Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[boltz]

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 , right now Italy main focus is to build a national team for next Euro and next world cup that's why last season was one of the driest Serie A seasons in the last decade in goals and this is the first sign that Italy is going back to their roots by playing a defensive football and that's why I don't expect anything big from them in UCL or Europa League. The one and only team who can actually win UCL from Seria A in the next 4-5 years is only Inter Milan.

Just as the Dutch league, the Italian league has also lost themselves, I mean the constant degrade most especially when we look at them in the Champions League competition. Let's also not forget how Inter Milan got humiliated during the finals two seasons ago by PSG.

C'mon man, Bodø Glimt didn't just knock out Inter Milan,  they won Atletico Madrid and also Pep Guardiola's Manchester City in the Champions League competition. They are my unsung hero's from the recently ended Champions league competition.

They reached the final last year, but suffered a crushing defeat. I still think Inter is the best team in Italy. This year they won the championship again and will want to be at a good level in the Champions League next year. Considering the teams from the Italian league trying to succeed in Europe, Inter should have definitely reached the semi-finals of the Champions League.

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.

Even if they get the whole squad changed, they are not sure to be able to still win the champions league or winning the Italian league title, the problem is never with changing the whole team, how about they focus on building with what they have already, last season with this team, they were able to achieve the much they achieved, which could mean that they can do even better if they are able to improve the team, so it will be better if the team is about better ways to improve the team than trying to change the team, it will do them more good.

For Como, qualifying for the Champions League is already a success in itself. Now the players have to start preparing for next year's Champions League campaign. Fàbregas has built a team with very high-quality players. I hope they finish in a position that will allow them to participate in some Europa League competition next year and bring us this success again. I also want to see them sign some good players.

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.

Juventus has always had the ability to get back up from difficult situations, there are many connoisseurs of football and players within the club and it won't be difficult and it won't have to be long before Juventus returns to winning ways and becomes unbeatable again it's only a matter of time.

[Renampun]

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.

The decision for Nico Paz to stay at COMO or not is not entirely his decision, but from Real Madrid, because from the news I read that Mourinho has urged Real Madrid to trigger Nico Paz's €9M buy-back clause as soon as possible, it means that Mourinho sees the potential of Nico Paz, maybe he will make him a sub. but even so, COMO still has a chance to keep him for at least one more season if the negotiations can go well, but if not COMO management can look for other player options with the money they get from their entry into the Champions League next season.

The one and only team who can actually win UCL from Seria A in the next 4-5 years is only Inter Milan.

Building means reforming Italian football a little, because when the fish stinks, it stinks from the head and not from the tail.
It means removing the management that led the national team not to play for 3 World Cups in a row, not 1, three in a row.
This is the failure of the management, not of the players or coaches.

[cande86]

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.

Juventus at the moment is much superior to Milan in terms of salaries, but this will decrease, there are players like Dusan who are highly paid and this is not possible in a team where they haven't won for a long time, they must be clear about what the exaggerated costs are for managing the team.

Italy is in a very bad situation now. Such a renowned team has not even  got a chance at the world cup. 48 teams are  participating in this world cup. It is sad and shameful for italy. Italy has failed to qualify for the world cup after losing to teams like Bosnia. Italy's target now is to do well in the  next Euro. But their overall  squad is not in a good condition. Italy has fallen  behind a lot compared to the teams in europe. Perhaps this is why they are going back to defensive tactics.

This year they won the championship again and will want to be at a good level in the Champions League next year.

Inter Milan reached the UEFA Champions League final last year but we saw them lose miserably, even in this season's UEFA Champions League, Bodo Glimt knocked out the best club in the Italian league. Anyway it is precisely the ability to turn things around in difficult situations that Inter Milan has always had, so it can be safely assumed that they will want to be in a good position in next season's Champions League. We can see that many people assume that only Inter Milan from the Italian league will be able to do well in the Champions League but this season it seems that several teams have got the chance of the UCL such as Como and Roma, of these two teams Como has been able to achieve the most consistency in the 2025/26 Serie A season, so it seems to me that these teams may also try tirelessly to succeed in the Champions League or Europa League as Italian clubs.

