Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[jakdanyel]

Lecce are 4 points above relegation zone now. However nothing is still secured for them while there are 3 more matches to play. This is why I don't expect this match to be comfortable for Juventus...

Besides they couldn't even beat Verona who were a relegated team already. I think they will struggle at least the same way against Lecce away. There might be a chance for Roma to capture the 4th place.

There is a Lazio - Inter game to be underway in less than an hour... I don't care about this game though. Inter are already champions and Lazio have no goal left in the league.

However stay tuned for the Coppa Italia finale between these two! That game is at Stadio Olimpico as well which is home for Lazio. I wonder whether they can surprise us.

Inter Milan's performance in the match is aggressive, the match has been going on for 20 minutes, and Inter Milan has scored a goal in just 5 minute by Lautaro Martínez, they are shooting well, the way this match has started and the way Inter is performing, if it continues, Inter Milan will win the match. Despite being at Lazio's home ground, Inter's performance is very good, although the match has only just started, but it doesn't seem like Lazio will be able to easily defeat a strong team like Inter Milan so easily.

Lazio vs Inter Milan

Inter Milan have won the Italian Seria already even if they lose all their remaining matches. Despite that, they are still playing great football as if they are aiming for anything. First half and they beating Lazio 0-2 and are still pushing to score more goals to solidify their lead. Although Lazio is not also pushing for anything because they cannot meet up qualifying for any of the European competition, so they have no motivation to put up a serious fight against the league champions.

Inter's just trying to get a perfect win for their remaining games. I see no importance from this game for both of sides. Inter is already win its trophy while Lazio is far away from european zone. They dominated the game and they also lead the game with two nil, which i think the game is ended.
Everyone on Inter is playing perfectly, though they know they're fine even if they do nothing. So i still respect them to put their bettors as priority to win some money.

Although Lazio is not also pushing for anything because they cannot meet up qualifying for any of the European competition, so they have no motivation to put up a serious fight against the league champions.

At the end of the first half Inter Milan is leading this match by 0 - 2. They are already champions of this season but are still giving their best. Their approach is impressive in this season. After scoring two goals, they are not allowing Lazio to create problems for them in the last 8 games they are undefeated after losing the Milan derby.

Their performance is having good improvement they can end their season with double because they are having the Copa Italia final against Lazio after a few days. Today, after this game, Lecce is going to host Juventus, which is looking to cement its Champions League spot, and Lecce is looking to secure its survival.

This is one of the ways Chivu keeps the players’ mentality strong by pushing them to perform at their maximum level, score more goals, and sharpen the attacking line in preparation for next season. Maybe a team like Lazio no longer has much motivation, but they should still do the same to maintain the players’ mentality, as if training them to be ready against top table teams next season.

But looking at Lazio’s performance in today’s match, they still have a chance at least to secure a draw, as long as they use a different tactic. If Lazio keep using a defensive strategy in the second half, Inter will feel no pressure at all and will keep launching attacks while trying to score more goals.

Lazio are fall behind by 2-0 goals. I am sure they will not win the  match. I thought Chivu would rest his some of the important players of his squad today. But Inter milan are playing with their best XI. They  did not take the match lightly. Inter milan played very well in the first half and managed to score two goals. Inter Milan are still  2 goals behind after 75  minutes. Lazio are now playing with  10 players. In this situation, it will not be possible for them to draw the match. Inter milan's defense is very strong. Like this match, it is expected that Inter Milan will win the Coppa Italia final.

I don't understand why Inter Milan decided to take this match seriously after winning the league.  Inter Milan is still taken the league very seriously they are now leading Lazio by 0:3 with the third goal scored by Henrikh Mkhitaryan. The winning is now very solid and inter Milan now has 85 points that is 15 points ahead of Napoli who's in the second position, Lazio would have still tried to hold them by being more serious but I believe they're just playing without zero zeal that's why they are losing this way.

I agree with you katanic, you did a very excellent job on all 360 degree points of view.
I believe that Inter has found a new coach who will lead them towards great results.
The thing that amazed me about Chivu in any case is his great humility: a truly great man.

Inter found the same spirit as last year and the players were highly motivated to redeem themselves against Napoli, unfortunately the Champions League is a different matter and only if you're lucky can you get to the final, this is what happens to great teams but they must never give up.

