Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Jaycoinz]

Mathematically, it's possible for Juventus to qualify but in reality they will need a miracle because not only their results will matter but the mistakes of teams like Milan and Como.

Juventus has ruined all the efforts made up to now, i don't understand how Sparletti can accept something like this, it's simply a team that no longer has the desire to commit to the objectives they had set themselves, this is very serious, you can't leave a team like this in the lurch.

To be fair Spaletti is part of the problem that resulted with them being here. Before they were out of UCL, they did not had a very good season, after that they had a decent streak where they won all their games and didn't lose for a long time.

But until that moment, like until March or so, they were not in the top four at all, people assume that it's bad that they are out of top 4 now because for the past 2 months they were there, but the reality is that for many more months they were not in top four.

Ok so what about the times that they now fought their way there ? It's one lost that crumbled everything for them and made their chances really slim because they were starting to play good again despite how the season have been bad for them, they were so closed of they hadn't lost to Florentina who themselves have also had a terrible season. Now it's just for them to face the truth and accept that there is no way there are making that top with two teams topping them having the same exact points.

If after a great comeback they cannot achieve the desired place, then I do not see any great advantage in that comeback. The defeat in the last match has certainly proved Juventus' fight to be futile, they still have a chance, but this chance is half luck and half skill.

In the last round, 4 teams will fight for two places. If AC Milan or Roma lose, Como and Juventus will have a chance to qualify for the Champions League. Milan, Roma, Como and Juventus must earn 3 points in the last match to qualify for the Champions League. Then Como and Juventus will have to pray for the defeat of one or both of the above teams.

No way man, what we just saw? What the hell Juventus did? How you can drop that points against a team like Fiorentina who was a total failure the whole season and right now didnt play for anything at all, now Juventus has to wait to see if they can have a place in the next season UEFA Champions LEague and is all their own fault. What a disaster for italian football.

I didn’t expect them to lose against Fiorentina in any way. I thought they would have learned something from the mistake they made to draw against Verona in the last two matches, but it is obvious that they are not ready to play amd secure their position in the next Champions League. They managed to played in this season Champions League after they missed it last two seasons, but I think they are going to miss another Champions League next season.

As it stands now, Juventus will likely be out of the Champions League next season, unless AC Milan or Roma lose their last game of the season, even with a draw in their next game, they will secure their spot in the next Champions League. Como on the other hand, they have bottled their spot in the Champions League too, they can only play in the Europa League next season.

The fight for the Champions League ticket is getting fiercer, with COMO now having a chance to grab it after their points gap with AS Roma is only 2 points. COMO only has 1 match left, to face Cremonese, and they have a pretty high chance of winning in this match considering their performance in their last matches, and if they get 3 points from this match then their points will be 71. so they only hope for AC Milan or AS Roma to lose in their match, because if one of the two teams loses, COMO automatically rises to 4th place, and that makes them officially get a ticket to the Champions League which will be history for their team.

If you are aware how Cremonese sounds tougher game compared to the Milan and Napoli opponents. Como has never been able beating Cremonese in all of their h2h. This is the game that makes me feel skeptical como can do that.
I don't underrate them but the statistic has said it all. The most important thing it's an away game for Como. So i think they have to feel satisfied with their result to play in UEL next season.

I don't have crystal ball to predict the future, but previous records sometimes matter to determine the future result. If i were to bet, i'd like to pick BTTS or Cremonese to win the game instead of Como.
Another problem is that even if they break their bad record against Cremonese by winning this. It's doesn't matter when Milan and Roma are winning their games.

Roma going to UCL on the first season of Gasperini would be so peak success story for Gasperini, we always knew he was a good manager but I thought it would take longer, if not then it is going to be great for them. But there is a lot of chances that things could change, so we should wait and see, there is still one more game to play and if Roma wins that then they are at UCL and that would be so awesome for them.

