Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[TopT3ns]

Juventus are in a free fall these days. They couldn't get a win in their last 5 official games in all tournaments. 4 of them ended up with a loss including the one against Como today.

When you look at the stats you see a good balance. Except the quality of shots though...    Como scored 2 goals from 1.41 xG while Juventus got 0 with 0.70 xG. Goal expectation isn't everything but tells one how things went in summary.

Como even won without Paz. Now they will hope for Roma to lose points too to get closer to top 4.

Juventus collapses in real time. They are 95% eliminated from the Champions League and are now outsiders in the fight for the top 4. Even if Roma lose their game, they are still one point ahead, plus Como is 1 point behind Juventus. On the one hand it's sad, on the other hand there's always one of the big four that fails and it's nice to see other clubs getting a chance, I think Como deserves theirs.
I'll also be interested in the outcome of the Fiorentina-Pisa game, a death match between relegation battlers.

The failure of Juventus to collect an important point gives a fresh breath of air to Como which are still firmly in the top tier of the table. The fierce rivalry between Fiorentina and Pisa shows that they are still struggling to get out of the relegation zone that looms. We had experienced the uncommon phenomenon where the supremacy of an old club started to shake under the foundation of a competitor club. They played so on the attack that their play also contributed to the excitement of the field with its turns and twists.

this year's squad might be the worst Juventus side in history. i don't even want to talk much about the match for that reason. all i’ll say is they need to fire that keeper. This guy Di Gregorio is a total sieve. he’s not the only problem but he’s the biggest one in my opinion.
Aside from that like I said the kits are legendary i love them.  

My assessment of Juventus is completely numb. I mean, I personally am confused about how to evaluate this team. Because this is not the first season that Juventus has repeated several mistakes and failed in Serie A. In previous seasons, even more than three seasons, we have seen this team appear to be unstable. They are sometimes good in one game but poor in another.

However, the loss to Como doesn't surprise me too much. It's not just Juventus that has struggled against Como. Other big teams have faced the same challenges.

Yeah with its current structure and style of play Como is a team capable of performing well in many European leagues they are undoubtedly one of the flash teams of the season. it’s not accurate to view them simply as a side promoted from the second division to Serie A. However this doesn’t change the fact that Juventus played poorly at home...

[Unsoldier]

I don’t understand what has happened to Juventus. Their recent matches have turned into a total nightmare for the defense. According to the stats, they’ve conceded 15 goals in their last five games:

Atalanta — 0:3
Lazio — 2:2
Inter — 2:3
Galatasaray — 2:5
Como — 0:2

Just a few rounds ago, they were title contenders, but now they need to focus on how to avoid falling out of the Champions League spots.

[asriloni]

It's an expected result for Juventus. I totally aware how they have been so awful since they got thrashed by Galatasaray. The way they play remind me with a low tier team with no spirit to win. No collectivity, no team working, no effort to score.

The lose against Como obviously telling us they're regressed even harder than when they fought Galatasaray. So, how can they score 3 goals combined with cleansheet against Galatasaray if they can't win against Como?

So they can only hope a miracle to turn it around, but i'm thinking their probability is obviously less than 0.1% to make it happen with this kind of performance.

It's obvious no more UCL game and UCL spot for next season. It's also preventing them from re-assembling their squad due to lack of money.

[DiMarxist]

This Como team is turning out to be something else this season because they keep putting up the right results, Como almost defeated Milan in their midweek game away from home. I expected that Juventus will win this game going by their poor performance in the champions League were they were hammered by Galatasary losing at home is not a good result maybe I suspect that Juventus is resting some players for the return leg of the champions League that is why they play this way.

[m4r1o]

I don't see any challenging fixture for either Inter or Milan in this round. The gap is highly likely to stay at 7 points by the end of it. By the way putting both of their wins into a 2-leg multi also sounds nice!

