Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[rangga28]

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.

Due to the inconsistency of their rivals, Inter now has a significant opportunity to further widen the gap. Chivu must be smart in reading these opportunities and not waste them in every match. He must consistently build confidence in his players and remain calm under pressure. If the gap at the top of the table can be reduced to nine points, the situation will be much more comfortable. I think Chivu will be able to polish his team well enough to secure the Scudetto.

It seems Napoli don’t really want the championship this season. Yesterday they drew 0–0 at home against Parma.
It was a match where I was expecting a certain win, and this result really surprised me.

Inter Milan found the goal with Esposito towards the end of the match and beat Lecce 1–0. I was expecting a more comfortable win, a game that should have had at least 2 or 3 goals, but they won with just one.
Things are going well for Inter Milan, as they have increased the points gap over their closest rival Napoli to 6.

Watching Napoli play is very unique because Napoli always ends up with a draw, and today they also drew 0-0 against Parma. What do you think is happening with Napoli? Is their performance declining, or is the team they are playing against really good and already knows Napoli's weaknesses? Napoli scored a goal against Parma, but unfortunately it was offside. In my opinion, Napoli will now find it more difficult to become champions like last season because with so many draws like this, it will definitely be difficult to get a lot of points. Parma must be very proud to have gotten 1 point from Napoli because Napoli is a strong team, and if Parma continues to use this strategy, they may be able to climb the rankings higher than they are now. However, in this match, I liked Parma goalkeeper Rinaldi's performance because he always managed to catch the ball. If Rinaldi couldn't catch the ball, Napoli could have scored many goals because Napoli's attacks came relentlessly.

I think Chivu will be able to polish his team well enough to secure the Scudetto.

Inter's current performance is quite consistent, as they have performed quite well in their last few matchess. However, I don't think it will be easy for Inter to gain a nine-point lead over their rivals. Milan, currently in second place,, is also likely to narrow the gap. This week, Milan will face Comoo, and i'm sure Como won't be able to beat Milan. Therefore, Milan has a huge potential to win. If Milan wins, the gap between Milan and Inter will definitely be only three points. Therefore, it won't be easy for Inter to widen the gap.

Furthermore, i also see that Inter current performancee is lacking sharpness. In The previous match, when Inter faced Lecce, Inter only managed to win 1-0. So, this clearly proves that Inter's current performance is lacking sharpness. Therefore, if Inter were to face their rivals, I think Inter has a pretty good chance of being defeated. So, that's why the Inter coach really has to be able to make his players even better, because currently the competition in Serie A is really very tight. So if Inter can't make their team even better, I think it will make their position easy to shift too.

I am truly impressed with how Chivu maximizes Inter Milan's squad. Chivu is very similar to Simone Inzaghi. And Inter milan really chose the right coach to replace Inzaghi at the end of last season. I was initially skeptical about Chivu. but he proved that he is a quality coach despite not having enough experience at a big club. even Inter Milan currently has a good ranking in the UCL. So I think Inter Milan truly wants to achieve the best possible results this season, both in Serie A and in the UCL.

Napoli is also fighting hard. But they still can't perform at their best, because after all they're still playing with a limited roster since their key players are still injured.

This is a very disappointing result for Napoli despite their actually good performance, it's just that they were unlucky and I admit that Parma's goalkeeper played well, but Napoli didn't seem to find a solution to score goals and clearly this will be a big loss for them who could have shifted AC Milan's position which is in 2nd place, but unfortunately both teams failed to get 3 points and if I look at the standings, Inter Milan is the most profitable team here.

Today's Como vs. Milan match is a typical draw. Milan have drawn a lot in recent weeks, but they aren't a team that loses easily. Their only league defeat was against Cremonese in the first week. They lost 2-0 to Napoli in the Super Cup.

Como are still unbeaten at home.

Given Milan's form and Como's current situation, a draw is quite likely.

[Sexylizzy2813]

The only ball that went into the back of the net was void and nullify by VAR because McTomminay the goal scorer was offside. I believe that Napoli has more advantages of getting all three points in the game because they are stronger in the first half. When they come back in the second half, they will get what they didn't get right in thw first half. Napoli should look for a way on how they can easily break Parma defense.

As it stands Napoli are hoping on luck because they have played everything they know to get a goal but yet nothing is happening. Parma are defending with their lives and the clock is ticking seriously, Napoli need to get something if not they're dropping point which I don't think will help them in this chase for the title. Inter Milan will be happy if this game ends in a draw or something happens that Parma gets a goal...5mins additional time, can the champions get something in this game?

