Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Creeper0]

In the end, the match ended in a draw with a total of 4 goals scored, I am quite satisfied with the result because it was what i expected from both teams.
Napoli managed to equalize the score in the first half but in the second half, Roma struck back. However, napoli once again equalized the score in the end. A draw was indeed a fair outcome for the match. Both teams played with their best strategies, which I think were equally good. Although, some weaknesses were still evident from both sides. From this match, I think Roma showed that they can still improve. Meanwhile, Napoli showed that their strength is still reliable.

I was especially surprised by Roma's performance. In the away match against Napoli, I thought Roma would lose and Napoli would get an easy win. But Roma finished the match with a draw with a great performance. Even Roma's counter-attacking strategy was suitable for the match as proven by the result. Roma is still improving and they still have a lot of room for improvement. However, I don't think it was a good result for Napoli, they should have won this match.

I tried to analyze this fixture for the potentials to gamble on it and frankly couldn?t get anything concrete on them. The head to heads showed very little in goals and a team that have had some real back on forth in their play. It clearly wasn?t worth taking the risk because, both sides are good and they showed that in their fixtures today. With AS Roma taking the lead way too early in the game only to have Napoli come right back with an equalizer just before the half time. The penalty conceded gave them up in the second half and yet again, Napoli equalized to end the game in a draw. Not a bad outcome for a game like this, both played well and deserved to share points.

I bet on Roma because i thought they would have the upper hand against Napoli but they didn't manage to win, i also think it was due to a bit of bad luck, obviously when you throw in bad luck anything can happen, this is something that can also lead to a defeat in fact for a certain period of the match there was even the worst

It was nice goal duel even though the goal expectation from Napoli was even 0.56 in the whole match.    They should be thankful for being able to score 2 goals with that poor level of effort.

Roma deserved a win here with their offense strength. But this wasn't one of their matches in which they do a strong defending. Napoli aren't even near the championship race in the league anymore. They are out of the Coppa Italia as well. What a terrible season!

Base on the starting of the game, I thought that Napoli will going to lose in their home, because their opponent develop more strength than Napoli which is what pushed them to first Napoli to secured goals. What I notice from the game is that Napoli wake up from the second half to withstand their opponent but there was no time for them to add more goals to win the game after they have equalized the goals which is what made the game to turned out to be draw 2:2.

I noticed something strange from Napoli in this season, their performance has dropped down which is the reason they are losing against their opponent some time to allow inter Milan and AC Milan to top them in this Italian league table, and it will cause them not to lift this trophy.

Napoli vs AS Roma match is very exciting right now. There are only a few minutes left, and in the 82nd minute Napoli made it 2–2 with a goal from Alisson Santos.

Napoli have been the more dominant side in the match, but they’ve struggled to convert their chances.

For Napoli, this game is now mainly about league positioning, as they fell out of the title race quite some time ago. At this point, they are just trying to protect their place in the standings.

Let’s see whether the match will end like this or if we’ll witness another late goal.

Defending Champions Napoli was better side in this match, but both time AS Roma takes lead and then conceded goal from Napoli, with this draw now Napoli is almost out of title race while Roma is having 4th spot, they are doing good job and have enough chance of jumping to 3rd spot as well.

Napoli's injuries issues bring them down, but now they need to be having some improvement because if they are not able to have things on good run, they can lose their chances for having 3rd spot as well because now Roma and Juventus both are doing good job for having Champions league spot and Gasperini magic working at Roma, and they are keeping things on good level.

I believe many people bet on Roma's victory against Napoli because, given Napoli's recent disappointing results, a Roma win was expected, and that victory seemed imminent. However, Napoli player Santos scored on his debut, saving the team from an almost certain defeat.

My prediction  was that the match would be a draw. The roma team may not be as strong as napoli , but they are very tactical. My prediction was that the match would end in a goalless or 1-1 draw. But the surprising thing is that Roma managed to  score two goals in the match. Scoring two goals against napoli was not easy. Roma managed to take the lead twice in the match, but they were not able to win until the end. Considering the home match, napoli should have  performed  better. The team's performance has now become quite  erratic. Can Napoli qualify for the champions league ?

Everyone have their right in making their own decision if not how could you have hope for Roma against Napoli, it is normal to bet on Roma but I think this wasn't the best time because they went for an away match against Napoli, and if you could check clearly Napoli is ahead of them on the table and with the look of things they did very well but Napoli did so much to defend themselves at home. To my own analysis the draw is best in that match because both teams perform excellently.

In the areas where I was born there is a saying, chi e' causa del suo male, pianga se stesso -> he who causes his own misfortune, should cry for himself.

They themselves caused the problem by taking Antonio Conte, now unfortunately there is a price to pay, nothing comes for free..

It's a shame for Juventus. I'd say the referee's decision to send Kalulu off too easily was the biggest reason Juventus lost the match.
If Kalulu hadn't received a red card, it would have been difficult for Juventus to lose to Inter.
It was a very enjoyable and exciting match. The excitement increased especially in the last 20 minutes. Juventus equalized at 2-2 but couldn't withstand Inter's pressure. Zielinski scored the goal that determined the final score in the 90th minute.
With this defeat, Juventus' chances of winning the championship this season are now dependent on miracles.

