Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[BALIK]

If Atalanta cannot add dexterous players then it is safe to say that they may not be able to claim the title as at the moment it seems to me that various clubs in Italy are re-energising. It is conceivable that the Napoli club is still one step ahead in increasing their power. We can confidently say that Napoli Football Club currently has many energetic and hard-working players, whose combination can make this team even more formidable next season. On the other hand Inter Milan may not be a great team yet because analyzing their performance will show that they lack creativity but it seems that the team's new coach Chivu is making this team a new fighter as he has already said that this club is ready to turn everything around with the opening match of the Club World Cup.

Atalanta are unlikely to compete for the title. Atalanta performed well at the beginning of the season but gradually fell behind. If they want to win the Serie A title, they have to maintain a consistent performance throughout the season. This is not possible for Atalanta.

If Atalanta wants to win the title, they will definitely have to strengthen their squad. There is no alternative. At the same time, they will have to perform very carefully. Atalanta has also qualified for the Champions League. If they want to do well on both platforms, it will be more difficult for Atalanta. If Atalanta focuses only on Serie A, then maybe it will be easier for Atalanta to maintain a consistent performance.

Based on their last 2 seasons, they should have a great chance of being in the Serie A title race. Looking at the list of goalscorers last season, the top 3 names are filled by Atalanta players, they are Mateo Retegui & Ademola Lookman. I think Atalanta are just unlucky & they should have a clear objective in their matches, it's no use having a lot of goals in certain matches because the points are the same (3 points).

There aren't many clubs up to par, eh
- Inter has significantly reduced its budget and has a new coach, who is not up to par in my opinion
- Milan, no comment, you know what condition it is in
- Juventus, ditto, coach not up to par in my opinion, Tudor..
- Atalanta, maybe the only one, I don't see anything else

Napoli can do it again.
So it can be said that Napoli is a team that is truly more prepared to face the competition in the next season because with everything they do they do not make drastic changes in anything unlike other strong candidate teams who make many changes, especially changes in the managerial sector, a sector that is the main key so there is a big chance for them to retain the scudetto.
Napoli is a very good team. The transfers they made this year also look very good. Their team was also good and the manager is making very good reinforcements in the weak areas. They look like a team that aims to be successful not only in the Italian league but also in the Champions League next year. I really wonder what Napoli can do next year and I want to see who else they will acquire during the transfer period. Milan and Juventus have a slightly more ordinary squad compared to them. I think Napoli is one of the two best teams in Italy, along with Inter, in terms of squad quality.

Let's say that together with Inter, Napoli is the best prepared team for next season, it's no coincidence that they were the two who fought for the Scudetto. And in the end, Napoli even managed to overcome Inter in a moment of weakness. So next season they will surely be at the top

[Velvet78]

This season of Ademola Lookman wasnt that good, after having a supreme finish in the other one when they become champions of europa league, he cant maintain his level in this one, i mean he do a good job but nothing close to what the team was expected. Even Retegui was better than him by far.

Let's make a comparison about Lookman's previous and recent season statistics:

- 17 goals, 10 assists in 45 games in total in the 23/24 season
- 20 goals, 7 assists in 40 games in total in the 24/25 season

The same number of goal contribution. He even did it in less amount of games this time. Honestly I find this performance quite decent.    He isn't a CF. He is playing as SS so the stats look good to me considering that.

I'm curious about whether he thinks of leaving this summer to sign for a bigger team...

Atalanta was a strong team last season. And I thought that maybe Atalanta would compete for the title until the end of this season. But that didn't happen.

Atalanta's attack was strong. In 38 matches, Napoli's players scored only 59 goals, while Atalanta's players scored 78 goals. Also, Atalanta's defense was not weak. Even then, Atalanta was 8 points behind Napoli at the end of the season.

Atalanta's squad is strong. If they want to win the Serie A title, they need to keep their performance stable from the beginning to the end of the season. And for that, they need an experienced coach. Tullio Gritti has been Atalanta's manager for a long time. Gritti has no other achievements other than the single Europa League title.

If you look at the changes made by the Serie A teams to cover next season, I am a little pessimistic that there will be a fierce competition for the Scudetto because Inter Milan I doubt them with a new coach while Napoli made the team stronger so I am sure Napoli will be able to defend the Serie A title unless Juventus and Roma succeed in building a better team and these two teams are likely to put pressure on Napoli to be able to compete in the Serie A title race next season.

Certainly and i would also say unfortunately, let's say that the president has learned from his mistakes and has tried to keep the team stable by adding quality additions.
Thanks to this the team is doing very well, before Conte there was practically no proper coach, that much must be said.

[Adbitco]

Atalanta is known for its attacking football, as it is known Retegui and Lookman were good last season. Atalanta's problem is that Atalanta did not maintain its consistency throughout the season. Atalanta will definitely be in the championship race this season and the leadership will be a serious threat. Inter and Napoli will already be there this season.

