Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Frankolala]

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.

Of course, they're both equal to the task of drawing the match because of the quality they possess. Actually, I thought that one of them will be able to win the match. Of course, sharing point is the best since none of them made any mistakes that would have led to losing the match. Napoli has taken this opportunity to top the table.

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.

It's amazing how similarly Juventus plays against different opponents. I mean, if they play open football against Inter, they score and concede a lot of goals against them. If they play cautiously against Milan, even 0-0 results are repeated quite often. By the way for Juventus, this is five draws in a row in all competitions, it's starting to look like a pattern, and I think they had something similar last season. And I think Milan wouldn't be a bad fit if they drew away from home against Juventus.

The 0-0 draw between Juventus and AC Milan has caused a significant shift at the top of the Serie A standings this week. AC Milan has dropped to third place, while Juventus has fallen out of the top four. Napoli having secured full points against Genoa, has taken over the top spot, and AS Roma also managed to perfectly capitalize on momentum by defeating Fiorentina.

The competition in the top five of the Serie A standings has been extremely competitive so far, and in my opinion, Napoli will have to work hard to retain the Scudetto this season. Additionally, it is great to see Gasperini performing impressively with AS Roma, Claudio Ranieri has recommended the right person to replace his position.

The draw with Milan was not something I had honestly expected, I understand that Juventus is having a moment of crisis, but I would have expected at least a goal from them, I also understand that the boys still have a lot of desire to do, but it is not enough, Milan on the other hand played really well

I see the Italian league to be more competitive this season it will be hard to predict correctly which team that will win the tittle from the league table you will see that the points differences between Napoli, who is at the top and As Roma are equal in points 15 points follow by AC Milan who is has 13 points and Inter Milan and Juventus who has same points 12 each but i believe that any of these listed team will win the Italian Serie A tittle.

Yes is poor, it wasn't an easy match and Milan hasn't fully recovered its best form yet
so with Juventus recovering it could only end in a draw, I don't think there was room for anyone to win
clearly 0 - 0 I didn't see the match but it must have been boring as hell

Napoli make comeback win against Genoa to win 2-1 after the away team was leading 0-1 in tbe first half.
Manchester United formal forward Hojlund gave Napoli their winning goal his performance this season is fantastic i believe he lacks player like Kevin De Bruyne in Manchester United and i believe Kevin De Bruyne will make Hojlund a great a goal scorer.

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.

Napoli really played well in that match because, of course, Napoli was able to turn the situation around and secure a victory for themselves. To be honest, I had my doubts during the match about whether Napoli would be able to turn things around, but Napoli, a club with excellent players, ultimately managed to do so, resulting in a win against Genoa.

Hojlund truly performed exceptionally well in that match, ultimately securing Napoli's victory with his goal. Of course, Napoli is now in a favorable position because they have outstanding players like Hojlund and De Bruyne. Anguissa also played well, and his goal certainly boosted the morale of all Napoli players. Now, Napoli is at the top of the standings, which is certainly a great achievement. Of course, Conte will now find it easier to coach with such great players. In my opinion, it would be better to make Hojlund's move permanent at the end of the season, as he seems to fit well at Napoli. Now, Napoli just needs to remain consistent in winning if they want to secure the Scudetto.

They played like shit , common!
Even in the AcMilan sub I saw hundreds of comments on how people made fun of their clay legs and inability to finish something 99% done.
The way they played if the ball would have been on the line and with no defenders left Leao would have somehow managed to kick the ball out rather than in.

It was supposed to be a derby but turned out a disappointment, strictly speaking, on tactics and execution, is the worst game Milan has played in the last 5 matches.

Serie A results for Week 6.

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.

I'm also quite pleased to see such fierce competition starting to appear again in Serie A this season, and I hope Roma can make things difficult for the strong teams in the top four so that this fierce competition can continue until the end of the season. Juventus, Inter, and AC Milan have also started to improve, so they can all compete for the top spot currently occupied by Napoli, although Napoli is still quite strong this season under Conte.

Who would have thought that Roma would be ahead of inter this season, everyone thought that inter are now invincible based on how they performed last season but it's normal for any team to start declining in performance. Roma are doing well, I just hope they would be able to keep it up, Napoli are clearly struggling to be at the top, something tells me that they won't be occupying that position for long

Juventus needs to change something. They are not getting any better, doesn't mean they are bad, they are not bad at all and I really like the way they are playing but the fact is simple, they are not looking like they will win the league. It's been few years since they last won the title and looking at how they are doing right now it's clear that they are not really getting a better return at the moment.

