Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[OcTradism]

• Milan vs Empoli (under 2.5)
• Bologna vs Venezia (BTTS)

In the Milan match it will be a little interesting. Because Milan should indeed be favored as the winner to face Empoli. However, Empoli is not an easy team to beat and currently Empoli has a pretty good defense. I think Milan will win by a narrow score.

Bologna after losing Motta to Juventus, is no longer an interesting underdog in Serie A, and I am not interested in their match with Venezia. AC Milan have some bad matches so far but they are gradually coming back to their level, and they are trying to improve their rank in Serie A. This match with Empoli can be another chance for AC Milan to find 3 more points and also get an opportunity of ranking up higher.

AC Milan must win against Empoli, it's good for their rank after this week, and they will have to reserve good resources for very last matches in group phase of Champions League 2024 - 2025.

Why do you think that 1.4 for a double chance is not enough? In my opinion, this is a good compensation for the risk and if you look at it on paper, Atalanta is guaranteed not to lose (practice, of course, often differs from theory).
If it is an open game then even a total over 3.5 will be a safe bet, but I assume that Roma will look for their chances in defense, so the game may end with a very modest score.

Because who knows maybe Roma will surprise us and win this game.    This is why I would like to prefer over 2.5 goals at higher odds which seems like a more reasonable risk to me now.

Impossible to happen. Roma looks so garbage, and they're at the bottom. They're gonna face a team that destroyed Napoli, and Napoli beat them 1-0, where's the logic? Roma can only count to the its miracle to win against Atalanta.

This game is hardest game for Roma. They draw against Totenham, but they were lucky enough in that game. That caused by Tottenham hitting the post three times. They may not be lucky enough when they're facing Atalanta soon.

As for the bet, id' prefer to pick Atalanta win (2.27). It offers better chance to win instead of total over 2.5, which offers less. Atalanta is also having greater chance to win. It means the possibility to doubled our money is there.

Winning with a score of 2-0 is still possible to be the final score in the Milan vs Empoli match, but if Empoli is able to score a goal too then I think it will make the final  score maybe have three goals. But indeed, based on their head to head record at least Milan also does not win too often with a big score, therefore I say it is still possible to happen. But atleast, if I also consider the trend that Milan has had lately, it seems that Milan has good productivity too and it is still possible  for Milan to win with a big score.

After all, right now Milan has also had two goals in the 19th minute with a goal made by Morata and in the 44th minute with a goal made by Reijnders.If they still have great ambitions to score more goals in the second half, then over 2.5 is still possible, but I only bet on Milan  to win in this match.

[imamusma]

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.

Then what will happen if the five teams suffer injuries to their core players and do you think they will lose their chance to compete for the title? Of the five teams we talked about, I see Napoli and Atalanta as teams that have the ability to compete, although I don't ignore the other three teams because now these two teams are much more consistent in making changes from the previous season.

After beating Roma by a narrow score, Napoli is getting stronger as a challenger in the standings while Atalanta will host Roma next week. Atalanta also has good capital because they have performed optimally so far and have a big chance to beat Roma next week.

Player injuries have the potential to make a team chances of winning the Scudetto slim. With the top five teams so close on points, it's hard to predict who will win the Scudetto this season, but Napoli and Atalanta do look promising, and I would add Inter Milan as another strong candidate. Florentina and Lazio seem to only want a place in the top four, and it's possible that Juventus and AC Milan will bounce back in the second half of the season.
The AS Roma vs Atalanta match will most likely end in a draw, although we realize Atalanta are more favored based on their current form. When you see AS Roma were able to hold Tottenham to a draw in the Europa League, there is hope that they can do the same when they host Atalanta. Claudio Raneiri has played a key role in AS Roma improvement since replacing Ivan Juric.

The Como vs Monza match is currently underway. And the score still shows 0-0. These two teams, namely Como and Monza, are currently both in the relegation zone. And for these two teams, winning this match will give them the opportunity to get out of the relegation zone. So both teams fought harder than usual in this match. I favor Como in this match because I always see that this team actually always has a pretty good game strategy. It's just that this team really lacks quality players. And I hope Como can continue to survive in Serie A. I want to see this team develop even better from season to season in Serie A. And if Como wins this match then Como will collect enough points to get Como out of the relegation zone.

