Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[TelolettOm]

Last week, Serie A only produced 11 goals in all matches, and this week was quite good, with 27 goals. It wasn't boring, and I think bettors enjoyed the week well. The final match of the week, Lazio vs Juventus, I think will end in a draw.

No, now Juventus has failed to secure a win again. Not even a draw, but a defeat to Lazio. Lazio's Toma Basic's only goal was the winner, crushing Juventus in the 9th minute, a pretty impressive feat. Unfortunately, Juventus couldn't even muster the last 16 to secure a draw.

Although Juventus dominated everything, with ball possession and shots, it wasn't enough, as Juventus failed to capitalize on them. So, they ended tragically with defeat. This marks a consecutive defeat for Juventus in Serie A. Frankly, Juventus have been playing very poorly lately, with no wins, only three wins, three draws, and two losses.

The Como side are really making a statement in the Serie A and I don't see any team to shut them up like that. With time we'll be seeing them in an European competition because this performance deserve something special. Imagine if Fabregas had choose to leave the club how would they have been now? Good thing he choose to stay at the club. Parma gave them a battle of their life, after Como won Juventus I still imagine them getting another win for the club but seeing this goalless draw will make them try harder to get a win.

They played like they had nothing to lose, allowing Como to perform much better, and in turn, Fabregas's strategy seemed even more effective. The win over Juventus was truly remarkable, even though they ultimately only managed a draw against Parma. If Como perform consistently, they have high hopes of playing in European competition next season, as they are currently in sixth place in the standings, and they must maintain that position. Next season will be much more difficult due to the potential speculation about Fabregas leaving, and if that happens, Como themselves will likely suffer a much greater setback.

Fiorentina could be relegated this season if they don't bounce back quickly. Even in the current match, I was quite surprised by how they lost to Bologna. Fiorentina's only goal came from a penalty kick. With Bologna down to 10 men, Fiorentina should have equalized, but they seemed unable to do so. Moreover, time was running out for this match. It was truly surprising to see Fiorentina in this condition, as they are usually quite strong.

Yes, Fiorentina's performance this season is indeed poor. I also wonder why a team that performed quite well last season is performing so poorly this season. In fact, in the eight matches Fiorentina have played, they have not been able to achieve a win. Because they have only suffered losses and draws. So, seeing that, I feel Fiorentina is currently quite worrying. Because, if their poor performance continues like this, I believe they will definitely be relegated from Serie A. After all, Fiorentina is currently in 18th place, or the relegation zone.

So, if it continues like this, they will definitely have to accept relegation. However, I personally do not believe that will happen. After all, Fiorentina is quite a big team in Serie A. So, if they are relegated, it would be a real shame. Furthermore, regarding this match, Fiorentina finally managed to score another goal from a penalty kick in the final minutes. So the final score is 2-2. Even so, the match was quite embarrassing because Bologna played with 10 men. Fiorentina should have won this match, but their poor form prevented them from winning.

I don't know what's Juventus problem because they keep on following the same pattern of performance from season to season. They are on one goal deficit against Lazio. The early goal from Lazio made the difference on the scoreline. Basic scored an unexpected goal with a clinical finish withn assit from Cataidi. The second half might be in favor of Juventus if they can only utilize their chances of finding the back of the net.

Juventus always seems to repeat the same mistakes every season. This even persists even when the team is coached by a different coach. A few seasons ago, the problems might have been quite obvious, whether it was injuries to key players or something else. But last season and this season, the reasons are actually a bit less clear. What's clear is that they don't seem to be capitalizing on their opportunities. It's as if they always want to draw. However, in that match, Lazio actually managed to beat Juventus 1-0. And perhaps Juventus, in this condition, can no longer be relied upon to compete for the title. They will simply fight for a top-four finish as usual.

It was truly surprising to see Fiorentina in this condition, as they are usually quite strong.

