Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Humblevirus]

I congratulate AC Milan for winning the Italian Super Cup it was a great match and I didn't expect Milan to make a great comeback in stoppage time to create victory the last goal from Abaraham made AC Milan take home the trophy I think Milan's victory was quite surprising, because I think many people prefer Inter Milan to win this title based on their performance so far.

AC Milan really surprised me in their two recent games. When they played against Juventus, I was not that surprised because I knew Juventus was not in good form; in fact, I had seen both Juventus and AC Milan at the same level of performance, so I believed anyone could win the game. So even when AC Milan did come back against Juventus, I just saw it as a normal thing, but in this their final match against Inter Milan, I was not expecting them to win that game because I believed Inter Milan was in better form than AC Milan, but surprisingly AC Milan did something surprising and won the game. AC Milan really performed more than my expectations, and I wish they could continue with this form in other competitions. Congratulations to AC Milan for this achievement!

AC Milan has won a tournament that supposedly is not on the top of the list of all the best clubs in Italy. Frankly, this should be considered when you check the competitions that all these teams are playing for and it is no different in the Premier League. There is the League Cup and there is the FA Cup and it is well known that the FA Cup is far more important to all teams than any other national cup except for the Premier League itself.

AC Milan has won this game, but how much does it mean when they fall behind in the Serie A competition and fail in Coppa Italia? Nobody will be talking about the title that they just have won and I think that should be taken into account here.

I get everyone who says that we can't really talk about the coach from a single game, and you are right about that but so far he has looked great and that means we also can't say anything bad about him neither, he is looking great so far.

I believe Concecao (not sure if this is how you write it) will do great and that will be the most important part, if we can make this work then it is going to be fine and we are not going to really have any issues at all. I get that we are not going to see this become a huge issue, but that doesn't mean that we are going to see him suddenly start being bad. If nothing else, they will be better than how they have been, this doesn't mean they will suddenly win 100% rate and become champions, nobody said that was the case, we are just saying that he is going to make it better than the first half, and that's quite possible to judge from just few games because we have seen how they have played and even the mentality of the team has changed so far and that's why it is very important.

[Leviathan.007]

Honestly, I didn’t expect Milan to win in a comeback like this in both semi-finals and finals and also, basically Milan had a new coach for both matches. But yeah, Sergio Conceicao really made a great start by getting Milan the SuperCoppa trophy and even, Sergio Conceicao managed to get Milan to beat Juventus in the semi-finals and then beat Inter in the final and both wins happened in the same way.

I mean, when they were 1-0 down against Juventus and 2-0 against Inter, but in the end Milan managed to win with a score of 1-2 and 2-3, that was definitely a very impressive result. With such an impressive result, it would definitely be a very fitting appreciation for Sergio Conceicao to succeed in his two big matches, congratulations to them of course.
By the way, I was also lucky because I didn’t pick Inter to win, because I was also still considering Sergio Conceicao who might succeed with  his big surprise, and that did happen.

Two comeback victories against two big teams has shown an impressive performance from Milan, I thought that the final would be a difficult match for them to win, given the strong rivalry and also inter dominance over them in serie A so far, but indeed the change of coach seems to has given them better motivation and mentality in the match, Milan were very inconsistent when Fonsesca was in coaching and their poor mentality made it very difficult for them to win a crucial games, but it's different from what we've seen in the last two games where they've shown an incredible never give up attitude in my opinion.

To be honest I was not expecting to see Inter Milan lose this match because of the performance we saw from this team in the past in both Serie A and the Champions League but still, AC Milan had a perfect comeback as you just said and in the second half of the game they scored three goals to win this match. While until the start of the second half, I was expecting to see Inter Milan score even more goals in this match.
Don't forget Inter Milan had perfect forwards and this made me think Inter Milan is going to have much stronger attacking but AC Milan surprised us in this match however since Inter Milan had more control in this match I think AC Milan was just lucky otherwise they could haven't won this match against a team like Inter Milan.

I think a lot of gamblers lost their money in this match. Inter Milan team was in great form. So in this match against AC Milan we considered Inter Milan team as favorite. But Inter Milan lost the match by 3-2.