I can't believe my eyes, Napoli haven't scored yet. The 90 minutes are almost over, and I'm very surprised that Napoli are playing with this scoreline in a match where they need three points. Parma defended very well and fought hard. They definitely deserved a point. A point away at Napoli was very important.

Same as me, expected the Napoli side to dominate the game both in possession and goals too because I don't see anything interesting that the Parma side are doing to have held Napoli till 90'mins without a goal, 14th on the log for Parma but Napoli could not get that important 3pt. This is not how they're suppose to approach each game knowing fully well that the season and time waits for no one.
Inter got that important victory to extend the point gap between them and Ac Milan, with the game of today between Como vs Ac Milan I don't think Ac Milan can reduce Inter Milan's 6pt to 3pt, with Como always ready to cause problems for the big sides, this night will be another struggle for Ac Milan.

[giorgione]

I think the main issue which Inter Milan is facing is their inconsistent behaviour. Because this is the time which plays sometimes like the best team and sometimes they present themselves in a way like they don't know how to play well and well. And the day  when Inter Milan will manage to maintain their consistency of being good they will definitely achieve something really big. So I think the whole team should have to focus on being consistent. It is the main key role which is played outstandingly in the positive growth of any team. And the intern should have to cash the moment of being played in their home ground. Because it is necessary to increase points a huge increase in the performance should be taken. And Napoli is a little far from being good they are trying to have their best but I think their struggles are not on that level where they can get something they really deserve to have.

Crazy Inter Milan are crazy and it's not just a figure of speech, it's clear that these guys put their heart into it when they play but it's not always enough, there are other teams that are hungry like Juventus and Como who are coming back to win and entertain the fans I would stay tuned if I were them

When the competition for not only league title, but every single position is this crowded, it means that every single game has a meaning to it. You do not see any game "unimportant" anymore, you can play against the weakest team in the league and still care. Look at what happened with Fiorentina, if that wasn't a draw, the top would be very different.

So as you can see things do change and every single game matters and that means the league gets a lot more viewers as well, since every game is cared about. Normally when you know what your team may do, you don't care about most games and only tune in for important games, whereas this season there are at least six or seven teams that gets all their games watched by millions.

[martinom]

Many of us had that in their mind too but as we all know, football is very unpredictable, since they didn't score in the first half, am sure they'll make a difference in the second half, Napoli is a big team, they also in good performance because I won't judge them with just few laspes which I believe is something that's inevitable in football, parma defense will be shattered in the second half that I know already, but Napoli should counter them, or even try to force attack because at this point the best way to penetrate them is to try to penetrate their defense we never can tell it might result to a red card and penalty if care is not taken.

Football is very unpredictable and we love it for this reason too, but i think it's clear that this year there are many variables to consider and i wouldn't even see Juventus as being bad at this point, they can dream big and i think they will, the other teams aren't as fearsome as they seem.

Match	Result
Napoli vs Parma	0-0
Inter vs Lecce	1-0
Pos	Team	Points	Match
1	Inter	46	20
2	Milan	40	19
3	Napoli	40	20
4	Juventus	39	20
5	Roma	39	20

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.

I think it's more relevant now to talk about Inter's advantage over Milan - it looks like Napoli will continue to lag behind the leaders. Milan is currently three points behind, but they need to win today's game to keep it that way. It should be noted that this will be a difficult game - away from home against Como, whшcp have only 3 defeats and only 13 goals conceded. I like Como, but today I will support Milan so that the intrigue in Serie A remains. Bookmakers currently rate this game as follows:

3.20 - 3.00 - 2.42

In essence, the game is rated as random.

[cande86]

Parma defense doing impressive job in this goalless game, at the end of first half Napoli have some good chances but good defensive strategy not allowing them to have good results, Mctominay disallowed goal and then nothing big Parma attack is surprising in this game.

Napoli needed to win in this game if they want to keep themselves in title race with recent good performance from Juventus making things interesting while Inter Milan vs Lecce can make this difference of points widen if today Napoli fails to keep things on level with AC Milan is also having challenging visit of Como which is also looking for their season to be ended on good.

Parma are defending very well and i think it's a necessary job even if Napoli are with half the team out and it shows, they weren't able to do any damage to Parma who are doing very well, a very deserved draw that i think if they had believed in it more they would have also won

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.

