Italian League Prediction Thread (Serie A)

[Silence Scream]

Inter are struggling to break the deadlock against Venezia and I'm wondering if this is the game were we'd see Inter fail to take three points from the game. Meanwhile, AC Milan are in a 2-2 draw at the moment with Bologna. An interesting game for them but AC Milan will have to do better if they want to continue their unbeaten record.

Edit: AC Milan are losing the game to Bologna who came from behind and are leading. Exceptional!

I watched Milan leading the game with a goal in the first half and I went to see a friend. Coming back, I saw that Bologna is leading 2-3. I was shocked hoping that the host will be able to equalise the goal but to my biggest surprise Bologna scored the 4th goal to  frustrate Milan the more and make it impossible for them to share point with them.

Milan became weak in the second half and Bologna stronger. This is Amorim first defeat in Seria A since he took over as head coach.

Milan lost 4-2 at home to Bologna. I don’t think anyone predicted this scoreline. Surely, no one could have foreseen that Milan’s first defeat of the season would come at the hands of Bologna, and that it would happen in front of their own home crowd. I am very surprised and disappointed; just when it seemed like Milan were in great form this year, this defeat really couldn’t have come at a worse time.

It was not a pleasant day for AC Milan today against Bologna, they lost today from a winning position, they were going to be on the same level with Inter Milan, Lazio and AS Roma as the unbeaten teams in the league after nine games, right now they are out of it with the other three clubs left with this record. Amorim is losing for the first time in the league this season, I knew they will lose one day but I wasn't expecting it from the hands of Bologna after AC Milan were leading in the first half 2:1 and later lost 2:4 after the full time. Inter Milan maintained their position on top of the table after winning today's 2:0 win

You are right, Inter Milan has been consistent in terms of winning, but they haven't been that confident in winning, they won most of their games by coming from behind, and they've conceded some unnecessary goals. Thuram has been consistent in scoring goals, meaning no Martinez no problem.

Lazio is currently at the top after thrashing Sassuolo 6-2. Inter will be playing Venezia tomorrow, and I'm confident they will win, but they need to score more goals to return to the top. The Serie A is becoming competitive, and there's possibility that Inter might not come out first, what do you think?

Last day after Lazio's incredible performance against Sassuolo, Inter must be very careful in the championship because the team from the capital has absolutely no intention of giving up the lead in the championship and if Inter wants to win they must do so with all their strength, this is necessary to win, the next challenge for Inter is Venice, it's an easy match for them.

[lodocus]

Monza’s defense was too slow and Napoli took the lead with Höjlund. Napoli has been performing poorly on the road this season. They beat Genoa in the first week but haven’t been able to win their other away matches. Monza is a team they can handle. They have to come up with 3 points here.

Lobotka got injured and had to leave the game. If I’m not mistaken, he said a few weeks ago that they are playing too many games and injuries are bound to happen. As October comes to a close, he’s already played in 16 games this season for both Napoli and Slovakia national team. It’s not easy to keep up with this pace.

I’m not even sure if the red card affected the final outcome - after all, the first 4 goals were scored in just 16 minutes. Incredible, isn't it?
In general, the round started very strangely - 18 (!!!) goals were scored in three games. I suspect there will be plenty of goals in the Venezia vs. Inter match as well, Inter both scores and concedes a lot. It might even make sense to bet on the total being over 3.5. And the bookmakers have the same opinion - this outcome is quoted at 1.97 at the moment.

I agree, Inter is also a team that can score a lot of goals, and they will be facing the team currently at the bottom of the league. After Lazio showed how strong they are in the title race by scoring so many goals, Inter needs to perform similarly. I think they will score at least 3-4 goals against a weak team and win the match that way.
If they only score 1 goal and win, they will start to look like a weak team against Lazio

Lazio's result yesterday was a different situation from Inter Milan's match today. Sassuolo's red card yesterday certainly had an impact on the result because, as far as I know, Kristian Thorstvedt is one of the key midfielders Sassuolo rely on. Meanwhile, Inter Milan are facing a very weak team, but Venezia have their full squad available, giving them more options to defend and avoid conceding too many goals.

