Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Unsoldier]

I have a question: do you think Milan will be able to comfortably impose this favoritism, or could it be one of those tighter games?

I hope Milan win comfortably but I wouldn't be surprised if we see a close final result either. Because it's Allegri who has made us get used to it. His game is just based on being controlled.

Or I should say cautious maybe... He doesn't go for attacking hard for a long time period as long as his team gets ahead. He prefers to focus on not to concede the equalizer instead. I just believe this isn't good football and it's boring as hell! 

I'm pretty confident Milan will win against Turin, they are just too superior. But I really couldn't say whether it's going to be an easy victory or not because with Allegri as a coach everything is possible, and usually he wins matches by a single-goal difference, he's never been the type of manager that likes to attack.

In terms of class, Milan is definitely stronger and should win this match. The difference in level between the teams is noticeable now, especially if you look at their positions in Serie A. By the way, you correctly pointed out the thing about Allegri — his style rarely involves blowouts. Even against weaker opponents, Milan often plays pragmatically and closes out the match without taking unnecessary risks. Although Torino is lower in the table, they are capable of putting up a fight, especially if Milan fails to convert their chances again.

AC Milan lost their last game against Lazio, and the game they will be playing today against Torino might be something unexpected. I know Torino are not performing that well this season, but still, AC Milan tend to perform poorly in some games.

Although this is a home game for them, they will do their best in order to gain more points and go back to their second spot on the table. All I will say now is let’s wait and see how the game will later turn out for them, but I still have hope that AC Milan will win the game.

AC Milan is strong when they play at their home, so I am still very confident that AC Milan will be able to win in the upcoming match against Torino, especially since overall, AC Milan is clearly much stronger and their big motivation is to reclaim the 2nd position in the standings that was taken by Napoli in the current standings.

Regarding AC Milan's performance inconsistency, it has indeed continued to be their problem since the beginning of the season, and that is what makes it difficult for them to compete for the title, even though this season the AC Milan team has good strength in all lines.

With the way Napoli is doing, they are basically feeling safe at third place, and not really going for the second place. They are five points ahead of Como, and that's good enough for them to not feel worried about it, clearly they are doing a fine job there. And on top of that we are talking about doing a fine job at the league enough but not enough to battle Milan even though they are just one point away. Could they do it?

Possibly, it is not really unlikely and they can try, but do they really need to? Don't think so. Obviously Milan needs to keep running because they want to be second place, and been there for a while, but if Napoli doesn't end at second place, it would not be a failure like it would be for Milan.

I would say not be so sure about Napoli not finishing at the 2nd position.    Because their form in last 5 games is better than Milan. They are currently 2 points ahead of Milan with an extra game played.

Even if Milan win today the gap will be only 1 point. Therefore as long as Milan continue making silly point losses, Napoli are likely to get past them with this performance. But of course none of both is ever reliable for betting in the long term...

For awhile, Napoli success moving to second standings position and dropping Milan to 3rd place behind 2 points left but Milan still not play the match this week. Comparison last 5 games, Napoli won four matches and loss one match than Milan winning 2 games, loss 2 games and get draw one games its badly if fight to the second standings finish or stopping Inter Milan not celebrate early for the Scudetto tittle.

Next week, Milan and Napoli will face each other and its important to secure the second standings position indeed need to wait the match result of Milan tomorrow against Torino. I wish both team can perform well during few matches left in Serie A how to stop Inter Milan easily become the winner in this season behind many points left with Napoli or Milan.

In last night's match, Napoli managed to beat Cagliari with a very narrow score, but even so, they still got three full points which allowed them to climb back up to second place in Serie A. But I don't think Napoli will be able to stay in second place for long, because Milan, who will play against Torino, will clearly be able to win their match too. So with that, it is certain that if Milan can win, second place in Serie A will be reclaimed by them.

So, Napoli is currently clearly only hoping for the results that Milan will get later. But I think Napoli's hopes are clearly very slim, because the possibility of Milan losing to Torino is clearly very slim. Although we all don't know what the exact result will be,, but my prediction is that Milan will definitely win and shift Napoli's position again. So, what do you all think?

This win is very important for Napoli we can see that it's taken them to the 2nd position although it would be tough to catch up with Inter Milan but being in a good position is what matters. I really don't trust Milan cause they can be very disappointing when your expectation is high on them, I won't even be shocked if they draw that match. Well, they're playing at home so there's more advantage not to lose that match, a win or draw is possible.

By the way, the odds look very generous. Milan is second in the tournament, and Torino is 14th with a -18 goal difference. I don't like betting on Serie A, but it looks like I have no choice here. +40% for a seemingly obvious outcome seems tempting. It seems there are no big games in this round, maybe Fiorentina will surprise in the home game against a demotivated Inter? But Inter currently have a convenient schedule, so they will have to try hard to pull off such a surprise.

