Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[hyudien]

oh boy.

Next week big match incoming.
Juventus will face AC Milan sunday evening I guess.

After a long time Milan and Rabion will be in Turin as an enemy, strage feeling.

I think this match will be fierce because both teams are ready to win, and I see their points in the standings are only 1 point apart, if Juve wins, they will immediately overtake Milan position and vice versa if Milan wins, those 3 points can make them comfortable at the top for a while Oh I forgot Rabiot is a former Juve player. This will be his first reunion but as enemies, it will be interesting how Rabiot helps Milan.

oh boy.

Juventus will face AC Milan sunday evening I guess.

After a long time Milan and Rabion will be in Turin as an enemy, strage feeling.

Last season, AC Milan was unable to secure a victory over Juventus, with the first leg ending in a draw when AC Milan played at home, while in the second leg, AC Milan suffered a crushing 2-0 defeat to Juventus.

In the first leg this season, the two teams will meet again in week six, with Juventus playing at home. So far, both teams have performed quite well, and Juventus is one of the teams that has been undefeated in their last five matches in Serie A. However, in terms of points, AC Milan is slightly ahead, with only one point separating them. So this match will be quite crucial. If AC Milan loses at Juventus' home ground, it will be a nightmare for AC Milan as they will lose their position at the top of the standings for a while.

This is the thing that i don't like from Conte. He started to put the blame on KDB after he saw his player gave bad reaction after being subbed off against Milan. Honestly, if i were KDB, i would be thinking my club could equalize or even win the game as long as keep the intensity against 10 men.
I was thinking like that caused by his club was still stand with 11 men. It's a dumb decision to decrease the pressure toward the opponent who played with less men. It's getting worsen when how he blamed people who get subbed off.

Last season, AC Milan was unable to secure a victory over Juventus, with the first leg ending in a draw when AC Milan played at home, while in the second leg, AC Milan suffered a crushing 2-0 defeat to Juventus.

In the first leg this season, the two teams will meet again in week six, with Juventus playing at home. So far, both teams have performed quite well, and Juventus is one of the teams that has been undefeated in their last five matches in Serie A. However, in terms of points, AC Milan is slightly ahead, with only one point separating them. So this match will be quite crucial. If AC Milan loses at Juventus' home ground, it will be a nightmare for AC Milan as they will lose their position at the top of the standings for a while.

This season AC Milan’s performances are quite impressive compared to their last season’s performances, and that’s why all this while they’re trying to maintain their top of the table, as they have won almost all of their previous matches they’ve played so far, so in this case, this their upcoming matches against Juventus, I expect them to get the best result in the match.

However, I can see most of the teams that suffered a lot last season in this Series A are now in good form this season; this proves that every team is well prepared for the title. Let’s look at the Roma performances this season. Their performances are also incredible. They also share the same points with Milan and Napoli, and that’s why I’m expecting the league to be a tough one this season.

[sana54210]

Actually, I didn't expect such a quality performance from Milan against Napoli. Milan played very well and showed more experience in their attack than Napoli. This was why they could score two goals without any problem from Napoli defense. However, I enjoyed the match as both sides had a brilliant display. Milan will be a strong nut to crack this season.

To be fair, Milan is the leader of the league right now. Which tells you, even before the game started, if a team is good enough to be the leader when they win, that means they must be a decent team. And that is exactly what happened, so we shouldn't be shocked. I still believe that it is going to take a while for it to recover, but it also doesn't really mean that we are going to end up with Napoli losing out right away and just crash.

Sure Napoli lost here, but they will do much better afterwards so Milan's job is not easy to keep that place. Milan will need to play exactly like this, without much trouble, in order to keep their position, otherwise it is not going to be good at all, it is going to be something tough for all.

You're right. Juventus vs AC Milan always a special match. And that one-point gap highlights how decisive this game could be for both teams.
Rabiot will be facing his former club in Turin for the first time as an opponent adds a personal storyline. I think both sides have the quality and motivation, so we can expect an intense, balanced game on Sunday evening.

[Tmoonz]

And Milan really won... I still believed in Napoli to make the comeback during the game honestly. Especially that red card and the penalty goal raised my hopes even more! But it ended sadly for my parlay.  

I'll give Allegri that really. His team is getting better for sure. I denied it before the game but now I accept it. Beating Conte's team while you are playing with 10 players isn't an easy task to perform. Not only that though. Milan are at the top of the standings now.

