Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Toro iskandar]

The Pisa vs Cremonese team match is going to start tomorrow. Cremonese team is ahead in this match so I think Cremonese team will do something good. And if Pisa team performs well then there is a possibility of the match being drawn. And if Pisa team cannot perform well then Cremonese team will win this match very easily.

Cremonese is favored due to their significantly higher points table position than Pisa S.C., but in terms of depth of form, I rate these two clubs equally.
Pisa previously held AC Milan to a draw, and Cremonese previously beat Milan.
In other matches, Cremonese and Pisa have held draws against more popular clubs, which is a plus if both clubs have strong defenses.
In terms of previous meetings between the two clubs, Pisa has the upper hand, having won twice against Cremonese.
So, this won't be an easy match for Cremonese, and the only chance of a draw is a draw.

I cant believe how after the Juventus fall only the Inter team is a good representative of the Italian Serie A in europe, no other team comes to an acceptable level we keep waiting for Milan and also for Napoli who doesnt have a great history in Champions League but right now is the most powerfull team in Italy.

WEll last round before international break is gonna Fiorentina comes with a win?

Seriously recently only Inter Milan have managed to represent the Italians in European competitions, they've actually set a high standards in their performance and they are one of the best teams in European football currently, managed to reach the UEFA Champions League final last season even though they were humiliated at the final. Inter Milan and Juventus have been the only ones doing well in the champions league, Napoli have been inconsistent with their champions league performance so I am not surprised that no team has managed to represent well in the champions league other than Inter.

Last season Fiorentina were good but they have been struggling since the start of the season and I don't expect much from them in the conference league until maybe when they improve.

If you expect Fiorentina to represent us in Europe you are very wrong, currently i don't know if you know it but Fiorentina is in the relegation zone and certainly can't afford to lose but it won't be easy for them to win the match either, regarding the other teams i would say they can do a little more..

They are the last team on the standings in the Serie A, they are struggling to win games now and they even lost to Mainz in the conference league but after the International break they should be able to win AEK Athens FC in their next UEFA Conference League game. They are the home team and they can't afford to win back to back games so they should anything they can to win.

With the way league is going, I am sure that we are going to see teams that are not there at the top for a long time will have some stress about being near the top. Napoli and Inter have been near the top for a while now, won the titles together, Milan sucked for the past two years, and Roma failed to win a title in so many years.

So I agree that Inter and Napoli have a higher chance, that is reputation and experience which will make it better for them and get a better result. It's clear that we are not seeing the difference just yet. Lets wait it out and see, but one thing Milan has over others is that as far as I know, they are not in any UEFA competition are they? If they are not, the fatigue difference will matter.

Here is the odds for the Serie A title winner.



Inter are seriously favoured against Napoli even though they are one point behind. They are more productive at scoring compared to Napoli. However it is the other way around when it comes to conceding. 

Roma have 15.00 odds. It just tries to attract my attention a lot. We never know... Maybe I might bet a small amount on it to try my luck with it.

So, this won't be an easy match for Cremonese, and the only chance of a draw is a draw.

Cremenose has better current standings position in Serie A than Pisa and both teams have many points gap, no doubt for predicting Cremenose will win the opening Serie A matchday 11 indeed last games Cremonese defeated from Juventus and Pisa success holding draw Genoa 2-2. Previously Cremonese at the opening Serie A match success defeating AC Milan and Pisa just getting draw and current the winning matches Cremonese success defeating several top standings position teams than Pisa not winning one match yet for this season. Pisa performance in Serie A although not quite bad but not winning one match yet after games week 10 I think difficult for defeating Cremonese have 3 of 10 games and getting draw 5 games.
Regarding three promotion Serie A teams in this season Cremonese have better performance than Pisa and Genoa, I don't think Cremonese will loss three points for facing the same promotion teams against Pisa SC.

[verdinio]

This was perhaps Inter Milan's biggest regret last season, finishing second in the points table with just 1 point difference. The competition will be tougher for Napoli this season than last season because this season, other teams in the league, including Inter Milan and AC Milan and Roma, are performing well, so if Napoli's performance is not better than last season, they will soon fall to the bottom of the points table. Ten matches have been completed this season, and Napoli is still at the top of the points table with just one point more than Inter Milan and AC Milan. If Napoli loses points in any of the upcoming matches, on the contrary, AC Milan or Inter Milan will earn full points, but Napoli will fall to the bottom of the points table, so Napoli will have to be careful and maintain a winning streak.