BTW, did you watch the Milan vs Bologna match? If not, consider yourself lucky, and I hope you don't watch the highlights because seeing Milan's defenders play like that could give you a headache. They looked like they were getting humiliated at home. Ah, that was painful to watch.

A typical result (in the Milan vs. Bologna match) that completely defies all logic. Before this meeting, Bologna had 8 points and 8 goals scored in 8 games - an extremely mediocre result, but today they scored 4 goals against Milan, which were very good in defense. I’m glad I didn’t place any bets today, since Milan Double Chance was such an obvious choice. Now, if Juventus win, they could join the group of five teams that have pulled ahead, turning it into a group of six that will contend for the top four spots. Even if Napoli win, they will continue to languish in the middle of the league table.

[Black Mbaye]

With Inter winning and Milan losing, this week was a very disappointing one for Milan. They were highly confident of securing all three points on their home turf, but Bologna played better and managed to defeat them. I had expected Milan to be a title contender in Italy this year, but if things continue this way, they are likely to drop points in big matches as well.

I am very surprised and disappointed; just when it seemed like Milan were in great form this year, this defeat really couldn’t have come at a worse time.

Milan were 2-1 up in the first half but lost 4-2 and that was at home. They lost focus after the break and the game changed. I think AC Milan should have tightened their defense. And prepared to handle Bologna's attacks. Although the whole game changed with another goal from Ambangula just 2 minutes after the break. I also thought Milan have been in great form this season but it's really disappointing for them to lose like that. But it can be assumed that Milan were really unlucky in this match. If Milan had maintained their form before the break, if they had played the same disciplined game after the break, they wouldn't have lost like that. And their fans no might have been disappointed to lose them at home.

Every team is bound to have an off game now and then. What matters is avoiding such defeats in the matches that follow. The upcoming fixtures are crucial for Milan, especially given their recent string of losses—both in European competition and the Italian league. Amorim is looking to prove himself this year, and he aims to achieve something significant with Milan. They shouldn't have lost this match, but now they must turn their focus toward the games ahead.

COMO managed to get a win in their match.. Previously they won against Sassuolo, and now they won again against Torino. This is their third consecutive win and it managed to put them in 4th place in the current standings.. COMO's performance has been so impressive lately, with Nico Paz and Baturina performing really well and making COMO's attack very effective.. This is a really good result because many doubted that COMO could possibly repeat their success from last season, but with them performing this impressively, it's quite possible that they can still get a Champions League spot this season.

Como winning games and breaking hurdles this season is done to talk about tbis season. They have been remarkable with the likes of amazing players and a genius for a coach. We're formerly referring to Cesc Fabregas who singlehandedly elevate the club's performance to this level with his game strategy. Chelsea have been able to win games without having to force their way through this season. We know what happen to Manchester United, how they humiliated their rivalry at the lake of COMO in the UEFEA Champions League. Those games are main test for Cesc Fabregas and he actually passed them.

Inter Milan may have been inspired by Argentina's performance in the World Cup, they looked sluggish throughout the match but they became fearsome in the last 10 minutes. Even though they didn't score a goal until the 80th minute, Inter made a 0-2 goal difference in just two minutes. With this, Inter was able to earn 3 points from the match.

AC Milan is very close to defeat. It is very difficult for them to win the match from this situation of the match, they can now try for a draw.

Lazio has surprised me a lot this season. Their consistency has surprised me a lot. In the last match, they won the match against Sassuolo by a big margin of 2-6 goals. Lazio was leading by a 1-3 goal difference before Sassuolo got a red card, so it would not be fair to use the card as an excuse.

Inter won the game but they never scored as the two goals were given as own goals and I really felt bad for Venezia because it's a sad thing to have your two goals ruled off for offside and to top it up, after ruthlessly holding Inter for that long, they end up losing the game by scoring for their opponents. Real pain but for Inter, pure delight as they have succeeded in topping the standings ahead of Lazio.

