⚽ Lega Serie A 🇮🇹 (Italian League) Prediction Thread 2024/2025⚽

[giammangiato]

If Napoli do not reach their minimum objectives, i.e. to play at least in the Europa League, they will most likely have to give up their best players, and at this rate I believe that at least Osimhen is the one who will most likely say goodbye to Napoli and Serie A, PSG has been on his trail for some time and he will certainly be the one to replace Mbappe

not only that, if you saw he drew but in this case it is not really at fault
Some teams like Udinese and Sassuolo will fight tooth and nail not to end up in Serie B, Sassuolo beat Inter, realize this thing
so, ok Inter win the scudetto but lost vs Sassuolo isnt a good one, but Sassuolo fight good

[LUCKMCFLY]

it's because even Osimhen saw himself playing badly, and that is Something that seemed worrying to me
<snip>

You're very quick to forget that Osimhen was away for some weeks at the AFCON and he missed a couple of matches. He's currently seating at the 3rd position on the Seria a top goal scorers chart with 14 goals in 22 matches while Martinez who he's the top scorer has 23 goals in 31 matches. That's a difference of 9, he didn't feature in 9 games and you said he did badly?

He's a fantastic striker and will always be linked to many clubs. The departure of Spalletti, coupled with how they've struggled with the two new managers could be one of the reasons he may seek for football elsewhere, but at this point no no one knows where he's heading to.

But given these things, what can be the solution? If in this case things cannot be sustained? I assume that a team is made up of 11, not just one player as good as him, also a coach cannot be so decisive, well in some cases yes, if I make a quick comparison I can immerse myself in the PL Manchester team United where they have a Ten Hag who is their caoch and he has done very badly, in fact he is the team's rpobelam only that they have not been able to remove him and the team has not prospered, in the case of Napoli well we see that to me Apparently it is both problems, the players + coach, from a professional point of view I understand that Osimhen wants to go, he is a player who dreams of winning more, so I totally understand it.

Chelsea tipped to offload huge flop in startling Victor Osimhen swap deal

Napoli have incredibly been backed to ask for Chelsea flop Mykhailo Mudryk as part of a surprise player-plus-cash deal for striker Victor Osimhen.

Osimhen was heavily linked with a Napoli exit last summer after scoring 31 goals in 39 appearances and firing the club to their first Scudetto since Diego Maradona was starring in Naples. However, Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis managed to keep his star man after warning rival clubs it would take an astronomical bid – potentially as much as £150million – to strike a deal.

So that why the interest in Serie A is really different from other competitions, maybe there are other big competitions such as La Liga or the English League which are also very impressive competitions in terms of competition but Serie A is very different.
In the past, Serie A produced lots of great and expensive players, of course, there was only one that could match it, namely La Liga and these two competitions used to be the best competitions even though now almost all competitions are developing rapidly.
Indeed, the only thing that other competitions cannot have is the Scudetto, which is only owned by Italian football in Serie A and the competition to win the Scudetto has always looked very competitive.

Ups and downs in performance of the Italian team really look quite significant and no team can really dominate the competition for several season, those at the bottom rise and beat those at the top and this always happens every season.
Even though only one team can win many titles, namely Juventus, the Scudetto still occurs more often in the history of Serie A football.
What truly impressive collaboration of games in competition of strength, this season Inter Milan won the championship but I sure next season there will be another team that is much stronger and will win the title.

In all time, it's been said and evident that the EPL is the most competitive. Other leagues in and around Europe are trying but none is as competitive as the EPL. There's been series of unpredictable occurences in the league and inasmuch as in other leagues where there are smaller uprising teams, there can still be lowly performing teams still but it's different in the EPL.

 Smaller teams can as well occasionally mess up bigger teams which makes the league lively and fun filled. Up till this moment the trophy battle is yet to be concluded in the EPL as even the top teams are struggling to earn their place comfortably at the top spot. This is actually a battle that's seeming to last up until the final match day for the teams. Whereas it's a different scenario for other leagues.

 The Bundesliga and Serie A league have produced their champions and then for the La Liga, there's even 90% probability to crown Real Madrid champions. Just a lot of reasons and evidences why EPL gives players different experience to how tough the game of football can be. I'll say again that if a player wishes to do well, then he should try succeeding in the EPL first. It more like gives first hand experience to competition and strength battle too.

[len01]

the players + coach, from a professional point of view I understand that Osimhen wants to go, he is a player who dreams of winning more, so I totally understand it.

