Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[JiiBs]

Milan is a team without direction. Before this game started, the odds for Milan to win were @1.40. I

Watching that game and I couldn’t understand it, I couldn’t get just how they are in the top 4 on the league table with the team being this bad in their performance. Loosing by 3 goals at their home in a game that most of us expected to take the win and strengthen their position on the league table. As it is now, they can’t afford to make any mistake as Como with a game to play against Sassuolo, a game they are most definitely going to win, they would cut down from 5 points behind to 2 points and that certainly would be put AC Milan in a tight spot.

AC Milan is not the same as the Prime Old AC Milan.  This Current Milan Team is so inconsistent and unpredictable even the match is not even started and I told to my friends Can’t expect from this Milan team because they are not consistent to win matches to catch the Top spot of the SerieA . Milan Need some revolutionary changes in their squad Firstly they need some new defender because their man problems is Defence. Bastoni is Good option.  Midfield is Good but as a experience player like Luke modric in your squad you Need a young and chemistry matching kinda player to make the Midfield more Good . Attacking is Good But as Milan need some Trustees Striker to help Rafael Leo and Christian Pulisic I just Thinking about Donyel Malen will be a good option for striker position. Milan bought Niclas Füllkrug but they are not Consistent as like AC Milan  . Milan Need some serious Replacement for thats position for the next season because at this squad they can't Win Any single trophy.

I want to say something about Como: it's true that they've done well this season, but let's also look at how much they've invested and spent over the years. A lot of money.
Let's say that the project is very ambitious and particular and the football team is just one of the pieces.
Como, as a team, also purchased villas to host wealthy members for club lunches.

He could do it but that's not the case, we have to consider how likely he is to actually do it.
Mathematically perhaps it is feasible but in reality it is not likely that Milan will lose all the matches.
That's the point on which all the discussions are made.

This is what most people forget, they see mathematically possible and assume that it's actually possible, but "mathematically possible" and "possible" are not the same things at all, you are forgetting the "probable" thing at the same time.

By logic, "young sheldon" tv show explained it best, "either there is, or there is not" is not valid on silly stuff, like for example is it at all possible that there is a million dollars in cash in my room right now if I go check it, mathematically it's not impossible, but we all know there isn't one. Milan losing all their games and Como winning all their games is that low chance, similar, it's not going to happen.

Milan is a team without direction. Before this game started, the odds for Milan to win were @1.40. I even wondered how many people actually believed Milan could win this game. The game isn't over yet, but we can already see or predict what the ending will be:



Milan has had 16 shots so far, but only 3 on target, showing great inefficiency. They haven't managed to score even one goal and have already conceded three. I see the game ending in defeat for Milan, and I hope they don't concede any more goals, because the way the game is going makes it seem like they'll concede 4 or 5. It's been a humiliating game for Milan. If they had won, they might have had a chance to move into second place if Napoli lost. But unfortunately, Milan's defeat in this game is inevitable.

Milan were slight favourites, given that they were playing at San Siro against an opponent – Udinese – who aren’t exactly unbeatable.
To me, this feels like a surprise defeat. Milan needed to win this match to secure a place in next year’s Champions League, but now they must be careful not to be overtaken by Juventus and Como.

[Sexylizzy2813]

Juventus are now the second team to beat Atalanta this year in the Serie A, first team to do that was Sassuolo. Currently the Old Ladies have finally found their way into the top 4 in the Serie A with Como getting ready tomorrow to face one of the most aggressive team in the Serie A this season, Inter Milan. The both teams are never going to take it easy on each other. Como wants to be in the conversation as one of the teams in the top 4 now that Juventus have gotten the needed 3pt to push them up to number 4, I wonder for how long and we have Inter Milan that never want to drop point for no reason. We saw how straight forward Inter was in their last game and Como didn't get the 3pt they fought for against Udinese...now we just have to tag the Como Inter Milan game as the clash of titans because it won't be one of those games they go out on the field and get an easy win...any ways congratulations to Juventus.

That game isn't going to be an easy match up because Como have proven to be the match of any team this season and they have won almost all the big names too in the serie A so facing off with inter milan and pulling off with the victory won't be a surprising result at all because that team have fully presented and prepared to face any team and even if they lose tomorrow it will be nice seeing them qualify for the champions league at the end of the Season.

The prime Milan had this quality where it seemed to know what to do second to second on the pitch. A general intelligence was running through the entire structure. And I do find that sort of historical comparison exasperating most of the time, but you do see on something actual and concrete. The present team plays in solitary bursts of excellence that never lead to anything that is coherent.