I wonder what Juventus and Milan will do, they should be there too, these teams would not have spent their seasons like this, they are teams that won cups and they will come for that cup.

Talking about Atlanta, that's a very good team infact it's one of the best Italian teams in recent years but the question keeps begging, what's happening to them them that they haven't yet attempted to win the league! I don't think I have seen in recent years a season they were tipped to be the favourite for the league by either the bookies or fans. Yes, they are a fantastic team and can stand with the big teams at times and even win them but they are never in the picture when it comes to winning the league.

[Gallar]

Yes, doubting Napoli right now is certainly not a good idea. Because, under the guidance of a great coach like Conte, Napoli will be very difficult to shift their dominance in Serie A by any team next season. So, people who say that Napoli will find it difficult to become champions next season, I also feel that this assumption is completely wrong. Because, I am sure Napoli will appear much more convincing next season. Because it is certain that in this transfer market, Napoli will strengthen its squad better. So with this, Napoli can be said to be much better next season.

Napoli are not a club with abundant player resource to play well in both Serie A and Champions League. How they failed two seasons ago is a very good example and also plays as a warning for Conte and Napoli players. They are a champion of Serie A and they can be proud of that title, but a next season will be very challenging for them. They surely will not participate in Champions League for fun without any ambitious target that potentially is their big problem. They can fail in both Serie A and Champions League by ambitiously want to play well in both competitions.

Yes, you are right to want to play well in two competitions at once, of course, which is not an easy thing for Napoli. Because factors such as fatigue and injury will usually always haunt in such conditions. But what's wrong with trying, because in the history of football, there are not a few teams that can play well in two competitions at once. So even though next season will be very difficult for Napoli, I am sure Conte can handle it well. Because if we compare it with Napoli's performance in the 2023-2024 season, at that time Napoli was quite chaotic, because the problem was that the coach who brought them the Serie A championship that season was no longer serving as coach. So that's why their performance was chaotic. But with that, Napoli has valuable experience, that being consistent with one coach is the key to very good success. Besides that, you are also right, that Napoli does not have many player resources at this time. So maybe this needs to be underlined by Napoli, so that they can buy some players to be able to make their squad more stable next season. And if that's the case, I'm sure Napoli's fate next season will not be the same as their fate in the 2023-2024 season.

I wonder what Juventus and Milan will do, they should be there too, these teams would not have spent their seasons like this, they are teams that won cups and they will come for that cup.

If Atalanta can always maintain their consistency throughout the season then there is no doubt that Atalanta will be able to compete for the title in Serie A every season. The problem is that Atalanta cannot always play well. They sometimes even experience a decline when the season is in the middle and nearing the end.

And in the coming season I feel Atalanta will have quite a hard time competing at the top. Because they will adapt again to their new coach, Ivan Juric, after they lost their old coach who has now moved to AS Roma.

I think that without Gasperini Atalanta will become a completely different team because in Atalanta's case the coach defined a lot. As for Juric to be honest I am disappointed that Atalanta made a choice in his favor because I consider him a rather weak coach for a team that will play in the Champions League. So I do not expect anything good from Atalanta in the new season.

[Fuso.hp]

I don't think that Napoli can defend the title next season because another club will become stronger than them. Just like the way nobody expected Napoli to win Scudetto this season is the same way, nobody knows who which club will be the favorite to win the league next season. Inzaghi left Inter and the new coach needs to understand the players in order for them to easily adapt to his football pattern.

There aren't many clubs up to par, eh
- Inter has significantly reduced its budget and has a new coach, who is not up to par in my opinion

Napoli's performance in the last season was consistent, so they will want to start the new season from where they ended last season. However, Inter Milan can be called a bit of an unlucky team in this regard because Inter Milan performed poorly in the first few matches and could not overtake Napoli later, but in the end, Inter Milan competed hard with Napoli. When the new season of the Italian league starts, every team in the league will want to perform well in the first matches and secure the top position of the points table because if you lose points at the beginning, those points are not recovered. This season, the big rival teams in the Italian league were Inter Milan and Napoli, maybe AC Milan can be added to the list of rival teams with these two teams next season, although AC Milan's performance this season was not satisfactory, we still have to trust this team.

[Fara Chan]

I start from the assumption that I don't like Ivan Juri? and I think he is a very overrated coach, so in my opinion he won't be able to keep the team up, the work done by Gasperini in these years has been very, very difficult, and he has obtained excellent results, it will be difficult for any other coach to repeat this in my opinion

Ivan Juric is a new coach at Atalanta and everyone needs to see how he performs next season so that they can have a more accurate assumption and assessment of him. So for now I think it is still not right to judge him badly because next season has not started yet although I am also not sure that he can match Gasperini's achievements when he was still coaching Atalanta. But for now it is better to give Ivan Juric enough time so that everyone can see more real results without any assumptions.

