Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[m4r1o]

I'm sure Milan won't let this opportunity to close the gap on Inter slip away. Losing would mean handing the Scudetto to Inter. So, by hook or by crook, Milan will definitely win tonight.
The score is currently 0-0, but we're still only in the 26th minute.
I bet the result will end up 1-0.

That's 7 points Inter have 61 points and Milan 54, as Milan with Como have been slowed down.
They could have won it and come closer to Inter, but Como shows as always that they are stubborn and aggressive without backing down.
After conceding the equaliser the game stagnated, Milan were really in danger of losing anyway.

Success of Cristian Chivu and Michael Carrick shows that planning smartness and on pitch knowledge is more useful than long term coaching history in many cases.
Although haters are viewing these young managers as just learners who are new, studies done showed that they are doing better than experts. Chivu has Inter Milan leading in Serie A and Carrick has just turned around Manchester United beating other rivals such as Manchester City and Arsenal.
Personally, I think that rule of past experience is false idea since you cannot get experience before being given job.
These past global stars have already served decades of top football in shop and it has been shown that knowledge of game is much much better teacher than years on sidelines can be.

Intelligent planning certainly allows you to achieve a lot, perhaps better than having star players.
If you also have a quality staff then you're practically fine, i would say.
I like this, the more competent people who coach, the more chances we will have to see good matches.

I will be very happy if como can occupy the fifth place in the table. Como's performance is very surprising to us. The team is not  very strong. Even then, they have been able  to keep their performance stable. Especially against the big teams, the team is performing exceptionally well. In the last match, como was able to share points with AC milan. Juventus is now only 4 points behind como. This is not a big gap. If Juventus cannot maintain their performance, then they will lose the fifth place in the table. Como  will definitely try their best to qualify for the Europa League.

IDK if you have checked the match schedule for matchday #26, because on that matchday Como & Juventus will meet. Como isn't favored by the away match they will play.

We can also see how bookies favor Juventus with the odds offered on 1X2 bets, with all these conditions, I think it's difficult for Como to go to 5th place in the standings, they have big challenge. As good as they're, it's not enough to prove that they deserve to be compared to the other Serie A giants.

* Sassuolo - Hellas Verona => Sassuolo
 * Lecce - Inter Milan => Inter Milan
 * AC Milan - Parma => AC Milan
 * AS Roma - Cremonese => AS Roma

Let's try with this poker of matches, I think they're doable except perhaps the Sassuolo one which I included to raise the stakes a little.

Interesting! With a total of x5 to be had if all teams succeed, but as Sassuolo is a bit iffy, I think choosing 1x2 is a bit risky, my idea is to consider Under 3.5 or over 1.25 with average odds of less than 1.5 to accompany or combine it with the other 3 selections, this means the odds are around @4. Not bad in my opinion and the success rate if the bet is indeed a parlay is quite high.

Oh well, thanks for sharing this idea for this week.

Im really impresed by Christain Chivu performance as the head coach of Inter, when he took the charge and the team was not so good i feel like the Inter made a huge mistake and maybe lost a season for trying with him, but right now i have to admit i was mistaken, Inter is solid on SerieA and is doing a decent job on UCL.

Christain Chivu has been very lucky and in fact in Serie A without finding a worthy opponent they managed to dominate the championship, but then the situation changes when they have to go and play in the Champions League they find themselves making a not exactly noteworthy figure, but everyone knows this and in fact they must realise that they cannot always do as they want because then they risk making mistakes.

I agree that the match with Sassuolo raises some doubts, I think Verona’s motivation will be slightly higher, because they need points to get out of the relegation zone. There are also question marks around Inter’s match, I believe Chivu might rotate the squad and give some players rest ahead of the decisive second leg against Bodø/Glimt in the Champions League, that game will be crucial for them. As for wins for Milan and Roma, I agree with you there.

A really disappointing result by Milan it was... I can't say their performance was good either. Even in the second half 4 shots is just unbelievably bad. They need to produce many more than this normally.

The squad is really not good enough to compete Inter for the championship in normal conditions. They will hope no other thing than Inter to start a bad form as of now. Otherwise a comfortable title is on the way for Chivu's team.

Bookmakers predictions are based on the two teams' last meeting, so it's understandable that they're heavily favoring Juventus especially when they're playing at home. But make no mistake Como is in good form this season having just held Milan to a draw. They'll certainly have the same motivation when facing Juventus, especially since Juventus just suffered a painful defeat in the Champions League play-offs. So I think that will have a significant impact on their performance in this match.

Juventus faces this match under intense pressure to return to winning ways while Juventus is also facing several injury issues forcing Spalletti to reorganize their formation. Como himself comes to Juventus determined to exploit Juventus currently shaky defense. Both teams have equal chances in this match especially as they are vying for fourth place, so this match is predicted to be tight and intense.

It won't be an easy title for Cristian Chivu. A seven-point lead over Milan is not enough to sleep soundly, and the Scudetto will most likely be decided on 8 March when the Derby della Madonnina takes place. If Inter wins this derby, it will most likely be the victory that secures the Scudetto for them.

