Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[W Jr.]

-snip-

Napoli are feeling the fatigue, but they have to be strong now that there is not much time left.
Giving in now would mean ruining a whole year of pursuit.
All in all it was a very good season, it could end even better if Inter win the cup of UCL of course

There's no excuse other than a win against Cagliari. There is no fatigue and that won't apply if they want a fourth Serie A trophy in the club's history.
Napoli are no longer a mid-table team although they were relegated and played in Serie B in the 2006/2007 season. Just one more game and the hope is still there to make all Napoli fans happy. Cagliari must be included in the list of strong teams, but for the sake of the championship goal, no matter how strong Cagliari is still very likely to be defeated.

Napoli will do whatever it takes to achieve its goal in that match. Or rather, they must win this match or they may not be champions. They drew last week and that was a big surprise. After an unlucky draw with Inter, Napoli is still ahead in the championship race. They have become one of the leading clubs in Italy. It is true that they played in the lower league in the past, but now Napoli is a much better and systematically successful team. They make very good transfers and compete with good players.

I heard today that Jürgen Klopp is going to Roma. I thought he was going to stay with the RB management and not coach a football team for a while. There was a denial today but we don't know which news to trust. I think Roma should sign a manager at least as good as Klopp if they want to challenge for the title. They should also make some top level signings. Because they are far behind Napoli, Inter and Juventus in terms of squad quality and game play.

They moved the scudetto day from Suday to Friday night.
In case of same points the 1v1 game will be played on Monday

I love this, we’ve anticipated enough let’s watch the drama erupt before the highlights. So whichever team that wins will have the weekend to celebrate. Friday is gonna be like watching a finals, only difference is that it involves four teams as against just two.,, in the stands you’ll just see fans watching and checking their phones.
It’s a Must win for both teams but Como is gonna make Inter’s life more difficult cos they’re at home and kinda an uprising team while Napoli has not been fairing well against lower teams but considering what’s at stake will give their 101% .
 What an exciting Friday Night it’ll be.

Serie A is interesting again after this season the trophy race must be completed in the last match where this has not happened in the last 2 seasons which is indeed for the last 2 seasons the points of the champion and runner up clubs are quite far away but this season is a very good thing that is worth watching in the end.

Inter Milan nearly had perfect streak and almost surpassed Napoli but a very late penalty and equalizer from Lazio resulted in a draw, and they wasted a very great opportunity to overtake a first position from Napoli at this very decisive time of the league and Scudetto race. They must win their last match while they must wait for a bad result from Napoli.

In the end they had to give up the victory in front of their eyes while making the dream of being at the top must be lost because of a goal in extra time, but indeed if you look at how the two clubs played in 90 minutes of the match I think it is a decent result even though this is not wearing for Inter because they actually lost the momentum that was in sight.

Napoli play Cagliari and Inter face Como in the last match at the same time so this will definitely provide an interesting situation where both clubs want to win because this is the only way to get the scudetto especially for Napoli. They still have the advantage compared to Inter because for now for Inter, apart from 3 points they have to hope Napoli fail to get full points again in this last match.

Napoli are stronger than Cagliari but with their bad performances recent weeks, there is big doubt that they will be able to beat Cagliari. They know that if they win, they surely take Scudetto but they are also aware that if they don't take 3 points from Cagliari, it's very likely that they will lose Scudetto to Inter Milan. It's quite vague that whether Napoli will handle this heavy and stressful task well next week especially after two latest bad matches.

In terms of conditions, both Napoli and Inter are currently stronger than their opponents. It's just that it can't be denied that Inter's pressure is much greater now because apart from those who really have to get a victory from Como, which is currently in a pretty good phase after Fabregas coached this club, they also have to expect Napoli not to be able to get full points. It's obviously going to be a dramatic final game where 3 points will decide the championship which is obviously a bit nerve-wracking.

Serie A is interesting again after this season the trophy race must be completed in the last match where this has not happened in the last 2 seasons which is indeed for the last 2 seasons the points of the champion and runner up clubs are quite far away but this season is a very good thing that is worth watching in the end.

This situation is almost the same as 3 seasons ago where Milan won the championship with a difference of 2 points from Inter at the end of the season. Of course now there are things worth waiting for in the last week because seeing for other big commeptitions in Europe at this time only Serie A is still not determining who will get the scudetto where for other commeptions such as La Liga, EPL, Ligue 1 and Bundesliga have gotten it even from a few weeks before the season ends.