Inter, as Del Piero says, has the strongest squad but it never manages to win direct clashes and it never manages to win important matches, however it has a squad that is clearly stronger than all the others and it shows, then the fact that it cannot do well is another matter, but this year they could easily win

[Jatiluhung]

I wouldn't say it's Napoli as a whole team, it's Antonio Conte. He is an incredible manager for the leagues but he always struggles to obtain results in Europe. And I am very aware of that because I am a Juventus supporter, when he was managing the team we always sucked in Europe and when he left in 2014 we hired Allegri and we immediately reached the Champions League final so the problem was not the team, it was the manager. He simply likes to focus on one competition.

If he truly has this obsession, I think he's completely wrong. Napoli has a quality squad capable of competing in both the Champions League and the Italian league. They're currently top of the table in Italy, but they could also be doing well in the Champions League. Only one win in four matches has been a major problem. They also drew at home against Frankfurt. Everyone expected them to win that match. I think the manager needs to improve on some of his skills.

Confidence crises in major leagues like the Champions League typically occur among the players or within a team's squad. However, it seems the current problem lies with the coach. Conte always seems to lack confidence in his ability to lead his team to compete strongly in European competitions. This isn't unique to his current Napoli coaching career, but has also occurred at several previous clubs.

He's a talented coach, but he seems to lack confidence in the teams he coaches when it comes to competing in European competitions. The same thing happened when he was Chelsea's manager. However, when he coached Inter Milan, he led them to a runner-up finish in the Europa League.

[banana33]

I think that Napoli can have their say and do whatever they want, they have the resources to do very well in the league and if they work hard they can even win it, why not, we know Conte is not a Champions League coach, in the championship it's another story!

Napoli still has a lot to do and work on, it can't continue to rest on its laurels, it's clear that this thing must demonstrate seriousness on the pitch and must lead the boys to follow a concrete path of work with Antonio Conte who is preparing them to win the championship, in my opinion his objective is that

[bastisisca]

I, on the other hand, see new things compared to Tudor, it's clear that Spalletti can't completely revolutionize a team from scratch in a few days.

He is evaluating what needs to be done and is doing it in a way that does not waste the resources he has on the field, clearly this is something that needs to be done over time.

We'll see, continuing to change coaches certainly won't improve the situation.
Spalletti is a good coach, he has a lot of character and he certainly also has a lot of competence.
But that's not enough, you also need players, and Juventus doesn't have quality players at the moment.

If they are not, the fatigue difference will matter.

With the way the Serie A league look to be very competitive this season, I don't think we can predict a team that will win the league title this season. Napoli and Inter Milan don't always play well, and they sometimes surprise us with their performance and are defeated by small teams. Napoli is currently facing an injury crisis, which will be one of the reasons they fail to win the league this season, and Inter Milan also finds it difficult to play against big clubs in Serie A.

Ac Milan and other clubs are still playing well, and they are doing everything possible to return to the top of the table. The Serie A league is very competitive, and winning the league is always difficult, we saw how good Inter Milan played last season and ended up without a trophy, and I still doubt Napoli will win the league title this season.

But that's not enough, you also need players, and Juventus doesn't have quality players at the moment.

Spalletti is a great coach with experience in Serie A, making it easier for him to adapt to Juventus, especially since the current squad is quite capable, Perhaps only a few positions need to be added, Spalletti still has plenty of time and opportunity to build the team the way he wants.
Changing coaches isn't ideal and there are no guarantees but I think there's no harm in improving the team, I believe Juventus management's decision is the right one and that's been proven in several matches, Juventus has started to improve, Now we just need to give Spalletti time to improve this team.

The worst decision Juventus would make this season is sacking Spalletti after replacing him with Tudor not too long from now, it would further weaken the team and seriously mess with the players mentality, those are one of the things that causes serious dressing room situations cause some players won't be able to handle the idea of changing coaches at short intervals. You're right, what the team need is to trust Spalletti and give him more time to try build the team with a handful of players that would easily adapt to his tactics, rebuilding process is not an easy one it requires patience and a coach that's competent as you've said and Spalletti suits the description.