I usually do say that AC Milan success this season will not be heavily based on players but rather would be base on the experience of the manager that they have. Aside Allegri in terms of experience I don’t see anyone other manager going toe to toe with this Antonio Conte. In terms of squad depth I do think Napoli has a better team at the moment but if Allegri should be consistent they could be heading back to the top

My surprise this season was supposed to be Juventus but they Keep on droping unnecessary points when the real competition hasn’t really started. I see three clubs already on same point at the top of the table while only three points separates the first to seventh position in the league. This is usually how this league starts, let’s see how it will be by the time 15 plus matches then the table will most definitely start to take shape

Let's be realistic here AC Milan and Napoli team aside,
Coach Allegri and coach Antonio conte facing each is quite a clash of the titans, they're both good at what they does but Allegri was the fortunate one that very day, let's keep lukaku aside because even if he's present on that very game they will still lose, because what other evidence do we need to know that luck was on their side imagine playing Antonio conte's team with a man down yet still win the game it's very much impressive and a well deserved win.

[Baki202]

Milan needs to win the game against Juventus not only because is a "derby" and a match between the big teams from Italy but because it can show how strong they are right now after defeating Napoli they need to show it was not luck or only a good game, and to also show for what they are aiming for in the season.

And since Milan is the one is the one topping the chart and there performance is obviously give who is going to win the match because since they are the one leading but that is not enough because they are just leading Juventus with just one point.

The truth is that I believe games like this should be avoided because there is too much uncertainty and it is better to watch the game for enjoyment rather than to profit from it. Juventus is another team that plays tactically, but A.C. Milan cannot be undervalued. They can also earn equal points by playing draw. The fact that Ac Milan beat Napoli just indicates that Juventus must exercise extreme caution, but it does not preclude Juventus from defeating them. Therefore, this is the limit of what may happen, and the winner will truly be between them.

Milan is finally starting to play some decent games, and we're talking about Napoli, so they're not a team to be underestimated.
As a fan, I'm certainly happy; as an athlete, it was a good match, and Napoli played some great plays.
Milan is finally starting to show their true aggressive side, and I hope they maintain it.

Now they need to continue their good form. If they manage to keep the morale high within the team, they could be title contenders this season. There are teams with better players, but for now, those teams are underperforming.

So Milan need to ride the momentum and build a lead of a few more points. If they do that, they might have a real chance to stay in the race until the end. I'd really love to see Modrić lifting the Scudetto.

Milan chances of winning the Scudetto are wide open this season because they are solely focused on the domestic league, as they are not in the Europa League. Milan started the season poorly after losing to a newly promoted team, but they slowly began to recover and peaked after defeating Napoli.

Interestingly Milan defeated Napoli with 10 men starting in the 57th minute. This certainly proves that Milan is improving this season especially with the addition of experienced midfielders like Modric. This was evident when Milan were short of players, but Napoli were unable to turn the score around. This victory ended Napoli's four match winning streak, while Milan retook top spot from Napoli. This victory also boosted Milan's confidence ahead of their next match against Juventus.

What a wonderful performance, italian club Atalanta are still undefeated in the new season's Serie A league, meaning they are performing consistently, likewise today they had an impeccable performance in the second match of the UEFA Champions League as we observed that this undefeated team from the Italian league defeated the Belgian club. Although the Club Brugge Football Club opened the scoring from the first half at the Gewiss Stadium but in the end, the momentum of this UCL game completely fell into the hands of the Italian club Atalanta. My idea Atalanta were very promising after losing to defending champions PSG in their first UEFA Champions League match, even it is true that they had a strong determination that they would definitely turn things around with a win against Club Brugge in the second UEFA Champions League match.

Their plan was clear, to attack as much as possible. So they took 20 shots and managed to hit 3 targets. Of these, they managed to convert 2 shots into goals. Atalanta chose an attacking plan instead of possession at home and fought hard to win. On the other hand, Club Brugge looked good in possession but took very few shots and even failed to hit the target. They attacked only 2 times and scored 1 goal, which was not enough to win.

Look, the match was a normal match between two strong teams, but it wasn't a match dominated by Napoli; in fact, Napoli is playing quite mediocrely.
I also think that Napoli is strong but this year Serie A is full of strong teams that can make the difference.

[katanic97]

Without a doubt, Allegri did an excellent job, to say the least. But it must be said that luck was also on their side. David Neres shot that hit the post and Maignan’s brilliant saves were outstanding. Now Milan, Napoli, and Roma all have 12 points, with Juventus right behind them on 11. From what i can see, this will be an exciting season, and it’s only just begun.

Allegri was sacked by Juventus last season and he actually wants to use this first season with AC Milan for proving how wrong Juventus was about him. AC Milan don't have too many star players like they had in the past but their squad is good and with Allegri, if things go smoothly, AC Milan can repeat success of Napoli last season with Conte, winning Scudetto. If they can do it, winning Scudetto, it's also a revenge of Allegri against Juventus sack months ago.

I don’t know if that can really happen. I believe Milan’s main focus is Serie A since they aren’t playing in European competitions, so it’s definitely easier for them to be 100% focused. On the other hand, Allegri, as a fantastic coach, can win titles even without "star" players. We’ll see, it’s still the beginning of the season. Milan wasn’t much better in this match against Napoli for us to be that confident about them. For me, just like last season, the favorite is still Napoli.

