Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[BRINIRHA]

One of the toughest matches for Milan so far although what it is seen on the score. It is just misleading when you think how effective Como were throughout the match. Unlike Milan...

Milan couldn't even keep a high level ball possession and had like the half amount of passes Como made. But they still somehow won 3-1! Both goals by Rabiot were impressive though. He played quite extra just as Maignan did.  

The problem is that Milan knows better how to effectively utilize their opportunities to score goals. Como did play very well. but milan was able to defend well, and in the end, it was Como who showed weaknesses in their own defense, which Milan took advantage of to score goals. Here, we can see that Milan is indeed the more experienced team.

However, to be honest Como's performance was still more impressive. They just weren't lucky enough to win this match.

Now all have same amount of games, while it's hard because it will require some teams to play with just one or two day rest, at least the league is back on schedule and we can see them with all the same number of games. Roma is still at fifth place and losing out the place to Juventus, which isn't good for them, they need to keep winning.

Napoli has been getting way too many draws, like three games in a row a draw isn't really a smart way to move forward and we should be focusing on something like that. If we can do a better job then things can do a very well move for Napoli, but if they keep getting draws or losses then even third place may not work well. So far Inter is doing fine, it's very obvious they are the most serious one out there.

When the gap is 1-3 goals, don't use luck as an excuse. We must praise AC Milan's defense. Football is not about attacking players trying to score goals and the defense standing firm. Even AC Milan are not in second place depending on luck. With the inclusion of Luka Modric, AC Milan has become an experienced team and they are winning even difficult matches. Rather than blaming Como's luck for the result of this match, I would rather give credit to AC Milan's experience and great counterattacks.

It was really great to see AC Milan's plan and strategy in action. It was clear that Milan came out with a defensive and counterattacking plan, which they succeeded in 100%. Milan used their strong defense 100%.

They were just destined to win that game if it was by efforts alone, it was Como who played better football but unfortunately sometimes it doesn’t work like that. Milan was the lucky ones using all the opportunities they got, you can say it’s experience.

I’m more impressed with the growth of Juventus since Luciano Spalleti took over, they have been very impressive and scoring goals at will and now occupying the fourth position.
The top three have three points gap between each position. Inter are looking more and more like the leaders.

Scoring first doesn't mean that you will win the game. Como opened the scoreline and dominated the first half but they couldn't score as many goal as the chances created which put them in a very tight corner in the second half. Milan few chances was well utilized by the players and they got three goals. What a wonderful display from Magnian and Rabiot.

I still have to praise Como performance, the way they played did not show that they are a new club in Serie A, dominating the match against Milan is not easy. But on the other hand Milan know how to take advantage of every opportunity, from 4 shots on target 3 of them were well executed.
Maignan was the hero and Rabiot was the nightmare for Como in this match with his 2 goals.

The defence was in disarray and they weren't coordinated,  when you look at the header scored by Como, you will see that that. Como played good football too, they were not the better side but they played decent football thanks to the manager. The goalkeeper made sure he kept them secured when he had a wonderful double safe. Milan fumbled during the last game they played. Good thing they made sure and took decisions

AC Milan is strong enough to match Inter who in this tournament are strong but not too strong to detach the others, i think there is no real team that is the leader of this tournament and it shows, to wait a player in double figures in goals we had to wait a lot of days,  It's not a very strong league

I must admit that Milan managed to stay only 3 points behind Inter so far despite all those unnecessary number of draws. The Como game could have also ended horrible for Milan if you watched it.

Milan had their luckiest game there thanks to their GK Maignan mostly.    Como wasted the opportunities of getting 2-0 ahead or getting ahead once again after it was 1-1. Allegri must have noticed their bad defending for sure.

AC Milan managed to be behind Inter Milan by only three points because Inter Milan wasn't consistent in winning matches this season, and those times AC Milan was playing draw, Inter Milan was still trying to overtake AC Milan and Napoli to top the Serie A table. I was even expecting AC Milan to drop points against Como last night, but AC Milan surprised me by beating Como by 1-3.

