Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[ancafe]

Every season in the Italian league, the spotlight is on Inter Milan, AC Milan or Napoli, but this season one team is catching the attention of all football lovers and that team is Fiorentina. You can consider Fiorentina as the number four team in the points table, but there is only one point difference between the points of this team and the number one team in the points table. No matter how tough the opposition Fiorentina face this season, they are naturally able to perform well against the opposition. At first it seemed that this team might not be able to maintain this consistency for very long but since they have been able to maintain their consistent performance till this time of the season, if they are a little more serious then they will be able to maintain their consistent performance till the end of the season.

It is natural because Inter Milan and AC Milan are strong teams in Serie-A and so is Juventus even though they are currently in a less stable condition. Napoli started to be talked about after successfully presenting the champion in the Spalletti era and this season they have performed so well again that they have a chance to compete for the title again. Fiorentina have also made a little better progress for now but they will be tested a lot about consistency because the difficult thing is to stay in the competition.

The competition for the title is still quite long because the points difference between the challengers is still very close so there is still a chance for the teams to catch up. AC Milan must fight harder because they are currently stuck in seventh place in the standings below Juventus.

I still have no doubts about Atalanta's appearance and performance this season, especially in Serie A because from their ranking alone it is clear that Atalanta is in the best position, while Roma is still in the middle ranking and has not even entered the top ten. This means that Roma's chances of winning at home are very slim when hosting Atalanta who are still in their best condition, although I also don't think that Atalanta can win easily at Roma's home later. However, I am also not sure that Roma will be able to stop Atalanta's progress in that match.

They have made rapid progress and I started to notice them when they managed to beat Leverkusen in the Europa League. When compared to Roma, Atalanta is clearly much better because in terms of their position in the standings they are different and vice versa if you look at the results of the matches in Serie-A for both of them which are quite different. Atalanta is much more favored to win the match because they are currently much better even though the match will take place at Roma's home. The match will not be easy for Atalanta because Roma will try to play better, but if you look at the opportunities available, Atalanta will be the favorite in the match.

What Atalanta did wasn't really unique, Napoli did the same thing and got a title thanks to that. It's basically get players who are playing like star in other leagues but from cheaper countries. You can't get star players from Spain, France, Germany, England or even Italy in most cases if you are not rich, but you can get the best player in Polish League, or get the best player in Turkish league, Belgium league etc etc, and when they did that, it improved them a lot and they made a lot of money from that, and eventually they spent it on bigger and better players. Osimhen wasn't some "gem" they found, Napoli paid 80 million for him. Atalanta is doing exactly the same method, nothing really that crazy when you think about it.

It might not have been unique, but it is still not trivial to do. There is a reason why those "cheaper countries" as you call them are quite low down the list in the FIFA ranking. The reason is that Poland doesn't have as many exquisite players as countries like Spain or England or Italy. This translates into the fact that finding players who could become stars is much harder to do in Poland than it is in Spain. But if a club succeed in finding some of the best talents in a cheap country during an early development phase of the player, then it is the jackpot. But you still need to integrate them into the team and make the right decisions in order for them to keep thriving in the harder leagues.

But it should be noted that Atalanta isn't the only club recognizing this potential. Those times are over. All have their scouting departments and the players get signed at younger and younger ages, which makes it a tough business to sort out whether a player from one of these less popular football countries is worth the bet.

Bologna is a decent team, but beating Lazio was never on their card, they lost to Lille as well and I think that could be for them this season, can't really expect them to do any differently moving forward. They are a midtable team at best, while I know they are at UCL because they finished great last season, some teams carry their success go another new season while the others are not really doing that at all, some of them are just focusing on the wrong things and end up losing all together.

This is why I believe that we can consider the situation Bologna in right now is just "season after success" and not the good season itself. I do not think betting on them this season makes that much sense, unless you are betting against them.

This is called transfer policy. I think Napoli is one of the teams in Italy that does this best. As a Turk, I see Napoli buying and selling important players from Turkey. South Korean defender Kim Min-Jae, who currently plays for Bayern Munich, is an example of this. They transferred him from Fenerbahçe and sold him to Bayern Munich for a very high transfer fee. We can call this transfer a gem transfer. They paid a lot for Osimhen and it seems like they will not be able to get the expected transfer profit from him.