It is early to declare a single team as the strongest one, judging by the season start the performances tend to stabilise after some several months. The European rain had continuously favoured Milan, but their results against Napoli were not with the conviction to absolutely warrant confidence. Juventus should not lack underestimation either because so far Allegri has shown to be a skilled manager in guiding his employees in the right direction using few resources. I believe, it will not be anymore till the middle of the season before we will be able to decide who really benefits the most. The collective quality is still good in Napoli, hence it is only natural that they are the favourites, the fact that does not dismiss Milan nor Juventus.

[TelolettOm]

Meanwhile, other strong teams are currently busy with the Champions League. For example, Inter Milan and Atalanta have UCL matches today. And tomorrow, Napoli and Juventus also have UCL matches scheduled. And perhaps this is what has caused Napoli to lose their concentration in Serie A.

The results of this Champions League match for Atalanta and Inter Milan were quite satisfactory, with both clubs securing solid wins.
Atalanta 2 vs. 1 Club Brugge
Inter Milan 3 vs. 0 Slavia Prague

Yes, Inter Milan didn't experience the slightest problem against Slavia Prague. In fact, it seemed like there was no resistance at all. Slavia Prague simply had very few chances to beat Inter, and Inter was able to ward them off very well.

Source: Inter win 3-0 at home!

Milan's first advantage is that they aren't playing in the European Cup, and at least Allegri and his players are able to capitalize on this opportunity to pick up points and not waste them in every match. We can see that Napoli, AS Roma, and Juventus are still strong, and Napoli is still the favorite to win the title this season.

Allegri sometimes missed crucial matches when he was in charge of Juventus, and I hope Allegri can prove those doubters wrong and lead AC Milan to a successful Scudetto this season.

The points gap between these four clubs is only a small difference and anything can change, so what I said at the beginning is that Milan must stay focused on each match, so as not to waste matches that should have earned them full points but instead end up losing important points.

The win against Napoli boosted the players' confidence, and in turn, we see hope for AC Milan this season in their title challenge. Not being involved in European competitions should make AC Milan much more focused in their pursuit of the Scudetto this season, although it won't be easy for them because the competition will certainly be quite fierce. It's too early to make any judgments because there are still many matches to play, and this also relates to the team's consistency in maintaining wins, so their chances are even greater.

Yes, under Allegri's coaching, I see that Milan will have a good performance again. Because I see that currently Milan is very different from the previous season, where Milan was really slumped at that time. So with that, I think currently we should not underestimate Milan, because after all, they are a team hungry for a title. So as long as Milan can maintain its performance consistently this season, I think Milan does have a chance to become champions in Serie A.

Because for now, if we compare between Milan's performance and Napoli's performance, I think it can be said that currently it is quite balanced and even tends to be superior to Milan. So that's why in this match Milan was able to beat Napoli with full confidence. Moreover, if for example this season Milan is able to win the Scudetto, it will certainly be an immeasurable joy for Modric. Because this season he joined Milan. So if in his first season at Milan he can lead Milan to become champions in Serie A, I think that will be a perfect achievement before finally retiring from the world of football.

[pewboy]

simply think that Napoli didn't have any luck. They attacked and had really good chances, while Milan barely held on but still managed to get the win. I watched the match and closely followed Modric that man is everywhere on the pitch. Toward the end, he was even playing as a center back and was literally creating play from the defense.Napoli, on the other hand, wasn't complete in defense. They were missing Boguirono and Spinazola, and in my opinion also Vanja Milinkovic Savicin goal. Meret isn't bad, but i think Vanja is better.
I will not think too much about the final result of this match and it must be admitted that Napoli played very well and also they have a pretty good attack but AC Milan also has a good defense so AC Milan really deserved to win the match and it was not because of luck, they played a better strategy that made them win the match.

Without a doubt, Allegri did an excellent job, to say the least. But it must be said that luck was also on their side. David Neres shot that hit the post and Maignan's brilliant saves were outstanding. Now Milan, Napoli, and Roma all have 12 points, with Juventus right behind them on 11. From what i can see, this will be an exciting season, and it's only just begun.

Yes, I also think that the season is exciting this year, there are many teams, all interested in winning, and I must say that they are practically all there, one step away from each other and in one way or another they will all compete, I was amazed by Milan who are having a pretty good run, up to now I have to say that they are the best

AC Milan's comeback was incredible. Napoli, Juventus and Inter Milan were considered the favorites for the title this season. But now AC Milan is at the top of the table. After the change of coach, we can see the complete change in Milan's performance. Milan's performance is now very stable. With the help of Allegri, the team is performing well. Milan is also benefiting from having an experienced player like Luka Modrich in the midfield. Modrich is now 40 years old, but when such a midfielder is in the squad, the players are more confident. Moreover, Modrich's fitness is still quite good.
