Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Frankolala]

Jauventus is the most interesting this season, even though they are in 6th position, they are unbeaten so far. Of course this is not bad, even with a record like that they will be motivated again to maintain the record. The next match they will face AC Milan who are below them, of course this match will be fierce. Can Juventus extend their unbeaten record. Let's just wait for this match after the international break.

It would havee been a better result or outcome if they had win all matches against weaker opponents and draw with the bigger teams that way it would be easier to call them the most interesting but having to share the points with teams like Parma, Cagliari, Empoli and Roma proves they have not yet completely mastered their craft and that is why they found themselves on the 6th position. Being unbeaten they could have easily occupied the 3rd or 2nd or even 1st spot but it’s a good start though not a perfect one as you make it seem. The league is very competitive this season with 6 teams fighting it out already and 6th place Juventus is just 2 points behind Napoli.

The match against AC Milan will determine if Juventus can be a strong contender, they need to do all they can to win but it will not be easy as they will be the visitors.

With the point gap between Napoli and Juventus, I don't see what makes them weaker because it is just two points from the first position. The problem is that the other clubs above Juventus are very strong too and that is why these clubs are using just one point to be ahead of Juventus. It's certain that in the next two games, some of these clubs will lose their position. What Juventus needs to do is for them be consistent.

I really enjoy following the Serie A in the recent years. Because man just look at the winners of the last 5 years in the league. Juventus, Inter (2), Milan, Napoli... We have had many different champions in these years which is making it more fun to watch in the first place.    Before this look Juventus were completely dominating the league. Like for nearly ten years by winning the title.

It doesn't matter which team is doing it. I just don't want to see big European leagues turning into a farmers league one you know.    So what is your opinion on this year's winner?

There is only a gap of 2 points between the leader Napoli and sixth-placed Juventus. I just love the competition now. I believe Napoli will make it with Conte effect this time.

[Franctoshi]

Even though they are currently stuck in 6th position, Juventus are not too far behind the leaders, they can still compete in the title race if they can increase their goal productivity. I don't see any problem in the defense line because they were able to get a clean sheet in 9 matches, the midfield also played very well. The only problem they have is in attack as they often struggle to score against teams they should be able to beat easily. If Juventus want to bring in new players in the January transfer window, they should prioritize a striker to add to their attacking firepower.

Clubs from positions 2-6 have a small gap and can catch Napoli at the top of the standings at any time. Juventus also has the same chance if they are able to perform consistently again, for now Napoli has not really been able to feel comfortable leading Serie A. With both having played 12 matches and Napoli only 1 point ahead, it is too dangerous if after the International break against Roma the results are bad which means the position will shift.

With this table and point gaps so far, the Italian league is absolutely open for any of these six teams listed above to move up to number 1 spot, and if it happens that any of these teams has Napoli to face, then there may be a chance for a shift in points and positions displaced and gaps get filled by other teams, to me not yet clearer who's gonna be the favourable to to lift this season's trophy.

This is one of the most interesting league table so far as the teams from position 1- 6 dare not lose each games unless they will automatically be going to a different position because of their points gap, Napoli and the rest of the teams from 2nd position to 6th are not sure of staying in their position if they drop a single point,  Juventus and the rest of the team are not giving them rest because the difference is not mush any each team is going to keep being consistent for them to be sure of their position otherwise there will be no rest for each and everyone of the team until the league takes a different shape.

A competitive season. That is what i get from the current table. Almost all Serie A teams were nearly equal. This made for a very competitive league. Unlike last season, one team isn't dominating now.

As for the winner, in my opinion, i'd prefer to see Napoli take it, or maybe Juventus is my second choice. Inter was winning it last year. I don't want to see them take the scudetto again, though, they're among the favorites to win the title, based on the latest odds. But I hope a different team wins it.

