Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Ruttoshi]

Conte won today an hard game against Fiorentina.
These are 3 good points.

They are now back again near Inter in the lead with only 1 point difference.
They can't make any mistake now until the end of the season.

The big game of the day will start in few hours.

In the end, Conte managed to end Napoli bad trend, which in the last five matches has never won a single match. Meanwhile, Fiorentina, continues to experience a decline in performance and is getting further away from the European zone. Napoli can hope more to return to the top of the standings while waiting for Inter Milan to slip, by only focusing fully on domestic competitions.

I think the Juventus versus Atalanta match will end in a draw, both teams seem to have an equal chance of winning. Atalanta is a tough test for Juventus consistency, a very crucial match in an effort to maintain a position in the top four of the standings.

Half an hour has passed in the Atalanta Juventus match and there has been no goal, the course of the match seems to end together for now, both teams are playing cautiously. Napoli continues to claim the championship, they have written three points today. Especially Lukaku and McTominay being in form gives the team hope for future matches. They are only one point behind Inter and the first three teams are very close in the rankings.

Retegui scored from the penalty and Juventus is now 1-0 down. Atalanta has always been a difficult team. I expected them to make things difficult for Juventus before the match. The first half of the match is almost over and Juventus must score an equalizer before the first half. If they want to play a better match in the second half, they should equalize, but if they can't, they should show extra performance in the second half and win against Atalanta. It will be a critical match for both teams.

Atlanta is currently leading away from home as they scored early in turin to lead by 0:1 this result is a good one for Atlanta because a win for Atlanta is going help them close in on the points game that exists between them and the top team, let see how the game will be because it is too early in the game to be celebrating because Juventus can still come back to win this match.


Juventus has to come back into the second half and and try and get the needed win which will be helpful to their their  title ambitions if they really plan of winning the league , this game is still open because one goal is something that is not too sure when it comes to winning of any game, juventus has really improved in their performance

It might be very difficult for Juventus to equalize the goal because Atalanta has double their goal on the second minutes of the second half by De Roon. Juventus is not in their best performance in this match because they are finding it difficult to create a good chance for ac goal.

Their first chance came on the 49th minutes to show how difficult the match is for them. Atalanta is looking very strong in this match and they keep on creating incredible chances and stopping Juventus from passing through their defense.

Atalanta have destroyed Juventus defense with their one-two pass to scored the third goal by Zappacosta on the 67th minutes. It is 3-0 against the host.

This is what Conte should do from the start if indeed they still want the trophy this season to be in their hands, it's just that there are some things that seem a little difficult for Conte to do which makes the last few matches actually backfire for them.

With 3 points in hand, they still managed to stick to Inter in terms of the current Scudetto race and that clearly gives new hope that the competition will continue until the end of the season.

In the other match now Juventus are likely to end their 5-game winning streak this week with 60 minutes on the clock and they are already 2 goals down. Seeing the weakness of their defense I think this is difficult because even Atalanta's counterattacks are very good for this time and there could be additional goals again for Atalanta if you see Juventus' poor attacking quality is maximized by Atalanta's fast counterattacks in this match.

[MK-74]

Napoli beat Fiorentina 2-1 at home and maintained their place in the league.

Atalanta beat Juventus 4-0 away. Juventus was defeated in this match.

There was no change in the top 3 rankings in the league and the championship race continues with excitement.

I think the Juventus versus Atalanta match will end in a draw, both teams seem to have an equal chance of winning. Atalanta is a tough test for Juventus consistency, a very crucial match in an effort to maintain a position in the top four of the standings.

The matches between Juventus and Atalanta used to end with a draw. I have the feeling that what will happen soon

But it seems that this match is not according to what you expect where Atalanta actually excels very impressively in the 90 minutes they play.
Juventus tried to do their job well where they applied good ball possession from the start but Atalanta knew the momentum and were smart in using it so that when Juventus' focus continued to be on ball possession then Atalanta would wait and look for space in the counter-attack that was carried out.