Inter Milan scored a goal in the last minute of the first half. And just 2 minutes into the second half Taremi's goal gave them a 2-0 lead. Even though they were leading 2-0, I still don't believe that Inter Milan will lose this match. AC Milan performed great in this match, there is no doubt about it. AC Milan deserves the Super Coppa title.

Many people did not predict AC Milan to win the match so many gamblers might lose money on any bet. Inter Milan was favored to win the match because statistically they performed much better, but the reality was different and Inter Milan had to accept defeat after leading by two goals in the first half. AC Milan made a very extraordinary comeback in the match so they managed to get their first trophy this season with an unstable team condition. This defeat was also very painful for Inter Milan because previously they were two goals ahead which should have made them more comfortable to maintain their victory until the end of the match, but they made a mistake that allowed AC Milan to make a comeback.

[Gallar]

Apart from the final match between Inter Milan and AC Milan which is currently being widely discussed, yesterday Roma was able to beat Lazio without us expecting it. I don't know what happened to Lazio, because Lazio usually performs brilliantly in every match, especially against teams in the middle of the Serie A standings. However, in the match against Roma yesterday, Lazio seemed to have lost their spearhead. The reason is that in that match Lazio was unable to score a single goal against Roma. Even though in this match Lazio created many opportunities. So Lazio should have been able to score lots of goals in this match, but it turns out Lazio couldn't take advantage of the opportunities that existed well. That's why in this match Lazio lost to Roma with a score of 2-0. So with this defeat, Lazio's position in Serie A is getting closer to Juventus, and has the potential to be shifted if Lazio loses in the next match. Because currently Juventus is in 5th position in Serie A and only has a difference of 3 points with Lazio. Therefore, Lazio must be really careful now, and must make their team get more points in the upcoming match.

If you look at the results of this match, it seems that Lazio is currently experiencing a significant decline in performance. Because as you said, Lazio this season is a pretty great team in Serie A, so it would be unnatural if Lazio lost to Roma in this match. Because in the last few matches, Lazio has been able to beat the teams at the bottom of the Serie A standings. In fact, it's not just the teams at the bottom of the standings that Lazio can beat. But even the big teams at the top of the Serie A standings, such as Napoli, were able to be beaten by Lazio. So it is clear that currently Lazio is experiencing a significant decline in performance. Apart from that, talking about Lazio's ranking in Serie A, it is true that currently Juventus is getting closer to its position. And most likely in the upcoming match Juventus can be sure of being able to win the match and take home the full 3 points. Because in the coming week Juventus will face Torino, so it is very likely that Juventus can win easily in that match.

But fortunately Lazio also has an easy opponent in the coming week, and that opponent is Como. I think Como is not a difficult opponent for Lazio. Because if we look at the current ranking differences, it is clear that Como is no match for Lazio. Because currently Como is ranked 16th while Lazio is currently ranked 4th in Serie A. So for the coming week, it is very likely that Lazio will be able to maintain its position in 4th place in Serie A.

AC Milan has won this game, but how much does it mean when they fall behind in the Serie A competition and fail in Coppa Italia? Nobody will be talking about the title that they just have won and I think that should be taken into account here.

Title that AC Milan has just win in my opinion cannot be an impressive benchmark, anyone can win it even team that is not so strong playing in Serie-A can win the competition, congratulations to AC Milan but it would be much more proud to win the Scudetto.
Is this worth continuing to talk about, of course not because the competition is over and there is Serie-A or Coppa Italia which will be played again in the near future, anyone would be more interested in the Serie-A competition.

While I am sure Milan and Inter fans have a lot more to say about the game, as a foreign person with none of them being closer to me I have to say it was great football without a doubt. You do not see these type of games all that much, you do end up having fun on some games, but having 2-0 to 2-3 comebacks on a final game level of fun doesn't really happen that commonly, not only the game itself was a lot better but also we have seen it happen during a finals game and that's why it's such an important one.

I believe that we are seeing Milan getting much better as well which is a great situation and we have seen Inter be great so far this season and that's a great thing as well. This is why I believe we need to consider how entertainment value of the game was great.

Everyone is currently just surprised by the positive results that AC Milan got after this club changed coaches. And it seems that many people didn't have such high hopes for the current AC Milan coach at first. But it turns out that Sérgio Conceição is able to provide very good results for this club. Getting two consecutive wins after he came to this club will really make people start to have high hopes for Sérgio Conceição. And actually I personally probably wouldn't make a judgment too early. Because even though his debut was successful. But we don't know about the club's third match with its new coach. But yeah, with their current performance they shouldn't suddenly turn into a bad team again.

