Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Litzki1990]

Managers will certainly use the momentum of the International break to evaluate their respective team weaknesses, while hoping that their players do not suffer injuries when returning from the National Team. We realize that the competition will be more competitive towards the end of the season, not only the competition for the Scudetto, but also the competition to get tickets to European competitions. Changes in the standings will definitely occur, considering that there are still 9 matches left. I think AS Roma is a team that has the potential to change the competition map, because they continue to perform consistently at this time.

International break is good time for managers to look at their team weaknesses and make changes but they also worry that their players might get hurt while playing for their countries. As season nears its end competition will get tougher with teams fighting for top prize and spots in European tournaments. With nine games left standings will likely change a lot. One team that could surprise everyone is AS Roma as they have been playing well lately and might use that momentum to challenge top teams and change season outcome. So let's see what will happen?

Due to the international break, managers and coaching staffs of each team get good time to work better with their teams. In the free time they have got, they will work on their weaknesses and how to perform better in the future. Also, in this free time, every manager can meet with the other coaching staff of the team and work more on the positions of the different players. In the Italian league, Napoli's team management and Inter Milan's team management will work more during this break because these two teams are now very close, so they may have plans on how one team can surpass the other. However, since Inter Milan has returned to good performance, it may be difficult for any team to overtake Inter Milan.

It's possible that someone needs to adapt first before they really understand, not only for players, this also applies to managers. We can see an example from Jurgen Klopp when he managed Liverpool. Add in new variables like new signings, it could change the direction of the team later on. So, do I believe that? OFC.

BTW, Serie A still has quite a lot of matches to play, meanwhile the top 3 teams in the standings have points that are not much different, in your opinion, which team will win Serie A this season?

Yeah Klopp is a good example about this. It took him a couple of years to carry Liverpool to the top in the Premier League.

Like I said, maybe Motta is actually the right choice but people need to be patient until seeing him reshape the squad this summer. We never know considering how he brought Bologna to this point. 

About my opinion on the title winner, I'm all in for Inter.    Neither Napoli nor Atalanta manage to impress me recently.

[Chilwell]

Kudos to their new coach who was able to fix the club after several coaches gave it a try. I wouldn't believe if anyone told me initially that, weak Roma who was on a losing streak will finally be able to be among the contenders for the 4th position. I am really happy that they are back to their feet with the right momentum.

Roma who are currently only four points behind Bologna who are in 4th place could be a threat to several other teams especially those who are not too far from Roma. I am also quite happy to see the Roma team back to their best performance this season even though they are relying on existing players and a new coach who must understand the team completely this season. And if that can really be realized by Roma this season by being able to be in the top 4, it is a very amazing achievement for them together with their new coach.

At the beginning of the season I Began to lose confidence on Roma but with their recent performance I'm beginning to have confidence in them because seeing them in this position was a big surprise for me. The New coach has really changed in the club even though with the old players, I think what really matters is to win matches and if that is achieved by old players so be it. So far they can deliver the tax on their head, I will be very happy to see them stronger next season. I have confidence in them to finish on the top four due to their consistency. I will be happy to see them there at the end of the season.

If Roma can maintain their current good performance, they definitely have a chance to finish this season in the top 4. Juventus' performance is also declining after trying not to lose by getting more draws from the beginning of the season. Likewise, Lazio whose performance is starting to become unstable will be an opportunity for Roma to move up. Moreover, in the next few matches they will face Juventus and Lazio, it will be a good competition in the standings. Roma is trying to rise, hopefully, they can maintain their performance.

Roma's performance at the beginning of the season was very weak. But at the moment I can't see a more consistent team than Roma in Serie A. The performance of every team at the top of the points table is now irregular. On the other hand, Roma has been able to continue their winning streak. Roma is playing well in every match.

If Roma can perform well in the upcoming matches, then Roma still has a chance to occupy the fourth place in the table. Roma is only 4 points behind Bologna, who is in the fourth place in the table. I don't think it's a big gap.