4 goals for Juventus are clearly very big and indeed this is one of Juventus' biggest defeats this season which made their dominance in the last few weeks have to be restarted from the beginning considering that this week's match did not go well for them.
Motta has to think harder now how to make ball possession which should be an advantage accompanied by good finishing for the opportunities they have and until now Juventus still can't do that.

3 points are very meaningful for Napoli in today's match because they managed to stick to Inter Milan as the leader of the standings. For me, Napoli's performance lately has been quite unstable because they lost many points which made them waste many opportunities to lead the standings. Currently, Inter Milan and Napoli are competing closely at the top of the standings, they are competing in the fight for the scudetto this season.

Napoli must be able to continue winning in the next matches because this season has entered a crucial stage to continue to appear consistently in every victory. I think with a fairly close point difference, of course it indicates that the competition this season will be quite tight until the end of this season. For now, Inter Milan is still very much favored, but they also have to be careful not to lose points during the important matches they playing.

Napoli beat Fiorentina 2-1 at home and maintained their place in the league.
Atalanta beat Juventus 4-0 away. Juventus was defeated in this match.
There was no change in the top 3 rankings in the league and the championship race continues with excitement.

I'm not surprised that Napoli can beat Fiorentina, but honestly I'm shocked to know Atalanta destroyed Juventus with 4 goals. It was a home match for Juventus and they looked like perform better in the last few matches. How can they play very badly at home? I didn't see it was a home match for Juventus, it was like Atalanta played at their home. In the match, Atalanta very dominated the match, they made many shot attempts. I'm starting to doubt Motta strategy, why he often put some good players in the bench? Perin, Vlahovic, and Koopmeiners were always in the bench in the last few matches. 

Yep, there is no change in the top 3 of Serie A standing. It seems those 3 teams will stay in the top 3 until the end of the season. The point gap with Juventus and Lazio become larger.

[coinlocket$]

Juventus got destroyed once again, this time at home vs Atalanta.
They managed to lose 4-0.

If they had a dream to rejoin the race of scudetto they already lost it again.
Is better if they look behind now and not ahead of them.

Lazio can overtake them tomorrow.

[EL MOHA]

I see this game as a very strong competition between the two because both are standing at 3rd and 4th on the league table. More also Juventus recently had a good record at home while Atlanta as well isn't bad playing away from home. All I expect from this game is a draw but this come out to be an easy win for Atlanta as they were able to make a clean sheet with Juventus scoring 4-0 at Allianz Stadium.

This game has once again proven or shown the weakness of Juventus yet again, Juventus actually did have most of the ball in  the game but to what effect. They didn’t provide any threat to Atlanta who used wisely most of the opportunities they were able to carve out from the game. Juventus offensively have been poor this season, they haven’t been scoring like way they actually have been getting opportunities, because of a recognized striker. Now they are on the verge of droping off the top g four should Lazio win their game in hand.
Atlanta once again also have shown that they aren’t letting this league go yet and now are within three points off inter Milan at the top, this is really interesting considering the fact that we hardly have a three horse race in the league it is usually a two club competition or a one club solo ride to the end

Napoli beat Fiorentina 2-1 at home and maintained their place in the league.

Atalanta beat Juventus 4-0 away. Juventus was defeated in this match.

There was no change in the top 3 rankings in the league and the championship race continues with excitement.

Napoli secured an important victory at home against Fiorentina; after drew the first leg 2-2 at Fiorentina's home field, Napoli was able to turn things around in the second leg to win the match. Napoli had lost form; they had a poor record in their previous five league games, draw four and losing one against Como. I thought the title battle was already out of their hands this season, but this win matters for them; they are currently one point behind Inter Milan, the table leaders.