They are going to of course gradually get better too, but just like Atalanta they should keep Gasperini at Roma for like 10 years. Maybe some years won't be great, but never fire him and let him build a club wide system that will be so good that it will cause a lot of greatness for the team that will be hard to replicate.

The two teams haven’t faced each other very often, and the vast majority of those matches took place before 2018.
Cremonese can certainly be seen as Como’s bogey team, but Como are currently in excellent form and have a goal to chase: the Champions League!

[BigTarget]

I think top 7 will stay exactly the same as now after Round 38 games this week...

I expect Napoli, Milan and Roma all to win their games which are comfortable on paper. When it comes to Como, their job is really hard against a team who are still under danger of relegation. However I believe in them anyway. 

Juventus are very unpredictable. After that loss against Fiorentina, another point loss against Torino this time wouldn't surprise me. And even if Atalanta lose to Fiorentina I expect them to remain at the 7th position.

Serie A is always famous for miserable and weird results. I am also expecting changes that are looking not easy, but spots 3, 4, 5, and 6 could be really tense because they are not having enough difference points while their last games are also looking interesting. AC Milan is looking good for 3rd because they are hosting Cagliari, which is at the bottom of the league table, but AS Roma is visiting Verona, and Como is also visiting relegation zone team Cremonese.

These games look easy on paper, but still any surprise is possible at the end. Juventus is also visiting Torino. This is also looking like not an easy game because Juventus had a shocking defeat in their last game at home against Fiorentina, and this will give them some hope.

One team I still have confidence in after all of this is Milan, I know they have seem to suffer little set back but overall amongst  these contending teams, they are the ones with the best of records rhat shows that likelihood of qualification but then the others are not doing bad either but they do not have the kind of consistency Milan has that could stand as an advantage, Juventus and Roma have more of the inconsistency problem.

[LUCKMCFLY]

As it stands now, Juventus will likely be out of the Champions League next season, unless AC Milan or Roma lose their last game of the season, even with a draw in their next game, they will secure their spot in the next Champions League.

I don't understand why Juve always falters at the end. I understand that Roma deserves it, as does everyone else, but I believe that Juve is a team that should always be present in the Champions League. I think that Juve now only depends on luck. Can they advance through luck alone? I see it as difficult for them to advance, however, this is getting very interesting. It's not that I like depending on luck, but at this moment I would refrain from betting.

After Juventus lost 2-0 at home to Fiorentina, people lost a lot of money. As a result, confidence in them decreased, which I find natural. They will most likely not qualify for the Champions League next year, but for the Juve we know, they absolutely must sign the best players in this transfer window.

Believe it or not, a mediocre team like Como usually tends to lose their best form against weaker teams, but somehow they become very strong when facing top sides. From what I’ve seen, the main reason Como always struggle to beat Cremonese is because Cremonese understand Como’s weaknesses really well. Maybe that’s the effect of both teams meeting so often back in Serie B.

Picking the BTTS (Yes) option for that match was definitely a good choice. But betting on a Cremonese win is still very risky. I’m pretty sure Cremonese will try to play for another draw again.

That strength of Como against top teams, is it in the same room with us?
Inter : 2 losses
Milan 1 loss, one draw
Napoli: 2 draws
Roma: 1 win,  one loss
Juventus 2 wins

10 matches: 3 wins, 3 draws, 4 losses

More than half of their losses (4 out of 7) the whole league came from the top 5 teams, how can you claim they are strong against them specifically?

Well, he's not far from the truth because just like you can see, the only team that didn't loose points against Como this season is Inter Milan. The pressure they mount on big teams is the reason for the toughness that Leno1 is talking about. Again, Those teams find it difficult to score much goals against Como too because of the fear of conceding too. Como performed well this season against the top teams just like I will give it to Bologna too for beating Napoli Home and away this season.

Como has secured their place for European competition next season from the look of things and may even proceed to finish 3rd should Roma and AC Milan loose their last day game and Como win against Cremonese. They greatly improved this season after finishing 10th the previous season.