Fiorentina made a beautiful equalizer witj a penalty kick by Kean. Fiorentina was lucky to come from two goals and share point with Bologna. This was due to the rd card given to E. Holm a Bolgna player on ths 84th minutes of the game. Playing with a man down cost Bologna the second goal and gave Fiorentina the equalizer. Fiorentina always scored on the dying minute but Dodo couldn't hit the target.

I thought Fiorentina would lose the match. However, they managed to equalize in the final minutes of stoppage time, which I consider a stroke of luck for Fiorentina. However, if Bologna had still been down to 11 men, Fiorentina might not have been able to equalize. With a point from this match, Fiorentina is within touching distance of escaping the relegation zone.

Unfortunately, Fiorentina will face a formidable opponent in their next match, Inter Milan. So, Fiorentina's hopes of collecting all three points will be very slim. However, Fiorentina could bounce back and surprise us. However, Inter Milan also needs points to stay in the title race. So, this match is sure to be a tight one.

Among the top 4 teams in the Serie A table, Napoli and Roma managed to win their 8th match. Inter Milan lost against Napoli and AC Milan dropped points against Pisa.

Inter Milan and AC Milan had a chance to grab the top spot in the points table. I guessed that AC Milan would not miss the chance. If they could win against Pisa, AC Milan would be at the top of the points table now. This was a completely unexpected result. Milan dropped points in their home match.

Roma and Napoli are now on equal points. Roma's performance surprises me a lot. This team is not strong. Still, they managed to get the most points. The interesting thing is that Roma managed to score only 8 goals in 8 matches.

Of the four teams, the one that caught my attention the most was AS Roma, who appear quite serious about challenging for the Scudetto this season. It's been a long time since AS Roma has performed consistently and competed closely at the top of the table. I think Gasperini has succeeded in replacing Claudio Ranieri very well.
AC Milan has shown a resurgence, and perhaps this season they will secure a Champions League spot. Meanwhile, Inter Milan appears to have suffered a slight setback, but with a narrow points gap, they can easily return to the top of the table. Napoli, in my opinion, is still the main favorite to win the Scudetto this season.

With KDB out injured it will have it's effect on Napoli that's for sure, unless they have a perfect replacement for him already and so far it is not yet clear how long his injury will last. You saw the reaction on Antonio Conte's face when Kevin was injured in the match, it shows how disappointed he was because he knows how badly his absence will affect his team.

KDB being fit is my only scare for Napoli if not they are at the top of my list to win the scudetto as well. Although the all teams in the top 4 look serious but the two teams that will fight till the end are Napoli and Inter Milan just as it was last season.

Bologna put up a truly epic fight, overwhelming the home team. Had Fiorentina not been awarded those two penalties, they would have suffered a crushing defeat. Fiorentina's poor form this season has stalled, leaving them in the bottom three, having not won in their eight matches so far. I hope Fiorentina can climb out of that bottom three and win their next match, as if their poor form continues, they will certainly be relegated after the season ends.

Juventus is in crisis! It hasn't won since its famous 4-3 victory against Inter.
Last night, Juventus failed to secure three points against Lazio and suffered its first defeat of the season, losing 1-0.
This means it has also lost the chance to catch up with Inter in the standings.

Juventus had a clear penalty which wasn't awarded, I will agree with not taking the chances they created also but they're a complete mess whenever you look deep into it. Fans have literally cried out for a massive clear out of the old system because that is exactly how people who rebuild do it. Lazio on the other side are not really all that this season but they have managed to stay relevant and also beating the old ladies. This win should be important for them to build something meaningful this season.

I'm pained about this I had hopes for them this season but they have failed to win their last five games which has led to them losing a lot of points...even though i wasn't expecting the match to be easy for them in thought they would at least do their best to score a goal because they have failed to do so in their previous games...its too late for them to catch up with Inter, its obvious that they lack consistency

Well I don’t think it’s a crisis yet, like you have said it’s the first game they are loosing, but they were defeated by Como last week, and this things happens, but it is quite obvious that Juventus aren’t a very strong side like people will actually see them, because they’ve not been playing very well and the defense seems to be a problem right now, they’re not defending very well and that isn’t the kind of defenders I used to see Juventus having, Kelly and Gatti aren’t good enough to play for Juventus and they need to strengthen the squad defensively and also the attack should also be strengthened.