Shots of Inter Milan matter a lot in match and we saw match in the side of Inter Milan football team because they showed good skills in this match and did great effort in this match. The shots of Inter Milan football team were more in this match and these were 20 in this game and 6 shots were on target and possession percentage of that team was 59 percent in this match as they tried to have ball for more time . The passes of that team were more in this match which were 602 in this match and opponent team shots were only 9 in this match and 8 shots were on target and possession percentage of that team was 41 percent in this match and passes of that team were low in this match.

Inter Milan created a lot of chances. They kept attacking  from the start of the match and tried to score goals. On the other hand, juventus were tactical. They tried to find the weaknesses in inter milan's defense. Although they  attacked relatively few times, each of their  attacks was very sharp.

If Kalulu had not  received a red card, juventus could have performed better in the second half. It is difficult to fight against a giant team like Inter Milan with 10  players. Even then, juventus tried their best. But in the 90th minute of the match , they conceded a goal. This tells me that Juventus was unlucky.

Roma almost won that match. At least Roma scored the first goal of the game and forced Napoli to work hard to equalize and then turn the game around. But Roma also deserves credit for fighting well even though they only got a draw.

However, I think Roma will continue to develop and become even stronger. But in matches against strong teams, I prefer to avoid favoring Roma. Because Roma is still not entirely consistent.

Napoli's injuries issues bring them down, but now they need to be having some improvement because if they are not able to have things on good run, they can lose their chances for having 3rd spot as well because now Roma and Juventus both are doing good job for having Champions league spot and Gasperini magic working at Roma, and they are keeping things on good level.

Injuries are one of most teams biggest nightmare, they do not pray for it because it is capable denying them a whole seasons achievement which for every team they do not want, if it were possible every team wishes to stay optimal throughout the season because they know how much they can achieve staying that Informed throughout the season. Napoli has be struggling with injuries and that too has affected their performance and productivity but then again, they had chance to get players incase situations as this comes up but I think they did not utilise it so I may blame them for that which they are suffering now.

A draw after all against Napoli is not a bad result in my opinion. Roma took the lead twice in that match but failed to maintain it while Napoli was dominating the game..
Roma improved a lot comparing to the previous years but they still need to improve their squad and the way they are playing.
Roma will have from now on a hard game every two games on average. They have to prove themselves otherwise they will be lose their position.

Cagliari had been doing well in recent weeks. They had won 3 games in a row. The defeat away to Roma wasn't unusual. But they needed to beat a team like Lecce at home. I didn't understand why Pisacane played a 5-4-1 formation. Leaving Semih on the bench was a big mistake. He played with Pavoletti as the only striker while he was playing with no goals in 10 games. I think this was a huge mistake. Esposito and Semih should have played as a two-striker formation. He paid the price for this mistake with a defeat.

The plan for Cagliari didn't work as the manager wanted but still they host side was terrible and all they could do was defend even as they were losing, the defense wasn't even good to stop Lecce when they attack, the visitors who are not in a better position on the log played more better like a team fighting for maybe the top 4. For some time now I haven't seen Cagliari play an attacking football instead when they get a goal they relax and allow their opponents to pressure them, looking at their captain Mina he doesn't look like a player who's too fit for the game tonight, in that case he should take some time off before coming back because he exhausted or better still they need to replace him.

With the way Inter is going, I really doubt that they are going to lose out on the title this year, last year was already not so great and last minute with a small margin loss for them, so they do not want the same and they can focus on the league this season. I really did not expect the manager change to be this good for them, Chivu didn't look like someone who would make that much of a change for anyone and for that reason I think it's clear that we are shocked to see Chivu being this good.

I thought it was a desperation move by them, in fact when he first took over I assumed he was just interim and will manage for a few games and then they will agree to get someone better, and yet dude proved me wrong and they are doing great.

Cagliari’s performance last night was really poor...Pisacane was playing at home and he decides to use this formation! His formation this season I find it somehow unusual but I think his 3-5-2 formation is the best which  he used it to win Verona four goals to none.

They suffers a crushing defeat, Lecce won two goals to none against them and they didn’t even have a single shot on target throughout the game. The score could have even be higher if not for the two saves from their goalkeeper, that was a very bad performance..

However, I don't think it was a good result for Napoli, they should have won this match.

I liked the performance of Roma in this match, it is the kind of performance a club needs to become greater than what they are at this stage. Roma was able to hold Napoli very tightly. Roma was always leading with the scores from the beginning of the game. They scored the first goal before Napoli did an equalizer then they scored the second goal again before Napoli re-equalized again. If they had won this match, it would have been a serious threat on Napoli because they might have been out of the first 3 clubs in the league to finish but it is still not late yet because these guys still have about thirteen games to play and each of these thirteen games will tell to an extent their chances of surviving or not.

[bitgolden]

Roma and Napoli getting a tie didn't really help either but also because Juventus lost, it didn't hurt them neither. Juventus dropped 5 points in the last 2 games and that is not good for a team who wants to be in the top four, right now they are close but they could have been much more ahead than chasing if they won.

If Juventus won, they would have bee 49 points and not only fourth place but even would be close to third place as well and instead now they are at 46 and behind, so Roma and Napoli both are probably quite happy with their situation at hand.

Napoli's injuries issues bring them down, but now they need to be having some improvement because if they are not able to have things on good run, they can lose their chances for having 3rd spot as well because now Roma and Juventus both are doing good job for having Champions league spot and Gasperini magic working at Roma, and they are keeping things on good level.

You're not entirely wrong, Napoli is probably out of the race for the Scudetto, maybe not mathematically but certainly psychologically.
I'm sorry, even if i don't support any team, in the end seeing the reigning champions fall like this is always a shame.
