Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[G_Besar]

Inter Milan's strength has indeed been much more stable in recent seasons, but they are still quite difficult to win the Scudetto. If Inter Milan wants the Scudetto, they must perform consistently until the end of the season, because if they can't do that, several other teams will open the way for the trophy. Milan also can't be underestimated this season, as they are one of Napoli's strongest challengers and have so far managed to top the standings with 12 points, although Napoli themselves have the same number of points after five matches.

Napoli is currently back at the top of the standings thanks to the draw between Juventus and Milan. However, Napoli is still trailing Roma by the same number of points, so Napoli must maintain consistent wins, as they did when they hosted Genoa. This season, the level of competition is very different, so every team already in the top four must be able to maintain their composure while trying to win the trophy. Because the five teams in the top standings are currently teams that have consistently performed well in Serie A.

[Belarge]

In my opinion, Hojlund is now at the right club to develop his talent, and the presence of De Bruyne has greatly helped him regain his best form. I think the two players make a very good combination for Napoli, which will make Conte job easier. The victory over Genoa has brought Napoli back to the top of the Serie A standings.

Rasmus Højlund have regained his credence back after netting in today's game and previous game. This is the reason why he came on live press to say Kelvin De Bruyne is one of the best midfielder in the world and with the Belgium international around, he wouldn't have to worry about banging goals for Napoli because that's essentially task to needs to be accomplish.

We've watch the extreme performance of Napoli this season and they're sited on the top of the Seria A. Napoli headcoach have something to do with winning the Scudetto this season and it's main target for this particular team considering the players to be productive and ready for the big change and challenge this season.

I think the two players make a very good combination for Napoli, which will make Conte job easier. The victory over Genoa has brought Napoli back to the top of the Serie A standings.

What you said is absolutely correct, because not only can both of them help Napoli with their contributions, but they can also continue to develop their talents in the Italian League. The home win over Genoa proved that Hojlund is a good player and still capable of giving his best to the team, so Conte made no mistake in choosing him as his mainstay this season.

Napoli did well yesterday although I expected them to score more goals so they can get more points, right now they are on the same level with Roma and if they don't push hard this new week Roma might take the first position...I expected nothing less from Napoli even though they might not be in a good form I knew they would win , Genoa also did their best, I think they would have equalized if they had more time

[SilverCryptoBullet]

Really disappointed to see Juventus and Milan end in a draw. Honestly, that match was super boring, both teams were way too focused on defense and didn’t really push any serious attacks. Maybe neither side wanted to lose, so a draw ended up being the safest option.

Here’s the current standings,
Napoli
Roma
Milan
Inter
Juventus

The top 5 teams have been showing some solid improvement lately, and I feel like Inter is finally getting back to their best form. What do you guys think? Will Inter keep this consistency going, or are they gonna lose their rhythm soon?

Big clubs have all gradually recovered and returned to top positions with two exceptions: Lazio and Fiorentina. Lazio are still in better position than Fiorentina which is only right above a relegation zone. Fiorentina in a latest match with AS Roma, actually performed well but they were too unlucky, but with good performance like this, I believe that Fiorentina will soon recover and climb up in rank.

This is a first season after 11 years AS Roma stay at first position in Serie A, what an outstanding performance from Gasperini.

We've watch the extreme performance of Napoli this season and they're sited on the top of the Seria A. Napoli headcoach have something to do with winning the Scudetto this season and it's main target for this particular team considering the players to be productive and ready for the big change and challenge this season.

Napoli since the last season with Conte management have performed like a tank which is moving onward strongly and consistently. Conte so far has shown his excellent management for Napoli, from how he managed to gain success, win Scudetto with them without best player resource in Serie A. This season, even facing with a severe injury and long absence of Lukaku, Conte has still managed to lead Napoli to many wins so far.

Napoli did well yesterday although I expected them to score more goals so they can get more points, right now they are on the same level with Roma and if they don't push hard this new week Roma might take the first position...I expected nothing less from Napoli even though they might not be in a good form I knew they would win , Genoa also did their best, I think they would have equalized if they had more time

Napoli now are like a most fearful club in Serie A as they know how to beat opponents, have wins and three points in each match even they don't dominate the match. With Conte, Napoli don't aim at sexual attacking football but they only focus on results and maximize points they can get from each match. How they win it is not a big matter with Conte and this approach makes Napoli are truly dangerous for all clubs that are competiting for Scudetto and wanting to take it over from Napoli.