First defeat of this season for AC Milan, but timing is important because now after a few days they are going to host league leaders Inter Milan. Their defense is not good; they are conceding enough goals, which could be a big problem for them in coming matches. In the last 3 games they conceded 7 goals and scored only 4; it's not an ideal situation.
After conceding an early goal, they fought back and scored 2 goals, but in the second half their performance was not as good, as they needed to concede 3 goals. Having nothing to fight back gives them a big, shocking defeat. Usually their performance in derby games is good, but it's going to be challenging for them due to two defeats, which hurt their confidence, and they are now looking for a good result in this coming big game.

I had expected Milan to be a title contender in Italy this year, but if things continue this way, they are likely to drop points in big matches as well.

I think AC Milan was still tied with the defeat they suffered against Bournemouth in the Europa League because how is it that they won Bologna at halftime, only for them to resume second half and suffered a humiliating 2:4 defeat. When Bologna equalize the score and was leading by one goal ahead, I was thinking that AC Milan will at least manage a draw in other to keep their unbeaten run in the league but instead their defense became more vulnerable and Bologna capitalised on their error and broke them into pieces. Hope it's not what am thinking because if it starts, it won't be funny for Amorim because everyone has been praising him since the season kicked off but it's been a sad experience for him since last week.

I think the number of players sitting on the injuries list are starting to pose a problem for their manager Luciano Spalletti as Juventus are fighting to qualify for the Uefa Champions League next season instead of just playing in the Uefa Europa League. Juventus does have a great track history of winning games against Genoa but sadly they lost against Genoa yesterday with a 2 goal gap difference, I guess Juventus will have a tough time handling Napoli in their next upcoming match and the risk of them dropping further down the table are looking increasingly high.

Juventus has suddenly become a mid table club and will still last in that situation. Making signings no longer make any changes in the team or maybe they're yet to make the right signings. Juventus is truly playing to remain in the champions League zone which it's still difficult for them right now. Genoa beating them now shows their vulnerability to further losses. Even after playing 9 corners in that game, Juventus could not convert any of them.

Napoli is not also a very consistent team right now but it seems they will capitalise on Juventus weaknesses to secure 3 points from them.

AC Milan disappointed against Bologna. From leading 2:1 to loosing 2:4 at home. More punishment still awaits Milan as they will be facing inter Milan next game. Despite being the host I don't see any chance of survival for them based on their recent form.

Their current defense must be evaluated to prevent a repeat in the next match, especially as they will face Inter. Of course this Milan derby requires taking full advantage of this situation. Amorim must immediately prepare a special strategy to anticipate attacks from several Inter players.

One thing that Amorim must do is their defense line because in the previous few matches they always conceded the first goal even though they could reply but this is a step that Amorim must fix with the current reason to avoid conceding quickly, so the players who guard the defense line must be more prepared especially in the Derby match I think this is a big match in the Serie-A competition every season they always meet so with special preparations made by Amorim can close the possibility of them Inter having difficulty opening the goal in the match that will take place at their headquarters Ac Milan.

Juventus has a squad too weak to compete for the Scudetto, this season once again, it will all come down to trying to finish in the top 4. But I think even that will be difficult, as there are stronger teams already far ahead, and it’s unlikely that Juventus will be able to close such a points gap. Milan also leaves a mixed impression, drawing against Lazio is one thing, but losing to Bologna is quite another, it shows that the team lacks consistency.

I think that, as in most games where both teams are significantly underperforming and both desperately need a win, the worst possible outcome for both sides will occur: a draw. I’ve observed this pattern many times, and it will be interesting to see how it plays out this time. Juventus and Napoli have fallen far behind the top five and it is unclear whether they will be able to get back into the business. As for Spalletti, it seems that since that season with Napoli, he’s had nothing but failures. I don’t know if you could say he’s finished, but it’s 100% certain that he’s going through a rough patch.

Spalletti (like previous coaches) can't work miracles. He can't. He simply doesn't have quality players, because if he did, things would change significantly.
I'm not a fan of Spalletti, I don't like his too "gentle" style, I prefer old-school coaches like Gasperini, Sarri, Ranieri... so I say this because I've seen that many coaches have failed
It can't always be the coach's fault