Torino managed to defeat Sassuolo at home. The first half ended scoreless, but Sassuolo opened the scoring in the second half. Although Sassuolo took the lead, Torino managed to take a 2-1 lead with two goals scored four minutes apart and won the match 2-1. Since neither team had anything to play for in the league, we could say the match was played like a friendly. Still, we can say that both teams’ effort was commendable. Both teams could have chosen not to take the match seriously and not even put up a fight throughout the game.

Torino won 2-1 from Sassuolo in Seria A. In the first half Torino slightly dominated 54% possession 0.93xG 2 big chances created and missed and a total of 7 shots on the other hand Sassuolo with only 46% possession created 3 big chances and missed 8 of total shots and 1.07 xG. In the second half Sassuolo dominated 59% possession 1.18 xG and they scored early in the second half 51st minute by Thorstvedt for Sassuolo. But with only 41% possession Torino created 4 big chances and 2 of them were converted to goal by Simone in the 66th and Petersen in the 70th minute completing a comeback. Now Torino is going to face Cagliari

While the Italian league was very exciting in other seasons, this season the Italian league has lost its natural character. There is no competition for the top spot, Inter Milan has won the title with ease. Especially in the last matches of the season, every team has lost its consistency and handed the top spot to Inter Milan. Como, AC Milan, Napoli and Juventus have all forgotten how to compete. It has been one of the worst seasons for the Italian league, disappointing the fans in both the Champions League and the domestic league.

It is really great of the Inter Milan that they win the league before it's ending and I think it's all possible due to their clear focus and their consistency which makes them able to score and achieve.  And now the fight is between other teams that how they can finish their positions in the top four. Because the real battle is between the Roma como and juventus and I guess como is more favourite in this regard because the team has the potential and they can do it amazingly. There overall performance in this season was also very well and the team is very dedicated as well. Napoli and AC Milan are in the safe zone in fact after starting the season they were seems in the title race as well which shows that they are eligible and making efforts for their positions.

Italian league already done and dusted for Inter milan, the league title was secured last week but they were still playing as if it is in contentions with Napoli. I find this kind of mentality worthy of emulation, some other teams could have just relaxed and start playing the opposite thereby putting gamblers who had picked them in serious problem of losing. What Inter milan lost last season to Napoli, they have gotten this season and Napoli might want it back next season. It's amazing seeing the competition coming back to the league once again.

Lecce are 4 points above relegation zone now. However nothing is still secured for them while there are 3 more matches to play. This is why I don't expect this match to be comfortable for Juventus...

Besides they couldn't even beat Verona who were a relegated team already. I think they will struggle at least the same way against Lecce away. There might be a chance for Roma to capture the 4th place.

Juventus performed very well in their match against Lecce, where they currently lead 0-1. The first half of the match ended with Juventus holding the statistical advantage. They have controlled the game by dominating possession with around 70% so far. And there have been about two shots on target out of the 7 total shots taken by Juventus. As for Lecce they looked terrible in terms of their possession in the first half. And they didn’t have any real scoring opportunities in the first half. If Juventus continues their strong performance in the second half then I’m confident they’ll win until the referee blows the final whistle. So I personally predict that Lecce won’t be able to score a goal in the second half. And I’m sure Juventus will dominate the match even more to win.

Champion Inter will face Lazio on the road. Since Inter has already secured the title, they may rotate their lineup for this match, as the two teams will face each other again in the cup final just four days later. I think Lazio might also rotate their lineup. If Lazio does rotate, they will still have the home-field advantage. In my opinion, a draw seems like the most logical outcome for both sides. I see a high probability of the match ending in a draw. Both teams are focused on winning the cup in the final.

Inter Milan prove to Lazio that they have made up their mind to win this trophy and nothing will stop them not to achieve it, which is what they displayed today to beat Lazio 0:2 to secured victory again. I knew it that Inter Milan will lift this trophy this season, because some clubs that supposed beat Inter Milan not to maintain the first position till now started dropping points to make inter Milan to remain unbeatable to prove to other fans that they are the king of Italian league tournament.