Chelsea tipped to offload huge flop in startling Victor Osimhen swap deal

it seems like you are forgetting something that the players are not at fault but the coach + owner of Napoli is.
now let's try to understand first that before Spalletti was fired, Osimhen and the other players could appear more consistent and have a very stable performance and be able to perform very perfectly in every match.
but all of that was destroyed after Spalletti was fired simply because he couldn't help Napoli get the UCL title and what's even more ridiculous is that in one season Napoli replaced the coach 3 times.
I don't want to blame any party but it really doesn't make sense if the players have to be stressed by changing coaches all the time and have to adapt quickly to every change of coach and of course the Napoli players will not be able to perform according to the new coach's strategy.

maybe that's the reason Osimhen has the desire to leave Napoli because of the selfishness of the Napoli owner which could create obstacles for a talented player like Osimhen to have a perfect career, so Osimhen wants to leave Napoli.
of course Chelsea will fail to get Osimhen for the right reasons, currently Chelsea is experiencing the same problems as Napoli even though they have many talented players but in terms of competing for the top of the standings it is always difficult and of course Osimhen chose another team which is more guaranteed to give Osimhen a future career. which is more perfect.

 After this club won the title last season the team this season have been really poor and one thing that can attributed to it’s failure is the change in coaching staff. Like how do you change coaching staff about 2-3 times in a season and expect the boys to do well. These coaches come in with different philosophies and that affects the players mentality and for a team like them that with some good stars like Osimhen who is just beginning his career.

 He will need consistent philosophy to be able attain his height.
this inconsistent performance has made him ready to leave the club and at this point, he has now received. Osimhen to Chelsea isn’t a bad move as the club will be able to help build him as a young player till he attains the height he wants to.

 ⁠Now clubs should learn that they need stability to be able to help players build as without that the players might not be able to deliver on a stable and consistent performance and this will be really a bad one as the players tend to decline and most time want to sought better time and training including stability elsewhere.

it was a particularly obvious thing, you can`t keep a player like that away from European competitions
Napoli is not able to bring itself to a decent European competition, it is not even able to bring itself to a suitable position in the rankings
so it`s good to go away, unfortunately he has no choice

[tusandii]

If Napoli do not reach their minimum objectives, i.e. to play at least in the Europa League, they will most likely have to give up their best players, and at this rate I believe that at least Osimhen is the one who will most likely say goodbye to Napoli and Serie A, PSG has been on his trail for some time and he will certainly be the one to replace Mbappe

not only that, if you saw he drew but in this case it is not really at fault
Some teams like Udinese and Sassuolo will fight tooth and nail not to end up in Serie B, Sassuolo beat Inter, realize this thing
so, ok Inter win the scudetto but lost vs Sassuolo isnt a good one, but Sassuolo fight good

Napoli's draw is certainly not Osimhen's fault he clearly scored 1 goal for Napoli and that was the only goal scored by Napoli even other players couldn't do anything to add to the total goals, I think Napoli managed to maintain their defense until the end with a 1 goal lead but who Udinese thought they would be able to equalize in the final extra time so their match had to achieve a 1:1 draw but the 1 point that Udinese achieved could not get them out of the relegation zone.

Sassuolo also did the same thing, he beat Inter again in the match week 35 yesterday, at least he added 3 points and has now collected 29 points and is approaching Udinese by having 1 more point, Sassuolo must continue to do surprising things in the remaining matches this season so that he can congratulations and don't go to Serie B.

I believe that even if they win every single game they play after this period, they will still sell Osimhen at the end of the season. They realize that they could have sold him for 100 million last season, and more like 70 to 80 range this season and if they play him one more season then it could be 50 million, there is no need to lose even more money on this transfer, they should try to find the team with the biggest budget for a striker and sell him right away.

I still assume that Liverpool will be the one, because they are rich enough and they could afford to pay a lot, plus they are getting rid of Nunez after this season and if their new manager Arne is fine with it, they are going to definitely want to buy Osimhen out, to finally have a good striker.

It seems impossible to repeat the period where last season they played so well that they were able to win the series title for the 3rd time where they won the first trophy in 1986-1987 and the last last season, of course an extraordinary achievement considering that they have really good players. built from the ground up until in the end Napoli was able to win Serie A with players who were not well known, but they created players who had good quality.

Even though there are rumors of Osimhen's sale to PSG or any club and in the end Napoli are still at a loss even though they get a large amount of money to buy new players, of course Napoli have to start from the bottom again to form the same squad as last year, and the rhythm games like last season so that they can compete next season, even though this season it looks like they will be absent from the European League, at least Napoli can take advantage of this moment to strengthen in several lines which in my opinion are not as strong as last season, so that next season they can compete with strong clubs like Inter Milan, Juventus, AC Milan, etc...

