Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Creeper0]

Inter has had so many comebacks this season that it’s unlikely this one will be remembered. Just as a reminder: against Udinese, Roma, and Napoli, Inter was trailing by two goals - yet they managed to win two of those matches and secured a draw against Roma. Honestly, I don’t yet know whether this is a sign of strength or of a weakness that will eventually manifest itself - it’s impossible to keep getting out of unpleasant situations unscathed. At the moment, Inter has the best attack, but the worst defense among the top 6. We all know what wins titles 

I don't think it's a sign of strength, a sign of strength is always keeping the match under control. A comeback is only necessary when you fall behind. And the reason for falling behind is weakness or losing control of the match. Inter Milan have looked very weak this season, although in the end they are trying to come back and save their honour. I expected Inter to perform well at home against Fiorentina, I expected them to dominate. But they performed like a weak team for 90 minutes and made the match boring to watch. It's not that they rested important players and were forced to play with a weak team, but rather that they struggled against Fiorentina with a strong team.

Taking 33 shots and scoring only two goals both of which came after the 90th minute is a concerning sign for Inter heading into future matches. We are accustomed to seeing Inter win such games with ease however, they struggled significantly against Fiorentina. I certainly did not expect such a poor outcome from them. Still, they are fortunate to have secured all three points. In terms of efficiency, they need to do a better job of capitalizing on the scoring opportunities they create.

I don't know... honestly I've noticed that the Italian championship is going through a real crisis of quality.
known problem.. not from now.. for at least 15 years
They commissioned Roberto Baggio to think of a solution, he worked and they TOTALLY IGNORED his solution

I would say that the FIGC top brass should go home and kick their asses.

Inter Milan’s last-minute victory felt more like a fluke. Although they did deserve to win, having created plenty of chances, they didn’t play as well as they usually do. While player rotation was a factor, we really expected better.

Two goals in stoppage time were truly an incredible comeback. However, that wouldn’t have worked against a strong opponent. Fiorentina is a team in a slump right now, so I personally expected Inter Milan to take the lead early on. But that wasn’t the case. They almost lost, and if not for the penalty kick, the match would have ended in a draw.

Despite sitting at the 2nd place, Lazio is getting priced 28.88. At this point, i'm interesting to see them to fight Intermilan for the title race. It's gonna be the biggest plot twist to see them lift serie a trophy instead of Intermilan. Please, god make it happen!

Intermilan is too dominant in serie a. We need a new winner. If they can manage to lift trophy or finish in the UCL spot, Gattuso's bad image will be cleaned after he made italy's NT failed went to the WC for the three times.

Thanks to a strong defensive lineup, Lazio is now breathing down on milan's neck, occupying same position in table with equal point.

IMO, I do not think Lazio will be able to maintain this consistency. At the beginning of season, we considered Roma as worthy title contender. But as time passed their performance also became inconsistent. Lazio has managed to stabilize their performance with help of strong defense. But performing well consistently in long run is quite difficult. I am sure that the moment any key player in Lazio's starting XI suffers any injury, their performance will also become erratic. Manager Gennaro Gattuso has very few quality replacement for his starting players.

[bastisisca]

i was thinking they'd lose this time, but they managed to turn the game around again. not only that, but a draw wasn't enough, they went on to win. there aren't many teams that score 2 goals in extra time to win a game. inter showed serious discipline, they took shots throughout the game without success, but it finally paid off in extra time. they deserved to win the match, they played very dominantly. i wonder who will be able to stop this team. maybe milan or como will do it.

Inter this year together with Lazio are the best team in the championship, and they are still an excellent team that can compete at very high levels even in the Champions League area, i must say that Lazio surprised me, they have reached a level that no one would have ever expected, i like that they are so disciplined.

Sometimes there are many unexpected things and we saw the same picture in this match. Every Inter Milan fan and everyone expected Inter Milan to win this match by a big margin. But Inter Milan tried hard, but they were not able to succeed in the attack. In this match, luck was not with Inter Milan, which is why Inter Milan faced this result. However, they scored a goal in the last minute and won the match. In this match, some weaknesses in the attacking part of Inter Milan were seen because Fiorentina had strengthened their defense and Inter Milan had to face such a difficult situation to break Fiorentina's defense, which was very unimaginable.

