Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[sana54210]

Como is heading for a new era in Italian soccer. They are currently 4th in the league table, and they are also having a Coppa Italia semifinal second leg game against Inter Milan. This is going to be a big season for them, still they need to give their best in the remaining matches if they want to keep their hopes alive for UEFA in the coming season.

15th March against Roma and then 12th April against Inter Milan at home could be important for them if they are able to hold them, it's going to be a big boost for them because these games could give them enough chances for staying in the top ranks and having their best end of this season under Fabregas, who is managing this amazing job.

The real achievement wouldn't be just finishing fourth place and then do a great for one year and then start doing much worse and losing all your good players during the summer. I mean Inter could lose all their games for the rest of the season and finish below Como, you think they will do the same next year?

Big teams are big teams for a reason, like Juventus may finish under Como this year, you think the same will happen next year? Of course not and we all know that Como is having one off great season but they are going to get worse. This is what Como has to fix, if they can also do great next year, and great the year after that, it's much more important for them to have a good season. Imagine being top four but doing that five years in a row, that would be great.

There is no longer any possibility for Atalanta, they have been eliminated from the Champions League competition because realistically, if the second leg is played at Bayern Munich's home, it is impossible for Atalanta to turn things around, and it must also be admitted that indeed Atalanta's performance this season has been very poor compared to last season, so it is only proper for Atalanta to now focus on Serie A.

Atalanta is already far behind in the current standings; they are now in 7th place, and finishing in the top 4, I think, is almost impossible for Atalanta. So a realistic goal for Atalanta to pursue this season is to finish in 5th or 6th place to be able to play in the Europa League next season, and they will certainly focus on that.

I think Atalanta will have a difficult game today against Inter after such a match against Bayern. So even though they need points to move higher and fight for fifth or sixth place, I think they might lose today. Inter are no longer playing in the Champions League, so they can focus all their attention on Serie A, and will try to win to keep Milan from getting closer. I also think Juventus will try to beat Udinese today, because Udinese no longer have any major goals left in Serie A. I think they will most likely finish the season somewhere in the middle of the table. For Juventus, the fight is still ahead, since I believe they will continue competing with Como for fourth place.

It could be very possible for them to perform poorly next year if they don't continue with Fabregas, maybe if he leaves to another team or so just like Xabi Alonso left Bayer Leverkusen and began to perform poorly after he left. You could see how Eric Ten Hag took over and hey got worst, that's what could happen to Como if Fabregas leaves.
 However if he continues to be their coach, chances of them getting better would be high cause he'll know the right players to upgrade his team with. So they better retain Fabregas as well as some important players that's got them this far.

What you say is absolutely true. Many teams perform exceptionally well one season, but the following season suffers. This often happens to smaller teams. Examples include Leverkusen, Leicester City in the EPL and in Serie A. Perhaps Como who no one predicted would finish fourth even though they were only promoted to Serie A next season.

Como could suffer next season not only if Fabregas leaves, but if any of their key players leave, that would also be bad for Como. When a player performs exceptionally well in a smaller team, he's tempted by offers from bigger teams to move. This happens frequently in every league, especially in the Bundesliga especially Dortmund. When a star is always sold they can't maintain consistency every season. But I hope this doesn't happen to Como, especially since they've said they're building a long-term squad under Fabregas. Como next match will be against Roma this is an interesting match to strengthen Como top four position.

No team became grate or stayed grate in just one day, it all started at a time, so if it happens that Como has got started with ascending to the top team status of the league, let us give them some time and hope for the best for them, sometimes it may not really be about the coach because even the players too could want the coach out and for that reason may not want to work with him well enough to achieve that which would have given them that better chance of staying in a good form.

Bad performance in Champion League when defeating by Bayern Munich exactly difficult match for Atalanta when facing Inter Milan will play few minutes later, must rotate several key players for playing the champion league second leg match and against Inter Milan as the top standings teams not easily. Atalanta have difficult moment right now still outside from the top fourth standings in domestic league and must prepare team for this middle week match against Bayern.
Inter Milan won't loss three points anymore after losing last match from Inter Milan and defend the top standings has many points from Milan, its easily match for Inter or Atalanta will get three crucial points this time?

[stompix]

Como is a team which is going very good and their improvements are very loud. They are very dedicating to their work and their position and it also seems in their body language.

Loool!
God what drivel some type here just to make their replies 4 lines long!

Because this is a team which can not compete with others on financial status.

Well, let me tell you a secret that everyone knows
- Como is owned by the richest man in Serie A
- Como spent more money on transfers than Inter Milan or Juventus!

But yeah, in rest it's all about body language! A!

It seems to me that they were initially focused on the game with Inter, since the chance of getting past Bayern in a two-legged confrontation was close to zero, and after the first meeting it became exactly zero. But Inter's advantage is that even a draw wouldn't be enough for Atalanta, so they'll take risks. Plus, I don't see any problems for Inter given their seven-point lead. The most interesting match of the round is Como - Roma, the fight for 4th place.

I have a feeling Atalanta will end up the week with 10 goals in their net  
Actually, since well, what's the fun in just saying it, beer money on Inter -2.75 at 4.60!  
I had the worst day of betting with the CL, I had the best day with horse racing yesterday with 14 favorites winning out of 17, time to go all bust this weekend!