It will definitely affect Napoli in the race for the trophy if they continue to draw like this, but if they keep winning from now until the end of the season, they could still win the Scudetto as long as Inter slip up. However, if they continue to draw in their matches, I don't think there is any hope for Napoli to win the Scudetto this season. Inter can be said to be in good form, as they managed to win against Lecce, even though the score wasn't very high, with Inter only scoring one goal. It seems certain that Inter wants to win the Scudetto this season because they didn't win it last season, and they will definitely try hard to win this time. However, I think Inter is still not safe, especially since they couldn't score many goals against Lecce today. I think this is a sign that Inter needs to prepare better than they are now because there are still many games left and the point difference between Inter and the other strong teams is not that big.

[BRINIRHA]

It seems Napoli don’t really want the championship this season. Yesterday they drew 0–0 at home against Parma.
It was a match where I was expecting a certain win, and this result really surprised me.

Inter Milan found the goal with Esposito towards the end of the match and beat Lecce 1–0. I was expecting a more comfortable win, a game that should have had at least 2 or 3 goals, but they won with just one.
Things are going well for Inter Milan, as they have increased the points gap over their closest rival Napoli to 6.

Many people must have lost their bets last night, especially those who bet on Napoli to win. And actually, those who chose a draw were very lucky. Napoli performance is sometimes really difficult to predict. I think this team should have been able to win the match without any significant obstacles. but it seems that their attack was not as good as usual. Conte must really improve this team's performance before facing the UCL match. At least this team has one Serie A match before the UCL match against Copenhagen. Napoli must show good performance in that match to rebuild their confidence.

[banana33]

Yea, both teams hasn't gotten it right yet in this match, but with the chances Napoli have had so far, I think they might likely win the match, they have taken over the ball possession, and it means they are ready to win the match although you have said that, but they were supposed to have gotten a goal atleast in the first half, they didn't, Napoli is the favorite to win here, I don't see parma as a threat to them unless they will allow parma to penatrate them as they come back from the second half break, am expecting and interesting outplay from Napoli and am hopeful that it will be a wining for them with not less than 2goals.

I often bet on teams i don't like, but i no longer bet on teams that don't have a balanced performance, for example i no longer bet on Inter than in a multiple bet where i had guessed ALL the results and only for a match that also had a low odds and therefore Inter's SURE victory, that day against Cagliari he lost (which happened several years ago) since that day i have not bet anymore.
But without knowing a team it's like playing blindfolded, did your friend know the team? Or did he only bet using luck?Boring, disappointing and inconclusive match, i expected Napoli to take advantage of the few chances to get a win, on the other hand Parma kept up by playing away from home, usually Napoli at home are more aggressive.
Unexpected this draw, whoever bet on the draw got a nice win, like you the others also thought of Napoli's sure win and instead got a nice disappointment.

[MAAManda]

Parma must be very proud to have gotten 1 point from Napoli because Napoli is a strong team, and if Parma continues to use this strategy, they may be able to climb the rankings higher than they are now. However, in this match, I liked Parma goalkeeper Rinaldi's performance because he always managed to catch the ball. If Rinaldi couldn't catch the ball, Napoli could have scored many goals because Napoli's attacks came relentlessly.

Yes, it should be. They managed to take 1 point from a big team playing at home.

I think Napoli have been unlucky lately, they have done their best, but the results they have achieved have not met expectations. If we take a closer look at the statistics, Napoli had 66% of the ball possession, attacking continuously with 16 shot attempts. 3 consecutive draws, they have to evaluate for the next match against Sassuolo.

[Volgastallion]

Is crazy to see Napoli team strugling so much against weakest rivals, the other day they drop points against Hellas Verona on their home and now they drop points against Parma agaain in the Diego Maradona Stadium, i dont know how you can take a tie against Inter on Milan soil and cannot win against this weak teams in your home.

[giammangiato]

Napoli aren't having a great time footballing, they definitely won't be able to win the Championship, and I also think they're in a downhill phase, like Roma, they're giving Juventus the opportunity to climb the table. We'll gradually see them in second place if they continue to play this way.

This isn't really surprising, as Parma, a team considered weak, had previously managed a draw against AC Milan. Napoli had also previously only managed a draw, and playing at home seemed unmotivated. I'm not sure what the problem is, but it seems like a lack of consistency and players playing without motivation. 19 shots without scoring is very poor.
