Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[UVUcoinBull]

I think Udinese will play well enough to stop Inter. Why?
First, Inter had a tough game last time against Lecce.
Udinese are improving their form — they beat Torino, who are also quite strong right now.
If Inter don’t score an early goal, it will be a difficult game for them.
They are also under pressure to win the round and stay top of the table, and that pressure keeps growing.

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.

Slowly Milan is starting to disrupt Inter Milan's dominance at the top of the table and this needs to be watched out for because Milan themselves can focus much more on chasing the Scudetto this season because they don't have a much more congested match schedule than Inter Milan. The win against Como showed a real change for Milan, we thought they would struggle to pick up points in that match, but instead, Milan managed to get all three points despite Como continuing to put pressure on Milan throughout the match.

The congested match schedule will make it a bit difficult for Inter Milan to keep up due to their limited squad depth and this could be an advantage for Milan if they can capitalize on it well. Moreover this month, Inter Milan will face crucial matches in the Champions League, where they will face Arsenal and Dortmund, so their preparations will certainly be much more thorough and will divide their concentration.

Milan made excellent use of the opportunity they were given and defeated Como 3–1 away from home.
It was a very important victory for Milan because a win would move them up to second place and they achieved that by winning.
With this victory, they also maintained the points gap between themselves and Inter Milan.

And not like that was an easy game normally. Como isn't a simple team or a small team, they are a team working hard to win and do great and beating them is hard and that is what Milan has achieved, I think it's very important and should be considered very valuable. Sometimes three points is way more valuable than three points and this one was one of those games because not everyone at the top will beat Como this easily, and even if they do, at least Milan did it too. So it's very good game.

That's right. Como is a tough team to beat even last season they consistently caused problems for the big teams. In that match Milan almost lost judging by Como's excellent attacking play. They even created numerous chances, but unfortunately Como wasn't effective in capitalizing on them especially since Milan's goalkeeper was on fire.

Meanwhile, Milan played solidly in this match despite playing under pressure. This was due to Allegri's role, who understands how to face teams with a high attack and effectively utilized his attacks. Of course, Como's victory boosted Milan's confidence to compete with Inter Milan who currently top the standings after defeating Parma. Milan's next match is against Lecce. I think Allegri is ready for the upcoming matches especially since Milan is currently focused solely on Serie A.

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.

Overall, I agree that this will not be an easy match for Inter. Udinese are inconsistent at the moment, but at home they know how to fight and they have enough quality players to cause problems. With the Champions League game against Arsenal coming up, rotation in Inter’s squad is almost inevitable, and that could also affect the flow of the game.
I think Inter will control the match and are likely to take points, but I do not expect a convincing win. Udinese at home are quite capable of avoiding a heavy defeat. That is why the most logical option for me is Udinese to stay within one goal — handicap (+1.5) on Udinese.

[BRINIRHA]

Just when I started to have hope in Atalanta again, they ended up making me lose faith in the results they achieved in their matches. I thought Pisa would not be able to hold Atalanta to a draw because Atalanta had been looking better lately. But apparently I was wrong.

I hope that the other Serie A matches today won't leave me feeling dissatisfied with the results again.
I hope inter Milan will beat udinese and Napoli and I hope Juventus will win both of their matches too.

Now the top teams entering the busy schedule match exactly for Inter Milan, two hours later will face Udinese at Serie A games week 21 match and three days later will face Arsenal at Champion League match. Its crucial for Inter Milan both matches are important how to improve current standings in Champion League and keep defending the top position in domestic league.
In Serie A, Inter Milan performance quite consistent after unbeaten 8 matches in a row and overall success winning 7 matches just getting draw from Napoli last two week ago.
Personally Udinese is not strong opponent teams for Inter Milan and not difficult for getting three points, but Cristian Chivu as Inter Milan manager will make huge rotation for this match because facing Arsenal in Champion League most important match to secure top standings in phase league round.

The issue with Atalanta is mostly fundamental. They have what it take to win games like this with almost no stress but then they keep having some tactical struggle and their defence line keep being at their low when they are most needed, in this case, they had all the chances to win this and now they are settled with a point, i am only jopw they will still be able to chase the title this season.

Atalanta's squad is strong. They are capable of playing well. But even then the team is not able to maintain consistency. They  unexpectedly lose points against weaker teams. None of us thought that pisa's Atalanta would fail to win. But atalanta completely failed to play well. I would have been happy if pisa could have won this  match. Pisa was able to perform much better than atalanta. I do not  know the reason for Atalanta's such strange performance. Is it a tactical weakness ? Or are the players failing to play well consistently ?

[SquallLeonhart]

Como is way too behind to make it worth. Being sixth is great for them, they are doing a wonderful job of that, but they are like five points behind and in Serie A that is a huge gap, usually teams are not really that easy to suddenly lose all games or win all games, neither Como will go on a 10 game winning streak, nor Roma will do that five games in a row and lose.

