Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Just Say]

Juventus is trying in every way to get back to winning ways, but they have had a significant decline in recent years, now they are trying to recover and little by little they are succeeding, I must say that their tenacity is surprising me more and more and I am happy for them, certainly seeing an Italian team dominate in Europe would not be bad, having even more than one would be better.

Juventus have made every effort to get back on track, and I think they came back somewhat successful in that regard in the UEFA Champions League. In this Champions League match, the Italian club tried to be so dominant that the time gap between their first goal and the second goal was very short and Borussia Dortmund was cornered by their many attacking options. We all saw that this team has won three consecutive matches in the Italian league and they have boosted their morale from the epic first match of the UEFA Champions League. The result of the match between Borussia Dortmund and the Italian giants in the UEFA Champions League may be one of the rarest records in UCL history because in this match, both teams scored so many goals after the break.

easy wins for INTER and Psg this evening.

However, Ajax actually put up a pretty good fight, but they were only good at ball possession, even leading the way in possession compared to Inter Milan. However, Inter had much stronger and more effective attacks and finishing. So, of the 14 shots and 4 shots on goal. Thuram scored two goals in this match, he was brilliant. His attack was powerful, and he scored two goals in just over five minutes.

I won't say Ajax played well. They failed to dominate in the home match. Ajax players managed to take only 7 shots in the entire match. There were only 2 on target shots. Such a performance in a home match cannot be considered a good performance.

Inter Milan tried to score from the beginning of the match. The team took the lead by scoring goals in the last minute of the first half and at the beginning of the second half. Both goals were scored by Marus Thuram and two assists were made by Hakan Calhanoglu. Inter Milan's overall gameplay was very organized in this match. Inter Milan's players did not give Atalanta a chance to attack strongly.

Inter Milan gave their full effort in this match. We saw the same last season. Their only target was the Champions League matches. But it is very risky. Inter Milan could not win any title last season only because of giving full effort in the Champions League matches. Although their performance in Serie A has been erratic this season, they have played brilliantly in the Champions League matches.

Djarum really wants Como to do great I agree that they are acting way too fast. A team that hasn't been good at all in all of its history, suddenly becoming a top team is impossible, no matter how much money you put into it. By comparison, Newcastle is now owned by SAUDI KING himself, literally  a king, as in owner of a whole freckling nation, and think of all the oil money.

And yet, look at how Newcastle is doing, and you will understand that you are not going to get what you want out of this. It's just not possible and because of that we can definitely assume that Como will fail to be near the top too. Maybe in 5 years, then they will have slowly gone better, only if they keep spending same amount of money of course.

Yes, if a team has abundant finances, I think it can certainly make a football team very great. As long as the money is really spent on the right players. Because if you buy players who are not good, I don't think the results will be good for the team. Furthermore, it's not just the players that must be considered, but the training facilities, the quality of the coach, and also the staff must be really good as well. So that way, I'm sure the results will be much better. Also speaking about Como, I think this team does have quite abundant financial resources, so if they intend to improve Como, I think they certainly can, as long as they can manage the funds they have well.

Because basically, money alone will not be enough to make a football team perform well. And as you said, Newcastle is currently controlled by the Saudi king, and certainly his finances are far more abundant than any other team. But the reality is that Newcastle has not been able to achieve striking achievements to date. So, with that in mind, I think it's clear that money isn't the only thing that can transform a team into a great one. Nevertheless, I hope Como can progress and become a great team. After all, the team's owner is from my country.

Since the last season, Marcus Thuram shown his considerable growth at Inter Milan and he has become a key player in the club as well as one of most dangerous striker in Serie A. Marcus Thuram is young and he is the future of both Inter Milan and his national team France and these winning goals for Inter Milan in this match is another impressive personal show of Marcus. He is on the rise to take a solid position in French national team when World Cup 2026 will happen next summer.

Inter Milan gave their full effort in this match. We saw the same last season. Their only target was the Champions League matches. But it is very risky. Inter Milan could not win any title last season only because of giving full effort in the Champions League matches. Although their performance in Serie A has been erratic this season, they have played brilliantly in the Champions League matches.

