Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Altryist]

I didn’t expect AC Milan to lose to Cagliari, which automatically means Milan has now been overtaken by both Como and Juventus. And well, there’s nothing left to salvage in the standings because it’s now clear which teams will qualify for the UCL and which will only make it to the Europa League and the Europa Conference League.

Como has truly secured their UCL spot. and Juventus will likely have to settle for 5th place, since Como has indeed outscored them in total goals scored this season. But what’s truly heartbreaking is that Milan has slipped to 6th place.

We saw an example of what can be achieved if you never give up until the end. I think we can now say with confidence that Fabregas made the right decision by staying with the team. He believed in the team, which is why he stayed, and now his work has delivered an outstanding result. For a team like that, qualifying for the Champions League is something truly remarkable.

As for AC Milan, it’s hard to even find the right words to describe what happened yesterday. I think for a club of that size, missing out on the Champions League on the final matchday is a catastrophe.

I'm happy that Como made it to the Champions League next season because their performance has been pretty good this season and this is a good improvement for them. I didn't expect Milan to fall out from top four spot on the table because they were still on third position before the last match. They caused it for themselves because both Juventus and Milan have adopted a new pattern to become weak close to the end of the season.

i am happy too, let's hope that he asserts himself next year in the Champions League and that he takes Italy not to the final but at least to the quarter-finals. This year no one of the Italians managed to get there and it wasn't very good for our football.

Como's main goal next year will be to finish in the top 24 of the Champions League after eight matches. Even qualifying for the Champions League was a great achievement in my opinion. Como and Fabregas should now make big transfers during the summer. Because they will be going to the Champions League next year. Meanwhile, favorites for the Europa League are already emerging. English teams won't be able to win easily anymore because Juventus and Milan will be in the Europa League next year.

I do not want to call this Milan's misfortune. It's because of their consistent bad  performance. Milan is one of the renowned teams in serie A. Their squad is not weak  either. Even then their performance is very irregular. They were in somewhat good  form at  the beginning of the season. Then we saw that milan is not able to perform  as well as expected even against weak opponents. We are used to seeing such performances from them  for the past  few seasons. So I am at least happy that  they could not qualify for the champions league. Milan management  should strengthen the squad more.

They won't qualify for the Champions League, so the management may part ways with some players. They also need to acquire new players and build a higher-quality Milan squad. Juventus experienced something similar; they also failed to qualify for the Champions League, and their goal now is to be a better team next year. Therefore, we might see more transfers from Italian teams at the end of this season.

A very big catastrophe, they were at the top four for so long that I thought bad as it gets they’ll surely end up in the top four. But it’s so disappointing to see them lose to Cagliari on the last in which they needed all the three points… shameful for a club of such pedigree.

Big Congratulations to Como, they gave it their best shot and they totally deserve the reward of their hardwork. I watched the speech of their coach Cesc Fabregas giving all the praise and accolades to the players, they made it happen. He’s going to make a great coach in the future.

[pewboy]

As I previously said I can confirm two things: I'm a Juventus supporter and I have no problems saying that we didn't deserve to qualify to the Champions League, we we've already been lucky last year; I am actually happy we're taking part of the Europa League because we have some serious chances to make it till the end.

no, the qualification was not deserved at all, i am also a Juventus player and i am terribly sorry that all the Juventus players are suffering at the moment, but the work they did was quite painful, i don't like how they behaved and i don't like how they are facing all the matches and commitments.

[Renampun]

COMO has made history by qualifying for the Champions League after winning against Cremonese and the result of Juventus being held to a draw... this is an extraordinary achievement because they have only been in Serie A for 2 seasons and they immediately managed to break into the Champions League, even surpassing the achievements of AC Milan and Juventus. Fabregas has really done his job and even from their last training video that I saw, he continued to convince his players that his feeling said that next season they would play in the Champions League, and they succeeded to make it happen.

[Jossque]

Juventus and Milan will not qualify for the Champions League. Milan, in particular, lost at home to Cagliari and squandered their chance. I didn’t expect Milan to lose at home. Cagliari put in a really good performance. By taking 10 more shots than Milan, Cagliari showed us just how much they wanted to win. Had Milan won, they would have qualified for the Champions League, but they handed the opportunity to their rivals.

I had considered that Juventus might miss out on the Champions League, but I didn’t expect Milan to make such a mistake in such an important match. Cagliari really played very well, they showed a strong performance, and it was clear that their desire to win was much greater than Milan’s. It’s very strange to see such a game from a team that was aiming for a Champions League spot. Maybe there’s something we don’t know, maybe something is going on inside the squad? I think there must be some explanation for such a defeat, matches of this importance are not usually lost just like that.

And of course, I want to congratulate Como on qualifying for the Champions League. It’s a huge achievement, and I’m happy they managed to do it.