[bastisisca]

I'll explain to you why I think this: 1) Juventus is not a stable team at the moment, they have changed coach and structure 2) Juventus has enormous problems in attack, their department is finally worse 3) their coach has little experience and familiarity with the big teams

And you can apply the same thing to most of the other teams, there is no team without problems in the league, and the result and the standings with just a 2-point difference for 6 places shows it!

clearly it can be applied to anyone, to any team that is in those places
but i repeat, a negative outlook due to the problems it has
Inter, for example, is a stable team and therefore does not have these problems
the same problems, obviously Milan doesn't have all of them

Napoli on the other hand is doing well

Serie A is getting more interesting to follow because the competition here looks very tight, as evidenced by the close point difference between the clubs at the top, precisely in positions 1 to 6. This is something that is very much liked by football lovers because competition like this adds to the sensation of watching each match even hotter. We will definitely wait for the results of the matches from each club, because it will greatly affect their position in the standings. This is also a motivation for the clubs that are competing, because there is no choice for them other than winning every week.

[Altryist]

Juventus are only 2 points behind Napoli. Even so, I think Juventus are not the team that deserves to win the Serie A title this season. I am not happy with Juventus' overall performance this season. Even last season, Juventus' performance was very weak. Juve's performance, I think Juventus' players' main goal is to draw the match. And if they perform like this, it will not be possible for Juventus to occupy the top position of the table.

Fiorentina and Atalanta are in better form than Juventus at the moment. These two teams have been able to continue their good performance consistently. Atalanta has probably won all their last 6 matches and Fiorentina has won all their last 5 matches. Also, Atalanta's attack is very strong this season. Atalanta's players have been able to score 31 goals in 12 matches.

Juventus are better this season, yes they still have problems in attack, this is something they will have to fix if they want to count on the Scudetto, but I can't say that they do not deserve to be champions. I would rather say that I think Atalanta and Fiorentina are higher than I expected, but I think they can hold on here for a very long time. Atalanta is known for its instability, and as for Fiorentina, I can't yet understand what they are capable of, maybe it is also only temporary.

[hahay]

And now it is officla Ranieri will be the coach of Roma.
Once again he has been called to save a situation and he said yes to his city. [...]

This is the third time AS Roma has handed over the manager's chair to Claudio Ranieri after previously being in that position in 2009/2011 & 2019. Ivan Juric's failure to get AS Roma to be considered for this season meant he was fired after losing to Bologna a few days ago, which is it's a tough task for Ranieri because currently AS Roma is in 12th position. I think Ranieri is definitely under a lot of pressure at the moment.

I am not quite sure, whether Claudio Ranieri will be the right choice and suitable for the current situation and condition of AS Roma. Because anyway, after Claudio Ranieri managed to make Leicester get the Premier League trophy at that time and after four seasons passed at that time, Claudio Ranieri also returned to become the head coach of AS Roma in the 2019 season. But it seems that Claudio Ranieri was not long enough at AS Roma at that time,  and I also don't know whether the change of coach at that time was a dismissal or indeed an expired contract. But yes, the point is I'm still not so sure Claudio Ranieri can make AS Roma get a quick improvement this season. But yes, at least Claudio Ranieri can make AS Roma return to the top zone position in the standings at least the top six or top five is not bad at all.

I'm yet to choose my favorite to win the Scudetto this season because there are heavy presence of elite clubs that have included the scudetto in their obligation this season, the fight for competitive race is on. This season have been promising for every prominent clubs in the Seria A. Winning the scudetto this season comes with huge critical tasks, we're talking about constant winning streak on the line for these elite clubs. How would it be possible to win games without facing temporary setbacks? For some it is while others, definitely not. Every club have a problem to solve this season, so Juventus is not only the club with problems. Perhaps every managers seeks more exploring ideas to solved their problems this season.

I would say it's rather early to be seeing them as deserving of the championship already, you remember last season we had them put up very similar patterns of performance so until it's about that same time last season where they could no longer maintain their form then we can tell for sure if they will still be deserving of the title but I commend their performance so far just that I've still got some skepticism around it in that I hope they don't encounter a setback later on that will cost them the scudetto because Juventus obviously still have a whole lot of team challenge to overcome. I even sent Atlanta as more stable than Juventus in the past seasons.

