Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[impulse709]

AC Milan and Napoli are only a few points behind Inter. So for now, there are no reasons to say that Inter can easily become champions this season. On the contrary, everything points to the fact that the race for the Scudetto this season will be very intense. As for Chivu, they recently lost in Bologna in the Coppa Italia semifinal. Therefore, it is still too early to say how successful Chivu start at Inter will be.

Inter are certainly not safe at this point and in Week 16 they have a high risk of dropping points as they face a formidable opponent Atalanta. This contrasts with their rivals Milan and Nopli who will face opponents ranked below them in Week 16 making them likely to win the league easily.

Two defeats in the last three games played prove that Inter is not in consistent form, the game against Atalanta is very important for Inter to secure their position at the top of the standings. The advantage of the rivals facing a small team in the same week puts Inter under pressure, If they make a mistake that results in losing points, they will be in danger of losing their position at the top of the standings.
Atalanta are no pushovers either, despite currently sitting in 9th place, they are a force to be reckoned with. They have won their last three matches, including a victory over Chelsea in the Champions League.

I concur that Inter are by no means comfortable leaders at this point of the season. Their new image has been irregular and the defeat in two out of the three matches is not without reason to worry. The confrontation with Atalanta is more-so risky, because their standing in the league does not indicate their actual capabilities of strength or the given pace. At the same time, Milan and Napoli that have relatively weaker rivals puts additional strain on Inter to perform. Any mishap might soon re-arrange the positions. This game might be a breakthrough that will either make Inter true champions or mere early leader.

Napoli fans want the championship more than anything. They achieved it last year, and they can do it again this year. They know it. Antonio Conte is a very valuable manager, especially for Napoli. Although they are not in a very good position in the Champions League, they are still one of the most serious contenders for the Italian league title. Yes, a few teams are still in the championship race, but we must say that Napoli is one of the most serious contenders. With the way they play, they are in a better position than the other teams.

Yes, Napoli is currently considered a fairly good team in Serie A, and therefore, it's not surprising that they still have a chance to become Serie A champions again. However, I believe Napoli needs to improve their performance. In their last Serie A match, they lost to Udinese, and Conte, as Napoli's coach, clearly needs to address this. If Napoli's inconsistent performance continues, it's clear they won't be able to win the Scudetto this season. Napoli has also dropped to third place in Serie A, two points behind leaders Inter Milan. Therefore, Conte needs to improve his team.

Furthermore, Napoli will face Cremonese next week, and I hope they can get all three points in this match. Because if Napoli cannot get three full points in this match, they will definitely be even further behind in terms of points difference from Inter. But I'm confident that, given Cremonese's current poor form, Napoli will likely win this match. However, Napoli should still be cautious, as this match will be played at Cremonese's home ground.

Inter Milan two defeating in last three games is not Serie A matches but UEFA Champion League and Suppercoppa Italia match, I don't think make Inter get weakness position for facing Atalanta in this week. Inter still on the top confidence performance despite eliminate at Suppercoppa Italiana and loss from Liverpool because still leading the top Serie A standings, against Atalanta upcoming match great chance to revenge after two losses and defend the first position because one point remaining with Milan at second position.

Atalanta performing well only in Champion League but has inconsistent performance in Serie A, this season until matchday 16 have dropped to 9th position as usual standings of Atalanta on the top fourth. Atalanta only won 5 of 16 matches, draw 7 matches and have loss 4 matches actually bad statistic compare with last season performance.

Inter's current UCL performance is slightly different from their performance in previous seasons. This time their performance seems to have declined slightly. This is quite different from the previous season when they were one of the most dangerous teams in the UCL. However with their impressive results this season what are the obstacles they are currently facing?
While they are currently at the top of the Serie A standings that doesn't guarantee their continued success as they are only a point behind the teams below them. Therefore they will need to maximize their chances against Atalanta to avoid losing their position at the top of the standings although many have suggested that Inter's concentration has waned somewhat this year.

And this is a different thing experienced by Atalanta where this season they are doing well in the UCL event rather than in the Serie-A competition meaning that with a new coach in their current squad they are still the strongest team in the Champions League so that what they are experiencing is quite different from Inter who have turned their concentration to what they did this season for us Atalanta actually still really need points in the Serie-A event but with the departure of Gian Piero Gasperini to Roma they are quite disappointed with the decision taken by the club not to retain Gian Piero Gasperini who everyone knows is one of the great coaches with quite extraordinary experience.