Modric is almost a metaphor for the problem actually. A 40-year-old is making the midfield of Milan operate by sheer intellectual prowess. And the moment the ball gets lost (and it will, at 40 it has to) he cannot recover physically, and the structure around him has to compensate. That structure is: Rabiot, no pressing happening, zero urgency, just gave the ball away in the middle of the pitch directly leading to the third goal.

Aging veterans are present (Modric 40, Rabiot 30, Maignan 30, Fullkrug 33). Then there are raw kids (Bartesaghi 20, Athekame 21, some 19-year-old in the depth). Then the 25-28 bracket, the prime-age players who are experienced yet still have full physical output. That bracket is hardly represented in the defensive third of the squad. Either the veterans are firing and you get moments of brilliance. Or you get the youth exposed and it collapses completely. There's no in-between stable state. They defeated Inter 1-0 and then lost to Lazio, then defeated Torino 3-2, then lost to Napoli and then were crushed by Udinese at home.

I believe that the Zaniolo performance today should have its own moment: three goals created or scored directly. Tonight he was the most dangerous player at San Siro. Replaced at 66 minutes due to the fact that the game was over. That ought to shame certain members of the technical personnel of Milan.

Como is five points behind at the moment. Game tomorrow against Inter. Then Sassuolo, next. If Como wins both, the gap is gone. And Milan are falling in freefall at the wrong time. Six games left. Allegri returned to this club, on a purported contract until 2027, eleven years later. I am not aware of the end. But I am watching tomorrow matches with my stomach almost on the floor.

I can't really place my bet on Como to win this encounter because both sides are seriously hungry for that 3pt but if Como should get a win I think it will only happen if Inter Milan underestimate them and looking at Inter Milan last 5 games the have won 2, draw 2 and lost 1 game, it has to be balanced...let's say they're going to lose (I'm having that feeling it will happen), for Como 4 winning and 1 draw which is the game against Udinese so tell me why this game won't be difficult to choose a winner?
To me I so much want Como to get everything in that game but my fear is how good the Inter Milan players have been, the way they approach each game or opponent is different, they could use a defensive style to play Como and if they get a goal they'll feel ok and completely block everywhere for Como to struggle, we know how good Inter are when defending. I don't want the game to end in a draw but a win for Como because that top 4 they need to be their, they deserve it...like I said last season that they going to be in the European Competitions soon, this is the moment.

[shinratensei_]

What the hell is happening in the Milan - Udinese match right now?    How can Milan be losing 0-3 against them? Sometimes it's so difficult to understand this team.

I understand that they don't have a big chance for the Serie A title anymore. But still this doesn't justify their horrible performance!

I can't imagine how people who bet on Milan feel right now. This is simply betrayal.

The incompetence from the squad combined with the bad tactical gameplay was the reason. Look at how all of their CBs could not properly play in the 4-3-3 mechanism. They always leave the space for Udinese players.
Other than that their attackers never threatening their opponent. The best example is Leao. He has been underperform, and it's hard to guess what he did the entire game. He blamed pulisic when he could not click with his teammate.

I think both of coach and players deserve the blame here. A bunch of bad players can't fit well to the an exposed outdated gameplay initiated by a dynosaurus coach.
This is why i think they need to appoint a modern football coach next season and restructure their team.

Como is my favorite in La Liga and I’m gonna say this several times, they have been able to withstand the pressure coming their way by beating even the A list clubs within the league. They have been incredibly doing good and dominant in my own way. I like Como for so many reasons because they are giving Girona vibes at a point. I want to really see them successful this season for a reason, I want small clubs Thule them to also write a statement. An incredible statement which will make them qualify for the Champions League next season. You can’t say much about the clubs current success without relating it to the effort of Fabregas.

Milan showed no effectiveness in defense or attack in that match, resulting in a rather painful defeat at home to Udinese. Milan dominated the game, but they couldn't create any scoring chances, resulting in a slow pace. Udinese played defensively, but capitalized on their chances, scoring three goals. If Milan performs like this, it will be difficult for them to maintain their third-place position in the standings, as Juventus and Como have the potential to overtake them.

It's hard to say what went wrong. On the one hand, Milan didn't play badly, they had 20 shots on goal but couldn't score a single goal, so maybe that was just bad luck. On the other hand, there was an own goal and the defense played poorly, but none of us expected such a defeat. I was lucky yesterday because I wanted to bet on Milan, but I was busy and didn’t place the bet.

[Italian Panic]

That structure is: Rabiot, no pressing happening, zero urgency, just gave the ball away in the middle of the pitch directly leading to the third goal.

