Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Velvet78]

After not being able to make any goal contribution for 3 games straight, Hojlund started to improve his performance. 3 goals in his last 2 games. Really impressive work! 

This win helped Napoli go back to the lead again. But they share the points with Roma. Milan also move on with a long unbeaten run. I hoped Juventus to win last night but they couldn't make it. Milan even missed a penalty...

[len01]

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.

Højlund is actually more suited to playing in serie A, especially with the kind of support he gets from his teammates and the lack of overwhelming pressure that can hold him back from fully developing his talent. It’s a completely different story compared to when he was at Man United in the EPL, over there, almost every player is expected to carry the team and deliver wins in every single game, but without the kind of real support structure needed to make that happen.

[Stormisover]

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.

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.

Frankly speaking I'm very much impressed with AC Milan performance like I wasn't really expecting such from them after a disappointing season last year, but it turns out to be that they are more serious this season and are already making progress but I just hope it continues this way because it actually make the league look interesting and challenging, like I didn't believe they could pull such Storm on Juventus not until the final whistle like I really appreciate their zeel I really hope it pays off, and for Juventus I think they are already deviating from what I was actually expected of them earlier this season, but let me just keep watch and see what happens as the league continues.

[Arenga pinnata]

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.

I just realized that Juventus has drawn five of their last five matches across all competitions. First, they drew against Dortmund in their opening UCL match, then they drew against Verona and Atalanta in Serie A, then they drew again in the UCL against Villarreal, and now they've drawn again in Serie A. This means they've drawn three times in a row in Serie A, and then they've drawn two in a row in the UCL.

Last season, they also drew a lot in Serie A. But I'm quite surprised that the same thing could happen again this season, even after a change of coach. And even some players have changed this season. But the team's performance seems unchanged. In terms of gameplay, I probably prefer their performance this season. Juventus was too boring last season.

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.

KDB's excellent supply as the attacking brain in midfield has made Hojlund feel quite comfortable at Napoli, where KDB's touch as a playmaker in building up attacks has created excellent opportunities and even goals, which is certainly a good indication of Hojlund's improved performance and, of course, very useful for Napoli.

Napoli's initial concern was the condition of their attack line after Lukaku's departure, but for now, this seems less significant as Hojlund has proven to be a suitable replacement.
In 6 matches across all competitions, he has scored 4 goals, which is clearly much better than his time at Manchester United, where he also scored the same number of goals but needed 32 weeks to achieve it.

[bitcoin_mining]

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.

AC Milan had the opportunity to secure the number one or number two position in the points table by earning full points in this match, equal to Napoli, but they could not secure a win against Juventus, so they earned only one point in this match and now their total number of points is 13, with these 13 points they are in the third position in the points table. The performance of Juventus and AC Milan was equal. However, AC Milan was not successful even after shorting four targets, as a result of which they had to end the match with a goalless draw. I am happy with the performance of AC Milan in the Italian league so far because they have failed to perform like this in previous seasons. If AC Milan can plan a little better about the upcoming matches, then they will have a good chance of coming at the top of the points table.

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.

Hojlund's quality in Serie A was proven during his time at Atalanta, and he eventually moved to the Premier League with Manchester United. Whether due to his inability to adapt to the Premier League or the poor performance of the United squad, his showing in the Premier League was rather lackluster. Now he has returned to Serie A, joining Napoli, and it seems Serie A is indeed the right place for him, as he has already begun to shine again in just a few matches.

He is still quite young, so it is very possible for him to continue improving his skills and reach the peak of his performance. He is truly promising, and it is possible that Napoli will sign him permanently for next season. One more thing: with Napoli, he receives good ball supply from the midfielders, which is why he has managed to score 4 goals in 6 matches with Napoli in Serie A and also in the Champions League—something he didn't get when playing for Manchester United.

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.

