Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Lillominato89]

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.

It could be Roma’s year – or it might not be. What is certain is that they’ve made a very strong start to the season, and it might be worth backing them to win the league. But statistically, teams managed by Giampiero Gasperini tend to see their form drop unexpectedly come December and seem like a completely different side.
On the one hand, I wouldn’t mind that, given that I’m a die-hard Inter fan; on the other hand, though, from a sporting point of view, I’d be sorry to see them lose

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.

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.

It is impossible to say whether they will be able to maintain their current performance throughout the season. But looking at the current performance and injuries, the substitute players, it seems that they will be able to maintain their current performance throughout the season. The system they are currently playing in which is high pressing and quickly stealing the ball from the opponent, they are getting good results but the chances of players getting injured in this system are somewhat higher. If we see Roma maintaining this same performance, then we will see a tough fight between Roma and Inter Milan.

Personally I think the manger of AS Roma isn’t given enough credit for his excellent job of transforming AS Roma to a team that is contending to win the Italian League, the manager have been massively underrated, which is why I’m excited that AS Roma is playing and performing well, anyone who isn’t an Inter Milan fan would obviously be supporting AS Roma to win the League Title.

The odd is quite attractive, considering that Roma is playing and getting results, I see them going all the way fighting for the Title, if the board supports Gasperini with new signings in January Transfer Window, I feel they could achieve something Special.

I don’t think this is going to be Roma’s race, at least because Inter won’t just let them dominate Serie A. I think that if Roma can maintain this high level throughout the season without any significant dips in form, they could remain in the title race with Inter until the very end. Because out of all the teams I see in Serie A, Inter are still one of the strongest teams in my opinion.

Sometimes we’re too quick to judge a team even though the season has only been going on for 5 weeks. Because they performed well in the first 5 matches, we start thinking they’ll be contenders for the trophy. It’s true that they’re currently going through many changes with Gasperini, but we also have to face the reality that Roma squad depth will make it hard for them to stay consistent until the end of the season especially since they also have matches in other competitions.

For a team to be consistent, of course they need to have an adequate squad which gives Gasperini more flexibility in rotating players to keep them fit. Now, what I see is that Roma doesn’t have well balanced squad depth especially in the backup players. But anyway, Roma journey at the start of the season deserves some credit, especially if they manage to beat Como in the next match it will boost their confidence to keep maintaining consistency.

Inter Milan certainly have a big influence in Serie A, and to compete with them on an equal footing, consistency is needed, and it remains to be seen whether Roma can maintain that consistency. Roma have started well in Serie A, they are scoring well and conceding less goals, they have only conceded 3 goals in 5 matches, they have started well. But they have to maintain this consistency, but maintaining consistency like Inter Milan is not an easy task. A lot can change in a team's performance towards the end of the season, this is very normal, and so it is not possible to say anything right now, Roma are at the top now but if they want to win the title they have to stay at the top until the end, and this is not easy.

[Alex077]

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.

I don't want to pin entire blame on Allegri so soon. In just five match, Napoli's record stand at 2 win, 1 draw and 2 loss. Which could certainly be described as poor start. However, you cannot identify their coach as primary reason for this based solely on that.

Instead of just looking at current result, take a look at how chance creation, defensive error, injury situation, squad change and underlying performance have shifted compared to last season. If you automatically attribute every poor result to coach's tactic then where is the opportunity to evaluate the players execution and the role of squad building? Especially this early in the season.

[kennycryptoitalia]

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.

At this stage of the championship, there isn't a single team fighting for relegation, because there are so many points to be gained and so many changes to be made that it's pointless to talk about relegation just because they've earned so few points in five games. Because Bologna is a very respectable team that can easily stay in Serie A, which you'll obviously see them do.

On the one hand, Napoli had a difficult schedule right at the start of the season. They had to play against both Como and Inter. Although I think they shouldn’t have lost to Como at home. They also played well against Inter and started the game strongly, taking a 2–0 lead, but eventually ended up losing. I also don’t think they should have drawn with Fiorentina, because Fiorentina are very weak at the moment. So overall, the start of the season has been really poor for Allegri.

[banana33]

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.

I completely disagree because it's true that they are two of the strongest teams in Serie A without a doubt, but there are still competitions that other teams don't have to face and therefore have more rested players, something that can't be said for these two top teams. And that's something we absolutely must keep an eye on.

I think that if Roma can maintain this high level throughout the season without any significant dips in form, they could remain in the title race with Inter until the very end.