Good win by Napoli yet again I was scared they could be dropping point here when I expected them to actually get the win, Genoa have been really poor this season languishing in the relegation zone and that’s what actually made me to think that Napoli will get the win easily, but immediately Genoa wen ahead I was actually thinking maybe it was one of those upset days again but the second half performance from Napoli was superb to do the comeback.
Yet again Rasmus Hojlund have scored as many goals as he did last season at Manchester United which simply means that he is loving it there. My thought exactly is that the pressure that comes from been a Manchester United player has seriously reduced. From the report it is gathered that Napoli are looking to make this deal a permanent one for the main time as they intend to add €44m to the €6 of the loan deal to make it permanent

On the other hand Christian Pulisic blazed over a penalty that would have actually made the Milan team go same point with leaders Napoli and Roma, it was a bad penalty in my opinion and Milan seriously needs a penalty taker instead of giving it out to just anyone

[X-ray]

Milan team performed very badly in this match, they were not able to score goals even though they had enough chances to score, only bad attacks. And after halftime they had a penalty opportunity and missed that opportunity, Pulisic would send the penalty so badly outside the goalpost to the audience, it was never imagined, this match Milan team had a lot of people betting on it and most of them lost their bets and were heartbroken just because of missing the penalty.
If Pulisic could have scored the goal, then the next attacks would have been stronger and could have thrown them at Juventus team, because from the beginning Juventus team could not go into much attack, they just prevented the attacks of Milan team's attack department.

Agreed, Milan missed lots of chances to finish the game off. They could have won it in the end if they have better finishing. I never expected Pulisic to missed his pen, but he deserves no blame as sometimes it can happen to even the best player in the club. I know he costed them two points, but let's not destroy his mentality.

Apart from that draw is fair statistically. I meant they're not superior compared to the Juve, and this has to be their toughest game. It's good they still get 1 point, and not brea their winstreak from the last five games. I believe they can bounce back later.

[Gallar]

Yes, I didn't expect Inter to beat Cremonese by such a large score. As we know, Cremonese is a fairly strong team this season. Milan, currently at the top of the Serie A standings, was defeated by Cremonese earlier this season. So, with that in mind, I expected Inter to struggle in this match, but it didn't. In fact, Inter looked like they could easily win this match. So, with that in mind, I think Inter has the potential to return to the top of the standings. Inter currently has the same number of points as Milan, who are at the top of the standings, with 12 points. However, Inter is currently lacking in terms of goal productivity and other factors, which is why they currently sit in fourth place in the Serie A standings. But with Inter's current form, I think they will be able to top the standings again sooner or later. So, let's just wait and see.

Furthermore, regarding the match between Atalanta and Como, the result ended in a draw. So, in this match, Atalanta completely failed to secure the full three points. Furthermore, it seems Atalanta won't be as strong as they were in previous seasons this season. Their current form appears to be weakening. This is likely due to the departure of several key players and their coach, Gasperini. Because if, for example, players like Retegui are still there and Gasperini is still the coach at Atalanta, I am sure Atalanta will be a great team again this season.

It wasn't a given that Inter would be able to win against Cremonese, a team that had performed very well up until now.
This demonstration of strength, in my opinion, is more for the other teams and the fans than for Cremonese itself.
I honestly don't know if it's a classic flash in the pan or a comeback in style for Inter, only the next few matches will be able to make us understand this..

Yes, I also don't know whether this win against Cremonese will be a true turning point for Inter. It's true that judging based on just one match isn't accurate. Inter could win this match and then lose again in the next. Therefore, looking at Inter's upcoming matches will certainly provide a more accurate assessment. Because in the upcoming match, Inter will face a team much stronger than Cremonese: Roma. So, in this match, we will see Inter's true performance. Because Roma is certainly a strong team, and it will be great to be able to test Inter's true performance.

But even so, I still hope that Inter will truly bounce back this time. Because it would be a bit less exciting if Inter didn't participate in the Scudetto title race this season. So, that's why I really hope Inter can truly recover from its current slump. But if for example Inter loses to Roma in the upcoming match, it means that it can be concluded that Inter's performance has not really recovered and maybe they will not be able to compete optimally this season and all Inter fans must be able to accept that.