[PremiumcryptoHub]

In yesterday's match, Inter Milan suffered a lot because of Lautaro Martínez's absence, because they had a lot of attacks, but they didn't have a good finish. They had a total of 30 shots in the whole time, but they didn't score before the full 90 minutes. In the 65th minute, Fiorentina scored a goal, and it seemed that Inter Milan would lose the match with this 1-0 score. But in the end, Marcus Thuram scored a goal in the 91st minute to equalize the score and fortunately Inter Milan got a penalty in the 97th minute, and by scoring that penalty, Inter Milan won the match with a score of 2-1. I think if Lautaro Martínez was in the team, then they wouldn't have had so much pressure to win this match, the lack of Lautaro Martínez was very clear in this match. Anyway, Inter Milan maintained their top position, if they lost this match, Lazio would have been at the top, but in the end, Inter Milan really showed a great comeback.

Lautaro Martinez was absent from Inter Milan's seventh match, but have you noticed that this team made a great comeback in this match. It's totally unbelievable that Inter Milan didn't score for 90 minutes in yesterday's match but they luckily managed to score in the last stages.

Looking at this match we felt that Fiorentina is a very trained team but they are already 18th in the Italian league points table. Besides with the win against the Fiorentina team, Inter Milan managed to regain their top spot in this new Italian league season as it appears that they have already won seven out of eight matches, even Italian club Lazio managed to win the same number of matches as this team.

It's not that they rested important players and were forced to play with a weak team, but rather that they struggled against Fiorentina with a strong team.

I get what you trying to say, a team that wants to win the league will always be incharge in their games, they will always control the game. But then, come back is one thing that only the a true league winner will be able to do. In that game against Fiorentina, it very hard to believe that inter will come back in that game, especially with just very little time to play, but the did.

I know Roma and Lazio are moving in a good direction this season, they both look like a team that will cause inter problems in challenging for the league, but then, that a good thing for inter. They have been their before severally, they have won it severally in recent times, so they know what it takes to win it. But for lazio and Roma, it a whole different story.

[Yandakava]

It's not just about Inter Milan making a comeback against Fiorentina, it's about the timing and the class at which this was achieved. All goals came in the second half, Fiorentina scored around 60 minutes, they'd were winning, with the little time remaining it's almost impossible for Inter Milan to think of winning the game from that moment. The two goals they scored were all in injury time. Inter Milan played the whole 90 minutes but didn't score but used extra time which was less than 10 minutes to score two goals. The time which the goals went in is what will make this a memorable comeback in the heart of the fans and players. This is a kind of game the fans will keep on replaying for this week because of how things ended up for their team, Fiorentina will be feeling the brunt after the game ended.

Inter has had so many comebacks this season that it’s unlikely this one will be remembered. Just as a reminder: against Udinese, Roma, and Napoli, Inter was trailing by two goals - yet they managed to win two of those matches and secured a draw against Roma.

At the moment, Inter has the best attack, but the worst defense among the top 6. We all know what wins titles 

Inter Milan will give their fans a heart attack if they continue playing like this. I also gave up in the game against Fiorentina, I was wondering why they would be losing by one goal since the first half. Lautaro Martinez was not available due to injury, his absence is currently affecting their performance, this team is playing if they are not ready to bring the title back home. I bet on Inter Milan to win, but due to lack of confidence in me, i cash out the game, I was doubting their ability to make the comeback, which they later did in five minutes. The boards need to work on their defense, I trust their attackers to get a goal.

Fiorentina is a team in a slump right now, so I personally expected Inter Milan to take the lead early on. But that wasn’t the case. They almost lost, and if not for the penalty kick, the match would have ended in a draw.

I was totally shocked because when Fiorentina took the lead in the 65th minutes of the game, I was expecting Inter Milan to scored early before 80 minute so that they can get the winning goal in the stoppage time, but it wasn't as I expected, they couldn't score until in the added time when they were lucky to complete a comeback with five minutes.

