Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Princess Leah]

The result of this game was shocking, seeing Como that is the visiting team coming to beat Lazio who had the home advantage,

I believe no body saw it coming leaning on how good the Lazio club have been in their previous matches, nobody would have thought that Como will have been able to defeat Lazio with a such a humiliating margin.

 I'm beginning to picture this Como club to be threatening  opposition to the elite club in the future for the champions league slots in the Serie A. with what they are doing presently.

It shows that the home advantage doesn't guarantee that a host team would win a match, if a team doesn't give their best then they’ll end up losing, although it can be very disappointing to fans of the club and even the players too would be disappointed that they've failed their fans in their home ground.

 It would be so surprising to see them finish ahead of some top clubs in the league but for that to happen they'll have to be more consistent cause the league is now tougher and winning Lazio won't guarantee that they'll win their upcoming matches if they don't put more effort to do so. I was really impressed with their performance though.

Como really smaller team than Lazio have long time in Serie A and current Como promotion to Serie A last two season ago, impressive progress development of Como since acquisition by Indonesia's businessman and right now success leading the 5th standings position. Coma need short term progress since Serie C after acquisition and right now success on the higher division place of Serie A with consistent performance every season.

Last night success beating Lazio and the nice guy Nico Paz always become man of the match for Como by scoring two goals, now Como 2 points left behind Juventus at the latest spot place for Champion League and I am optimistic Como is candidate team will fight for finishing at 4th standings.

Is hard to say, but in any case, i see Como as the favorites. They have higher morale and a manager who invests money when needed. He's brought in many champions, spending a lot of money. It's clear he wants to invest and make the team do well.
Lazio, on the other hand, doesn't have all this money available, from what i understand.

Lazio was humiliated in this match. Como played magnificently. With this victory, Como once again showed how dangerous they are. In Italy, they are competing for a place in Europe or the Champions League this year. Lazio may have underestimated them a little before the match, but Como is never a team to be underestimated. They clearly demonstrated this in the match, and we see that they have a chance to win every game they play in Italy.

Lazio played bad and lost that match while Como continued their dreaming season and this surprising impressive win against Lazio will help Como racing for top four with other clubs. They have fallen farther below top four than a couple of weeks ago but if they can return to winning, and maintain their winning streak, they will be able to wait for bad results from above clubs and see top four nearer again.

Nico Paz scored two goals in a win against Lazio and this impressive season with Como will help this young attacking player increasing his chance of getting a spot in Argentina national team for World Cup 2026 next summer. In Serie A, there are other Argentina attacking players like Dybala and Soule' so the competition for participating World Cup 2026 with the national is very high.

The emergence of Como is worth admiration, and it was another obvious gesture in this game against Lazio. They are still in their first few seasons since their promotion but sound investment, management and regular performances have propelled them into actual European contention. The role of Nico Paz must be neglected as well; after all, he has proven himself decisive in big games and demonstrated his merit once again against Lazio. I concur with the fact that Lazio apparently underrated Como and they got what they deserved. It was more than a win of luck but it was an overpowering performance. Their morale is high and the squad is deep enough; Como currently appear to be able to take anyone in Serie A, and a top-four place does not seem unrealistic anymore.

In Serie A, there are other Argentina attacking players like Dybala and Soule' so the competition for participating World Cup 2026 with the national is very high.

Personally I believe that now Paz is most exciting young player in Italy since he has kind of skill magic which makes him control speed of game as young Alexis Mac Allister or Paulo Dybala. In this form, he will not just be backup to older Golden Generation in North America this summer, but he will be true superstar who might well make Real Madrid use their buy-back choice sooner than would have been expected.

Nico Paz has that special thing which we call quality of time, when ball is at his feet, he seems to have all time to play. He is not only goalscorer but also game creator that helps everybody around him. I think he is perfect join point between Messi history and future of Albiceleste.

Yes,, even though this match was played at Lazio's home ground, the Lazio players still couldn't take advantage of the advantage of playing at home, and they were actually slaughtered by Como with 3 goals to nil, so it was clearly quite embarrassing for Lazio. But I personally am not too surprised to see Lazio's poor performance like this, because in previous matches Lazio's performance has indeed shown many weaknesses and gaps. So that's why in the last 5 matches Lazio really couldn't get satisfactory results. Because of the last 5 matches played by Lazio,, they were only able to get one win.