Week 14 will be started today and there is the match between Cagliari vs Verona and i have to says the performance of both teams is not so different because from 5 latest matches in Serie A Cagliari only gets 2 draw and Verona only get 1 win and as usual the match between mediocre teams is always be hard to predicted but usually the bookies will provide high odds for this match and based on the picture above we can see Cagliari status as the favourite with odds @1.96

Verona away matches in Serie A is very poor because they were suffering 5 loses so probably Cagliari can taking advantages from these conditions but indeed i have to says it is hard for Cagliari to bounce back and win this match so i am thinking possibility this match will ended to draw or both teams to scores i think good picked too

Ranieri really started with a pretty disadvantageous condition. Yes, because in his first match, he had to play against Napoli in Serie A. And then, AS Roma played against Tottenham in the UEFA Europa League. And in the next match, they will play against Atalanta in Serie A again, which is currently on fire as the temporary runner up.

But from here, so far 2 two matches played, we can already see there is a difference in Roma's performance, not very good, but there is progress in better performance.

Yes, it's true, even though AS Roma haven't won in the last 2 matches after Ranieri took over the coaching bench there, we have seen AS Roma improve slightly in terms of their performance on the field. And I think the draw at Tottenham headquarters yesterday was an achievement worth celebrating. Because it's not easy to hold Tottenham to a draw, who I think are in pretty good form.

But I agree that Ranieri was unlucky because he debuted at AS Roma and had to immediately face strong teams. Napoli and Tottenham and then Atalanta. Well it's not an easy thing at all. 3 strong teams at once in 3 consecutive matches. I hope that in the match against Atalanta we will start to see the results of AS Roma's progress under Ranieri's coaching.

Roma got one point from Spurs and they lost to Napoli but in that match, Roma deserve to have one point from Napoli, they were only unlucky in that match in Naples last weekend.

2 matches, no win, it's not enough to say Ranieri has good starts with Roma but he helped Roma players performed better and there is good signal that they can come back with winnings soon when playing against opponents that are weaker than Napoli and Spurs.

But I agree that Ranieri was unlucky because he debuted at AS Roma and had to immediately face strong teams. Napoli and Tottenham and then Atalanta. Well it's not an easy thing at all. 3 strong teams at once in 3 consecutive matches. I hope that in the match against Atalanta we will start to see the results of AS Roma's progress under Ranieri's coaching.

The schedule is very tough for Roma and Ranieri especialy they have to meet three strong oppennts in their crisis time. Atalanta are one of strongest and most impressive clubs in Serie A now, and I am really unsure that Roma and Ranieri can find their first winning by beating Atalanta this time. It's very dificulty for Roma and maybe they will have another non-win match, that can be a draw, and have to wait till one more match for a first winning with Ranieri.

So far Ranieri has shown good adaptability with Roma, although he coacing the team when the season has been running, but Roma performance has shown a slight positive improvement although they failed to beat Tottenham in yesterday's match, Tottenham is not an easy team to deal with, so indeed getting a draw is a positive thing for them after the poor performance of the Ivan Jurig era, I think Ranieri started a positive step with Roma, so if they can go through the transition process in the near time, of course they have a chance to be able to improve their position in Serie A and the European league to be even better later.

[Fara Chan]

It is natural because Inter Milan and AC Milan are strong teams in Serie-A and so is Juventus even though they are currently in a less stable condition. Napoli started to be talked about after successfully presenting the champion in the Spalletti era and this season they have performed so well again that they have a chance to compete for the title again. Fiorentina have also made a little better progress for now but they will be tested a lot about consistency because the difficult thing is to stay in the competition.

I am still quite sure that the top five teams in the Serie-A standings this season will continue to try to be more consistent until the end of the season if their players are not injured or continue to be in good condition in every match this season. Because what makes a team unable to continue to be consistent is when some of their main players are injured so that this can cause the team's performance to decline. But if the condition of teams like Napoli, Inter Milan and Fiorentina is still like it is now, I think they will all continue to create fiercer competition in the Serie-A competition this season.

Atalanta's attack line is a mainstay for the coach because if you look at their productivity in scoring goals is very good. From the four matches that have taken place, Roma have not been able to win a single match so this is a big weakness that can be exploited by Atalanta and I also see Atalanta's consistent performance giving a much greater chance of beating Roma. It is almost certain that it will be very difficult for Roma to match Atalanta's game because currently they are in a fairly positive trend and another motivation is that they will compete with Napoli who currently only have one point left and will have a great opportunity to catch up.

I agree with you. This match will be won by Atalanta because they are in their best form. Although AS Roma has been trained by new coach Cladio Ranieri, so far Roma has not fully returned to its best form.

Moreover, Roma after losing against Napoli and drawing against Tottenham. Roma's confidence has not fully recovered, this is very different from Atalanta, they are in their best form, they have not even been defeated in 12 matches in all competitions.
So even though AS Roma is playing at home in this match, and Atalanta will also play without their coach who is currently serving a match ban. However, it seems that Roma will still have difficulty beating Atalanta who are in good form.

