Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Gallar]

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.

Yes, Como does have the potential to continue climbing the Serie A rankings this season, as their current performance is truly excellent. However, Como must maintain consistent performance until the end of the season. Poor performance midway through the season will undoubtedly make it difficult for them to break into the top four in Serie A. Furthermore, Como won't be facing strong teams in the coming weeks, which I believe will make it easier for Como to climb the rankings. Como will face Parma next week, and the following week they will face Verona. With that in mind, I believe Como can certainly secure six points from those two matches.

Speaking of Juventus, their performance this season hasn't been particularly good, especially in attack. Juventus's attack has been remarkably blunt this season. Given this, I believe Juventus must immediately improve so they can compete better in Serie A. Additionally, Juventus lost to Real Madrid in the Champions League last night. Fortunately, they only lost by a narrow 1-0 score. I think this is quite a positive outcome for Juventus, as losing by a narrow margin away from home isn't too bad.

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.

What does it mean to say that a win should be readily available, but this club has been kept secret by the club? It's truly confusing, as I've seen Juventus's level of play show no consistency. Juventus haven't won a single match in their previous seven matches and even suffered two consecutive defeats in their previous matches. The loss to Real Madrid may be understandable, as their players aren't much better, but the loss against Como shows that the Old Lady still needs improvement this season in several positions and still has many weaknesses that need to be evaluated.

I also agree more with what you said about Juventus, because they should have been able to get a draw at Como instead of losing so badly. Meanwhile, losing by just one goal in the Champions League away to Real Madrid is something that can be considered normal, as Real Madrid's players have also started to improve this season. So there's no reason to criticize Juventus, because every team competing in any competition naturally wants a win as their best result, especially when that competition is the Champions League.

Lazio vs Juventus.
Will Juventus lose again? Their last two matches they lost against Como 0-2, and against Real Madrid 1-0. Next in the league, they will face Lazio, a tough test awaits. Statistically, Juventus might be favored, but the situation is hard to predict. Lazio will work hard to get 3 points. What is your prediction?

 * AC Milan - Pisa => AC Milan
 * Cremonese - Atalanta BC => Atalanta BC
 * Sassuolo - AS Roma => AS Roma
 * Lecce - Napoli => Napoli

Here's my weekly bet, let's hope it comes to fruition, they've been playing tricks on me for several weeks now and I can't win one, I'm putting my faith in strong and dominant teams

I believe Juventus will win this match, even if only by a narrow margin. Comparing their performances in their seven Serie A matches provides clear evidence that Lazio has been inconsistent this season. Therefore, I believe favoring Juventus is the most appropriate approach. However, since Lazio are typically a top-tier team, they could bounce back and surprise Juventus in this match. Moreover, Lazio will be the home team, so a surprising result is also possible.

However, I personally would probably favor Juventus to win this match.

Juventus performance this season has been different, and with the way many teams beat them this season, they will not be happy at the end when they find themselves in a position that they did not like. Juventus' performance was very poor, and they need to do better, they defend well against Real Madrid, but that is not a good performance because Real Madrid dominated the game, and if not for the goalkeeper who made some great saves, Real Madrid would have won the match with many goals.

The match between Lazio and Juventus will be another big challenge for Juventus because Lazio is not a small team; Lazio is very good and one of the teams that knows how to defend and attack. At this point, Juventus' coach should be careful because he may lose his job if he loses the game against Lazio because Juventus is not a team that is patient with their team losing matches.

[changaa]

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.

So injuries certainly make a team lame, for God's sake, no one says they have to perform well.
But a good coach takes injuries into account, which happen to all teams. And he implements appropriate measures to be able to provide for them in the event of an injury, in my opinion.

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.      

I've been following Cesc Fabregas' Como very closely. i have to say he's working very meticulously, trying not to leave anything to chance. i like the way this guy works, nothing to complain about.
I think their goal this year is a European Cup and i think they will achieve it.

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.

Absolutely true, managing a team isn't easy: it's not just the coach and the players who make the team. There's an entire ecosystem to build, you need the people who discover talent, the youth teams, the youth teams. It's an entire ecosystem that has to work.