These teams will basically do about the same, and that is why even three points of Inter is seen as a big lead at the top. Inter is lucky though because there were four teams all within two points so far, whereas we are seeing them change a lot and now they are leading with three points and leading without anyone that close anymore, that does matter in this league.

Atalanta lost their head coach Gasperini and some star players in the summer, and with such big changes they have declining performances in this season. It's reasonable and even their gradual recovery is impressive enough. It's kind of late for Atalanta to join top four competition and finish this season in top four but I believe that they will be able to finish with either 5, 6 or 7 position and will be eligible for either Europa League or Conference League next season.

The match with Pisa is a disappointed one from Atalanta but I believe they will return to winning soon and as said I believe they will be one of representatives for Serie A in UEFA leagues next season, but not in UEFA Champions League.

Atalanta and Napoli are the most unreliable side in the Seria A big boys, henceforth, they will be on my black list and I will not have them on whatever tickets I stake. I have been disappointed on several occasions and the best way to go about this should be to ditch them completely. Inter Milan with a narrow win and thanks to Lautaro Martinez who's been consistent with banging them goals.  Inter Milan sits on top of the league and Martinez also getting better as the potential winner of the golden boot. Juventus and Ac Milan finishing in the top four will eventually heal me.

They are also under pressure to win the round and stay top of the table, and that pressure keeps growing.

Udinese is indeed a formidable opponent. however, Inter milan ultimately won the match against Udinese with a score of 0-1 and perhaps without the goal scored by L.Martinez in the 20th minute,, Inter milan could have even been held to a draw by Udinese. fortunately, Inter milan managed to score at least one goal in that match. As a result.. inter milan can remain relatively calm and continue to stay at the top of the standings with the points gap between them and other teams growing even larger.

Napoli should also win their match against Sassuolo. Napoli also needs full points to maintain the points gap and prevent it from becoming too large.

[boltz]

Udinese - Inter 0-1 and another 3 massive points for Inter and Chivu who are looking the best team by far in Serie A right now and also having 6 points over Ac.Milan. Now , I know that most of fans are expecting Inter to score more than 1-2 goals per game ( especially when the odds are around 1.30 for inter to score twice ) but on the same time 3 points are 3 points and Chivu is well aware of it and that's why Inter is playing to score early and then just secure the result.  

[Velvet78]

Inter were never in need of worrying about losing points today. Because Udinese were really lacking the skill of finishing. They couldn't even get dangerous in the attacking line that much. Only 0.22 xG...

Still Inter could have won by a bigger gap of course. That would be my only criticism on them. Other than that, congratulations. They are taking the right steps for the championship one by one.

Napoli should also win their match against Sassuolo. Napoli also needs full points to maintain the points gap and prevent it from becoming too large.

Napoli have already fallen behind in the title race. They have failed to win in three consecutive matches. Their points gap with Inter Milan has increased. If Napoli lose points again against sassuolo in today's match, then their title hopes will  have to be abandoned. Even qualifying for the champions league will become very difficult for them.

Napoli seems to be very  confident today. They want to get 3 points in today's home match at any cost. They are very aggressive today. They have been attacking since the first minute of the match. They have made 5 shots in 20 minutes. They have taken the lead in the seventh minute of the match with Lobotka's goal. It will be difficult for sassuolo to equalize the match. They are busy resisting napoli's attacks now.

Well, Napoli did fail to take advantage of their last few games to get full points. However, at least in those three games, Napoli did not suffer any defeats and only continued to get draws, including in the game against Inter Milan.

Now Napoli is truly striving to secure full points. And this time, Napoli might just achieve that. Although the score is currently 1-0, I believe Napoli could score again soon, or perhaps in the second half.

[Webetcoins]

Juventus, Napoli, Inter all are playing games today. And these are all teams that needs wins and can't afford to have even a tie. Would a parlay for all three to win would work out? Not entirely sure but the return is magnificent and I am going to give it a shot, not a huge amount but a small and something you can afford to lose could be played as a parlay for all three to win. Obviously Napoli is the riskiest one because even though Sassoulo is not a big team, Napoli has failed to win for a while now.

Yea, the early goal from Lobotka made the difference in the scoreline giving Napoli the lead. Sassuolo is trying their best not to ne on pressure as they keep struggling to balance the game and the scoreline. However, Napoli always stop Sassuolo attack whenever, they're trying to work out something. The first half is almost coming to an end with one minute left.

Atalanta has no chance if winning the title this season, from the way they play it's obvious that they are not focused and they have issues with their defense. My prediction for that game was for them to win or draw because I didn't trust them enough to win. for a team like pisa even the clubs that are Atalanta are better than should be able to win them easily but it's so disappointing that Atalanta lost
