Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[TelolettOm]

Hojlund has performed quite well so far. However, relying on him alone isn't enough to keep Napoli winning consistently, especially against opponents who may be much stronger. They've also relied on Lucca at times, but the results haven't been as optimal.

Coming to Napoli as an alternative for Lukaku who got a severe injury in the summer, Hojlund quickly adapted to Napoli and Serie A, perhaps with his experience there before his transfer to Manchester United. Now he is important in Napoli attacking system, not only with goal scoring task but also has good connections with his teammates and can support them well.

Oh yes, you're right, McTominay, again, a former Manchester United player. When he leaves a club, his performance immediately improves significantly at his new club. Since 2024, he has made a significant contribution to the club. Both McTominay and Hojlund have continued to develop and optimize since leaving Manchester United, and their decision to leave the club and join Napoli was the right one.

Yes, at least for Hojlund, although he's still on loan, he can be really serious about this. He can be compared to the achievements of his replacement at Manchester United. He could be just as successful at Napoli, but the race is still long, so he can make more contributions to Napoli.

I would say that winning the Supercoppa will give Napoli players more confidence in the  upcoming matches. I do not  expect anything better from them in the champions league. Anyway, their performance in the Serie A matches is likely to be stronger.

I wouldn't call Napoli's squad very strong. They have a lot of weaknesses. Napoli should focus only on serie A. Then they will  be able to maintain their performance in the serie A platform. It is very difficult for a team like napoli to perform  well consistently in both the champions league and Serie A platforms. If they  focus only on one  side, it will be easier for napoli to maintain their performance.

Their success in winning the Italian Supercoppa undoubtedly boosted Napoli's morale, and they immediately shifted their focus to Serie A. Despite their lack of consistent performance, the Partenopei still have a strong chance of winning the Scudetto this season.

Conte is a seasoned coach who knows what it takes to achieve his goals. The Supercoppa trophy will be a driving force, and the victory over Bologna was no fluke but a result of his skill in team building.

Looking at the Italian league, Inter are leading despite four defeats, while Milan are second with one defeat. Napoli are following closely behind in third place. There's a one-point difference between each team, and the weekend will bring another match week. The toughest match will undoubtedly be Inter's, as they will be facing Atalanta, who have been playing exceptionally well lately. Atalanta will be striving to beat Inter at home, and their chances of doing so are very high.

Yes, it's quite interesting to see how tight the competition at the top of the Serie A standings is. So, I'm right to say that Serie A is currently the most competitive league in Europe.

And it's not just the standings that are quite tight; the competition for Serie A's top scorers is also quite intense. In the top three, we have Lautrao Martinez with 8 goals, C. Pulisic with 7 goals, and Hakan Calhanoglu and Riccardo Orsolini with the same number of goals, namely 6 goals.

And returning to the competition in the Serie A standings, here we see that the talents who have been in the middle of the table for several weeks are slowly climbing their positions and entering the top ten, occupying ninth place temporarily. But I expect their position in the standings will continue to rise. And meanwhile I also continue to pay attention to the performance of the team coached by Cesc Fabregas, where it seems that Como FC is quite shaky in maintaining its consistency to be able to achieve victory, in their last two matches, Como FC had to swallow the bitter pill of defeat, for the next match they will face Lecce, this should be an opportunity for them to be able to return to the winning track.

Manchester United has a problem in their setup and that is evident in the players whose has left Manchester United and has gone to do well in their new clubs, the problem is not the players but the system that exists in the Manchester United lineup. Until Manchester United gets it right in the way that things work at the club more players may struggle and leave and go ahead to their new clubs to impress.


Hojluud, Mctominay, Radford etc are all evident that, these players has what it takes to play in the United setup. Another thing that affects the players in Manchester United has been the frequent changes in management. Players finds it difficult to adapt to the playing patterns of different coaches. Manchester United needs to get a stable Coach because I believe that the change in the coaching cre affects the performance of the players, so I support the statement from Conte that there is something that the united setup is not doing right when it comes to players performance.Conte understand how to use players to their maximum and that is what is lacking in the Manchester United team looking at the way that these two players has been playing ever since joining Napoli you can see that their former coach were not doing something right that Conte is doing now.

The toughest match will undoubtedly be Inter's, as they will be facing Atalanta, who have been playing exceptionally well lately. Atalanta will be striving to beat Inter at home, and their chances of doing so are very high.

