Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[jakdanyel]

Conte basically tired the players out so much that most of them are injured now and that is the reason why they are not doing that great. While I would understand situations where they are not doing that great because of simple reasons, but not doing that great because the coach is tiring the team out all the way to injury is something Conte had trouble with all the time.

He always gets great results on first seasons and then does badly afterwards and then builds a depth squad who will do better later on if you can sustain and keep him going. This season may not be great for Napoli, but I bet you that next season they are going to have a bigger depth on the bench and that way they are going to actually do better.

A really great result by Como there! I wasn't expecting it to be easy because of being the away side. But I was still giving them a chance because Napoli's bad look.

They really did it... Through penalties maybe but it doesn't matter. They just pushed a big team out of the cup in the quarter finals already.

By the way a really bad comeback by Lukaku.    He missed a penalty during shootouts this time.

This match week is going to start with a Pisa - Milan match tomorrow. This is technically a very easy one for Milan, right? You would just expect them to get a comfortable victory.

However their previous match didn't say so. Milan barely saved a 2-2 draw at San Siro by an equalizer in the stoppage time. This doesn't mean it will happen again but they had better not underrate them. 1.52 looks nice to try Milan to win...

It was an unexpected result for Milan in their last meeting, Milan was the home but somehow they lost control of the game and had fight to fight to settle for a draw. I believe they would be so disappointed in themselves for not picking 3 points against Pisa in their home so this time around they wouldn't want to the same mistake again and would do anything Possible to get all points. Pisa is currently struggling and they currently sit at the bottom of the standings in the relegation zone but they have an advantage in this game being the home team so i believe this game can be difficult for Milan. It's not impossible for Milan to win but if they want a win they will have to take the game seriously because Pisa won't go easy.

The odds look tempting but I would go for another option and not Milan to win.

and Como was very fortunate to win. Fabregas looked very enthusiastic because his team managed to beat the team that won Serie A last season.

This is not about Como being lucky to beat Napoli. They really played well and showed strong mentality. Since getting promoted to Serie A last season, Como have shown several times that they can compete with bigger teams, holding them to draws and even beating them. Praise should go to Fabregas as well. He has done a great job bringing more discipline to the squad and improving the players’ mentality so they step onto the pitch with confidence in every match. But honestly, that defeat was a bit embarrassing for Napoli.

I've been thinking since yesterday about whether it's worth the risk of putting Milan on my parlay. Besides everything you said, Pisa recently scored 2 goals against Inter in a game where Inter managed to score 6 goals. I don't see Milan as having great attacking ability.

Pisa at home isn't a big problem, although they did cause problems for Atalanta, but Milan is inconsistent in attack. Sometimes they score many goals but then only manage to score 1. I'll think more about whether to put Milan on my parlay.

Fabregas has built a team with a winning mentality, Como seems to have a realistic chance of reaching the Italian Cup final. We know they will face Inter Milan in the semifinals, but it is not impossible that luck will be on their side again. The win over Napoli confirmed their ambition for success, and I see Fabregas really wanting to make it happen. Fabregas has now become a young manager to be reckoned with, and with Como consistent performance, it seems that in the future there will be many offers from big clubs for him. Meanwhile, Napoli performance is slowly starting to decline, I think Conte is having difficulty with the injuries suffered by some of his key players.

Don’t forget that Napoli has players who haven’t fully recovered from injuries and aren’t available: David Neres, KDB, Zambo Anguissa, and others. We also have Lukaku, who is coming off a long injury and needs to adapt. Again, i say, praise to Como,they really are a great team with Fabregas, and this season is crucial for them. If they make it to europe, they could bring in even more good signings

Milan need to be careful, because when facing the weaker team, Milan often showing bad performance. Of course not allatch like that, but if Pisa success to scored goal first, I think Milan will be under pressure. hopefully I'm wrong at this time.

injuries to several players have weakened Napoli's strength and they are currently experiencing an unstable situation because the substitutes are not capable of fulfilling the duties of some of the injured players. The loss to Como wasn't surprising as Fabregas's team was on a positive run, so Napoli's result was understandable. The goal of qualifying for Europe will push Como's players to work even harder and if they succeed, they will be able to bring in many good players next season because the team has to prepare the players much better than now to compete.

The other Coppa Italia semifinalist was also decided on penalties. The Bologna vs. Lazio match ended 1-1 in regular time and Lazio won the shootout 4-1 to become the other team to advance to the semifinals.

The semifinal matchups have also been confirmed.

Inter Milan vs. Como

Lazio vs. Atalanta

My prediction is that Inter Milan and Atalanta will face each other in the final.

Inter surely qualify for the final of Coppa italia. They're miles better than Como. So i have big expectation to see them beat Como during the full time game^{(no pen)}. They can lose only if Como is gonna be lucky enough. I think a direct bet for inter is guarantee us to win with how they always dominated in every game against Como. From three games they faced como, they never lose and they always get big win.

As for Atalanta, i feel doubt Atalanta can make it to final. Their statistic against Lazio has never been easy. From the last 5 games, they only recorded 1 win, 2 lose, 2 Draw against Lazio. They have no lookman at their side. So i think it's still remain 50:50, but i may be slightly favor Lazio to go to the final.
I think the ideal final will be Inter vs Lazio, not Atalanta. This is based the statistic.

[barbara44]

I'm not too certain about who's going to make it through between Lazio and Atalanta, but based on their current form, I think Atalanta should. But again, anything can happen.

