Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[tygeade]

Juventus and Milan both were disappointing in terms of the way they finished the league. They both are going to the Europa League currently.

But if we look at it from a positive aspect, they have a higher chance for the title there with these teams compared to this season.    But the truth is that the quality of the Serie A is going down more every year...

That doesn't always pan out. Sometimes good teams go there, but they end up not being good for just a single game and get knocked off. I am 100% sure that they will be in top 24, and maybe one or both of them could be in top 8. But afterwards is the real trouble, one bad day and they are gone.

And on top of that, going to UCL is far more money, even if you are out of top 24 there, you still make roughly 50 million, which means to make the same, you need to go very far in Europa. This is why Milan and Juventus is not happy, plus they are not getting the money upfront, only if they succeed, which means they do not have the budget to build a good team right now, which they could have if they did great and finished top four.

I'll still not be shocked if at the end of next season, none of the two Italian teams will reach the final of the UEFA Champions League competition. Both teams had a terrible outing in the just concluded campaign and if major additions aren't made including getting a good manager, they might still not do better next season. They used to be regular teams in the UCL but at the moment, they've been underperforming.

If Como wants to improve step by step like the German league clubs then I think they need to keep their best players and buy some more. In fact, Como have been the most popular team in the Italian league this season, so we can assume that the management of this team will be committed to keeping their best players. The president of Como has already mentioned that their young potential player Nico Paz will stay with the team for another season but it could be decided by Real Madrid, if this player is linked to the upcoming Italian season then maybe it will be good for Como because according to my knowledge this player has been the best midfielder in the Italian league in the 2025/26 season and he also won the Best Midfielder award.

The whole Nico Paz situation is not up to them, there is a buyback clause and if Real Madrid wants to, they can get him. Also they need to convince Paz to stay if that's the angle they want, but to tell Paz to stay at Como instead of going to Real Madrid won't work, who wouldn't want to go there. So with the money Como already has because of the rich ownership plus the UCL entry fee they are getting, they will have a very decent budget this season. Which means, even if Paz leaves, they should be able to afford getting another good player.

Whether it's satire or a typo, both teams don't play in the UCL, so we'll never see them reach the final at the end of next season. Regarding strength, yes we need to realize that Milan and Juventus are no longer the main force in Serie A today, the problem has always been the formation of the squad, as I always say, they rarely buy high quality players, there are only a few players in the squad that can be relied on, it is not enough to compete for the title.

[Slow death]

It seems that this time Juventus might get it right with their signings. If they manage to sign Atletico Madrid's Alexander Sørloth, it would be a good signing. Alexander Sørloth probably wants to leave Atletico Madrid because he sees that he might not get many minutes in the team if he stays, and at Juventus he could get plenty of playing time. Even if Juventus isn't in the Champions League next season, it would still be a great advantage for Alexander Sørloth to be at Juventus, and perhaps this time Juventus will win the title after many years.

[CageMabok]

Hopefully that won't happen and Como can continue to deliver top results in all competitions next season, as teams like Como typically experience situations like those you mentioned, like Leverkusen's performance in the Bundesliga or several other teams in previous seasons. If Como wants to improve success, they need to add depth to their squad so they can compete with other teams. If this isn't done, it will likely be difficult for Como to keep up with competition next season due to the increasingly congested match schedule.

Como is likely already aware of the increasingly congested match schedule next season, and they will also be looking to bolster their squad through the transfer market and other means. Competing in two leagues at very different levels is incredibly stressful for a team like Como, as other teams are certainly not afraid to beat Como in any match. Therefore, Como must truly prepare themselves as thoroughly as possible for the challenging season ahead.

Juventus is one team I am mostly particular about in the Italian league, their inconsistency in the Italian league is even too obvious, I wonder how they are able  to qualify for the champions league almost every season.  Because I do not believe they will make it through  the champions league even if they get a new coach, it will take them some time before they will be able to get the team to building  that momentum to winning titles.

If Juventus really want to improve their performance and strengthen themselves, then they should do so and if Atletico Madrid also wants to give him, then Juventus should make a deal with him but the problem is that all these teams hire players and coaches according to their budget and this is what stops their success. This is a good opportunity for Juventus and if they pay attention, it can go their way and make a lot of changes. It may be possible but still it is difficult for Juventus because for Juventus, even the smallest weakness has to be eliminated then their team will be strong and we can think about the title in it. There may be a possibility of them being in the Champions League next year and if they remain in the top 3 in this year's performance.