1.48 for Inter (which I found higher than I expected) and 1.34 for Milan. It gives us 1.98 odds in total... Roma to beat Cremonese is at 1.38 and it can also be added actually which would bring us 2.74 total odds.

Milan could win against Parma, i don't think there is anything difficult for them, even for me the gap will remain at 7 points even if after Juventus' defeat i can expect anything and anything can happen because that defeat made me remain quite perplexed about this Serie A

[Hypnotizer]

Everything you said earlier actually happened today, and yeah, Como has truly become a giant killer against the big, popular teams in serie A. This repeated defeat is really embarrassing for Juventus as one of the most popular teams in Serie A, especially losing heavily in both meetings this season. Even when Como used different formations, they were still able to beat Juventus. This clearly shows that Juventus has seriously lost its consistency, and if this keeps happening, their chances of chasing a top 4 spot will become very difficult.

I also want to give praise to Fabregas as Como’s coach, because he really knows how to identify and exploit the weaknesses of other big teams.

An impressive performance from Como…they’d won and surprisingly they won by repeating the same scoresheet as their last game against Juventus, two goals to none!

It’s really embarrassing for Juventus, they didn’t even atleast score a single goal and they conceded not one but two! I wouldn’t be surprised if Como actually snatch the fifth spot from Juventus and possibly from Roma also to qualify for the Champions League next season.

Fabregas is really doing great things at Como and he deserves applause..

Juve have really hit a hard downward spiral with their recent performances, and today, with the loss against Champions League spot contenders Como, I’m afraid their dream of playing in the Champions League next year is over. Just a month and a half ago, it looked like they were on the rise and playing well. I watched a couple of their games, and they looked refreshed. I don’t know what happened.

This Como team are now no doubt one of the top teams in Italy because they have shown it all the time and most especially almost the big top clubs in the serie A have found it really really difficult to even find a win against them. It would be really nice seeing them qualify for European football even if it's the Europa league so we can see how they can actually match up against some of the Europe elite teams especially if they can get a slot in the champions league, it would really make a statement for cesc fabregas and his team.

Como is impressive this season, that's true so far. My problem with similar teams is their consistency. We cannot count on them to stay on top for more than a season or two then it will not be weird to see them relegating soon after since most of their good players will be sold for money. Hopefully Como will stay solid for long time.
Inter Milan in the other hand is keeping a good rythme at the opposite of Juventus.

[Catenaccio]

Just a month and a half ago, it looked like they were on the rise and playing well. I watched a couple of their games, and they looked refreshed. I don’t know what happened.

Juventus lost 0 - 2 to Como and they will have more pressure from Como in coming matches with risk of losing a 5th position to Como. They also have to hope that AS Roma will lose points when playing with Cremonese which has very low chance for happening. If AS Roma beat Cremonese, they will create four points more than Juventus and get very good advantage when Serie A after this week will have only 12 more matches.

Spaletti replaced Tudor and made some good improvements for Juventus but when the season goes to its last weeks, it seems everything begin to slide out of Spaletti control and Juventus will possibly not finish this season in top four.

This Como team are now no doubt one of the top teams in Italy because they have shown it all the time and most especially almost the big top clubs in the serie A have found it really really difficult to even find a win against them. It would be really nice seeing them qualify for European football even if it's the Europa league so we can see how they can actually match up against some of the Europe elite teams especially if they can get a slot in the champions league, it would really make a statement for cesc fabregas and his team.

Como truly made a big shock today by beating Juventus in Turin and proved that the draw with AC Milan days ago is not from luckiness but actually from their high quality and competitiveness. With this win, Como rescued their chance for racing to top four with Juventus and AS Roma but they still have to wait for result from AS Roma match with Cremonese. Anyway they can be proud of what they did not only in this match with Juventus but also in all matches in this season so far, very impressive.

[MK-74]

Juventus continue to lose. They were beaten 2–0 at home by Como 1907.