However, this is why I said that football usually has a surprise result: Atalanta defeated Juventus 4-0 away, how did they do it at Juventus home ground? The previous time Atalanta hosted Juventus, the game was a draw; but Atalanta won by four goals away. The most shocking part is that it was the same Atalanta that failed to defeat Venezia, a team trying to escape the relegation zone.

[Slow death]

Atalanta beat Juventus 4-0 away. Juventus was defeated in this match.

 

It was very humiliating. As a Juventus fan, I was hoping for a victory, because at least I would still have hope of seeing Juventus as champions or in second place. It would still be a small hope. But they lost in a very humiliating way.

Honestly, the Juventus board should start thinking about hiring a coach with the ambition of winning Serie A and not hiring coaches who only dream of winning a place in the European Champions League.

Their second loss of the season and it was at home to another title contenders. Honestly, even I thought that Juventus would bounce back in the second half since they couldn't quite bury their chances in the first half but OMG, it seemed that Atalanta were not done with them yet.
Atalanta drew to Venezia in their last game so I felt that there won't be much goals tonight considering they were playing against a team who enjoyed sharing the spoils if things didn't go their way but the same fire with which Gasperini's men brought in the first half, was the same one they started the second half with. Good game for Atalanta and the fact that Ademola Lookman was on target for the visitors and the last scorer made it all the more better.

[Sexylizzy2813]

Are we going to say Juventus are one of the big teams in the Serie A? From what I saw tonight I don't know where to place Juventus at this moment, 28 games played just 2 lost games and they are 4th on the log with 50pt but if Lazio get a win against Udinese Juventus are dropping from that position, to me these guys should be occupying 1st or 2nd with those 2 lost games and they would have gathered enough points to keep them in that position but 13 draws?  That's crazy for a team with so much talented players that have hope of winning the title. These guys are not serious about the title race, with these players they have Juventus should at least be involved in the champions league but they don't look like a competitive team, they are just like Arsenal and Dortmund.
The way and manner Atalanta handled tonight's game was impressive, they made sure that Juventus could not get the ball to their attacker, shut down the midfield of the Old Ladies and dominated every half of the game, another issue I have about Atalanta is that they can't keep a good record of 5 games with a win in all 5, I can't say they are inconsistent but their performance ever since they were knocked out of the champions league has not been up to speed like we expected, I just hope after this impressive winning that they can continue getting all the 3pt in each of their encounter against any team.

In this match, Juventus could not create any chances to attack, although they attacked but the attacks were ordinary attacks. The opposing team Atalanta proved that they are aggressive from the start. Although Atalanta was able to score a goal before half-time, Juventus should have been more aggressive in this match but they could not succeed in attacking. The opposing team always put them under pressure.
 Their positions in the points table are very close, Atalanta had 19 attacks in the whole match and Juventus had only 9 attacks. This is where the biggest difference can be seen, but this was the most difficult match for Juventus this season.

Even if we look from a match point of view after 3 goals nested in Juventus actually in 60 minutes of running time there was not even 1 on target that they got in this match which makes the situation feel much worse than thought because it is really quite disappointing for the performance of a big club.

Although it cannot be denied that from the beginning their performance was not too good in terms of productivity even though in a few weeks they could always get 3 points in the continuation of Serie A, but of course we are aware that Juventus' problems still remain the same where their players sometimes find it very difficult to convert money opportunities into goals.

With this result, Juventus failed to get closer to Atalanta and it is even possible that their position will also be overtaken by Lazio, who currently still haven't played their week.

[TelolettOm]

It was very humiliating. As a Juventus fan, I was hoping for a victory, because at least I would still have hope of seeing Juventus as champions or in second place. It would still be a small hope. But they lost in a very humiliating way.

Indeed, it's humiliating.
How could Juventus let them be slaughtered by Atalanta in their own home, even without any resistance?
0 - 4
That was a very annoying core for Juventus, but what can you do, they deserved it because Juventus did not play well, on the other hand, Atalanta was very serious about doing it.

