Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[changaa]

Still, this draw is very disappointing for Como as it further hampers their chances of strengthening their position in the top four. Furthermore, Juventus is currently facing Genoa where Juventus scored an early goal to give them a 1-0 lead. If Juventus can add another goal and maintain their lead until the end of the match the gap between Juventus and Como will be just one point. This will undoubtedly put pressure on Como especially with their next match against Inter Milan.

Udinese is a team that i have always appreciated and although they don't stand out for their quality and for their great youth team and great players, they are still an appreciable team that deserves a lot of respect. Como, on the other hand, is doing what no one expected, even just going to the Champions League is an exceptional thing.

Yes, I think so too. For Milan, the most important thing is to be able to play in the Champions League next season and conduct a thorough evaluation to be stronger next season. Moreover, this season, both Milan and Napoli are struggling to win the Serie A title, considering that Inter is starting to find their best form. Furthermore, with a fairly large points gap and seven matches remaining, it seems difficult to stop Inter from winning the title this season. So, what Milan needs to do in the remaining matches is maintain their top-four position, especially since Como and Juventus continue to tailing Milan from fourth and fifth place, with only a five-point difference.

For AC Milan, it’s definitely better for them to focus on maintaining their current standing to secure a UCL spot. with only seven matches left this season, it’s going to be very difficult to catch up to Inter Milan. I’m not even sure if they’ll drop any more points.

Additionally, it’s true that Como and Juventus are closing in. A 5-point gap can change in just two matches. If Milan were to drop points in those two matches, Como could overtake them. So for now, Milan just needs to focus on not dropping any more points.

But if we look back at the 7 remaining matches and see who Milan’s opponents will be, I think Milan might just be able to secure 6 matches with full points. because the only truly difficult opponent for them is the match against Juventus in Week 34.

Of course, qualifying for the Champions League is an unexpected achievement for them. What they've accomplished so far is like a fairy tale. With their spectacular success, Como has become the most remarkable team in the Italian league this year. If they manage to secure a Champions League spot next year, they will attract even more attention in Italy and will become a team they need to be more cautious about. They will have to make transfers this summer to achieve success in both the Champions League and the Italian league. Their rotation squad will also need to be of high quality. Nevertheless, Champions League experience will be crucial for the players. Of course, this is assuming they can achieve that ranking, because there are very strong teams like Juventus and Roma following them with similar points totals.

Of course Inter will win the Serie A, there is no doubt about that and it was pretty clear since the beginning. Napoli were supposed to be a contender but they lost De Bruyne and Lukaku, two of their main players, and they don't have the save squad deepness and quality that Inter have. I'm simply curious to see whether Conte is going to stay with Napoli or not, I think he is going to leave at the end of the season.

yes Inter will make it in the end, it's definitely not like last year where Inter were focused on getting the treble but in the end they didn't win anything, this year they only have the Scudetto to win and i think that's why they will go until the end, now they just have to take home some games and the points aren't like last year.

It is not easy for Inter Milan, we can still see their performance which seems to be weakening a lot. Although there is still a big gap in the points table, when Inter Milan's performance and consistency are lost, this point gap will not seem big. They will have to try to bring their performance back to the previous situation as soon as possible and maintain consistency. Currently, Inter Milan's biggest rival is Napoli, they have only 7 points difference with them. If Inter Milan draws 1 match and loses 1 match and on the other hand, if Napoli wins 2 matches, how much lower will the point difference go. Now Inter Milan has to play as consistently as possible, if they fail, the trophy may slip out of their hands.

I'm sure Inter haven't forgotten losing the championship in the final weeks of last year. They lost both the Champions League and the Italian league in the final weeks and finished the season without a trophy. I'm sure they don't want to experience a similar situation this year, especially after their early elimination from the Champions League. Therefore, I think they can win the championship by focusing entirely on the league and maintaining their advantage against Napoli. It's not hard to predict this, because right now, their full focus is winning the Scudetto.

Sometimes players are also selfish enough in their response to problems, so they speak to the media as they please which can cause problems for the team. As has happened with several players in the Premier League, who have claimed to be victims of coaches who don't give them opportunities. Osiemhen's case may be different and he didn't speak to the media about his treatment, but the media may have exaggerated the conflict with the coach. Situations like this must be resolved because they can impact the team and the player. If found guilty, decisive action is appropriate so the problem doesn't drag on.

Every time we talk about the coaches being to blame and the players being poor victims, i don't see it that way.
Players, especially good ones, want to make a career, and this can often be to the detriment of the team.
While the coach wants the team to win, that is his goal.

I completely agree with your assumption,, my friend, because it is true that currently, Milan's main focus should be securing a ticket to the UCL for next season. Because if they still want to chase the Serie A trophy, it will clearly be very difficult for Milan. Because, as we know, the points difference between Milan and the team at the top of the standings is very large. So, currently,, it makes more sense for Milan to maintain their current position and secure a ticket to the UCL.
snip

AC Milan should indeed focus on maintaining their current position because in this season's Champions League they failed to get a place after finishing their bad season last season, so now is their chance again to be able to appear in the Champions League by finishing in 2/3 place.. and they should be able to maintain that position because they still have a gap with COMO, and their distance with Napoli is also not much, so they should still be able to add points in the rest of this season.

Milan's Champions League qualification is practically guaranteed, but Como is in a more precarious position. They secured their Champions League spot, albeit with difficulty, and will want to maintain it. In their last match, they unexpectedly dropped two points. Juventus, on the other hand, won and closed the gap. Juventus are just one point behind them in the standings. If Juventus wins after Como's points drop, the standings will change. Right now, Fàbregas is surely thinking about how to maintain this position. Their next match is against Inter, and they will likely drop points there as well. For Juventus to regain their Champions League spot, they absolutely need to win three points away at Atalanta.

