Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Italian Panic]

Wow, we enjoyed another attacking match from Juventus as this team managed to win 5-0 against Cremonese, a huge win for them in my opinion. At the moment it seems that this team has played very well in the last five matches and their points are now 39, as a result of which we can see that Napoli and they are now moving ahead equally. However everyone must have noticed because last year's champions Napoli drew against Inter Milan in their last match, I think last year's champions are now falling behind after drawing 2-2 in that game, but it must be said that Juventus were very aggressive today because their team's Bremer scored against Cremonese in the 12th minute.

Juventus achieved a truly amazing score, I honestly didn't expect it.
Clearly, Cremonese isn't a team that could compete with Juventus, and honestly, they even disappointed me a little. I didn't think they'd lose 5-0, a myth that's shattering me.

Juventus win 5 of the last 6, only the bad luck prevented the 6 in a row...dreaming scudetto?? it won't happen, but if it does...

Ohhh seems like the famous " oh shit here we go again" is gonna appear between Juventus fans and some other neutral spectators of SerieA, and im refering to them again making hopes of having a chance of fighting for the title in this season, let me clear things for you easy, Juventus with this team has 1% chance of making it happen, they are gonna only make all of them have some hope and in some game they are gonna start to lose steam again.

Juventus' performance has changed a lot and they have achieved a truly incredible victory and they are currently occupying the third position in the point table. The three teams are now in equal points, Juventus, Napoli, Roma, 39 points from the three teams, Juventus is currently in the third position, they have enough opportunities to compete this season. If the Juventus team can lead their players well, the coach will definitely compete in this season. Since there is enough competition in the Serie A league this season, it is still impossible to be sure which team will be the champion, the chances of each team are very high. However, the team that can confidently maintain their performance strongly until the end will be worthy of winning the trophy.

We have seen juventus' strong defense for the past few years. But Juventus' overall performance was weak due to a weak  attack. We have seen their poor attack performance at the beginning of this  season as well. But Juventus is gradually improving. And at the moment they are in a pretty good  rhythm. The  performance of the attack players has also improved. They won against cremonese by a big margin of 5-0 . If the attack players can continue such a good performance, it will be possible  for juventus to continue their winning streak. They have won four  of their last five matches and drawn one.

Yes Juventus are back on track again, their big win over Cremonese gives hope again for their fans, hopefully not empty hope like they did last season and at the beginning of this season, because when I personally gave confidence, they actually proved it by being inconsistent, could only get 1 point from weak teams and even lost. This time they are only 4 points behind, they must utilize this momentum.

[jakdanyel]

After scoring 9 goals in their last 5 matches in the league Juventus scored 5 goals in a single match! This is interesting statistics as it comes from a team you wouldn't expect normally. 

Probably a one-time thing or not much common to see. But it might help with some players about their self-confidence. It is still hard to talk very positive about the general quality of players. All they can do is to finish in top 4 for a Champions League spot.

Juventus have returned to consistency, but it may be too late. They are already 7 points behind the title race, and as of writing they are 4 points behind. But I see the chances of Inter Milan losing to Lecce as very small. However, they are at least trying to reach the place of trust of their fans through consistency and are dreaming of qualifying for next season's Champions League. Even finishing in the top 2 is now difficult for Juventus.

Juventus are unbeaten in their last 7 matches. The last time they lost was against Napoli with a score of 2-1. We can see a positive change in Juventus' performance. Both defense and attack are now strong for Juventus. 5 goals were scored by Juventus players against Cremonese. This shows that Juventus' attack is no longer weak. The understanding between the players is very good.

If Juventus can continue this trend, then they will participate in the title fight. Juventus is 4 points behind Inter Milan. But if Inter Milan wins their next match, this gap will be 7. Even then, I would say that this gap can be reduced if Juve can continue its winning streak.

[Just Say]

Inter were unable to take advantage of the home situation and the chances they created, if only they had been more clinical, I'm sure they would have come out on top, on the other hand, Napoli realized they were the visitors and knew what to do with the few chances they had, they managed to create 2 goals, and MacTominay deserves to be the best player in this match.

The Serie A getting serious this season, this is the same Napoli that failed to win their last match at home against Verona. I had a strong believed that Inter Milan will win the match at home because they had recently appeared in a good form against any team. Inter Milan had 17 shots during the match and scored two goals, if had make use of their chances, they would have scored more than two goals. Napoli did not give them any breathing space, they equalized immediately to get a point.

However, among the top teams in this round 20, only Atalanta and Roma won their games, AC Milan played a draw with a late minute equalizer, while Inter Milan and Napoli also draw. Inter remain at the top with three points ahead of AC Milan. Juventus will host Cremonese today after drawing their last home game against Lecce.

Napoli and Inter Milan tried very hard to win that match but we saw that they were able to play with a very defensive strategy.I actually thought Napoli would win because defending champions have a good record against this team, but they drew 2-2 in that exciting game. Everyone may have already noticed this because there are many talented players in the Napoli team, but among them, we only saw that Scottish player McTominay was able to score two goals, he didn't get the chance to play so aggressively while he was attached to the premier league club. At this stage it appears that Napoli has dropped to fourth place in the points table due to two consecutive draws against another team, including Milan team.

Considering that the points gap between competitors is not that big, all possibilities can still be pursued. It's hard to predict who will really maintain their good performance until the end of the season, I think this is one of the tough seasons in the fight for the Serie A title. Inter and Milan are my only two favorites to maintain their form, but I'm not entirely convinced they can maintain it without interruption.

Juventus, Napoli, and Roma have all looked good at applying pressure up until matchday 19, so Inter and Milan haven't been comfortable up until now. There are at least six top teams that are very good at defending, but I can't expect Roma and Como to be consistently impressive throughout this season. Roma and Como have very strong defenses, but I believe they are not so strong in the second half.