So from this, I personally can conclude that Lazio is currently not a top team anymore. Because their performance is also really not well coordinated at this time. And as for Como, I think they are a pretty great team at the moment, and the consistency of performance they have shown so far is what makes me feel that this team does have a good future. So, I also feel that next season,, Como does have a chance to compete in major competitions like the Champions League or Europa League. Because their current form is already very good enough to compete in major competitions.

Nico Paz is most talented young player in Serie A and so far playing well with Como always contribution by scoring goals or create assists, I think Nico Paz has completed players can play well as attacking midfielder and consistent scoring goals to help Como get three points. For this season have played 21 matches and Nico Paz scoring 8 goals and make 6 assists in Serie A matches impressively Paz never absent one match yet for Como in Serie A matches.

Como has difficulty position with Nico Paz because has buy back release with Real Madrid if sometime interested to get him back, I want to see Nico Paz can bring Como finish at Champion League spot standings and firstly in history will play at UCL for next season.

Somehow Fabregas motivates his players causing them to perform so exceptionally this season, even though, in general, the quality of their players is not much better than some other teams in Serie A. Lazio is also one of the best teams in Serie A, but against Como they were unable to do much and instead, Como played a much more dominant game with a much more coordinated game. Given Como's current position, perhaps competing for a Champions League or Europa League spot is not impossible as long as they can perform more consistently going forward.

The tactics implemented by Fabregas are quite good so that they can be executed well by the players and I think we also have to admit that Como is a team with very good chemistry even though the quality of their players is not that good compared to the top Serie A teams, but because of the team's cohesiveness, their performance can be good and consistent.

But that dude took Atalanta from a team of "who cares" to a team that won Europa league, and finished consistently high up at Serie A while he was in charge. With Roma being a richer team, I guarantee you that they are going to do better long term as long as he stays.

Exactly, he's always been an underrated coach, if you like. With the move to Roma, he's finally at a team that wants to invest, not a team that looks at saving money as its primary consideration. i am obviously referring to Atalanta. So, here he can make a qualitative leap.

I just see Gasperini as a manager who really loves the challenge.    First he managed Atalanta and tried to do a really hard work to reach the top. Maybe he couldn't make the team the champion but he got really nice results.

Now I believe Roma has an increased difficulty for him... The squad he has isn't good enough for big successes. But he still keeps up the good work in top 4. Even though they don't score many goals they still manage to win lots of games.

[m4r1o]

know Como is a team that has become one of the strongest in Serie A. However, seeing how Lazio was defeated by a large margin still brought disappointment to Lazio in that match. lazio should have been able to put up a tougher fight in that match but yeah, you're right, they seem like a club that can't be fully relied upon. On one hand I think Como is an extraordinary team. Meanwhile, Lazio seems to still be struggling with the inconsistency they?ve been experiencing lately.

Lazio is mentally strong, I totally agree with you, but yesterday Como showed that they can break their mental strength and resistance. If they continue like this, they can certainly do really well. I think they are a team that can really show us that it's never over.

[tbterryboy]

With Allegri's classic wins with small margins Milan are still in the title race. I don't like his ways anyway though. It's old and boring for modern football no matter how many times they collect 3 points.

Will this even win the league by this game style? I don't think so for now. Inter just need to mess up a lot for that! I don't expect them to be that bad either. To me, Chivu is quite likely to get his first league title with Inter already.

I agree with few points because he is surely boring and old still as he is doing, drops can become an ocean it's the reality, he has done impressive job against high-flying Como with score of 1–3, now he is heading for the Roma challenge, this could be crucial for their title claim.

For me currently, Inter Milan, AC Milan and As Roma are title contenders while Napoli losing their depth which is going to hurt them, Juventus is also entering, but it's too late like they are also having not main striker which can keep their challenge at top.