3 goals in the second half made Juventus even more desperate. Even Atalanta also dominated the match while the time was still going on. Well, Juventus finally had to worry more because their position could be taken over by Lazio.

And this defeat made history, becoming the first time Juventus humiliated their opponent 0 - 4 at home.

Seeing Juventus loosing like this didn't surprise me that much,  reason been that they haven't been exceptional in their recent games and so expecting they are going to do any better actually sounds like false hopes, they have not have that consistency enough to build trust and confidence in them and then they are playing against a team considered one of the top teams in their league recently so I didn't expect any less only that I was thinking the goal difference wouldn't be this large but Juventus proved me wrong and allowed a land slide victory against them which has cost them three points and their opportunity to rank up on the table. Congratulations to Atalanta.

They have, but it was little chance. Juventus only have 2 shots on target from total 9 shots during the match. It was quite different with Atalanta which has 9 shots on target and they could make total 19 shots. Instead of facing Atalanta's game with a tight strategy, Juventus played like a small team. Honestly, Juventus played unexpectedly, they were bad in all lines.

If you look at their stats, they won quite many matches before this match. In February, they won all Serie A matches, they even beat Inter Milan (matchday 25). If we consider this, it is totally surprised to see their defeat against Atalanta with 4 goals. Juventus even failed to score 1 goal.

They have won 13 matches in total, all top 8 teams have won at least that, the next best team with 12 won matches is Milan, so their numbers are nowhere that exceptional, the only thing that Juventus managed to do is not to lose that often as they are still at only 2 losses.
But no, their track record is nothing impressive, and it was for sure just a waiting game, their style of play, which can be called more like an anti-game of blocking their adversary, and hopefully scoring one or two goals enough for a victory by chance would collapse against team with a complete different strategy. Normally it was meant to be Atalanta, but even so, even the victory is surprising, let alone the score.

8 games left and this turns into a 3-way battle for the title and 3 3-way battle for the 4th spot.

Napoli managed to win at home against Fiorentina.Napoli, who had more than enough clear positions in the match, defeated their opponent 2-1 and managed to get an important 3 points.Napoli, who is 1 point behind Inter, needs to avoid losing points from now on.Fiorentina is going through a bad period.They need to recover as soon as possible if they want to finish in the top 6 of the league.
Juventus suffered a heavy defeat at home to Atalanta.Juventus, who saw exactly 4 goals in their goal, faced such a defeat after a long time.It was inconceivable for Juventus to play so badly when they did not have such a result even in the last matches they played between them.If they had won, the points difference would have been equalized, but unfortunately they could not take this chance.Atalanta increased the difference to 6 with this win.

Conte won today an hard game against Fiorentina.
These are 3 good points.

They are now back again near Inter in the lead with only 1 point difference.
They can't make any mistake now until the end of the season.

The big game of the day will start in few hours.

In the end, Conte managed to end Napoli bad trend, which in the last five matches has never won a single match. Meanwhile, Fiorentina, continues to experience a decline in performance and is getting further away from the European zone. Napoli can hope more to return to the top of the standings while waiting for Inter Milan to slip, by only focusing fully on domestic competitions.

I think the Juventus versus Atalanta match will end in a draw, both teams seem to have an equal chance of winning. Atalanta is a tough test for Juventus consistency, a very crucial match in an effort to maintain a position in the top four of the standings.

Well things didn't go quite well for Juventus in that match, as it was a bad day in the office for them. Atalanta dealt with them heavily. 0:4 thumping by the visitors, this is one of the worst result Juventus have recovered in recent times. I never expected that Atalanta would be able to pull this kind of result against a Juventus side who have been nothing but solid defensively this season. How Atalanta managed to score 4 goals against them is really a big surprise to me. Thiago Motta ought to be doing better than this. Result like this don't speak good about his chances of retaining his position as the coach of Juventus next season. This result will further fuel the speculation of the club management replacing him in the summer with Xavi Hernandez the former Barcelona coach.