Next week, they will host Galatasaray, but they will most likely be eliminated from the Champions League because they need to win by at least a four goal margin.

Inter Milan won 2–0 away against Lecce and are moving steadily toward the title without dropping points.

Cagliari vs Lazio match is currently 0–0 with 20 minutes left. Let’s see if we’ll get a goal before the final whistle.

[l99l]

Juventus are having problems in the Champions League and the league, suffering consecutive defeats even some players are now rebelling.
In the match against Como, the ball possession rates were almost equal. Juventus had a low total number of shots, which is precisely their problem they are very poor in attack, lacking a good attacking player.
Even though they created good opportunities, they couldn't capitalize on them. Como, on the other hand, made much better use of their chances, scoring two goals and securing three points.

These kinds of things are not surprising in Serie A especially for Juventus which is not a consistent team, regarding defense yeah it's still normal compared to other teams who conceded an average of 19-25 goals in 26 matches. On the other hand we are aware that Juventus has not been included in the title race for the past few seasons they are only able to compete for Europa League or Champions League tickets, yeah since the financial crisis hit Serie A teams they can't improve their squad so sometimes we can't expect more from their performance.

Juventus is not ready to improve their results recently shows that they are still a struggling team, I don't know what they lost to Como at home but if it's about fighting to get back at Galatasaray in the champions League they are wasting their time because they will not be winning the game and they will have to seat up before finishing in top four. Roma still has a solid chance in the top four if they lose but Juventus could be losing their position if they lose again while Como wins.

As a Juventus fan: this team has no soul. It didn't have it for years at this point. I see the players, I see what the management chooses to do, nothing makes sense. Players extremely overpaid, no clear plan, managers that barely last one season, there is confusion everywhere. All this begins with the management, it's pointless to keep changing coaches and then blame them for failures when you have a good young defender like Huijsen, coming from your academy, and you get rid of him for a few millions because you want to buy Koopmeiners, at Atalanta's asking price, and few months later, because of the injuries, the best idea is buying a mediocre player like Kelly paying him more than what they paid you for Huijsen. And a few months later Huijsen becomes Real Madrid's most expensive defender ever. Just this whole Huijsen situation sums up perfectly all the mess they have been doing. I have no hopes for this team unless many, many things start to change.

[Gallar]

After successfully holding Milan to a draw in their previous match,, Como will face another strong team, Juventus, in tonight's match. I don't know if Como will play well again in this match, because this match will be held at Juventus' headquarters,, which will certainly be very difficult for Como to dominate. But it will be very exciting if Como can win or hold another draw in this match.

Because currently Como's position is right below Juventus,, so therefore if Juventus loses, Como will definitely be closer to being able to climb into the top four in Serie A. So I can't wait to see this match. But for now,, I'm hesitant to place a bet, because the performance of both teams, as we know, is equally good. So that's why maybe I'll just enjoy the match, so what about you all, will you bet on this match?

Como has a lot at stake tonight, with the chance to qualify for next season's Champions League; Juventus is also playing for a place in the Champions League, so we expect an exciting match. I don't think Como can beat Juventus, especially after their recent defeat against Inter in the league and against Galatasaray in the Champions League. I really hope Como wins, but I know it won't be easy for them. So if I had to bet on this match, I wouldn't go for 1X2 but other odds.

Your prediction turned out to be wrong, my friend,, because in this match, Como actually managed to win the match. I was actually quite surprised by the result of this match because this match was held at Juventus's headquarters, and I thought a draw would probably be the most realistic outcome for Como. But in reality, Como actually managed to get a very impressive result.

Because winning with a score of 0-2 is clearly quite an impressive result. Because basically, Juventus currently has a pretty good defense, but amazingly, Como players were able to penetrate that defense well. So this was a truly exciting match. Because a big team like Juventus was humiliated by Como, it was clearly very exciting. And now the points gap between Como and Juventus is getting thinner, so Como must be able to work even harder now.
