Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[BRINIRHA]

Inter have already started to put pressure on Lecce in the match. Only 23 minutes have passed and there are no goals yet. However, Inter have the potential to score at any moment because I think they are playing well overall. Inter certainly want to capitalize on Napoli's draw and the two points they lost. If they get three points from this match, they will gain a significant advantage. Because they want to be champions, and Napoli is a serious rival on that path.

Most of us definitely favor Inter Milan in this match. Just as we favored Napoli in their match against Parma. But a draw is also possible in the Inter Milan vs. Lecce match. Just like in the Napoli vs. Parma match.

So far, Inter milan has been continuously pressuring Lecce's defense. However no one has managed to score a goal yet. It would be quite disappointing if Inter Milan also fails to secure full points in this match. But if Inter Milan succeeds, they can increase the point gap with other teams.

I hope Inter Milan doesn't experience the same fate as napoli. Because inter Milan is currently playing against Lecce. And inter Milan should be able to win this match. But so far, the score is still 0-0. And I'm worried that Inter Milan will also end up with a draw.

That's irony from Napoli. That's the third match where they continued to bleed points against lower opponents. They would be number one if they had these 6 wasted points.
Inter Milan didn't score yet against Lecce with only few injury minutes left in the first half, although they were dominating completely the match. I think they will win this match because Lecce defence wouldn't support many attacks by the end of the second half. Inter Milan has to make at least one successful attempt!

We predicted the same thing for the Napoli vs. Parma match. But what we saw turned out to be completely beyond our predictions. And Inter Milan might also achieve the same result as Napoli. However, I don't expect that to happen to Inter Milan because they are much more consistent than Lecce. and I think quite a few people would be disappointed if this match also ended in a draw, especially without any goals. At least if there are still goals, like both teams scoring, that would be slightly better. But a match without any goals is the one thing I dislike the most. It’s quite boring.

Tonight there are two games which have been postponed to this day from Round 16.

- Inter - Lecce

- Napoli - Parma

When you go for a 2-leg multi on their straight wins, the total odds you get is only 1.61. Not much attracting to take the risk to me. 

Instead I want to add Napoli to win and Inter to win by -1.5 handicap. Then it goes up to 2.14. I think it is worth taking the risk considering Inter's productivity of scoring.

I got 2 draws... there

Parma have ability to score to 1:1 or it will be 0:0 if their defense will be focused.


Inter... and Lecce without Lamek Banda, I know it would be difficult to score anything against Inter, but Inter drop their shape during last weeks and could have same problems as Juventus against them.

I think your predictions are almost coming to reality because Napoli played a 0:0 goalless draw against Parma and the match between Inter Milan versus Lecce is still ongoing and they are still in 0:0 after about 70 minutes of play. Though Inter Milan might break out at the die minutes but if they end in a draw match then i will respect your predictions so much because the odds for draw in both games where high odds due to the fact that the bookies thought that Inter Milan and Napoli will win their respective games. Let's see how the match between Inter Milan and Lecce will end because it still surprises me that Inter Milan has not scored till this time

Finally we saw a goal from Inter Milan. Inter Milan's attacks were repeatedly thwarted against Lecce's strong defense, Lecce really gave Inter Milan a hard time. Until the 78th minute, it seemed that the match could be drawn 0-0, but the goal in the 78th minute changed the score. We will now see an attack from Lecce, they will try to draw the match 1-1. On the other hand, Inter Milan will be looking to increase the score. The statistics of the match really surprised me, Inter Milan attacked a total of 19 times in the 85 minutes of the match and hit the target 7 times, but only 1 goal was scored. You can guess the strength of Lecce's defense based on these statistics.

Lecce as come to this match with a hope of draw with the way they played. Atleast a point from the first team will go along way for them. But the whole story changes at 78 minutes when inter was fortunate to have a goal. Well, Lecce may try is best to draw this game but I don't see this possible.

Now the match is almost over and inter milan still maintains a score of 1-0. And if Inter Milan manages to win and collect full points, then Inter Milan's dominance in Serie A will truly begin. because the point difference will widen between Inter Milan and the teams in second and third place.

Lecce put up a good fight in this match. However, I think their attacks were not strong enough to break through the defensive wall built by Inter Milan.

Today there were these two matches, with an incredible result for Napoli, who couldn't manage more than a 0-0 draw against Parma! And given Inter's victory, the points gap is now 6. But Napoli must be careful, as Juventus and Roma could overtake them in the standings tomorrow.

it's funny that a lot of people still bet on Napoli, I don't trust them right now, so even if they face an underdog team i would not even risk placing a bet on them to win because I know they would disappoint...inter on the other hand are doing quite well and even though I expected them to score more goals and they didn't I'm still satisfied that they were able to win the game, it's better than losing

I cashed out the coupon around 60min of the Inter match; It was x8,5 of the cost. Unfortunatley Lecce doesn't have enough luck to finalize the draw, anyway it was so close. Milan, Napoli and Inter are slowing down and got less power than few weeks ago. But Inter still looking good.