Napoli play Cagliari and Inter face Como in the last match at the same time so this will definitely provide an interesting situation where both clubs want to win because this is the only way to get the scudetto especially for Napoli. They still have the advantage compared to Inter because for now for Inter, apart from 3 points they have to hope Napoli fail to get full points again in this last match.

Yeah, personally I would say Serie A this season is the most intriguing and the least predictable even up til the last day. We are only speculating about who the winner will be but no one is actually sure about it.  Another intriguing match will come up this weekend at the last day of the season where both Napoli and Inter Milan will be switching places between first and second just as it happened on Sunday. If Inter Milan leads in their game before Napoli they will switch positions and when Napoli leads they will also switch positions again. It's definitely gonna be another drama again until full time.

It would have been dramatic if Inter had won and Napoli had lost and they had to hand over the trophy at the end just as Dortmund did to Bayern two seasons ago but at the end of the day in football anything can happen and we'll just have to wait and see what happens.

I think it's definitely going to be a bit of a toss-up because either way I'm expecting a good game for the finale from both clubs regardless of who wins the title but they're going to have to work hard to achieve their goals and expectations.

The absurd thing that both of them drew, absurd and funny at the same time. It was a good opportunity for Inter to make the leap.

Yes Inter Milan destiny was in their hands but they decided to give it away for napoli to decides it in the remaining games to come because at it stands now Napoli is meeting a much smaller opponents they are playing at home again too so they have much chances of winning the scudetto because inter will be going away to play their next game it will only take luck for inter Milan to win the scudetto title now because it is not in their hands again to decide

If we look at it based on the percentage, Napoli's chances of winning the Scudetto 90% and the last match as the decider then Inter Milan have to wait for a miracle win in the last match and wait for Napoli to lose or draw logically this is absolutely impossible only a miracle can help them. I am sure and believe Inter Milan's current target is only the Champions League if they get it then failure in the Italian League is nothing.

[bitcoin_mining]

To be honest I am extremely disappointed with Napoli, because yesterday several bets came off because of their draw and I still can't believe that neither team scored even one goal. Before the match I looked at the statistics and before yesterday's match there was no 0-0 result for more than 35 years, besides Napoli had to win before the last round, but the result was amazing. If Inter would have won yesterday, I think it would have become champion with 99% probability, but Lazio decided to score the second goal in the last minutes and equalize the score.

Also the decision not to give a penalty in the 97th minute seems very suspicious and I as well as Napoli players apparently decided that it was 100% penalty.

Same here, my friend. I've been following them for 13 years, and i know that these kinds of matches are the most dangerous for Napoli. I assume Napoli "ruined" millions of betting slips yesterday, including mine. Luckily, Lazio managed to get a point, which is also very important for them. It was a penalty, but the referee called a foul that happened earlier, so unfortunately nothing came out of it. Napoli still has everything in their own hands, and I’m hoping for the title!

When you are a team that rarely ever wins the league (I know they won the league just 2 years ago, but what was the one before that?). It is a huge pressure on players to keep winning and get the title, they need seasons where everyone else plays bad to make it happen, and that is exactly what happened here too.

This is why we need to realize this won't do a good job, it is not going to be good for them. If they keep this happening and have a tie or a loss on the last game, I would still not blame them because they are not playing at a level they are used to, Napoli do not play for a title normally, and bunch of these players weren't even here when they won the league, not even Conte was here, so it's definitely a huge pressure and stress for them.

I agree, but even if they don’t win the title, these guys have already achieved something huge. Who could have even imagined that Napoli could win it? Especially after Kvara left. Conte came in to first build the team and then prepare them to fight for the title next season  but he’s done it this season. And if they do win it, which i hope they will, it’ll be an incredible success that no one expected.

We have to wait until the last match to see who will win the Italian league title. Napoli has always had a one-point difference with Inter Milan and with this 1-point difference, the two teams will enter their last match and both teams will want to ensure victory. However, if Napoli somehow draws or loses in the last match and Inter Milan wins in the same match, then Inter Milan will go to the last match and ensure the Italian league title. Since Inter Milan and Napoli are undefeated teams in the last few matches, there is little chance of them losing. If two teams win in separate matches in the Italian league competition, then Napoli will win the league title with this 1-point difference and Inter Milan will be the runner-up.

