Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Altryist]

Napoli are much higher in the standings and are playing at their home stadium, so bookmakers consider them the favorites. However, I am not confident in a victory for the Neapolitans, as the team has serious squad depth issues due to injuries.

At the same time, it is worth paying attention to the scoring record. Under Antonio Conte, Napoli play attacking football at home: in their last five home matches, three goals or more were scored. Torino have also been playing open football lately—in four of their last five rounds, fans saw plenty of goals. So, for this match, you could consider a bet on both teams to score and over 2.5 total goals.

I see that De Bruyne and Lukaku will start this match on the bench, so I think Conte can already rely on these players and I hope they will come on in the second half. These players will definitely strengthen Napoli’s attack. Conte might not be starting them because they may not yet be fully ready to play the entire match. Therefore, I also think Napoli will score at home, and I expect them to score at least two goals today.

Fabregas at Como is just the beginning of a long career for this player and i think it is already known that he is followed by many teams for what he is doing, for what he has built in Como and for how he is fighting on the pitch with his players, it is incredible and i think his destination is already elsewhere.

Of course, Fabregas has just market himself in his coaching career and in no time, bigger clubs may start seeking for his managerial experience. Fabregas has really Transformed Como within a short time since they were promoted to the Serie A. The club really owes him appreciation for how he has been able to bring out the best in the players even though most of them are not world class players. Even when Fabregas was a player, he made remarkable performance especially for Arsenal because he was a world class midfielder at Arsenal so i won't question his level of experience as a coach.

This is what happens when a team has a large budget and chooses the right coach. We still remember when they were just promoted to Serie A and immediately did extraordinary things by finishing in the top 10. And this season their strength has increased rapidly, as evidenced by their current position in the standings, even if I remember they had that position since the beginning of the season. Como cannot be underestimated at this time by the big teams in Serie A, and it is not impossible if we see them playing in European competitions next season.

When a team has a high budget and chooses the right coach, the choices must certainly be made very carefully, because otherwise you risk ending up like Real Madrid, i can quote, but i have to say that the competition for those who come up from a lower category to do something like that is crazy.

The advantage of having good finances can indeed make things better because you can buy good players and coaches for the team so that you can create extraordinary strength, that is an undeniable advantage, if Como's growth continues I think they can become one of the new giants in the Serie A league, but let's see the future prospects of this team in its development every season whether it will be very good or not, and like some other teams, they will only be good in one season after which they return to factory settings.

Today we have a game in Serie A between Napoli and Torino in Naples. Obviously Napoli is better on paper since they are on top comparing to Torino and the latest games results are better in the Napoli side. Bookies are supporting Napoli. The only thing that seems for me as a doubtful about the result of that match is the fact that Torino beat Lazio in the last time. I am aware Lazio is not top this season, nevertheless a draw is possible depending from Napoli readiness.

Despite Napoli disappointing previous two matches, I'm completely confident in them today, they certainly realize their place is at stake, so beating Torino today is a must, especially since they're playing at home. A loss even a draw, would be a huge embarrassment.

Now that the lineups are in place, Napoli haven't brought many substitutes today, but key names are still on the roster. KDB and Lukaku will likely be used as supersubs by Conte.

Napoli must win tonight; losing would seriously jeopardise their fourth place in the table, and they cannot afford any more missteps.
But on the other side is Torino, who are at serious risk of relegation and must win to avoid taking too many risks. So I think it could be a very hard-fought and complicated match.

Fabregas is not someone who will stay at Como for too long, I am feeling even this summer he could be getting some big offers, and if that does happen then we could see the situation change at Como next season as well. Half of their success comes from their manager, and the other half is few key players who they look like they will lose, like Paz for example is going back to Real Madrid.

So if Fabregas leaves this summer, and Paz will, and one or two more does, then no matter how rich they are, they are not going to be this good next season. This is why if I was Como management, I would sit down with Fabregas and give him a huge contract, to make sure no other team could get him and he will stay at the club for long term.

but I think Fabregas needs to focus more on Como for his improvement and the achievements he has to get with Como because at the moment he is currently getting along with Como, he can't leave if he leaves early before having any achievements. I really doubt that he will get a better offer in the future because the history of achievements is also important, he doesn't have to adapt to the new players and has to start adapting himself again, regarding Paz I think he can try to add more loan time, after all, returning to Real Madrid doesn't have a big chance going forward. to the first team amidst the many good players there.