This is not a regular winning patter, it is a fluke I agree with you because they could have lost the match if they are not lucky, buy scoring two goals within the stoppage time to win the match was indeed a fluke. Now that Inter Milan is leading the table, they need to improve their performance to remain there because the competition will be tough this season.

Lazio are currently doing great and are at a bumper to bumper level with Inter Milan both teams are 22 points, with them just outperforming Lazio with few goals. I don’t even know what Napoli and Juventus are playing this season because the position at which they are currently does not even look good at all. Napoli especially is giving me a Man U treatment seeing how good they are with their squad yet their performance is nothing to write home about. With the tempo and intensity Gattuso is going with his team, if he’s able to sustain throughout the season, there are plenty chances his team may become the next champions of the Italian league

It was quite a surprise to see Como coping up well with the busy schedule in both the Uefa Champions League and Italian Serie A with their limited squad of players while producing some decent results in their games. I think it would still take some time for Cesc Fabregas to transform Como into a much more formidable team on the field. Como will play against Torino in their next upcoming match and they did manage to achieve some great results against Torino last season, but I think Torino might be able to pull off a surprise draw against Como with the home advantage on their hands.

I watched something about it, but i don't understand why they ignored the proposal, because i think that proposal was one of the best solutions for Italian football. I've been following Serie A regularly for 13 years now, and i think the same as you, it's no longer the same quality we used to watch. I followed it before as well, but not as regularly, and back then the derby between Milan and Inter was followed on every continent.

Well, the most important thing is that they managed to secure all three points in that match. Although I’m sure most Inter Milan fans were nearly at their wits’ end with the score at that point. But then again, who could have guessed they’d manage to score two goals in stoppage time?

I hope that at least Inter Milan can play better in the UCL. Because there are many teams there whose strength is sometimes hard to gauge. Many teams bring surprises that can overwhelm even the strongest teams.

I want to see Serie A teams demonstrate their dominance even more there. I don’t want what happened last season to repeat itself this season. Because last season, we really saw that the quality of Serie A teams had dropped drastically compared to teams from other leagues.

I believe that this quality you were talking about is gradually returning, of course it takes time for these teams to return to the top and become great again all over the world, but the quality is there and is increasingly increasing in other teams that we were not used to following or used to seeing win.

[vogdivric]

But then, come back is one thing that only the a true league winner will be able to do.

They have been their before severally, they have won it severally in recent times, so they know what it takes to win it. But for lazio and Roma, it a whole different story.

Inter are crazy, they always have been and always will be, they always manage to make incredible comebacks and I'm amazed how this year they always manage to do so once again, incredible matches and where to find them, but it seems that this year the championship is much more competitive, and that everyone is trying to win the series.

A lack of squad depth doesn't really show at the beginning of the season, it becomes noticeable around the middle of the season, or especially towards the end, particularly if a team starts dealing with injuries. That can easily happen when a team relies on the same players across two competitions and they don't get enough time to recover. Como could certainly beat Torino today, as they're clearly the stronger side, but if Fabregas decides to rotate the squad, the match could be more difficult. What I'm almost certain of, is that Como will score.

I would add that it was also now, after years of boring Championships, Serie A is finally lively.
I've never liked Inter as a team, even though they manage to win and give good results I just can't stomach their at times obscene style of play.
If you consider yourself a strong team you always have to prove it, instead there are matches that play really badly and don't play like the real Champions, they win it's true but not with results that make you stay glued to watch the match, with little spectacle in short.
That everyone trying to win Serie A is normal, otherwise what do they have to compete for?

What I'm almost certain of, is that Como will score.

Como didn't just sign a few players this summer, they strengthened their squad significantly. These are some very notable players, including Nico Paz from Real Madrid, defender Trevoh Chalobah from Chelsea, Moise Kean from Fiorentina, Samuele Ricci from Milan, and Yan Couto from Borussia Dortmund. They also signed Luis Milla from Getafe, Willy Kambwala from Villarreal, and goalkeeper Robert Sánchez from Chelsea. Overall the reinforcements are very impressive, so I wouldn't be too worried about Como's squad depth at this point.