After calculating the head-to-head results between Atalanta and Inter Milan, it turns out that Atalanta has never defeated Inter Milan in the last 15 matches.

It seems that even at their best, Atalanta has never managed to defeat Inter Milan. Given Atalanta's current condition, they should be even more doubtful.

Previous head-to-head records can certainly be considered when deciding on a bet, but recent form is more important. While I agree that Atalanta current situation is quite unpredictable, with surprise losses to smaller teams, they are still capable of putting up a fight against the big boys. For example, their matches against Juventus and Milan both ended in draws. And remember, they are the home team against Inter next week, so I think a safe bet is BTTS (yes) at odds of 1.64 to avoid any potential upsets.

I believe that you had a balanced judgment. The historical data clearly gives an advantage to Inter, and it is difficult to deny that there is a psychological advantage of being unbeaten in the past 15 matches. That notwithstanding, history alone cannot be relied upon, particularly in Serie A, and the lack of consistency in Atalanta in the recent past is a worry, but being able to beat Juventus and Milan indicates that they are not yet incapable of competing with the best. They are also motivated to play at home. Due to that, I do agree that BTTS (Yes) will be a more reasonable and less risky choice compared to supporting a straight win as this match has yet to be upset.

I think a BTTS prediction might be a better one. It's uncertain which team will win. Although Inter have the advantage on paper, these games are played on the pitch, and the team that plays well on a given day wins. Right now, Inter are in the championship race, competing with Milan, Napoli, and Roma. Atalanta is a very strong opponent; they've only lost three of their last ten matches. Therefore, with their improving form, Atalanta poses a threat to Inter. It will be a difficult match to predict the winner.

I'm also curious about Fiorentina's matches, who are in the relegation zone. Last week they achieved a great success by scoring five goals and winning their first match of the season. This week they will play Parma away. Parma will be playing at home and will be looking for three points. Fiorentina, on the other hand, will be looking for another victory to build on their win last week.

This season may be too tough for Inter in the Champions League, as the teams competing in the competition have corrected the mistakes made in the previous season. Inter are currently focused solely on the Serie A title, which has put them at the top of the standings. Although their points tally isn't that far off from the teams below them, they seem to be more focused on that competition than the Champions League.
While Inter did reach the Champions League final last season, their strength this season has weakened them somewhat, especially since their results in the Champions League have been subpar. Therefore, they are now shifting to competitions that may be more secure, as we see them.

By not being trained anymore by the coach who brought them to the Champion event and also who gave them strength that was feared by many teams, of course this season they are quite different from Atalanta's performance this season so that in the Serie-A event this season they are quite far from their current position so that their performance can be seen with the departure of coach Gian Piero Gasperini who joined their rivals As Roma so that currently the Roma team is more dominant with the arrival of Gian Piero Gasperini to the As Roma team making them like Atalanta when coached by Gian Piero Gasperini, but currently Atalanta is still struggling to improve their position in the standings so that next season they will still take part in the UCL competition.

Juventus has officially stated that the club will not be sold, a statement made by the club's owner. John Elkann told this to the media. The Elkann family's history began 100 years ago. The Elkann family has consecutively been the owners of Juventus. The offer for Juventus came from Theter. This situation is certainly an important motivation for the players. The last match against Roma also serves as motivation due to the important victory. In the last 7 matches, Juventus has won 8 times, and this is a good projection. The next match is against Pisa, Juventus should be able to win again.

Assume the club will be sold out I don't think Juventus management would have bought some players last summer, because they still believe on their players that they can still improve the club in the future. If the Elkann family flash back some of the challenges they face to build this club to this stage many wealthy men and women wish to buy from the Elkann family, I don't think anything will make Elkann family to sell this club than to change the coach and see what will happen before the end of this tournament, because there are many clubs have improved suddenly in this Italian league.

Juventus is playing with weak club in their next game, I believe Juventus will use that game to make their fans experience lovely Christmas celebration, because they will beat their opponent to secure 3 points.

