Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[cande86]

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.

the managers of Milan and Juventus have not been up to par this season, especially those of Milan who were eliminated in a very easy way, and also fair i would add, this must make it clear that if you don't do your job well there is no excuse to be eliminated. It is important to give this message.

There have also been plenty of cases involving match fixing, points deductions for different financial and fair play violations, and other controversies over the years.Even so, i still think Serie A is the most interesting league to watch. The overall quality may have declined compared to its golden years, but that doesn't mean the teams are bad...

Financial problems plague everyone, no team is exempt, considering the million-dollar investments it is easier to fall.
Just one bad investment, a player overpaid but not making a return on the pitch, and the damage has been done.
Maybe next year might be interesting to watch Serie A, but this year was a disappointment, not very exciting.

It's very strange that Juventus is having such a bad time, they've always performed very well, there have been some dark years but they've always had their say, i think they'll be back as usual, i don't think there are any problems for them, they just have a team problem that they're currently trying to solve.

It's not strange at all, a team in decline since they lost the mafioso Moggi.
Now that they no longer command anything, they do their magic, they have magically become scarce and poor.
First, thanks to their criminal method, they managed to stay afloat, now the fun is over.

There are more parts of problem at Juve than just goals or defensive system. The problem is questions of identity. They dont know what type of team they want to be anymore. They had clear idea throughout nine run. Defence, finishing and experience on the pitch. All three have been lost and no replacement has been found.

Coaching changes other than holes in the team. That way doesnt work. But even new manager cant fix problem of having thin attacking options or not having any depth in the midfield. In fact, Europa League next season could prove to be good thing if they use it to develop next generation of players. However, if no big effort is made to bring in any attacking talent this summer, then nothing can be considered title fight next season.

I think Como's qualification for the Champions League was pure luck. Nobody expected Milan to lose at home. Despite this, Milan lost at home and dropped out of the Champions League group. Como seized the opportunity perfectly and are participating in the Champions League for the first time in their history, and in only their second year in the Italian league. This is quite an interesting statistic in a major league.

It wasn't pure luck, because if it was pure luck, they wouldn't have been able to get 71 points until the end of this season.. so I think it was a combination of luck, teamwork, and Fabregas's excellent strategy to be able to improve COMO's performance so far, and then in the last minutes Juve and AC Milan made blunders and allowed them to get a ticket to the Champions League. it was so extraordinary to see what COMO achieved because we rarely see a team like this go straight into the Champions League after only 2 seasons in Serie A.

I agree with on that, but I think only Milan could replicate their performance of last season. Milan spends heavily season by season, but are still suffering due to poor squad stability, and inability to offload under performing players to gain more profit. I think their boardroom signings and their manager lacks communication. The boadroom often sign players that don't match the manager's tactical system. They must sort out all these issues, before they can be recognized as title contenders for next season.

I think with the players Juventus are looking to sign in this transfer window, I expect them to compete for the Serie A trophy next season. I certainly think that if they can sign the right players, they will play better next season. They already have a good manager, so no issue concerning their managerial aspect.

all the managers were eliminated apart from a few, this is definitely a hard-fought decision, which carries forward a common thought of all the Milan fans and this is the right thing to do, these teams need to be re-founded with young Italians fighting for the shirt and Juventus must do the same if they want to win again.

This decision is quite tough but whatever has happened is good because this time many teams have not performed well. Apart from the top 5, there are many teams who have played quite badly and considering this, it is quite good and appropriate to take such a decision and it will give the teams a chance to show new strength and good performance. Milan will also try very hard in this because they will also fall behind by quite a bit this time. Of course, because this time it was not very difficult for the teams that have reached the top to win the match because the lower teams did not pay attention to their own negligence. Now the situation will be quite good and the teams will also take themselves seriously and try to play well.

You rarely see it in Serie A, but in La Liga you'll find a team like Girona that is quite similar to Como.

BTW, regarding Como's success this season, I wouldn't call it luck. IMO, Como have been building a fairly strong foundation by gradually developing the right mentality since their promotion to Serie A. That's why it's not surprising to see them secure a UCL spot this season, as they seem mentally prepared for the challenge, even though competing with the top teams wasn't easy at first.

Hopefully, Como can manage their finances and squad wisely so they don't end up following the same path as Girona in La Liga.

In my opinion, Como qualification for the UCL wasn't a matter of luck, but rather the result of their hard work throughout their time in Serie A. How could a team that was only promoted to Serie A last season qualify for the UCL this season simply by luck? Como, from the start of the season, seemed to be competing for a UCL spot and we can see that they have been in the top four for a long time. They were only a few weeks below the top four, but then by the end of the season, they had overtaken Milan and Juventus resulting in a fourth place finish.

Looking at the Serie A fixtures, Como appears to have had some luck as they won their last match, while Milan and Juventus both lost their final matches, allowing Como to overtake those two teams. But if we look at the performance of como this season from 38 matches they managed to win 20 times, draw 11 times and lose 7 times and they managed to collect 71 points, it seems strange to say that they qualified for the UCL because of luck.

Maybe next year might be interesting to watch Serie A, but this year was a disappointment, not very exciting.

