Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[len01]

Considering the performances of Roma since Claudio Ranieri took over and the club manager, I'll not be surprised if at the end of the season they end up in the top four of the Italian Serie A table which will automatically guarantee their place in the UEFA Champions League competition next season. They've been getting good results lately and that I know will give them the moral to continue to fight for better results. Undoubtedly, finishing in the top four will be a very difficult task for Roma but do I expect them to achieve that feat? Of course I do

Do you remember the beginning of last season and seeing Roma performance when they were still struggling in the European league?
If you still remember, I think you won't believe too much in giving praise to Claudio Ranieri. Because at that time Roma experienced inconsistency and was eliminated from the UEL.
But I can't deny your opinion, because Ranieri managed to take advantage of the current conditions which no longer have a busy match schedule. So, the coach can focus more on achieving the best position at the end of the season with consecutive wins.

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.

Roma did perform well in Serie A but they failed in the Europa League of course they have not been able to stabilize their energy when the schedule is tight. With their elimination in the Europa League of course Roma only thinks about their progress in Serie A, Well with consecutive wins lifting Roma's ranking until they are currently ranked 7th. I think their chances of catching up with the teams above their ranking are getting more enthusiastic because the record of a series of wins makes Roma's troops even more motivated to overtake each team.

I see the remaining match for Roma this season are so tough because they will face several strong teams that are ranked above. However, Raneiri has managed to make good progress, I think he can overcome strong opponents and is ready to get 3 points when playing at home or away.

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

Como are in 13th place in the standings and they are not in the relegation zone at the moment, but if Como don't perform consistently in the remaining matches, it is not impossible that they will have problems. Como are quite a surprising team that got promoted to Serie-A last season because if you look at the other two teams, they actually had a hard time keeping up with the game against their opponents.

Fabregas managed to make Como perform better even though Como's overall game was not very consistent. That is understandable because they just got promoted and are not supported by quality players overall, but what Como has achieved is something extraordinary at this time.

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.

In the last 6 matches in Serie A, we have seen AS Roma not experience another defeat. And that is quite rapid progress for the AS Roma team which was initially very inconsistent and AS Roma even experienced defeats more often at the start of the season. It is thanks to Ranieri that I think AS Roma is slowly improving and can continue to improve their ranking in the Serie A standings. One thing that is very unfortunate is that AS Roma failed in the European League this season. Even though that was the only opportunity for AS Roma to get UCL tickets. But the opponents there are very tough. because there are still several strong teams from various leagues there. So yeah, we can understand that. And now AS Roma just have to focus more on improving their standings in Serie A.

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.

Klopp has always been a worthy example associated with patience,, it didn't take a short time to make Liverpool what they're today. But we also need to remember that not all teams & their supporters can be as patient as Liverpool & their supporters, for teams that have unlimited money, results should be seen quickly. I can't imagine if Klopp had gone to Real Madrid & had bad results at the start, I think the next season he would have been replaced by a new manager.

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

Same with me, LOL. I don't think any team can catch Inter Milan right now.

[MarjorieZimmermanGinger]

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)

In terms of quality, Juventus is much more likely to end the season in fourth place compared to Roma so I see it will be much more difficult for Roma to do their best in the remaining matches. The defeat in the Europa League was inseparable from the red card received by Hummels so they were unable to match Bilbao's game and it was not much worse although it is quite unfortunate that Roma did not try to play safer.

Now the fourth position is occupied by Bologna after Fiorentina managed to beat Juventus and in my opinion both teams are experiencing a decline so it is difficult for them to play consistently even though the points difference is still possible for them to catch up.

[topbitcoin]

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.

Roma's total is currently 13 matches without losing in Serie A even though their focus is still disturbed and they cannot be consistent for other competitions because they have to be eliminated from the Italian Cup from Milan and a good turnaround from Bilbao in the Europa League but it cannot be denied that for now Roma's changes in Serie A are very good.

