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

[Lida93]

I knew that Udinese would not stay at the top for too long. After a great start, they finally faced a stronger team (well, sort of) and got dismantled 3-0 by Roma.
Udinese looked really pale and didn't show much in that game. Their possession stat was 38% and they only managed to make 2 shots on target.
As I said before, I expect them to finish the season somewhere in the middle of the table.
Strangely enough, it was Roma's first win of the season. Just like Milan, they seem to take their time to pick up speed and perform according to expectations.

Well, this result should make Roma managers understand that they made a mistake by sending De Rossi away.
Could it be that after 1 week without De Rossi the team could totally change its face? This victory still belongs to the old coach, not the new one.
Unfortunately, sometimes owners don't think straight.

This is very supportive of team managers need to consider before kicking out De Rossi, seen during the week Roma without De Rossi there were many changes to the team even though Roma won. Actually it was not a mistake made by the team manager but a key player who has given many championship titles like De Rossi is still suitable to be maintained this season that is what Roma fans expect.

Despite the circumstances surrounding coach De Rossi's sack, I still do not think that mediocrity or incompetence of any form should be tolerated hence if things are not going as expected by the Roma management then they reserve the right to take any decision they deem fit in order to improve the performance of the team and if terminating De Rossi's contract is one of those decisions then it should be respected by everybody involved. De Rossi in my own opinion is a good coach and did perform very well with the team before the end of last season but failed to improve things at the club this season, though a lot of people think they could have given him more time instead which I think was the right to do but the management thought otherwise and took a different decision rather.

[hahay]

Their squad are well rounded in this season, each player give their own contribution on the team instead of two years ago where both Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia carried Napoli. It's better with the current composition because if one player leave, it's expected the substitute player can replace his position.

But, I'm impressed with Juventus since they conceded zero goal, it's really an impressive achievement.

I think Juventus have higher chance to become a champion if we judge from the current statistic.

Yes, true, he conceded very few goals, but he also scored very few and this is not good if you want to win or do something.
I think that Juventus should ask themselves some questions about it, I say this for their own good, not to always be annoying and be a know-it-all.
If you score few goals, ask yourself a question.

Although Napoli has 11 goals so far, but Napoli has conceded 4 goals, and that means Napoli has a total of 7 goals so far. While Juventus has 9 goals so far and Juventus has not conceded at all and that means Juventus has a total of 9 goals so far. With a Goal Difference like that,  then of course Juventus is still better than Napoli but unfortunately, Juventus has three wins and three draws, while Napoli has four wins one draw and one loss which makes the points between Napoli and Juventus one point apart at this time.

Even so, I also still can't assume the team that will win the scudetto this season because of course, there will still be many unexpected results that will happen throughout this season. But indeed, at least because at the beginning of this season Napoli and Juventus have good results, then of course they can be candidates for the trophy but still any result can still happen  at the end of the season.

What I always say, ad nauseam, is that everyone must do their own job.
When I go to the doctor I don't give him the diagnosis and if I go to the lawyer I don't tell him the laws he has to use.
A manager is not a coach and since he cannot understand anything, he should have an advisor who explains to him that he cannot evaluate a coach in a few days of work.
Easy but not too easy for some Roma minds

I don't expect Udinese to be in a good position every season because they always play very poor every season, although sometimes they play very well every season Udinese performance always looks poor before the end of the season, I have watched Udinese's performance for two seasons now and they have not shown any sign of a team that wants to win a trophy or making any progress, from the beginning when some people think Udinese can do a better thing this season I know that it will not last and their good performance won't last.

Udinese is not the kind of team that someone will bet on to win because they always find it difficult to score goals, especially against big teams, Udinese was the one cut people games last season in Series A league because some people bet on both teams should score and even if the opponents score a first goal it will be very hard for Udinese to equalize the goal.

your calculations are absolutely correct, it has a better difference between goals scored and goals conceded.
follow me in my speech I'll make you understand, if he continues not to score many matches could end 0-0, therefore 1 point.
Playing defensively exposes you to being subjected to others and their game and this is not good, it's better to play offensively without exposing yourself too much, this is my opinion

What you said is true because they have not been performing the way they are supposed to and betting on such team is a risky one especially those that bet using a huge amount of the money, though I don't no if this is the right time to say this about them because the season is still a bit far and I don't no if they would come around to peak form later but until then they are not reliable for someone to put there hope on in terms of wining a bet, though they still have a good chance to qualify for the champions League next season because already there position on the table is not bad to compete for the fourth position, so if they win Lecce on there coming match they would be on the third position. Although in the aspect of betting both teams to score on there match I think they have been better this season because most of there matches always ended on both sides scoring, so perhaps that method could also be okay in terms of betting them.

[LUCKMCFLY]

And just imagine what it would be like if Mourinho had the freedom to bring in the players he wanted. Surely Roma would really be a team that could compete with the top teams.
But unfortunately Roma management limited Mourinho from spending too much money in terms of bringing in new players. Well, with just simple players, Mourinho was able to give a slightly good achievement to the team.
Now it's all over and let's just see if Roma can get a good achievement with a new coach.

