Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Arenga pinnata]

Yes, I agree. If you want to win the Scudetto, you have to win against Torino. They're a team that needs to be beaten, and you have to do it in a tough way, because you have to show everyone your strength on the pitch. But in this case, Napoli let themselves be tamed. If they want to win, this isn't the right way.

Napoli truly seemed to have lost their edge. They were once the favorites to beat Torino, but instead, they lost. And last night was even worse. Napoli lost their UCL match to PSV by a massive 6-2 score. Although the three goals scored by their opponents were due to Napoli playing with only 10 player from the 76th minute on, it was still a big defeat. Even when Napoli were down to 11 men, they were already several goals behind.

As with everything this season, whether in Serie A or the UCL, we shouldn't expect Napoli to compete for the title.

Como are definitely worth watching this season, their progress has been higher than I expected, which is certainly a good thing and surprising, and they can declare themselves to compete in the top 4 if they can do extraordinary things like beating Juventus yesterday and continue to do so in the following matches, especially when facing strong teams.

Although I praised Como's performance, in retrospect, there's no need to worry.
Como only looks strong when playing at home, and judging by their overall score, they aren't as high as other big clubs.
So, I'm pretty sure Como will eventually lose their best form over the long term, and that's what happened last season.
It's going to be difficult for Como to stay in the top 4

Como will not be able to finish in the top four of Serie A, as the team is not up to the task. It is true that Como plays much better at home than away. In fact, Como has played four home games so far, winning two and drawing two. Away from home, however, they have only played three matches, winning one, drawing one and losing one.

It is still too early to talk about a hypothetical fourth place, as there is a lot of competition for those positions, and there are teams that are better equipped for the moment.

It is common to see teams like Como in different leagues putting up outstanding performances at the beginning of the season. The problem such teams usually have is consistency. Some of them will lose steam as the league progresses and begin to struggle. Some of the causes might be a lack of quality players to replace those who are injured. However, some of these underdogs have been able to be strong till the end and get a European competition qualification.

When Cesc Fabregas rejected some good offers, including the chance to join Bayer Leverkusen, I suspected that the Spaniard was up to something good in Como. Indeed, it's too early to conclude because there are still more games to play. Still, one cannot overlook the exploits of this club.

Como's performance is quite good at the moment. But even if they do well at the beginning of the season , it is very difficult to continue the consistency until the end. We will see a decline in Como's performance when the players in the squad face injuries. Anyway, there is no doubt that coach Cesc Fabregas  is doing a great job. Fabregas is the main contributor  behind Como's excellent performance. He took over Como's responsibility in the previous  season. We can see a positive change in Como's performance within 1 year. Despite not having a very strong squad, the team is playing quite well.

After losing to Torino, Napoli suffered a monstrous defeat to PSV, conceding six goals. It's time to check the bookmakers' opinions on the title:

Inter - 2.80

Milan - 2.90

Napoli -3.25

A fairly familiar picture, the only difference is that Juventus is beyond the real chances (1 in 21). I wonder if Conte can stop this decline? In the next round, Napoli plays at home against Inter, and if they lose again, Conte will be in serious trouble and Napoli's chances of defending the title will disappear. Inter are slight favourites at 2.48 already.

[verdinio]

That is very good way of saying how it feels to be disappointed when Juventus does not play same way all time, you are totally right when you say that worst thing is when you see draw or loss coming, and then they have few moments of good play where they look like they seem to be capable of winning title, and then they suddenly go back to their old bad ways and lose their energy. This not deep, mind attention makes it hard to change their good form into winning habit that will continue and way in which they lose points when you do not expect it is what stops them to be real champion team and this makes it very hard to have fans trusting in them when they continue to waste their chances.

They need to rebuild the club. If they want to start getting excellent results again, they need to find new sports managers and a new coach who is a coach. If they continue like this, they will never be able to move forward and will always receive bad results.