They received too much criticism before even with the decision of several quick changes of coaches but that is a good thing for them in terms of mentality because if they continue to show this then it is clear that the criticism received is used as motivation not as a source of decline.

Currently. With the performance they have, it is not impossible for Roma to go further including to the Champions League Zone as long as they are always maintained and consistent in terms of performance because the point difference is now quite close and allows for competition.

I'd like to call this as the rise of Como. This is their first season at serie a, but they looked like have stayed for years at serie a. They rarely lost against the big club, and far away from the relegation zone. I really appreciate how Fabregas totally transformed this club.

He helped this club to go up from the lower league and finally reached serie, and stay for another season. His team is really underrated team now. I can't even imagine if Como's owner give him huge sum of money to buy the new players.

Como may be starting to cook next season.

This is good development and serious improvement to move from division league to the Seria A such a short time. Many other clubs have come to the Serie A in the first season and finished same season relegated but Como under Fabregas has improved the team immensely. He deserves all the praises he can get.

It is indeed a great accomplishment for Cesc Fabregas in Como. The club didn't have enough money but the Spanish coach used his vast connection across to attract players like, Alberto Moreno, Sergi Roberto, Assane Diao, Pepe Reina,  Anastasios Douvikas, Nico Paz, Alex Valle and Ivan Azon which have contributed to the exploit of the club. Yhw club's focus now should be to remain in the Seria A and start preparing for the next season. Already Fabregas has already started making arrangements for the next season as he has started talking to some players, such as Nico Paz from Real Madrid. It's good to see young coaches making impact in top flight league.s..

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.

Considering the performances of Roma since Claudio Ranieri took over and the club manager, I'll not be surprised if at the end of the season they end up in the top four of the Italian Serie A table which will automatically guarantee their place in the UEFA Champions League competition next season. They've been getting good results lately and that I know will give them the moral to continue to fight for better results. Undoubtedly, finishing in the top four will be a very difficult task for Roma but do I expect them to achieve that feat? Of course I do

The coming of Claudio Ranieri changed everything for the team and reposition them in terms of performance. Roma have a chance of qualifying for champions league next season if they keep this steam going forward. Although Roma can act funny especially when you have develop some level of confidence playing them in betting. I have suffered some terrible losses from playing them to win against a very small team they deserve to beat when everything favors them to win. Let us see where their new found strength can carry them to as we enter the last part of the season.

Everyone expects Napoli to get 3 points in their last match considering Venezia isn't a strong team ATM, Venezia has an advantage in defense which makes them one of the lower ranked teams with a low goal conceding rate. Venezia also played at home, I think those are 2 reasonable reasons why Venezia were able to hold Napoli to a draw.

Back to Napoli, in the next 2 matches they will face AC Milan & Bologna, this is a challenge for them. I think it will be difficult for them to catch Inter Milan in the next few weeks, we'll see what happens.
 People expect Napoli to be the top of the Italy league table this season, but they have dropped to second position which is a big challenge for Napoli right now and if they are not careful in their next games , it will make them to lose another points that will make the gap between them and inter to be long. Venezia coach is doing what is giving the players ability to challenge some big teams to drop their points or share points with them, which they will like to do the same thing to Napoli.

Napoli will beat AC Milan, but Bologna will give Napoli a surprise beating because they are doing perfectly well and they will do what will make them to step in second position.

Ok all clear, i am not a football expert but if i look at the standings and Venezia at the bottom, i don't think that Venezia's defense is that good in the end. Then consider that Napoli must win at all costs to stay close to Inter.
I think Napoli will win, but maybe i am wrong

Napoli will win the match because they messed things up for themselves last week, which gave Inter the opportunity to widen the points gap. They will take this match very serious in order for them not to increase the point gap, if not there vision of winning the title would be shattered. Only if they have given up the title race to Inter.

[Pandu Geddon]

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.