I don't think they have to replace the manager and coach, especially the formation of a good team by looking for young players that they need right now.
Maybe there are some things that need to be improved, namely the strategy of formulating a new plan to be able to achieve brilliant results again, the new coach cannot guarantee that he can rebuild the team without good cooperation and cohesiveness in setting the strategy.

Both teams aren't that stable. The results of Juventus and Lazio are beyond expectations. It might look like Juventus is a little bit better than Lazio considering the ranking but Como has the same ranking as Lazio, yet was able to defeat Juventus.
The match against Real Madrid should not be counted here in my opinion. Real Madrid performance this season is way better than all Serie A teams, at least for now.
I think Juventus is able to pick at least a point from Lazio. I believe they can win even though the odds 3.2 for Lazio and 2.4 for Juventus, aren't promising.

Everyone is currently captivated by Fabregas' success at Como. Last season, Como's first promotion to Serie A, we immediately saw Fabregas transform Como into a formidable team, even managing to finish 10th in the standings. What's truly captivating about Fabregas' coaching style is his emphasis on aggressive play. So, watching Como play like this is a constant constant.

And now, with a squad filled with more young players, we see Como improving even further. Perhaps Como could secure a Europa League spot if they can maintain their current consistency.

Milan vs Pisa is indeed a match that is easy to predict the winner. Pisa has not won a single game since the start of this season, so when they face AC Milan, it seems that your prediction could be correct. Yes, I think I will also bet on Milan to win that match. I hope Milan can score many goals in that match.

For the Cremonese vs. Atalanta match, I think I'll bet on a draw because I believe Cremonese is a team that shouldn't be underestimated, even though they are currently ranked below Atalanta. For the Roma vs. Sassuolo match, I share the same opinion as you—I'll favor Roma in the bet. For the Napoli vs. Lecce match, I think I'll also favor Napoli because betting on Lecce's victory seems very risky. Hopefully, we'll all succeed in our bets and make a profit.

What I see from Cesc Fabregas is that he's quite similar to Simone Inzaghi in how he maximizes squad depth. And not only that, he's quite adept at discovering and bringing out the potential of existing players. For example, currently, one of Como's young players, Nico Paz, is also increasingly shining under Cesc Fabregas' coaching. Further proof is that last season, Como was filled with players who were quite old. One of them was even a goalkeeper who retired at the end of last season because he was almost 40 years old, if I remember correctly. But Cesc Fabregas was able to utilize these senior players very well. The coach instead utilized the players' experience to play aggressively but calmly, and it worked. I'm sure in the upcoming transfer window, Cesc Fabregas will receive big offers from big clubs in La Liga or the Premier League.

I will avoid Atalanta for betting purposes for a while. This is their 3rd draw in a row. I mean how did they manage not to score against Slavia Praha?    Their last 3 Serie A games also ended up with draws you know...

They have nearly the same goal statistics with Milan in the league by the way. But there is a 5-point gap between them. Ivan Juric has work to do! He must have started to feel same pressure after these results for many weeks.

[giorgione]

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.

Mmmmm Napoli has always been very unlucky in the Champions League, it must also be said that the European championship is not even remotely comparable to the Italian one, which is much easier for them to win, I also think Conte is adopting a maintenance technique to concentrate more on the championship

Yurich isn't an outstanding coach, so I'm not surprised that Atalanta has deteriorated. They've been scoring less, and their last two matches have been 0-0. Their next match is against Cremonese, a team that also draws frequently, so we shouldn't expect a mature performance in this match. If the teams can score at least a few goals, that would be a good thing. These teams have roughly the same results, both are in the middle of the table, but they should score at least one goal, because a third 0-0 draw in a row would be too much for Atalanta.

The draw with Prague was of course the peak of obscenity (ruining of my multiple bet haha). And overall, they look very unclear. They seem to be performing roughly as expected (after a poor pre-season), but on the other hand, they've only lost once this season, and that was to PSG. Paradoxically, they remain the only team in Serie A with 0 defeats. In the next round they play away at Cremeonese and I have no idea how this game should go.

[cande86]

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.

In my opinion, the team is well-balanced, a team built with meticulous care and precision to create the best possible mix of talent and runners. Given his position in the standings, we can say that Cesc Fabregas can be satisfied with himself.