This is what Italian football is like these days: we pick up players discarded by the big clubs and build our tactics around them. Modrić is a great player, but they’ve also extended his contract for another year and he’ll be playing until he’s 41. There’s been talk recently that Milan and Juventus were looking to sign Lewandowski… he’s 38 too, he scored 10 goals with Barcelona and is coming to Italy to play out his final season… The Italian league is turning into a second-tier league, just like in Greece, the Netherlands and Belgium.

Few expected such a heavy defeat for Milan, especially as it came at home. As an Inter fan, of course, every defeat suffered by our eternal rivals gives me immense pleasure, and last night was an incredible treat.
Milan now find themselves nine points behind Inter and two points behind Napoli. But it will be crucial for them not to lose any more ground to the teams chasing them; Juventus are now just three points behind Milan.

[Gallar]

Don't get carried away with a win over Pisa. That could be really misleading... Because Pisa are about to relegate from the Serie A obviously. Beating them isn't an amazing work.

The real challenges are on the way for Roma. Atalanta and Bologna games are up next for them. As a reminder, Bologna eliminated them in the Europa League this year. I don't believe Roma will finish in top 4.

Yes,, you're right, my friend. Roma's victory over Pisa is clearly a very natural thing. Because Roma's performance when compared to Pisa is clearly very far apart. So, it's natural that Roma was able to win quite easily in this match. In fact,, I think Roma could have scored more goals, but because they were unable to capitalize on all their chances, they were only able to score three goals.

So that's quite good. But if we talk about whether Roma will be able to finish in the top four or not, I am also quite doubtful at this time. Because basically,, currently, their competitors are quite strong. Because currently, Como and Juventus are also eyeing a place in the top four. So, because of that, Roma, with their current performance which is not too special,, will clearly be very difficult for them to be able to compete with Como and Juventus. So, we'll see, whether our prediction is correct or not.

Again and again, AC Milan cannot maintain consistent performance, and this defeat is quite surprising because they are competing to get a ticket to play in the Champions League next season. I am not very surprised by what AC Milan is experiencing because their problem since the beginning of the season has been the inability to maintain performance consistency, and because of that, I am still speculating that the competition among several teams to be able to play in the UCL next season remains interesting, and AC Milan is still not safe.

[Uhde]

Juventus could even beat Atalanta away. Spalletti has really worked wonders for this team. They haven't lost a single match since the one where they were eliminated by Galatasaray. they’re going to spend a lot of money this summer and imo Juventus will be very strong next year.

[Velvet78]

Malen has contributed a lot to Roma this year. He scored 10 goals in 12 matches. That's a fantastic statistic. Not everyone can achieve such success in a short time in the Italian league. I think the Dutch player is showing the performance to qualify for the World Cup with his country. His performance with Roma is commendable. He also scored a hat-trick against Pisa.

Malen is indeed a very good signing on loan for Roma. They are already a team struggling to score this season. Only 45 goals in 32 games! If it weren't for Malen maybe they weren't even going to be in top 4 race...

By the way the Malen deal has an obligation to buy for 27 million euros as well. He is 27 years old which is like the golden era for a CF. As long as he contributes this way, I believe it isn't too much to pay.

[stompix]

I always said it this whole year, wait for Milan to pull some really stupid stunt at one point, seems like they've chosen the final of the league.

Not really going to get in the game of blaming the stupid strategy again, the never-ending hope of getting the ball to Pulisic so he might score, the prayer that some of the wings will have a good day, and the attacks will have an actual solution, some other candles for Leoh to get in the game, for Saelemaekers to not have two left feet and so on...
As for the genius of Allegri, he deicded to change the 5-2 exactly to the 3-3 when the other team played 5-2...brilliant!

So, right now Inter is Milan's hope of not being in danger of losing the CL placing, cause if Como wins, they are at 2 points and Juventus at 3, this would be typical Milan stuff, from title contender to UEFA placing.

To me, this feels like a surprise defeat. Milan needed to win this match to secure a place in next year’s Champions League, but now they must be careful not to be overtaken by Juventus and Como.

Milan lost the truck very badly. They have lost 3 of their last 4 matches. The result against Udinese was a completely unexpected result.

Udinese are tenth in the points table. We know that the party is not very strong. However, Milan played very badly. They may have created a lot of chances, but not a single goal. Milan have more attacking players than Udinese. Even then, they could not break Udinese's defense. Udinese won by a big margin of 3-0.

It will be difficult for Milan to stay in the top four of the table if they do not play well in the next matches. Juventus lead Milan by just 3 points. If Como win their next match they will be just 2 points behind Milan.