Allegri is doing a great job with Milan and it wasnt a given, this must be a big step forward for the coach who was practically kicked out of Juventus to look for another who was supposed to do better but instead only made the situation worse, Now that they are very competitive, they are aware of their potential

Allegri is known to be an excellent coach, he has character and commands respect, I don't understand why he was sent away from Juventus when he could have continued to do a lot for the team and the club, instead of hiring inexperienced coaches.

Well, that was the decision I most didn't understand. At the time, Juventus' only problem was not being able to win the title. But they were always able to compete fiercely for the title. It's just that they were always unlucky. First, they had many injuries every season. Second, they received several sanctions that resulted in their points being deducted. That was the only problem at the time, if I remember correctly. But Allegri ended up getting fired, even though he was the one who had been loyal to the club during its downturn.

And I'm delighted that Allegri finally has the chance to return to Serie A at an equally big club, AC Milan. If he can lead AC Milan to the title, it would be a tremendous achievement for Allegri, and Juventus will surely regret their decision last year.

[cande86]

Yes, this match was truly surprising. While many people were betting on Juventus and believing they would win, their favorite team ultimately lost to a team that had only been in Serie A for two seasons. This was certainly a shock to many. Furthermore, it seems Juventus haven't shown any significant improvement this season. They haven't won in their last six matches. Five of those matches ended in draws, and one ended in defeat. This is clearly a problem for Juventus that needs to be addressed immediately.

If they continue to perform like this, I don't think they'll be able to do much, whether in Serie A or the Champions League. The rival teams Juventus will face are already performing better. Moreover, Juventus will face Real Madrid tomorrow. I think this match will be very difficult for Juventus. In their previous match, Juventus could only manage a draw against a team of Villarreal's stature. So, you can imagine what it would be like if Juventus faced Real Madrid. I think Juventus would most likely lose.

Juventus is definitely not going through a good period, i thought they could easily recover the form of a strong team they once had, but in reality this hasn't happened and i don't think they can do well in the Champions League, so i don't know, disappointing results from this team i think will still be the future

[bastisisca]

t's hard to really predict which of the team is gong to win the title this season, between the three teams you mentioned it's a tough one to crack but something tells me that Roma might actually get it this time...Napoli are being slow and inter on the other hand are not the same team we knew last season, it's hard to really tell who the winner is going to be, if I'm to bet on it I would go with Roma to win

To be honest, i think it will be very difficult for any team to win the Scudetto easily. They are all more or less at the same level, and this means that there are no particularly dominant teams.
It will be a very difficult battle and i honestly think that Inter is also in the battle even if i thought not.

[m4r1o]

I agree with what you said that the Juventus we see now is not the Juventus we used to know, because their current condition is quite critical, they are no longer able to maintain the dominance they showed in the past, moreover the depth of their current squad appears less competitive compared to previous eras, they have changed a lot, so that makes why their current performance is inconsistent and often fails to meet people's expectations, and because of this is also the reason why COMO can beat them, besides because COMO's performance is also improving.

in fact they managed to beat them, clearly this is a challenge that exposes all the problems of Juventus currently who today will also challenge a great team like Real and for them it will not be easy at all, clearly if they win they will have great momentum, but if they lose it will be a total sinking for them

Allegri is known to be an excellent coach, he has character and commands respect, I don't understand why he was sent away from Juventus when he could have continued to do a lot for the team and the club, instead of hiring inexperienced coaches.

I also don't understand why Juventus fired Massimiliano Allegri just because he couldn't fulfill the club owner expectations to win the scudetto, even though if Juventus were a little more patient, maybe Massimiliano Allegri could have achieved better results and given Juventus the title like it used to be, who gave Juventus many titles, the club shouldn't forget that because he is an experienced coach in the Italian League, I'm sure Juventus is currently regretting their decision because the coach they chose hasn't fulfilled expectations and is actually worse, while Milan is lucky to have their coach back who also gave Milan the Serie A title in the 2010-11 season.