Second and third has no realistic difference that part is true. I am sure that there must be some money incentive, a couple million euro at least, maybe more. But, aside from that I do not think there are any real difference. But that couple millions could be a players salary handled, so of course it is also not nothing.

I know that in today's football, people think that 5 million or less means nothing, but it actually means at least one salary for one player so it is not nothing. But I also understand why fans do not have to care about it, I can see why that would feel like that's a normal situation and nothing bad. If we can handle this period very well, then it is not going to really matter that much to any of the fans.

Considering the figures that circulate in football, 2 million or 5 million covers a player's salary, for an ordinary person he lives there all his life with that money, so it can seem like a giant figure.
But it's still a prize that helps with team management costs, so i wouldn't spit on such a prize.
They settle, better not to receive anything, right?

[bastisisca]

But if we look back at the 7 remaining matches and see who Milan's opponents will be, I think Milan might just be able to secure 6 matches with full points. because the only truly difficult opponent for them is the match against Juventus in Week 34.

he couldn't aim for the championship in his first year even though i admit that he came very close, it's just that after years of playing badly you can't immediately start playing well.
they certainly did better, it's undeniable, the ranking speaks for itself

Because, as we know, the points difference between Milan and the team at the top of the standings is very large.

Because basically,, this season they cannot play in the UCL, because in the previous season Milan could only finish in 8th place in Serie A. So, that's why this season Milan can not play in the UCL. Therefore, Milan's struggle to reach its current position is clearly a very good thing. Because in the previous season Milan's performance was very poor. So seeing them able to compete well in the top four is clearly a very significant improvement.

Milan will be able to get a ticket to go and do well in the Champions League, honestly they deserve it but Como also deserves it as they are doing very well, so the challenge is very close and they are all doing well it's a shame if there were other teams that get in the way, i have to say that i would prefer Milan to go.

Milan are a very good team and their chances of qualifying for the Champions League this year are high. I think there are very strong teams in Italy and every team needs to play their best to deserve a Champions League spot. Inter are already a very strong contender for the championship and will be in the Champions League next year. I think the same for Milan. There will be great competition between the remaining two Champions League spots. Neither Napoli's nor Como's place is secure.

What a diferent team is Inter when Lautaro Martinez is on the team, i dont know what the management is thinking but they need to buy a player in the next transfer window for his replacement, im not saying he is going but for this cases when Lautaro gets injured they need another big player to relly on and not lose so much points and terrain.

Lautaro Martinez has played for Inter Milan many seasons and he joined the club as a young player, gradually took a main position and finally are their captain but it seems the peak of Inter Milan and Lautaro was some seasons ago with Inzaghi as their head coach. Inter Milan will go to their downside with this player generation in coming seasons while in his national team, Lautaro does not have too good position.

For Juventus to regain their Champions League spot, they absolutely need to win three points away at Atalanta.

AC Milan will have many things to do in the summer during and after World Cup 2026 for changes in their player resource in order to improve their squad for playing in both Serie A and Champions League next season. They can not rely on a very old play maker like Modric in a next season, and it's very risky if they actually do that.

Como are amazing with Fabregas management but it's hard for me to believe that they will play well in Champions League if they are eligible to join it after this Serie A season ends. In Champions League, experience is very important and Como players mostly don't have any experience there, that will be their big challenge if they somehow manage to finish in top four this season against Juventus and AS Roma.

Inter currently has a seven-point lead over Napoli,, and I believe this advantage makes Inter very likely to win Serie A this season. Moreover,, as we know, Inter's focus is solely on Serie A matches. This will undoubtedly strengthen their dominance in the league, making them very difficult for any team to defeat. Napoli,, the second-strongest team in Serie A, is currently in no position to overtake Inter.

They are also not in a truly ideal state,, as they are still unsure about their striker options. Therefore, Inter seems to have no significant competitors this season, and can be said to be safe at the moment. Because there are no serious threats from rival teams. Milan's current performance is also not very good. Therefore,, I think Inter will likely continue to dominate Serie A until the end of the season.

AC Milan must be able to qualify for the Champions League, it's a necessary thing and their reputation is worth it, it's very important for their future growth, necessary to understand if they can give even more or if this is the best they can do, they certainly could do a little more.

Lautaro Martinez had an explosive year, two years ago, after which i don't know what happened he became a shadow of himself and i say this as a football fan and not just an Inter fan, it's a great shame given that he could still give a lot.
Nobody cared to understand the problem, so double shame.

in theory, if Inter were a normal team, we could say that they are enough
let's remember that last year they lost the championship and Napoli won it in the last few days
and this isn't even the first time, my friend @lillominato89 knows it very well, and I always make fun of it for this.

AC Milan must be able to qualify for the Champions League, it's a necessary thing and their reputation is worth it, it's very important for their future growth, necessary to understand if they can give even more or if this is the best they can do, they certainly could do a little more.

It wouldn't come to that in my opinion. Milan are already 5 points ahead of Como and it is 6 points with Juventus who are just out of top 4. Milan just need to mess up big time for that! 

But the thing is that Napoli are much more likely to finish at the 2nd position. At least according to their recent form... If De Bruyne gets better soon they can be a bigger candidate for that.

It is unlikely that Milan will fail to qualify for next season’s Champions League; their lead is comfortable given the matches still to be played.
Furthermore, Como’s next match is against Inter, who are determined to win the Scudetto, so Milan are likely to extend their lead over Como even further.
