Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[verdinio]

Inter Milan's chances of winning the Scudetto are much greater, given their slightly better performance so far compared to some of the other teams. Initially I thought Milan could be a strong challenger for Inter Milan, but given their inconsistent performance, Inter Milan has become the sole favorite. An eight-point lead is no small feat to pursue and given Inter Milan's performance against Sassuolo, I'm slightly optimistic that this season will be Inter Milan's best chance of winning the Scudetto as their team's strength and consistency are far superior to those of the other teams currently.

Inter will win the Scudetto this year and it's clear from their performance, they are really strong and are trying in every way to distance themselves further and further, unless they manage to do badly and lose more games i don't know the situation seems quite stable and continuous, which makes me think that they will win the Scudetto.

I agree on Inter's chances on the title. They are my favourite for the championship as well.

Let's have a look at what bookmakers are thinking:

Inter: 1.16

Milan: 7.50

Napoli follow these 2 teams with 15.00 odds. Inter are just seen as the absolute favourites.    If Milan win their missing match against Como the gap will be 5 points.

It would still be a decent advantage for Inter. However I still find Inter's odds too low for such a gap. They aren't Bayern Munich playing in the Bundesliga in the end. We can't announce them the champions just yet...

[BRINIRHA]

Juventus can sometimes be a very difficult team to face for any team when they are at their best. however, they are not always able to maintain their best performance. As a result, in other matches, their performance sometimes seems uncharacteristic. Juventus' inconsistency has been evident since previous seasons. They are always like this. They are always able to compete fiercely for a spot in the top four. however, they seem unprepared when it comes to competing for the top spot. as a result, their points seem sufficient only for Competing in the top four.

Juventus has always been like this for a long time. Even after changing coaches. But every season, the reasons are always different. Sometimes the teamm struggles to win and gets a lot of draws because of a lack of quality forwards, and sometimes when the team has the players it needs, unwanted things happen, such as a storm of injuries. Or there are times when the team is very consistent but ends up facing a 10-point deduction penalty. Well, a lot always happens to Juventus. It's as if the team has lost its luck in Serie A.

[Volgastallion]

Well if nothing strange happens it seems like Inter is gonna become the champion of the serieA in easy mode. Napoli who was the title holder and best contender right now is a complete failure, i dont know how they can be this bad right now, i understand they lose a key player like KDB but come on, you cant drop points in every single game you play.

[Stable090]

Lazio has always been a difficult opponent for Juventus in recent years, and this season's results against Lazio confirm this trend. Juventus has only earned one point against them.
This complicates Juventus' plans considerably, as they must now hope that Roma and Como do not earn full points in order to avoid compromising their race for fourth place.

Asides the fact that Lazio has not been an easy side for Juventus, Juventus has not been a stable side for the longest of time, a few times they will come off really brilliant and the other time, you just  cannot understand or place your hands around the exact thing they are doing, and you will  be wondering if they are actually aiming at something tangible this season, and previous seasons, they just more like settle and so Lazio was not even playing with the chances they had got.

That game, Juventus really misused their opportunity because they did very well in the game, no doubt on that. But Lazio didn’t waste their chances because they only had 2 shots on target, which were also goals to them. On the other hand, Juventus had almost 8 shots on target but scored only 2 goals, which is the disappointing part. Juventus are the ones playing on their home ground where the game was played, and we all know that having hope in Juventus will only make you more sad as time goes on. But one thing I know for sure is that if Juventus don’t act fast, Roma or Como will overtake them in no time.

If Roma beat Cagliari today, they will be level on points with Juventus. The two points Juventus lost at home could create a huge problem for them. Juventus took 32 shots, 8 of which were on target. This statistic clearly shows the reason for their dropped points. They wasted many chances and only managed to salvage one point from a match they could have won, and that was a late goal. Juventus should play at a level where they can beat the best team in the world when playing at home. That's what's expected of them.

[X-ray]

Lazio had taken a 2-goal lead, but they couldn't withstand Juve's attacks. Juve took 34 shots in the match and finally scored 2 goals. They only earned 1 point though. The second goal came too late. It's difficult to turn the match around when you're 2 goals behind. Still, Juve could have gotten more out of this match. They failed to do so.
They are already far from the top this season.

Anything no less than UCL spots have to be realistic target for Juve. You know how garbage their performance is. They shoot 32 times, but only scored two. Meanwhile, Lazio shoot 8, but scored the same. It clearly tells us how they're not ready competing for the trophy.

They're too often relied upon their excellent players with no good team work have been built. So i think next season is still remain the same. they have too many players ain't serie a level such as Openda, Cambiasso, Zharagova, and Koopmeiners . As long as those players are still there, never expect them to be better.

The best thing to do sell them all, then sign quality midfielders and defenders. It has to be a home work for Spalletti to improve his club.

Napoli?s win was honestly more about luck, since they got the chance to score from a penalty. If you look at yesterday?s match, the Genoa players didn?t really commit a foul. The referee made a poor call and ended up giving Napoli a penalty. If that moment hadn?t happened, the game probably would?ve ended in a draw and Napoli?s reputation could?ve taken another hit.