Given AC Milan's current quality, it would be quite profitable to bet on them, as AC Milan has a much greater chance of winning this match. Conversely with Fiorentina, although they could make the match a little more difficult for Inter Milan, the league leaders have a much greater chance of getting all three points, given Inter Milan's better form so far and the lack of a busy schedule, making them much more likely to win. Inter Milan's motivation is clearly to win to maintain their chances of staying at the top of the table and winning this season's title.

I don't think anyone, including Milan and Inter players, believes that the title is still up for grabs. It's impossible to make up an 8-point lead over such a distance "by accident", and everyone understands that Inter is better than Milan in every respect. That's why I'm afraid Inter will lack motivation. As for Milan, they're under pressure from Napoli, although they're not in danger of losing their Champions League spot. But still, a home game against a weak opponent seems to guarantee victory.

I'm pretty confident Milan will win against Turin, they are just too superior. But I really couldn't say whether it's going to be an easy victory or not because with Allegri as a coach everything is possible, and usually he wins matches by a single-goal difference, he's never been the type of manager that likes to attack.

Something tells me it's a draw. I don't have any data to back it up; it's just a feeling I've been having since yesterday. I have already placed a bet on both teams to score, but I keep having the urge to bet on a draw. Milan has been very inconsistent. They have lost and drawn to teams that were just as bad as Torino before, so the fact that they are a superior team may not be too important. The odd for the draw is also very appealing. I will wait till the lineup comes out, and if I still have the feeling, I will bet.

This win is very important for Napoli we can see that it's taken them to the 2nd position although it would be tough to catch up with Inter Milan but being in a good position is what matters.

Napoli won't catch up with Inter, but they will remain in the second position. Even if Milan wins and overtakes them, I believe they will still win and overtake them when they meet right after the international break.
A lot needs to be done about the Italian teams because they have not been convincing. They have become too inconsistent, including Inter, which is 8 points clear at the top of the table. I expected better competition from them at the beginning of the season.

This is the part where Como would have to decide their fate, these are the kind of games that determines whether a team like Como would secure a place for the UCL or the Europa or maybe the conference league, due to the close points difference between them it might be very difficult for Como to maintain that position because they are up against a strong team who also want to finish in a good position that would also guarantee them European football at the highest level, perhaps a draw would have been nice for Como.

This season, Como has been very solid and consistent, somehow I can express some level of trust on them that they will try to maintain the position despite having a team like Juventus known to be a top team right behind them, the inconsistency and erratic patterns of Juventus cannot be trusted, I understand the drive to secure a position in any of the European competitions next season can be a drive to fuel them, but Como has been really relentless and so you can be sure anything can happen.

Teams like Como usually have a great determination to achieve their goals compared to Juventus I believe more in Como, it doesn't mean I think Juventus is a bad team, but Juventus performance this season is uncertain, at the beginning of the season they performed well and when I believed they would achieve good results then this club immediately showed signs of decline so I myself don't expect too much from Juventus, but I think Juventus will try to be better than Como by continuing to compete tightly for a place in the UCL and we'll see who is better for this season.

[AYOBA]

AC Milan lost their last game against Lazio, and the game they will be playing today against Torino might be something unexpected. I know Torino are not performing that well this season, but still, AC Milan tend to perform poorly in some games.

I was very surprised seeing AC Milan losing their last match against Lazio that are not in their best form this season, because AC Milan this season are also among of the stronger teams in the Series A which their last results against Lazio shocked me. Yeah it’s true that they intend to perform bad in most of games, this coming match against Torino they will make they win the match.

Although this is a home game for them, they will do their best in order to gain more points and go back to their second spot on the table. All I will say now is let’s wait and see how the game will later turn out for them, but I still have hope that AC Milan will win the game.

Yeah, this is a home and as we all know that their AC Milan always strong when playing at home so in this case they most try by all means to get a positive results in the game tonight; so that they can chance’s Napoli from second spots.

[Lida93]

I have a question: do you think Milan will be able to comfortably impose this favoritism, or could it be one of those tighter games?

Allegri's style of play isn't as enticing or free flowing like that of Inter Milan or Como, that's why you see Milan scoring less even against smaller clubs, and that's the same method Allegri used when he was incharge of Juventus some years back, nevertheless, I expect Milan to win this one against Torino but am sure Torino would actually try to resist them but with Milan playing in the san siro it's quite easy for them because they know how to utilise their home advantage especially in games like this, it's an important game for Milan and a must win.

[dezoel]

Obviously Milan has a very easy game to play, doubt that they would have an unexpected result, but I doubt it would help them with the league neither.

Sure they can win this game and sure Inter didn't do that great recently, but Milan didn't do great recently neither so the gap is still wild and Milan winning this one will not change anything. ıts only good for us, so we can bet on this, but it is not a lot all by itself, I would say parlay it with something else so that you could get a good return.