Source: Rasmus Hojlund after scoring vs Genoa:

The number of players who kept excelling after leaving Manchester United is increasing. This is a sign that something is not really right in that club. Rasmus Hojlund has now agreed to a permanent deal with Napoli after he was reluctant to commit his future there. He was willing to keep fighting for his place in United even with the arrival of new signings Matheus Cunha, Bryan Mbeumo and Benjamin Sesko. Gli Azzurri have the option of sealing a permanent deal for about £38million and the Danish striker want to remain in Italy. He said Antonio Conte is a great coach and he is enjoying his time in Naples.

I think Hojlund return to Serie A is like a homecoming. This is evident in his achievements so far with Napoli. He has scored four goals in six appearances in all competitions, something he couldn't achieve at Man Utd, and this bodes well for the Danish striker career. This reminds me of Antony, who rediscovered his potential with Betis, and Hojlund is showing the same. I wonder what's wrong with Man Utd?

[puloweh555]

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.

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.

Perhaps this draw is a good result for Juventus, as they could have lost this match, but Milan completely squandered their chances to win. In the 53rd minute, AC Milan were awarded a penalty, but Christian Pulisic's shot went high. Juventus still has work to do this season, especially in attack and defense. In their last five matches, they have drawn without a single win. This is a bad sign if they want to chase a trophy this season.

Milan has improved this season after losing early in the season. They are slowly recovering, and Modric is becoming more solid with this team, which has made Milan's midfield more stable. He is the best midfielder currently, despite his age. This draw is certainly detrimental for Milan, as they failed to maintain their lead at the top of the standings. This draw is very beneficial for Napoli, who immediately climbed to the top of the standings after defeating Genoa.

You are right that the recent run of Højlund is awesome, I will say, wherever Højlund takes, he makes the storm. he netted the winner in Napolis 2 - 1 comeback against Genoa, and this is proof of his return to his form. On the other hand, Milans draw against Juventus did not help them climb up on table , I saw Pulasich missed a penalty that was very bad, &  they lost the top spot as they shared points.

so yeah, Højlund  is getting heated when important, Napoli is ahead again, &  Milan has lost points. Serie A is now extraordinary chaos 😎

Not only Antony and Hojlund, but several other Manchester United players also did the same last season. Rashford, who is currently on loan at Barcelona, ​​is also performing equally well.

Hojlund also seems to fit in with the Napoli squad. He seems very comfortable playing there. He didn't even need to adapt. He immediately built good chemistry with the other players. He even seemed to understand Conte's strategy.

Back when he played for Atalanta, he actually had the same sharpness as he does now. He scored 10 goals during his time at Atalanta. Then he moved to Manchester United, where he was actually quite good, but he seemed unable to produce his maximum performance. Perhaps it was due to the pressure of having too many star players in the Manchester United squad.

Overall, all the players who left Manchester United seem to have rediscovered their best form. Clearly, there is something wrong with the approach taken by Ten Hag and Ruben Amorim, as their players have struggled to develop and have largely failed to perform up to expectations. Of course, Playing for Manchester United is certainly not easy, players are often under pressure due to the high expectations of the fans and the constant media attention, and the same applies to their managers.

Hojlund is now at the right club, and with the squad depth that Napoli have, it will greatly help him develop into a prolific striker in Serie A. Rashford is also performing well for Barcelona, and so is Antony at Real Betis. They all seem genuinely happy at their new clubs. On the other hand, it’s undeniable that people are now beginning to see Manchester United as a club that fails to develop player talent.

This player has already integrated well with Napoli Football Club and it didn't take him long to adapt to the different environment of this league. In fact he's progressing so fast that it's a matter of concern because we saw that he's scored three goals in his last 35 games for Manchester City but the scenario has changed since joining Napoli Football Club, meaning the player has now scored three goals in five games. To be honest Hojlunds attacking performances show that he is comfortable here and is implementing his tactics well and this proving to everyone that Hojlund is a worthy player for Napoli now. In my opinion the Danish player has the potential to change the situation even further, meaning he could become a more mature and experienced striker in the future if this Denmark player fully integrates into the depth of Napoli.

When we talk about former Manchester United players, all the players who left the club have performed exceptionally well. Playing at Man United, besides being under a lot of pressure, also means their structure is not ideal, which leads to players underperforming.

