Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[banana33]

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.      

For Como it's different, I think this will be a start to make the championship very interesting, clearly Como started like a rocket and this team will maintain excellent consistency over time and will not fade away like all the other teams, they are strong and they are proving it, as long as Cesc Fabregas is there these will be the performances

[Lida93]

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.

I think you are only trying to underate Como by saying they cant make it to the last four, you saw how they demolished Juventus, that wasn't luck, it was hard work and persistence, it wasn't a narrow win, they won by a two goal margin, ever since the team gained promotion to the Serie A, they have been improving on the way on every side, the coaches philosophy is wonderful and it's helping the team get the right result, it would only take some time before they clinch a champions league spot, and this might be that season.

[verdinio]

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.

I think instead that these guys are ready to have a continuous performance until the end, clearly they must have a considerable consistency, but it has been seen that they can do it and that they are technically capable, and with Nico Paz who seems to be the new Messi, obviously the comparison is limited, I would never compare him to Messi lol

After defeating Juventus, Como have now overtaken Juventus in the Serie A standings with the same number of points, making them a serious opponent capable of disrupting teams with potential to win this season. I don't understand why Juventus were so powerless at Como's home ground, failing to score a single goal when they visited Como last weekend. Juventus also has a unique ability to overwhelm opponents and take all three points, but against Como, they looked like a mediocre team.

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 certainly seems difficult for Como to finish in 4th place at the end of the season because there are definitely many strong teams that want to secure a good position, such as 4th, 3rd, 2nd, and 1st. However, we will never know what will happen because Como could perform even better in upcoming matches.

Currently, Como is in 6th place. In my opinion, Como still has a chance to finish in 4th place because their performance has improved, and they could surprise us all by finishing the season in a good position, such as 4th place. But in my opinion, Como's chances of finishing in 4th place are still wide open, although it will certainly not be easy for Como to overtake the strong teams that are currently in good positions. Como has already defeated Juventus and drawn against Atalanta, which I believe is a strong foundation for Como to secure 4th place by the end of the season, or even potentially better than 3rd place. However, I hope Fabregas can help Como perform even better, as it would certainly be exciting if Como could compete in the Champions League next season.

Sometimes the underdogs end up surprising us, but even though I was a bit disappointed in juventus i think I sawnit coming because after a few matches when they were performing quite well they started drawing back for reasons that I don't understand. They have a problem when it comes to being consistent. Just when I thought that they had a chance of winning the title, they went back to the way they were in previous seasons

I also feel disappointed with Juventus because Juventus was actually a good team but their defeat against Como was actually a disappointment but on the one hand there is also joy with Como's strength and their victory because they have defeated a team that was strong by working hard. When Juventus is weak, it hides while they should play well so that their performance improves and they try to become a successful team. Juventus should be better in the next matches so that the mistakes of other matches do not become harmful in these next matches so that their strength becomes good again.

Juventus recent seasons have been in their development and squad building but they seem to lack of solid strategy and discipline as well as patience to do it well enough. Let's see how they lacked of patience with Max Allegri, sacked him and gave AC Milan very good opportunity to get Allegri this summer. The coach has gained success and .ade great impression with AC Milan so far while Juventus are struggling with Igor Tudor who in my opinion is clearly not at a same level of Max Allegri in this season.

Juventus probably are going through some chaotic transitional seasons like Arsenal and Manchester United have faced with after endings of Alex Ferguson and Arsene Wenger eras years ago. They have risk of not only fail to win Scudetto but also finishing this season without a position in top four.

I don't understand why Juventus were so powerless at Como's home ground, failing to score a single goal when they visited Como last weekend. Juventus also has a unique ability to overwhelm opponents and take all three points, but against Como, they looked like a mediocre team.

That's because Como seems to have a well calculated team under Fabregas. They're willing to take risks playing diagonally. When Juventus has the ball, they can defend solidly, and they also know how to counterattack effectively. Fabregas' strategy worked well in this match, and one Como player I consider to be the best is Nico Paz. I see him as a potential expensive asset for Como, and I hope Como doesn't sell him.

It must be admitted that Juventus has good players, but they don't have a coach with a system. So far under Igor Tudor, he has relied solely on the players' magic, but without a collective effort, this is easily read by opponents. This is what led to Juventus' defeat to Como, and they couldn't even score a single goal against Como. So in my opinion Igor Tudor is not the right coach for a Juve club that demands high results. Perhaps if Juventus loses to Real Madrid tonight, Juventus will fire Igor Tudor.

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.

In the Championship he seems to have lost the scary performance, but he still holds his own.
The match lost with 6 goals was a total disaster, it certainly had a negative influence on the team's morale.
I hope for them that this bad defeat does not compromise the Championship too, I still have great faith in Napoli.
Patience also happens in these things, you can't always do great, every now and then you fall and get back up.

