Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Cgrexp]

Inter is a team defined by consistency. Their steady performance is what carries them to the Italian league title; while other teams may start the season strongly, they tend to slump during the second half. In the past, there were times when Milan and Juventus started well but ultimately failed to win the championship after dropping points later on. Inter, however, maintains its consistency, competes strongly until the very end, and secures the Scudetto.

Inter have been in great form recently, so there is nothing wrong with considering them as favourites for the Scudetto. Their specialty is consistency, from the beginning to the end of the season. Serie A is a league where different teams can be at the top in the first half of the season, but in the second half, those teams lose their consistency and fall out of the Scudetto race. Then we see teams like Inter and Napoli rise to the top. Although Napoli are not in that situation this season, they are suffering from a lack of form. Roma is the team that is qualified to fill the void left by Napoli this season, even if they do not win the title, they have the possibility of finishing second, and even winning the title.

I am really surprised to see Napoli in such a state this season, they were in second place last season too, they did very well, but it is not expected that they will lose their form this season. They have only won 2 matches in 5 matches, and now they are in 9th position, at the same time Lazio have started this season very well, who were at 9th position last season, but since it is still the beginning of the season, it is not a given that these teams will be able to stay at the top for very long. But I will still wait and hope for Napoli to rise above, maybe with time they can bring themselves back to form, since there are only 5 matches in the league. But in the end I will definitely choose Inter Milan as the title contender, no matter what Roma do now, I don't think they will be able to hold on to the top spot, we will see Inter Milan at the top, and Roma will be in second place, let's see what happens over time. Roma will play their next match against Como, that match will be difficult for Roma to win.

I think Inter Milan’s chances this season shouldn’t be much different from Roma’s. As we know, Roma has proven since last season that they’ve been consistently improving their performance. It’s just that Inter Milan has always been the favorite, so it’s only natural that they’re still favored this season. But the thing is, as seen in the last match between Roma and Inter Milan, it was clear that Roma could keep up with Inter Milan’s play. In fact, Roma even created more scoring chances. But the thing is, the team that has consistently proven itself from start to finish is Inter Milan. Meanwhile, there are still quite a few doubts surrounding Roma, although I think as long as Gasperini is the coach, I’ll have high hopes for Roma. I’m always impressed by the way Gasperini manages the depth of his squad.

well oh god, I wouldn't even give it the same chance
Since Inter is already a built team and hasn't changed anything... it just works.
Chivu was very smart about this so I applaud him.

Roma is a team under construction, but 5.60 seems really too much to me.

Inter Milan is a team to be beaten for the title, they really need a big competition in the League this season but judging from what AS Roma is doing this season I see them giving Inter Milan a run for their money, they’re going to have a proper fight for the Scudetto Title, AS Roma have to support Gasperini in January by bringing in some new players to help the manager achieve his goals, personally I want Roma to win the Italian League Title this season, they’ve not won it for a very long time and it would make a good sense for them to win the title, I like the work Gasperini is doing all the way from Atalanta, But Inter Milan is going to give a real fight just like what we saw in the last game between AS Roma vs Inter Milan.

Inter - 1.68
Roma - 5.60
Juventus - 9.60
Milan - 9.80
Napoli - 21.00

By the way, such high odds for Inter look questionable - conceding eight goals is a bad sign. The next worst club in this regard is Sassuolo, sitting in 10th place with nine goals conceded.

I think Inter Milan’s chances this season shouldn’t be much different from Roma’s. As we know, Roma has proven since last season that they’ve been consistently improving their performance.

I wouldn't say that equal or roughly equal odds would be fair, after all, Inter has a more serious background for claiming the title. However, if Inter were priced at, say, 1.9 - 2.0 and Roma at 3.8 - 4.5, that would be fairer. In recent years, we have seen many top favorites stumble: Bayern lost the title, Liverpool plummeted into the abyss, and City also fell after winning four consecutive titles - with even hundreds of millions in new spending failing to help them reclaim the crown. As for Serie A, the landscape is far too unpredictable to justify making Inter such an overwhelming favorite.

I'm not too surprised on what I'm seeing from Napoli of their 5 past matches and they were able to win only two matches out of 5 matches played totally, because if will should consider those clubs that ends in good position based on their performance last season, you will not forget to mention Bologna that didn't see religation last season but in this season you will see that Bologna is really battling religation in this season, so if Roma continues topping the league and without any crisis in Roma club, it will be very difficult for inter Milan to meet up to the top, so since the season is still open for anything to happen, i will not panic much till when this season get to a certain level, them we will know the team that has separate themselves from other teams.