For me it's not a question of him being suited to Serie A, but rather of Hojlund playing with teammates who have solid teamwork. So far Hojlund has scored four goals during his time at Napoli, even contributing to Napoli's 2-1 win over Genoa, which put Napoli at the top of the Serie A table. There's certainly a significant difference between Hojlund's time at Man United and Napoli especially at Napoli where he plays alongside De Bruyne. He's experienced receiving sweet passes from a visionary midfielder like De Bruyne. By the way, at Napoli Højlund seems to be honing his instincts off the ball to open up spaces, as well as developing his goal scoring talent.

So we can come out and banter Rasmus Højlund former club, Manchester United? The Red Devils have failed in crucial areas that alone have affected the performance of most of the players. The Red Devils is a kill joy team, they do not put smile on the faces of their supporters other than grieve and steady complaints.

Today is another day for Rasmus Højlund and he's banging goals for Napoli. The attacker is enjoying every moment he has with Napoli, this is what he needs to bounce back to his firing sparkling set. It's been a while we saw how happy Rasmus Højlund have been for playing for elite ones and also putting his name on the scoresheet.

Juventus draw streak continues, with three matches ending in a draw. It's fair to say a draw is better than a loss, But they still need to work harder to improve in the upcoming matches, as they need to be better than last season. AC milan performed well at Juventus home ground, with Pulisic and his teammates holding Juventus to a draw, a match that was very balanced.

The temporary standings, where juventus is still stuck in 5th place and closely following Inter milan who is in 4th place, even the points difference is not too far, meaning that one win in the upcoming match could change their position for the better.

Last season, juventus finished in the top four, and this season they must compete for the Scudetto. The upcoming match, against Como, could be the perfect opportunity to return to winning ways.

Milan could have easily beaten Juventus in this derby. Milan missed so many goals, and even a missed penalty. Pulisic took the penalty so poorly that I was astonished by the penalty. I would have thought it would have been nice if the goalkeeper had saved it, but he sent the ball straight to the fans. Pulisic was then substituted. Milan had other chances, too.

It was an unlucky night for Milan, they couldn't earn three points in this match, indeed. Nevertheless, Milan showed in this match that they are one of the best teams this season.

However, this result is better than losing, especially in the match against Milan, where there were several moments when they almost lost the match, but they still managed to get 1 point due to Milan's poor finishing, including the penalty.

For a big match, one point is still acceptable, but this string of draws must be gradually changed.
Getting one point is clearly still a good thing, but for the future, where competition is still very much needed, one point is not enough because three points must be obtained.
In Week 7, Juventus will face Como in the Serie A continuation, and to be honest, I'm still quite doubtful if they can secure all three points, especially since Como is still full of surprises at the moment.

Overall, all the players who left Manchester United seem to have rediscovered their best form. Clearly, there is something wrong with the approach taken by Ten Hag and Ruben Amorim, as their players have struggled to develop and have largely failed to perform up to expectations. Of course, Playing for Manchester United is certainly not easy, players are often under pressure due to the high expectations of the fans and the constant media attention, and the same applies to their managers.

Hojlund is now at the right club, and with the squad depth that Napoli have, it will greatly help him develop into a prolific striker in Serie A. Rashford is also performing well for Barcelona, and so is Antony at Real Betis. They all seem genuinely happy at their new clubs. On the other hand, it’s undeniable that people are now beginning to see Manchester United as a club that fails to develop player talent.

It's quite unfortunate what's happening there. Many are starting to think that the players who come there are starting to lose their abilities. It's just that they sometimes seem unable to build chemistry with their teammates. Furthermore, they seem to become nervous and unable to perform at their best. Playing for a big team with a long history and a large fan base can bring unimaginable pressure. That could be the reason. Or it could be that the coach is simply unable to develop the talents of the players. Well, we can't be sure what the cause is. We can only speculate.

However, it seems Hojlund has come to the right club. Now, he's even become a center of attention in Serie A for his performances.