It's understandable after they got bad first matches in Serie A and Chivu needs a win to reduce presssure on the team and himself. They already finished a first match in UEFA Champions League well with three points and now it's time to return to fitness recovery, training and preparation for next matches in Serie A. Inter Milan might not win Scudetto in this season but Chivu needs acceptable performances and rank in Serie A to secure his coach position.

It happened that Juventus fought so hard against Inter Milan to get a win in the last minute of the game which ended 4-3 and they showed that same fighting spirit again in the champions league against Dortmund some days back and I wonder why haven't they used this same momentum to change the way they play against both the smaller and bigger side all these while? I must say that it was impressive to see that come back against Inter Milan because nobody expected it especially the late strike from Adzic, it was a breath taken moment and I believe if Juventus continue to push harder as they have been doing in the last 2 games I think they can stay up on the table for a longer period of time and they shouldn't always be the Old Ladies that we have known them for, at least they should play more of the attacking football and not to sit back against the bigger side, let them come out with so much aggressive style of play and the other teams will be mindful of how they attack and they'll defend more, that's to show that Juventus are dominating the game. Juventus should bring back those glorious days when they're number one back to back as champions.

Marcus Thuram has been demonstrating excellent individual quality since last season. He simply needs support and ball supply from midfield to create numerous chances. At his young age, I'm confident he will continue to develop.

I think Inter Milan's victory was quite reasonable, and there's still much to comment on, especially in terms of possession. Although Inter Milan played much more productively, they couldn't completely dominate the match, even though their overall quality was clearly much better and stronger than Ajax.

[Cryptmuster]

Juventus is really unpredictable this season who could believe this game would end draw last night, I almost gave up after Dortmund made it 2-4 I was like is this the Juventus that played against inter Milan last weekend but to my greatest surprise they made a good comeback to draw the game 4-4 after a 0-0 draw first half yet they produced 8 goals at last, hmm Juventus this season will be problem for the Italian team probably for the UEFA Champions League teams as well, they just have to be careful of them, and deep down I'm enjoying this.

I think that in the case of Juventus such matches are more like an exception, because they also played like this against Inter before, and Dortmund encourage teams to play openly and score many goals, they have done this with many teams. As for Serie A, I believe everything will depend on how well Napoli perform in the league and whether or not they will drop points. Because if Juventus continue conceding so many goals in other matches, I am not sure their attack will be able to handle it.

[Egii Nna]

Atletico close to recovery the game after conceding 2 goals in the first 10 minutes.

Atletico really tried their best to come back in the game, not until the last minute when Van Dijk scored the winning goal. It was a great performance from them, even though they lost the game, but at least they tried to prove themselves to Liverpool. Although it’s a good start for Liverpool, as they were able to secure their 3 points in the game, I was very amazed with the performance of Atletico Madrid. It was such a nice performance from them.

It could have really ended up by a disaster for Juventus though.    A loss like 4-2 at home would have been horrible for them. But I really liked the effort by Tudor's students.

Maybe they could be different this season. They look more productive recently by scoring 8 goals in 2 games. But they really need an improvement with their defending. I think especially their midfield isn't still strong enough.

[Altryist]

Yes, Juventus really performed well, they responded quickly when behind in the score, even when they were behind by 2 goals they were still able to catch up in just a little time, different from what was seen last season, it's just a shame you're right, they have problems in defense, Igor Tudor needs to fix this weak point so that Juve can really compete closely with Napoli and Inter in the fight for the Scudetto.

Yes, Juventus come back very well, and if we remember the match against Inter, they also had to come back, and they do it quickly, which is good. But the bad thing is that they concede so many goals. Conceding 3-4 goals in one match is too much for any team, and especially for Juventus, who on average used to concede one goal per match or even less. I understand that Tudor’s strategy may differ from other coaches’ strategies, and maybe he wants to make Juventus an attacking team.

Juventus has started scoring more, which is good, but we also shouldn’t forget about defense, because if they start conceding too much, it will be harder to compete with other teams. I think it’s too early to draw conclusions about this, let’s wait for the next few matches and see in what style Juventus continues to play.

