Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Plaguedeath]

I don't know what to say... How did Roma manage to lose by 0-1 home against Torino?    After all those attempts... Was it just an unlucky day you think?

22 shots, 5 of which on target. But interestingly 0 big chances. Still 1.30 xG though. Football is really not all about statistics all the time. As in this example, you can still lose even though how hard you try.

Shit happen I guess.

Torino is pretty bad in this season, but they manage to beat Roma at Stadio Olimpico which is pretty unbelievable.

Even Sassuolo beat Lazio, few upsets happen in this week.

Next one is Milan vs Bologna, upset might be possible because they both aren't consistent.

Incredibly both roman team lost today.
Roma lost at home against Torino for 1-0
Lazio lost 1-0 in away game against Sassuolo.
Milan will play in 1 hour ish vs Bologna and it will be probably the 1st game for Rabiot as Milan's player.

Even though the Thuram brothers play for different teams, they give their all for their teams. I'd love to see them play on the same team. The Juventus-Inter match was the most entertaining match I've seen recently. I hope to see more matches like this in Italy, as both teams have championship ambitions, and they gave us an entertaining match. All the goals were amazing. These are the things that make football beautiful.

It's good to have them on same league and different teams, playing for same club may require so much expectations from the two which may dwindle the rate of their performance. They're both excellent as rivals and were happy to score although Marcus didn't celebrate after he scored against his brother. However, the match in all was real football, the kind that entices FIFA. No side was tapping out, it was goal for goal.

Great game as the two teams were superb in their performance yesterday seriously nobody expected this type of performance especially the score line because it was a feast of goals, seven goals in a single game is a statement that these two teams has a lot of quality in them. This is a sign that the competition will be very high because the goal scoring rate of these two teams will be high.

Seriously, I personally didn't have high expectations for this Derby d'Italia, but I have to admit I enjoyed their performance. Juventus gave everything in front of their fans and Inter did the same. I think Juventus is closer to the Scudetto this season and I even think they could become the number one favorite overtaking Napoli as long as they can maintain their consistency.

[dezoel]

It was the best game of the season so far, in all five leagues. I mean the game was nail biter to the end and it really looked amazing and teams really played amazing for a long time, they really looked like they didn't tire out at all and played with everything all game long.

I think it is clear that they are doing a great job, and should be proud. I get that it may not be easy, but it is definitely something Inter has to look as good. I know they lost, and how could you feel good about a loss, but this was one of those. The main reason is simply because they played amazing, but Juventus just played even better, but that doesn't mean Inter played badly, the huge potential is there and they can definitely do good this season.

The chances for Juventus to overtake Napoli are certainly open, but it is clearly not an easy task because Napoli have also been impressive so far. Inter Milan, on the other hand, do not seem capable of competing for the Scudetto this season, as they appear to be regressing under Chivu management.
We know it is still too early to talk about the Scudetto winner, especially with so many challenges that Juventus and Napoli still have to face ahead. The dynamics of the Scudetto race can change quickly, as the workload they will face increases in the future.
Maybe that the pressure coming from the Champions League will make it difficult for Juventus or Napoli to maintain consistency.

Yeah awful game from Roma. Losing against a garbage team who play badly all season is unacceptable especially when it's a home game. I identify the problem was in Gasp itself. Why does he put Dybala as false 9? It will never work. Gasp must stop to do experiment with his squad. His gameplan is totally useless in this game.

Appears Roma is about getting on with their inconsistency and this time they are getting on it early enough which is not a good precedence for them this season, they have europa ahead of them so I can only wonder how they hope to achieve the title if they can be this poor in performance against smaller teams like this at this early stage of the season in which we will not be saying it is because they have already gone far into the season and probably have a reason to not be optimal with their performance, I feel disappointed actually.

Roma was just unlucky in the game because they were supposed to score after those incredible attempts they pulled in but it's unfortunate that they couldn't find the back of the net till they ended the game with a loss at home. At some point in the game they made me feel like they were going to come back in the game but watching how they couldn't equalize from an opponent that is not doing better than them you should know that the luck wasn't in their side.

Funny enough it was 1x for Roma that I pick but they didn't win and they ended up not coming back in the game even in their home ground, very bad result.

For Roma it is better they have their problems early this season so that they can solve it before the season gets to the decisive part, Torino are hard nut to crack and they were rock hard today against Roma.
Roma won’t be among the Italian clubs to compete for the title that will be Inter Milan, Juventus, Napoli and Atalanta but Roma will want to qualify for Europe and I think they can have a place in the Europa League.

AC Milan is leading with one goal right now and I don't think both Milan's teams will lose in this round like the teams from Rome.
Roma and Lazio both lost by a goal and Inter Milan resisted against Juventus, flipped the result and lost at the end by 3 goals to 4.
Only Napoli didn't trick their fans and people betting for them I guess.

