Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[ndutndut]

Saying that it is impossible for Juventus to win the championship seems extremely exaggerated to me, especially because if we consider other teams like Milan, like Como, like Roma, like Lazio, they are certainly not stronger than Juventus. We can say perhaps equal, but i believe that Juventus are still superior. So he has equal, if not better, chances of winning the championship. Obviously it's all about knowing how to put them into practice.

We are still in the early stages of the league, and the point gaps are not significant. Juventus is, of course, still one of the teams in contention for the title. Therefore, we must acknowledge that Juventus along with the other teams remains a contender. I expect strong competition in Italy this year, and Juventus will be one of the competitive teams involved. With its experience, Inter is a major contender for the championship.

Yes, that's absolutely right. Even though Serie A is still in the early stages not even reaching 10 matches they already have confidence that Juventus won't be able to compete for the trophy. Juventus is a big team and they also have a squad deep enough to compete, plus they also have a fairly experienced coach, so it feels very strange not to include Juventus in the list of trophy contenders based on the first 5 matches.

I mean, the Serie A competition is still very dynamic right now especially since every team is still looking for the right formation so they can stay consistent. I even want to add Milan to the list of teams competing for the trophy this season because they also have good squad depth under Amorim. We need to see each team's performance up until mid season before it makes sense to really see the real competition. For now, I think it’s too early to underestimate any club competing in Serie A since the season is still very long.

Well, I think that if AS Roma can at least keep their team undefeated through the middle of the season, it would truly be an extraordinary achievement for this team. And, well, AS Roma’s chances of competing for the title would also open up significantly. However, teams that manage to stay undefeated until the midpoint of the season are usually the ones that are already  showing potential to win the title. That’s because it’s quite rare for a team to pull it off, except for Napoli and Inter Milan in recent seasons.

Roma currently has decent squad depth, but the impact of a packed schedule could affect the team’s performance. And this is what I think all teams are always worried about.

And if Roma go through the first half of the season unbeaten but have a lot of draws, I don’t think that will help them much either. Every draw basically means dropping two points.

So far I’m not expecting any major achievements from Roma, I still tend to think that it will be difficult for them to compete with Inter. At the same time, I do have some concerns about Inter’s defense, because they have been conceding unusually many goals this season. And I think that could be exactly where Roma might have some advantage over Inter.

Inter has made some bad defensive errors so far, but I think Roma is the team that is slightly better in defense. Roma has conceded only 3 goals to date, whereas Inter has conceded 8. That alone speaks volumes about the difference between them. Inter's greatest asset is having talented players capable of scoring plenty of goals if not for the goals these players have delivered, the team wouldn't even be in this position. You are also right about Roma; they need to focus on winning rather than settling for so many draws.

AS Roma needs to prepare thoroughly for their packed schedule in the upcoming matches. And perhaps we’ll start to see a dip in AS Roma’s performance after they face Real Madrid in the Champions League. That match will clearly take a toll on their stamina given that they’ll need to focus or even work extra hard for it. And they may face a difficult situation when they have to divide their focus between that and even Serie A. But I personally just hope that AS Roma can remain consistent in delivering great performances moving forward by making their play even more exciting to watch. AS Roma has been the highest-scoring team so far by having scored 14 goals. And one of their players is currently the top scorer in the league. That makes me fairly confident that they are a strong contender for the Serie A title this season. Or at least they’ll remain among the top three teams just like last season.

Guys what do you think about the Como vs. Roma match this week? We know both are Champions League teams with quality squads. It’s going to be a tight contest. Roma just played Inter and is now facing another title contender in Como they’re aiming to get through this tough stretch of the schedule unscathed. How do you think Roma will fare in this match?

No joke, the central game of the round. The rest are either too unbalanced or not that interesting (who cares about Torino's struggles against Udinese? haha). At the moment, bookmakers assess the game as follows:

2.52 - 3.55 - 2.66

Purely random  It seems to me that Como is slightly underrated, after all, they are playing at home. The fact that Como is technically in 8th place while Roma is in 1st makes no difference, since a win would allow Como to catch up with Roma. I don't know what might be suitable for cash betting here, perhaps live betting after the first half.

And I think that could be exactly where Roma might have some advantage over Inter.