[Sunderland]

If Napoli do not reach their minimum objectives, i.e. to play at least in the Europa League, they will most likely have to give up their best players, and at this rate I believe that at least Osimhen is the one who will most likely say goodbye to Napoli and Serie A, PSG has been on his trail for some time and he will certainly be the one to replace Mbappe

Based on the UEFA coefficient ranking, Serie A will get 5 tickets for the Champions League next season.
Napoli is in 8th place now, and 7th place will compete in the Europe Conference league.

If Napoli able to join any Europe competition in the next season then they can get extra income from it and doesnt need to sell most of their valuable players.
But it looks like it will be difficult or I can say impossible to chase the 4 point difference with Lazio, because there are only 3 matches left in this season.

99.9% Osimhen will be sell in this summer transfer window and Im sure he will join PSG, I doubt Liverpool willing to spend more than $60M to buy him.

[sokani]

Oshimen suffered an injury which required him to miss several matches...

[snip]

if he wants to move he He has to think carefully about the club he will go to. I also heard that PSG is interested in bringing him to France to replace Mbappe.

I didn't know he was injured and that's another reason why he featured in less matches. Speaking of joining PSG, I believe these are purely speculations and there's no agreement in place. I also read Liverpool and Chelsea wants his signature. Because of the dominance of PSG in the French ligue 1, he's going to win trophies but I'm not sure of european titles, but if he goes to Liverpool, I think he'll have a better chance of winning european titles.

[giammangiato]

I will try one of the last bet of year.

• Frosinone - Inter Milan i will bet on Inter Milan
• AC Milan - Cagliari i will bet on AC Milan
• Juventus - Salernitana i will bet on Juventus

Of course is easy game, Inter, Milan, Juventus
i think is easy, because big team vs small team (Salernitana is in serie B)

[el kaka22]

Stability in a club that has financial trouble is the hardest thing to do. In most nations not just in Italy, if you are a club with no big income or rich owners or anything like that financially, then in any given season when you play well enough, whichever player you had that played well could be bought for a lot of money.

You can't just magically go spend 10% of that money to buy the next star of your team, sometimes you sell a star, and you try to replace that star with other players for many years, spend even more than what you sold him for, and fail to replace that player. Even huge clubs like Barcelona had that issue, sold Neymar, spent more than 200+ to replace him, and failed. This is why stability in a teams roster is not something most teams could financially afford.

[LUCKMCFLY]

maybe that's the reason Osimhen has the desire to leave Napoli because of the selfishness of the Napoli owner which could create obstacles for a talented player like Osimhen to have a perfect career, so Osimhen wants to leave Napoli.

The thing is that Osimhen must leave, if he stays there he will burn out as a player, he has some offers from MU and also from PSG, if Osimhen wants to play and be successful he should go to PSG to replace Mbappé, because in PSG in the hands of a Luis Enrique is much better than going to a failed MU where there is a Ten Hag that has had problems with all the players, and it would not be good for him to go from a team that is bad to another that is worse, so the idea is that he seeks personal growth and that they can do things better, not for a team where they are going to suffer much more, they have to go to a team where the doors are opened more for them.

It is true that there is no competition as exciting as the English League because it has become one of the most popular and is truly favorite league for everyone from various countries, but this is not about popularity.
What concerns me is that there is really real competition or it could be said that all team have the opportunity to become champions every season, they always take turns and there is no dominance of particular team.
Look at several other competitions which always have at least 2 or 3 team that always dominate the competition for the title, especially like Ligue 1 which is always dominated by PSG without much opportunity for other teams to win the title.

Now it has reached the end of the season, in several leagues it has been decided who will win the championship title and there are also those that cannot yet be determined because there is still competition in the race for points, for Serie A itself we can see that Inter is the champion.
This is what is interesting because there is always team that becomes or Scudetto and the characteristic of Serie A is the Scudetto which other leagues cannot have.

yep, I understand what we all want to see Osimhen leave Napoli to improve his career to join the right team with the guarantee of taking his career to a higher level but to be honest a move to PSG would probably just be a great career in the domestic league and there not only getting the domestic league title but also getting money with a big salary but for a title in a big competition like the UCL it doesn't seem like PSG is the right choice.
and regarding the offer from Man United, it seems there is no harm in Osimhen accepting the offer to join Man United, but Osimhen has to look at future developments, whether Ten Hag there will be fired or retained and if Ten Hag is fired from MU, Osimhen will still be there, great hopes of joining MU to get a better career because they have better experience in big competitions compared to League 1.