[bastisisca]

maybe because many club underestimate them, that make Cremonese play freely without pressure. They hold Como and Verona at their home which I think They're not just promoted club, but a club which will cause trouble for top 4 club. Udinese look like forget if Cremonese ever defeated Milan on San Siro, This is a sign that they must be careful when meet them on Giovanni Zini Stadium. That quick goal Filippo give Udinese shock teraphy, I saw hopelessness in the first half, but fortunately Nicola has change a strategy on 2nd half, and equalize a score on minutes 51.

i am keeping an eye on them because they seem like a promising team. They remind me a little of Chievo from several years ago, when they had an exceptional season. i really like these things, and i hope they can hold on and do as well as Chievo did many years ago.

So Como plays well at home, it seems strong, it's not a term I would use.
They have a team that promises well, this is beyond doubt, but it is still too early to say that it will lose its form in the long term, I wouldn't compare last season with this, they are two different things. Good for Como fans..
Maybe they aim to improve more and more, I don't think they will remain firm in the steps of the last championship, otherwise will they never improve?

It will be a very difficult battle and i honestly think that Inter is also in the battle even if i thought not.

Of course, Inter must always be among the title contenders from season to season. Inter is sitting on second position on the table which I least expected because they were struggling initially. I don't think that I can put my hope on Napoli anymore after they were humiliated yesterday in the Champions League. I know that Napoli don't have the strength to play in European competitions.

[Roseline492]

Convincing at first is what they no how to do and you will almost get to a feeling of significant role for them on the season. Whenever I see there players lineup and the lineup of the days they were with good wingers and strikers I no that they have loss a lot because what they have cannot win any trophy except when they're fortunate to the final with those they can win otherwise high team as Inter and Napoli or Ac Milan will win it from them because those clubs use the importance of strikers to invest on there front. How are they going to pave another champions League on this poor state.

I think they'll likely sack their coach before the end of the season, except they figure out how to improve the team, it was so embarrassing watching them lose to Como and I believe the board would start counting his days if he doesn't improve the team, I felt Juventus would be the top contenders this season but Napoli and AC Milan remains my top choice for now.

If they have the arrangement for him they will do it while the time is early so that a correction can start taking effect on the team by the new person they will assigned to manage the players. Was there a difference between him and Juventus former coach Thiago Motta?, because the last coach was inexperience and this Igor Tudor is also inexperience because he did not show the performance of an experience coaching on the club, he has become the second mistake of Juventus after the former one but he could avert being sacked if he turn to an effective coach but if not an action might be taking against him.

Juventus's head coach Igor Tudor said Como is small fake club after spending much money for every window transfer and Cesc Fabregas easily choose or signing the players based on his tactician, its said Igor Tudor after his team Juventus defeating by Como at last match. Since acquisition by Indonesian businessman, Como success growing up as the bigger Serie A teams although started from Serie D and in short term success back to Serie A dominance at the top standings for awhile.

Significant positive change of Como team since last season when finishing at 10th standings as new comer teams in Serie A, not huge progress for this season after moving to 6th standings awhile and remaining few points left to reach top position standings. Surely with how many players recruitment by Cesc Fabregas will bring positive progress and Como likely not difficult for securing top sixth standings place this season.

Certainly it will be difficult for Como to achieve that result, but they have still shown character in this championship, this must be said, right?
He doesn't let himself be intimidated even by the most solid teams, this does honor to a team that still has so much to improve.
Fourth place is already a great ambition for Como, never say never though, to date however i wouldn't bet on 4th place, we'll see how they play again in the next matches.

Inter are slight favourites at 2.48 already.

My absence due to injury and Rasmus Hojlund makes it even more difficult for Napoli to fight up front, they don't have sharpness in their attacking department, Lorenzo is very effective as the spearhead of the attack and yes Napoli is experiencing a decline maybe because of this too, Conte has a big challenge, the match against Inter Milan who is in very good condition of course he will have difficulties and he should already understand that the probability of winning against Inter Milan is very small, I think even if they lose,  Conte will be given the opportunity.
