Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[babo]

~~~~
Inter will just focus on the Serie A and Coppa Italia from now on. Napoli and Milan also need to start winning. One is for trying not to open the gap more with Inter and the other is for not losing their place in top 4.

In my opinion, we can't expect too much from Milan this season.
They are trying to carry out a growth strategy with Allegri, they are working, but in my opinion we have to wait until next season to see if the work they are doing will bear fruit or not.
They've been pretty unlucky so far, but they're second.

Hardly was it conceived that a team like Como would make it to the position where they are standing on now, they played draw against Milan, won against Napoli and Juventus this season. And on top of all that, they're in the semifinals of the Copa Italian.

 I tell you mate, they were well underrated from the start.

Cescs Fabregas is doing wonders in the Italian league. I don't usually follow the serie a up to date, only check the league table once in a while. I was surprised to see Como at 6th position. Como have never played a Champions League football, if Fabregas and his players can do better, they will make it to the champions league next season. The points difference is not much, and less than 12 matches to go. This is very possible.

Cesc Fabregas wants to make history with Como and that has being part of his reasons for rejecting all the offers from big club like Real Madrid. Sitting at the 6th position is just the process because I see Como getting pass that position into the top 4 analyzing the downwards form of some of the teams in those ranks. Perhaps just like some persons have commented, that they might stop at a Europa League spot, which wouldn't be a little achievement for a team like Como, at the end of this season.

Ohh men yesterday i come here and claim about the disaster situation of the SerieA and how they are not gonna have a single team in the round of 16 stage of the Champions League, but somehow Atalanta make his way in the last minute against Dortmund saving the face of the whole league, still a disaster but not so bad, Juventus was super close to a epic comeback but they died in the shore.

Atalanta qualifying is a miracle...I'm happy, but that doesn't change the fact that Italian football is in crisis, a truly worrying situation. Now Serie A feels miles off the elite level. The fall has been brutal. Historical teams are disappearing. A national team that is laughable due to a lack of local talent, they failed in youth development, and the result of that is failing to qualify for two straight World Cups. A rotten system unable to react. Immediate administration or the ultimate collapse of Italian football.

Indeed a miracle and also the last italian team who qualified further in UCL and also the one italian team that is doing the worst in Serie A managed to qualify further when teams like Inter and Juventus went home. I also thin that Bodo will have a deep run in UCL this year as long as they don't play against City and I'm sure a lot of you agree with me here because beating Inter in their current shape was not a coincidence.

[banana33]

I totally agree with you, Inter's elimination will benefit their championship campaign by making them more focused, aggressive, and aggressive.
I really don't think Milan or Napoli can do anything at this point.
Obviously this is my opinion and remember i am a Milan fan, i say this with sadness.

It benefits their championship but it doesn't benefit us opposing teams.
As a Milan fan, i hoped they would stay in the Champions League, now it will be more difficult to keep up with our black and blue cousins.
We still have a lot to improve at Milan, but with Max Allegri we can do it.

I think that is what Milan can and should do for this season. They need to finish the season well, even if it’s without a trophy. Next season will be a different situation that will demand an improvement in their performance to be able to compete better with teams that are also obviously making updates. 
I think Milan can still maintain a top 4 position in the standings. But seeing Napoli and Roma so close, Milan will have to work hard.

[verdinio]

Fiorentina is a team with some good players and a real chance of climbing the league ladder. They need to understand that there are some problems with the management of the team. i don't know if they realize this and if it can be done in this case. In any case, the atmosphere in Florence is not calm, but rather very tense in reality.

In fact, they have some excellent players. i can't understand why the team has had this kind of collapse in the Serie A championship. They definitely have to try to get the team back together and try to do well and try not to get relegated because the step is really very short and relegation is just around the corner.

Actually, you're absolutely right, i thought it was done for, it miraculously managed to do it, something that the big teams haven't managed.
Then Inter really disappointed me, i didn't think they would lose to that semi-unknown team, what a shame.

[bastisisca]

If it does,, it's certainly not a good thing. As we know, Inter currently leads the standings quite well, and if they maintain their consistent performance, they can certainly become Serie A champions. But I'm sure the Inter players won't let the Serie A trophy go to the opposing team,, as they believe it's their last chance of winning a trophy this season. That's why I think the Inter players will likely be fine. Essentially, the Inter players are all very professional,, so they won't let their emotions interfere with their performance.

i am sure of it too, my team isn't normal, in fact, if we want to say, it's crazy and has big problems managing itself.
But there's a lot of heart and determination, as well as strength and determination. So i am certain that the Scudetto will finally be ours this season.

He is determined to further his career and aims to coach more prestigious teams, which will certainly increase both his prestige and his salary.
I see that he is really working hard at this and therefore believes he can succeed, i truly wish this for him.

Atalanta were the only team that saved Serie A from disgrace this season, because they were the only team that qualified for the round of 16. That second leg was something else, because no one expected them to secure such much goals in that game. Although they made it to the round of 16, it is worth celebrating.

But I was not impressed with Juventus, even though they won, because from the first leg they played poorly. We all know that Galatasaray would not be an easy opponent for them to beat comfortably. So even winning the second leg by a small margin is not impressive to me, although they were still better than Inter Milan.

Atalanta shocked us all. My instinct is telling me that it's possible for Atalanta to go far because it seems the club performance is getting better. Assuming, Atalanta didn't qualify it would have been a shame on the Italian side. This was why someone was comparing Seria A highest goal scorer this season as weakling compared to other leagues that their highest goal scorers have scored a lot of goals.

