Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[$weetne$$]

Serie A has become the most boring championship of the top 5 leagues, championships like La Liga or Bundesliga even if they have gradually begun to evolve, with a more competitive game and not purely defensive as can be seen in Serie A, also giving much more space to national talents, thus making the national team itself grow, a problem that has been ignored for years now in Italy and which is seen during international competitions.

I do not know the grounds on which you refer to Serie A as boring but to me, I do not think it is actually,  if not for anything,  for the fact that they have some atom uncertainty at the beginning of the season,  is enough to not see them as boring.  We have the likes of Ligue 1 that you can tell even from now that the season is not started yet, that the chances a particular team will win is just so high above 80%, that is very close to boring,  if not boring itself,  but the Serie A is slightly different.

I think it will be difficult for Como to divide their focus between the two leagues they’ll be competing in. They might be able to pull off a bit of an upset in the Champions League given that their strong confidence. But I personally doubt that Como will be able to advance much further in the subsequent stages of the Champions League because they have a very demanding schedule. And I think they should focus on just one league to avoid a drop in performance. Otherwise they might run into trouble if they push themselves too hard to compete in both leagues. On the other hand Como might choose to focus more on Serie A to avoid being easily eliminated and even falling into the relegation zone. And they might still be able to hone their skills or even gain experience to compete in European competitions. But if they get relegated it will be difficult for them to achieve any of those goals.

Prioritizing serie A and keeping UCL matches as a formality or simply to gain experience is the best approach. That way, Como can still compete for a top 4 finish and generate profits to continue improving their squad. Only in this way can Como profit from continuously improving their players and becoming more popular in the future. But, it all depends on the club's plans, and if they have to focus on those two competitions, it will be difficult for Como to compete for a top 4 finish.

Juventus is a club with one of the most important football histories both in Italy and in the world, it is not right to discredit it in this way, it has been years that it has not found a way out of this stalemate but i believe that it depends a lot on having put incompetent people in the wrong roles, and this is true both on and off the pitch.

In history they have good ones but how long has it been for them without overcoming what has been dropping them behind, actually there is an extent to depreciation in club and history becomes unimportant for people to make anything out of them because even if they can't win the league but have they also actually been focused on getting upper step at every season they are in the Serie A league?, I was ones Juventus fan but since they don't have much credibility I felt to leave them do what they were doing until they would be worthy for someone to discuss how improve they have become. They are too lazy on everything both in signing.

Fabregas certainly has the right decision to determine how to proceed next season. Realistically, it seems like Como will be very difficult to compete in the UCL, especially with their limited depth, especially since this is their first time playing in the competition. Therefore, Fabregas will make a realistic decision to prioritize Serie A. They don't want to be in the UCL for just one season. He has big plans for Como ensuring they can consistently finish in the top four every season.

Furthermore, Como is still a small team with limited depth. Building a stronger foundation first is far more important than forcing themselves to focus solely on both competitions which can overwhelm them and ultimately lead to inconsistent domestic performance. This is similar to when they were first promoted to Serie A. Their first season's goal was simply to stay in Serie A and their first season was to finish in the Europa League, but they ended up finishing in the UCL places.

I don't see the final phase very well, in fact Argentina will never reach it, i am convinced of this, there's England who seem very convincing to me, and who i think can go a long way in this tournament, Argentina is in my opinion not comparable to other teams and absolutely deserves the final.

Argentina are the slight favourites given that they are the last team to have lifted this prestigious title, but many comments also speak of refereeing injustices towards the rivals faced up to now. England will be the first top-tier team to face Argentina, for this reason i believe that England have more to prove than other teams.

There are a couple of signings made by Milan so far and the fee amount they spent has already reached a little over 100 million euros... How much do you think they will spend in total after bringing Amorim to coach them?

Prioritizing the Serie A is the same for pretty much every team competing in multiple tournaments in the same year. Even for the last champion Inter!

Como wouldn't see the Champions League as formality though. They are already rich I know. But still they would like to make as much money as possible there.

[giorgione]

Financially, Serie A isn't doing as bad as people think. Yes the top is not making as much as the top of other leagues, yes nobody has the money that PSG has or Bayern has or Real has or Arsenal has, yes that is the case.

However, when you go lower, only premier league has better. In Spain, only real and Barcelona has money, maybe a bit Atletico Madrid, that's it. In France, only PSG has money, in Germany only Bayern does. In Italy, the top may not be as big as the other leagues but the top five if you compare, is closer to each other for the other leagues.

the problem from Serie A is the oldskool style rules from the league board management. player eligible rules, sponsorship and most important is stadium. just a few club in Serie A that have their own stadium. mostly the stadium is rent from local govern. just look the different from PL teams. almost all PL teams own and manage their own stadium.

no, in fact we cannot say that it is that bad, Serie A is still an excellent championship where there are a lot of investments, and there are fantastic players, but this only happens in very few teams where there are teams that invest, the rest are few and not all of them manage to do it well, and they risk not signing Italian players.