It is difficult to maintain the same level of performance every season when Roma are still under UEFA monitoring, which puts financial pressure on the club. Just imagine how difficult it is to manage the club’s finances while also being required to comply with the settlement agreement. As a result, Roma will inevitably experience a decline in performance from time to time because they may even have to sell some of their best players. So, as long as Roma remain under UEFA monitoring, the club will continue to have inconsistent results from season to season.

Roma are under UEFA’s financial monitoring, but that doesn’t mean they have to sell their players because of it. As far as I understand, they have been meeting their interim targets quite well for several years now. There have only been a few cases where they slightly exceeded the limits, and they received a relatively small fine of around €2 million, but overall, Roma have been handling this financial monitoring quite well.

We currently have 3 teams in first place
Regarding Lazio, I don't think it's something that can last, for many reasons... it's a difficult team to face, true, but highly unstable.
Inter is a very stable team, so they can do it without problems.
Rome is the new entry, it has the characteristics to do well

then well Cagliari in fourth place, a delight (team put together by Ranieri)

We know that UEFA has recently been quicker to monitoring teams, quite a few have run into trouble with these audits. From what I’ve read, however, Roma got off with a relatively minor penalty. We are seeing a Roma side in excellent form this season, and the worst thing that could happen to them right now would be a sanction from UEFA. For the time being, things seem to be going well; they remain strong contenders for the title in Italy.

[giorgione]

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.

But in fact, there have been too few matches to be able to say anything. So far, the only big matches Inter have managed to play were against Napoli, where they came away with a victory. But we're missing all the other big matches, the derbies, and those are the games that matter and will ultimately make the difference at the end of the season.

That’s true; perhaps it will be possible to offer a real assessment after some big matches have been played in Italy. While Inter is currently considered the favorite based on last season's performance, this year is different. Their form this season will become clearer after a few major games. I am positive about Inter too, but other teams remain in the title race, and we are still in the early stages of the league.

Roma could be the biggest obstacle to Inter this season. It is not possible to say anything clearly right now, and we cannot even say anything about Inter right now. However, in the first 5 weeks of this season, Roma is trying to catch the eye, we have not seen anything special from Inter Milan. We have only seen one big match, where the result was a draw. After watching a few more big matches, we will be able to guess the Italian league, which team is the favorite to win the title. Teams like Atalanta, Napoli, Como, Juventus and AC Milan also have a chance to return. It is possible to form an opinion about the league after the first half of the season is over.

[Renampun]

Yeah, it's been a long time since AS Roma has been able to perform this well like they are now.. they managed to start the season really strong, and they were even able to keep up with Inter Milan in their last match before the international break.. you could say that their performance at the start of this season was thanks to support from their players like Donyell Malen who's been so sharp, and Dybala, Manu Kone, and Matias who all contributed pretty well to the team's performance.. so if Roma wants to maintain their performance in the long run, Gasperini needs to do good rotation and minimize the chances of injuries to their key players because it can affect their performance.

AS Roma’s performance has indeed been impressive enough to rival Inter’s this season considering they’ve managed to accumulate 13 points with a goal difference that has propelled them to the top of the standings. And the biggest contribution so far has come from Donyell Malen who has scored 6 goals and is currently the league’s top scorer. However last month Donyell Malen reportedly suffered a knee injury which prevented him from playing for the Dutch national team. I think this issue might affect AS Roma’s performance in their next match. And another bad news regarding one of AS Roma’s players comes from Wesley Franca who is dealing with a thigh injury. I personally think it’s still too early to predict how AS Roma will perform. But these issues hopefully will be resolved before they kick off their next match next week so they can deliver a strong performance, where it will certainly make the Serie A competition even more exciting.

so if Roma wants to maintain their performance in the long run, Gasperini needs to do good rotation and minimize the chances of injuries to their key players because it can affect their performance.

To be consistently aggressive with the opponents, the players have to move forward at the highest speed. If the players are worried about injuries, then their performance will be hampered which will bring bad situation for a team. No one can say when what will happen on the football field. Various rules have been made to protect the players from major injuries. But in strong attacking matches, players often get fouled accidentally when they are in excessive speed or high treacle. No one ever does such fouls intentionally. But a serious foul can cause a big accident which can also destroy the career of a good player. So I think not only Gasperini but all the coaches are very worried about the injuries of the players. Because an injury can ruin the entire season of a great potential team.