[Volgastallion]

Italian teams for this next season needs to step up their game in the european competitions, aside of Inter reaching the Champions League final the rest of the italian teams were a disaster so they need to improve to not lose more spots in the next seasons.

I really like to see if they can be better, and not only focus in the domestic league.

So I do not expect anything good from Atalanta in the new season.

Ivan Juric becomes Atalanta head coach! Thanks for this update but what is their consideration for choosing a failed coach? Is it because there is no other choice or they don't want to spend big money? I totally agree with you, Atalanta will not look like last season because another factor in a team success is the right coach and Ivan is not that person.

[Callido]

Yes, they are a fantastic team and can stand with the big teams at times and even win them but they are never in the picture when it comes to winning the league.

We all feel the same way concerning Atlanta playing and winning their games and they end up falling apart in moments completing full points will give them advantage over the bigger teams of Italian football, Atlanta lost crucial points from last season if they had plans of contesting for title they shouldn't have lost, Napoli became wise replacing Inter in ruling the league, even when the battle drew closer to the end Napoli refused to let their performance slow, it ended with point difference of 1.

[cande86]

Well, Luis Enrique proved to be a very intelligent coach , He saw Inter's game, how Inzhagi stands up to teams, and he was able to read all of his intentions , For me, the final was very uneven PSG were always on the attack from the middle of the field, while Inter eventually couldn't even breathe, I admire Luis Enrique's skill.

well, luis enrique has proven to be a very intelligent coach, but not now, he has already demonstrated his enormous value in the past
he studied, as he always does, the opponent and found a strategy and a tactic to counter the game
nothing new under the sun but everything done perfectly

[Jatiluhung]

Italian teams for this next season needs to step up their game in the european competitions, aside of Inter reaching the Champions League final the rest of the italian teams were a disaster so they need to improve to not lose more spots in the next seasons.

I really like to see if they can be better, and not only focus in the domestic league.

The Italian teams were once in their best condition to the point that at that time the Italian teams were the majority who made it to the quarter-finals of the UCL. If I'm not mistaken, that was the same season when Napoli managed to become champions in Serie A, namely when Napoli was still coached by Spalletti. and at that time Inter Milan also made it to the final but lost in the final.

And I really miss those times. Because one season after that the Italian teams slumped and they ended up quickly in the UCL. And last season, only Inter Milan managed to continue to progress quite far in the UCL. And in the coming season, Italian teams must further improve their quality in major competitions. But with the many changes in coaches at several Italian clubs, I think it will be quite difficult to see Italian teams experience rapid improvement.

[BALIK]

Atalanta are unlikely to compete for the title. Atalanta performed well at the beginning of the season but gradually fell behind. If they want to win the Serie A title, they have to maintain a consistent performance throughout the season. This is not possible for Atalanta.
If Atalanta wants to win the title, they will definitely have to strengthen their squad. There is no alternative. At the same time, they will have to perform very carefully. Atalanta has also qualified for the Champions League. If they want to do well on both platforms, it will be more difficult for Atalanta. If Atalanta focuses only on Serie A, then maybe it will be easier for Atalanta to maintain a consistent performance.

Based on their last 2 seasons, they should have a great chance of being in the Serie A title race. Looking at the list of goalscorers last season, the top 3 names are filled by Atalanta players, they are Mateo Retegui & Ademola Lookman. I think Atalanta are just unlucky & they should have a clear objective in their matches, it's no use having a lot of goals in certain matches because the points are the same (3 points).

Atalanta's attacking lineup is stronger we have seen. Their players have the ability to score a lot of goals. In the last two seasons we have seen 70 goal from  Atalanta players. But then we do not see the results from the team as expected. So where is the atalanta's weakness?

Atalanta's defense needs to be somewhat stronger. However, it cannot be said that Atalanta's defense is weak. In addition to strengthening the defense, Atalanta should be completely focused on Serie A. Atalanta has qualified for the Champions League.  Atalanta has no chance of winning the Champions League title. If Atalanta gives full focus on Serie A, they have the potential to do dominate in serie A.

It was not consistent at all, and I mean literally not AT ALL. They played horrible in so many games, and for a while lost the race to Inter until they got it back. Napoli is one of the lowest points champion in the recent memory, they played not so well, normally a second or third place at best, but this season every other team sucked so badly that Napoli got lucky and won.

What they are trying to do now, is to build a team that can actually win championship level points, because if they can do that, then they are going to do a lot better and win it again. They know, and aware, that their current team is nowhere near the championship level, if they just kept all their players and didn't get anyone, they would have hard time cracking top four.