Juventus is bigger than not qualifying for the Champions League because they're amongst the big team in Seria A and they gat the quality. It's just that they are finding it difficult to improve and maintain their performance from the beginning of the season till the end. This is why a lot of their fans isn't happy with the team. Don't be too quick to judge. They can do better if a good coach handle the team.

I would say that they have been inconsistent for years now, think that Roma have practically reached them so i would say that we are in a situation of decline.
Among other things it also seems to me that they have financial problems and therefore it is not easy to get back up if you don't have money to spend.

[bastisisca]

You?re absolutely right, mate. That?s the real big problem with this Milan side, apart from the fact that they?ve got loads of mediocre players being passed off as top-class.
The decisions made by the board leave a lot to be desired, and in my opinion they made a huge mistake in sacking Massimiliano Allegri. I?ll show you that Napoli, with Allegri, will win something next season, and Milan will be kicking themselves

Exactly, mediocre players, perhaps the best was close to retirement, obviously I'm talking about Modric.
Not to be mean, and i usually am against Milan, but truly the coach was the least of the culprits.
The fact that the management didn't understand this makes me understand that next season will be like this one, a bad season.

Milan and Juventus have thrown away an entire season, where they could have easily reached the Champions League, but one thing makes me think, it might not be a problem, it could be an advantage, winning that competition could bring a lot of money to the coffers and this means a stronger team.

Como will definitely have problems if he doesn't change the squad, i don't think he will have problems in the league, he will most likely have them in the Champions League where the players and the matches are much stronger and more difficult than all the others, i don't understand what is so important other than fixing the squad, they have to do it immediately.

[Velvet78]

The squads of top teams of the Serie A need a big improvement. That's an obvious truth. Inter have the strongest squad among them but even they might need some better players if they want to play bigger in the Champions League.

Actually they qualified for the finale in the 22/23 and 24/25 seasons there.    But we still can't overlook their being eliminated by a team like Bodø/Glimt... I just hope the title race gets some heat in the Serie A next season before anything else.

Well, I might surprise you, but neither AC Milan nor Juventus will even be participating in the Champions League next season. They actually failed to finish in the Serie A top four, ending up in 5th and 6th place. So now, both teams will be playing in the Europa League instead. That being said, given the drop in competition, Milan and Juventus are fully capable of making a deep run there, and they could definitely reach the final and even win that trophy.

Despite changing players and strengthening the team, Como will suffer a lot in the Champions League for obvious reasons. If they manage to get past the early stages, it would already be an achievement.
It should be noted that they will have a busy schedule full of important events. In the Champions League, it's not like playing in Serie A. I'm confident in their performance, but confidence is fine, but we can't expect them to be beyond their capabilities.
They certainly have the potential, but it's not comparable to a PSG to a Bayer Monaco, don't you think?

Looking at it that way, yes I agree. Playing in the Europa League could be a huge advantage for them, as winning the title could earn them over 34 million euros, the big question is, can they make it happen? English teams have consistently been the top favorites in the Europa League for several seasons now.

Juventus and Milan are two teams that certainly could have given more, but it is true that this is a consideration that very few have made, that is, they have the possibility of bringing home more results by playing in a tournament that is significantly lower than the Champion League and putting in more effort in the championship.

The whole Nico Paz situation is not up to them, there is a buyback clause and if Real Madrid wants to, they can get him. Also they need to convince Paz to stay if that's the angle they want, but to tell Paz to stay at Como instead of going to Real Madrid won't work, who wouldn't want to go there.

Which means, even if Paz leaves, they should be able to afford getting another good player.

I think it won't be long before Real Madrid redeems this player, Nico Paz, he's practically already from Real Madrid who will want him at all costs given what he's done in the last period, there are players who are clearly inferior to him and they also play as starters, i don't see why he shouldn't play.

If Milan and Juventus has the plans to teach the finals they do not just need English teams to be eliminated for them to win they have to be dedicated and ready to perform well in the competition. Aston Villa and Crystal Palace won the Europa League competition and the Conference league respectfully but before reaching the finals they were one of the best performing teams in the competition which helped them get to the finals, if the Italian teams wants to earn that amount they should start from the beginning and don't become inconsistent when they should perform well.