At first, I thought Napoli would come out stronger and look more convincing after being knocked out of the UCL. But their performance still feels the same as before. Conte should be able to bring new motivation and a different tactical approach so Napoli can get back to being real title contenders.

True, but as i was saying, sometimes luck is a must for Manchester City too.
Of course, we shouldn't abuse it. In my opinion, Antonio Conte is having a lot of luck to stay afloat, but he can't rely on this: sooner or later, luck disappears and only troubles remain.

[Sandra_hakeem]

Serie A is actually making Mctommny look like the best player in the whole world! he's became one of Scotland's greatest player and I am loving it! hope he brings this momentum to the world cup. Genoa's defense literally created too much space and time to shoot for Mctommny.

Last minute win, 2 goals with the magic by Mctomine, then Hojlund scored the Last as he scored the first.
It was also amazing to see Scott and Rasmus doing well. Scott should never have been sold from United in the first place and I am sure Rasmus would have done pretty well today with Bruno, Cunha and Mbuemo around him.
Well done to Napoli for winning, but that was a shambles of a performance in defence! Napoli better improvise on their defense for the next matches, else they will struggle to get into the top four for a champions league place.

[GiftedMAN]

Even though Napoli was given a red card in the 76th minute, it's not easy for Genoa to capitalizing on that to beat Napoli, because Napoli is a stronger team than Genoa. I won't even blame Genoa for losing to Napoli at the dying minute of the match because Napoli scored the winning goal from a penalty spot. Juventus couldn't win their match yesterday against Lazio; Juventus played a 2-2 draw with Lazio. But Napoli should improve their performance because teams like Juventus, AS Roma, and Como are serious competitors for the top four, and with the points Napoli is using to top Juventus, AS Roma, and Como, it will be easy for them to kick out Napoli from the top four if they continue to struggle.

Napoli won out of luck yesterday cause they were not really performing well in the game, though Genoa could not hold to their advantage to punish Napoli they should have held the game to a 2:2 draw instead of given away the 3 points when they almost got it shared. Juventus draw against Lazio was unexpected they were supposed to win to keep their position alive but right now they are going to keep fighting for the position and the competition will become more stronger because all the teams you listed here are fighting to finish among the 4 best times to be able to make to the champions League next season.

[giorgione]

That was an impressive performance for Inter Milan and with this kinda performance it?d definitely be hard for anyone to snatch the league title from them this season.

DiMarco gave an hatrick of assists yesterday?s night in that game and since they?ve secured this three points they?re very far ahead in the title race. They could have scored more goals after the red card since Sassuolo were playing with ten men but they only scored a single goal but nevertheless they still won with a clean sheet.


Inter Milan Vs Juventus will be an interesting match but I think Inter Milan will definitely win again against Juventus because Juve haven?t been in consistent streaks and performance lately..they could have lost against Lazio if not for than late  equalizer in the stoppage time even though they were dominating the game but they still conceded two goals.

Inter Miln are playing very well and that doesn't surprise me.
They should have won a while ago, but last year they didn't manage to do so because they were so focused on competing in so many different competitions that they didn't even manage to win one. This is a sad story, but this year they are totally making up for it. We'll see some great things from this team.

[Pandu Geddon]

In their last meeting, Juventus had to acknowledge Lazio's victory. Juventus lost 1-0 at Lazio's home through an early goal in the first half. The problem at the time was poor finishing.
This time, Juventus will play at home, and they certainly do not want to be embarrassed in front of their fans. The match is sure to be very competitive; Juventus could dominate the game, but the final result cannot be predicted.

One issue with Juventus is with their inconsistency and how they often not maintain a particular form for the longest of time, I actually did not have a particular expectations of them against Lazio and that is why when I saw this results I really did not get surprised because I was open to accepting any results knowing what Juventus can be likee at a time.

As I predicted, Juventus indeed dominated the match, but the result was not what Juventus expected as the home team. The game ended in a 2-2 draw, even though Juventus gave their all and created many opportunities. Juventus wants to secure their position in the standings, and of course, they would not be happy with a draw. But it is better than losing points.

[Cryptmuster]

If Roma beat Cagliari today, they will be level on points with Juventus. The two points Juventus lost at home could create a huge problem for them. Juventus took 32 shots, 8 of which were on target. This statistic clearly shows the reason for their dropped points. They wasted many chances and only managed to salvage one point from a match they could have won, and that was a late goal. Juventus should play at a level where they can beat the best team in the world when playing at home. That's what's expected of them.

Today there will be two Serie A matches: Atalanta host Cremonese, and Roma host Cagliari. First of all, I paid attention to Roma’s match, they need a win if they want to move into the Champions League zone, but all their forwards are still sidelined with injuries. In this situation, I think Cagliari could realistically try to play this match for a draw.

As for Atalanta’s match, I believe they are quite capable of beating Cremonese. They beat Juventus in the Coppa Italia, before that they drew away to Como in Serie A and beat Parma at home. So I think they are in good form to beat Cremonese, who alternate losses with only occasional draws.