No doubt about Como is small team, but you have difference view how most active at window transfer by signing top players and Como have significant development than top Serie A team in transfer window activities. Como need short time only after promoting to Serie A for getting the Champion League spot standings because the management seriously prepare team and reach higher standings position.

Next season will participants at Champion League for the first time appearance at Europe tournament and Como preparing well sign new players, I see Como so far the only one of Serie A team have good financial and not difficult for signing new players by spending much fees transfer.

The Serie A competition is still ranked 3rd or 4th as an interesting tournament, but we also cannot close our eyes to the fact that Serie A's popularity is slowly declining, in every transfer window, Serie A teams do not spend much on players, which results in the competition being somewhat less competitive, policy improvements are needed in the league so that they can regain their popularity and compete more competitively, especially for European competitions. I grew up when teams like Milan, Juventus, Inter and several other teams were in their extraordinary period.

[KTChampions]

Hmmm... Starting?   Serie A is long behind La Liga, and there's nothing to discuss. There's been nothing to compare it to for the last 20 years. Even if Mourinho came and made Inter the Champions League champions (that was 15 years ago, by the way, haha), even then La Liga had the biggest stars (Ronaldo, Spain's greatest generation) and the biggest banners: Real Madrid vs. Barcelona and Ronaldo vs. Messi.
Serie A has been gradually losing its glory since the 1990s. And it seems this process is irreversible - I remember last season (that excruciating football, a ton of goalless draws) and I don't know who wants to watch it.

Serie A has become the most boring championship of the top 5 leagues, championships like La Liga or Bundesliga even if they have gradually begun to evolve, with a more competitive game and not purely defensive as can be seen in Serie A, also giving much more space to national talents, thus making the national team itself grow, a problem that has been ignored for years now in Italy and which is seen during international competitions.

Friend, Serie A is as far from La Liga and the Bundesliga as it is to the moon Even though Napoli have won a couple of titles, Juventus' dominance has been erased and the league overall looks competitive. As I've already written, the quality of play isn't what you want to watch. Even in the Premier League last season, there was a record number of goalless draws, but in Serie A, the figure is even more extreme. Among the top 4 leagues, Serie A is in last place in terms of average goals per game. Firstly, the fans don't like this, and secondly, it's evidence of the overall low level, modern football is about scoring goals, not catenaccio.

[AYOBA]

The Serie A club is very boring when it comes to the Champions League, they don’t give their best performances the way the fans expect them. All the Serie A teams in the Champions League last season were eliminated before the quarterfinals. The most surprising thing was the Inter Milan team that was eliminated by Bodo. Inter was very disappointing last season.

But my question is that why is that the Serie A always boring on like other leagues? Because I has been observing this for a long time now and up today there’s no any changes , that’s why we can see even the teams that are in their best form they don’t see their performances just because the league is very boring. That last season if they told me that inter Milan will be eliminated Bodo that everyone knows their not in a good form I will not believe, but look how their performances goes against Bodo it was very discourage.

After the failure of last season, the quality of Serie A is definitely in question. The performance of these teams in the Champions League was very poor, the top teams were the first to be eliminated from the league. Even in the previous season, Inter Milan reached the Champions League final but suffered a miserable defeat against PSG, in a match that was not even contested. We are not getting any good news about the upcoming season either, we are not getting any rumors of star players being signed by the teams. We will have to wait and see how they perform in the upcoming season.

[Hyphen(-)]

With the Serie A 2026-2027 season approaching, Serie A teams are active in the transfer market, both selling and buying players. Juventus continues negotiations with PSG for Randal Kolo Muani. Lois Openda will leave Juventus in the coming weeks.. I don't know if the next season will be good for Juventus or not. But honestly, I hope the club's management can significantly improve its financial management and attract sponsorships; only then will they be able to sign many good players and return to the top.

Bologna will sign Nigerian player Rahim Alhassane, who plays for Real Oviedo. Alhassane is 24 years old. He is very young and plays as a defender. From what I've read, it's guaranteed that he will move to Bologna.

I am impressed seeing how active the Serie A teams are in the transfer market, they have noticed that their league is losing its relevance and reputation because they don’t have fans like they used to have in the past and most of the teams that are good before have now feel relaxed and let the competition too weak.

If they both stayed active and sign more players, we can see a better competitive league next season. If Milan, Juventus, Roma, Inter, Napoli, and Atalanta can all be in the same form next season, the league will be tough; unlike last season where the competition is not as competitive as other leagues.

I will want the Serie A to be as competitive as the Premier League or the Laliga so that we can have more fun watching their matches because it’s annoying like this as there is no much competition on Serie A.

