Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[barisbilgili]

Exactly! Milan are serious contenders for the Scudetto this year! They have no European commitments, so they can devote themselves heart and soul to Serie A, which will be a huge advantage for them over their rivals Napoli and Inter, who will be playing more matches in quick succession.
But it won't be easy for them, because in my opinion Napoli and Inter have stronger teams than Milan.

I agree with you, unlike last season that they were no where to be found even in the top 4 but this season, it's been different and seriously with the way they performed last season, I didn't expect them to make this kind of comeback. An added advantage to them this season is that they are not going to be having much games in their hands like Napoli and Inter Milan who are up there with them. Gives them more time to be focused on the league and leave their players fresher after a champions league night football.

This is similar to Napoli last season, when they didn't play in European competitions and focused solely on Serie A, Napoli ultimately won the Scudetto last season and the same thing could happen to AC Milan this season.
However I doubt AC Milan's consistency, I think their performance is very poor, This season we can see AC Milan dropping many important points against bottom-tier teams, who they were previously heavily favored to win but they couldn't win. This will be a big problem, in my opinion that could prevent them from winning the title this season.

Juventus’s biggest problem is already the lack of a good striker. They brought in Jonathan David, but he has performed far below expectations. He's not scoring goals properly and is a far cry from his performance in France. Perhaps the tough defense in Italy plays a role. However, I think everyone agrees that the Italian team needs a good striker.

We have been seeing juventus' weak attack for  a long time. Their attack has been weak in the past few seasons. This season , the team has scored only 19 goals in  15 matches. They were  able to score 58 goals last season and only  54 goals in the 23-24 season. Despite having a weak attack in the past few seasons, Juventus has not bought experienced strikers. As a result, we can see the team's irregular performance this season as well.

If Juventus management wants to fight for the title , then they will definitely have to strengthen their squad. They will not  be able to survive in the title fight with this squad.

But Juventus certainly can't make the decision to raise wages, the whole team is a question about each of their matches, it can't be sacrificed just like that, on the other hand their position in the standings has not grown so well, now in fifth position and still far from playing in the top 3, if it enters the top 3 it makes sense, at this time Juventus needs to increase it again and YilDiz still has to do better in the remaining matches this season, whether or not he deserves a salary depends on his consistency, his contract runs out until 2029, still long enough.

If he shows good performance in every match in the future, it will also demonstrate the price that the club should pay for him. I think he has already attracted attention from several clubs, and it is very likely that discussions will take place if there is a club seriously interested in acquiring him. Currently, he is an important player for Juventus, and they should pay more attention to his development and think of ways to prevent him from being tempted if he receives offers from other clubs.

Maybe yes, maybe not. Yildiz has attracted interest from several teams, but so far I don't think he's reached his peak performance, so he needs to work harder if he wants a better salary. I don't think this is adequate or even adequate. Even if a team does take notice of Yildiz in his current situation, Juventus will undoubtedly take advantage and raise his price, which will certainly be an unusual amount, given Yildiz's development.

I hope this player doesn't focus too much on money right now and focuses on his game and skill development. If he can deliver satisfactory performances, he will certainly see a significant increase in his salary.

AS Roma eventually beat Como with a minimal win by a goal of Wesley but they got very important 3 points to secure their fourth position against Como and some other clubs. This win is important by helping Roma continuation in Scudetto competition with Inter Milan, AC Milan and Napoli. This win also makes Serie A more exciting with top four clubs have only 3 points in difference from Inter Milan to Roma, from a first to a fourth position.

In this match, AS Roma again shown that they have good defense by keeping a clean sheet but their attack is weak but somehow they managed to score the only and winning goal by Wesley.

Roma managed to take advantage of the atmosphere at the Olimpico to secure three points, this victory is very important for Roma to maintain its position in the top four while keeping the gap with Juventus to 4 points in 5th place. It is very interesting to see the points collected by the teams currently occupying the top four positions, Roma in fourth place (30 points), Napoli in third place (31 points), Milan in second place (32 points) and Inter at the top of the standings (33 points).

The very narrow points difference makes each team have to be more careful in the next match, because if one of them slips up, your position will change. Roma must be consistent if they want to keep their Scudetto hopes alive, and their attacking creativity needs to be improved to make it easier for them to score goals. I am very confident that Gasperini experience and abilities will make Roma appear in the Champions League next season.

