Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[whiteblue]

Will be watching it tonight—finally some Italian football on the screen. Milan are big favourites; we don’t need to look at the bookies. They’re playing with more and more confidence, and I’m sure they’ll secure a win and pole position tonight.

They have done it! We predicted it correctly.    If you ask me about whether it was easy, I would say not at all...

Milan struggled a lot in the first half I mean. It seemed like Cagliari had an opportunity but they couldn't score either. The second half was just dominated by Milan though.

Only a 1-0 win at the end maybe but of course 3 points is what matters. Now the unbeaten streak has reached 16 games for Milan!

Nothing is more important than the 3 points they must get in their match because they must continue to chase Inter Milan's points to have a chance to be at the top of the table, the match against Cagliari was very difficult, even to score just 1 goal was so difficult with few opportunities that could be made in the match.

The matches Sasuolo vs Parma and Genoa vs Pisa are likely to result in a 1-1 draw for this match, they have such a tough match, there are no 3 points that can be obtained in this match, and Pisa is a team that has many draw matches so far.

Inter bologna game became a lot more important, because if Inter fails to win, that means Milan will be the leader in the standings. I am sure that Inter will do their best, and unless some hiccup happens this week, they will keep their chances, but Bologna isn't some small team that can easily be beaten, they were ate super cup finals for a reason.

Napoli will also be playing against Lazio, and while Lazio hasn't been that great so far this season, they are still Lazio and a risky game. So these two teams needs wins to get to Milan, if they fail then Milan will be the lucky one of the week. Last week it was good for all, this week I am expecting one of the top four teams to lose points somewhere, just not sure which one.

AC Milan needed that win tonight more than anything because any mistake about it would have spelt disaster for them regarding the first position in the table. Winning tonight have increased their confidence and made them sit more comfortably at the top of the table. The league is still open for the top teams like Napoli, Inter Milan and AC Milan, any of them can win the league. The problem have been inconsistency of the teams and that is still playing out as there is no team that is in clear lead.

AC Milan needed the win to stay at the top of the table. Milan lost the top spot due to sharing points with Sassuolo. Now they will not be able to regain the top spot if they can not continue their winning streak. After winning this match, Ac milan is now  at the top of the table. But if Inter Milan can win against Bologna in the next match, AC milan will have to lose the top spot. Anyway , AC milan will remain at the top of the  table to share points with inter milan. The fight for the Serie A title has become very enjoyable this season.

This was a very crucial victory to AC Milan both in terms of points and confidence following the loss of the top position in the previous times. The margin of error is very minimal with Inter and Napoli following on its heels. None of the teams have been reliable enough to run away and hence the title race remains open and thrilling. Milan hold the first place, but it is a weak position. They should continue winning and not drawing uselessly in case they want to remain there.

Ac milan are doing their best to be at the top of the league, just a few days ago napoli were ahead of inter and milan but now they are occupying the third position on the table. Ac milan are beginning to work really hard to win the title, between these two teams it is very difficult to really predict the serial A title winner but from my own personal view my best bet would be ac milan

I don't think Como has any chance of finishing in the top four in the table, as that would mean one of the top four teams would have to start dropping points match after match! I think a place in the Europa League would be more appropriate for Como, but the more realistic option would be the Conference League.
Como has an excellent manager and a good team, but I don't think they can finish fourth.

This is true that the Como has very less chances of being in the top Four position in the point table. Because there are many teams struggling to have a position in the top Four. But to expect Como in the top four simply means that there will be a decline in the performances of one of the team already managed to secure their position in the top four. And I think it's not possible or not simple as the other teams are also in their way to improve and secure their positions. But they had to keep struggling for the best as nothing is impossible and everything is unpredictable. Roma is also a very good and strong team and their good thing is that they play with a very mature behaviour. And we can't ignore to appreciate their coach as he is really very capable and experienced or manages the team in their limited finances.