From all that you said it is true that predicting a mediocre team is indeed a bit difficult but for me it will be very profitable with big odds.
Logically, bookmakers will favor Cagliari because they are playing at home and have conceded fewer goals than Verona.
However, from a bettor's point of view, things like this make me sure that Verona will actually win. From H2H we can consider the experience of both teams and I will dare to bet on Verona victory to get odds @4

AS Roma are going through a difficult moment with three straight defeats in Serie A. Obviously, very low morale at the moment for such results. Even though being led by an experienced coach like Claudio Ranieri, they seem to be struggling to find a consistent rhythm. Playing at home might give them a small advantage, but that is not enough if their performance remains erratic.

Atalanta, on the other hand, are flying. They have won their last five Serie A matches, and doing this just goes on to show the consistency and will that they are playing with. The accumulation of 28 points places them just one point below Napoli, pushing them to challenge at the summit of the table. That makes Atalanta very strong favorites for a match which in truth they should be winning anyway, sans their coach on the bench! Roma will really have to fight hard to stop the positive run from Atalanta.

Sometimes the odds are a bit deceiving, if you follow them, Even though that Cagliari is playing at home, I will pick Verona to win this game, or most likely both teams will lock horns,  I don't really see the possibility of the home team winning their visitors so easily.
This game is definitely going to be an interesting game to pay very close attention to.

Fiorentina vs Inter Milan


This match is very interesting to watch because both teams that will meet have the same points in the standings. Fiorentina surprised us all this season they performed well they could have beaten inter but on the other hand Inter also did not want to lose. It seems the match will be fierce but I do not see many goals, the possibility of a thin score will occur or it could end in a draw.

Currently Fiorentina and Inter Milan even have the same number of points in Serie A. Inter Milan and Fiorentina both have 8 wins, 4 draws and 1 loss this season in Serie A. This indicates that Inter Milan and Fiorentina is at almost the same level this season. So I also think that this match will be very fierce. I'm not sure whether there will be many goals or not. But I'm pretty sure there won't be a draw in this match. I'm sure someone will win this match. Fiorentina they could be favored as hosts. It's just that Inter Milan is not a team that will be weak when visiting the opponent's headquarters. Inter Milan is always ready to beat its opponents wherever they are. So I will favor Inter Milan.

It would be better if Fiorentina could beat Inter, but based on the chances both have the same position 50:50. This match will certainly be fierce where Fiorentina and Inter will target 3 points to pass Napoli who only have 1 point at the top of the standings. Fiorentina has developed rapidly after having the former Man United goalkeeper. All Fiorentina ranks admit that De Gea presence has had a positive impact on the club. This is a home game in which Fiorentina have never conceded more than 2 goals.

With the performance that has been shown by Fiorentina this season, it is likely that Intermilan will have a difficult match in week 14, the match will be a very crucial match for both teams to be able to secure their position in the standings, so far both teams have the same points and Intermilan is only ahead of Fiorentina with goal difference,  So whoever can win the match will of course have a better position, ans even have the potential to be at the top of the Serie A standings if in other matches atalanta and Napoli get a defeat or draw from their opponents.

Wow, very interesting of course, because Fiorentina and Inter really have the same results so far in Serie A, the same in points and the same in the number of goal aggression with 17 goals at this time and not only that, because they also have 8 wins, four draws and one loss. With results like this, ofcourse Fiorentina really becomes a serious team in the competition for the scudetto this season, and that is also thanks to the good influence of De Gea. But even so,  the fact is that the odds available at this time at least Inter is still quite favored, Fiorentina @ 3.70 and Inter @ 2.00. Even though the odds are like that, I am also sure that Fiorentina still has a chance to get points whether with a win or just a draw and the point is, it is not easy for Inter to beat Fiorentina  at this moment.

Yes you are absolutely right I just looked at Atlanta record in which I saw only 1 draw in the first 10 matches while win the remain 9 matches and those matches were also pretty good and won on a high goal basis.It is their own fault that they are not play well the loss of which will be felt later as they are only playing matches and completing their facilities. They will realize when they get closer to the title.This is also because they used to be similar teams  their records and perform were equal with Atalanta improving themselves by doing well and becoming strong and Roma getting weak. That why Atlanta is taking advantage.Atalanta next matches are going to be tough as they have Roma, Real Madrid and AC Milan which makes it difficult for Atalanta to see if they will continue their win streak with a win or a defeat.