The match has already started, and I'm late to place a bet on this one. Inter have started well enough, and I'm not sure if Atalanta can keep a clean sheet. Inter will be looking to make amends for their loss to Milan in their last match, so I expect them to pick up all three points. Despite their lead in the standings, Inter aren't comfortable, and they're looking to widen the gap.

Of course, after dropping points in their previous match against Milan, Inter must bounce back quickly. Furthermore, they face several tough matches in the coming matches. The match against Atalanta is a must-win match to bounce back from their loss to Milan and build confidence for their upcoming matches.

The match is currently underway, and Inter are dominating the game with Esposito scoring in the 26th minute. So far, I don't think Atalanta has fully recovered, having failed to win in their last four matches in all competitions. With Atalanta poor performance so far, I'm confident Inter will add another goal in the second half. If Inter win this match, they will be 10 points ahead of Milan. Milan will travel to Lazio, which will be a tough match for Milan.

Seeing Como succeeding this way gives me lots of joy cause I have been following this club ever since they got promoted to the Italian seria A, ever since it has been steady improvement season after season,

So far, they have succeeded in cementing their place as one of the top clubs in the league by recording big results against some of the Italian elite clubs, and based on the look of things currently on the table, it seems they might make it to the champions league if they do not loose focus

May be, that will be their best achievement in the club's history if they finally attain the champions league status, and I will also love to see them clinch the Coppa Italia since the league title is not in view for them based on the current position on the table.

Entering the 55th minute of the match, Inter Milan is currently leading the match with Inter Milan 1 - 0 Atalanta, I think Inter Milan will win this match, apart from the reason for losing in the previous matchday, they also have to win because they're playing at home. Based on the odds in the 1X2 bet, I think Inter Milan should be able to win by big score here, maybe Inter Milan 3 - 0 Atalanta or Inter Milan 4 - 1 Atalanta.

I'm not expecting not much goals from Inter in this match because they have only scored one goal and Atalanta is not looking weak in the game. Esposito goal on the 26th minutes seperates both sides. The game is currently on the 72nd minutes and the scoreline is still 1-0. Inter should be careful to avoid a late equalizer from Atalanta.

[Iamgoat]

I really start to believe we are gonna see Como in the next Champions League if they dont crack under the pressure of the last rounds and the expectations, but well this is football and that is more easy to say than do.

If Juventus continues to play so bad and pick up no points, then Como will have a good chance. They won 6 of their last 10 games. There was a win vs Juventus and a draw against Inter Milan, that is very impressive. If Como beats AS Roma on Sunday, they extend their lead over a direct competitor for a spot in the Champions League. It would be a surprise in Italy, and i think many people would like it.

I agree with you. Many people will like to see Como win their Champions League spot with the way they are going so far. Como are already showing this prowess to win their spot though it is not going to be an easy way around it for them as it will require them to persevere the more if they want to real make it there. With their impressive performance so far which you also highlighted up there, they will be able to get there based on my well wishes for them and they also need to stay focused and committed and this will possibly make it a history for them especially as they are in the good book of everyone now.

Inter Milan is a bit off form. They played against Atalanta at home. Even then they could not win the match. The match ended 1-1. Inter milan should have played better. Especially they were able to create a lot of chances but were able to score only one goal. This was  their biggest weakness today. On the other hand, atalanta's players attacked relatively little. Even then they were able to score one goal. Inter milan's defenders could not resist Atalanta. Even then Inter Milan is still in the safe zone in the fight for the title of serie A.

That late equalizer really came and Inter had no answer to that... So it was 1-1 by final whistle! I don't know what to say. I believed in Inter so much to win this game honestly.

They aren't competing in the Champions League first of all so they have not much fatigue problem. Atalanta are the opposite. They even were demolished by Bayern Munich you know.

I expected them to be vulnerable. But they fought back and stole the point. Inter are risking the championship by these point losses.

And finally, Atalanta thwarted Inter victory, Nikola Krstovic was the hero for Atalanta, making the most of his chance in the 82nd minute by scoring.
I was a little disappointed with Inter performance, they should have scored more than once with their dominance and chances, but their finishing was rather poor, I was worried because this draw certainly paved the way for Milan to close in on them.

This is a disappointing result from Inter because they have dropped five points in their last two matches. If Milan wins their next match, Inter will be five points from Milan. Milan will gradually, closing the point gap, if they win Lazio. De Ketelaere dying minutes goal gabe Atalanta the opportunity to share a point with Inter.

Inter Milan were really wasteful in the final end, they couldn’t convert their chances. Lautaro Martinez was really missed in this game as Marcus Thurman didn’t contribute enough and was wasteful in front of the net. Both teams played with much intensity, they pressed very high among themselves and to be honest if you ask me I think Atalanta deserves the point they are going home with in this game because they played really well and fought well enough to get the point.

Inter Milan did not play well in this match. They should have performed better in the home match. Atalanta played defensively in the match. Inter Milan should have performed aggressively in this match and won the match by dominating it. But Inter Milan could not dominate the match or even win it. This is definitely their failure. Since being eliminated from the champions league, their performance has been weak and erratic. The team has lost its form badly. Manager Chivu is not able to stabilize the team in any way.

[jakdanyel]

Inter weren't dominant enough at Giuseppe Meazza which was a big disappointment for me... They were like calling for Atalanta's equalizer. I'm not surprised with the result after seeing the game they played.

My expectation was different. They should have been dominant against a wounded team which got a total defeat against Bayern Munich at home. Now Milan have a good opportunity ahead to drop the gap more.