We should be expecting them to get better year by year and yet they are not and that is causing them some trouble. We should be expecting them to stop trying for top four every single year, that is not enough and eventually they should fight for the title. Looks like even Milan got better in a year than Juventus did.

Exactly and the way they started this season you will almost think they are back this season but as they go on and play matches you will see that they are not actually ready to challenge for the scudetto again this season. Yesterday at home against AC Milan they really look poor especially in the final third, they don’t take chances at it will always have a big effect on their game negatively.

Milan would have stole all 3 points yesterday if Cristian pulisic had scored from the spot, and if I he had score I don’t see juventus coming back into the game.

Jonathan David is really not helping up front, he don’t look like the player we use to see in Lille, he miss a lot of chances, and always look very poor in positioning. Things needs to improve for juventus after the international break.

To become a contender for the Scudetto, Juventus must build better squad depth. Napoli, Inter Milan, and AC Milan spent heavily when the transfer window opened, while Juventus seemed to do very little in recent seasons.
I think that’s what has made Juventus struggle to compete at the top of the table, and it seems this season they will once again record many draws. Juventus might need to emulate Napoli transfer approach, signing star players cast off from the Premier League and turning them into productive performers in Serie A.

[DaNNy001]

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.

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.

It's been long the serie A experience such competition and that's because most of the big teams like Juventus and Roma haven't really lived up to the competition but that would be totally different this time around as all the team are very much in good shape and will fight very hard for the only one team to feel like they have won the league or a competition between only two teams

Yes, unfortunately, Juventus isn't doing very well, you can see it from the performances they're putting in. Up until now, there have been so many draws that haven't led to anything good. I understand that they can say that these are useful results, but for them, it's not good. Now I have to say that David isn't exactly the right striker for them. I don't understand why strikers lose their talent when they arrive at Juventus. Perhaps it's too much pressure.

Honestly, Juventus need to strengthen their team more if they really want to win the league  especially this Serie A title. So, if Juventus want trophies, they need more quality players to be added to the team.As you have said, it's not that Juventus are performing terribly, but they are underperforming compared to people’s expectations over the past few seasons. For over three seasons, Juventus have always been my favorite team to win the league, but in the end, they always fall short. Honestly, it seems that their squad is just not that great.

Now this season, they’ve started again but they’re already dropping points in almost every match. Out of the three matches they’ve played, they have won only one and drawn two, which doesn’t seem too bad for now. However, this might be how they continue, and then the gap between them and the team at the top of the table will widen.But for now, if the players are ready to sacrifice themselves and give their best, they can still do it because the point gap is still just three points between them and the team leading the table.

[bastisisca]

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

In fact, Napoli still holds first place, together with Roma.
Gasperini is already talking about Roma's good performances, but i haven't seen any real matches yet, i mean against Napoli or other strong teams. We'll see, they're certainly doing well and it shows.

[Pandu Geddon]

I don't understand why strikers lose their talent when they arrive at Juventus. Perhaps it's too much pressure.

A draw is certainly not the desired result, but it is better than a loss. Every team of course wants a victory, but sometimes teams are forced to be satisfied with a draw. Juventus last season also experienced problems with the many draws they got. And now we see that their last 5 matches ended in draws, both in Serie A and in the Champions League. Draws against Milan and Atalanta may not be bad results. But a draw against Verona is not good enough. They should have been able to earn victory points.

[TelolettOm]

Hojlund truly performed exceptionally well in that match, ultimately securing Napoli's victory with his goal. Of course, Napoli is now in a favorable position because they have outstanding players like Hojlund and De Bruyne.

Since Rasmus Höjlund arrived at Napoli, his performance has been incredible, unlike his time at Manchester United. Although on loan at Napoli, he has contributed four goals in six matches: two in Serie A and two in the Champions League.

Even in the match against Genoa, his final goal, scored in the 75th minute, was the decisive goal in Napoli's victory over Genoa, returning Napoli to the top of Serie A. And this is what he said about what he can do and this club.

There is still the transfer market for reinforcements that can still be of help to them, but Juventus' problem is that their attackers are not consistent and cannot provide a consistent performance that guarantees them a high goal average, while in defense they continue to concede a lot and this is a problem for them.

[Volgastallion]

Hojlund seems to be super happy on Napoli and that is easy to guess not only because after being in one of the most dark teams of modern time which is Manchester United all is gonna seems happy but also becuase he is a player who feels super confortab le with the SerieA style of playing.