Despite everything inter are doing everything possible just to continue topping the table and this is exactly what will lead them to winning the trophy because one of the most important thing is actually consistency when a club is consistent despite their challenges to worry about and what I know in the Serie A is that the trophy is going to be among either inter or Napoli. Inter are just 2 point away from Napoli so if they don't take action quickly then it's going to be very difficult for them to continue as the number one on the table.

And if another match should start don't be surprised to see napoli being second on the table and the moment Napoli become second on the table that will make everything more difficult for Inter and this is why inter needs to be very attentive to their problem so that they will be able to continue winning game, because that is the only way they can stay number one on the table so it is very important to maintain consistency. And since they Inter will be facing Atalanta and this might be a threat to there position.

Atalanta's last game was against Genoa, and in that game, a Genoa player received a red card three minutes into the first half. One might imagine that Atalanta would win easily and score many goals, but that didn't happen at all. Atalanta only managed to score one goal, which came in the final minutes, around 90+4, showing that Atalanta had difficulty beating an opponent with only 10 players. Against Inter, I honestly see their chances of winning as very low. In my opinion, Inter will beat Atalanta.

For now, Napoli can focus more on Serie A, because that is where they are currently the favorites. Meanwhile, in other competitions such as the UCL, they are not really favored due to their quality there.
Conte may prefer to prioritize Serie A because he feels that Napoli's squad depth is only capable of competing in domestic competitions. For some reason, they sometimes look quite poor in the UCL. However, in Serie A and other Italian competitions like the Supercoppa Italiana, they can still show decent strength. I think the goal is to win as many trophies as possible in local competitions first. And perhaps next season, when the squad depth is much more mature, Napoli and Conte will be ready for bigger competitions like the UCL.

While not to belittle Ruben Amorim managerial abilities, I think Conte is right. Hojlund and Rashford are both players who represent something is wrong at Manchester United right now, and I think both players would be better off not considering a return to their parent club after their loan spells end. Hojlund has scored seven goals in all competitions for Napoli so far, and with his improved form, Conte may ask Napoli to make his move permanent next season.

Hojlund has scored seven goals in all competitions for Napoli so far, and with his improved form, Conte may ask Napoli to make his move permanent next season.

I concur with the majority of the information presented here. The fact that Hojlund has been improving under Conte at Napoli is a clear indication that the player never lacked quality, and the conditions and the clear presence of tactics were lacking in Manchester United. Constant shifts in the managers disrupt development of the players and young players are unable to get used to a specific position. Conte has a system that is organized and challenging and is aware of how to exploit the strengths of a player and this can be seen in the goal output of Hojlund and his general confidence. This comparison shows how there is more wrong with United, as opposed to individual failing of players. Provided that this form is not lost, Napoli would have excuse in demanding a permanent deal.

I also agree with what Conte said, and I also see several players besides Hojlund and Rashford who could also thrive in other teams, such as McTominay and Antony Matheus. So, what Conte said is true, and this was even before Ruben Amorim became Manchester United manager, and everyone can see the development of the other new players who are now at Manchester United. They didn't even improve while in the team, so I also think the problem lies within Manchester United itself, not the players or the manager.

They didn't even improve while in the team, so I also think the problem lies within Manchester United itself, not the players or the manager.

Manchester United's quality before Amorim's arrival had actually returned to its golden era with the quality of players they had before joining other teams. With Amorim's arrival many of those players with more quality chose to join other teams rather than stay at Manchester United because they knew that if they chose to stay their playing time would decrease day by day. They thought it was better to play for a team where they could get playing time. We can see this in Serie A where several former Manchester United players have played and also in La Liga.

They are all actually top players but they seem to be left alone by the coaches by choosing players who may only be popular during the World Cup or other events, even though they like Hojlund, Rashford, McTominay, are not inferior in quality to the players who are still at Manchester United at this time because maybe the players who are currently still at Old Trafford came as new players and with new words maybe the coach feels guaranteed with their quality so that players like Hojlund, Rashford, McTominay have to look for a new team because their quality is below the new players who came and this is one of the very bad things according to our understanding as true Manchester United fans.

I concur with your thoughts and the remarks of Conte are very coherent. Both Hojlund and Rashford have demonstrated that they can perform well when they are put in the right environment and their current shape emphasizes the fact that there is a lot more potential in Manchester United that has not been realized. Apparently it is apparent that the problems are not only in the players or the manager but rather are in the system and method of the club. The players such as McTominay and Antony Matheus have not grown as anticipated, an aspect that substantiates the same. Should Napoli take the step of making Hojlund transfer permanent, then it would be his best bet of growth. After all, it is about having the right environment in which talent can indeed thrive.