The strongest squad in Serie A is Inter Milan. But the performance of this team was also very erratic this season. Despite securing the Serie A title, their performance in the Champions League was unstable. Whether they will strengthen the squad next season is also not possible.

I wouldn't expect anything better from Roma, Napoli and Como on the Champions League platform. None of these three teams will be in the top 8 of the table. At most they will probably qualify for the playoffs. The performance of Serie A teams is getting weaker day by day.

Nothing move players to continue displaying what will make the club to break record, because that is what will make the management of the club not to loose such players to another club, which is what AC Milan and Juventus management need to do in this season to wake their players up. I guess their management is seeing what is happening to Juventus now, because if they fail to increase some of their players salary they may worst next season competition.

Some clu managements don't value what they have until they lose the players, because they will realize what they done to themselves, which is what Juventus and some clubs will experience soon.

Well things like that happen and it football, same Barcelona that was champions of Spain was also knocked out by Atletico Madrid, so sometimes comparing series football to knockout football is not the same. Inter Milan had a good season, they secured the League and also the league cup, they was a very good team last season even though they fell short in the champions league.

And for next season I can’t really say what Napoli and Como will do in this he champions league but saying you don’t expect anything better from them and they won’t make a top 8 in the champions league is unacceptable to me. Last season we saw teams like Tottenham and even sporting making the top 8 so we could see a similar scenario this coming season. That how unpredictable football can be.

[wakier]

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.

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.

Maybe what is meant is in the Europa League final because both of them are playing in the Europa League next season, for clubs of their class it should be the Champions League but indeed for the past 2 seasons Milan has not gotten a UCL ticket while Juventus last season still got it but its performance in the UCL was also nothing and even failed to qualify for the round of 16. Juventus and Milan have indeed seemed less ambitious to compete for the title in the last few seasons their performance has been inconsistent they really need to make changes to improve their performance.

Inter Milan has a very interesting squad and they also have the financial strength which is what most of the Italian elite clubs lack right now but the problem here is that Inter Milan hasn't been able to utilise these resources lately, they came close to winning the UCL last season after successfully eliminating Barcelona in the semis, but this season they were very poor and suffered an unexpected loss to Bodoglimpt of Norway, as it is right now, nobody knows what to expect of inter Milan next season as most of their key players may possibly leave the club.

[len01]

For Como, qualifying for the Champions League is already a success in itself. Now the players have to start preparing for next year's Champions League campaign.

For a team that is generally considered mediocre, qualifying for the UCL is already a remarkable achievement. It can help build a strong mentality after competing against some of the biggest teams. Therefore, no matter what happens, the players must be ready to face even tougher challenges. But, my concern is that Como might end up selling some of their key players, which could make the team's performances less stable.

Juventus has this natural presence, they have the fanbase, and they are a historically great team. So while they may not be doing fine right now, with right ownership and good management, they could slowly get back to being champions again and would never be too bad.

This is the team that was sent to lower leagues and then came back and won ten in a row. When you are managed well, you will be able to comeback from any problems you have. Right now they are facing some issues and that is fine there is nothing wrong with that, every team has bad periods. Juventus did alright last year, and not so good this year, I am expecting them to slowly get better with more bad players going and more good players coming in.

[jakdanyel]

I have no doubt Juventus fans are missing their dominant years a lot right now. The last time they won the Serie A was like 6 years ago!

This team have 36 championships in the league actually. Their closest follower is Inter with 21 championship. The gap is just huge...

So Juventus are really lost now. They are playing very badly for the king of the Serie A.

That was in the past the current Juventus team and management that am seeing, is not like the once of old which were full of good quality players which were highly ambitious about winning trophies. This present Juventus team is full of players that are average so has not been able to do much. For this team to do well then there should be a total overhauling of the entire Juventus setup. This will also include their management because, some decisions especially when it comes to signing of players are influenced by the teams management.


One thing that I have come to see about the Seria A, of recent season is that the league has become more competitive so any team that can't compete favorably by signing quality players to strengthen their team and remain strong can't maintain that top form in the Seria A any longer.
