Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[CryptoYar]

[...]

Loss of intensity you saw with Cremonese is signature symptom of team that does not have player numbers to support an energetic attacking style for 38 games. Although they displayed moments of brilliance during first half of season against top sides, they fell foul of fatigue factor. They definitely need to sign elite trainer, but if they are not able to use second and third strings, great physical trainer can only do so much to cure fatigue in tough environment such as Serie A.

I would say that Lecce are not so bad. They may be more fragile on surface, but they also have amazing tactical battle aptitude, which allows them to defend draws against teams in middle of table, helping them survive. In order to survive, Cremonese weakness was not just physical strains, but go for win type of approach that left them defensively vulnerable. For next year, it is not only physical stamina that should be worked on, but compromise between initial brilliance and more defensive minded game that can be sustained throughout winter months.

Como will face Napoli so we can expect a defeat, otherwise Verona and Cremonese are way weaker than them so collecting three points should be the minimum they can do, that's if we don't count Parma game which is feasible in my opinion. Como has a chance to stay in UEFA Champions League spot by the end of the season and it is Parma which will decide since it will face Roma too. Como shouldn't miss any other match because Roma's games are against weak teams and Fiorentina / Lazio are their serious opponents if we can say that..

why should we expect a defeat from Como, they are a solid team that shouldn't be afraid of anyone, much less Napoli, Como can certainly compete in some European competitions, this is definitely something that shouldn't be questioned, it's clear that they still have a lot to give.

[Gallar]

Como performance this season has been extraordinary even beyond many people's expectations. As a small team under Fabregas Como has managed to surprise the Serie A season. Moreover, they still have the potential to finish in the Champions League as they must remain unbeaten in their remaining four matches only one of which is a tough match against Napoli which will be played this weekend.

If Como can win all four remaining matches and Juventus loses one and draws one, they will overtake Juventus in fourth place. But in my opinion, even if they fail to finish in the top four, Como has already brought a new dimension to Serie A this season making it difficult for even the bigger teams to beat them. Como will certainly come into the team next season with renewed strength given that their owners are very supportive of Fabregas aspirations for the team.

You're right,, my friend, that Como still has hope of climbing back up to fourth place in Serie A. But honestly, I personally don't think it will be easy. Basically,, as you said, Como must win their remaining matches, and Juventus must lose one and draw one. I think that requirement is very difficult to achieve. As you can see, Juventus' current Serie A schedule doesn't feature strong teams. With that in mind,, I think Juventus will likely be able to sweep all their matches with wins.

Therefore,, I think Como will have a very difficult time climbing back up to fourth place. Even if they could sweep every remaining match, it wouldn't change anything if Juventus did the same. Therefore, Como is currently completely dependent on Juventus' results, and they must continue to play well. Because if Como loses again in the upcoming match,, it will definitely make it even more difficult for them to climb the rankings.

Lazio this season has indeed been very inconsistent, but on the other hand, I do not underestimate Udinese, so a draw result is quite fair for both teams. However, I liked the play of both teams in this match because they both played openly and offensively, resulting in many goals, and this is what I hope for in Serie A matches so that they are not boring, regardless of the result.

Like the previous season too, I can tell you this with certainty given that I am a Lazio fan.
Unfortunately the president doesn't want to spend money, because the team obviously has very high potential, good potential.
But without investments, miracles don't happen.

Yes, you’re right Juventus could win their remaining matches, because their upcoming opponents are not that difficult for them. As for Como, they have a match against Napoli coming up, and honestly I doubt they will be able to win it. So if it happens that Como lose and Juventus win, the gap would already be 6 points, and I think in that case Como could forget about a place in the Champions League. But even if they manage to stay above Roma, which to be honest I also doubt, qualifying for the Europa League would still be a very good achievement for Como.

I'm sorry for you man. It must be really a pain to watch this Lazio having the same result over and over again. They were really great in the 2022/23 season by finishing as the 2nd.

But since then they have been the 7th or 8th...    But yeah they just don't spend money. The team value is like 217 million euros now. They are like right in the middle among all Serie A teams in terms of that.

[giorgione]

They only need one more win to secure the Scudetto. Inter could even secure the Scudetto before their match against Parma,  if Napoli loses to Como. But what's clear is that this week will see Inter secure the Scudetto. The most exciting competition is at the bottom of the table, as several teams are fighting hard to stay in Serie A due to the narrow points gap.

the championship is very close and very entertaining, there will all be very strong matches where everyone will want to win, certainly those who want to go to the champions league will challenge those who have to save themselves from the relegation zone and therefore they will all be no holds barred matches.

[MAAManda]

I think besides Torino there is Fiorentina which might be difficult for Juventus to conquer, I have seen how Fiorentina play against strong teams, so far they are quite troublesome even though the performance we know is very bad this season.

You might be right because since their last 3 meetings, Juventus has never gotten full points, from the last 3 matches Juventus got 2 draws & 1 loss. But I have another POV, the next match will be played at the Allianz, it doesn't feel right for them to lose to Fiorentina who have had a poor performance this season, right?

Como one mistake was dropping points in a match they should have won a few weeks ago, maybe Como will only play for the Europa League which I think is also their good achievement for this season.

Whatever the competition, as long as they play in European competition, I think it's still an achievement for that team (Como). I don't expect much from them, the UECL is more than enough, they can grind even harder next season to get a spot in the UEL or UCL.