[Rashlyowl]

If you say that the competition for the season title is only between Roma and Inter, while Milan, Juventus and Napoli are just supporting contenders for the Serie A trophy, I disagree because Serie A has only played 5 matches and you’re already saying that. I think it’s too early to predict the Serie A title race. There are still 33 matches left for each team, so I think there will still be surprises until the end of the season.

We can also learn from previous seasons. Sometimes a team stays consistently at the top from week 1 to 10-20, but by the end of the season, they end up in second or third place. It’s the same this season; indeed, Roma has performed well so far and is still in first place, but with a very small point difference. Even the top 1-3 spots have the same points, so Roma position at the top of the table every week will face pressure.

I can understand why he think that way, as the competition stands, only Internazionale & Roma have the best chance of winning the league title, regardless of how many games have been played in the league. He has a point, but you aren't entirely wrong either, a lot of changes could still happen in the league since there are so many games yet to be played.

Yes, for now, no one is denying the fact that Roma have good chances of winning the title, with the results we have seen so far. But despite that, I will not say that they have the best chances of winning the league title this season, because Inter Milan are also in very good condition. They are the defending champions, and I have known Inter Milan for a long time. They always fight hard every season for the league title, and they have been winning it from time to time.

So, even this season, I don't think Inter Milan will relent and give Roma a good chance of winning it, because even now, we can see they are strong and that shows they are in great form.So, in this case, I will just say that both teams are the most favourite teams to win the league title but I will never say that Roma have the best chances of winning the league title, considering the current form of Inter Milan.

Of course, there are still many matches to play, and mathematically several teams can still be considered title contenders. It would be unfair to limit the list of candidates to just Roma and Inter; Napoli, Milan, and even Juventus remain in the running. We shouldn't overlook Como, either. Just as in recent years, Italy is set for a title race featuring multiple contenders this season.

[Agathamay]

Inter - 1.68
Roma - 5.60
Juventus - 9.60
Milan - 9.80
Napoli - 21.00

It is natural that Inter Milan will be considered hot favorite for title. This is because this squad possess greatest capacity to perform consistently well. This is strongest squad in Serie A.

But the way Roma is performing is incredible. Roma's defense was solid last season but their performance became inconsistent toward end due to weak attack. Scoring 60 goal in 38 match was also huge challenge for them. But now scenario has changed. They have scored 14 goal in just 5 match. Roma's attack has managed to put up strong performance even against big team like Milan, Fiorentina and Atalanta. Roma is breathing down Inter's neck in title race. If Milan fails to maintain consistency then Roma will become champion.

Inter Milan and AS Roma are showing much concern to win the scudetto this season. Perhaps it's still regarded as early phase of the Seria A but we know the serious teams when we see them. Inter Milan and AS Roma will definitely go head to head this season and checking their stats this season, they're incredible and wanting something more than a win.

While for Juventus, AC Milan and Napoli, I think they will just have to fight for the top four spot. As hard as it is but we just need to hear the truth about these clubs, we now know the ones coming for the titles and the ones not coming for them.

I think Inter wants to break away in terms of points as quickly as possible to better manage the Champions League matches. They've gotten off to a flying start with several wins, some of which were hard-fought, but which quickly gave the Milanese team a lead, and Roma has kept pace. The task of their other league rivals is to keep them in check.

[giorgione]

Top four finish should be the set target for them, I'm guessing. They are not one of the attacking sides I'll be boasting but I can say the same thing for them defensively. The Juventus manager one time lead his Napoli side to glory on the league, maybe he could be the one to restore the same glory to the old ladies. They have a good home form but struggling with away games. The upcoming fixture against Cagliari one of the finest attacking sides in Seria should say something more about their performance on the road. Like I wrote, finishing top four should be their goal. They came so close last season, but couldn't achieve it.

I can't disagree with you. Juventus, at home, with their fans cheering them on, certainly prefers to present their performances with a more relaxed tone, while away from home they manage to score, something that used to be difficult, but struggle to maintain the lead over their opponents.

Inter want to win the Scudetto again this year, as is only right. They must defend the Italian championship title they won last season and, last but not least, extend their lead over Milan in the all-time Scudetto tally.
Whether they’ll succeed remains to be seen, but we do know that they’ve made an excellent start to the season and that the title race currently involves Inter, Roma and Milan.
Would you ever have bet that Roma would have a chance of competing with Inter for the Scudetto?

[kennycryptoitalia]

Juventus's performance lacks consistency, preventing them from reaching their desired position in the league. While the team defends excellently and the attack functions well in some matches, they concede very soft goals in others. They have been unable to resolve this issue, resulting in unnecessary dropped points.