We're talking about two teams at opposite ends of the spectrum!
One (Inter) was playing in the Champions League final a few months ago, the other (Cremonese) was playing in the Serie B play-offs a few months ago.
To be honest, I think the 4-1 result is fair. I'm more interested in how Milan managed to lose to Cremonese on the first day of the season.!

[ajanwalker]

Despite playing away, Milan were the side that missed out on victory. Juventus' most memorable clear-cut chance came in the 47th minute through Gatti, but Gatti deflected his shot over the keeper. His shot from 2 meters deflected off the head of goalkeeper Maignan, who made a brilliant save.
Pulusic took a penalty in the 53rd minute, but he tipped the ball over the target.
Milan also created several clear-cut chances through Leao, but Leao's finishing touches were poor.
Milan, with their style of play, appear to be the team closer to the title. Of all the teams that have played the highest quality football so far, Milan are at the top of the table. That's how I see it.

[Agbe]

In my opinion, Hojlund is now at the right club to develop his talent, and the presence of De Bruyne has greatly helped him regain his best form. I think the two players make a very good combination for Napoli, which will make Conte job easier. The victory over Genoa has brought Napoli back to the top of the Serie A standings.

Lukaku injury has given Hojlund the opportunity to continue playing as a starter, and I think Napoli should consider making his move from Manchester United permanent at the end of the season. Overall, Napoli transfer policy last summer was quite good, they achieved instant results that have made it easier for them to pursue the Scudetto this season.

Yes bro. Højlund actually looks like a new man since he joined Napoli. You can just tell that he is way more comfortable there, you can see the confidence, the hunger, that he is showing. And also having De Bruyne behind him is like a cheating strategy. Because that guy just knows how to feed strikers with those accurate passes, and Højlund’s movement fits perfectly with that. I would also say that Conte also deserves some credit, he’s using Højlund the right way. You can see the big difference in how he positions himself and links up with the midfield. Plus, with Lukaku out injured, it’s giving him all the playing time he needs to grow himself more. Napoli don’t just buy names, they got players that actually fit the system. The team looks more balanced and dangerous this season, and you can already see the kind of vibe there are bringing in together. And if they keep this up, they might push to what no one expects of them.

Serie A results for Week 6.



The competition in the standings is quite tight, with Napoli and Roma currently leading, followed by Milan, Inter and Juventus. I've been focusing on Milan performance and am quite pleased that they've returned to being contenders under Allegri. It's just a shame they had to share points with Juventus in the derby, which shouldn't have happened because they had plenty of opportunities to take all three points. Regardless, overall, I'm confident that Milan can secure a good finish to the season. Oh and one more thing: Inter have returned to winning ways after a stuttering start to the season, which is probably a good sign for Chivu.

It's nice to see some good competition in Serie A as always. One pleasant surprise is that Roma is taking things seriously and managing to play well from round to round, with only one loss in six games. In the next six matches, they’ll face two tough opponents (Inter and AC Milan) and four relatively easier ones. Hopefully, Roma continues the good work and becomes a title contender.

[Uhwuchukwu53]

This season seems to be very competitive in the Italian Seria A, most of the bigger teams seems to be very much in the form of their own, Inter Milan like I previously said will always be there, and Napoli who won the League last season will always be there fighting for the Scudeto trophy, you just mentioned Luka Modric who have been in fine form for AC Milan I’m quite surprised he is playing so good, for someone who is 40 years and playing in the highest level is just unbelievable because he has been in a good form and he seems to be carrying this AC Milan team because of the so much experience he has had previously in the team.

It will be more tasking to win scudeto this season looking at the competitiveness we find in the Seria A this season, both Inter Milan, AC Milan and Napoli are all in a very good form that they are all competing at an almost equal level and I would really want to see who eventually win the title this season, last season was not as competitive as this in the beginning of the season, untill towards the end of the season.

Yea this season is full with vibe of competition I will totally agree with $sweetne$$ that his afamentioned club and team will not give up as all are informed with a target of lifting the trophy though it will not be easy going because most of this matches meeting with this bigger team will be tough and may likely land in draw and if wining will be as narrow escape of the next team.

