Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[MK-74]

Milan drew 2–2 at home against Sassuolo and dropped 2 points in the title race.
It was a very critical loss of points for Milan, I didn’t expect them to drop points at home against this team.

Napoli lost 1–0 away to Udinese. Napoli had more possession, but they couldn’t create clear chances and didn’t even register a shot on target. It was a poor defeat.

Inter are currently leading Genoa 2–0 and are making very good use of their rivals’ dropped points. If they win, they will go top of the table.

A massive victory for Hellas Veron again. All three of your goals were amazing!! The win has probably push them off the bottom of the table.
In their last match, Atalanta's attacks were practically non-existent... Thank goodness for VAR, otherwise they wouldn't have seen the Verona defender's handball. Zappacosta's attitude before the first goal said it all.  just raises his arm to appeal for offside and gives up running. Pathetic. Their Players were fighting hard for Paolo Zanetti and they get their full rewards.
I knew Fiorentina were in trouble. Atalanta firmly in the bottom half of the table now as the teams chasing for the European places continue to push away.

Once again, Inter’s path to glory will be rewarded not by themselves, but by other contenders. Simply put, how can everyone fail to win their games and then pretend to be title challengers? Milan had victory in their hands, and in the end they can be thankful that they managed to secure a draw, considering how Sassuolo played at the end of the game.

Napoli are so unpredictable this season. Just after starting to feel like they were getting better, things went upside down again. First the loss against Benfica and the Udinese one followed it. They couldn't score any goal in both too!

Anguissa and De Bruyne both are out for a couple of months at least. This weakens their midfield. There is good news for Conte though. His beloved Lukaku is about to recover. Only one day to go according to expectations.

When he comes back I wonder what his plan will be.

- A double forward system with Lukaku - Højlund?

- Or the same one but Lukaku replacing Højlund?

The answer is clear Conte will bench Hojlund again, and put Lukaku as his starter. The main reason his club took Hojlund as a loan from MU to be Lukaku's backup. Once Lukaku is fit, Hojlund can wear his seatbelt on the bench again. He always uses 343, which impossible to put Lukaku and Hojlund upfront together.

Lecce is primarily a home team; at least, they used to score most of their points at home. But they've always been inconsistent, which is why they're near the relegation zone. They'll play their next two matches at home, they'll likely win the first against Pisa, and they might not win the second against Como. They'd better pick up points in that match, too, because they have a very tough stretch ahead, facing Juventus, Roma, Inter, Milan, and Lazio. So they'll need to focus on winning their home games in the coming games.

I think Como is the best team currently among the new entries in the championship and i think it will remain there for a long time. i see them very focused on the objective and they can really win something if they commit themselves, the money is there and the project seems very positive to me.

The level of productivity they have attained currently is enough to agreeing to this statement, Como has been so productive with really excellent performance recently, they have shown that capacity to not declining any soon and yes it is very possible they will be staying  there for the longest and yeah possible  not going  any below top 10 by the end of the season.

it's just halftime and Inter Milan has drawn a stern footprint that they all came for the business, and there are not planning to joke about that. 2 goals on ground would make me sick to play the next round if I were a striker in Genoa CfC. There's always a turning point in football, but maybe not just today for them? Inter really needs to secure this win, although there's still a big difference on the league table between them and Milan on the 2nd position, but some random team on the 16th position should not been given any points at this moment.

I don’t think anyone may have expected these two teams to lose points in today’s match, with their current form compared with the opponents they played against today. With these teams’ positions, they are always expected to remain consistent, but it seems the teams are trying to change. If they can continue like this, it is possible that Inter Milan will be the team to win the Serie A.

It is not that this result has determined the winner of the league, but it is really contributing gradually. Now Inter Milan is leading with two goals; that means they have a higher probability of winning the match, which will make them take over the top position from AC Milan, who had been in first place before and were expected to remain there and probably win the league, as they did not have any European competition to play.

