Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Berry2d]

Inter Milan is ranked on top of Serie A table as Winter Champions, yet history tells us that three to six point gap over others is not impossible to beat, as champions in mid season are not that successful in winning title some 30 percent of time. Team is now feeling tiredness gap because it has busy list of games and star players such as Hakan Calhanoglu and Denzel Dumfries have got major injuries, which means that manager Cristian Chivu has to switch his players much during hard time of Champions League games.

In the meantime, rivals are closing in, AC Milan has unbelievable run without loss under leadership of Luka Modric and Christian Pulisic, and Napoli is also major danger, despite its star striker Kevin De Bruyne being hurt in the leg. In the end, title will go to team that is most good at dealing with physical strain and pressure of next few months, which is that Inter can easily lose its small lead in case they fail in their next local and European matches.

Inter Milan are doing what everyone would like to do: dominate the championship and extend its advantage against everyone, but this is not always easy, let's remember that those who are winter champions usually win the championship with some ease, we'll see

Inter have been so dominating in the Italian league for a long time but this seasons own in so impressive as they have extended there strength to other European tournament like champions league that writing them off as trophy contender will be very difficult for now except they lose consistency because of injury or other related reasons. With there current form for now and position in Italian league table i don't think they can give it up for any team to take over

Judging from the fact that Juventus won big in this match, I wasn't too excited because Juventus won against a mediocre Serie A team sitting at 13th place in the league table... Makes no difference! Cremonese was strengthened by this particular goalkeeper, they conceded less than 2 goals, and in the middle of this season, in previous match, jay idzes made fatal mistakes. and now, emil audero conceded 5 goals.  it was the first time that Cremonese conceded that much goals against Juventus, and it was probably a bad day for the team.

Juventus have improved significantly since Spalletti's arrival into the club as their manager.
Its been awhile since Juventus won so convincingly. And also their first time since 2018 for them to scored 5 goals in a league match. Although it's unbelievable that Spalletti can change the team this much with such a leftover squad, in this very short amount of time. Meanwhile Cremonese may be dragged into the relegation battle if they seem to be no improvement as they're getting worse as the season progresses.

Bruh....
Inter is ranked 6th in CL, Atalanta is ranked 5th! So what the hell are you talking about?
Also, you know what their odds are? 26 to one!
They have nearly the same odds as Atletico and Tottenham!

As for dominating Serie A....3 points ahead of a team that couldn't beat Fiorentina is dominating?

You do know that two days ago Juventus lost 1-0 to Cagliari, do you?

....And you do know that in their last 5 matches (excluding 2 UCL matches) they've been incredibly better off, except for a tie against leece? You mean you only watch a team when they're struggling, but the moments of victory before that doesn't matter to you? It counts Stompix, it really does..  

Seems like you didn't take the time to read through my post against Cremonese-- when was the last time they scored so many goals (5) in their local league? Look, everything i discuss about is for the records, so you can DYOR as well. What difference does the loss against Cagliagi make? 3 points and 1 goal difference? Doesn't take them anywhere above the 10th position until the league ends.

I don't think the same on their so-called improvement. If they are still struggling to enter top 4 then there is nothing impressive they are doing now. Besides it doesn't mean they are better to me just because they scored 5 goals in one game.

They lost to a small team like Cagliari 1-0 right after that. But I don't blame it on Spalletti fully of course. The problem is that their squad isn't that awesome. They need signings as soon as possible. Especially a proper CF if possible...

Was the match last week that you were talking about Juventus and they scored 5 goals without reply from Cremonese, obviously a big win here, including the match against Sassuolo they won 3-0 here which was good of course because they were also less productive in terms of goals previously, what was annoying was the match against Lecce they ended in a draw by a team that is in 18th place and lower than Cremonese, what do you think about this?

[SquallLeonhart]

The next games of Inter will definitely be a very big test. I know that they are easy and weak teams but that is the whole point, because when you play against weak teams then you have to get all nine points out of these three games. That is very tough because they will also have important games at UCL at the same time as well.

If they can somehow manage to win all three and get nine points, while also staying at top 16 of UCL so they can have a good chance (maybe even top eight) then that is going to be great period. If they fail even once, like lose points to any of these teams, or go down at UCL, then things will not look good. Things being "easy" doesn't mean it's good, it means there is a risk of unexpected loss there.

[jakdanyel]

Top 4 teams won at the same weekend by the way. I guess that was a great day for Serie A gamblers.    Except the ones who included Juventus win in their betslips...

It is really sad to see Juventus in this situation. They are still not competitive at all for a league championship. They are far away from their good old days in which they dominated the league.

Maybe this is better though as we see different champions every year.

Juventus performed exceptionally well against cremonese. We knew that Juventus' attack was weak. Everyone was  surprised to see them score 5 goals in this match. And we thought that juventus attack had improved. Their attack is strong now. But we  were wrong.

Juventus stumbled against cagliari. Juventus played well, attacked a lot. But could not score any goals. Again  we saw juventus poor finishing. Even after 22  shots, they could not s core a single goal. Juve's attack really needs to be changed. They should have an experienced striker.

Cremonese vs Verona

Maybe not many people are interested in betting on unattractive matches between lower table teams, but honestly those games can be very profitable.

Both teams have fairly decent odds, and based on their H2H record, a draw has happened before. In terms of performance, the two sides aren’t that far apart, although Cremonese do have a solid advantage playing at home. My prediction is, if Verona score first, they’ll likely go on to win the match. But if Cremonese get the early goal, the home team should take all 3 points.

