Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Velvet78]

There is really a serious decline in Italian football in the recent years... The quality of the Serie A is going down. Milan and Juventus both couldn't qualify for the Champions League.

The Italian national team also have been looking horrible. They couldn't join the World Cup three times in a row.    Until when will this go on like that?

They had better handle this problem seriously from now on.

[Shadiq]

Juventus management seems not so serious in building a stronger team and it has been seen for several seasons and even I see that the strength of the Juventus team is not as strong as other Serie A teams so I will not put high expectations for Juventus in the next season especially we can see in this transfer market to start the next season as if the Juventus team is not so aggressive in bringing in quality players so it is very likely that they will remain the same as the previous seasons.

There is a big difference between the old dominant Juventus and the Juventus of today. Do you know, Juventus is still the most successful team in Serie A. But looking at the past few seasons and the upcoming season's plans, it doesn't seem like they once dominated Serie A. This bad situation can be attributed to their financial irregularities and scandals. Because of which they had to go through various sanctions.

Even in the manager's place, they express a very unstable attitude, due to which the performance of the players cannot be stabilized. We may be getting real evidence about the transfer policy problem. The instability in the change of manager and the transfer policy problem are mainly the reason why Juventus is in such a bad position now. Even the fact that they are not improving in line with the competitors is also suffering from Juventus. Nothing good can be expected from them in the upcoming season either, they now need a good manager to bring stability to the team and young players who need to be given time to prove themselves.

I think that after such a disappointing season, when Juventus failed to even reach the Champions League spots, they decided to keep Spalletti as their head coach. This is already an indicator of their lack of seriousness. Because I think that if they were more ambitious, they would most likely have fired the coach and looked for another who could climb into the Champions League spots next season. Of course, you could say that they trust Spalletti, but on the other hand, in this situation, when they are not investing a lot of money in the team, it might be difficult to find someone better than Spalletti.

The club he met at the 8th position? You guys like to complain too much, rather than viewing the situation tactically. First, Spalletti was just appointed in October 2025, and he has never completed a full season. The club was challenged at that time with poor performances, which was why they sacked Igor Tudor. I don't expect that would magically go away immediately, even as the club was at 8th position at the time. The management that didn't look blindly but observed that Juventus finsih 6th under Spalletti, and that 6th position was sitting just 2 points lower than the 4th position (Como) did well. I see no reason why that guy should be thrown away.

If they finish among the top 24 teams in the UCL and advance to the first knockout stage, it will be a great experience for Como. Right now, their main focus will be on playing 8 good matches and trying to get a minimum of 7 points. This is the UCL, and even just being here and attending the UCL ceremony is a reward for these players.

Everyone has high hopes about the COMO, but I don't get my hopes up too high. The Italian League is one thing, but playing in the Champions League is quite another. Teams with extensive experience come here, with players who know this competition very well, with big dreams, and who undoubtedly want to crush a team like this. I just hope they can advance, because they knocked out a great team like AC Milan, who in my opinion deserved to go. But since football isn't about deserving, but about whoever scores the goal, well, that's how it goes.

What suprises me the most is how the Serie A is still ranked the second best league in Europe. We have seen how competitive the Laliga has become, and even next season is going to be hot, I expected Laliga to be the second best, because the days of Italy being competitive are gone.

The Serie A is now a training league, players now come to the Serie A and improve their selves, after some season, the player then moves to a competitive league. Italy is slowly becoming a farmer league, no competition like the good old days. You can imagine the two giants in the Serie A didn't qualify for UCL, isn't this concerning?.
For the National team, there are talks that Pep Guardiola or Ancelotti could take charge, let's see what one of these men can do.

That is true, Como should double their efforts going into the new season. Como should know that playing in the champions League requires a greater height and commitment, so Como should double in their efforts because teams in the champions League are all the best in their various leagues. Como should bring in some players to straighten their team because allot is needed at that level of competition.

The solution involves Serie A clubs being bought by billionaires who will invest a lot of money in the team, billionaires who could sign very skilled players, and this would make Serie A have strong teams that would fight to win the European Champions League. But I highly doubt that will happen, because the directors of the big Serie A clubs earn a lot even if the club isn't winning titles. So they wouldn't sell their gold mines. Como's case is different, because it wasn't a big Serie A team.


AC Milan is going to sign Sankhoun Diawara, a 20-year-old defender. I don't know exactly what Milan intends to achieve by signing him, because I don't see him playing for the first team and bringing about any major positive changes. Maybe I'm wrong. In any case, the league games start next month and we'll see if I'm wrong.

You're right, We shouldn't get our hope too high on COMO that got earned a slot in the UEFEA Champions League next season. It's all about time we start seeing Cesc Fabregas for who he is because he's been very tactical with the COMO team, knowing when to substitute, how to soothe and apprehend his strategies with the club. Fabregas is literally the pillar in the club, he's calling all the shots here and very ambitious to win major trophies with I Lariani.

Italian sides have not impressed anyone in the last decades and the only team that was consistent was Juventus but I guess they couldn't maintain the standard and had to fell off from the top of their game. Do you think COMO can take over from the Old Lady's since Inter Milan don't seem to be doing the work.