Como has the potential to occupy the fourth place in the table. Inter milan, AC milan and napoli will fight for the title. Roma is slowly falling behind and Roma's performance is unstable. If Roma loses the truck, Como will have a chance to occupy the fourth place in the table. However, this possibility is really small. Anyway, if Como can also qualify for the europa league, then  this will be considered a successful  season for them.

Como's defense is strong. But the performance of their attacking players is weak. If they can strengthen the attacking team, then maybe it will be possible for  them to stay in the top 5 of the table. But it is unlikely that a team like como will maintain  consistency until the end of the season. But, their players are hardworking.

I wasn't wrong about my prediction about Milan to win by one goal. I know Allegri very well after all these years. He is just addicted to this kind of wins by a close margin. 

Como are indeed really good this season. Another win this time against Udinese. They are serious candidates for top 6. Their biggest weakness is against big teams of the league. It is quite normal considering they are just rebuilding.

The narrow win is just a normal day for allegri. He was a coach with most of narrow win compared to the other managers in the serie a history. When we're seeing a boring game from his team, he's just doing what he used to be in the past.  

I admit it was a very very boring game from his club(vs Cagliari), but who cares, though his team gets a disgusting win. Three points are still three points. His team is topping serie a, and hopefully, he can repeat the history. You don't forget how his team is still recording another longest unbeaten record with 16 games in total. Allegri ball is terrifying to watch, but it's effective.

Milan should have won the match with a better score. They missed several opportunities. Some attacks from the wings were also successfully intercepted by Cagliari's defense. 
The competition in the Serie A standings is quite tight. Getting 3 points is indeed important, but it would also be better if they secured a win with a good score. Sometimes, the number of goals scored can also help the team's luck.

Only one corner left for this bet to come because Milan has played 5 corners while the home team Cagliari has played six corners.

Both teams ended with a total 13 corners. My bet was successful

Juventus vs Lecce

First half is still in progress. Juventus are dominating the game and have already recorded 7 corner kicks, while Lecce are still on 0. I’m aiming for the under 13.5 corners market, which looks very reasonable at this point. Lecce have shown no attacking threat so far and seem unable to put pressure on Juventus’ defense.

Atalanta need a win to rescue their chance in this season because with 22 points, they are already very far from top six and if they won't improve soon, they will finish this season with a low rank that does not bring them to even UEFA Conference League next season. They likely will try to be eligible for UEFA Europa League and Conference League is not too interesting with them.

The game will be tough tonight as both of them will like to secure three points, and with the current performances of Roma I don’t think Atalanta can find the match easily to win they need to stand in their feet if they really want to secure three points against the Roma. Let me never make an early prediction; but I don’t expect much from Atalanta when their still managing the 10th place in the table.

Their opponent AS Roma are holding a fourth position which is followed and challenged by Juventus while Roma need three points from this match in order to continue their Scudetto competition, not only to secure a fourth position. AS Roma did not play too well against big clubs in Serie A by lack of good attacking power but with not in good form Atalanta, AS Roma might hope for a good result, three points.

As far Roma are holding the fourth position they will not like anything that can make them drop single points at this moment their aim now is to move up to the second position, and take over the position from the Inter.

Como are indeed really good this season. Another win this time against Udinese. They are serious candidates for top 6. Their biggest weakness is against big teams of the league. It is quite normal considering they are just rebuilding.

Well I think that is Como main target this season to get a ticket to Europa competition and that opportunity is very much available now while their competitors might be Lazio who are 6 points behind, so Como just needs consistency to stay on track. In general Como still relies on Nico Paz well to avoid bad things I think they need to prepare an alternative moreover, this player could leave in the next few seasons due to a transfer agreement with Real Madrid.

Oh yeah, there's another match today between Atlanta vs AS Roma, what do you guys think? AS Roma wants to stay in the top 4 while Atalanta has the advantage as the home team so this is not easy to predict, but i think both teams will score.

The scores is 1-1. Mackennie got an equalizer for Juventus four minutes after the second half started. Lecce gave Juventus a tough time in the first half as they stopped Juventus from finding the back of the net with their solid defense. Juventus dominates the game but finds it difficult to penetrate Lecce defense.

