Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Lillominato89]

These days we don't see much drama for the title race, it is either teams struggling to escape the relegation zone or teams to fix themselves in the champions league spot, these are the battles that are making the end of this campaign interesting to watch. Juventus have made a similar mistake in the past and now they find themselves in that same path of paying for their mistakes. This shouldn't have been them trying to move in that top 4, they had everything they needed to stay at the top 4 but some crazy games they're suppose to win didn't go their way like this game they lost to Fiorentina, it should have been them leading that encounter, can't really say what went wrong in that game and now they need that miracle to play UCL games next season, the teams above are also hungry to book a spot in the top 4 so let's see if the miracle will occur on the last day for Juventus.

Mistakes cost money, especially if they make more than one during the season, catching up eventually becomes nerve-wracking.
Milan seemed to be able to achieve something, as every year they promise us they will win the Championship and instead one mistake after another and one disappointment after another.
That's fine, i just hope that next year, in addition to the kind words and promises, they bring home concrete results. We fans have high expectations, at least we hope so.

Unfortunately, Milan are overrated; they have a good squad with talented players, but their squad depth is lacking.
Take away the first-team regulars and you’re left with a mid-to-lower-table side. That’s their big problem. Every year they declare that they want and need to win the Scudetto, but come December the same thing always happens: their performances drop and they miss out on their targets.
The only positive thing this season has been the wins against Inter – and that’s it.

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!

I've seen a lot of excitement here on the forum about Como, and not just here, but the ESPN commentators are also speaking very highly of the team. Right now, they're playing spectacularly, and I think they can do much more. I know there are teams with more history, teams that have stood out more, but it wouldn't surprise me if Como could do everything possible to enter a major competition because of that pace they're galloping at like the best. Everyone has a very good opportunity.

Como is one of the most important teams in Italy this year. Although many teams seem much better than them, they've fallen behind. They still have a small chance of going to the Champions League. Frankly, I think they'll go to the Europa League. I think they'll be successful in the Europa League next year as well. Of course, for them, reaching the quarter-finals would be considered a success.

Juventus are in this situation because of their own mistakes. They should have taken three points at home against Fiorentina. When you lose a match like that, your rivals can push you down the Champions League standings. You then find yourself waiting for them to drop points. However, these situations usually lead to undesirable results, meaning Juventus will most likely not be in the Champions League next year. They have a high chance of winning the Europa League. I think we should already be discussing their place among the Europa League teams next year.

Too many points dropped in matches prevented Juventus from qualifying for the Champions League and the defeat to Fiorentina could have been avoided if they had capitalized on several scoring opportunities. With one match remaining, Juventus' chances are even slimmer, as hoping for Milan and Roma to fail to win their final match is very difficult. Furthermore, Como could also have the same chance if Milan and Roma fail in their final match. The Europa League is much more realistic with only one match remaining and Juventus' chances are much greater because no one can overtake them in the standings.

Juventus still have a chance to finish in the top 4 of the table. Because they are only  2 points behind. But the road to qualification is quite  complex. First, juventus must win their last match. And secondly Milan or Roma and Como must be defeated. If milan and roma lose and como and juventus win then como and juve will still qualify for the champions league. But Roma and Como have been in good form  for a long time.
Roma will  play against Hellas verona and como will play against cremonese. Both opponents are weak. And that's why Juventus' chances of qualifying for the champions league are slim.

Yes,, it's been a long time since Milan won the Serie A title, and that's certainly a shame, because they are a big team in Serie A. But seeing them consistently perform inconsistently makes me wonder if there's a problem with their squad. Because in recent seasons,, Milan doesn't seem too serious about improving their performance. Because basically, the players they brought in can also be said to be ordinary players, maybe Modric is an exception, because he is a great player.

But the problem is that Modric is also very old now. So that's why he might only play a role in making the midfield players in Milan have experience from him. So that's why I think Milan is currently not doing well. But even so, I still appreciate them now, because they have managed to be in third place now. Because when compared to the previous season, Milan's performance is clearly better now. Because in the previous season,, Milan was only able to finish in 8th place in Serie A,, which was clearly very bad. So seeing them back in the top four, I think it's more than enough for this season.

the points lost along the way are just Juventus' fault, there is no way to return to being great if they approach the match in this way, I must say that however no one expected Como to have such a championship, it is essential not to lose hope and to try until the end is important for them..

[dezoel]

Como plays Cremonese, which would be very difficult for them to lose that game, Roma plays Verona, which would be very hard for them to lose that game, and Milan plays Cagliari, which would be very difficult for them to lose that game.

I think it's clear that we are going to see all of these teams end up playing and winning their games and Juventus could get a win and still be in Europa instead. Which is not great I know but at least we know that Juventus winning doesn't change a thing, so they should have less stress on this game.

Focusing on Como, I don't think they'll win easily. Cremonese also has a strong objective to win this match. They're currently in the relegation zone with 34 points, above them is Lecce with 35 points. If Cremonese can win the match, they have a chance of avoiding relegation.

On the other side, Como actually still has an objective, but that objective isn't strong because it must be influenced by the results of other matches (AS Roma & Juventus match). Well, Cremonese - Como match is really an interesting match to watch.