Many Serie A teams have already started preparing for this season, but I can see that the gap between the various teams is still just as wide as ever! In fact, to be honest, even the favourites to win the Scudetto have weakened a little, such as Inter

Serie A is not a boring league. Apart from the Premier League and La Liga, Serie A is one of the three toughest leagues and interesting league to watch. It is only that, this season, most Serie A teams performed badly in the Champions League. In the last two seasons, it was Inter Milan that reached the final against PSG.The problem now is that the other top teams playing in the Champions League are not really in great form. They hardly go far in the competition. Bodø/Glimt eliminating Inter Milan doesn't mean Inter were a bad team,it just happens sometimes in football. No matter how good a team is, luck can also play a part.

The new season is near, and the Champions League will start a few weeks after the season begins. We will see how it goes next season. Last season, Inter Milan didn't pay much attention to the Champions League because, in the previous season, they lost all their domestic trophies after focusing too much on the Champions League. That was a mistake they tried to avoid last season. But now that they have won Serie A, it's possible they will focus more on winning the Champions League next season.

Now go check out what is going on at Girona. One season in La Liga 3rd, qualified for UCL all excited. They ended up in sixteenth place last season. Their objectives were cut in half. Nearly got relegated. These guys had real La Liga experience, not some on-the-job training.

Brest is actually the more hopeful comparison here. They went from 3rd place in the country to 9th place, but were still in the UCL playoffs. Lost points in the league but made the European money and moved on. This sounds like the real template for Como.

I agree with you that the longer vision is more important. Fabregas and the sporting director both extended their contracts to the end of 2028. Also, I do not believe he will give up on European games for the sake of the league though. Not from him. This is a guy that played under Guardiola and Wenger. It is not just Tuesday evenings when competitive DNA turns off.

A common mistake we make when betting on sport is to simply bet on headline without understanding nature of that match. The problem is that Serie A has always been one of the most tactical league in the world. If midfield is out of control or opposition’s defence is very organised then nothing can really be achieved with a spectacular attack.

This is why I am more keen to analyse the pressing, transition and defensive organisation of the teams rather than blindly relying on popular prediction. You will find many online football expert in online who make these matches look too easy to click on. But football is not that simple. If we want to bet more consciously then we need to stop blindly believing every scoreline prediction available online. And we need to analyse in depth how the team are playing on pitch.

It's still a surprise how nobody talks about how Serie A declined so fast like there was never a time it was the best league in the World. You would see players like Maradona, Roberto Baggio, Zidane, Bautista, Allesandro Del Piero, Maldini, Ronaldo Nazário and many others. At that time, clubs from this league were the favorite to win the Champions league and one always qualified for the finals in the Champions league which was really remarkable for the longest of time.

The more Premier league media got more popularity and the scandal of match fixing occurred as at 2006, the Italian league started to lose its spark. The current Italian teams are nowhere compared to Premier league or Spanish teams, it would definitely be a long ride to retain their lomg lost glory. Would a time like the 80's when the Italian teams were in control ever come again?

[chinhar]

Juventus is a chaotic club in Serie A. They have too many on- and off-the-field issues, which always keep them in the media. Match-fixing and book issues are also done. This makes this great club a shame in soccer history.

In the last few years, they have been consistently falling down; this is now a big problem. Despite having a few good players, results are not coming because mostly players are not good for this club and having good results, but their situation is also not good, which helps them for having good players. Now, how this could be going to set is a big question because funds are essential for having success. For the coming season, a few clubs are already preparing and bringing good players, but this is not happening for all; a few are just watching.

Juventus is a club with one of the most important football histories both in Italy and in the world, it is not right to discredit it in this way, it has been years that it has not found a way out of this stalemate but i believe that it depends a lot on having put incompetent people in the wrong roles, and this is true both on and off the pitch.

There are too many internal problems in my opinion when Juventus is in the hands of this person (John Elkann), problems after problems always arise when John Elkann becomes the main owner and appoints people who I think are incompetent to manage Juventus, even though this season Juventus and John Elkann's statement saw Juventus' slump in several seasons and not qualifying for the Champions League was a heavy blow for Juventus and the fans, John Elkann with Giorgio Chiellini agreed to give full authority to Luciano Spalletti in selecting players who will be brought in next season and players who will be sold, of course this is a serious step taken by Juventus to overhaul the Juventus squad for next season.

That's what I always say about Juventus! You can't consider yourself a Serie A team, especially a team that has made football history several times, and be this poor. No results, good players but with results that don't speak for themselves, ridiculous management. They need to make a radical change, starting with the management, the squad, and the strategy.

[martinom]

I'm sorry, what corruption scandal are you talking about? Because you're not talking about Calciopoli back in 2006, are you?

We're talking guys from 20 years ago! but how old are you? you don't have to answer
20 years ago i was four years old, i missed this but judging by how you remember it it must have been quite an earthquake.
The one in which Juventus was sent to Serie B?