For now, I see over 8.5 total corners as a pretty safe and comfortable bet.

I read your post perfectly, that's why again I am asking you:
Did you know at the time you posted this that Juventus lost against Cagliari?
Nobody uses "this match" for the previous round match, you only talked about Cremonese when obviously the news was about Cagliari!

I wouldn't press it, but it seems like you have a habit of discussing things from the past, this is not the first time it happend and you know it! Remember how you congratulated Madrid for the win that was a loss?  
Be honest, you forgot Juventus played against Cagliari and you thought Cremonese was the last match, and that's it!

[colinistheman]

Such erratic performance of Juventus is nothing new for us. Spalletti cannot be blamed for this. Juventus's match strategy was very good. They were able to create many chances. But they could not score any goals. I do not see any reason to say that there was a tactical weakness in their performance. Juventus management should buy experienced midfielders and strikers. Only then their performance will be more strong and consistent. It would not be right to blame Spalletti at all. He is trying his best to bring stability to Juventus  performance. But he is not able to succeed due to weak attack.

[babo]

Satisfying win for Torino away from home as they take advantage of some disorganized Roma defending. AS Roma goalkeeper with a dwindling performance. he was so terrible and not worth to start any game, it seems Roma had a player in the goalpost not a goalkeeper, cause I keep wondering! how can this guy be a Roma goalkeeper?

Despite the fact that Roma came up with a very unexpected scorers with a magnificent finishing as a striker, and Arena the young kid from Sydney with his first ever touch to equalise the second goal, this is absolutely a superb debut in History at that age. I guess it will pass a lot of years to happen again, which is practically impossible. Roma now move on to focussing the two most important competitions for them as UEFA Championship league qualification is crucial for the club. To be be honest, it would be worse to qualify for Copa Italia than being eliminated. Even if they had qualified, they would have to play more games with better teams and they can't afford the risk of exhausting their best players.

I didn't understand what game you watched
but sorry, didn't Roma win with a 2 goal difference against Torino?
after all, good Gasperini has done a great job, just look at Roma's position in the current standings, above Juventus.

So, i think Roma can going in Champions League next season

Undoubtedly no one wants to watch an unpleasant match but I still watched this match and it seemed competitive to me. In fact, this team is at a lower level, especially the Verona team is in 20th position in the points table, and on the other hand we can see that Cremonese is in 12th place in the points table. In fact, considering the position, it seemed that the Cremonese might snatch victory in this match but they once again showed a disappointing performance and they shared the points in this match, it's true that Verona was a little more aggressive in this game but they were unable to score any winning goals in this match.

It's not the first time Juventus has been defeated by a team below them, previously they were defeated 2-0 by COMO, but the defeat from Calcio was quite ridiculous especially when they had just defeated Cremonese 5-0, they should have been able to beat Calcio, but so bad they couldn't break down Calcio's defense and with so many shots none of them managed to become a goal, which shows how blunt Juventus' attack line was in that match. if only they had won that match, maybe they could have increased their chances of getting into the top 4, but looking at their current condition it seems they will be stuck in 5th place.

Juventus is currently 10 points behind the leader in Serie A. They wont be able to catch up that quickly, especially not with their current form. They have only won 11 of 21 games, which maybe not be enough to qualify for the Champions League next season, that will be close. Inter Milan and AC Milan are currently much better, and they dont have the better players. But they are a better team. Behind there is AS Roma and SSC Napoli, which I think are currently better teams than Juventus.

The match between Lazio and Como has started, and the first half is about to end. Como is leading with two goals. Como is the team that is dominating the match currently, but I don’t know how the first half will end. However, it is very possible that Como will be able to maintain those two goals because the first half is almost over.

I am just looking forward to the second half to see what is going to happen. Maybe Lazio will try to appear stronger than they were in the first half, but to be honest, I am not expecting much from them. In fact, with the way I am seeing the match, Como may even add more goals before the game ends. But let’s just see how the second half will be. Maybe Lazio will be lucky enough to equalize the goals.

[Uruhara]

Seeing how Como played against Lazio in this match really surprised me. I know Como is a pretty strong team. but beating Lazio, who were the home team by such a big margin is something I never would have imagined.

The current score is 0-3 in favor of Como And what really surprised me is that Lazio hasn't managed to score a single goal in this match. I hope Lazio scores at least one goal in this match to show that they can put up a fight too.

[Sandra_hakeem]

I didn't understand what game you watched
but sorry, didn't Roma win with a 2 goal difference against Torino?[

That was about the Copa Italia round of 16 match. Just happens that they had to play against themselves twice in a row.

after all, good Gasperini has done a great job, just look at Roma's position in the current standings, above Juventus.

So, i think Roma can going in Champions League next season

Roma is doing very good Btw. 4 out of 5 wins is an impressive one. Most importantly, a slot to participate in the champions League like you said. Do you think it's going to remain this way, considering the fact that they've only played 21 games so far? Let's know your thoughts on that.

Como's first goal came in the 2nd minute of the game and from that moment, they dominated the entire game. After the scored the 3rd goal of the game few minutes after the start of second half, I knew it was over for the home team. Lazio approached the game like they've already conceded defeat before the start, it's disappointing for their fans who were leaving the stadium before final whistle. It ended 0:3 in favour of the home visitors
