Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[martinom]

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.

I think it was a temporary collapse, clearly Juventus should have tried harder but Como is not exactly a poor team, in fact they are proving to be doing very well, obviously this is something they will have to improve, against Real Madrid they performed very well, so i think they can still be in the running for everything

Juventus are losing it, they started the season so well and everyone was thinking it going to be a turn around season for them but we were all wrong. This is the first time since 2009 juventus have gone 7 games without a win. That lost yesterday to Real Madrid really worsen everything for them. They had every chance to have won that game. Vlahovic had 2-3 good chances but failed to convert and was subbed off, David and openda had their chances also failed to convert their chances too.

Defensively they are not doing bad but they really need to start converting their chances, one thing that baffles me is that the 3 strikers they’ve got have so much quality, don’t really know why finding the back of the net is really difficult for them.

Now they travel to Lazio for their next league game which I still don’t see them winning that game, maybe a draw they can get but not a win. Well I can’t really be sure about that until the game is played.

[Uruhara]

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.

Since the start of this season, I personally haven't bet on Atalanta matches. They will need time to regain stability under their new coach. I think that when Atalanta loses Gasperini, the team's good form will be reset to its original state. This means the new coach will have to work hard to rebuild his coaching style, which will also require time for the players to adapt. But I don't think Atalanta are as bad as I expected. Furthermore, a few draws in Serie A are quite normal, considering the opponents they face are Juventus, Como, and Lazio. I even thought Atalanta would be much worse at the start of the season, but they haven't been that bad despite the change in coach.

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.

Napoli were missing two key strikers simultaneously, making their attack less effective. It would have been a different story if Rasmus Hojlund had been unavailable but Lukaku had been available as a substitute, but both players were unavailable at the same time. Furthermore, Napoli's defense was also very poor in that match, especially Buongiorno and Lorenzo, who made numerous errors, resulting in six goals conceded.

Napoli performed very poorly in that match, and Lucca's red card made it difficult for the team as a whole to keep up with PSV Eindhoven's performance. I only saw Scott McTominay performing above average among the other Napoli players, as he looked much better in his game, scoring two goals in that match.

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?

Seems not surely Juventus will loss again although have defeated two matches in a row from Como and last night getting loss from Madrid at Champion League, Lazio not performed as well as in this season just won 2 of 7 games so far have losses 3 games. I don't think Lazio will defeat Juventus currently still under performance and playing home is the moment for recovering to get three points, can't believing with Juventus poor performance this season if not loss have to played draw and getting draw 3 of 7 games in domestic league and 2 draw in Champion League matches.

Lazio's performance still inconsistent after held to draw last two matches in a row and last winning from Hellas Verona when games week 2, its too long moment for Lazio can't winning the domestic league match and drop to 12th position as usually always dominance at the top fourth standings.

The last meeting between Lazio and Juventus ended in a 1-1 draw. But Lazio's current performance is not like it was in their last encounter. Juventus is actually not in better condition either. However, they might be more favored to beat Lazio. A draw is also possible if Juventus still does not improve their performance. I am not quite confident that Juventus can win easily.

[Uruhara]

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.

Exactly what I thought. And I think Fabregas does have the same coaching ability as Inzaghi. However, I think Fabregas can still improve. This means Fabregas could surpass Inzaghi someday in his coaching career.

The retired goalkeeper you're referring to is Pepe Reina, and yes, he's very old as a football player. He's over 40, to be more precise, 42. And he retired last summer. And another Como player who retired last summer was Alessio Lovine, a right midfielder for the club.

Como really does undergo major overhauls almost every season, but the results are always quite good, even exceeding expectations. This season, it's even possible for Como to compete for a higher ranking, as long as they're consistent.

The chances of winning are much greater for Juventus, Lazio could previously have been said to be strong enough to withstand Juventus but now it is different, Lazio seems to be much worse, but the defeat that Juventus received 0-2 with Como makes me a little doubtful that it will go smoothly, on paper Juvenutu is still superior but the implementation on the field is a mystery that cannot be predicted.

I think Napoli went into the match against PSV without some of their key players but Napoli should not have lost by such a big margin. Napoli lost by a big margin of 6-2 in this Champions League match. The absence of two important players had a bad effect on the players who had the best performance. I did not expect Napoli to perform so poorly in their defense, if I had known the possibility of such a poor performance from the defense then I would not have bet on Napoli. Napoli are the best team in the Italian league at the moment so I bet on them thinking that they would perform well in this Champions League match but they really disappointed me.

It was indeed a poor display by Napoli. The Italian side looks fragile, and almost all the players underperformed. The Italian press attacked Midfeild Veteran Kevin De Bruyne and captian Giovanni Di Lorenzo. Both players were rated below 5 in aa scale of 10. The shinning light in that game for Napoli was Scott McTominay who gave Napoli two goal. I thought Antonio Conte will change his tactics because they also lost to Torino. But the Italian stated that he would continue with his tactical system in Saturday's game with Inter Milan.