 The Serie A table is looking like a four horse race now with all Inter, Milan, Napoli and Roma all vying for a chance to one up the other. At the moment, Inter lead the standings over their next rivals Milan with a point and it would have been much more challenging had Milan not drawn but rather won their game. Meanwhile Napoli are above Roma with just a point. It's being a while I've seen such competition in the Italian top flight and it's going to make it exciting for those who want to predict who would end up with the scudetto at the end of the season because with such a tight competition and marking, one might not be able to guess who would eventually drop out of the race come next year but for now, with these four teams already on each others necks, let's see who would be able to withstand theheat when it gets much hotter.

[Velvet78]

But Juventus certainly can't make the decision to raise wages, the whole team is a question about each of their matches, it can't be sacrificed just like that

They can at least make an adjustment with the wages. Just look down below. Do you see how much these two strikers make? Insane numbers right? None of them deserves a that high salary.

Especially Vlahovic... He isn't able to meet the expectations with goal amount and he makes at least 22 million euros per year. Just give Yıldız more money instead.

Kenan Yıldız still has a long contract. Therefore, I don't think he'll be negotiating a new contract with Juventus. He has three years left on his contract.

I don't agree with this. Maybe he still has a few years on his contract. But he can ask for more money anyway. Lots of talented players like him do this.

With the four teams at the top of the Serie A standings tied on points, the competition will undoubtedly be even tougher, given that all four teams could still top the standings. If any of them lose their next match, this will undoubtedly be a different story.
Milan's dominance this time is a team worth wary of, as they currently sit in first and second place. Inter recently won their previous match against Genoa, and with those three points, they remain in first place until Week 15. Milan, on the other hand, drew against Sassuolo, leaving them slightly disappointed with the result, given that they were playing at home, resulting in only one point, despite their goal of winning that match.

Roma experienced something different with the presence of a coach who is full of experience so that they also won over the team that is currently the most talked about by many people in the Serie-A title, namely Como, the team coached by Fabregas has always been a fairly difficult opponent for other teams when they fight them even though they have just been promoted to Serie-A but with the strategy implemented by Fabregas, of course the Como team is like a team that has been competing in the competition for a long time so that the victory achieved by Roma was only with a very thin score and this also indicates that they are truly a team that should be taken into account in the Serie-A title this season and should not be underestimated by other teams.

With this result, Milan now trails Inter by three points.
Fiorentina are struggling to win. After losing 2-1 at home to Hellas Verona, Fiorentina are rapidly heading towards relegation. There is no trace of their performance from last season, and they have yet to win any of their 15 league matches. They are bottom of the league with 6 points, and if they don't recover soon, their chances of relegation will increase significantly.

Sassuolo is a revelation team this season, they are really playing well, in my opinion the three revelations are, Sassuolo, Cremonese and Como, three super aggressive teams that are driving the big teams crazy, it's crazy that they are so strong

I agree with you! Sassuolo has been a revelation this year, especially as a newly promoted team. No one expected such a high level of performance from them! We need this in Serie A too! Teams that raise the bar in terms of the difficulty of the championship and cause problems for the more prestigious teams.

[Kaliandra]

Milan drew at home against Sassuolo and suffered a significant loss of points. Teams aiming for the championship should not drop points at home against teams that are, in their view, slightly weaker. Although they took a 2-1 lead early in the second half, they were unable to prevent the goal that came in the 77th minute. With this result, Milan now trails Inter by three points.

It seems that few people expected AC Milan to draw against Sassuolo, a team that was newly promoted this season, but for those who correctly predicted this when placing their bets, the profits were certainly substantial. It seems that many bookmakers were fortunate because many people predicted that AC Milan would win the match, including myself.

AC Milan, which was widely favored to win the championship, has now dropped in the rankings, with Inter now leading the standings and a 1-point difference between Inter and AC Milan. But in my opinion, the draw can still be considered lucky for AC Milan rather than a loss, because if they had lost, it would have widened the point gap between Inter and AC Milan. In my opinion, Allegri must now improve AC Milan's performance and build the team's mentality to get back on track. AC Milan still has a chance to win the Scudetto because the point difference with Inter is minimal. Unexpected things always happen, so I guess I need to be more careful next time I place a bet.