Tonight I saw an interesting match to bet on. And it's Pisa vs Atalanta Match. Pisa has been performing poorly in their last few matches. And in their last 5 matches alone they haven't been able to produce a single win. As for Atalanta they have been performing very impressively lately, where they have produced 3 consecutive wins and even won against AS Roma. I personally see a huge gap in performance between these two teams. And I predict that Atalanta will continue their good form in the upcoming match against Pisa. And Atalanta will be able to dominate the match or even win it. I will try my luck by betting on Atalanta as the winner for this upcoming match. I think it's very unlikely that Pisa will win the match or even they might only manage a draw if they play their hardest. So I personally think that a double chance bet on a draw or Atalanta would be a safe bet. But this time I'm placing my trust solely on a win for Atalanta. What are your thoughts on this match?

Unexpectedly,, this match turned out to be very tight. There were no goals in the first half, Due to both teams playing exceptionally well. Therefore, the game was very tight, with only attacks being exchanged without any goals being scored. I personally didn't expect Pisa, who are in the relegation zone,, to play this well. If Atlanta hadn't put up a strong defense, I think Atalanta could have lost. Fortunately, Atlanta's defense was strong enough, allowing Pisa's attacks to be well anticipated. Therefore, it seemed like there would be no goals in this match. However, just ten minutes before the game ended, Atalanta managed to score the opening goal,, and unfortunately, Pisa's players were able to equalize after that, which ultimately lasted until the end of the match. So, this match was quite exciting, in my opinion.

I was thinking the same thing when Como went 1-0 up, but Milan quickly recovered and became the better team in the match. Como's inability to get points at home is hurting them in their current European cup race. However, the fact that their opponent was Milan, who are in the championship race, makes the three points they lost less problematic. After all, Milan is a team that has beaten many teams and is capable of beating them.

With this game's 3 goals win to 1 over the Como guys, Milan has been able to secure a good three points which is tightening their gaps with the Inter guys who are at the lead of the table standing now. If Milan can be more consistent, they may still be able to make a statement by going to the top of the table especially knowing they still have couple of games to play. Inter on the other hand are very persistent when it comes to the issue of topping the table so even if they have a 1 point gap, it is not any guarantee for Milan to overtaken them in the table because they, the Inter guys, are good at protecting what they believe belongs to them which is the title.

It was a disappointing outing for Como, a club that has shown great prospects this season. They were the better side in that match but the difference was that AC Milan took the few chances they created. Mike Maignan should also be credited for the three points AC Milan got in Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia with several exceptional saves. Como had about eighteen shots and eight could have been goals. Cesc Fabregas deserves to play in Europe next season based on the quality of the squad he is building.  With more quality players added to the team, they will do more wonders.

I just hope that AC Milan's mentality will improve drastically after the win against Como because AC Milan's strength is actually quite strong, only they often can't maintain consistent performance and that is the problem this season and of course the competition for the title will remain fierce in Serie A and not only with Inter but several teams also cannot be ruled out.

I have been noticing that once it is remaining few days to the champions League, that is a weekend before champions League most clubs manger or coach do rest most of their key players More specially once a team is meeting a stronger opponent to play with, so seeing today Udinese vs Inter, it is not meant to be a strong one for Inter to win Udinese but for the fact that Inter is playing almighty Arsenal in the champion league on Tuesday and they decided to rest some of their key players just to be able to play Arsenal players very well on Tuesday and decide to have a target of win or draw with Udinese in their today match in Italian League.

Napoli has been getting way too many draws, like three games in a row a draw isn't really a smart way to move forward and we should be focusing on something like that. If we can do a better job then things can do a very well move for Napoli, but if they keep getting draws or losses then even third place may not work well. So far Inter is doing fine, it's very obvious they are the most serious one out there.

From the beginning of this season, I do not consider napoli as favorites for  the title. Last season , their attack was weak. Even then, they managed to secure the title. They were lucky. At the same time , they were only fighting for the Serie A title. This season, napoli strengthened their attack. At the same time, they have a competitive schedule. And for all  these reasons, I was sure that it would be very  difficult for Napoli to maintain a stable performance. Now we see that napoli is gradually falling behind in the title race. Their point gap with Inter Milan is 6 .