[beerlover]

Como is one of the promoted teams that has performed much better than the other two teams and perhaps what is interesting about Como is how Fabregas can provide much better results by relying on existing strengths. This is almost difficult to achieve by other promoted teams because they usually find it much more difficult to survive in the Serie-A after successfully getting a promotion ticket.

This season what they need to do is survive in Serie-A and Fabregas must make every effort to maintain that opportunity. So that in the next season they can try to bring in some players needed to make the competition more interesting.

i don't follow Como football club and i cant give an opinion on this team. It's certainly not in the lower part of the table and therefore it will most likely save itself without any particular problem.
Then if i am not mistaken the ownership has really spent a lot of money for this team

The short story; the new ownership that took over the team, paid a good sum of money to make them promote to Serie A, and spent even more to keep them at Serie A, but they are looking for a way to just keep spending a certain amount and not much more. Which means, they can't spend enough to win a title, that is not going to happen, they are not some 100+ million a year rich oil whatever that we have seen with PSG or City, so this is a limited amount.

Fabregas managed to make some transfers to spend that money for players that could look decent. It's looking like COMO will be a decent part of Serie A for the upcoming period, and while they will continue to lose games, they will win enough to stay and that is all they care, as long as they are far away from relegation, they are happy.

The competition is getting fiercer, even AC Milan who have won their last 2 matches have started to enter the competition to finish in the top 4 in the Serie A standings this season and with so many teams competing for it, it makes the competition difficult to predict, especially since some teams cannot maintain consistency so that every week it is possible for a shift in position every week.

The poor results received by Napoli in their last 5 matches indicate that they seem to have given up on competing for the Scudetto title this season and I also think that Napoli still does not deserve to be champions, in their last 5 matches they have only been able to win 1 time, that is very bad for a top team that is competing for the title.

AC Milan needs 6 points to be able to match the team that occupies the top 4 position namely Bologna and the upcoming match AC Milan will face Napoli, it seems that the match will be difficult for AC Milan and they only have small chance to get 3 points in full because Napoli also really needs the winning to catch up with Inter Milan.
Will not be easy for AC Milan to finish in the top 4 at the end of the season, but anything can happen even though it seems impossible.

Although AC Milan is not so good and performing club this season, to climb to the 4th, or even 3rd position this season is still doable because it's a few points those immediate clubs ahead gaps each other. But do they have all it requires? Certainly not. AC Millan is not serious and that will spell doom. I don't know how it will possibly beat Napoli at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona when the club is even trying to be better and stop the too-many draw result.

I feel nothing is impossible since there are still quite some good number of matches to play. Milan is a big team, and title oriented. That's, they have the winning mentality. It's just that they couldn't get the right momentum for things to work out for them like previous seasons. If they can pick form and start winning matches, they can make it. However, their chance is very slim compared to the rest.

No doubt, Milan is a big team but what they are doing right now is shameful and unbecoming of a big team, so I will not praise the club so much. In short, I was only trying to motivate in my last post, it's difficult and they will not be able to play the Champions League next season. I can see that in their current feat and the team's fixtures, they will still meet tough games until the end of the season. Therefore, I predict fewer wins, more losses and a few draws for them. That will not be able to displace Roma and Lazio, let alone Juventus which looks more desperate to displace Bologna from the 4th position.

And if that can really be realized by Roma this season by being able to be in the top 4, it is a very amazing achievement for them together with their new coach.

Roma is the most consistent team at the moment, not only unbeaten in 13 consecutive matches, but more impressively, they have also managed to achieve 6 consecutive wins in their last 6 matches in Serie A.

In the next match they will face Lecce, so I think AS Roma will continue to add to their winning record, before they will face quite tough opponents, namely facing top teams such as Juventus, Lazio, Inter Milan, and Atalanta.

On the other hand, Roma has now been eliminated from the UEFA Europa League competition, where they had to lose to Atletic Billbao in the last 16 of the UEL. With AS Roma being eliminated from the competition, the ambition of the coach and team to be able to finish in the European zone will be even greater, so that at least for next season they can compete again in the UEL.