-snip

Of course is easy game, Inter, Milan, Juventus
i think is easy, because big team vs small team (Salernitana is in serie B)

looks easy but very difficult to predict.
yesterday Inter helped Sassuolo to get 3 points while Milan and Juventus recently chose to end the match with a draw.
for me, betting on one team winning in each match is very risky.
but I really appreciate your betting plan, because maybe you take this risk for the right odds results.

This is why stability in a teams roster is not something most teams could financially afford.

It is a really difficult task to fill the place of a star player with a similar one. I agree with that. You can be a rich team but you still need to make a huge effort in this kind of situations. In the same way, PSG have parted ways with Messi and Neymar. Now I can't say their attacking line is more capable than before. Being rich doesn't guarantee anything.


I would like to mention another topic when it comes to finances. Officials aren't acting the same against every team about punishments.

For example I wonder how many times teams like Manchester City, PSG needed to get punishments due to exceeding FFP limits. They are overlooked but it isn't like that when it comes to small teams.

[bastisisca]

I will try one of the last bet of year.

• Frosinone - Inter Milan i will bet on Inter Milan
• AC Milan - Cagliari i will bet on AC Milan
• Juventus - Salernitana i will bet on Juventus

Of course is easy game, Inter, Milan, Juventus
i think is easy, because big team vs small team (Salernitana is in serie B)

very similar to my bet but reduced I must say

you aimed for the strongest teams thinking you were safe but I want to give you some bad news, in the case of Inter Milan for example, they are doing experiments and it could easily end like with Sassuolo, so be careful!

[giammangiato]

The thing is that Osimhen must leave, if he stays there he will burn out as a player, he has some offers from MU and also from PSG, if Osimhen wants to play and be successful he should go to PSG to replace Mbappé, because in PSG in the hands of a Luis Enrique is much better than going to a failed MU where there is a Ten Hag that has had problems with all the players, and it would not be good for him to go from a team that is bad to another that is worse, so the idea is that he seeks personal growth and that they can do things better, not for a team where they are going to suffer much more, they have to go to a team where the doors are opened more for them.

Yes, true, PSG would certainly be better or even Real Madrid who in my opinion made some under-the-table offers in hidden mode
Wherever he goes he rightly wants to play in cups and be seen at international level and he deserves it as he is a very generous player!
I love him and i am sad he leave italy, but this is .. Napoli is very shit at the moment.

[Pulsar77]

I will try one of the last bet of year.

• Frosinone - Inter Milan i will bet on Inter Milan
• AC Milan - Cagliari i will bet on AC Milan
• Juventus - Salernitana i will bet on Juventus

Of course is easy game, Inter, Milan, Juventus
i think is easy, because big team vs small team (Salernitana is in serie B)

The current odds for your choices:

• Inter win: 1.58
• Milan win: 1.41
• Juventus win: 1.14

The total odds are around 2.54 now. It is a quite big risk to bet on all of their wins imho. Especially while Milan and Juventus are on a really poor run in the Serie A for many weeks.  

However it is your choice of course, good luck with your bet.    I think Inter and Milan will win. However I can't trust Juventus anymore to be honest. They have just let go of the league for a long time.

It is true that there is no competition as exciting as the English League because it has become one of the most popular and is truly favorite league for everyone from various countries, but this is not about popularity.
What concerns me is that there is really real competition or it could be said that all team have the opportunity to become champions every season, they always take turns and there is no dominance of particular team.
Look at several other competitions which always have at least 2 or 3 team that always dominate the competition for the title, especially like Ligue 1 which is always dominated by PSG without much opportunity for other teams to win the title.

Now it has reached the end of the season, in several leagues it has been decided who will win the championship title and there are also those that cannot yet be determined because there is still competition in the race for points, for Serie A itself we can see that Inter is the champion.
This is what is interesting because there is always team that becomes or Scudetto and the characteristic of Serie A is the Scudetto which other leagues cannot have.

The English League can be regarded as the most popular and intriguing league, the favorite of many individuals across the globe. The level of competition in this league is quite fascinating because all teams have a chance to emerge as a champion every season, unlike other competitions the likes of Ligue 1 where a  particular set of team constantly dominates the competition.

 Now that we are closer to the end of the season, champions have been decided in several leagues. Take for example, in Serie A which has Scudetto that differentiates it from other competitions, Inter has been considered the champion for this season's game which happened faster but in the EPL it's a different scenario.

 The Bundesliga and Serie A league have produced their champions and then for the La Liga, there's even 90% probability to crown Real Madrid champions. Just a lot of reasons and evidences why EPL gives players different experience to how tough the game of football can be. I'll say again that if a player wishes to do well, then he should try succeeding in the EPL first. It more like gives first hand experience to competition and strength battle too.