The interesting part of this season only happened at the beginning of the season to the middle of the season. Many teams are competing for the top position, Roma are back, Juventus are also trying to be competitive and Milan are doing the same with Allegri, Napoli and Inter remain consistent and there is Como as a new face. But unfortunately mid-season to the end of the season one by one the team was inconsistent, especially Milan Juventus. I don't know what the competition will be like next season, but yes, hopefully there will be resistance so that Inter don't easily lift the trophy.

It actually looked so exciting during the first half of the season because so many teams were competing and struggling with each other but as the season moved on teams like Milan and Juventus struggled and that what was  made it easier for inter to pull away.

[whiteblue]

There's no doubt about it. I think there will be many teams competing with Inter next year. Inter has a very good squad, but I expect more transfers from Italian teams this summer. Because they are now longing for success, especially Milan and Juventus, and I think they will be the teams making more transfers.

The performances of Serie A teams in the last season were disappointing. No team could compete with Inter Milan for the title. The performances of giant teams like Napoli, Milan, Atalanta and Juventus were also very irregular. The most surprising thing is that Roma and Como were able to qualify for the champions league.
If they want to do well next season, teams like Milan, Napoli and Juventus will definitely have to spend money and strengthen the squad. If they cannot add talented players  to the squad, the performance of Serie A teams next season will be irregular as usual.

AC Milan will struggle to make big money moves in this transfer window because they don't have much money. Just look at some of their transfers last season, and the season before that, they relatively bought cheap players and signed free agents, resulting in a very unbalanced performance.

AC Milan will need a long time to regain their strength. They are in a financial crisis because they can't afford to buy quality players in the transfer window. Serie A teams tend to raise money in the transfer window by selling their star players to other teams. If this continues, we won't see a Serie A team performing impressively in the Champions League.

The current managerial staff of Juventus, which have been stable, has never brought the club even closer to the Scudetto. Having good coach has really helped to boost the team's confidence to be more competitive next season. It'll be the ideal combination of finding new players to fill in their needs, and neutralising their longstanding opponents.

Juventus needs to emulate several teams in Serie A, as in recent seasons they have simply not shown themselves capable of challenging for the Scudetto. Inter Milan successfully made several changes last season, which led to their success in the Scudetto and we also saw Napoli who were successful the previous season make adjustments. This season, we hope Juventus and Milan do the same, making the race for the Scudetto much more exciting and both can be included among the teams competing for the Scudetto.

AC Milan and Juventus failed to finish the season in top four even during most time of season or even very last weeks of season, they both had good advantage to complete the season in top four. These big clubs have to change many things in this summer and prepare as best as possible for a next season, because one season without money from Champions League is already terrible for their clubs' finance. If they fail to finish in top four next season, their finance will be severely affected and it's clearly not what they want to face with.
In another situation recently, U17 Italy just won a title in Europe, and it is good signal from their youth player level after big shock of absence in World Cup 2026, a third World Cup without Italy consecutively. In fact, last ten years, Italy have very good results from their national youth teams that show they did not lack of talented youth players. The problem is their clubs did not give opportunities to youth players so that these players can not grow up their career well, that eventually affected the national team quality.

Yes, if you're simply saying that Como is simply lucky to be playing in the UCL next season, your assumption is clearly incorrect. Como has performed exceptionally well this season, and even strong teams like Inter have struggled against Como. Therefore, if you're simply saying that Como was simply lucky to finish in the top four in Serie A, you're clearly mistaken. Luck alone isn't enough to get a team to this point.

The bottom line, as Renampun said, is that it's all a combination of hard work, luck, and Fabregas' strategy. Therefore,, I don't think we should underestimate Como. Getting to this position is a struggle,, and it wasn't easy. So, that's why I think we should be supporting them so they can do well in the Champions League next season. However,, you're free to make assumptions here, so it's up to you whether you believe my assumptions or not.

It is at least nice to see that Spalletti is being kept for next season... There is no meaning in changing managers very often. Especially if you have a great manager like him, you should be patient.

Not only that of course! Juventus needs to give him some good amount of budget to do some rebuilding in the squad. The current one isn't good enough for big achievements honestly.

[Nahl]

Oliver Glasner most likely will being an strong candidate for AC milan next manager even the negotiation between him and Milan is still on going. From the reputation i have no doubt Oliver Glasner is a good manager even he have done well while handle Crystal palace and bring this team to gets some trophies including Conference League which is the first time in the history

If this rumour is true i think Oliver Glasner job in Milan is very hard that because the management targetting Milan should be finished the league at least in the top 4 but besides that Oliver Glasner have to convince players like Rapael Leao or Mike Maignan to stayed i think this is important moved because if Milan lost some important players i am sure it will have any effect for the team later

its true, a speech that doesn't make sense, i understand that these are jobs that don't really bring peace of mind to the teams but its a project that must start now, now is the only time to get it started, i understand the perplexity of the big clubs but this is definitely what everyone wants to do and Milan must start doing it too.

I don't think this is what people think, Como gave a simply incredible performance and continued to do so and did so until the end of the championship, i don't understand those who say it's luck, when they have beaten teams like Milan or Juventus, decades in Serie A.