The match between Como and Monza ended with draw. Those clubs deserved this result. They played equally and i didn't see either of them more dominant in this game. They have same goal attempts, equal ball possessions. This result helped those clubs closer to Genoa and Verona, which aren't in the relegation zone.

I have expected this result considering the gap in the odds is not that big. It seems not many people are paying attention for the match between relegation clubs.

I was hoping Como to win the game, but still, nothing changed from their gameplay. Draw is fairest result.

Milan just wont their game versus Empoli for 3 nil.
If they manage to win the missing game they have against Bologna they will back near the top of the league
Not an easy task for them considering that the coach of Bologna knows everything about the Milan's players.

5 games or more in a row for Atalanta, Fiorentina and Lazio with wins.

Will a winning streak be broken tomorrow?

It's about time.

Roma can't beat Atalanta as they're not up to the strength that Atalanta has. Atalanta has lost three games this season but they're still in the top 2 position in the league, just behind Napoli with a point difference of 1 while Roma is at 13th position with just three wins. Atalanta has to win this game to keep the pressure of Napoli to lose so they can top the league and probably win it also. Atalanta has an upper hand as they have won more of this feature therefore it's not going to be a surprise when they also win this one they'll be playing soon. My prediction for this game is for Roma not to be able of scoring any goals while Atalanta scores 2 goals.

I agree, Roma got a little bit excited with Ranieri and they think they can win games, but in reality we are not going to see them do all that great, and Atalanta is a great team so Roma will have too much trouble with this, we can't really see them have a big change at the moment at all.

We need to arrange something that is changing for the long term, and because of that I believe Roma needs to focus on just not relegating which they won't and they are going to stay at the league, and maybe focus on what to do next season instead. Trying to do better this season won't work, even with Ranieri they are nowhere near Atalanta level, and they won't be able to get a win here, nor even a draw, Atalanta will get a win easily for sure.

Honestly nothing is impossible in football.    Like seeing Barcelona losing to Las Palmas home today. Who could have thought they would be that bad?

Of course I agree about Roma's condition. This is why I don't bet on their win from now on until they improve their game and results both. They are horrible in defense like I said before.

Ranieri is unlucky to start with really challenging games by the way. But anyways, he will need to take his time to see whether his system works out for Roma. I hope it does...

AC Milan this season haven't been as consistent as I thought they'll be but that doesn't take away the fact that they've been immensely impressive in games they decide to play at their best. Against Empoli today, the Rossoneri were in top form as they swept their visitors aside with a 3:0 scoreline.
Even if AC Milan wins their outstanding game against Bologna, I don't think they'll be able to finish in the top four because there are other better teams that are in serious contention to finish the season as winners of the league table or in the top four of the league table at the end of the season

As always, stay away from Ac Milan, if the premier league has City to screw you every time and Bundesliga Dortmund, then for series A its definitely Milan, they will not play a game right, and when you finally say it's an easy match but no way they are able to take it to the max, this happens, a clear uncontested no emotion whatsoever win.
It was so comfortable that Fonseca started to make strategic changes for the next matches 20 minutes before the game, triple change to remove to booked players, they are facing Atalanta on the 6th so good luck with that one!

[Pokapoka124]

I agree with you. I don't see any chance of Atalanta losing points in this match. Roma are in terrible form. They have lost their last three matches in a row. Roma have only won three matches this season. Roma are not even in the top 10 of the points table. Roma's defense is very weak.

On the other hand, Atalanta are in their best form at the moment. They are in second place in the points table. More importantly, Atalanta have scored 34 goals in 13 matches. I think we will see Atalanta at the top of the table in the next few weeks.

I don't think it will be easy for Roma to defeat Atalanta. To have any chance, Roma will have to make significant improvements, particularly in their defense and mental approach to the game, while also finding ways to capitalize on any opportunities they create in attack. If they fail to do any of this, it will be difficult for Roma to even secure a draw in the match.

And if Como wins this match then Como will collect enough points to get Como out of the relegation zone.

My concern is in Monza not getting relegated by the end of this season as they are currently on the red zone on the table and are not looking like they may be exiting it any soon, Como who is ahead of Monza did well in this game even if they ended up sharing points with monza but they had the most statistically, they dominated all through but weren't lucky enough to win. This is literally one of monza's poor performing season, hopefully they get better.