Roma is very doubtful to succeed in the 4th position of the standings this season, the 4th position is filled by Bologna who has 53 points, on the other hand we also need to think that Juventus may not be able to qualify for the 4th position, Bologna is also not easy to overcome and they are quite good this season.

AS Roma is very difficult to face Juventus, Juventus is quite strong even though we know that the problem with Juventus is their consistency but they cannot be underestimated because they are sometimes very strong.

Inter Milan has a great chance to continue their throne this season.

Roma look like a team that is much more mature than at the beginning of the season. Ever since experienced coach Claudio Ranieri took charge of Roma, Roma have been getting better. Now they have a very good opportunity. Roma can book their UCL ticket with successful results against Juventus and Lazio. These two games will be a big test for them. They need to win these two games if they don't want to be counting towards the end of the league.

Napoli are not in the best shape now, and it does not look like they are changing for the better, they continue to lose points in every match with any opponents. Inter came to the end of the season much better prepared, I doubt they will allow anyone to displace them, in fact, Napoli are closest to them and if they do not start winning, Inter will increase the difference, and Napoli will have to play Milan and Bologna in the next matches, so they can lose points again.

I personally don't think Napoli will win the Serie A title this season. Napoli were in very good form at the beginning of the season. But Napoli are in a very bad position at the moment. Especially in the last 7 matches we have seen Napoli's poor performance. Out of the 7 matches, Napoli only won against Fiorentina. Napoli drew in 5 matches. That is why Napoli lost the top spot in the table.

Napoli is 3 points behind Inter Milan. This is not a big gap. However, since Napoli's performance is very poor at the moment, this gap is likely to increase in the future. I think Inter Milan and Atalanta will continue to fight for the title until the end.

I agree. Napoli had a chance, but they missed that chance and now they can't get any better. They are on a bad run of form and they will continue to be bad for the near future.

The gap is still not that much larger, the gap is still only three points, so it may look like maybe they have a chance because of this, but the reality is they are not looking like they will win many games. If they keep on having these bad results, they won't get ahead and Inter will win the title. Since Kvara left, Napoli had some issues, I do not think it's about losing a left winger, it is about losing a leader in the team and that is what they lost, so I do not think they will be getting the title  because of losing a leader and the momentum as well.

They need to win these two games if they don't want to be counting towards the end of the league.

AS Roma headcoach, Claudio Ranieri is doing everything he can to nailed a good spot for Giallorossi this season. We know how struggling its been for the club since they missed out on their best players. AS Roma are 7th position on the Seria A table and this is no good sign for such elite team to be in currently. They had their peak moment but failed terribly to be consistent, now they would have to compete for the UCL zone where it's very important they reach this phase. The club have an ambition to feature in the UCL next season, they wouldn't do anything to jeopardize their chances, they have to pass the main test by defeating their top oppositions.

It seems that you are too optimistic about Ranieri, I personally think that Roma's performance this time is only slightly better than before, just look at how Roma lost to Bilbao in the Europa League group stage after losing on aggregate, to enter the top 4 this season I am not sure, because Roma's next opponents are Juve, Inter, Lazio which I am sure they will have difficulty facing.

I am sure Juventus will be able to take back the top 4 position, so far Juventus has only suffered a few defeats (only 3 defeats since the start of the season)

Don't forget, Milan and Fiorentina could be Roma's biggest threats in their ambition to be in the top four. Milan and Fiorentina are only 1 and 2 points apart from Roma, which in fact makes Roma not safe in their current position. Roma may drop points in the next match, while Milan and Fiorentina improve their rankings, but the competition will continue.

However, I am brave enough to say that Serie A this season is really interesting. The competition between teams is very tight and the point difference between them is not too high. Especially for teams in the top 9, the points gap between the Europa League and Champions League zones is very close, as is the title competition between Inter, Napoli and Atalanta.