About the Inter Milan and Como feature, Inter Milan is the favorite on paper to progress to the final. However, if Como should cause an upset by beating Inter, I think they will go on to lift the trophy.

25th round is having too many big games with nothing is easy to predict about the outcome. Inter Milan will be hosting Juventus while Napoli is going to face Roma which is also interesting game. Como will be hosting Fiorentina, this could be easy win for high-flying Como.

Lazio challenging Atlanta which is now on good run while this match is not easy to predict still Atlanta is having better chance due to their good performance in last few games, things are looking on good side for them, they are improving after worst start of their season and still have good chance for staying in for UEFA competitions.

Most chances host clubs are going to be winner but due to workload and poor run of few clubs, this could be good game changer for few clubs which have fair chance of staying into top ranks.

Fabregas doing wonders with the Como team and gradually writing their name on the wall streets with the great performances they’ve been pulling off lately. The was a quarterfinal and alot of fans were really thinking Napoli got this match covered with their win against Como but we later realized Como was not going to let it slide with the penalty shootouts which brought the match to an end with Como taking the lead of 7 goals over the 6 goals scored during the penalty kicks by both club leading Como to succeed and head to the semi finals.

Como success is inseparable from Fabregas cool touch, his success in bringing Como to 6th place in Serie A and qualifying for the Coppa Italia semifinals has further strengthened his reputation as one of the most promising young coaches in Europe. So far he has done a great job, now Como has made history after reaching the Coppa Italia semi-finals for the first time since 1986.
No matter how that success was achieved, now Como under Fabregas have become a new force to be reckoned with in Italy. I hope he stays with Como for the next few seasons to make history, just like Alonso did when he was in charge of Leverkusen.

Fabregas is really doing a fantastic job with Como football club and I believe his replicating the tactical system which he learned while as a player in Barcelona under Pep Gadiola back years. If he continues like this, then it's just a matter of time and all this big football clubs will began to call for his managerial service, even if former club FC Barcelona wouldn't be in frontline seeking for his service.

[len01]

Today will be an exciting match between Pisa vs Milan. So, will this match end in a surprise?

In the previous H2H, when Milan hosted, Pisa managed to hold the match to a draw, despite seemingly getting lucky with a penalty kick. However, Pisa shouldn't be underestimated, even though they appear to be a weak team, but playing at home offers something different.

For now, I can't see the best betting option, but I'm a little interested in BTTS (Yes) with odds @2.02.

Share your thoughts on this match prediction.

If he continues like this, then it's just a matter of time and all this big football clubs will began to call for his managerial service, even if former club FC Barcelona wouldn't be in frontline seeking for his service.

And I really agree with what you said which is the style of play applied by Fabregas like following the footsteps of coach Facregas when he was still active as a football player and for me it is very natural for Fabregas to follow the pattern that he may have learned either when he was still a player or now who has become a coach in one of the teams that is shining in his hands so that in the next few years it is not impossible that Fabregas will be many who want him to coach another team and currently he has been contacted by several other team managements to approach Fabregas so currently Fabregas is still not thinking about accepting an invitation from another team to become a coach because Fabregas feels comfortable currently coaching a promoted team even though it is a promoted team status but the improvement is quite significant which makes him increasingly comfortable being in Serie-A and if anything happens in the future it is absolutely the decision is in his own hands Fabregas.

It was a big embarrassment, not a small one, because if a team that was promoted to Serie A last season can defeat them in a match, does that embarrassment sound small? If they had even beaten them on the pitch and not on penalties, I would have suggested Napoli leave the league because the embarrassment would have been unbearable.

Although we all know Como will be able to do more, all they need is more time. Fàbregas really did well at Como because he is the one who made them this strong in every game.

AC Milan are competing  for the title. But it is still a very difficult task for them to occupy the top spot  of the table. Firstly, they are behind by 8  points. However, if they can win against Pisa , they will be behind by 5  points. Secondly , their performance is not consistent.

Inter milan is still in better form compared to AC milan. So if AC milan cannot play well consistently , then they have no chance of occupying the top spot of the table. If they want to win the title, Milan must give full effort  and continue the winning streak.

[verdinio]

Como has shown character due to their team structure and starting practically from the bottom.
The match against Atalanta was boring but ended in a draw, against Napoli it made a team that was clearly superior structurally speaking suffer.
David versus Goliath is amazing how with commitment and of course a modicum of will you can achieve great results.

Como is truly a great team that is having a great championship to be in Serie A for the first time, David versus Goliath is an excellent metaphor that gives a good idea of everything, this is what represents Italian excellence, i really hope they manage to get to the Champions League, because they deserve it.

Of course they are competing for the title, but Milan for me unable to take advantage with current position. Milan not competing in other competition such as european competition, even in local, they are eliminated from Coppa Italia. Milan should be able to take advantage from this, but so far its not perform as expected. Pisa and another weaker team can be a problem for AC Milan, while Inter Milan wouldn't make a lot of mistake to give their position to their bro. But, Inter will do anything to keep their position till end of the season, and they are more have that chance than AC Milan.

Milan have a really difficult work to do. Rather than Pisa, they actually need to win their missing game against Como to make that gap 3 points closer in equal conditions.

However there is a chance for Milan to get even closer this week... It depends on what Inter will do in a tough game against Juventus tomorrow.  

It never goes easy for Inter even at home. Chivu is also not very reliable in big games but let's see how it goes this time.