Juventus managed to recover from their previous downturn, and they played very well and there was doubt that they would have a good chance, but they showed their progress to still be able to compete and be counted, if you look at the last few matches it seems that Juventus has a little consistency, but I really doubt whether they will succeed in the long term, their points are the same and now the struggle is starting to increase again after Juventus entered the top 4, meanwhile the top position still belongs to Inter, Inter was held to a draw by Napoli yesterday, Napoli is doing well if it is impossible for the gap to widen any further.

Spalletti has been the mastermind behind Juventus' resurgence. Since his arrival, the team has been truly outstanding, reaching the top four. While Juve's management initially wasn't targeting a Scudetto this season, it turns out that hope was still very much alive, and the management's decision to appoint Spalletti has yielded quite positive results. I'm quite confident that the Bianconeri are now starting to be considered again, even though they have always been underdogs in the title race.

[dezoel]

Juventus definitely got a great result, a 5-0 win isn't that common in Italy and defences normally collapse a lot harder and do not let that type of results. And to be fair Cremonese did defended hard, with as many people as they can, and yet Juventus to a bit lucky and played very talented game to get this result.

What we have to also accept is that they are now third place, and yes I know that they have one more game than Napoli, who could get a tie and still be above Juventus, because they are the same points, but Juventus still shows that they are not done chasing yet.

[UVUcoinBull]

To you it will be okay to regard the recently perceived consistency of Juventus as an actual one but then here is something, two seasons ago, I saw similar experiences Juventus and even last season , so at a time, I have gotten so used this this kind of performance from them that I do not want to be in a hurry to applaud them already.

[tygeade]

Given Fiorentina's poor performance this season, AC Milan should have capitalized on the situation to secure a win, but unfortunately, they could only manage a draw. In fact, they almost lost to the hosts. Fiorentina played very well in this match, and in my opinion, they actually deserved to win.

AC Milan have drawn three of their last five matches. They must not allow this to continue, as it will be detrimental to them. Furthermore, to stay in the tight competition, they cannot afford to drop too many points.

I agree, Milan should have done a better job and getting a tie here is basically telling Inter that they can make any mistake they want and nobody is chasing them. Normally if Inter dropped points and Milan won against Fiorentina like people assumed they would, then we wouldn't have this kind of result, but we are not seeing that and because of it Milan ended up losing points toa team they should not.

Fiorentina will drop this season, which is sad, seeing such a historical team to drop is bad, but you gotta beat them if you want to win the league. Maybe Milan may give up soon if they fail to catch up to Inter anytime soon. In any case, Milan needs to do better and needs to check what is wrong and why they failed and do better next game.

It's being a while where I'd say I watched Juventus game and enjoyed their performance but yesterday, o saw a different Juventus, the kind that won trophies back to back. Granted Cremonese might be a small team but in their past games, they've been giving headaches to other teams so for them to get a 5 star treatment from Juventus last night was quite a shocker.
 Who else saw the penalty that should have been given after Locatteli uprooted the Cremonese player in the 18 yard box but the ref ruled it for fair play? I feel that was what incensed Davide Nicola, the coach of Cremonese and led to his red card because he felt that should have been a penalty!
 I don't know anymore if the VAR is doing more harm than good in football these days because it's painful to see such clear act of foul get chopped off and dismissed as something minor.

They remebered what they used to be, right?

Spalletti's only been there since late October but you can see the system taking shape now. I like that first goal, Miretti recycling the corner to Bremer, that's coached. That's drilled. Spalletti's obsessed with second phase set pieces because defenses lose their shape once the first has been cleared.



The penalty controversy though, Locatelli did touch the ball before contact (I've watched it multiple times), but the follow-through was ugly. 

Under the current rules it's technically not a foul but it's wrong and that's the VAR problem in a nutshell. We've optimised the humanity out of officiating.

What got me was Nicola's red card. You could watch the injustice pile up in his head. Penalty overturned, then Juventus gets one for handball deflected off of the player's own leg. A brutal 11 minutes for any manager let alone one trying to get a mid-table team to work against a giant.



Cremonese had opportunities early too. Di Gregorio was forced to make a save from a mistake by Cambiaso, David hit the post. This wasn't total domination in minute one.

I believe juventus will only be able to compete for a UCL ticket, which is a top four finish. as for competing for the title, I don't think it will be easy at all with the squad juventus currently has. Juventus sometimes play exceptionally well in a single match. But then they can become inconsistent and start losing points again.

Juventus will only compete with Roma for the UCL spot (maybe). Meanwhile, Napoli, Milan and inter will compete for the championship title this season. However with 18 matches remaining for Juventus and Roma, they also have a chance to compete for the championship title. But that would require Napoli, Inter, and Milan to suffer several defeats and lose a lot of points. and I don't think that will happen.

Everything is possible actually. The difference is less than seven points after 20 rounds between Roma in the fifth place and Inter Milan at the first spot. This is in the worst scenario when Inter Milan will win its game, otherwise the gap will be less than seven.
When I take a look on Real Madrid in La Liga or Al-Nassr in Saudi Pro League and how these two teams were dominating in the beginning and how pity they are right now, I would say everything is possible.

[SUPERSAIAN]

Roma, playing at home, were eliminated from the cup early after a 3-2 defeat to Torino in the round of 16. This was an unexpected result, as Roma were the favorites for the match. While Bailey and Soule were strong defensively, the defense crumbled. Torino showed better resistance away from home than expected and managed to win. Adams scored two goals.

Inter and Torino will face each other in the quarter-finals. Will Torino pull off another surprise?