Milan must have become too complacent. There's no other explanation for their home defeat. Last week, Juventus also lost at home. So both teams have lost their Champions League chances by losing at home. Now all they can do is wish Como good luck and success in the Champions League. Como, on the other hand, achieved a magnificent success in their second year in Serie A, qualifying for the Champions League. Hopefully, they will repeat this success next year.

in the end Como succeeded, he achieved the feat!!
He managed to get into the Champions League, taking places away from Milan and Juventus.
congratulations to them, they deserved it
Milan, no big deal, will play a cup and will recover slowly, I hope that the Milan and Juventus clubs don't do anything stupid

Juventus still hasn't overcome its striker problem. They're struggling to score goals. They need to pay a very high price to bring in a good striker this year. Otherwise, they will continue to be a team that can't score goals in Italy. They can't get enough efficiency from their wing players. They need a good striker. Especially towards the end of the season, they need to be in better shape, but for the last two years they've been performing poorly at the end of the league. This year Milan showed a similar thing, losing at home in the last week and therefore dropping in the Champions League standings. Como, on the other hand, achieved the difficult task and will be in the Champions League next year.

As Como now qualified for UCL, I hope Fabregas will 100% stay at Como. At least for 2-3 more years. The CEO of Como already gave him the green light if he wants to leave. But the UCL next season would be a new big challenge and experience for him as head coach and manager.

Como's performance this season was so great. They are the team with the least conceded goals in Serie A. Another fairy tale journey for Como, from starting from Serie D, 7 years later qualifying for UCL.

The cost Djarum Group spent to acquire Como was ?850,000 back then. For comparison, Mbappe's salary is ?600,000 per week at Real Madrid

obviously fabregas will be able to stay also to enjoy the arrival in the champions league, this is fundamental to bring the team to a higher level, I'm happy that they went there and also dominated the series, i don't know how many years something like this has happened, absolutely fantastic.

Como has fought incredibly this season, they earned a spot in the Champions League, but it seems they also need to prepare their team for more competitive competitions. In recent seasons, we have seen Como continue to improve. From promotion to Serie A and managing to survive, to this season, competing at the top of the standings. Next season, we await new surprises from them.

Comos commitment to their position has paid off, they are indeed very deserving of the finish they got this season for a mid table team that they used to be and now they are now like a top table team, Fabregas is building a really solid relationship with the players by virtue of this accolades he is giving them, they will understand that their coach does appreciate their performance and it will fuel them to doing better.

Juventus is now the epitome of inconsistency across the Italian league and it has been their pattern for a long time now except they are going to change by next season.

I hope they pull off some more surprises. But we shouldn't forget the Girona example. A team that once competed with Barcelona and had a chance at the championship ended up being relegated this season. Therefore, Como must continue with a very good structure and tactics. Otherwise, like Girona, who played in the Champions League, we might be talking about their relegation from the Italian league in a few years. I hope their success is lasting. The quality of new teams brings excitement to football.

Any reliance of single wing play without deadly central attacker utterly debilitated an attacking system against disciplined Italian low-blocks.
I believe it is no longer choice as manager as to whether to spend such premium capital on world class striker or not. It has become necessity to survive. Contemporary football cruelly penalizes presence of predictable attacking formations. Even when conventional heavyhitters flound because their squad organization was flawed, when up and comer like Como makes historic step towards Europe, it reminds us that harmony and momentum of tactic are worth much more than reputation. Lack of focal point in box only makes control just an illusion.

Como had come too far this season not to know what to do to solidify their team and their squad depth for next season, they are in the champions League now which is going to keep them very busy with the number of games they will be playing in all competitions so I expect their manager to be very active in the transfer market so that they will give their fans and supporters more reasons to keep supporting them after making them proud this season.

A very good end for Como at last, I personally anticipated such a scenario where Como would play in the UCL and finally it came to pass, this Como side was really outstanding this season and they actually deserve to finish in the UCL position, it would have surmounted to some sort of football injustice if Como hadn't qualified for next season's champions league, this Como side is progressing with a very good pace and I expect to see them do better in the UCL next season, finally the young Italian dreamers have achieved a milestone.

Milan did everything they could to avoid being in the Champions League next season. They only managed one win in their last four matches. Yesterday, they took a 1-0 lead in the second minute against Cagliari but lost 1-2. Even a draw would have secured their Champions League spot, but because of the defeat, Como became the last team to qualify.

I'm much happier that Como qualified for the Champions League.
4-5 weeks ago, Juventus and Milan were the biggest contenders for the Champions League, but neither team could capitalize on that advantage.

I think Milan and Juventus will rebuild after the World Cup. Juventus needs two quality strikers.

I'd give Juventus a suggestion: sign Högh, who plays for Bodo, and put him in your attack. He'd contribute much more than David.

Milan and Juventus were unable to take advantage of the opportunities they had during the championship, these players could also have won the championship but they gave up and threw away the points against very small teams, while Como surprised everyone with victory after victory one after the other, arriving in the champions.