The Torino vs Juventus match will probably be the most interesting. But I think I already have my favorite team for the match. and yes of course Juventus will be my favorite. I think Torino's recent performance is more difficult to predict. They also haven't won again in the last 3 matches they have played. And even Torino lost to Bologna, and was held to a draw by Udinese and Parma. So against Juventus I think it will be a tough job for this team.

But right now I personally am also very interested in the Lazio vs Como match. Well this should be an easy match for Lazio. But I think that Como is a team full of surprises and it could be that in this match Lazio will have to be willing to share the points. Because Como in the last 3 matches has shown quite good results. That is, they won 2 times and only lost 1 time. Como even managed to beat Roma. Even though that might be because Roma wasn't as great as last season, it's still a good achievement that should make this team take into account its strength.

Everyone believes Lazio to win the game against Como, but we all know how stubborn Como can be in their games, and they usually make it difficult for their opponents to score. I'll go with the home team to win, but I don't expect many goals; this game might end with a score of 1-0. On the other hand, AC Milan looks to be returning to winning ways after choosing Conceicao as manager, so it is clear that Milan will easily defeat Cagliari, which is fighting to avoid the relegation zone.

However, many would consider Juventus to be the favorite to defeat Torino, and despite their previous drop, Juventus failed to win their last home game against Fiorentina. The bookmakers give Juventus @1.88 odds to win and the home team @4.97, it is a high chance for the away team. I believe the safest option is to bet on Juventus to win or draw. Atalanta should be able to get over Udinese if they want to stay in the title race this season because they dropped to second place after the draw with Lazio.

It is true that the title can be won by anyone, but this is a trophy that they managed to win quite well by turning things around and also the Super Cup they had not won for a long time but this time with two big games against Juventus and also the Milan derby it was amazing they managed to overcome the obstacles well with their new coach who managed to bring them two wins in a row, it must be admitted that Milan managed to win this big game after several games against Inter without a win but this is a starting point I think in their development with Conseicao.
With a very satisfying result and their first trophy at the beginning of this year I think they will compete again to show their spectacular action under the guidance of the new coach which this result can be a big motivation for them to continue winning after winning in the next matches, I think it is natural for us Milan fans to celebrate this especially after winning this Milan derby, I think Milan will return to the top 4 of Serie A if they make this victory an important motivation for them to continue winning, although this trophy is not a big thing but if we examine Milan looks back with high intensity on the field especially if we look at the coach he is quite good so I am sure that he will lift Milan back into something extraordinary in Serie A.

AC Milan. We can talk about it.
It's still too early to judge a coach at his new club, but Sérgio Conceição has shown that he will be able to turn AC Milan back into a candidate. champion, let's see in the next match whether AC Milan will be consistent in collecting full points.

[tusandii]

I congratulate AC Milan for winning the Italian Super Cup it was a great match and I didn't expect Milan to make a great comeback in stoppage time to create victory the last goal from Abaraham made AC Milan take home the trophy I think Milan's victory was quite surprising, because I think many people prefer Inter Milan to win this title based on their performance so far.

This is a big surprise that happened, AC Milan with its new coach can immediately win the Italian Super Cup title and even beat Inter Milan in the final match quite impressively.
I did not expect AC Milan to be able to turn things around after being 2 goals behind in the first half and I thought what happened in the semifinal match against Juventus would not happen again but I was wrong, AC Milan is really extraordinary, and I think this is inseparable from the mentality instilled by their new coach.
The decision of AC Milan management to change coaches has now been proven to be the right decision.

Yes, this new coach change creates a new spirit for AC Milan so that Milan's performance is much better than before. I also did not expect Milan to beat Inter Milan because we know Inter Milan is very strong this season and very difficult to beat, but it turns out that Milan's victory over Juventus is not luck but thanks to Sérgio Conceição's expertise in creating strategies. By getting this title, they will be more confident in facing other domestic matches and improving their ranking which is currently in 8th place.

