Inter 0-0 with Empoli.
Empoli is quite a good defensive team when they play at home. Inter can win for sure but it will be not easy to score the 1st goal.

Venezia Udinese 1-2
Udinese great improvemtn from the past years, with this pace they can end in Eurocup positions.

 Empoli in their last five games have just had one win and since they play hosts to Inter, maybe they can salvage themselves by getting goals or they could settle for another draw like they did to Parma.

This match has begun and the first half will end, although the two teams have not scored goals but Inter Milan chances of winning greater after Empoli played with 10 players because of the red card. Indeed, Inter Milan's game was not impressive throughout the first half and they only have 1 shot on goal of course this is not something we expect when they are eyeing full points, yeah we can still hope in the second half and there should be no reason to miss the opportunity against 10 players.

About the match between Juventus vs Parma in general we can predict who will win, Juventus as a home team certainly has a greater chance and so far Parma hasn't played optimally even they were trapped around the relegation zone. We know sometimes Parma is unpredictable and most of their matches have a draw it's just that I'm not sure Juventus let other teams take over their position in the standings.

Almost 1st half done and we have Inter 0-0 with Empoli.
Empoli is quite a good defensive team when they play at home. Inter can win for sure but it will be not easy to score the 1st goal.

It was a difficult first half for Inter to find the back of the net despite Empoli having one man down on the 38th minutes of the game. S. Goglichidze was given a red card, and I thought it'd be a good opportunity for Inter to find the back of the net easily, but I was wrong. Inter played all their best but Empoli sealed up their defense making it a big problem for Inter to pass through for a goal. I hope that Inter will improve their attack, and become more aggressive in the second half, if they want to get full three points, otherwise, this match might end in a draw. Napoli have won their own match yesterday leading with seven points, it will be better for Inter to win this match to close the point gap.

Atalanta vs Monza

Atalanta (predicted lineup): Marco Carnesecchi, Berat Djimsiti, Isak Hien, Sead Kolasinac, Raoul Bellanova, Ederson, Marten de Roon, Matteo Ruggeri, Lazar Samardzic, Ademola Lookman, Mateo Retegui.

Monza (predicted lineup): Stefano Turati, Armando Izzo, Pablo Mari, Andrea Carboni, Pedro Pereira, Giorgos Kyriakopoulos, Alessandro Bianco, Matteo Pessina, Gianluca Caprari, Dany Mota, Milan Djuric.

Atalanta started the season with a very good motive but along the line they tend to reduced in speed but I will say maybe because of many engagement in other competitions, currently they are laying in 5th place with a 16 points, tonight they will be hosting Monza who are currently in 16th place in table with 8 points, Monza head to head against Juventus in their last five matches Monza happened to secured a win and faced four consecutive defeat with 12 conceded goals in all four matches, sometime football change but I don't expect that here.

Juventus vs Parma
Juventus (predicted lineup): Michele Di Gregorio, Andrea Cambiaso, Federico Gatti, Danilo, Juan Cabal, Manuel Locatelli, Chico Conceicao, Khephren Thuram-Ulien, Weston McKennie, Timothy Weah, Dusan Vlahovic.

Parma (predicted lineup): Zion Suzuki, Woyo Coulibaly, Enrico Del Prato, Botond Balogh, Emanuele Valeri, Mandela Keita, Simon Sohm, Dennis Man, Adrian Bernabe, Valentin Mihaila, Ange-Yoan Bonny.

Parma are seriously facing setback with their performance and tonight their go one against Juventus in an away match, since the starting of the season they only recorded a win against AC Milan which everyone thought the are back to secure position for themself but after losing two consecutive game then people tend to give up but up till now they couldn't prove anyone wrong about their performance, they continue to decline day by day, I hope they woke up in time. Juventus are also struggling too but for the title race, currently they are in third place while inter Milan are second and they have a point different but it will be very difficult for Juventus to overtake due to inter Milan performance.

[giammangiato]

Napoli won once again and this time against a top team.
Now Conte is a real risk for winning the title and his odds will drastacally lower.
Inter and Juventus now are the rivals and they must win tomorrow, no fail are allowed.

Conte is a masterclass coach, in only 4 months he change Napoli from zero to hero.

Exactly, I was thinking that too, exactly the same words
He truly got a team back on track in just four months!

And the team hasn't changed, it's still the same one that won the championship and the following year with Rudi Garcia sank into the abyss.
This thing really drive me crazy.

[Majestic-milf]

It's truly annoying that Inter couldn't take advantage of Empoli's one man absence and get at least two goals in the first half. It's as if they just want to drag the whole thing, feeling like because there's still time they can get something. This was how bad they played in the champions league and if care's not taken, there may not be many goals because Empoli will want to defend more to see if they can get a point even with ten men.