Given the top executives currently in charge of the Italian Football League, I believe this problem will persist for a very, very long time to come, and this is also having an impact on the league: teams such as Milan, Juventus and Inter are not investing in Italian players, and this is the result. A crushing defeat

This is where it gets tougher for Fabregas and his boys. You're right the champions league can never be compared with the Italian league, the atmosphere is different and you play against teams far more experienced, teams with different culture and ideas about football so that alone makes it very challenging to compete in. I think it will be the highest test for Como, if they can play in it comfortably and still maintain their good form then Fabregas needs to be acknowledged for the wonderful work. Even with all this said I also don't get my hopes too high because we've seen many clubs fail the Champions League test.

When we speak of who's deserving to be here I would say Como deserves it with the level of performance and consistency they showed last season they deserve to be there, the only thing is that AC Milan would have a more experienced side to compete in the tournament. Let's see how far Como can get.

[Renampun]

for me Como will be the surprise of this Champions League, it arrived in Serie A and after many years it immediately found its way to the most prestigious of European tournaments, even overcoming AC Milan and Juve, if Fabregas manages to find the right additions and get the team moving so as to let them rest when needed, then i have no doubts about the fact that they can do well in the Champions League.

Fabregas is fully trusted to be able to manage player transfers for COMO, and he is able to do his job well by being able to bring in 5 new players for COMO to strengthen them for next season, and he is also able to secure Nico Paz and not sell their important players from the previous season. with the preparation they have done, COMO's performance should be able to improve for next season both in Serie A and the Champions League because they now have a stronger foundation and a more stable squad.

now it's just a matter of player rotation because they will be faced with a busy schedule and if Fabregas is able to manage the squad rotation properly, COMO should be able to maintain their performance throughout the season.

[AYOBA]

Inter Milan are still good no doubt on that, but we all know football doesn’t work like that because currently the games haven’t commence yet, which we all know that inter Milan can still maintain their dominance, but others teams can still outperform them. Base on the signings they have done so far I can say inter Milan has some plans for their defence which if it works out, they will still dominate the league this season. Although it’s just as you mentioned, the league is a bit unpredictable.

We only have a couple of weeks left for the new season games to kickoff. Yeah that is the fact we can not use their last season performances to determine how their performances will goes this season, because one thing about football is that you can see a team that is doing very well last season, will not be able to play well even against weak teams that is all about football.

Since the season is not yet commence we can wait and see what will be the Inter Milan outcome are they going to make it to the final this season once again, but predicting that they will be the one to dominate the league this season it’s too early.

When you think about it, the Italian league is currently in decline; even more surprising is the fact that Italy has missed out on the World Cup several times. This situation certainly needs to be addressed, as failure to do so could make it difficult for Italy to qualify for future tournaments—especially given how many people want to see the team back on the World Cup stage like in the past.

It is truly unfortunate that Juventus and Milan have lost their competitive edge against other teams and will not be appearing in the Champions League; currently, only Inter, Napoli, Como, and Roma are set to compete. In my opinion, however, Milan and Juventus need to sign high-profile, expensive players if they want to secure a spot in the Champions League for the 2027–2028 season.

Don't you think that their era is gradually coming to an end. They don't have the burning fire in them anymore. Change is constant, who knows if Juventus and Milan will end up becoming teams that fight to finish on 5th position and below. Because it's clear that Napoli will continue fighting to finish on top four. A lot needs to be done in these two clubs to strengthen them.

[Italian Panic]

It seems that Juventus are signing Kessie on a free transfer and Parma’s goalkeeper Suzuki; this is what Italian football has come to. Free agents on very high wages, cast offs from other major leagues such as La Liga and the Premier League.
Here, where players like Baggio, Del Piero, Maldini and Pirlo once played, now you only see players who are practically past their prime, this is what the political leaders of the Italian football system have brought us to.

[m4r1o]

Yes we all know today football is all around and for money but what could we do? Going to see shit games in lower divisions? Maybe but that is not for all of us plus most of the people is gonna keep going to the ussual venues to see their teams, it is what it is and is part of the life.

I dont like it but is how the world behaves and we cant go against it. So Italy teams needs to catch up and pick up the pace.

We would need a universal rule with a maximum spending limit regarding player purchases and especially regarding salaries, these are excessive prices for sport, one should do it out of passion, because one is in love with football and not for the money, but football has changed and no one seems interested in changing anything.

There's some truth in what you're saying, but portraying the entire Italian league as if it's become a bad league doesn't seem quite right to me. After all, the competition in this league is still very high, and there are still very good players and very good teams here. So I'm a bit more positive than you are. The football industry is now operating differently than it used to; teams have taken different financial approaches. Not spending too much money, especially on rotation players, is one of the most common practices

[bastisisca]

Of course Serie A lost a lot of appeal compared to 15-20 years ago but at least it's still an interesting league because we often see a different winner. Let's take a look at France and Germany for example: the winners are always PSG and Bayern Munich, it's not really fun to watch a league just to see who is going to arrive second because you already know who is going to win.

This is only because if there was a team like one of the 2 you listed it would be the same thing here too, luckily this isn't the case, in Serie A there are many high level teams that are declining and second level teams that are rising, making it certainly a championship with a victory that is difficult to see.

Football has become a massive industry, you shouldn't be surprised by the huge sums of money flowing into the sport. However, if we look at the financial disparities between leagues, i would agree that Serie A is one of the leagues that isn't particularly strong financially. Finally, there's Como, which became the richest club in Serie A after being acquired by an Indonesian billionaire.

exactly, a gigantic industry that grinds money in an impressive way
in fact the teams have become companies to all intents and purposes, trying in every way to make money and not to offer a decent show, or rather they try because this brings fans and therefore money
There are advantages to this but also disadvantages.