We will see if the same pattern repeats this season, as the team needs to work hard to turn things around. As the performance levels of other teams in the league rise, clubs like Juventus must step up their efforts. Breaking into the top four is no easy task, but it is certainly not impossible for Juventus.

Juventus had a very challenging transfer window, considering the club's finances, and they've regained a certain balance in their game, but they still need to find the right positioning. They have very capable players, and they just need to figure out how to create the kind of harmony that will allow them to move forward smoothly.

[HyperCodexV]

Roma is a team under construction, but 5.60 seems really too much to me.

It’s not that high, but it’s fair considering Roma’s results so far.

IMO, even though they are currently at the top of the table, there are still doubts about whether Roma can maintain their consistency. In previous seasons, Roma have often disappointed their fans. So those odds actually feel like they still have some doubts about Roma. But honestly, I have a feeling that this could be Roma’s season.

The fans should remember the giants breathing down their neck. The likes of Inter and AC Milan have far more squad depth and even UCL DNA compared to Roma, who are just kind of an experimental side. Roma will need to burn a lot of energy in these early stages to maintain their consistency, the giants will always be quietly building momentum and rotating their stars to find the right balance for the team and against any sudden injuries.

It’s very likely that this will be Roma’s year because they’re playing very well and also show good stamina on the pitch. As one user pointed out earlier, odds of 5.6 are really good value for placing a bet on Roma because they really do seem to have signed the right players to win. It’s also worth betting on Malen to be top scorer and on Dybala to score the most goals.

Roma haven't put in performances like this in Serie A for a long time. I believe Roma has the ability to go all the way, but it's been a long time since they've competed in three competitions of this caliber at the same time, and this could certainly weaken the team, or at least make them unable to approach every match with the same determination.

When you watch Inter Milan matches, what do you see? Simply the final score, which always favors Inter. Except for the last match against a wonderful Roma. But Inter Milan matches always favor Inter. This is to say that the quotes are also fair, because when a team does nothing but win, it's normal for the odds against them to be significantly lower. And since they're the team to beat, you can't expect them to have higher odds and the other teams to have lower odds. That wouldn't be fair.

Nope. I’ve seen a few of their games this season, though not in full, specifically, I think, the matches against Cagliari, Napoli, and Real. And you know, the score is one thing, but watching their games is painful - especially after watching Bayern or Premier League matches. There are too many errors and too much aimless tussling, Lautaro Martínez plays like a wooden puppet (I honestly don't know how he manages to score goals). All in all, I have a negative impression of them, perhaps that’s why I don’t like the bookmakers' odds.

For Roma, playing good football is not enough to secure them the league title, there should be a level of discipline and consistency in the team that is needed throughout the season to actually win the league. This is because Inter Milan, AC Milan and Juventus are not planning on crossing their fingers and make it easy for them.

It looks very likely that this could be their season and I really hope it is, Piero Gasperini has put up a great team that deserves the win this season.

[verdinio]

I am really surprised to see Napoli in such a state this season, they were in second place last season too, they did very well, but it is not expected that they will lose their form this season. They have only won 2 matches in 5 matches, and now they are in 9th position, at the same time Lazio have started this season very well, who were at 9th position last season, but since it is still the beginning of the season, it is not a given that these teams will be able to stay at the top for very long. But I will still wait and hope for Napoli to rise above, maybe with time they can bring themselves back to form, since there are only 5 matches in the league. But in the end I will definitely choose Inter Milan as the title contender, no matter what Roma do now, I don't think they will be able to hold on to the top spot, we will see Inter Milan at the top, and Roma will be in second place, let's see what happens over time. Roma will play their next match against Como, that match will be difficult for Roma to win.

As I said, I don't blame the team, but rather the coach, because Allegri, in my opinion, is a coach who doesn't even deserve to be in Serie A. And you can see it in every team he manages, he takes away the very game that was created in the teams he coaches. And this is also happening at Napoli, which has suddenly stopped winning.

Winning the title is not that easy, Inter Milan are still in their best form, they were last season's champions. Moreover, Inter Milan are usually the best at maintaining consistent performances because they won the title with a big point margin. AS Roma have started very well the beginning of the season but the thing to watch is how far they can maintain their consistency. Their attack has improved a bit compared to last season, but the main thing is to maintain this consistency and win consistently.
Inter Milan will try their best to maintain their consistency and I think they will do it very well, but if Roma somehow lose their form for a while, then Inter Milan will take advantage of that opportunity very well and come out on top, because now they are level on points, but in this season too I will be in favor of Inter Milan to win.