This was actually a surprising match because Dortmund is strong in the second place in the Bundesliga but they turned out to be weak compared to Atalanta while Atalanta is in 7th place in Serie A yet Atalanta's performance was quite good and strong which is why they were successful. After winning a few matches Atalanta can go up a lot as you are saying and this will be due to their good performance and efforts. Atalanta should keep doing their efforts better so that it will be easy for them in the next matches and this will strengthen their position even more. If Atalanta could not go to the top and qualify then it is really a loss for their performance but they are down now and they do not need many points to go up but to get to the first place they will have to win all the next matches which is quite difficult for Atalanta because Inter and Milan will not let this happen for Atalanta.

[giammangiato]

 A national team that is laughable due to a lack of local talent, they failed in youth development, and the result of that is failing to qualify for two straight World Cups.

I answer critically, the criticism is not towards you but towards Italian football, how many Italian players do all Serie A clubs have in their squad?
We all already know the answer, this means one thing, how much is invested in young talent? I give you the answer ZERO.
Hopefully, you'll find talent like you find surprises in the chip pack; when you find young talent, it's hard to keep them going.
The result is that Italian football and Serie A in general isn't as good as it used to be, it's not as exciting as it was when I was a kid, just a fairy of numbers and the occasional good play in some random match, but even my favorite team is actually just a legacy I carry as a child, but it doesn't drive me crazy like it used to.

Indeed, several big clubs have tried to recruit Fabregas to become their club coach. However, their attempts to persuade Fabregas have always failed. this is because Fabregas has a good relationship with this club and is even rumored to own shares in it, making him part of the club's shareholders. Additionally, the club seems to fully support whatever Fabregas proposes, making him feel comfortable. Therefore, he simply wants to achieve great success with this team. And perhaps he will start looking for a new club once he has won several awards with this team.

Inter are out of the Champions League so it is time to focus completely on winning the Serie A title. They can actually do double if they manage to win the Coppa Italia as well. I think that's quite possible too as long as they manage to eliminate Como first...

Then Lazio or Atalanta will be their opponent in the final. Atalanta are in good shape so they wouldn't give up easily. But no matter what I don't expect Inter to finish this season without a trophy. Especially the Serie A championship is very close to be achieved!

[MarjorieZimmermanGinger]

If Milan doesn't want to miss out on qualifying for next season's Champions League, they must perform consistently in their remaining matches. It's not impossible that Napoli, Roma and Juventus could pull off a surprise that could knock Milan out of the top three, a requirement for Champions League qualification. Milan has a tough schedule in their next five matches, so they can't afford to make any mistakes, as they could drop points if they don't perform at their best. The challenge may be tough, but they need to show a higher level of play to maintain their chances of finishing second in the standings.

Atalanta had a poor performance in the beginning of the season and that affected their current position on the table but if they continue winning more matches than losing, it's possible that they will make it to the top four. Worst case scenario is that, they'll qualify for Europa League because Atalanta is five points behind Roma.

Of course, after being eliminated from the Champions League, Inter's focus is now on Serie A and the Coppa Italia. It's truly unfortunate that Inter were eliminated from the Champions League in the play-off round, losing to a team that could be considered weak, despite their impressive performance in the Champions League last season. Now, only Atalanta who are still in the Champions League are left behind representing Serie A.

If you're guessing whether Inter can win a trophy this season, the Serie A trophy is certainly within their grasp as the points gap with Milan is wide at 10 points. With their elimination from the Champions League, they'll undoubtedly be more focused on Serie A. It's just that in the Coppa Italia they will face a difficult obstacle because they have to face Como, of course this is a challenge especially since Como under Fabregas is a solid team they even previously beat Napoli, in Serie A they also held Milan to a draw and beat Juventus, of course this will increase the confidence of Fabregas squad to beat Inter in the Coppa Italia.

Milan must just try to win and maintain their excellent position in this way without exaggerating, i understand that the situation is not right to bring the team to a superior level but they must work harder and try to be sure of at least that place in the championship in view of next year.

[ITExpert]

Inter Milan and Atalanta played their matches very attacking but differences between them are in their shots. Both Inter Milan and Atalanta made big pressure on their opponents in second leg matches but only Atalanta managed to score a first goal in early minute and that early goal opened the match, made it more easily for Atalanta.

With Inter Milan, they did almost everything well, except the most important task, scoring goals and in both playoff matches, if Inter Milan players made better shots, they would have been the winner in this pair, not Bodo/Glimt. Inter Milan are responsible for their failure as they actually could do it much better while Bodo/Gimt performed better than any expectation while they suddenly received support from Inter Milan's terrible shots.

This is true that both teams Atlanta and Inter Milan are played very aggressively to get success over each other. But the one has to win and Atlanta is successful in this regard as they managed this success in an impressive way. Inter Milan tried their best to have this match in their court but they failed due to the not appropriate shots by the players. But the one thing about inter Milan is that they tried by all their potentials to make this match in their side. And this season is also not good for them in fact for  all the Italian teams. Atlanta is successful and they played defensively this result may enhance their confidence as they win this match with their great skills. And I think the potential they used to play is the most important thing to have any success.

I would not call it a miracle. Because we saw Atalanta very serious in champions league first round matches. Their performance in serie a was quite erratic. Anyway , they have done well in the champions league. But it is true that after trailing 2-0  in the first leg, it was very difficult for them to secure a 3-goal win against dortmund. But atalanta played very well in the second leg. And they won the match 4-1 . Atalanta performed well to secure the win. And they deserve it. They were able to identify the weaknesses of dortmund's defense well.

Worst case scenario is that, they'll qualify for Europa League because Atalanta is five points behind Roma.

The best Atalanta can do now is to aim for the top for finish in the Serie A but as it concerns the title they actually have no business there, luckily for them the champions league is still in place for them, it is going to be a lot managing this two as both competitions are in their critical phase for them and they have to be in their best performance to get the best from both, but we can only hope they at least get to top for back in their domestic league.