This season is having many surprises with top 6 teams are on same level which making things exciting but few teams like Atlanta, Lazio and Fiorentina are missing, these making scenarios not good enough to bet. Hopefully all will be on good level till end of this season.

[bitgolden]

While I understand the shock people have when Como beats Lazio this easily, because we have seen Lazio be a big team in this league for many years whereas Como is brand new. The reality is that Como spends more money than even Lazio, so it is not a shocker that they would build a better team.

Of course it is not really that much of a guaranteed thing just because one team spends more money, you could spend money and still lose, but Como did have all the possibilities of building a better team.

I do not believe in such intelligence when its real benefit is not in winning and strength and Lazio is also included in it, which is why I do not consider them to be intelligent. The way Como defeated them by scoring 3 goals also clearly proves that Lazio's intelligence could not control it and did not score a single goal and got a bad defeat. If they were successful, they could have improved their position and performance. If they win these matches and do not weaken their performance, they can put their foot in the first top 3, which can make them strong and hard-working and count them in the title. Lazio should not have lost this match, but should have tried and given them hope for a draw, but they could not score any goals against them.

[cande86]

Lazio can't play as well as last season, so it's natural that they lost everything in the match against Como, another fact Como is no longer a small team, they can play like last night in front of Milan, if you remember even though Como lost to Milan, they excelled in possession and chances.
But the main thing I noticed in Lazio, they need to add new ammunition, which is more quality than the players they currently have.

Como is actually very strong and this is nothing new.

They are a very strong team that only thinks about the result and how to win.

Clearly, they cannot do very well against much stronger teams, but I have to say that these players are truly extraordinary.

[dollyamo]

The gap at the top is still the same, three points. Only thing changed this week was Juventus getting a loss, which they did not expected but after so many games with wins and doing very well, it was normal for them to have a misstep sometime and this week was that one. Roma took full advantage of that and took the fourth position back from them.

The gap is now three points there too, Roma is ahead by three points and they might be feeling quite well about it. Gasperini is definitely the best manager in that league to me, I know Conte and Allegri and so forth looks great, but Gasperini makes every team he is on better, and he has not been given a chance at the very top so far, which means he is growing every team he is on.

This week slowed down Juventus, but the Championship hasn't undergone any major changes, has Roma woken up and would like to join Inter? I don't think so.
I think Milan, despite playing some really bad games, could snatch the title from Inter, I'm convinced they could really do it.
I want to see what result he gets next game to confirm what I'm saying.

[1kodumtek7]

Inter are really horrible in big matches this season. They are coming back to the Serie A with another loss in the Champions League. They lost their last 3 matches which were all against big teams there. 

This is a point that Chivu needs to improve about himself. He should find a way to win an important part of those matches as well. Maybe they are still the leader in the Serie A now but this would make them even more dominant.

[changaa]

I wasn't surprised that Como were able to pull such a surprise result and that's because they've been impressive this season. Cesc Fabregas has really improved the team and at the moment, I think they're eyeing to finish the season in a position that'll guarantee European football next season. Current 5 points behind fourth placed Roma, Como can go all the way and finish in the top four of they can be a little more consistent than they've been since the start of the season. That'll be a very great feat if they achieve it. I'm rooting for them.

Como has been consistent with their play and performance on the pitch, i wasn't surprised either, are we almost getting used to seeing them play well?
Could next year be one of the big teams coveting the cup?

He will definitely not do more than he is doing this season, he will just put on a show and assert himself on the pitch, I really don't think he can climb the table to the point of winning the championship, that's indisputable.

[martinom]

In such a situation one can't help but fully admit that Como were the better side, they didn't win with a slim scoreline but a 3 goa edgel , the home side didn't even get a consolation goal which goes to show how dominant Como was in this game, scoring 3 goals away from home against a highly rated Lazio who were at home and were expected to be ones in control of the game but ended up conceding 3 goals. Yet couldn't couldn't create any goal scoring opportunity even being 3 goals behind.

Id say saying otherwise with a score like that wouldn't be a fair view of the game don't you think?
Como has taught all the teams this season, even the most important in the league, a small team that pushes like a team points at you.
From below you can climb back up with commitment, perseverance and perseverance.