I don't doubt it, but things have to be done this way in order to form a good team. Maybe Mourinho is looking for quality and needs the club to spend, but it is necessary so that the club doesn't fall behind. Instead of a team and a club, I will always prefer to see my club in a good position, fighting to possibly be in the UCL or any other competition, than to remain among the last places and without any good wins Of course, that's my way of thinking. I think that things are different when they are put in agreement with other things within the club Maybe the club takes care of its finances and doesn't go for expensive players, it's all understandable.

This season won't be easy at all for Inter seemingly - unlike last season. I guess you think the same after seeing them losing 7 points in 6 games until now.

They have really challenging competitors ahead of them now also.



Napoli are far stronger than last season after bringing Conte. You know how often they changed coaches previously. I criticized them a lot for them because players needed to adapt to a different coach very often. But at least they made their last choice correctly.    Now they are back in the title race again. Just like the days with Spalletti.

Juventus are also much better with Motta. In fact they haven't made so many signings but Motta is really good with managing the current squad anyway.

Milan started far worse but they recovered quickly. They even got ahead of Inter by beating them lately.

...

I can only be happy about this since in this way we have a varied championship.
From a betting point of view, unfortunately this complicates the picture a little. I learned to bet on some La Liga matches to find easier ones.
So I make two bets, one in Serie A and one in La Liga

your table also shows one thing, Juventus has the worst attack among the four teams at the top.
the defense is very good, it means that the department and the strategy make the team very cautious
the attacking department on the other hand is in quite a bad way I see.. only 9 goals

[Hirose UK]

Today Napoli vs Como will start the 7th week of the match and so far Napoli has played very well in 6 matches by getting 4 win 1 loss and 1 draw making them the team that is temporarily leading the standings with 13 points.
It just that looking at Napoli game from each match shows that there are not many goal and during the loss of Osimhen they are not team that has sharp attack line and can break into the opponent goal with many goal, now we really see Napoli shortcomings when they lose their goal machine.
For today they also play at home and are the favorite team with odds @1.47 while Como itself has odds @7.00 and from all aspects of the advantages of each team I see that Napoli will be able to win and for the time being they can stay at the top.

The chances of Como winning against Napoli in Naples are very low. Let's be clear, Napoli has recovered its mind (its body was there).
Now with a real coach, Antonio Conte, even the game and therefore I really don't think he will be beaten by Como.
At least this is my opinion.

But in my opinion the management's decision to fire De Rossi is not an entirely bad decision, no one wants their club to experience a continuous decline if that continues to happen they will be left further behind. From the start Roma did not employ De Rossi for a long period of time and according to his agreement he actually only trained Roma until the end of the season (last season) but because he had made good results towards the end of the season the management tried to give him more time but unfortunately this season the coach did not give good results at the beginning of the season and had not won, that is what made the club management not continue their cooperation again because they were worried that Roma's performance would get worse.

[bastisisca]

Today Napoli vs Como will start the 7th week ...

I also think Napoli will win, even if I have some small doubts caused by the fact that Como beat Atalanta.
I won't forget that match. It affected me deeply and also made me lose the bet, given that I had bet on Atalanta to win.
We'll see, I'm curious but I won't bet on the match.

There is some new update on Pogba situation. 

First Fabrizio Romano posted the tweet below. His doping punishment has been reduced to only 18 months. So he is going to be able to play in official games as of March 2025.

Later I saw this.

His contract can still be terminated. It looks like Juventus isn't very happy with his return as their plans about him aren't clear. 

Truthfully I don't expect a wonderful performance by Pogba after his return. At least not in the long term I can say. Because his effort before this incident wasn't high level. Besides he is quite prone to injury, so...

I prefer Napoli to win this match. Como beat Atlanta in the previous match because of several mistakes that Atlanta players couldn't take advantage of, so Como continued to control the match so that the end of the match was very tense. Napoli has given a good game as well as Como with a good performance at home, let's look at this match. Napoli will take the full 3 points at home.

Is it for real? I'm really surprised.    I just read that Pogba defended himself like he didn't dope intentionally. After that he was just waiting on CAS to get good news but I was really doubtful anyway.

Now I'm also wondering what happens... I don't feel like Juventus will get him back in the squad like nothing happened. There is a quite good chemistry in the team currently. Motta would like to take his steps cautiously. Honestly I don't think Juventus needs him now. They are already playing strongly in each area. They are a title contender in the Serie A for now.    Pogba just needs to work really hard in training prove himself back again.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Juventus are also much better with Motta. In fact they haven't made so many signings but Motta is really good with managing the current squad anyway.

From all this the imminent recovery of a Juve that has come from an agonizing classification, for many moments I thought they were not going to achieve it, now seeing Juve win does give me peace of mind and seeing that despite everything they are adding points, it does not matter how they have done, the important thing is that they are doing well, they are adding 3 points to go up and that is what matters, the other teams survive as they can, I like how they have been able to get ahead, but the team that I see bad is Roma, obviously Roma is going through a very bad moment after DeRossi left.

[babo]

you will immediately notice the positive streak of Napoli and Milan
while Juventus don't lose, but draw... and the draw is 1 point and not 3
It's very clear that in this case Milan, if they continue to play well, are destined to overtake Inter too