The game is now over and no goals have been scored. In the 66th minute David from Juventus missed a penalty. Today the performance is bad, Juventus should have won the game. They are no longer the team that was the best in Italy for many years. They havent won the Champions League more than 20 years ago. The Serie A is not longer a league with top stars in the world. The Stars are playing now in England or Spain... lots of them.

I agree, it’s not easy to win in Sardinia, and three points are the only thing that matters. I saw the game — a tough one to watch — but nevertheless Milan deserved the win; they were better by that one goal. And one thing to mention: Modrić is a professor, even with 40 years on his back.

Yes, that's right. Italy has lost some of its former charm. However, I still think it remains an enjoyable and highly competitive place. Juventus's recent failures sadden me, because I always picture Juventus competing in the Champions League with their best squad. I believe Italy will become as good a place as it used to be. I hope I'm wrong about that. I especially want Juventus to regain their former success.

[LUCKMCFLY]

AC Milan is consuming the energy of their opponent and preserving theirs until the second half so they can control more effectively the game and avoid being exhausted by the end of the game. I don't know if this strategy is being intentionally done or not but AC Milan is in the top with only one defeat. They got several draws, otherwise they are doing fine until now. It is up to the other teams to overthrown them from the lead mainly Inter Milan. Inter has by the way a hard game against Bologna. They might lose two points there.

Milan's management is unique; they've won crucial matches I like how they've done it, as well as Roma There's still a way to go, but these points they've earned are the best of all. They're points that will now give them a good cushion Without a doubt, the team that I think always leads the pack is Inter, but the way Milan is doing it is phenomenal.

As previously thought that Cagliari was able to make it difficult for Milan, their defense really frustrated the Milan players by only being able to create a few opportunities, not only that Cagliari was also able to provide resistance in possession of the ball, although it was difficult Milan could still finish the match with a narrow victory, the most important thing is because with these 3 points they are now at the top, now it's time for inter to get pressure, they must win Bologna tomorrow so that the top position remains in their grasp. Modric is not dead yet, he continues to help Milan with his ball control on the pitch.

Juventus performance today was very disappointing, a draw against Lecce! That missed Penalty by Jonathan David  could have give them the win, but he messed it up.  Juvetus did dominate that game, I was very surprised to see they couldn’t find a way to net goals and seal this win especially the second half where they dominated completely, applaud to the Lecce’s defense they really helped them pulled this draw.

Maybe the financial situation of the teams in the Serie A is what makes the league having lesser top stars compare to premier league and Laliga.

I saw that it was difficult for Juventus to penetrate Lecce defense but they were lucky to get a penalty kick. I thought that Jonathan David will use it as an opportunity to score a free goal but to my surprised he played to to the goalkeeper boot. That was how they couldn't win the match and chose to share point with Lecce.

Atalanta can not be called strong only in terms of home matches. This team is strong. Although they are able to play well in the champions league, their performance in Serie A is weak. However, an interesting thing is that Atalanta is undefeated in the last 5 matches they played against Roma. The last time roma won against Atalanta was in 2022. Roma has lost to Atalanta  in the last three matches. Whatever, today the team will try to avenge the previous defeat.

Roma's past record against Atalanta is not good. roma's performance against this team in the past was very poor. Especially against Atalanta's defense, Roma's performance has  always been weak. Roma's attack is also very weak  this season. Although roma's overall performance has stabilized with the help of gasperini , they are not able to play well consistently  due to the weakness of the attack. It is very difficult for roma to get points, especially against big teams. Roma lost  2-1 against juventus a few days ago. Today's match is likely to end in 1-1 or  2-1.

I also have the same expectation for this game between Atalanta and Roma, which I was expecting a win for Atalanta or a draw. From all indications, Roma will not be able to have many chances in this game, as they are currently battling with their defense and weaknesses in striking. Although we know Roma for performing miracles, maybe they will be able to do one today. We don’t know yet, so let’s wait and see what will happen on the pitch.