This week is a crucial one for many teams, not only in terms of deciding who will be relegated to Serie B and who will stay up, but also who will win the league and who won’t.
In my view, Cremonese are destined to be one of the three teams relegated to Serie B, and it makes me laugh just to think that at the start of the season they managed to beat Milan and had picked up 14 points from 10 matches – they had made a dream start to the season, yet now they’ve been sucked into the vortex of relegation.

the relegation teams have always been the ones, from time to time the ones that make their debut in the series unless for some exceptions, they always turn out to be teams that have little to do, and this leads them to inevitably go into the relegation zone, this is what happens in these cases with these squares.

It is always like that, but towards the end of the season, there are some teams that have the opportunity to avoid relegation, and they have additional motivation, allowing them to show slightly better performance to avoid being relegated.
Lecce and Cremonense are two teams in fierce competition; they are currently only 1 point apart, which means both teams still have an equal chance of staying in Serie A. These kinds of situations make the competition much more interesting at the bottom of the table, but the same situation also occurs at the top of Serie A in the race for European spots.

unfortunately 3 teams have to be relegated, a normal natural selection to allow three other teams from Serie B to come from the second division to the top division
I believe they will be
Verona, Pisa and Lecce
I honestly see Lecce as weaker than Cremonese

This season's Serie A has not been very enjoyable  for me. The performances of each team have been quite inconsistent. The  performances of the top 6 teams in the  table have been inconsistent. Inter milan have been able to  perform somewhat consistently, as a result of which they have won the title.

Verona and pisa will definitely not be able to qualify for serie A. These two teams have  managed to collect only  19 and 18  points respectively. Verona has won only  3 matches and Pisa has won two  matches.

Cremonese still has a chance to get out of  the  relegation zone. Their point gap with Lecce is only 1. Cremonese will probably qualify for Serie A if they can win two of their next  4 matches.

[Pandu Geddon]

I honestly see Lecce as weaker than Cremonese

Both situations are equally difficult. In the remaining match, what both sides can probably do is maximize the points from the game against Pisa. The other three matches certainly will not be easy for both teams. In a situation like this, even gaining 1 point will be important to help save the team and remain in Serie A next season.

[Volgastallion]

MMmm i dont see Lecce weaker than Cremonese what happens is Cremonese plays a ""better"" to see football and Lecce is more like a batling team which is always strugling to make goals, but in relegation fight is always much more relevant win points than play in good form, so for me Lecce still ahead of Cremonese who lacks the will of fight that Lecce as a team has.

If not that they are sometimes inconsistent, Napoli is not a weak side at all, they have the potential of winning Como, except for this season that we get to see some really  solid form, Como has not been such a tough side that you can suppose to be able  to win Napoli, so it is very possible to expect a defeat and see it happen but I trust Como to de very resistive with their play so as to not be won easily but even with that, Napoli still has a very good chance and advantage even as Como will be hosting.

[cande86]

Every team has its golden era. In Serie A, I actually see their competition as quite healthy. One of the most competitive leagues currently. Although in terms of performance, they might experience a decline if we look at the results from the competition in the Champions League. Investment certainly has a big impact on the progress of the league. It helps teams to be active in the competition. Inter, Milan, and Juventus are big teams in Serie A. But they all also experience ups and downs. So let's just wait and see how the Serie A teams develop for the next season.

I don't think it's as you say, the competition isn't very healthy and the level has dropped a lot, a lot of bad things are coming out about the Serie A championship and the referees, this is what I've been reading lately, i don't like it anymore and i think it's become a very murky environment, i don't recognize Serie A anymore.

[Shadiq]

It is very important for Como to win this match, if they lose against Napoli then all chances of entering the top 4 will be lost. I don't think the match is going to be easy, I agree with you that Napoli are a worthy team to beat Como and have all the capabilities to beat Como. But necessity can turn a weak team into a strong team, Como cannot afford to lose any match in terms of necessity, they have to win every match. They might not want to miss that opportunity at home.

Como has a chance to stay in UEFA Champions League spot by the end of the season and it is Parma which will decide since it will face Roma too. Como shouldn't miss any other match because Roma's games are against weak teams and Fiorentina / Lazio are their serious opponents if we can say that..

Como can take points from Napoli. Napoli is not in the kind of form where Como can't take form from them, even though it will be difficult. Como is better than some teams that have taken points from Napoli. Napoli are favourites to win the game, of course, but there is a chance for Como.

I don't think Como will make it to the champions league, even though I'm rooting for them. They will need to win all their remaining matches and/or hope that Juventus drops point. It's a strong battle ahead for them. They have to try and win all their remaining matches and see if Juve would drop points.

Yes, that’s right. I think Lecce is still better too than Cremonese. And the points Lecce has earned so far prove that they are superior to Cremonese even though the gap between them is only one point. But I see that Lecce has been fighting hard lately to avoid losing points, where they’ve managed to match the playing styles of both Fiorentina and Verona. As for Cremonese their performance seems to be getting worse. And they suffered a crushing defeat in their last match without managing to score a single goal in response. So I personally believe that Lecce is still capable of avoiding the relegation zone. And they still have a chance to play in Serie A next season given Lecce’s fighting spirit as they will have to work even harder in the upcoming matches.

[bastisisca]

It is very difficult for Como to occupy the 4th  place in the table now. Como's performance is a bit erratic now. And their opponent is quite  strong. So it is challenging for como to continue the  winning streak. More importantly, juventus is in a very good  position now. They have  been undefeated for a long time. Juventus' overall performance is quite strong now. So naturally , there is little chance for como to reduce the gap in points. Como should try not to lose the fifth  place either. If they lose  points in the next matches, como will not be able to stay  in the fifth place in the table.

In my opinion, and here i say it and here i deny it, Come is not adequate for 4th place nor adequate for the Champions League.
He doesn't have enough strength now, let alone next year without Nico Paz.
A smaller cup is better, much easier to manage.