Odds changed for the winner of the serie A in many bookmakers.

We now have Napoli leading ofcourse, they have a solid team, with an already 1 year old contract with their coach.
Juventus now tied Inter in the second position.

Looking at the odds they offering now, it is basically already won by Napoli  

Before the serie A season started, Napoli and Inter Milan were tied on the same odds. I am not surprised that the bookmakers see Napoli as the favorite to win the Scudetto this season because Napoli has won their first three matches this season, and they are currently topping the Serie A table. Napoli's current performance is commendable, and if they maintain their current performance for a long time, they might end up winning this season Scudetto.

The competition in the Italian Seria A this season will so gonna tough as they've got Three strong team that will be fighting for the Scudetto this season, I'm talking about the like of Juventus, Napoli, and Inter Milan though Inter Milan has lost two matches in a row but we just can't write them off, they might still bounce back, and for Juventus they have been in the dark for long and I believe this season is their season to bounce back, but the competition will be mostly on Napoli and Juventus, and if care is not taken Juventus might win the Scudetto this season just mark my word.

Napoli's current performance is commendable, and if they maintain their current performance for a long time, they might end up winning this season Scudetto.

This season's Scudetto race will likely be different from last season, as Napoli still has to consider Juventus and Inter Milan as serious opponents, not to mention several other teams who can occasionally spring surprises in certain matches. So, Napoli's task this season will certainly not be easy, as this long season will require more stamina and consistency for any team. Therefore, some people won't immediately take three early wins for a particular team, as the team could still experience the opposite in other matches.

Yes today's games came out promising to all the big teams except for Liverpool that had a narrow escape against Burnley. The champions of Europe did a perfect job by winning 3 and above uninterrupted goals in there games which is a clear indication that this seasons champions league will be a competitive one.
Although concluding how the future would be with just a day result at times fails because some teams may loss form while others can be hindered by injuries so the best is to wait for that time to come

Roma has been disappointing even since last season, I wasn't expecting them to lose today but football can be very unpredictable..who would have thought that cremonese would be ahead of Lazio and milan.  At least Milan was able to win today's game but I don't think they would be able to maintain the position they are right now..from the looks of things Napoli and juve are going to be at that top this season

Last season, the race for the top four was quite tight, and Napoli was lucky to secure the Scudetto by a single point over Inter Milan. This season, the competition will likely be much more intense, and it's possible that several teams will be directly involved in the Scudetto race. So far, Napoli and Juventus have been impressive, while Inter Milan seems to have regressed a bit. However, given how long the season is, the situation could very well change.

It's certainly not easy to defend the Scudetto, and Conte understands that very well. That's why he worked hard to improve the squad depth during the summer transfer window, and so far, that move has proven successful in boosting their performance. Looking ahead, AC Milan strength is actually also worth considering, aniway Allegri has a good enough squad to be a Scudetto contender.

Among the games today, Roma losing to Tourino came as a surprise. I've seen them as a top competitor this season.
By the looks of how its shaping up early. It seems the race for the title would be between Juventus and Napoli. Not just the winning streak but Juventus has won Inter so we should consider them a stronger team while Napoli is the defending champion. And for the rest two spots for Champions league, it would be a competition between Inter, Roma, Atlanata and AC Milan as usual. Inter has have a very bad start but I believe they'd come to atleast the top 4 by the end of the season.

Milan defended their only goal well, securing victory. While their performance wasn't particularly exciting, the important thing was the three points, and they earned them. Roma, on the other hand, lost three points at home to Torino. That point was worth its weight in gold. You should never underestimate your opponents. Results like this could potentially knock you out of the Champions League at the end of the year.

I didn't expect that Torino's first win of the season in the third week would ultimately earn them three points by defeating AS Roma with a narrow score of 1-0. I was quite surprised by the result because I had bet on AS Roma to win. Despite the fact that, based on the match statistics, AS Roma dominated in every aspect—both in ball possession and the number of attacks—it was unfortunate that they failed to capitalize on the opportunities they had, and ended up conceding to Torino in the second half.

Similarly, in the Lazio vs. Sassuolo match, I bet on a 2-0 win for Lazio, but instead, Lazio lost the match 1-0 and returned home empty-handed. Meanwhile, for the Milan vs. Bologna match, I was quite fortunate because I bet on Milan.

Hope Gasp aware with his club's main problem and stop to put Dybala as a false nine. I will be the first to call him as a dumb coach if he repeats the same thing in europe. His club looked so toothless, and no creativity from upfront. Just send Dybala and Soule back to their best position, and stop to experimenting by putting them upfront.

I'm with you very disappointed with their performance. Waited for two weeks just to see them showed horrendous performance. What a waste of time!