Napoli is currently back at the top of the standings thanks to the draw between Juventus and Milan. However, Napoli is still trailing Roma by the same number of points, so Napoli must maintain consistent wins, as they did when they hosted Genoa. This season, the level of competition is very different, so every team already in the top four must be able to maintain their composure while trying to win the trophy. Because the five teams in the top standings are currently teams that have consistently performed well in Serie A.

The battle for the Serie A title is fierce. Roma, AC milan , Juventus, Inter milan and napoli are currently  fighting for the title. And it is still uncertain which team will be able to continue their good performance and  stay at the top of the table. Roma and Napoli are  now level on points.

Inter Milan's performance has been poor since the beginning  of the season. But in the last three matches we have seen excellent performance from Inter Milan and Inter Milan has won all three  matches.
Juventus has drawn in the last three matches. Like last season, Juventus' situation is  similar this season too. Juventus' defense is strong but their attack is weak. On the other hand, Roma is now in second place in the table with 15 points. Roma has conceded only 2 goals in 6 matches.

[yenerbatmaz]

Competition in the Italian League will be fierce this year.
Roma's performance surprised me.
I have no idea if the team can maintain this consistency.
Milan is playing good football. Yesterday, Milan were the strong side against Juventus.
Napoli appears to be the biggest favorites for the title, but Kevin De Bruyne seems poised to disrupt the team's rhythm.
His reactions after being substituted can sometimes cause problems later on.

[SatoPrincess]

Milan vs Juventus is quite a tough game but I will still give it to Juventus, they're both okay for this season but base on performance and desperation I'd say Juventus will win, Milan will definitely put up a good fight but can't scale through, although the Italian Seria A is never clear as many of this team are not yet consistent in winning but I'm quite sure Juventus will have this three points, and for Napoli they've got more lost than winning in their recent games so I don't think they will like to keep it that way this weekend so it's still a possibility for Napoli to bag the three points home.

Both sides yesterday proved they are much better in terms of performance this season. Both teams executed tactically well and stopped either side from scoring in the game. This is how top teams should perform, one point collected by both sides wasn’t a bad one in the end.

That is the thing about teams getting a draw. Not all the time, but sometimes there is one team happy to get the draw and the other team unhappy to get the draw. In this case, Juventus got lucky to get a point, and Milan got unlucky to get a point.

In normal case, Milan looked like they deserved the win a lot more and should not be all that complicated to think that they would do a fine job with this and could make some great return from it. I understand it may not be easy to handle all of this, of course it's a tough one and should not be ok for anyone to look like this is going to take a while. But when you consider all of this together, we should feel like Milan players are upset about the draw probably, it's obvious.

[HajiBagi]

Milan team performed very badly in this match, they were not able to score goals even though they had enough chances to score, only bad attacks.

Ac Milan's performance in the match was very poor and if it hadn't been for the goalkeeper, they would have conceded more than two goals, Despite the fact that the match was very tough, and I expected it to be tough because both teams are in good shape and capable of defeating each other, Ac Milan had the opportunity to win the match, but they failed to take advantage of the penalty, after Pulisic missed the penalty, I knew the match would end in a draw because Ac Milan did not perform well in the match.

Juventus is not a serious team, otherwise, they would have won the match by using home advantage to perform well and defeat Ac Milan. Napoli is currently leading the league table after Ac Milan failed to win against Juventus. When people began to believe that Ac Milan could win a trophy this season, I was still doubting because they always play poorly at times.

Napoli has returned to the top of the league with the same number of points as Roma. They might have lead by point differential, but they lost their last two games against AC Milan, despite the fact that the opponent was down to ten men. I expected the loss to make it tough for them to return to the top of the table; but they were able to do so after fighting back against Genoa. AC Milan, and Juventus draw to remain two points behind Napoli.

On the other hand, Pulisic missed a penalty that would have given them the lead against Juventus, sadly, he missed and they had to share the points with the hosts. I'm not sure if Roma will be able to compete for the league title this season, I don't think they're a strong enough team to do so. Their performance seems unexpected, and we don't know how long they will maintain this momentum.

I love the competition I am seeing in the Serie A this season, I will not be surprised to see Napoli fall back in the following week because the point difference is not even there, they are ahead by goals difference of which Roma may likely beat if Napoli is not keen on increasing it, my concerns has been mostly with Inter who are struggling to be on the top 4, hopefully they do not end at the position they are now eventually.