Cremonese is clearly better than Pisa. However, Pisa will be the home team in this match, which could potentially lead to a positive result. Pisa may not be a particularly strong team and could still be considered weak compared to other top-tier teams. However, Pisa cannot be underestimated. I think a draw is the most likely outcome in today's match. Pisa has consistently held their opponents to draws in the past. Even in the match against Lazio, we saw Pisa hold Lazio to a draw. And I think this confirms my prediction that this match will end in a draw or a win for Cremonese.
Cremonese is currently ranked in the top 10. And yes, that shows that Cremonese has indeed become a team worth reckoning with.

Why should they fire Spalletti now? He's only just joined the team and hasn't accomplished anything yet. I think he should at least be given a few months to rebuild the team to suit his personality, and then it will be clearer what he's capable of. Spalletti loves attacking football, he demonstrated that well at Napoli, and I hope he can strengthen Juventus' attack, but that requires new signings, because I think it will be difficult for him to achieve that with the current squad.

Spalletti must deliver instant results in Juventus' performance. His contract is short-term, which indicates that Juventus has specific targets for him to achieve. Otherwise, the club's management is probably already considering several names to replace him. But at least he has until the end of the season to show changes in Juventus. If he fails, we know the outcome.

[Luzin]

Three promoted clubs have managed to stay away from the relegation zone. Cremonese and Sassuolo have performed quite well so far. But Pisa is still quite worrisome as they are in 17th place. This situation makes me quite impressed because defensive teams like Genoa, Fiorentina, and Verona appear worse. There are still many matches to be played and many changes are still expected. Will these three teams be able to stay up?

[m4r1o]

Even with Dybala in the squad, they could not score many goals by bad contributions from their strikers from Dovbyk to Ferguson. This season will be very volatile with Roma by weak attacking power. They rely on midfielders and defenders for goals and this dependence is very dangerous in this long season when they will play in both Serie A and UEFA Europa League. Their strikers must wake up and improve their performances and contributions for Roma as soon as possible for overal performance of the team.

Roma is a great team. I've always said that this year they could be one of the league leaders, but of course they're also unlucky. i have great faith in Gasperini, who i believe is an excellent coach on a par with the greats in Serie A, given what he did with Atalanta.

[changaa]

Cremonese is favored due to their significantly higher points table position than Pisa S.C., but in terms of depth of form, I rate these two clubs equally.
Pisa previously held AC Milan to a draw, and Cremonese previously beat Milan.

In terms of previous meetings between the two clubs, Pisa has the upper hand, having won twice against Cremonese.
So, this won't be an easy match for Cremonese, and the only chance of a draw is a draw.

I think Cremonese is doing very, very well, and they're doing very well too, then there's a player who puts more heart into it than anyone else and that's Baschirotto, a great player, and it shows, i think they're much more advantaged than everyone else, there's nothing that can be done

[paco92x]

When we’re talking about squad strength and depth, Inter, for me, is the one that stands out. But when you factor in that they’ve signed Chivu, who unfortunately hasn’t impressed me, you end up with an average title contender like the rest of them. One thing’s for sure — the Scudetto this year, just like last year, will be a battle until the final round.

[giorgione]

I'm still surprised at Fiorentina sitting comfortably at the relegation zone without making a move to get out of that position, these guys should be among those struggling to finish in the top 5 but they lost that form they showed towards the end of last season and now the only thing they do best is drop point like is nothing. All clubs are not the same, Spurs and UTD were in the final not because they waited to be given a free passage but they got there because of how hard they fought knowing very well that getting to the finals and winning the trophy will grant them an opportunity to play European competition the following season but we can't say same thing about Fiorentina because they haven't been positive in their league and their games outside the Serie A doesn't show that they're getting it right and they lost to Mainz 2-1, so they should try hard, that position isn't good for them.

No surprises, they need to do a good soul-searching and decide what's best for their future. They're playing with all their credibility as a team and as a club here. If they can't climb back up from that position in the league table, they deserve Serie B. There's nothing they can do.

Inter, Milan, and Roma are tied on points in the league table, so with the league still a long way to go and the odds of consistency in every match, Napoli 1point lead doesn't guarantee survival. I think the points difference will be a little clearer by the middle of the season. Oh and I also can't underestimate Como, who finished 10th in their first season and have been even more solid in their second. That's why I've listed Como as a dark horse that might not attract much attention from the top teams.