I'm completely tongue-tied about AC Milan, they're having no other major European competition played bit they fumble important chances they have to sit on top of the league. This drew result makes no sense,  these should call for improvement and possible players signature during the transfer window few weeks ahead.

Back to back lose for Napoli, both in the Champions League and league, if this is how badly they played they played last season, there's no way they'd have won the league this way. Inter Milan are opportunist, they have seized the chance they have to go back on top.

The nuance is that Como has the best defense in Serie A, they worsened their statistics only in the last round, losing to Inter 0-4, if not for this score, they would now have only 7 goals conceded, but even so, their statistics are impressive - they have 2 defeats, only Milan is better. But it will be an away game for Como... all the circumstances suggest that a bet on 0-0 is safe 
This round started off in a classic Serie A fashion – three games tied 1-0, haha. It will be very logical if the last one ends with a score of 0-0.

Conversely, they are also not that amazing on offense though. They scored only 19 goals, above them only Roma is doing better with less goals because Gasperini is marvellous when it comes to that, but even below them there are few teams that scored as much, which goes to show that Como may be doing not too bad on defense, but not that great on offense.

If they were capable of scoring a bit more then they would have been ranked higher too. One thing is sure though, they are definitely trying their best and as a newly rich team they are getting players that can fit their system as much as possible.

SSC Napoli have lost woefully to Udinese today again, even after losing to Benfica on the UCL fixtures. So the question is, what exactly have they been preparing for after that huge loss? Were they not supposed to expect a tough opponent, but defeat and find a better spot on their local league since they only have one shot in the UCL?

I mean, I was even happy to see Hoglund and Mctominay doing so well for Napoli against Juve. Hopefully Hojlund will return to United a better and more confident player. Every player lives their best life whenever they leave United, and we have just witness it in this classic match. They still need to get back to the drawing board as they've lost 2 out of their last 5 matches.

Yesterday and Friday, all the favorites have done their job, today....mad cow disease!

Milan 2-2 with Sassuolo at home, I don' t even know where to start...
Keeping Nkunku, whatever his name is, and pulling Pulisic?
Gabia and Tomori? Seriously, when is enough enough?
Also stop relying on Modric, the hype is over!

Pulling out Pulisic, who saved their ass with Torino and keeping a failure on their field while trying to defend against Sassuolo at home...wtf is wrong with you?
Defending at 2-1 at home...

Udinese beats Napoli, 4x, Verona beats Fiorentina 4x!
Let's see, Bologna is 3.5 on beating Juve, that would be a thing

Milan had victory in their hands, and in the end they can be thankful that they managed to secure a draw, considering how Sassuolo played at the end of the game.

The fact is that Milan doesn't have the squad depth to maintain a consistent result. I am not particularly surprised about the results that they are turning up now , it doesn't matter if they are playing in Europe or not looking at this Milan squad I don't believe that they can stay at the top for a long period because teams that stay at the top requires a squad depth that is deep. I don't believe that Milan is actually going for the scudetto title this season the best that they can get is a top four finish.

The whole league is mad actually. I cannot believe every round there is a new leader. It is like Napoli being first then it says sorry to Roma you can take it and Roma says to AC Milan it is yours then it says to Inter no it is your turn. This is madness.
Napoli was defeated by Udinese, a team in the other half of the table. Same goes for AC Milan and Sassuolo but it was a draw. I am waiting to see Roma and Como switching places!

[mvdheuvel1983]

Udinese managed to take home all three points. Their tactics were very successful here. Their quick passing and solid midfield allowed them to create 16 shots. If they had been more effective, they might not have scored just one goal today. On the other hand, I'm very disappointed with Napoli's performance. This isn't what they always show. I'd say their performance was very poor today.