[bastisisca]

A competition and this does not mean they do not need to focus on the UCL title, but the competition in the competition is getting fiercer so rather than being disturbed by their performance in the UCL event it is better to maintain their Serie-A title because they have a fairly large chance of maintaining their position as defending champions in the competition they won last season.

It makes sense to try to win the Serie A title; in Italy it's a truly prestigious title and it unlocks many other advantages, such as the Champions League.
The fact is that as a title it is easier to win than the Champions League, the competition is less fierce and therefore it is an easier goal to achieve.

[pewboy]

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.

Well, at least you have some hope of seeing your team fight for the title. i think my favorite team, Juventus, won't be able to keep up. Unfortunately, they have a lot of problems to solve in that regard, so i just hope they can at least get to the Champions League.

There are those who love and those who hate Gasperini, but he is undoubtedly a good coach. Before him, Roma couldn't get all their players to perform at 100%, but now he is basically using what he has to get good performances.
If we consider that he is also playing in the European Cup, i have to say that he is doing a good job.

To be honest, the competition in Serie A this season is not as usual, we also must not forget Roma who is currently only 3 points behind Inter, at the same time Roma will face Genoa who is in 17th place, of course victory will be on Roma side and further increase the competition in the fight for the Scudetto.

Of course i understand what you mean.
We're all in the running, i support AC Milan and Mario supports Roma, that's fair enough.
We have four teams at the top of the table and they are precisely those, Inter Milan, AC Milan, Roma and Napoli.
The battle is expected to be very tough, making mistakes is prohibited.

It's no news that football clubs tend to mostly do better in their local leagues than in the UCL. The reason is so obvious: a local champion doesn't automatically mean an international champion, so you would definitely need more effort to prove that. It's not surprising that clubs from the EPL, Bundesliga, La Liga, Serie A and Ligue 1 always win it, while many other clubs exist.

That said, Inter was doing well in both the local league and the UCL, and is still doing well in the local league, until recently in the UCL. Let's see how things play out with them. I believe they understand this tourney very well.

Inter, AC Milan and Napoli still have a chance to keep switching positions in the standings because the points gap is quite small. And I agree that it's better to focus on the domestic league than the Champions League. But that doesn't mean they should just give up on the competition they've had in the first phase of the UCL. As long as it can still be fought for it is much better, but no team deliberately loses when it can still win every match.

Of course they will do their best, but their chances of winning the Champions League are lower. Focusing on the Italian league becomes a more realistic goal. I think Italian teams will do their best in the Champions League, but the real competition for them will be in the Italian league.

Oh God, i certainly won't be happy if Inter Milan wins, given that they are Roma's rivals in the race for the Scudetto.
but we're talking about Verona and Cremonese, they're not such strong teams.
Even with Atalanta, i don't see these difficulties, that team is now cooked and rotten: If it doesn't go to Serie B it will be a miracle

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.

Indeed, both of them have had a significant impact on Napoli, at a time when they're in a bit of a crisis. By the way, if McTominay were already safe at Napoli, he should be. However, according to rumors, Napoli is experiencing serious financial problems, so their desire to make Hojlund's move permanent could be a serious risk. Despite his excellent performance at Napoli, his loan contract expires on June 30, 2026.

If Napoli is going to budget for him, they may have to let go of a few players. In this case, they need to consider the team's internal balance. If they are in a difficult financial situation, how much will the transfer and the transfer fee affect the team? If they will lose money, it would be more logical for them not to sign him. However, if they think they can sell him for a better price and are hopeful about him, they will certainly negotiate with Manchester United.

The match schedule is indeed much earlier for Inter Milan and Napoli, but I don't think that will be a problem as long as both teams can consistently win the match. Perhaps the only problem is that Inter Milan is facing a much tougher opponent than Napoli, so a small mistake could cost Inter Milan points in that match, as Atalanta will certainly do everything they can to secure points. Napoli will also face a slightly tougher opponent in Week 16 after facing Cremonese, as facing Lazio will also be a bit more difficult for Napoli.

This momentum could slightly benefit Milan, as they haven't had a difficult match. If Milan can perform consistently and secure full points, there's a chance they can return to the top of the standings. Competition is indeed increasing, as the points tally among several top teams is still quite close, making the Scudetto race much more exciting this season.
