Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[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.

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.

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.

[bastisisca]

Napoli ain't a strong club without Lukaku. In fact, he's becoming the top scorer and top assists in their squad last season. For me, he's the main pivot of the team, and strange to see people ignore his importance for the squad. It's not surprised me when they looked toothless without him.

He might not score as much as Haaland, but he's good on/off the ball. I like the way he helped the club with his build up and occupying opponent defenders to hold the ball longer.

He's the one who gave club much confidence when attacking, and missing him is such a big lost.
I'm quite worried what exactly is going on, in this leagues I was actually hoping on Napoli to win this game but too sad they lost, and with this pattern of performance they can never defend the title as champions, at they got themselves beaten by Manchester City in the UEFA Champions League I was actually thinking maybe they had no focus on that trophy maybe they wanted to focus more on the Italian Seria A, but with this kind of results I'm certain they actually lost form, and I can't say it's because of lukaku because he doesn't play all the position so even if he's present they will still lose highest thing he can do is to maybe score goal and if he scores and their opponents out scored them that's equally same lost so I really think they have lost form in one way or the other and something has to be done.

More than anything, in my opinion, it's Antonio Conte's style of play: he tends to eat up the players' energy and as a result they get injured more often and need frequent substitutions.
It's no coincidence that he has already started asking for reinforcements that aren't arriving at all, sooner or later the game won't be as good as it was at the beginning because they don't give him new players.

[changaa]

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 Modri? lifting the Scudetto.

As a fan, I can say that AC Milan is finally making me proud. Sure, they still have a long way to go to get back to the good old days, but at least they've emerged from that dormant phase that was making me sick.
We're now starting to see some good plays, precise moves, aggressive moves to put the opposition under pressure in short, their character has emerged.
Perhaps it's too early to talk about a Scudetto, but it would certainly be nice to see Modri? do it.

This thing has been quite impressive this season and if all the teams play with the same or better performance then we will see very tough and excellent matches in this league which will be very useful and interesting for us this season. It is their hard work and performance which sometimes makes them good and sometimes bad and if they play with consistent hard work then they will be successful in the same place. They are improving their mistakes of the previous season which is obligatory for them because if they do not improve in this then they will fail and their fans may also get angry with them.

[banana33]

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.

If Milan were to maintain this determination, I would say that they can easily stay at the top of the table for a long time to come. I would say that they have nothing to worry about, while it is true that Juventus have had all the tough matches, but have collected a lot of draws, which does not bode well for them.

[pewboy]

The issue is simple: Kevin De Bruyne is a footballer and Antonio Conte is the manager. If the manager decides that you, the player, must leave the pitch to make way for a substitute, you leave, say goodbye and thank him.
Footballers have been whingeing superstars for years now. Instead of thinking about being professionals, they just complain, and it is the fans who pay to see these scenes who lose out.

The coach absolutely controls the team from a technical standpoint. Otherwise, if a coach doesn't have the power to decide who plays and who sits on the bench, what role would he have in the team?
Scenes like this one involving Kevin de Bruyne and Antonio Conte are absolutely to be avoided in the sports world; fans and enthusiasts don't need to see these scenes.

[changaa]

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.

exactly and that was what the team needed, this was an excellent test to see if the team is actually ready to challenge the big teams both at national and international level as in Europe, it is much more difficult there but it seems that they are fully aware that they can do it.

[m4r1o]

Serie A has always been so competitive in the first few games. The strange thing is that there are some unusual teams at the top. In other years, it was difficult to see and think that Milan could do what they're doing this year. They're there and fighting with the strongest teams in the league. Allegri is giving the team an extra boost.

I'm very pleased that there are some unusual teams this season. Atalanta is playing some good games this year and is pushing hard.
Finally, a good movement is emerging to provide us with entertaining matches and some opportunities for gamblers.
Milan under Allegri seems to have awakened from a long slumber; let's see if they can stay awake.

[Volgastallion]

Very nice for Inter to had played in tuesday, this give them some more rest thinking in the weekend ahead of SerieA, they need to improve in the domestic tournament, they cant keep in this behavior if they really want to fight for championship.

Milan until now is the big surprise, lets see if they can also beat Juventus now in this round.

[banana33]

Now you will see that the real Antonio Conte with his hair done, the crybaby who always blames others will come out
He won't take responsibility and will blame it on the fact that Lukaku got injured and they don't buy him players.

how much do we want to bet?

You painted Antonio Conte as a crying baby, poor thing. I don't think he doesn't take responsibility, but Lukaku's injury is still significant. Why are you missing a player who is so important to the team? Who would you replace him with? Pretend you're the coach. Who would you put in? Would you take responsibility?
It's not easy, guys. Let's put ourselves in their shoes for once.

It was indeed a smooth sail for Inter Milan, I can remember mentioning to a friend at I usually do not advocate expression of certainty on games but for this I am definitely going  to do that, I was certain to a very large extent that Inter were going  to win and not just a wain but by performance, they did outplayed Prague so it was a very much deserving win for them and I really love it how they won with having much stress and just like some seasons ago, I will love to have them in the champions league finals this season again.

[bastisisca]

I am a Milan fan and I am happy that after years in which everything was going badly, Milan is finally raising its head again
It was hard to see my team reduced to this state and to this day I still don't understand why this happened.
I think no one understood it, not even them

It's a good thing that the Milan is gradually getting themselves back to the good old ways they were a very good team in the past but lost the strength in the team and they have to face a major swt back in their performance but this season looks like they have found their missing key and they are taking back all the losses they have suffered and they are beating the big teams one after the other. They were better than Napoli in the game and they scored 2 goals held it tight and defended well when they were reduced to 10 men it shows how strong they have become their is a good thing for AC Milan and her fans.
Yes, it's true. I'm amazed by the way Milan plays and the way Allegri is making them play is exceptional. I don't think they'll win the Scudetto, but they can definitely finish in the top 5.
The match against Napoli was important to understand their level and honestly it is very high.

Milan's performance is improving with each match, and as team chemistry improves, it will improve even further. They managed to win a tough match. They played with 10 men from the 57th minute onward, and playing with one less player against Napoli is no easy feat.

Some matches reveal a team's true strength. This match was one of them. The team is starting to remember its true strength.

Yes, Milan has finally raised its head, it took an emergency specialist like Massimiliano Allegri to patch up a team in total disarray, last year i don't remember how many players he changed, so many and perhaps definitely too many.
Now they should at least play decently

[bitgolden]

More than anything, in my opinion, it's Antonio Conte's style of play: he tends to eat up the players' energy and as a result they get injured more often and need frequent substitutions.
It's no coincidence that he has already started asking for reinforcements that aren't arriving at all, sooner or later the game won't be as good as it was at the beginning because they don't give him new players.

Marcelo Bielsa was something like that basically. He was making players run at 100% all game long, which when they can do gives them a boost because no other team plays with 100% since they would be too tired. So Napoli hopes to score and then lay back and park the bus after they already scored and just counter attack. But if they don't, the players gets super tired and they need to be subbed out.

Even worse part is that when the league gets to near the end, results starts to be bad, worse than start, remember last year how they lost many points at the last 10 or so weeks, but because Inter also lost, Napoli got lucky and won. So, if you follow them close enough and do better at last games, you can easily beat them.
