Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Lillominato89]

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.

In my view, Allegri’s tactics are now in need of a complete overhaul.
In the past, he managed to win with Milan and, above all, with Juventus, but we’re talking about teams that, at the time, were the best in Serie A – and, crucially, there was absolutely nothing behind Juventus.
Now the bar has been raised considerably and it’s much harder to compete.
I feel sorry for Napoli, but I don’t think they’ll be able to challenge for the Scudetto this season

[Inwestour]

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.

I think that if Roma can't maintain their high level of play throughout the season, Inter will easily win the title. I’ve watched a few of their matches, and I don’t like how they’re defending right now. They let Sommer leave, and their new goalkeeper is significantly weaker and makes a lot of mistakes, their defense is weaker as a result, and that could hold them back.

It will certainly be difficult to play in all competitions at these levels
because Roma doesn't have a second team like Inter, so this will certainly limit them a lot
But I'm confident that they can make a good impression and I hope so.
so that Atalanta realizes the blunders they have made

[martinom]

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've always found Gasperini to be a phenomenal coach, a true coach who knows how to take a team and transform it to suit his style of play. And he deserves a lot of credit, because only once he arrived did the Atalanta team begin to rediscover a strong and combative personality, even giving them a Europa League title.

[m4r1o]

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

It's impossible to compile a proper statistical analysis of Gasperini's teams, given that he spent so many years at Atalanta.
We can only talk about that team.
I understand you're saying that these are teams that start very well but tend to have moments or periods of less tension, but with a more complete squad, they could overcome this period.

[giorgione]

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.

Bookmakers often offer odds so bizarre that it's hard to explain them.
For example, regarding Lautaro Martinez, it's safe to say he's a player who always finds the back of the net, either because he's blessed with luck or because he's truly talented. Either way, he always manages to find the net, even in truly unpromising situations.

I was surprised to learn that Martínez recently caught up with Agüero on the list of Argentina's top goalscorers. Overall, I don't have anything against him, but based on the recent games I've seen, it seemed to me that he gets results primarily through sheer work rate rather than quality. And, incidentally, it’s unclear whether that’s a good thing or a bad thing, because we all know that many top forwards slack off when it comes to the rough work.

[changaa]

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.

Roma certainly has a great squad and can truly compete for Serie A glory, but teams like the big Serie A teams will never allow Roma to do so easily, as they're all aiming for the same goal. It will certainly be a championship that lives up to expectations.

[kennycryptoitalia]

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.

Malen becoming top scorer is a very real possibility, while Dybala's chances are already more difficult due to the injuries that have plagued his career for some time.
Betting on Roma is a real possibility that could be exploited, provided Gasperini can keep a firm grip on the team.

[cande86]

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.

Roma have some very tough matches ahead of them, and they must have clear and precise objectives. While they've started very well in the league, they've already struggled a bit in the Champions League.
They probably also need to regain the confidence to play in the European tournament, and they can do well.

Daje!

[Lannakosa]

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.

I don't think Gasperini can really influence the likelihood of player injuries. Last season, he said he needed good forwards to bolster the attack, he got some solid reinforcements during the off-season, and that had an immediate impact on the team's performance. Even back when he was at Atalanta, it was clear he favored an attacking style of play, we’re seeing the same thing now at Roma, and I enjoy that kind of football. But Inter has greater squad depth, and Roma might find themselves lacking in that regard towards the end of the season, especially if injuries occur.

[paco92x]

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)

Seeing Lazio and Roma doing so well is a delight for me. Can anyone remember when they started this strongly in the last 20 years? I would love to see them challenge for the title, but I still think that’s a long shot. We’ll see what the second international break brings.
And what about Cagliari? Fantastic for now, and with Ranieri on the bench, can we see another Leicester on our hands? It would be a fairytale.

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.

There will be a big match between Roma and Napoli on the 24th of this month. That match should give us a better idea of whether Roma are really as consistent as they seem, especially since they could only manage a draw at home against Inter in their previous match. This time, Roma will be playing away, so if they manage to win, it would be quite convincing evidence that Roma could ultimately be Inter’s strongest challenger for the title.

I think the draw that Roma got when facing Inter was not a bad result. In the upcoming match, the team that actually faces a challenge is Napoli, who have experienced some problems in the first few games. Napoli must improve their performance to be able to get back into the competition at the top of the standings. I think Roma is not a weak team that will give up at Napoli's home.

[l99l]

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.

Inter, Roma, and Lazio are currently level on points. Inter is a reliable side they have always been consistent in the Italian league, and there is no reason for that to change.
I have high hopes for Roma this season I hope they don't lose their momentum, as they’ve started well and look capable of keeping it up so far. Teams like Milan and Juventus aren't too far off, either; it’s still early in the season, and they could join the race if they string together a few good weeks.

Napoli have been struggling since last season. Their recent form is not good at all, they have already lost points this season and are far down the points table. It seems difficult for them to even get into the top 4 this season. If Roma and Inter fight for the title and these two teams occupy the top and second place, then Napoli will have to fight for the third place with teams like AC Milan, Como, Juventus and Atalanta. I don't think Napoli has the ability to fight for the title.

Even though both AS Roma and Napoli have shown impressive performance this season it is still too early to judge either of them. As usual, both have also shown some level of inconsistencies that should leave anyone trying to predict their future hopelessly confused. But truth be told, there is some level of seriousness across board in the Italian league even as we noticed a new addition to the strong teams which is Como.

[YOSHIE]

Even though both AS Roma and Napoli have shown impressive performance this season it is still too early to judge either of them.

In fact, although AS Roma and Napoli both impress in every game, it is not too early to judge between the two regarding their future, because in the future there will be two meetings between AS Roma vs. Napoli, this will get even more exciting, on October 24 2026 to determine which of the two is the best in the 2026/27 Serie A League season.

The reason is, in the previous match in the 2025/26 Serie A League, the match was between AS Roma vs. Napoli ended with a score of 2-2, will the next meeting have the same fate, this seems interesting and the next meeting will be May 1 2027, Currently, AS Roma is ranked 1st in the standings and Napoli is 9th. Indeed, rankings cannot be used as an excuse, but this time it looks different from before.

Don't make it sound as if playing again Inter Milan be it at home if away is a small thing. There are some teams you play against and if you get a draw it will seem as if it's a win. Remember Inter Milan is the defending champions, besides that they are one of the top teams in the league in general. Roma played draw against Inter Milan is a good result, you're making it seem as if they were supposed to beat Inter Milan to prove they are consistent. Roma is in form and I hope they keep on staying in form for the longest this season, I will like to see another team win the league after from the previous winners like Inter Milan, Napoli, Ac Milan and Juventus.

[KingsDen]

In the upcoming match, the team that actually faces a challenge is Napoli, who have experienced some problems in the first few games. Napoli must improve their performance to be able to get back into the competition at the top of the standings. I think Roma is not a weak team that will give up at Napoli's home.

Getting a point against a strong team like Inter is certainly a fair result. After Roma went two goals up in the game against Inter, I thought they would go on to win the game, but unfortunately, Inter turned the game around and later equalized.

Roma has been consistent this season than Napoli. Napoli didn't start this season that confidently. Although, they have some problems in midfield, two of their key midfielders are out injured which I think is one of their problems, De bryune is the only good midfielder in the squad now. Their defending has also been poor.

 I can predict a win for Roma, they look more organised than Napoli which is a big advantage to them.