A few names have stood out in Serie B this season. I'm curious to see what they'll do in Serie A. They can also make a transfer in the Summer. Many teams and scouts are following them.

Three teams from Serie B will qualify for Serie A. These three teams are Sassuolo, SPezia and Pisa. We have seen Sassuolo in Serie A many times. However, Spezia and Pisa have qualified for Serie A very rarely. Pisa last qualified for Serie A in 1990-91.

Spezia qualified for Serie A in 3 consecutive seasons. In the last season, they fell into the relegation zone. However, next season we will see Spezia team in Serie A again.

Sassuolo club is not new. This team occupied the eighth place in the table in the 2020-21 and 2021-22 seasons. Spezia and Pisa may not spend big money on building their squad. However, Sassuolo will not want to fall into the relegation zone again. So Sassuolo management will strengthen the squad. I am waiting to see which players Sassuolo adds to the squad in the next transfer market.

[Jatiluhung]

A few names have stood out in Serie B this season. I'm curious to see what they'll do in Serie A. They can also make a transfer in the Summer. Many teams and scouts are following them.
Armand Lauriente of Sassuolo was top goal scorer with 18 goals. He also made 5 assists. He played the most important role in Sassuolo's championship.
Francesco Pio Esposito and Salvatore Esposito from Spezia played great this season. If Spezia can promote to Serie A, this will be their success. Francesco scored 17 goals while Salvatore scored 7 goals and made 9 assists. Both players are on the transfer radar of big teams. Beşiktaş was also mentioned for these three players. I hope we can buy at least one of these promising players who I like very much.

But I always regret it when small teams have players who stand out, aka players who have extraordinary performance and contribute greatly to their team, in the end they always leave the club and are brought in by big clubs who are interested. This makes ordinary teams always remain ordinary teams and find it difficult to develop to the next level.

I would rather see a small team retain its mainstay players and try to continue adding better players than letting go of the best at the club. But perhaps financial problems are the main challenge. So yeah, we can understand that.  It's just that it's always quite unfortunate.

I hope that the teams in Serie B who succeed in being promoted to Serie A in the next season will provide more interesting surprises. I want a new challenger in Serie A. And this season Como has succeeded in doing that. They managed to stay in Serie A in their first season being promoted to Serie A. And not only that, Como even managed to compete in the top 10. And that is one of the interesting things about this season.

I am sure and believe Inter Milan's current target is only the Champions League if they get it then failure in the Italian League is nothing.

Yes, as of now, Napoli is still leading Inter Milan by one point. I also see them as the favorite team to win the Serie A trophy. It is known that anything can happen, but we should not just assume that it has already happened like Napoli losing or drawing any of their remaining matches. Similarly, Inter Milan could also drop points. Both teams depend on luck to win this trophy, but the team that depends on luck more is Inter Milan because Napoli is already ahead by one point.

As you said, Inter Milan's focus is on the Champions League, and that is what caused them to lose some Serie A matches a few weeks ago. They were likely saving energy for the Champions League. As the final approaches, it is still possible that Inter Milan may shift their focus from Serie A and concentrate on the Champions League. It seems they value it more than Serie A. If they shift their focus, they might have a higher chance of winning the Champions League. However, Inter Milan’s remaining Serie A matches are against strong teams, which could lead to losses or draws.

[Arenga pinnata]

Yes, it's true that currently there is only one step left for Napoli to win the title this season. Namely, Napoli just have to beat Cagliari in the last match of the season in Serie A. And the title will automatically be in their hands. And I think Napoli will not waste this last match. Because it will be like a final match for them.

Napoli has an easier opponent, namely Cagliari. Meanwhile, Inter Milan have to face Como, whose quality is quite good and can sometimes be troublesome for strong teams. So I think Antonio Conte's troops will be able to beat Davide Nicola's troops. The comparison of the number of wins between Napoli and Cagliari is also very different. So it would really be a hard blow if Napoli didn't manage to win in the last match.

It should be noted that for Inter this will be an away game and for Napoli a home game. This creates an additional advantage for Napoli. Bookmakers estimate Inter's chances of winning not super high - only 1.65, but Napoli's victory is estimated at 1.19. By the way, 1.19 in this case looks like free money haha.
It is pleasing (or, on the contrary, disappointing) that Serie A is the only one of the top 5 leagues that kept the intrigue until the last round. In all other championships, the fight for the title ended much earlier.