Cremonese has their relegation fight and with one point less than Lecce, they must win this match to stay in Serie A so it is very big motivation for Cremonese to play their last match in this season with everything they have. It will not be an easy match for Como even they are truly stronger than Cremonese but Como with two points less than AC Milan and AS Roma will have to win this match, and wait for results from above clubs to know whether they will finish this season in top four.

Both clubs in this match want three points and it will make this match between them very exciting. A draw will be a very disappointed for both Como and Cremonese because it won't help them get in top four or exit the relegation zone.

[Volgastallion]

I want to see Como reaching the Champions League but like one guy above say is gonna be super difficult to clinch it since they play against Cremonese which is fighting for their last chance to saty in SerieA, what are they gonna do under Fabregas coaching? Going fully forward and seal the spot or wait to see what Cremonese do and in their necessity counterattack and win the game.

They’re moving forward slowly and methodically. The club is financially sound and doesn’t make reckless spending decisions. They’re also trying to draw fans to the stadium and build a culture. It reminds me of Parma in the 90s, I hope their fate doesn’t end up like theirs. I really like their transfer policy. The team needs players who get the job done, not just those who are money-hungry. Fabregas’s technique, and intelligence speak for themselves. If Como continues to progress like this, it will remain one of Serie A’s most intriguing teams and sustain that status.

The difficulties are not just reaching the Champions League
Como 1907 has an inadequate stadium and they have already started to dismantle and fix it to make it compliant with European regulations.
It will be a race against time regardless of which cup he plays for
and if he doesn't succeed he will have to play the matches elsewhere..

Attention has now shifted to Como and Juventus and Milan and Roma, two of these four teams could achieve completely different results based on the next matches.
One point difference is enough to turn the situation upside down, Juventus was still disappointing, Milan even if with two more points disappointed me so much, i had so many expectations at the start of the season.

[kennycryptoitalia]

But they have been bringing home the domestic title even while promising  the champions league, it is only  a matter of time and they will  be bringing home the champions league too, their performance in the champions league has also been really impressive so they just need some extra consistency and improvement, and it will not be long the champions league dream will turn reality.

They say what you sow you reap, time is galantuomo it's just a matter of accepting defeats and putting in a lot, and the effort is never enough, it must be accompanied by mentality, strategy and tactics.
It seems trivial, but it's not easy to match all these characteristics, maintain harmony in the team, and try to guide everyone towards the winning result. In this case, the role of the coach is crucial; they can do it, and they certainly will.

Como have being very exceptional this season hence the reason for all these excitement from football's enthusiast, I think we all share similar sentiments about this Italian team that have not only competed very well but has also shown that with hard work and commitment anybody can achieve something big. I think Como will beat Cremonese comfortably if not for anything but for the fact that they want to play in Europe should be enough motivation for the team.

Of course, for them, reaching the quarter-finals would be considered a success.

I see that compared to the Champions League, they are more suited to being in the Europa League, because we know what kind of teams are in the Champions League, even though it would be great if they qualified for the Champions League, but their current position is that they only hope that Roma and Juventus will lose their next match and they win against Cremonese. but if they enter the Europa League then they can still qualify for the further rounds, and even if they enter the quarterfinals it would be very good because historically they have never entered any European competition.

[bastisisca]

I do understand why this would feel like it is not going to be easy to handle for Juventus. They spent months in UCL period and now they lost just a single game and they will be out. That's of course going to feel quite unfair to them and I understand why they would feel that way, but that doesn't mean that we are going to see this be any change at all.

We should be considering this to be something that would be normal and not a big deal at all. I understand Juventus itself will feel bad, but in a league this compact and close, it snormal that one game would decide something so major. Spaletti is in trouble if you ask me, finishing behind Como is not something that Juventus can swallow easily, so that's a big deal.

Oh God it's not bad luck, they played badly at least in the first half of the championship, not terribly bad.
Obviously those points are lost forever what do you expect?
The other teams are eager to play in the Champions League and the competition serves precisely to reward the most deserving..

[asriloni]

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 needs is miracle to play in UCL. Even if they beat their opponent with 100-0. It means nothing when Roma and Milan are not dropping points against their weak opponents(statistic).

So the main requirement is that they have to win while top 3 and 4 have to drop points. So they have literally 1% chance to make it happen, and it's depending on their luck.

It forces their play to play seriously while at the same time pray with the good their rivals drop points.

Como is currently a team often discussed by people, even observers, due to their consistent development since their promotion to Serie A. In their first season they demonstrated their ability to overcome tough opponents, ultimately finishing in 10th place. However, in their second season their improvement has continued from the start of the season they consistently ranked in the top 5 and currently still have hopes of finishing in UCL.

Como chances of qualifying for UCL are certainly not easy as they will face opponents struggling to escape the relegation zone. Cremonese chances of escaping the relegation zone depend on beating Como and hoping Lecce loses to Genèno. Como chances of finishing in the top four depend on beating Cremonese and hoping Milan or Roma lose to their opponents. The final match of Serie A will undoubtedly be a tense affair for teams struggling to finish in UCL and those struggling to escape the relegation zone. I think Como performance this season is very impressive even if they fail to finish in the UCL zone, in my opinion finishing in the Europa League is also not that bad for Como.