This game make many people to lose their prediction, because they believe that Lazio must secure a goal from the game but Inter Milan players blocked their strikers not to create opportunity to secure goal because Inter Milan defenders made them not to gain access to their goalpost till the end of the game without Lazio secure a single goal from the game.

They have controlled the game by dominating possession with around 70% so far. And there have been about two shots on target out of the 7 total shots taken by Juventus.

So I personally predict that Lecce won’t be able to score a goal in the second half. And I’m sure Juventus will dominate the match even more to win.

Juventus are still in a strong position against Lecce. After finishing the first half with a 0-1 goal difference, the gap increased to 0-2 goals at the beginning of the second half. Juventus almost ensured their victory at the beginning of the second half.

However, the Italian league points table disappointed me very much. Their points table itself shows how much the league has deteriorated. In the last matches of the season, where the top teams of other leagues play their best and try to maintain their position. There, the Italian league clubs unexpectedly lose matches at the end and go down. AC Milan, who was in second place, lost points in 4 of their last 5 matches and is now in 4th place, while Como, who was in third place, is in the same situation, they are now in sixth place. However, Juventus showed their comeback, they moved up from seventh place to 3rd place.

[Slow death]

Currently, Juventus is winning against Lecce. Although they've only managed to score one goal, they still have a good defense, and the game is in the 70th minute with a high probability of Juventus scoring a second goal. If Juventus wins this game, they could have a good chance of finishing the league in second place if Napoli drops points in their next matches. However, if Juventus wins, they could also finish in third place if Milan loses.

Knowing that Milan has only won one of their last five games, I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they lose against Atalanta. This would allow Roma to overtake them, and Milan would be out of the Champions League qualification spots. I'm sure that if this happens when the league ends, the management wouldn't forgive the coach.

[meser#]

I think interest in football is declining in Italy as well. Today there was a Lazio vs. Inter match and there were huge empty spaces in the stands.
Ten years ago, we wouldn't have seen such empty stands.
Inter easily defeated Lazio. Lazio's first attack came after the 60th minute, and Isaksen couldn't capitalize on that opportunity.
Perhaps if Isaksen had been in the starting eleven at the beginning of the match, Lazio wouldn't have been so bad.
Inter won 0-3.

Chivu has done a masterful job honestly. I really didn?t expect him to manage Inter this well. It?s basically the same old Inter squad, but at the start of the season they were completely out of form. As a Napoli fan, it?s a bit disappointing because we simply didn?t have proper replacements for the players who were injured for a long time. I?m honestly convinced that if we hadn?t been hit by so many injuries and bad luck, we could?ve defended the title. But hey, second place isn?t bad either

I agree with you katanic, you did a very excellent job on all 360 degree points of view.
I believe that Inter has found a new coach who will lead them towards great results.
The thing that amazed me about Chivu in any case is his great humility: a truly great man.

I really liked Chivu too, and to be honest, I never would have imagined seeing him triumph on his Inter debut. He really surprised me! But he also has a lot of room for improvement, because in big matches he’s always struggled with the results, though not with his performances.
If I had to pick a downside, it would be the disappointing exit from the Champions League against an opponent who certainly wasn’t unbeatable.

[Mate2237]

Juventus won this game by a goal to nil and is still third on the table behind Inter  and Napoli. I think that Juventus is likely to end the season on third place. Because I don't see Napoli dropping below the second place. But what a season that the Seria A has turned out to be this season especially on the top half of the table. There has been a lot of changes which has taken place this is due to inconsistency and lack of form from most of the top teams.



But am really somehow disappointed this season, with Como because currently they sits on the sixth place on the table . Just few weeks ago they were close to making a champions League place but, has gone back down. Let see how they will perform because a win can take them to fourth or fifth place.

[stompix]

Milan is 2.15 with Atalanta tommorow, Roma is 1.55 away over at Parma!

It's still a hard call but, if Milan manages to lose in the last 3 games its CL spot after while mid-season they were still a challenger for the title and in quite a close race, then Allegri needs to go. Well, he needs to go anyhow for this disaster in the second half, but this would not just be the final drop but a rain of drops.

They play Cagliari and Genoa next, normally 6 points with bottom-level teams that have nothing to show, but with their current gameplay, you can't be sure of anything!