Yes, of course we were all surprised to see the results, the formation played by Como in this case was quite effective with their 3-5-1-1 formation, they were more dominant in the midfield and the coordination between the players was quite good in this case. especially in the midfield, allowing them to press their opponents without losing their defensive structure, and this was reflected in their consistent performance until the end of the match. This will certainly give Como a lot of confidence, especially if they can maintain this momentum. Future opponents will need to be extra vigilant, perhaps adapting tactics like high pressing or quick counterattacks to disrupt their rhythm in future matches.

Everything is going great for Milan so far. I don't see the draw against Juventus bad honestly considering the game was in Turin. The only bad result they got was the Cremonese loss.

Allegri is doing a much better work than Sérgio Conceição undoubtedly. Yeah maybe there was a good work he did also like the Italian Super Cup trophy. But man, his league performance was horrible... 8th finisher you know. It is good that they have Leão back after his recovery. Now I expect a stronger attacking line. I know his poor performing times but I believe he will get better with Allegri. He is a manager with discipline. And I started to see Milan a serious title contender already.

By far he is doing a much better job but we have to point out some things which are super relevant.

First is not the exact same team.

And second and most important and related to the first point, Luka Modric, he can make any bad team start to play good football despite his years he still can make magic inside and outside the pitch teaching all his teammates what to do and how to do it.

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.

I would say it's also not impossible for them to finish in top four. They are not that far away, and they have the team for it, and if they get a few lucky games here and there too then it wouldn't be really that shocking for them to have this kind of result. So we should seriously consider if they can do it, but I think it's going to be possible. Of course I can't guarantee anything, they may or may not reach there, we may or may not see them finish.

We could see them finish 12th too, they are both possible. The point I wanted to make is that it is not "impossible" for them to see at the fourth place at the end of the season, it is unlikely and unexpected but they are doing a fine job. And worst case worst, they are getting better every year, so if not this year, they will do it eventually.

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

But if they capitalize on January by signing several key players, as they did last season, there's hope for them to compete for a top-four finish, or at least a top-five finish, which would be extraordinary. And I think they can, because the Hartono family, as the club's owners, has enough money to do so, and in fact currently Como is one of the richest clubs in Serie A.

[sana54210]

Juventus isn't doing all that great and looking unconvincing. It is not about Como or any other team, it's just that Juventus has failed to recover from dropping from the top. They won like ten times in a row, and then they started to slowly go down and never really recovered.

People assumed they would eventually get better, but between terrible transfers and some bad coaching choices, they ended up getting worse. I am sure they will recover, I am sure they will find what they are looking for eventually but that will take a while and won't be easy at all. We should be waiting for this team to recover and that's not going to be today. Obviously things will change, we just need to make sure that we can see them do a fine job with time if given some good coaching.

Maybe we will see some good signs in the next transfer window. They haven't been able to do anything significant in their first 7 matches, they still have a lot of room for improvement. If they could convert 3 draws into wins then I would say they are in a good position and they are strong enough to be in the top 4. But they haven't been able to get full points in even half of their matches. Their statistics are not bad at all, not even good at all, they are basically playing like a middle-class club. Como are 6th in the points table with 3 wins, 3 draws and 1 loss in 7 matches.

I think Como's placement in this ranking is a great achievement. They achieved a fantastic victory against Juventus. They were also very good in their other games and showed us that they are capable of beating any team. You could call them the most sensational team in the Italian league this year. They disrupt the opponent's balance in their matches and, with their excellent analysis, easily defeat them tactically. This is their biggest advantage in the Italian league. I consider it a success as a manager. I hope they secure the qualification to qualify for the European competitions at the end of the season.

Getting better version of Juventus is everything the fans hope for. There's another level we're yet to watch about Juventus, winning should be straight but under cover for the club. Not been consistent and also not on streak winnings. Juventus are no longer the favorite team to win the Seria A because they've fallen from the top. They got no boundaries with other oppositions because winnings is a must. The Old Ladys will definitely bounce back, they just have to keep pushing until they hit top targets. I won't count tonight defeat at Santiago Bernabéu, it was pretty tough.

[TelolettOm]

.....So in my opinion Igor Tudor is not the right coach for a Juve club that demands high results. Perhaps if Juventus loses to Real Madrid tonight, Juventus will fire Igor Tudor.

And in the end, yes, it's true, Juventus lost to Real Madrid. Even though they only lost by one goal, scored by Bellingham, Juventus still lost. This adds to Juventus' winless streak of seven matches in all competitions. Ah, it seems they need to reset and evaluate various aspects so that in the future, Juventus can return to being more motivated to win.


Source: Juventus are winless in their last seven in all competitions

Now, Juventus is only at rank 7 in Serie A, and also worse in UEFA Champion League, only rank 26.

Yeah, since the last few seasons, Juventus has been a team that is a bit difficult to predict sometimes they play well and impress with a winning streak but as we have seen lately they have drawn and lost more often in their last matches, now our expectations for Juventus are slowly disappearing I mean they are no longer considered as contenders for the title but only for the Champions League ticket. Juventus next opponent is Lazio and they are playing away, will Juventus draw again or even lose again? based on the performance of both teams it should be equally bad so there is no favorite to win yeah maybe a draw.