It must be admitted that Como played very well in this match. They created many chances and dominated the match. Despite being a small team they were able to put pressure on Milan. For me the Como vs Milan match was a great way to see and assess the character of both coaches. Fabregas presented beautiful football because of his style of play while Allegri taught his team how to win even under pressure.

I think Como fans should be proud of Como current performance which is truly extraordinary. A few years ago they were still playing in Serie B and now they are on par with the top six teams. Yes, Milan is very fortunate to have goalkeeper Mike Maignan, who consistently held off Como attacks and Milan was also fortunate that Rabioy performed well in this match.

Their point gap with Inter Milan is 6 .

I was certain asf at the start of the season  they would successfully defend the Seria A league competition, right now, these are just the early stages of the second half of the season, yet most important parts. Napoli will need a miracle to defend it again just like they did last season. Playing the champions league too comes with a lot of pressure I see. But then, that should be no excuses today, they need to step up and win the game at home. Shout out to Max Allegri and his team,  they're moving towards a great direction.

Match between Como and Milan was interesting fight of two ways of coaching, pretty style of Cesc Fabregas, who believes in beautiful soccer and winning, and way of Massimiliano Allegri, who depends on winning at all costs. Como has shown that their move up to the top level of Serie B is based on real ability and strong self by showing great spirit by holding ball and pressing Milan in way that any top six club would.

But, Milan was able to win due to work of single stars such as goalkeeper Mike Maignan, who made amazing saves, and Adrien Rabiot, who held midfield well despite case. Although Como won in good terms by playing better as team, Milan showed why they are giants by being calm and using their top players to get win even when outplayed.

[Cryptmuster]

Inter will play Udinese today, the opponent is not difficult, but on Tuesday Inter have a match against Arsenal in the Champions League, so Chivu may give some players a rest today. That is why I expect Inter to win, but the victory will not be big, most likely with a difference of one goal. Atalanta did not surprise yesterday, because Pisa showed from the very beginning that they did not want to lose this match, although when Atalanta scored in the 85th minute I thought they would be able to keep the win. Napoli also need to win today, too many matches have ended in a draw, and Inter are six points ahead.

[verdinio]

Also, Rabiot needs to be thanked. Rabiot scored both goals in  the second half. Leao and nkunku's performances were also quite good. Nkunku scored a goal and Leao was  able to provide an assist. Whatever, we have to praise como's performance. Although Milan won the match, Como won everyone's hearts.

Como played very well, it's clear that these guys are very good and Magnan saved everything, but this is Allegri's philosophy and in Italy and in Europe the best or the one who plays the beautiful game doesn't always win, and this match is a clear example of that.

Como has shown that their move up to the top level of Serie B is based on real ability and strong self by showing great spirit by holding ball and pressing Milan in way that any top six club would.

AC Milan are a bigger club with more successful tradition than Como, and they have better squad in quality and experienced than Como. Their head coaches are different in experience and quality too, as no way Cesc Fabregas has more experience and higher management quality than Max Allegri. They both managed their clubs well but Cesc and Como surely are in their own developments and have yet reached to a same level of AC Milan and Allegri.

But, Milan was able to win due to work of single stars such as goalkeeper Mike Maignan, who made amazing saves, and Adrien Rabiot, who held midfield well despite case. Although Como won in good terms by playing better as team, Milan showed why they are giants by being calm and using their top players to get win even when outplayed.

This defeat is bad for Como as they almost are out of top four competition, anyway it's not the end of season and even without any position in top four, Como can fight for other positions which can give them a slot to either UEFA Conference League or Europa League. If they can have it, this season will still be a successful one for a small club like Como.

With AC Milan, they are continuing the Scudetto competition with Inter Milan, Napoli and even Juventus and AS Roma. This competition for Scudetto and top four will be very tight among some biggest and strongest clubs in Italy this season, and AC Milan won't easily get any target they want without full concentration.