Napoli were unlucky this time, even though they had a chance to move top of the table, overtaking AC Milan, who only managed a draw. 18 total shots, 8 and 10.
This was a sign of Udinese's overconfidence or a Runjaic strategy of seeking luck, even though Savic managed four saves. Napoli's performance wasn't too bad, but Udinese played more daringly with interceptions throughout the match. However, Udinese's midfield was dominant, making the 1-0 victory a deserved victory for Udinese.

Not really, Napoli was only unlucky because they didn't concede more than 1 goal in the match they didn't deserve to win the game today because they played like a weak team, they enjoyed ball possession but their were zero chances created from Napoli which makes it very difficult for them to get the chance of winning the game. Had they won the game it would have been an opportunity to overtake Milan after they 2:2 draw against Sassuolo,  but they have made it easy for Inter Milan as they moved back k to the top following their 1:2 win over Genoa.

It is very sad for Napoli to lose the match 0-1 against Udinese. And it can also be called their misfortune. Because that team cannot play better than Napoli. There was not much excitement in the whole game. After conceding a goal in the 73rd minute, Napoli could not recover and unfortunately lost the match. If Napoli lost the match despite having such an opportunity, it is difficult to accept. If they had won today's match, Napoli could have easily gone to the first position in the points table. This was a big miss for them, it was a very easy match for them.

It truly shows the competitiveness of the league, no team can say they will lose a game or draw a game and still remain top. Serie A is where the real competition is now, last season it was the same thing and this season it's the same thing with AC Milan is in the picture unlike last season. AC Milan drew and I was hoping for Napoli to take over with a win it they ended up dropping all 3 points and Inter Milan who started off 3rd took Advantage of the what happened to both AC Milan and Napoli and gathered the 3 points for themselves which was enough to lead the league table for this week.

I had commented here that if Inter won today's game and Napoli lost today's game, then Inter would stay at the top of the table and would hardly fall from that position, and could even become champions, because I believe that now Inter will distance itself from all other rivals like Napoli and Milan because those two teams are very inconsistent and could still lose many points in the coming games, while Inter is already stable and will hardly lose many points in the games ahead.

[bitgolden]

One thing we are not talking too much about is Atalanta, not many people take a look at it but the reality is that ever since Gasperini left, they have been doing not so great. Even though they fired their bad manager, juric or whatever, they still didn't recover too much.

Six points in the last three games is actually pretty decent, and I am wondering if it could be start of something better for them at all. Because they really need to get starting on some wins if they want to finish better, they are at the moment 11th in the league and that is not good enough, they should be at least in conference league if nothing else.

[Adiljutt156]

I don’t share in this your optimism towards this smaller clubs and why you feel Napoli and Lazio will lose not even draw. I don’t see how this will work out, Napoli has not been very impressive overall but their league performance has been a bit better.

Parma 3.70 vs Lazio 2.13.
Udinese 4.60 vs Napoli 1.87.
From these odds, it's clear that the match won't be easy, especially for Lazio. Perhaps we'll see a surprise in their match.

Tonight we have Leece face Pisa, a battle between bottom guys, I have no one as favourites the match can go both ways.

Lecce ended with a narrow victory, and I'd even say they could have won more if they'd been more clinical in attack. Pisa couldn't do anything on the pitch, but Lecce still earned three important points, temporarily moving them out of the relegation zone.

We saw good competition between these two teams because we saw only 1 goal in this match. Štulić was a person who did goal at 72 minutes and no other player could do any goal in this match and stars of that team was also good in this match . Their shots were 17 and 3 shots were on target and possession percentage of that team was brilliant in this match which was 57 percent and opponent team stats was very low in this match which were 2 and 0 shots were on target and possession percentage of that team was low in this match which was 43 percent in this match.  The passes of that team were also less in this match which were only 336 and that team could not not do any goal at the end of the match.

inter is currently ahead of milan with just a point, it is difficult to predict which of them is actually going to win the title because the competition between them is tough. Napoli's loss is not even a surprise to me, they had multiple chances but they ended blowing all of it. They have been very inconsistent this season, winning the league is not going to be possible for them because of how they perform