They dominated, but they barely managed to scrape a point. Kalulu scored in the 96' minute and saved the team, and now they are three points behind Napoli, while they could have been just one point behind. They are playing much better than in previous years, but that is still not enough to win the title. They have matches against Galatasaray, which will not be easy, and if they perform like they did against Lazio, it will be very hard for them to go through. Of course, i would like as many serie a teams as possible to advance, but for now the only team that really looks promising is Inter

[JeffBrad12]

Roma @1.50
Cagliari @8.07



Roma is gonna hosting the game against Cagliari. They're losing so many players(Dovbyk, Kone, Vaz, Ferguson and etc) due to injury. So i think it's gonna harming their performance, though they will play at olimpico. The good news is that Cagliari is gonna miss Belotti and Felicci, which obviously decrease the strength of the squad. So it means a little advantage for them.
The game against Cagliari has never been easy since they often won with small margin against Cagliari at home. In my prediction the score will be 1-0 for Roma to take three points.

The scenario is that Cagliari is gonna do low block, while Roma has to push even harder in order to score. So neither draw or cagliari win will happen. It's obvious betting on Roma seems give us greater chance to bag some money.

This time, there may not be a storm of injuries. Howeverr, Juventus lost one of their most important players in the center forward position, Dusan Vlahovic, who has been injured since November last year. He needs a long recovery period, as he is expected to be able to play again in March this year. but so far, Juventus still looks fine. However, if Dusan Vlahovic were not injured, this team could be even better.  

Getting a draw against Lazio is actually not bad at all. It's just unfortunate because in the next match, Juventus could even lose points as they will face Inter Milan.

Inter currently seemed like the best Italian team in both the Italian league and the Champions League. Napoli surprised me by finishing outside the top 24. I had high hopes for them at the beginning of the season, especially with the KDB transfer, I thought their attack would be much stronger, but his injury affected Napoli very badly. All plans fell apart, and they were eliminated from the Champions League early. Now they are completely focused on the Italian league and will try to minimize point losses with the advantage of playing fewer matches. Juventus, on the other hand, will face two tough matches against Galatasaray, and Galatasaray has a chance to beat Juventus at home. They will need to beat Galatasaray in Italy because Galatasaray could get an advantageous score.

[Akbarkoe]

Well if nothing strange happens it seems like Inter is gonna become the champion of the serieA in easy mode. Napoli who was the title holder and best contender right now is a complete failure, i dont know how they can be this bad right now, i understand they lose a key player like KDB but come on, you cant drop points in every single game you play.

We must realize that the current team is different from the team in the past where Conte had solid players and this season, it is very different, Napoli's current state of development is not like last season because the core team was different from now, relying on KDB alone is not enough to compete at the top of Serie A now because we see other teams are quite impressive in their performance especially Inter Milan who now has the ability to dominate very high at the top of the standings, but if Napoli's target is 4th place in the league standings now for the minimum target, it is very possible.

Inter Milan did not begin this season well and smooth but with time, they have improved themselves and together with inconsistency of many competitors, they climbed up and took over a first position. Then Inter Milan in several latest weeks have never lost that first position to any competitor. Their strength, good performances and win results in latest matches make us thinking that it's easy to have the position but it's untrue.

Inter Milan, Chivu and players have to work very hard to get that position and secure it with good differences against below clubs. The season is long and with 14 more matches, Scudetto has yet awarded to Inter Milan, and other clubs still have opportunities to challenge Inter Milan and win Scudetto.

We must realize that the current team is different from the team in the past where Conte had solid players and this season, it is very different, Napoli's current state of development is not like last season because the core team was different from now, relying on KDB alone is not enough to compete at the top of Serie A now because we see other teams are quite impressive in their performance especially Inter Milan who now has the ability to dominate very high at the top of the standings, but if Napoli's target is 4th place in the league standings now for the minimum target, it is very possible.

Conte managed Napoli very well and no matter how they will finish this season in Serie A, a Scudetto in the last season is a milestone for Conte's career and for Napoli club history. He will be remembered as one of legendary coaches in Napoli history as this club don't win many Scudetto so far. Injuries of Lukaku and De Bruyne actually affected many plans of Conte and performances of Napoli in this season.

[TastyChillySauce00]

Let's have a look at what bookmakers are thinking:

Inter: 1.16

Milan: 7.50

Napoli follow these 2 teams with 15.00 odds. Inter are just seen as the absolute favourites.    If Milan win their missing match against Como the gap will be 5 points.

It would still be a decent advantage for Inter. However I still find Inter's odds too low for such a gap. They aren't Bayern Munich playing in the Bundesliga in the end. We can't announce them the champions just yet...

It seems bookies were putting such low odds for Inter caused by they rated their consistency. They're the only club who is only losing one game so far, though they have also played in the UCL as well. So it makes sense when they get such low odds considering how good player management by their manager.
They played in multiple competitions, but still able to consistently winning almost every game in serie a. So it sounds impossible Milan to surpass them, though the gap is only 5 points assuming Milan wins against Como. Hopefully, Milan fail to capitalize full points from Como, then it's still remain 8 points gap.