Juventus' biggest problem is their lack of consistency. This year, we're seeing a similar scenario unfold, with Juventus leaving matches inconsistently. In this match, Lazio won despite not being the favorites, while Juventus failed to make a lasting impact. Juventus must now accept the reality that they need to recover. Perhaps a managerial change is necessary.

You're right, I made a mistake. I forgot that Juventus also lost to Como last week, resulting in their second consecutive defeat in the league.
Juventus aren't playing badly, but they're not managing to get satisfactory results.

Tudor needs to get this team back on track as soon as possible.

It seems we will see the same scenario as last season where Juventus will only compete for a top 4 place, it's quite a shame when they started to show promise at the start of the season but boom they quickly lost their strength and worse, they lost a lot of points for 5 weeks in a row without a single match that they could win. Is this a sign that Tudor's career is coming to an end?

i am very sorry that it's going so badly, after a terrible season it had perhaps started a decent one and in reality it turned out to be just as bad as last year.
It hurts to see teams that were once strong reduced to such a bad state, this obviously diminishes the quality

Actually, from my observations yesterday the absence of De Bruyne didn't affect Napoli that much because they were still able to win Inter hands down. Napoli might feel his absence but if they can play with all determination, they will come out victorious in their upcoming matches.

I know that Napoli don't have the strength to play well in their Champions League games because they don't take their matches.

Napoli's next Champions League match is against Frankfurt, and they could beat them. In my opinion, Frankfurt is one of the weakest teams in Europe defensively this year. They've conceded too many goals in both the Bundesliga and the Champions League, so I don't think Napoli will struggle in that match. Furthermore, the three points they received against Inter were a golden opportunity, and they managed to pull off a difficult victory.

Well, it's like déjà vu. This team seems to be repeating the same mistakes every season. I was hoping Juventus would be a little different this season and could be superior to other teams. However, if things continue like this, the real problem lies in this, as changing coaches doesn't seem to change this habit. Therefore, this club needs to start examining further what's happening to this team, why they keep repeating the same thing every season. They always start very well, then decline towards the middle of the season, and then start improving again from the middle towards the end. This cycle is familiar to those of us who watch Serie A every season.  

[Silence Scream]

It will be quite difficult to determine the champion in Italy this year. Many teams are striving for the title. However, Juventus have thrown in the towel. They've lost so many matches in a row and their attacking side is truly ineffective. Perhaps they could consider signing a good striker during the mid-season transfer window. Jonathan David, whom they signed from France, has been quite ineffective this season. Juventus needs a different kind of striker.

Among the top 4 teams in the Serie A table, Napoli and Roma managed to win their 8th match. Inter Milan lost against Napoli and AC Milan dropped points against Pisa.

If they could win against Pisa, AC Milan would be at the top of the points table now. This was a completely unexpected result. Milan dropped points in their home match.

Roma and Napoli are now on equal points. Roma's performance surprises me a lot. This team is not strong. Still, they managed to get the most points. The interesting thing is that Roma managed to score only 8 goals in 8 matches.

Napoli and AS Roma are leading Serie A but their positions are not solid and secure as they have very little points more than below clubs. One defeat can change their positions in Serie A a lot and with a crisis of Liverpool, we have a good example that things can change very quickly in football. Both Napoli and Roma deserved with their top positions but they must work very hard, perform very carefully in next match days in order to secure their positions.

Inter Milan and AC Milan are not too far behind Napoli and Roma, and they are really ready to take over these top positions in coming weeks. Surely all competitors for Scudetto have their own problems and after only 8 match days, it's hard to say or predict which club will win Scudettto.