[Volgastallion]

We has to have a serius talk guys about this SerieA and their teams..... i mean if they keep losing in european competitions SerieA is gonna be in danger of losing more places for futures season, i dont check the actual ELO in the UEFA site but this is not helping a lot for sure, Juventus and Inter losing in this stage is patetic for a league this big, they really need to talk with their teams.

In Serie A, Christian Chivu has shown a much better direction for Inter Milan so that they are currently leading the standings and the potential to reach the championship is very large considering that there is a point difference from Milan who are in second place. The draw that Milan got against Como also provides the best opportunity for Inter Milan regarding the competition for the title because currently there is a quite significant difference in points. In the Champions League, Inter Milan's performance was not very consistent because the competition there was much tougher than the competition in Serie A itself.

Como's performances are remarkable, and all lead to the conclusion that this is a team that can also qualify for the Champions League. If i think about it, it could even do better than the teams that are already in the Champions League. Considering the results achieved by Inter, Juventus and Atalanta, this is certainly a clear sign that Como is no longer a small provincial team but a solid reality.

Inter are now in an even bigger advantage compared to Milan and Napoli. It's really hard to see them dropping a 7 point lead, and especially an 11 point gap over Napoli. But in football, anything can happen ,  we've seen crazier things.Milan played a really poor game. I can't say Como are a weak side , on the contrary, they're a very solid team , but Milan simply had to take points here to stay in the title race with Inter. With this loss, they've made their path a lot more complicated

7 Points advantage is felt, they are unlikely to give ground to Milan, also because of them Milan is not that they are playing great games.
The draw with Como slowed the possibility of closing the gap on Inter.
It's unthinkable to me that Milan could manage to catch up with Inter in any way, especially since if they play like this they risk even dropping in position.

Milan missed a chance to pick up three points at home against Como to close the gap on Inter. Milan's title challenge is now extremely difficult, as they trail Inter by seven points. With 13 matches remaining, it's difficult for Milan to expect Inter to drop many points, especially given their strong form. Therefore, if Inter can maintain their form, the title will be theirs.

Milan could actually be considered lucky to have earned a point in this match. They were fortunate playing at home, which is perhaps why they managed to secure a point. Como took the lead but couldn't hold onto it, but their magnificent performance showed just how well they can play against Milan. Fabregas motivates his players very well against big teams. There was no sign of fear in their play, and they played very bravely against Milan. Many players from Como could transfer to big European clubs this year.

Agree ,,, Como has the ability to qualify for the Champions League. Because they are quite confident and have been able to perform well against big teams. If Como can continue such a performance, then they have the possibility of making it to the top 4 of the table. Roma and Juventus are in the fourth and fifth places of the table. There is no doubt that these two teams are also quite strong. But even then their overall performance is irregular. Juventus' performance is irregular, on the other hand Roma's attack is relatively weak.

[tygeade]

Como is now a top Serie A team to be taken seriously, and I won’t go overboard in predicting because the season's journey is still very long and I think anything is still possible, and of course the competition at the top remains fierce without anyone being underestimated. 

It's true, as you said, that Juventus is slightly more favored because they are playing at home, but as I mentioned earlier, Como cannot be underestimated, and whatever the result of this match later will not have a significant impact, the competition at the top of the standings will continue.

I am sure getting a tie with Milan definitely helped them because it was a tough game where people expected Como to lose. However, we have to be careful because it is not going to be easy and we are going to end up with a lot of trouble without a doubt. For that reason we should be considering Como as "just below the greats" level, they are not as big as the top name teams, but they are getting there and close.

Atalanta used to be like that, now not so much anymore, and Como is right around that level, if they can manage to get better for the next few seasons then there is a chance that they could be considered better. I think it will take a few years though, like being top four isn't easy and consistently doing that is even harder.

Milan were a bit lucky, it cannot be denied. It was milan's home match. But the  match was dominated by como's players. Como's players were able to attack much more than milan. Milan had a total of 5 shots, but only four were on target. Como proved their ability. The players were confident even against big teams. And that is  why they were able to perform well. They have the full  potential to be in the top  5 of the table. If they can keep up this performance , como will be in the top  5 of the table.

[jakdanyel]

Considering the results achieved by Inter, Juventus and Atalanta, this is certainly a clear sign that Como is no longer a small provincial team but a solid reality.

The gap between the 4th place and Como is 5 points now. There are 2 obstacles ahead like Roma and Juventus... I'm still quite doubtful about their Champions League chances honestly.

It isn't easy to finish ahead of those 2 teams both for Como. I can't say they are more consistent than them recently in the first place.

They couldn't get a win in their last 3 matches for example. Similar to their recent forms.

Como can definitely do much better, I am just sorry that Nico Paz is going to Real Madrid or at least that's what i read..
This player is really very strong and makes some crazy plays, but i can say that they will surely find another one who is able to replace him, seeing a team of this caliber get so far gives us hope.

[barbara44]

I sure do hope for Inters sake that they do not lose to Bodo at the next game and keep playing in UCL, but if they could somehow manage to end up making some profit, then I would say that it is very hard to see these type of things being a common thing.

I think Inter losing would be bad for them but also bad for the league and other teams. Other teams have just a single small chance, like Milan "may" win, but that only ties to Inter playing in the UCL and getting tired there, if they are losing, then they will focus all their power to winning the league.