This season Serie A is more competitive than last season which only presented Intermilan and Milan as challengers to the Scudetto, currently with many clubs competing fiercely for the Scudetto so It allows many changes that may occur until the end of the season, moreover, we can see that each position in the standings only has a small point difference between each club, especially those that occur in the top 6 zone of course very tight, the change of coach has had a significant impact and improvement on Juventus at this time, but as you said, of course Juventus must have a good balance on every line to win the Scudetto this season.

While Atalanta and Fiorentina have surprised every season and they have been able to impress at the beginning of each season, inconsistency is often their main problem which in the end only allows them to get a place in the UCL and UEL zones so far when seasons over.

[stompix]

This season Serie A is more competitive than last season which only presented Intermilan and Milan as challengers to the Scudetto,

Milan? How come Milan was a challenger and not Juventus?
Milan finished 19 points behind Inter, and Juventus 23,  you can't make one a challenger without the other, not on that difference, by round 20 it was actually Juventus who was in second place and only 2 points behind Inter while Milan was fully 9 points behind!

I'll explain to you why I think this: 1) Juventus is not a stable team at the moment, they have changed coach and structure 2) Juventus has enormous problems in attack, their department is finally worse 3) their coach has little experience and familiarity with the big teams

And you can apply the same thing to most of the other teams, there is no team without problems in the league, and the result and the standings with just a 2-point difference for 6 places shows it!

clearly it can be applied to anyone, to any team that is in those places
but i repeat, a negative outlook due to the problems it has
Inter, for example, is a stable team and therefore does not have these problems
the same problems, obviously Milan doesn't have all of them
Napoli on the other hand is doing well

This started from Juventus, so how come Juventus which has 24 points is having problems while Inter and Napoli are doing well with nothing to fear and are just 1 and 2 points ahead? What's the difference between doing well and having major issues? Then Bologna should just give up football and dismantle the club already as for Venezia they should turn their city into Atalantis out of shame and erase all traces!

There have been only 12 games, I don;t understand how people can already predict who's going to be champion and which one has no chance at all based on so little/

[Zlantann]

But this is not the first time that Claudio Ranieri has come to AS Roma when AS Roma is in poor performance. Because in the past Claudio Ranieri also came in almost the same situation, although not as bad as now. Well, of course Claudio Ranieri will be under a bit of pressure because the club and everyone will hope that AS Roma can recover even a little under his coaching. But everyone will also understand how difficult it is to rebuild a team that has been in decline since the season started. So that everyone's expectations will not be too high for Claudio Ranieri, which means he will not have much greater pressure. The pressure will always be there but maybe it won't be too heavy.

The Italian has helped Roma qualify for the Europa Cup after an unimpressive performance by Eusebio Di Francesco. Maybe Roma sees him as a coach who can always rescue them from tight corners. Claudio Ranieri announced his retirement from club coaching after helping Cagliari escape relegation. And the 73-year-old said that he is only interested in the national team. Maybe he decided to take the Roma job because no country was coming for his services.

Even the club might not be expecting much from him since the search for a new coach will still continue. He would be in charge till the end of the season. The next three games with determine how impactful he will be, the club will be meeting Napoli, Tottenham, and Atalanta.

I even sent Atlanta as more stable than Juventus in the past seasons.

The season is uncertain and the team can change quickly when they find something new and can make them dominate the whole league, so it is still very possible for Juventus to return to their best performance, just to see today is so very heavy and I also don't think It will come faster, Atalanta looks more feasible because they played quite well and gradually they developed very well since last season, but for Fiorentina I doubted it also they could only survive for a moment, because their consistency was still very questioned for Can be the strongest candidate this season.

The Serie A is very different this season, more competitive, more qualitative and more interesting than it has always been. We are still in the first round of the league and we can count about five to six teams all having not more than three points difference between them from the first position. This is unlike it in the last two seasons and the most recent season that just passed. With the way the league is going, we can’t even be so sure of any team that can win the Scudetto yet, they’re all showing great performance and all have the tendency of winning the league title. I will say we should see how the first round will end and see the positions of each team before one can further screen to see the best teams for the Scudetto. If they all continue to be consistent, it’s going to be a very exciting competition to see this season in the Scudetto.