[$weetne$$]

Inter knew how to manage the advantage they had and continued to have the power to decide whether to sink the blow or not, they also had the possibility of being able to make mistakes without running too many risks given that Milan still doesn't know how to exploit the opportunities they had, congratulations to Inter, this year at least they managed to win the championship, almost.

Inter is eight points away from Milan and six points away from Napoli, so i think we should slow down on crowning them as the champions just yet as they still more than five more games to go so it is typically enough time for teams like Napoli to still catch up even as we know they are very inconsistent, and we know that Milan too is not a weak side so anything can actually happen and get both teams to be a strong threat to Milan if they fall back and loose points.

[Lannakosa]

In terms of class, Milan is definitely stronger and should win this match. The difference in level between the teams is noticeable now, especially if you look at their positions in Serie A. By the way, you correctly pointed out the thing about Allegri — his style rarely involves blowouts.

Although Torino is lower in the table, they are capable of putting up a fight, especially if Milan fails to convert their chances again.

Yesterday Napoli won their match, and now they are two points ahead of Milan, so Milan need to win to avoid dropping lower. It’s unlikely they’ll be able to challenge Inter and close the eight point gap, but they shouldn’t slow down too early if they want to keep their place in the top 4. I also think they won’t score many goals against Torino, but I think both teams will score in this match.

Winning is better than losing even though is one goal that brought the victory. Napoli performance has dropped down in this season, if not Napoli suppose be in first position in the Italian league table till the end, because they started this tournament well to drag with the first position but as it stand now AC Milan and Napoli are seriously battling for second position, which is making the two clubs to prepare themselves more towards other games.

But Como really surprised many people in this tournament despite they are not getting to second position yet, but the effort they have applied in some games show that they will create opportunity that will allow them to go far in this Italian league and to be able to join champion league tournament next season.

Juventus’s performance has been improving lately. They’ve managed to win their last two matches. I personally believe that Juventus is focused on securing their spot in the top 4 of the standings until the end of the season by considering there are only 9 rounds left in Serie A. In this upcoming match Juventus will face Sassuolo. And I believe this will be an easy win for Juventus. In their last meeting Juventus managed to beat Sassuolo even though they were playing on the road. But this time Juventus will be at home, where it will give the team full confidence to deliver a strong performance in this match and even secure the win. I’m certain Juventus’s primary focus is on securing the 4th spot in the standings. And then they’ll begin focusing on claiming the 3rd spot in the standings by exploring every possible avenue to do so.

If Ac Milan lose this game i will never be surprise because they can let that happen, Ac Milan is one of the worst big club in Serie A league this season, they don’t know when they need a win in a game, if it was against big clubs like Inter, Roma and other teams they will be serious to win the game or draw it but immediately they see a small club they will be playing like a club that did not have good players, Ac Milan has many top players that they can win the league but they are not serious.

Torino is one of the sturborn team in the league and if Ac Milan did not take care they will concede a goal, with the way Ac Milan is playing now it will be better if they did not qualify for the Champions League because Champions League is not for small clubs that are not serious, if they come to Champions League with that their performance they will not make it to round of 16.

Even if Napoli remain second tonight, what does that change? People are viewing this as the moment of decision. And I personally don't believe that it is. At this point, we still have eight rounds to go.

Look at the way Napoli win their games. A clearance off the line saved them. Cagliari hardly even had chances but they nearly scored. And this is Cagliari we're talking about, who haven't won since January. Conte's whole thing is score first lock it down. And it works! But it only works when they score first. What happens when they don't? The Atalanta game proved pretty quickly. And De Bruyne coming back from months of injury is actually the most interesting thing going on at Napoli right now. If he's ACTUALLY fit, that changes everything with respect to their last stretch. He makes that team as completely innovation.

As to Milan taking second back this evening, probably so. Their goal difference is only better, their home record against Torino is absurd going back decades. But second place in march doesn't mean second in May. Ask anyone who's watched this league any length of time.

Como shown the consistent performance in this season in domestic league by leading the top fourth standing and qualified to semifinal round in Copa Italia. One step close for Como to finish at top fourth position and has chance for playing at Champion League next season by performing well in 9  matches left. Comparison the current matches left of Juventus I think Como has lower opponent team will face except facing Inter Milan and optimistic Como will secure the top fourth position.

Still has many matches left for the three teams Como, Juventus and Roma fight for the top fourth position depend on each team has consistent performance until the last games week. Its this for Como will finish at top fourth standings and first appearance will participants at Champion League?

I think in the race of top four there are three teams which Roma,  juventus and the como. But according to performances como is the most favourite to finish in top four. The reason of como has more chances to have a position in the top four is their consistent behaviour. Because being consistent is the thing which can lead you to the nothing but success and como is practicing this very seriously. If como will manage to secure this position they will play in the champions league next season and it is a great achievement for the team which is not that much strong or they raised themselves by their hard work and potential. There are matches remaining and all teams are tried to have their best and this is not about only como others also have the same chances to win.