Well, Inter Milan’s defense is a bit concerning. They’ve scored a lot of goals 15 and, well, that’s still the most so far.  But they’ve also conceded 8 goals so far. This is different from Roma, who’ve  conceded only 3 goals and scored 14. So, at first glance, Roma seem to have the  edge. But that’s not really the issue. It’s about which team will be able to maintain their form throughout the season. Constantly drawing isn’t ideal, even if it’s slightly better than losing. However, to stay at the top, Roma really needs to keep winning matches.

But to be honest, in their next two matches, Roma will face some challenges across all competitions. in Serie A, they’ll face Como, and in the UCL, they’ll face Real Madrid. That’s a tough task. However, if they manage to win or at least avoid a loss, Roma truly has even greater potential than we might expect.

If you look closely, six out of Inter's ten conceded goals have come in the first 30 minutes of matches. They consistently put themselves in a position where they have to chase games, and since they have the capable forwards who could do exactly that, they are getting away with it by countering with goals of their own.

The real question is sustainability till the end of the season. Roma's low concession rate is impressive, but if they don't start scoring more goals, teams will eventually figure out how to break down their defense—and they won't have the goals to fight back. Inter might be leaking goals, but their ability to score at will makes them much more dangerous in the long run.

[Adiljutt156]

After a few years, Serie A is having a good start with a few teams on a good level fighting hard for staying at the top. Roma is looking good; while Inter Milan also has good consistency, things are surely going to be more interesting in the coming days after the break. The most interesting game is Como vs. Roma, with Roma being the top 8 teams with a 3-point difference, surely having something entertaining for fans.

Cagliari is going to entertain Juventus while Napoli is having a challenge. High-flying Frosinone can keep Roma in top rank, or Inter Milan will steal its talk of town right now. Como also has a decent start; they surely have enough potential to beat Roma at home, but it's still its top-flight game with a balanced team. After the break, fans will be watching good soccer till the last minute of this game.

I think it's a very difficult match; both teams are quite good and have similar strengths. Roma started the season well, and Como isn't much different, but they dropped points last week. Looking at the league standings doesn't mean anything because there's only a 3-point difference between them.

I think Como will have a slight advantage playing at home; if they manage to score in the first half, they can win this match. I don't think Roma are the favorites for this match; I think we'll see a high-quality, risky game

Roma is going to win because, aside from the fact that they are topping the table, to me, they have what it takes for them to be able to win because Roma has the intention of winning Serie A, so to them every game needs to be taken seriously, and that is why my instincts are telling me that they are going to find it hard to win against Roma because it is obvious that como does not have what it takes for them to be able to win. and like every other person, will always say this is just speculation the game might not go exactly the way we want it and we expect something better from roma since they are the ones topping the table.

It's a half - half game. Roma is showing convincing performance, but they get thrashed by Como in the last game[away]. So i don't think it's gonna be an easy game when they play Como again in away game after Como got some improvements during the summer window.
I'm not a fan to bet on money line because the winner is hard to decide, and draw can also happen. I'd be picking btts as the most reasonable choice to bet.

A goaless game is unlikely to happen following how healthy the players from both of sides. So an alternative bet is the right choice. Also no key players from both of team are injury, which is making the game becomes more interesting to watch.
I take btts as my choice here, and i predict 2-1 is likely the finaly score.

Does H2H still exist? Como playing at home always wins, so does Roma if playing at home too, this looks to be difficult, it does not rule out the possibility of a draw.

Over 1.5 goals for Roma or Como odds are good,now just make a random choice. LoL if I myself somehow bet on the match in progress it is less interesting, the usual odds always go down if the game in the first half already knows where its dominance is.

I think this is a fair judgement based on the current condition of the teams. Roma's performance against inter Milan has affected how I see them against a big team. Como is a very difficult side to play especially when it comes to the big teams. Going for Both teams to score is the best option in that game as they're both a good attacking teams. I think a draw is more likely to happen in the game, say a 1:1 or more likely 2:2 game.

Roma will be having a tough champions League side to deal with in three days time which could force them to manage their players more reservedly and focus more on defense for a draw why Como is having a lighter Feyenord to deal with. The odds too favours Como more than Roma. So it's better to go for a BTTS or Como win or draw.