In the next match, Juventus will face Torino. and since it’s the final match of the season, it would be terrible if Juventus ended the season with another loss. so I hope that at the very least, Juventus secures a victory in that match. besides, Torino isn’t in particularly good form either. they even lost to Cagliari yesterday.

Juventus has done nothing to make sure that the dream that all Juventus fans, including me, would have wanted can be realized, Juventus certainly had to do more and what they have done is proof that this team and this coach are not ready to go on a big stage and that they are mediocre.

Well, they’ve been pretty average this season. they even got worse toward the end and I just remembered they were pretty bad at the start of the season, too. Spalletti has actually made Juventus a little better since he replaced the previous coach. however, he doesn’t seem to be able to get the most out of the current players. So I think the team needs to rebuild the squad and bring in better players. That way, maybe next season will be a little better. Because usually, Spalletti can make a team better in his second season coaching them, like when he was Napoli’s coach. and what I like about Spalletti is that when the team plays poorly, he admits it instead of making excuses to cover it up.

I never thought that Juventus' position would be pushed back by Como,, because before Juventus played against Fiorentina, I thought that Juventus would definitely be able to win that match, because Fiorentina is clearly not a strong team at this time. But it turns out my guess was wrong and finally Juventus lost to Fiorentina. So that's why Juventus' position has now dropped back to sixth place and it seems that if you look at the current situation, Juventus will most likely be very difficult to get back up the rankings.

Because Como also in their last match will only face Cremonese and I am sure that with that Como will definitely win in their last match. So with that, Juventus will definitely remain in sixth place. So this is really quite surprising, but even so, competition like this is very exciting. So hopefully next season Serie A can be more exciting than this, and besides that, hopefully Como can really finish in fifth place. Because with that, Como will definitely be able to compete in European competitions. So, if that happens, it will certainly be very exciting.

Juventus still has a chance but it's not enough to just have an excellent result, they must also have a lot of strength, and this time they need a lot of it and i don't think they will be able to actually win in the end so it's not exactly clear, they certainly don't deserve to access the Champions League.

What Juventus have mainly lacked this year is the mentality of a top class team and a captain with genuine leadership and qualities. Locatelli is captain, but he’s just an average player, he doesn’t possess any qualities that set him apart from the rest of the squad, nor is he even one of the best players, yet they have renewed his contract until 2030. The true Juventus captains, such as Del Piero, Buffon and Conte, were leaders and world class players; their opponents feared them. Here, we are now in disarray.

[fluffaloo]

Roma needs to go and compete in the Champions League. They are absolutely not the only ones who want to achieve this goal and i think that in the end they will succeed in some way, but i see Roma as good, honestly better than other teams like Juventus for example, which is no longer anything special.

Yeah, Roma does seem more ready for the UCL. Although I?m still not sure if they?ll be able to go far or not. it?s just that in the UCL, even teams that aren?t top contenders in their domestic leagues sometimes end up performing well. so I?m also quite curious to see Roma play in the UCL next season. But we?re still not entirely sure whether Roma will qualify or not, since it all comes down to matchday 38 or the final match of the season. but if i had to say whether Roma is more prepared than Juventus or not, the answer for now is yes, Roma is more prepared. However, i personally have a hunch that next season Juventus will improve and even exceed our expectations. Although that?s just my hunch.

But even when Roma played in the Champions League, do you think it would be of any use? Until Roma takes matters back into their own hands, participating in such a tough competition certainly won't get them far.
They will be able to say they participated, but they will not be able to compete with teams that have a completely different solidity.

Roma are more experienced than Como, and Juventus are more experienced than Roma in UEFA Champions League but it should never be a reason why Roma or Como should not participate in Champions League. They have their ambition and own targets and they have to fight for it, if they get a position in top four at the end, they will be truly deserved it.

In some seasons, Atalanta made big impression in Champions League even they are even a smaller club than Napoli and Roma. Serie A truly need to have stronger versions of both AC Milan and Juventus, but the other clubs can fight for their club positions in Serie A, chances in Champions League and their club finance.