Yes, I know it will all require hard work from Roma throughout the rest of the season. Besides Juventus and Lazio, Roma also still has to face strong teams like Inter and Atalanta. It is not easy but they still have a chance because the same situation will also be faced by the three teams above them. So everything will be determined by the team that performs better for the rest of the season.

They will take this match very serious in order for them not to increase the point gap, if not there vision of winning the title would be shattered. Only if they have given up the title race to Inter.

They won't win AC Milan because they lost to Inter Milan last week, it's not a motivation and reason for their win against AC Milan. They have to fight for a win and AC Milan are not a weak opponent as well as they have their own target in this match and remaining matches of this season too.

Napoli have to fight with best performance to beat AC Milan and there will be no reserved easy win for Napoli. If Napoli can not play well, are careless, they can lose another big match and expand their disadvantage with Inter Milan after this weekend. I really expect a fall of Napoli in late of this season because their player resource is not too good and not deep enough to play well in a long season.

If Conte can manage to help Napoli winning Scudetto in this season with very limited player resource, it will be a very big milestone in his coach career.

[Velvet78]

This national break could be really helpful for some teams in the Serie A as well. Such as Juventus and Milan for example. Not very sure about Juventus though. 

But for Milan, maybe... Because Sérgio Conceição achieved a trophy with this team in his early times already. Later on, things just started to go the other way for them.

However the thing is, they are still 4 points behind top 6. They can still qualify for a European tournament. And they are still a candidate to make double considering the semi final in the Coppa Italia. I hope he benefits from the break and prepare his players to show better performances in the remaining time of the season.

Fabregas is starting the process with Como and he is building the Como team since Serie B slowly until now the Como team has become a fairly successful promotion team in Serie A this season compared to Venezia and Parma.
We see realistically that Como's performance and consistency have continued to improve since the beginning of the season so there is great potential for Fabregas to make Como better in the rest of this season.
To be able to escape the relegation zone this season I am quite optimistic that Fabregas can do it and for next season I also have strong confidence if Fabregas is supported more by Como management to build the team.

This national break could be really helpful for some teams in the Serie A as well. Such as Juventus and Milan for example. Not very sure about Juventus though. 

Juventus and Bologna are still competing tightly to win a big position, but Bologna still benefits after 2 matches that Juventus went through suffered a crushing defeat, it must be quite difficult to restore the confidence of its players. Motta management is increasingly threatened and rumors are circulating that his fate will end at the end of this season or even sooner than expected. Juventus who were eliminated from the UEFA Champions League and Coppa Italia only have Serie A left to really fight for 4th place in the standings.

[coinlocket$]

According to the latest Motta is basically being sacked.
Tudor is taking his spot until the end of the season plus and option to extend the contract if he will qualify for the Chamspions.

This is very probable scenario and could be announced in the evening, in minutes or hours.

For Conceição, this break serves more as a make-or-break than a rest. Guy might yet get the boot and finish with TWO medals! Milan is currently rather competitive like that. The club is already looking for a new sporting director who would provide a new perspective for 2025–26. Even if he knocks out Inter in the Coppa semis, you think management cares? They terminated Pirlo following TWO trophies and a UCL place

Now for Juve, Allegri’s situation is different. They are survivors rather than dreamers now. Though in UCL race, no Scudetto hopes, but if exploited properly this break is a gold mine. After the Atalanta tragedy, perhaps even emotional recovery later on in a tactical sense. But given how delicate they have been all season, one more slip will drop from the top four

There are rumors that Thiago Motta will be sacked soon. Roberto Mancini and Igor Tudor are being considered by Juventus management as his potential successors. Juventus still has a chance to finish in the top four of the standings, the point difference with Bologna is relatively small, and the opportunity to secure a Champions League spot is still open.
However, if they don't sack Thiago Motta immediately, I have some doubts that Juventus will be able to secure that opportunity. The 4-0 loss to Atalanta and the 3-0 loss to Fiorentina are actually enough reasons to fire him.