[Pressurizedem]

Roma should not be forgotten this season. The fight for Juventus is even tougher, I don't think they have any chance this season. Inter are already a strong team with the most chances to win the title, and Roma has joined this fight. So if Juventus want to win the Scudetto, they will have to beat Roma and Inter now and win the title. I don't think Juventus has that ability at the moment. So their main goal this season should be to secure a place for the Champions League.

It was also said last year, but during the direct clashes against Inter Juventus came out better.
So Inter are certainly the favorites on paper because they have a more decisive and convincing game, while Juventus is still in a run-in phase in which they need to demonstrate that motivation, that hunger that is needed to compete seriously.

Roma is one team that's really getting my attention at the moment, they've won some important matches and I am looking forward to seeing them play in the champions league next season. They've started the season so well, and their performances in this first few games  has made one begin to think they can actually pose a threat on the Italian Sera A tittle.  If they believe, and have that conviction that they can do it, then I am confident they can be able to shock Juventus and Inter Milan to lifting that trophy.

Furthermore, Juventus hasn't been bad in their past games, but I still think there is need for them to improve in the way they play games, they still have to work on the possession ability so that it will enable them to be able to win games convincingly and not narrowly. Inter Milan had always remained favourite in my eyes to that title, but lest let's see what happens comes the end of the season.

[Obulis]

Their position on the table is better from how I see it because the teams ahead of them are not doing bad either, the competition has always been between them (Juventus) Ac Milan, Inter, Napoli and maybe Roma or Atalanta but check the table of this season and see how ambitious the other clubs are, always aggressive to stay at the top 5, winning games too but they are not meant to stay in that position for long that is what I know, after the end of this year we would know which team can advance a little or make a change of position and be consistent on the table and how they perform. Juventus should continue with this approach and also make the competition to grab the title difficult for the current Champions and other clubs fighting to reach the top of the table.

In fact, it must be admitted that this year Serie A has decided to change course and seems to have become a decidedly more competitive championship compared to last year. And it's something that pleases me because the Italian championship has always been a historic championship that brings with it great players and great plays. And it's nice to be able to go back and see more teams compete for the title.

That's exactly what is going on right now, awakened eagerness to see the light of being at the top by teams that was no where last season. But just thinking! Could it be that the season is just too young or fresh for such conclusion? This competitiveness to top the table will become more interesting by the time it is about or up to mid season. Anyway, this could be it, that's history changing it hands.

Did you ever have that feeling the match was going to end in a draw? Because my brain was literally like, 'Hey, Roma, Como how about we just split the points and call it a day? 

But I think we need to reconsider this after I found out that one of Gasperini’s key players, Bryan Cristante, could miss the game. He plays an important role in controlling the midfield tempo. If he’s really out, Como might have a slightly better chance to win.

That said, if Gasperini goes with a more defensive setup, I can still see this ending in a draw.

However, teams that manage to stay undefeated until the midpoint of the season are usually the ones that are already  showing potential to win the title.

At the same time, I do have some concerns about Inter’s defense, because they have been conceding unusually many goals this season. And I think that could be exactly where Roma might have some advantage over Inter.

I like your analysis on the potential title contenders this season, basically I think Roma have a chance of winning the title I don’t think they’ve been this close for a very long time, they just have to stay close to Inter Milan who are the the current Champions and are possibly the team with the commanding force in the League.

Roma can try and stay close to the top of the league till January and then they can use the Winter Transfer Window to sigh some new players who are going to help the team, Inter Milan have a stronger squad compared to Roma, Roma have a very small squad, I doubt they can go all the way to winning the title without strengthening the team in January.

It will be a very nervous match for me
Roma cannot and does not want to lose, nor does Como who will have the full support of their fans at home.
so the match will be tough and I think also very physical and foul-filled, nasty at times
I expect it because both are ambitious teams..

However, quite often the favorite fails to capitalize on their status, causing the odds to rise significantly and become attractive. You know that common pattern where the underdog plays well, even has an advantage in technical and tactical actions, but ultimately loses because the favorite is simply more effective. If you manage to place a bet before the favorite makes their decisive move, you can extract value.

Yes, that happens, but this doesn't seem to be the case here. If both teams were at the very top, I would think about a draw (like everything can’t be that good, so both should lose points), but now Como is clearly in a catching position.