[katanic97]

And there you go , with a narrow win, Inter now have a 6 point advantage over Milan and Napoli. I know many people were waiting for this, especially another slip up from Napoli, which unfortunately did happen. Napoli attacked but simply couldn’t break down Parma’s defense, which was very solid in this match.Neres came on in the 58th minute and it was clear he still isn’t ready. Conte watched the game from the stands because he received a red card against Inter, which further affected Napoli’s poor performance. Inter won with a goal from Esposito, had several good chances, and deserved the victory.The title race is still on , nothing will really change even after this Inter win

On the other hand, Inter Milan will be looking to increase the score. The statistics of the match really surprised me, Inter Milan attacked a total of 19 times in the 85 minutes of the match and hit the target 7 times, but only 1 goal was scored. You can guess the strength of Lecce's defense based on these statistics.

Inter Milan could have scored more, but they seemed overly ambitious and didn't find a way to score using various tactics. Just look at how Inter consistently missed the target with their shots. Had Inter been more patient in their game and used the right strategy, they likely could have scored two or more goals.

A fair defensive strength was exhibited by Lecce but then most importantly Inter got the the three points they needed from this game. Now Inter Milan is now 46 points at the top of the table and AC Milan is at the second with 40 points, a difference of 6 points which I consider some really close gap that can actually be filled in the shortest time, so Inter Milan has got to make sure to keep up with trying to maintain their position with the wide gap.

[Spack17]

For once I was really worried about Inter to lose points too. But they made it by a 1-0 score. This is normally an unacceptable kind of performance by them. But of course these 3 points are really critical!

Because as of now they are 6 points ahead of Napoli and Milan both. This is a serious advantage in the title race obviously. This gap can even get bigger in time I think.

By the way Milan are also going to play their absent match against Como tomorrow. I can't say I trust them lately.

They missed very good chances. I expected a second goal to come just a minute or two after the first goal, Inter Milan performance in the game was entirely good work, their progress back to the competition really needs to be appreciated, my thinking was that Napoli stood the better chance, they've drawn three games in a row, while Inter keeps getting it right, despite less goals, one goal gave them the three points they needed to continue their lead.

Lecce's defense made it difficult for Inter Milan to score, but they were fortunate enough to find a way break the goal in the 78th minute. If it weren't for him, the Lecce goalkeeper, I think Inter Milan could have scored more than two goals. This is a significant win, as Napoli drew in their other match, thus opening a six-point gap over Napoli. Inter Milan has also shown continued improvement in their previous matches, while Napoli has failed to win in their previous three.

[Mabebe]

Inter milan edges out Lecce in a narrow win and Napoli once again see draw, as I can remember, for three matches now Napoli Is without a win, won't this come to affect them later in the season concerning them winning the league. Inter milan looks like they want to win it this year and I hope they do, they were so close last season but it was Napoli that won it, maybe the want to rewrite the wrongs they made last season in the league.

Today there were these two matches, with an incredible result for Napoli, who couldn't manage more than a 0-0 draw against Parma! And given Inter's victory, the points gap is now 6. But Napoli must be careful, as Juventus and Roma could overtake them in the standings tomorrow.

Napoli with two draws recently have only 40 points now, and they have only 1 point more than Juventus and AS Roma. If they won't return to winning, their third position will be taken over by competitors and there is risk for Napoli to fall out of top four in coming weeks. Juventus and AS Roma are very near and they are ambitiously aiming at top four so with very small point difference like this, the temporary third position of Napoli is very insecured.

Inter Milan could have scored more, but they seemed overly ambitious and didn't find a way to score using various tactics. Just look at how Inter consistently missed the target with their shots. Had Inter been more patient in their game and used the right strategy, they likely could have scored two or more goals.

Inter Milan with Chivu management have improved themselves with time and they knew how to win matches minimally even they have very good attacks, recent matches their defense improved and such improvements make Inter Milan stronger and more dangerous to other clubs in Serie A. Now they have 46 points, 6 points more than Napoli and the same difference with AC Milan but AC Milan has another match. This possibly gives Inter Milan an opportunity to have either 6 or 5 points more than AC Milan if this competitor lose points but even AC Milan win that match, difference will still be 3 points.

Chivu are managing Inter Milan very well and he aims at Scudetto in a first season with Inter Milan, and it's great impression which barely achieved by young and inexperienced coaches.

[Sandra_hakeem]

Juventus gets back on track and responds decisively to the away wins against Roma & como, their rivals for a Champions League spot. And above all, Luciano Spalletti finally gets the response he expected from his center forward, "Jonathan David" a perfect assist, a goal worthy of a true striker, and the embrace of the entire bench, symbolizing the entire Juventus fanbase rallying around one of their most controversial players.
Juventus has 34 goals in total and has lost only 3 matches out of 20 played so far. This is the only reason why they're still on that position. Although, it looks like they're going to get a better spot in few games to come. They can't afford to miss next season's UCL.

Exactly, Napoli's third place in the league is now seriously at risk. Yesterday and today, the matches that were not played by the teams involved in the Italian Super Cup were played.
Therefore, the actual points gap between Juventus and Roma is now real and not estimated.
So Napoli should start changing their way of playing right now if they don't want to sink even further down the table.