[Charles-Tim]

t's wrong to blame Ronaldo for Juventus downfall because the same player scored above 100 goals for the club in just a few seasons which not many players achieved. Juventus used to sign top players that are getting to their old age, they sign players with experience before but now they changed to signing younger players which is something they are not used to so maybe that's what affected them but Cristiano Ronaldo was never their problem because he performed well.

I like the competition in the league now, It's now difficult to predict the winner of the league and it is now mostly decided at the end of the season.

You are wrong for making a post like this. I did not post that C. Ronaldo did not tried for Juventus but a big player like that will leave a club and the club may first suffer before they will later get themselves back up. That is the simple logic.

C. Ronaldo tried for Juventus but Juventus was better before more than 10 years before C. Ronaldo left there. Although, I understood that clubs like Inter and Napoli also competed financially with Juventus to get better players.

[Tmoonz]

Inter Milan did impress me last night, they actually gave what was expected of them against Ajax, yes we all knew they were not meeting up to expectations in the Italian Seria A based on their last two games in the league I was actually thinking maybe they will draw the game against Ajax, and on a second thought I wasn't expecting anything less than winning from inter Milan because I was so sure they can't lost straight 3 game , so I actually believe they will win last night game and they won, now let's look up to the league if this winning against Ajax can boost back their confidence in the league.

Yes, the attack is still active enough to contribute, and recent results suggest that Juventus only needs to improve their midfield, which must be ready to contribute fully to the attack when opponents apply increased pressure.
From the matches against Inter Milan and the Champions League match against Borussia Dortmund, it was clear that the attack is very good at looking for scoring opportunities, but Juventus' defense looks weak and needs more help from the midfield.
It seems Tudor needs to be more strict and improve this defense by providing tactics to the midfield, which must be adept at reading match conditions.

Marcus Thuram is a real certainty in this season of uncertainty.
For me, to be honest even though I'm an Inter fan, Ajax didn't play well. Let's say that between the two teams, the one who played less badly won. You know I'm very critical even when it comes to my own team.
Lillominato89 what do you think?

[pewboy]

This is the opposite of Juventus last season. That season, their defense was very strong but their attack was too weak. Now, they have a sharp attack but a poor defense. However, with the Serie A season only a few games underway, I'm confident they can overcome that weakness and compete fiercely for the Scudetto, as that's their only weakness right now.

Oh God, i didn't see the goal difference, but that's true. Last season, Juventus had a very strong defense, even going unbeaten for many, many days.
But that wasn't the problem, the problem was the really poor attack, if i remember correctly of course

Actually, I didn’t know what to expect from Ajax, since I don’t follow the Dutch league and I don’t really understand how good they are right now. As for Inter, I can agree with you that they are a bit disappointing in Serie A, but I was prepared for that after Inzaghi’s departure. The Champions League has so far shown that Inter are simply stronger than Ajax at the moment, but I’m not rushing to conclusions yet because there are still many games ahead and this is only the beginning of the group stage. In Serie A, I think Inter won’t be able to compete on the same level with Napoli and Juventus. I believe these two teams will be the ones to decide who gets the Scudetto, and maybe Milan will also join them, I hope so.

We've discussed Juventus' defensive issues in the past. It seems the Juventus coach wasn't too bothered by it. But now, this problem has emerged, conceding seven goals in a two match vs Inter 4-3 and Dortmund 4-4. This should be a major correction for Juventus. They once had Huijsen, a young star, but he was discarded in the Premier League, and now Huijsen is Madrid's mainstay. They should regret it. I'm also pleased with Juventus' mentality; they're always able to work hard to avoid defeat, and this was evident against Dortmund. They might be competitive in Serie A now, but they're not good for the UCL with a defense and physicality that always runs out in the final minutes.

I still remember how Juventus last season was perhaps judged to be playing too safely at the beginning of the season. This was because they had a lot of draws at the start of the season which were felt to be not good enough for their position in the standings. It is true that they were strong in defense but they were not productive in scoring goals. In fact, the same situation was experienced by Napoli last season, but Napoli earned more winning points, while Juventus had more draws. This season, hopefully they will be better.