[dezoel]

Como plays great football and could certainly finish ahead of Juventus but we must consider they are very young players who could make more error under the pressure. Not everyone is Nico Paz.

It's not by being young or old what really matters is the strong team work and focus on the same goal. This is why their coach Fabregas is there to guide, encourage and motivate them for a stable performance.

If Juventus continue to draw their matches, it will be difficult for them to overtake Como who have put them behind with a point. Roma needs to be be very careful with their upcoming matches in order to avoid dropping too many points if not Como will overtake them and qualify for Champions League next season.

I would say you are right in general, like talent and goal do matter a lot but at the same time we have to remember that there is a reason why people think that younger players could make more mistakes under pressure.

Being at that level for too long makes you feel less excited about it, imagine an 18 year old kid who is at UCL game for the first time in his life, like any UCL game in the group stage, for a team that barely ever gets there, compared to some 38 year old in UCL finals who have been there for 8 times already. Not the same thing, is it?

Napoli must win tonight; losing would seriously jeopardise their fourth place in the table, and they cannot afford any more missteps.
But on the other side is Torino, who are at serious risk of relegation and must win to avoid taking too many risks. So I think it could be a very hard-fought and complicated match.

First half match Napoli success winning awhile 1-0 against Torino, Alisson Santos goal at 7th minutes make Napoli leading awhile and Napoli full dominance controlling match at first half match. Its important match and Napoli must defend the winning score until the end of match if won't loss chance with top fourth standings, if can secure three points and keep winning this match will make Napoli has one point left with Milan at 2nd place although have many points gap with Inter Milan still at the top standings.
Second half match have many possibility with Torino has chance for scoring goals or Napoli will score more than two goals keep secure the winning result and pressure Milan at 2nd position.

[len01]

In the first half, Napoli played pretty well, but unfortunately their weak attacking line made things a bit difficult and they only managed to score 1 goal. Meanwhile, Torino put up some resistance and tried 5 shots, which at times made Napoli’s defense look a bit shaky. If Napoli keeps giving Torino chances, I’m pretty sure BTTS (Yes) could happen. And if there’s a surprise in this match, the game could also end in a draw.

[MK-74]

Napoli is leading 2–0 at home against Torino. There are about 10 minutes left in the match and I think they will secure the 3 points.

Napoli has been the better side in the game and it will be a well deserved 3 points. With this victory, Napoli’s points will rise to 56 and they will keep their position in the league standings.

What are your picks for this Sunday's AC Milan Vs Inter?

"Derby della Madonnina" or "Derby di Milano" is considered one of the biggest city derbies in world football. It makes it even better that both teams are placed 1st and 2nd in the league, but, to be honest, Inter's 10-point advantage means that this game will not be a deciding factor, and could at best just slow Inter down a little bit.

Odds are around of x3.45 for AC Milan, x3.15 for Draw and x2.20 for Inter. No wonder as Inter is on 8-games winning streak for the league games. They did noted some poor performances in other competitions, namely getting beaten by Bodo/Glimt in the Champions League play-offs.

In the only game of tonight. Napoli defeated Torino 2-1 and are putting some pressure on AC Milan, who are now only 1 point ahead.

This is why if I was Como management, I would sit down with Fabregas and give him a huge contract, to make sure no other team could get him and he will stay at the club for long term.

The idea of a contract extension is obvious but even this doesn't address the real structural problem here. Como basically are running on borrowed players.

Morata? Borrowed. Diego Carlos? Borrowed. Addai just tore his Achilles. Roberto and Moreno contracts running out. Then you chuck Paz leaving on top of all that. It's a lot hitting at once. All in one summer.

Feels a little like watching a great poker hand slowly unfold. Everything was working, the numbers were there, manager's a genius, owners have money. Now suddenly all the cards are getting taken back off the table.