Honestly, AC Milan are not consistent this season, as many people were expecting before the season started. So, even in today’s match against Empoli, I was not expecting much from them in terms of performance to beat Empoli with three goals, especially considering Empoli's defensive style of play.

As for the top four, I can't really say what may happen later, as there are many matches still to play. However, they are trying and playing better recently. So, I feel it’s possible for AC Milan to still make it into the top four if they can maintain their current form.

In the last few matches, AC Milan’s results have been better, both in Serie A and the Champions League. Over the past six matches, they have not lost any, only drawing twice, which I wouldn’t say are bad results.

Winning the match against Empoli today will make AC Milan to be  more motivated to play against Bologna and a win against Bologna will push them up and if they keep increasing their points they may have more chances of finishing among the first 5 team in the league table. Playing Empoli today AC Milan dominated the game as they should and left no stone unturned as they made sure the away team has no goal attempt till the final whistle which is how a big team is supposed to dominate a team that has no equal strength like they are,  I think the league is very open and mist of the better teams you talked about may lose form and AC Milan take the advantage to close the gap between them and the teams.

Although AC Milan is not yet very stable in their playing style, it is very natural because I think many players need time to adapt to the strategy implemented by Fonseca. 3 points are very meaningful for AC Milan because in the previous two matches they lost full points but today's match they were able to return to winning ways. AC Milan is still stuck in 7th place for the time being because they are still a few points behind the team above their ranking.

Morata brought victory to the team again, of course that was a good performance he did in today's match. I think they must be able to maintain their good performance by improving the quality of their game in the upcoming matches, because the competition to win the top 4 positions is very tight this season. Tomorrow there are many more exciting matches, especially the Fiorentina vs Inter Milan match, because these two teams are equally strong and their performance so far has been very good. I think Inter Milan will have difficulty stealing points at Fiorentina's home.

Yes, Roma looks like trash, on average 1 point per 1 game is the pace of the prodigals which dream of avoiding relegation.
In fact, it is unclear why bookmakers are so generous in their assessment of the odds for Atalanta to win - if you look at it on paper, Atalanta has no less than a 50% chance of winning. All the statistics say so. Is the Ranieri factor really that strong? Either the bookmakers know something or the money flow is like that, although who in their right mind would bet on Roma after Mourinho left?

[TelolettOm]

Winning the match against Empoli today will make AC Milan to be  more motivated to play against Bologna and a win against Bologna will push them up and if they keep increasing their points they may have more chances of finishing among the first 5 team in the league table.

And it turns out, Bologna is also like that, managed to secure 3 full points and with the same score as AC Milan, which was able to win 3-0 from his opponent, Venezia. This time, both AC Milan and Bologna can optimize their opportunity to win the match and collect 3 points. because anyway, the next matches will be very difficult for them, AC Milan vs Atalanta and Juventus vs Bologna. Both will have strong opponents, and as a result, it will be quite difficult.

And here, Dan Donye became man of the match for Bologna. c

This match is very difficult for Roma because they will face a team that is very productive this season, Napoli who performed well under Conte guidance were unable to withstand the attacks launched by Atalanta players. Atalanta performance improvement this season is very significant, they have achieved 7 consecutive wins in Serie A and are also unbeaten in the UCL. Roma must focus more on the defensive area to prevent Atalanta players from breaking into their defensive area, they must also play disciplined and prevent the slightest mistake because Atalanta can punish them at any time.

The point is that all AS Roma supporters must accept their favorite club like this, in some big clubs are improving their quality but not with AS Roma, instead they seem to have lost their way and do not find the confidence to win in every match in the past few weeks bad results are always received by AS Roma, 3 weeks in a row suffered defeat while the players who were brought in and the players who are currently there are quite promising, but none of the star players they have or the players who have just been brought in have no impact whatsoever and it is useless for them to change coaches if there is no good tactical development to improve AS Roma's performance this season.

Roma have not adapted to the changes they have just made but Roma's schedule is quite tight with having to play against strong teams, this is what makes Claudio Ranieri early job quite difficult.
Facing Atalanta will indeed be quite difficult for Roma because Atalanta's performance is very good this season but Roma also still has a chance to win the match because they are slightly advantaged because they are playing at home.
Atalanta and Roma are two top Serie A teams so no one can be underestimated here and I think this will be a pretty fierce match.