[Nanga Parbat]

Unbeaten when you're not winning, how's that making them the most interesting club. They're losing two points for every game that they draw and if the continue like this, they won't even qualify for champions league football next season. I'm disappointed at juventus this season and not impressed with how they're playing. If there's any club that you should be impressed by their position is Napoli. They sold their best striker and got Lukaku. Hired a new manager and now top of the league. Many people wrote them off this season that they're not going to be in the title contest but they're now the ones leading the competition and might win it with the way they're playing.

Juventus does have a record of 6 draws. But they also have a record of 6 wins and 0 losses. And yes, I also like Napoli's playing style more than Juventus this season. But actually there is not much difference in points between Napoli who are at the top and Juventus who are ranked 6th. Because Juventus, which has 24 points, is only 2 points different from Napoli, which has 26 points. So it's not a big difference. But Juventus cannot continue to have lots of draws if they want to qualify for the UCL next season. Juventus must start improving their attack and back lines and start dominating Serie A again like at the start of the season. But for now I still doubt Juventus. I'm not taking it lightly, but it looks like Juventus will have quite a hard time competing for the title.

Juventus football full strength team will play next match against Milan football full strength team. That match will be happen in San Siro stadium.  The recent performance of Milan football team is outclass because they won 3 matches from five matches and that team became successful to draw one match and it lost 1 match  out of five matches. Juventus full strength team performance is not bad and won 2 matches from 5 matches and 3 matches were draw in this match . Juventus team has good position on club level and it has 24 points and that team won 6 matches and they team did not lose any match and that team draw 6 matches.

If they all continue to be consistent, it’s going to be a very exciting competition to see this season in the Scudetto.

The Seria A is diferent this season, it has taken the standard of Premier League when it comes to how hard it is to win the competition.
I can see how other teams apart from AC Milan, Inter Milan, Juventu, and Roma we used to know are showing great quality an potential to compete for the title because they have quality players in their squad.

If you look at the team standings in the Seria A table, the first three teams are Napoli, Atalanta, and Fiorentina, then followed by the defending champions Inter Milan, this is to show you how tough the League is this season. Juventus and Milan sit in the 6th and 7th position for now after 12 games, I don't think they can make it to the top again this season unless if these teams at the top lose focus maybe due to injury or fatigue because small teams sometimes do fail along the line due to lack of proper experience.

[Kavelj22]

In a report published by the Qatar News Agency (found it by coincidence search), it was stated that Roma Club announced today that it had signed a contract with coach Claudio Ranieri to improve the team's struggling results in the league this season.

The report stated that the Italian club stated in a statement that it had signed a contract with Ranieri, 73, that extends until the end of the season to take over the task of coaching the team and improving its results in the league. The same statement added that the coach will assume a major administrative role after the end of the season, after the club reaches a contract with a replacement coach.

Coach Ranieri is widely accepted by the club's fans. It is noteworthy that Roma is in twelfth place with 13 points and has won only three matches out of a total of 12 matches, drawn four and lost five matches. Will Ranieri be able to remedy the situation?

So now Ranieri has officially come to this club 3 times. In 2009 he became the main coach for AS Roma until 2011. And then he also came as interim coach in the middle of the 2019 season until the end of the season. And now he will come back to AS Roma as interim coach towards the middle of the season with Roma's situation being bad. I'm not sure Ranieri will be able to improve the current AS Roma squad. Because I feel this club lacks quality players. And a coach will be hard-pressed to make much progress for this team. unless AS Roma makes some good transfers in the mid-season transfer market.

But Ranieri is quite often the coach of an ordinary club that doesn't have many star players in it. And he always surprises by succeeding in bringing positive changes to this ordinary club. Now of course everyone will start to hope that Ranieri will also succeed in improving As Roma's performance even though I think it really won't be easy and it won't be visible instantly.