Napoli also has an advantage because it will be the host. And what's more, the opponent is actually not that strong. And yeah it looks like free money. But I really became disinterested because there was still a risk with surprising results. Yes, all the big competitions in Europe currently have teams that have won. Now only Serie A is left to determine which team will win this season. And this is very interesting because it will be determined in the last match of the season.

I heard today that Jürgen Klopp is going to Roma. I thought he was going to stay with the RB management and not coach a football team for a while. There was a denial today but we don't know which news to trust. I think Roma should sign a manager at least as good as Klopp if they want to challenge for the title. They should also make some top level signings. Because they are far behind Napoli, Inter and Juventus in terms of squad quality and game play.

Regarding rumors that Klopp will go to AS Roma, it seems to have been directly denied by Marc Kosicke, who is Jurgen Klopp's agent. So for now it looks like we can consider it a false rumor. But it does not rule out the possibility that these rumors will become reality at some point. It's just that for now Klopp's agent has confirmed and denied these rumors.

I am sure and believe Inter Milan's current target is only the Champions League if they get it then failure in the Italian League is nothing.

Considering how bad Napoli performance was in the last match and also considering the incident that Conte got with his loud protest to the referee then the miracle might happen in the deciding match later because I think with the absence of the coach on the sidelines at least this will disrupt the team performance. But they are lucky enough because in the Inter match also Inzaghi will not be present so it is quite interesting to see these two teams will compete without their respective coaches, I currently still support inter even though the Scudetto is 90% in Napoli hands. Nothing is impossible when it comes to football right?

The Italian Seria A title is Napoli to lose, and with the way things are right now, it's near impossible for them not to win this game on Sunday, considering the fact that they are playing at home and with an inferior opposition, so it's because of that I believe that the title is gone, where inter Milan would have claw their way back to the top is if they had won Lazio at home, but they were unable to do that, which ended in a draw.

Secondly I don't think that Antonio conte not being on the sidelines will have any significant impact on his Napoli side, because since he is still their manager, he can still pass his message across to the players, though he would be doing it from a third party true the assistant coach but that wouldn't change anything, that's why I am quite certain that the title is heading to the Naples this season.

Napoli and Inter Milan's last performance was below average despite what happened in the game but looking at the last game which is the title decider game, there is going to be so much expectation in both teams and the absence of their managers shouldn't be a set back to them but it should rather be a thing of motivation to the players to get the job done so that they can have the celebration with the manger.

Napoli has a better chance of winning the league because of the team they are playing against in the last game and they are playing the host so it will be possible for a team like Cagliari to defeat Napoli or secure a draw in front of Napoli fans. Inter has a difficult game against an informed Como 1907, playing from away for Inter Milan will definitely affect them because Como is undefeated in their last 5 matches.

It's fake rumor. Klopp's agent has denied the rumour about Klopp has agreed to become the next coach for Roma. It's only a buzz news created by incompetent news merchant.

Whatever happens, whether Napoli or Inter win, obviously anything can happen, this year I have to thank the teams that played in Serie A for the super entertaining show they offered

About Juventus, that's not a good club for Klopp, instead of going there, Klopp has many other options.

Of course, one needs to appreciate quality football be it from your club or not. The important thing is that you are entertained. My club is messing up but I wouldn't let that stop me from enjoying the fun in watching football and appreciate the outstanding clubs for their incredible performances. The last match will determine if Napoli will be the title winner or Inter.

It's quite vague that whether Napoli will handle this heavy and stressful task well next week especially after two latest bad matches.

I just hope that the team that deserves it the most wins, without having to bother anyone.
In the end this is the beauty of football that usually, not always, the team that has tried in some way to win in their head more than the opponent wins. Those who believe until the end

About Juventus, that's not a good club for Klopp, instead of going there, Klopp has many other options.

Klopp has been with Liverpool for a long time. Almost 9 years. Klopp will definitely want to go to a club where he will stay for at least 3/4 years. Could it be Roma?  Roma management made a very quick decision. Roma have changed coaches 4 times since 2024. Will Klopp take the risk of taking charge of such a club? Also, Roma management does not create a large amount of funds for buying players. It does not seem that Roma can even compete for the Serie A title with this squad. I would say Juventus could be a better choice for Klopp than Roma.