Roma's performance, which previously had problems that were difficult to solve, could slowly be sorted out and now they made it possible to reach a better position and it was not even impossible to be in the Champions League, although now there is still a gap with Bologna, which does occupy the 4th place for a while.

Currently, competition not only occurs in the race for the Scudetto but also competition in the Champions League and Europa League zones which makes of course this a good situation for Serie A because this competition becomes interesting with its tight competition.

Bologna in 4th place to Milan who are in 9th place currently only have a distance of 6 points so any club later who experiences problems in performance then they can be left behind. I actually expect Milan to return to their rightful position but their current form is not convincing enough for that.

[Adbitco]

Just by mere looking at the Serie A table, every team is a threat to the other. Napoli is a threat to Inter Milan, Atlanta is a threat to Napoli, Juventus is a threat to Bologna, Lazio is a threat to Juventus, Roma is a threat to Lazio, Fiorentina is a threat to Roma the list goes on till almost the team that's in the bottom position. At most for these team at the bottom, you can't lose twice consecutively and still remain I that position. It's even worse for the teams in the first half of the table, once any team loses, that team is being replaced immediately if the team them wins. It's really that crazy in the league this season and I really love the competitiveness that's in the league this season.

[Egii Nna]

At the beginning of the season I Began to lose confidence on Roma but with their recent performance I'm beginning to have confidence in them because seeing them in this position was a big surprise for me. The New coach has really changed in the club even though with the old players, I think what really matters is to win matches and if that is achieved by old players so be it. So far they can deliver the tax on their head, I will be very happy to see them stronger next season. I have confidence in them to finish on the top four due to their consistency. I will be happy to see them there at the end of the season.

If Roma can maintain their current good performance, they definitely have a chance to finish this season in the top 4. Juventus' performance is also declining after trying not to lose by getting more draws from the beginning of the season. Likewise, Lazio whose performance is starting to become unstable will be an opportunity for Roma to move up. Moreover, in the next few matches they will face Juventus and Lazio, it will be a good competition in the standings. Roma is trying to rise, hopefully, they can maintain their performance.

No offence, but I don’t usually have much hope for Roma's performance, as they might be playing a very good performance this week, but suddenly next week they will start playing rubbish. That is why I mostly judge them based on their weekly performance, which last week was a bit good, but for them to finish the season in the top 4 is not an easy task, and they will not only need to be consistent in performance but still need to increase their performance. Because their present performance will not be able to take them to the top 4 even though they are 4 points away from Bologna, which is the present 4th in the table, Roma will need to put in more effort and bring a better strategy.

AS Roma has been quite impressive lately with the series of wins they have achieved, and even those who were initially in the middle of the standings, slowly from week to week their position continues to rise and is now even in 7th position in the standings. And if AS Roma is able to maintain its consistency well to be able to win every match, it is not impossible that at the end of the season they can finish in 4th position, or at least they will finish in the European zone for the end of the season.

At the moment, no team in Serie A is as consistent as Roma. Especially the performance of almost every team in the top order is irregular. But from Roma we are seeing good performance in every match and winning. A few days ago, Roma was outside the top 10 of the points table. But now Roma is in seventh place in the points table. And the team is trying to qualify for the Champions League. If Roma can continue their current form until the end of the season, then there is a strong possibility of Roma being in the top four of the table.

[Slow death]

I did believe their success came from Motta.

In my case, from the first day I heard that the Juventus board had hired him, I didn't like that hiring. In my opinion, Juventus is a big team in a big crisis and they needed a great coach with a lot of experience in winning Serie A to be able to restructure the entire Juventus squad and be able to win a title. But the board hired an inexperienced coach.

Tiago Mota All the teams he has coached:

- Juventus

- Bologna

- Spezia Calcio

- Genoa

https://www.transfermarkt.com/thiago-motta/profil/trainer/61868

These are not teams that he has led to win Serie A, so how did the Juventus board expect to win the title when they signed him? Honestly, I can only think that the Juventus management's objective is not to win Serie A, but rather to qualify for the European Champions League.