Como have been in the bottom position in Serie A. And they're fifth in the table. There's a renovation planned, bigger capacity, proper modern venue. But it only happens if they remain in the top tier and obtain European football. So this season isn't about just pride.

So yeah I agree. Sit Fabregas down, let him an offer. But it's a larger conversation than the contract. It's about showing him the project is bigger than him. That's what really keeps a manager.

Money by itself never kept anyone who wants to leave already.

That is all they are after, making sure they qualify for the Champions league asides that,  they are just another inconsistent Fiorentina who are nowhere near good in the league games.
Good thing they could grab three points at  home. The bookmakers at least got something right here  Are there no updates for the return of KDB, they need him back more than ever

In the end, the match ended with a score of 2-1. As I expected, it was a very interesting match.
Napoli is now closer to Milan in the standings but is still behind.
On Sunday, there will be the Milan derby, and I predict it will be a heated match. Inter wants to extend its lead in the standings, but Milan wants to close the gap.

This is why if I was Como management, I would sit down with Fabregas and give him a huge contract, to make sure no other team could get him and he will stay at the club for long term.

The departure of manager or the departure of several key players this season would have negative impact on the team for next season, but that's only if Como don't find replacements. Your mistake was saying that no matter how rich Como are, if they can't keep Fabregas or Paz in the team, they will be a bad team next season. The fact is that a club's wealth affects its performance, just look at Paris Saint-Germain & Bayern Munich. So, regardless of whether Fabregas & Paz leave or not, as long as Como has big money to find replacements, it won't be a problem.

There were attacks from Napoli, but Torino's strong defense prevented those attacks from turning into goals. However, the match ultimately revealed the result in Napoli's favor. Napoli also had to work hard to win the match. Although these matches will fail to contribute to the Scudetto win, Inter Milan has already secured the title. The gap is so wide that it is not possible for any other team to replace them at the top. No matter who wins the derby match, there will be no change in the points table.

This is why if I was Como management, I would sit down with Fabregas and give him a huge contract, to make sure no other team could get him and he will stay at the club for long term.

Yes, the current Como management team must immediately move to think about this, because if they do not move now to give a good offer to Fabregas, it is clear as we know Fabregas will go to another team that may be able to offer a higher salary. So that's why Como really can't stay silent right now, because I think it will be very useless if their current performance is good, and next season their performance is bad. So the point is if that happens Como's fate will definitely be like Girona in La Liga.

Because Girona also always performs well in La Liga but after its players leave to move to other teams,, like Dovbyk who moved to Roma, Girona's performance becomes bad. So that's why Como really has to think about this right now, because even though they have to spend quite a lot of money now, it will be worth it for the results in the future. Because if Como can become a major team in Serie A,, they'll obviously attract more sponsors, and their money will surely return quickly. So they shouldn't be afraid to spend money now to improve the team.

Like I said before, if Napoli kept giving Torino chances to attack, BTTS (Yes) was going to happen. And honestly, it’s not really a mistake, it’s more about Napoli’s defense being weak lately, often giving opponents opportunities to score. Luckily Eljif managed to add another goal before Torino scored, and Napoli still secured the 3 points.

If the team keeps performing like this, Napoli will have a hard time competing for the title. So what about Conte, who was expected to take Napoli to the top of the standings?

Napoli has indeed seen some decline, especially in defense. We can't deny that situation regarding Napoli. BTTS is certain (yes), the team's condition allows for that to happen.
Conte must be aware of the position of his defense, with the current players needing to be improved. Acquiring new players will certainly be difficult, but he can provide insight and training to existing players to be more reliable in defense. The league is still quite long, and the current gap is 10 points with Inter Milan. If they want to compete, they must start to address weaknesses, as all teams have now started to focus again on their domestic leagues.

Since Como gained promotion to the top flight of Italian football, Fabregas has done a great job at Como, and I won't be surprised if he gets big offers in the summer transfer window. Since a coach will take all the blame when a team isn't doing well, I think Fabregas is 100% responsible for the success of Como this season. Como management have seen the success Fabregas has brought to Como football team, so if it's money that will make Fabregas and other Como key players to leave in the summer, I believe Como management will give them a bomber deal in order for them to stay put at Como