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.

Como can finish in a good position in the standings, now that they have challenged the big Italian teams, and won, clearly this must be something that must have continuity, the results obviously never come by chance, but it takes a certain determination to remain at the top of the standings

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.

Juventus management hiring a new head coach under the same players that aren't good enough to rival the likes of Inter Milan, Napoli, and AC Milan for the Scudetto won't help solve the problems of Juventus. If Juventus want to become a serious competitor for the Scudetto, Juventus management should start by bringing in quality players to their team.

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.

Allegri is much stronger as a coach than all the other teams, clearly this gives Milan an advantage because having the best coach in the league makes everything easier, in fact with targeted acquisitions he has managed to revive the fortunes of a club.

Statistically, Juventus might be favored, but the situation is hard to predict. Lazio will work hard to get 3 points. What is your prediction?

The Juventus vs Lazio match is indeed difficult to predict because, of course, their squads are not that different. For example, when Atalanta played Juventus, the result was a draw, and when Lazio played Atalanta, the result was also a draw. However, looking at the standings, Juventus is clearly ahead of Lazio. Therefore, in my opinion, betting on Juventus to win is a good choice. However, one must be cautious when placing bets on this match, as both teams will undoubtedly strive for victory.

Looking at the head-to-head record, the results are even, as both teams have won twice and drawn once, plus their last match ended in a 1-1 draw. So, this match is indeed very difficult to predict, but I think I would favor Juventus to win this match. because when facing Real Madrid in the Champions League, Juventus didn't concede many goals, which indicates that Juventus has a good game even though they lost. And of course, Juventus' loss to Real Madrid isn't too embarrassing because Real Madrid has strong players and is a team that has won many trophies in the Champions League.

Juventus management hiring a new head coach under the same players that aren't good enough to rival the likes of Inter Milan, Napoli, and AC Milan for the Scudetto won't help solve the problems of Juventus. If Juventus want to become a serious competitor for the Scudetto, Juventus management should start by bringing in quality players to their team.

Sometimes the problem does not seem to be tackled well and that is why Juventus in the past three seasons has been moving from one issues to another, they may think the coach alone is the problem but it does not even seem okay to be changing such at a time like this, they should also look into the players and the management and aswell they should consider their tactics and team psychology, if they have been able to build the right chemistry enough.

Of course, it’s easy to blame the coach for everything, but if the coach asks for attacking reinforcements, like Allegri did, and doesn’t get them, then the coach won’t be able to change anything in the team. It’s hard for me to say anything about Tudor because I don’t know his previous achievements, but I can say that Allegri is a very good, top level coach, and if he asked for attacking reinforcements, they should have been provided. Just look at how Allegri is working with Milan now. In fact, I expected Milan to become stronger with him  the team strengthened well during the offseason, and the results of those transfers are now clearly visible.

[banana33]

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.

There are technical challenges, and Juventus is facing them. Let's say that the players who are there now aren't very high-performing but they do their job. Certainly, with Massimiliano Allegri things would have changed. Since he left, the coaches have always been a bit like that, lacking a character that they don't transmit to the team.

Lazio's performance still inconsistent after held to draw last two matches in a row and last winning from Hellas Verona when games week 2, its too long moment for Lazio can't winning the domestic league match and drop to 12th position as usually always dominance at the top fourth standings.

However, they might be more favored to beat Lazio. A draw is also possible if Juventus still does not improve their performance. I am not quite confident that Juventus can win easily.

Both teams are currently in poor form, and this match will certainly be an interesting one, as both teams will be eager to secure a win and end their poor form. It could be said that this match will be a moment for both teams to bounce back and be motivated to improve their standings.

Yes, that's right. In fact, in the three matches Juventus have visited Lazio, they have never won, as Juventus has always struggled at Lazio's home ground. So for Juventus playing at the Stadio Olimpico will be a challenge in itself, and they will certainly be cautious in this match, as any mistake could cost them points. Moreover Lazio always has a way of capitalizing on opportunities when facing Juventus. This match will be interesting to watch. The hosts certainly have a good record against Juventus at home, and Juventus will also be looking to steal a point from Lazio's home ground to end their three-match winless streak. A draw is very possible for both teams, but we'll have to wait and see.

Bad day yesterday for the Italians teams on the Champions LEague Juventus losing against Real Madrid (i have my doubt if it is a bad result, taking into account they only lsoe by one goal against one of the contenders teams) and Atalanta dropping points in their home.

Lets see now how much of the players are tired for this new round of SerieA, which start tomorrow with Ac Milan game.

Statistically, Juventus might be favored, but the situation is hard to predict. Lazio will work hard to get 3 points. What is your prediction?

The results are still highly biased, as despite Lazio's poor form, Juventus has also been unpredictable lately. Losing to Como is something to consider carefully if you're betting on this match. However, Juventus must win because their position in the standings is under threat, and a win would put them back in the race.
But look.



The bookmakers don't have much faith in Juventus either. Perhaps it's best to avoid them for now.