This is true, as some players don't develop at all while at Manchester United, and when they're out on loan, they perform much better and are able to make a significant impact on the team. While it might be difficult to determine who is at fault, I agree that the environment sometimes doesn't support a player's development, perhaps because the manager's approach isn't appropriate. Rashford is currently developing quite well at Barcelona and his presence has even helped Barcelona achieve a much better position. Conversely, McTominay and Hojlund have had a significant impact on Napoli, as their presence at Napoli has brought about real change.

Well it's satisfying to see Mc Tominay and Hojlund performing well again and it seems like Manchester united is the problem and not the players because every player that leaves there seems to be performing better. Hojlund adaptation is fast, this is what everyone wants in a player.

I am impressed with Hojlund since joining Napoli but sometimes I can't help but keep thinking that Hojlund maybe Hojlund is not a player built for the biggest teams maybe he is a player that plays better in average teams or maybe the coach has a hand in his performance since joining the club. We know not everyone can play and succeed in top teams so if Hojlund can do better at Napoli then it's a good thing for him. I hope he finalize his permanent move to Napoli and doesn't go back to Manchester United again. They already have Sesko and Cunha I don't even think United will want to keep him anymore.

[bastisisca]

Still 22 rounds remaining in this season, while things are not easy to predict about which team is going to be staying in top ranks but due to recent few results, it's going to be interesting. Inter Milan going to visit Atlanta while the other teams have easy games. This will make some differences but Inter Milan is having good combination of team squad, and they are also able to make things favourable due to their consistency.

It's still too early to try to predict who the favorites are; we're too far from the finish line, not to mention they're all just a few points away. One mistake is enough to completely overturn the standings once again.
In these conditions, it is very difficult to predict, in fact i think the odds are high.

[changaa]

Roma has a great coach, I've always liked him and honestly i would have liked to see him at Milan.
Not that i dislike Massimiliano Allegri, after all he's a good coach too, even if i don't like the style of play he gives his teams. Obviously we are talking about personal tastes

You're right, Gian Piero Gasperini is a good coach maybe not great as you said but he's proved to be good at Atalanta, he's currently doing fine at Roma and gradually making them a tough team again. Yeah I believe he'll be a good coach at Milan based on the resource at his disposal to sign quality players and manage them well, however Milan is not done with Allegri yet since he's doing good as well.

Yes, he was very good in the past and knew how to manage everything correctly. For me, he is a great coach.
i am not complaining, after Coinceicao and Fonseca, Allegri is finally a good coach.
I hope to see Milan grow because they have been two horrible years.

That makes it difficult to predict who is the favorite to win. With a very thin point difference like that, all possibilities can occur. It's different if we compare it with the BUndesliga, for example, where Bayern Munich has led by a far point difference from its competitors.

While in Serie A all can still beat each other, especially this is also not past half the season. But this is what makes the competition more interesting, because we are faced with intense competition. not just 2 teams that have a close point difference, there are at least 5 teams that are competing.

We're still halfway through the championship, so it doesn't worry me at all.
Imagine, i support Roma and they are one of the four teams in the running to win the Scudetto.

I can say that i am truly satisfied with the performance of my beloved team, the one from the Eternal City.

[iamsange]

Their lack of playing time at Manchester United forced McTominay and Hojlund to seek new opportunities in teams that truly needed their talents as they possessed the same qualities as other players. However McTominay and Hojlund's choice of Napoli was a perfect choice especially since Napoli is currently managed by a coach whose experience is undeniable having just won the Supercoppa Italiana.

Hojlund's reputation may not be like that of other players, but he is a player who is willing to work hard and who likes to improve on his weaknesses. If a mistake occurs he will naturally correct it after a match aiming to avoid repeating the same mistake in future matches. This is evident at Napoli where Hojlund has always been Conte's choice. His first goal in leaving Manchester United was to find playing time and this time he has found it at Napoli. Hojlund is one of the strikers who has been taken into account by other teams when facing Napoli because every time he plays his instinct to score is very open sometimes luck is not on his side.

So you're implicitly giving me reason also for Fiorentina striker Moise Kean.
Already eyed by many teams, I believe this player will not last long at Fiorentina, because I don't think he wants to sacrifice a year of his career to go to Serie B.
so I already see him out of the purple team