In Serie-A their performance is much worse in my opinion and even before the coach was fired they seemed to have difficulty finding their best form and that is proven by the points they have achieved so far in competing with several other strong teams. Sérgio Conceição is expected to restore the team's confidence and they can play better again to pursue the top five positions in the standings and this kind of transition period may be a little difficult for the new coach to blend in because it takes time to change everything.

For the problem of the champion, it may be difficult because now there are three very strong challenger teams in the top three positions and to pursue these three teams, AC Milan is required to be able to win all the remaining matches and that is even more unlikely because all three title contenders have played very well so far.

Multiple reports in Italy claim Roma have picked Inter’s Alessandro Antonello as their new CEO to replace Lina Souloukou.

Inter Corporate CEO Antonello will be the new Roma CEO, replacing Lina Souloukou, who resigned in September following Daniele De Rossi’s sacking.

Gazzetta and Sky Sport Italia claim that Roma will announce Antonello’s appointment once the 59-year-old formally ends his agreement with the Nerazzurri.

Antonello was spotted in Rome in recent weeks and has been working on Inter’s financial development in recent years, but also had a role in the new stadium plans.

Gazzetta reports that Roma owners know Antonello well because the Inter director is part of the ECA Board and has been working closely with Dan Friedkin, the ECA Vice President.

Roma have been considering several candidates in recent months, including Claudio Fenucci and Marzio Perrelli but ultimately the giallorossi picked antonello as their new CEO and an official announcement from the club is expected in the coming weeks.

Inter Corporate CEO Antonello will be the new Roma CEO, replacing Lina Souloukou, who resigned in September following Daniele De Rossi’s sacking.

I don't know about him but this news surprises me as Roma need about 4 months to appoint a new CEO after sacking Souloukou. It's quite a long time for them to appoint a new CEO, that is an important position in any club.

Gazzetta and Sky Sport Italia claim that Roma will announce Antonello’s appointment once the 59-year-old formally ends his agreement with the Nerazzurri.

Antonello was spotted in Rome in recent weeks and has been working on Inter’s financial development in recent years, but also had a role in the new stadium plans.

Gazzetta reports that Roma owners know Antonello well because the Inter director is part of the ECA Board and has been working closely with Dan Friedkin, the ECA Vice President.

Inter Milan built up their squad very good recent years and this man can bring his successful experience and great ideas to Roma, for helping them rebuild their squad and aim at similar success like Inter Milan in Serie A and Champions League.

They actually had to do a lot of work to convince Antonello to end his contract with Inter Milan and join them because leaving a successful club and joining a club in crisis is not an easy decision.

[hyudien]

Two matches against tough teams, two comebacks too and immediately lifting the trophy, great Conceciao. AC Milan's blessing when changing coaches became the Italian Super Cup champion, AC Milan's choice to change coaches finally paid off. If we talk about surprises of course. Because Inter is indeed strong while Milan is inconsistent and is in a coach transition period but that's how football always has surprises. Congratulations to AC Milan who have won the Italian Super Cup trophy and hopefully victory after victory will continue to be achieved.

In this match I thought the match was over when Inter was 2-0 up. Making a comeback when 2 goals behind is difficult but Milan did it very well. So I conclude that AC Milan actually needs someone with a champion mentality. A coach who has led his team to win the league, and is good at strategizing. Because Milan's mistake so far is choosing a coach who has no experience in winning the league.

Conceciao was initially a doubtful coach, but he silenced it all with extraordinary achievements. Conquering Inter and Juventus is not an easy thing for a new coach to do. However AC Milan is currently not so impressive in Serie A because it is now in 8th position it is quite difficult to secure a ticket to the UCL next season. Even so it is an important note that must be fixed, the Supercoppa trophy is considered unsatisfactory if Milan is absent from the Champions League.

It's still too early to judge a coach at his new club, but Sérgio Conceição has shown that he will be able to turn AC Milan back into a candidate. champion, let's see in the next match whether AC Milan will be consistent in collecting full points.

A new coach who can change the team atmosphere for the better will always be liked by the team management and also by the AC Milan players themselves. Now AC Milan really needs a coach like that in order to improve its position in the Serie-A standings and that has also been proven through the Super Cup event this season. I also hope that Milan can be better in the rest of this season because previously Milan was left behind due to the less than satisfactory potential of its old coach.