[martinom]

Because if it continues like this, Juventus will likely have a very difficult time winning the Scudetto. Because the current performance of Juventus' rival teams is really much better, so if Juventus' performance is only limited to this, I don't think they will be able to become number 1 in Serie A.

I'd say they finally, played as a team. The road to recovery is still very long, though. It takes time to convince, win again, and recover. In any case, fifth place isn't bad at the moment; it means they'd definitely qualify for a European Cup!!

Roma surprised me in a positive way and in fact with Gasperini they are managing to do what no other coach had managed before, and i must say that this climate makes the team very difficult to beat and when they are at home they really play a beautiful game, right now i hope they can go to the Champions League

Yes, that's a crazy figure, and frankly, Juventus can't lower his salary because they already signed a previous contract. What happened with Vlahovic and Jonathan Daid didn't meet the previous management's expectations. Raising Yildiz's salary now would certainly be a heavier burden, even though Yildiz essentially deserves the salary from Juventus.

We don't know the terms of the Juventus contract, whether they can lower a player's salary when they don't perform to expectations. If they can, it could be a step to expedite Yildiz's request for a higher salary.

Since Inter have finally gotten that top spot in the Serie A can they remain in that same form of winning games to continue their reign as league leaders? Or are they going to sit at the top for just a week? The other teams are still eying that position especially Ac Milan and Napoli, I think if Inter lose that position it will be hard for them to top. If I'm to choose who will be the league leader till the end of 2025 I will go for Napoli because they look weak but capable of occupying the number one position.

[pewboy]

inter and ac milan are both competing really hard for the title, I can't really conclude that inter would win the league just because they won this game, to me they are still very unstable and any team can take up the first position from them soon...inter indeed has the greatest comeback so far but will they be able maintain it? that's the main question..something tells ac milan would win the title

it's a very close battle, obviously this is something we're seeing now and it seems like just a two-way battle but in reality there are many strong teams that can do well, now they just have to be careful of possible attacks from behind from the other teams, like Juventus who are selling on

It will be difficult to say for sure whether Inter will manage to stay at the top of the table or not. Unfortunately, Inter are unable to win a direct clash and the next match will be quite complicated because they have to face Atalanta!
So I think they will possibly remain at the top of the table for a few weeks, but I think it will be tough for them.

I did not know about that even I knew that Como tried a lot to convince Fabregasc staying with them, but I did not pay attention on what Como did to successfully keep Cesc at their club in the summer. Total money they spent for buying players in the summer shared is surprising with me, so how did they manage to have that big budget for transfers?

They are a small club in Italy and did they receive massive investment from any big entity in the summer?

They are owned by a private company ownedthese two brothers each with a net worth $25 billions.
So $500 million would be 1% of their total wealth, not mentioning they get the promotion for their own brand in that deal.

Funny thing, they abandoned their own football sponsorship in Indonesia and went for Italy, where their products are basically unknown and in the EU it's pretty hard to find any in some countries even if you look for them.

The current standings do not provide much certainty for any team, neither Inter, Milan, Napoli nor Roma.
They are all separated by just one point in the table, so a misstep could prove costly at this stage! Furthermore, Juventus appears to be recovering from a difficult period. I believe it is too early to predict who will win the Scudetto! Perhaps by March we will have a clearer picture.

This season's Serie A is more competitive than  any previous season. The giants of serie A are fighting for the title. And each team has the potential to become champions. At the same time, the performance of each  team is a bit erratic. So  every few weeks we see big changes in the table. A few days ago, Inter milan was in fourth place in the table. Now Inter milan is at the top of the table. I am excluding Roma from  the title fight. This team has been  at the top of the table for a long time. But their attack is weak. With such a weak  attacking lineup , it will not be possible for them to play consistently well  for the entire season.

[bastisisca]

Sassuolo has always been Milan's nemesis!

Unfortunately, we can't forget that Inter's Scudetto year was a real blow to us.
So i have respect for this little team that manages to put Milan in trouble and not only that, very good, every time we play against them i have a kind of all in my heart
