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

[Lida93]

Napoli's humiliating loss to Atalanta at home shows how far the Napoli side are from being perfect as some people are considering them to be near that level after they successfully moved to the top of the table due to the charismatic performance of the team and their new coach Antonio Conte, but it seems to me that Antonio Conte has much fixing to do in Napoli after the outcome of the game.

In fact, i expected Napoli to win, unfortunately i got this bet wrong but it happens, and that's the beauty of football, the fact that it's totally unpredictable!
In any case, it's okay. Napoli can't win every match. In fact, Antonio Conte seems calm and serene to me, i can say wrong but seems calm.

Yes,  if you look at their matches before this loss, it is known that all the matches are won in a few matches. We all expected that Napoli would win the match but they would lose the match without scoring a single goal.  It is expected from them that it will play better in the next matches and win the matches. No, it is wrong but they will be weakened by the loss of Atlanta.Their next match will be watching the winners of Napoli.

Due to the strength of the opponent that they would be facing next it would be very difficult to say if they would win but this loss may also be a source of inspiration to Napoli who might decide to fight and at least pull one point for themselves. Napoli are still going through a transitioning process with their new manager and such flip flops are expected from the team as they face different teams in the league who play differently with different pace and strategy, but with time, the Napoli side are going to be more better than this.

True, I hadn't even paid much attention and I have to say he's good
not only because he scored 11 goals obviously
but apparently he's also very good at playing, at least from what I've read
from now on I will definitely keep an eye on him to see if he can be the next champion

Mateo Retegui performance was already seen well when he played for Genoa in his first season, although he did not score many goal, he could contribute well in various conditions and game situations that were happening, this was the beginning of Atalanta interest in him.
Now in his first season at Atalanta, Mateo Retegui has returned to appear and play very well, rumors circulating do state the interest of several big European team to be able to bring him in, but it would be loss for Atalanta if they let go of Mateo Retegui.

clearly I understood your idea about it, I understand what you mean
however, as usual, the championship is long and we can say nothing about the future
the only thing we know at the moment is that they are all together in very few places if you notice too
so the ranking is very short

I have seen Napoli record which is better than Atalanta but still Napoli lost by 3 goals. I was very disappoint that Napoli could not score a single goal and lose this match badly and reduce their win. However, in 2 matches this week, Napoli have lost 1 match and draw 1. In which they lost to Atalanta and drew with Inter Milan, in which both scored one goal each to draw the match.Their new coach will also have some influence but Atlanta own success and hard work also play into that. The coach may have improved their work more but the priority will not be in the name of the coach.  Because Atalanta is also better but not that much better than Napoli which is why they lose this match.Napoli have weakened so they need to improve themselves to make up for what they have fallen short of in the next few matches.

We all know that Atalanta is a team full of surprises. They even never lost in the last 10 matches, and they are even capable also to endure strong teams like Arsenal. Which mean, they're a team to be reckoned with. So, it could be a blunder if Conte feels Atalanta is a team just full of luck because when I look at how their attacker pierces Napoli's defense easily that could be have problem with Conte's strategy. While Inter, Conte should be know how they played because he was trained before.

I think this is just a situation problem. Maybe because tight Napoli schedule that makes team could be a weakness. because the problem that is happening to the current top teams today, they face a tight schedule that makes their player easy to got fatique and injuries.

In the Seria A, Atalanta is an underrated squad, they regularly come up with unexpected results in games that we believe they could lose. I don't think Napoli could lose to Atalanta at home without scoring any goals, with the record in their previous games this season. Atalanta put on an amazing performance at the end of the previous season when they won the Europa League, but I didn't think they would be able to maintain their winning record after how badly they performed in their opening three games this season. Gian Piero Gasperin deserves praise because it is clear that he is an experienced manager.

However, Conte is an outstanding manager who is used to the Seria A style, it is strange that his team suffered in the previous two games, he needs to improve his attacking line because they lost several chances to score goals. In the game against Atalanta, they had 13 shots, three were on target, but they did not score, while Atalanta had three shots on target, all were converted into goals. They must improve in the coming games or risk losing their top of the league position, as they are only one point above Atalanta, Inter, Lazio and Fiorentina.

Napoli is currently in very bad condition in the previous few matches, I think Napoli should be superior in Serie A. Napoli's two defeats show that there must be serious changes by the coach and club management. Atalanta and Inter Milan are not clubs that are easy for Napoli to beat and I think this season Atlanta has been more successful, perhaps because of the new coach or having a different way of playing last season.
If we look at last season Napoli were very reliable, why in the middle of this season it seems like there is something wrong with them, the match is still long if there is improvement in the team they still can't win the next match.

Exactly, its a team that isn't highly regarded but is actually very strong.
They played, i won't say at par, but with dignity against Real Madrid when they didn't have all these injured players so i would say that they are a much more than decent team.
I personally think it needs to grow further to become as dangerous as the big consolidated teams

Still Napoli football team has first position on the points table after losing consecutively 2 matches. They lose one  match one sided that surprised many fans . Napoli football team has 26 points on the points table and they played first 10 matches with full confidence and they won 8 matches out of 10 matches and they became successful to draw 2 matches and after these 10 matches,they became overconfident anc then they did many mistakes in next two matches and they lose these matches. Now Napoli football team is looking in pressure because they lose last two matches and they want to stay on first position because if they lose next match and Atalanta  football team won next match, Atalanta team will get first position on the table.

I really like Atalanta as a team, I must say that they are good and consistent over time.
Maybe they are a little slow to change, but they are really constant in improving.
I remember when their coach was Carletto Mazzone, a true legend of Italian football.

Serie A has too many teams very close to each other, so we still do not know who is the favourite at the moment. The first place is Napoli and they have only 26 points, and Juventus is 6th place with 24 points, so it's literally just one game change. So by logic, current sixth place Juventus, could be above first place Napoli in a single game, doesn't mean Juventus will be first place, it just means Napoli would fall further down.

This type of close knit grouping at the top makes things harder to judge which team is the best team this season. It's obvious that Napoli is doing better than last season, but we still don't know how great they will go, look at their last two games to see how they are not really that great at the moment. I believe other places are quite close too, 7th place Milan has only 3 point difference with 10th place as well, so we really do not know what's going to happen there, but Milan definitely doesn't deserve to be that much low.

I agree with you, Atalanta is indeed a strong team and in the last few season they have really shown very good improvement which has even always been team with quite dominant competition for Serie-A.
But before facing Real Madrid in the UCL match they will first meet Young Boys and we will see how this match turns out, if Atalanta is able to play well and win then it is possible for them to be able to perform well again against Real Madrid.

[bitgolden]

Retegui definitely looks like the type of player that could go to Arsenal, they need a striker badly and this dude looks like the perfect player to play there as well. I believe in him to make a change. Plus, Arsenal is missing many players right now, they are not terrible in the league at the moment, but they are looking quite terrible and I believe that if we could see that work somehow, then we could potentially see Arsenal get a better position by the end as well. This January window could be a very active one, too many teams have too many missing players, Real have missing players, City have some, Arsenal have some, and United have a new coach who may want some players.

All in all, we could see about 500+ million in total move around the world if we see an active transfer window. This could be one of the big ones, I expect a lot of money to be paid for Retegui, to be fair Arsenal will probably buy some expensive striker, no matter who he is.

Like 2 matches are still not convincing enough to see who is really at the top of the standings with a bigger point difference. Or at least 5 matches would be more convincing.
IMO, this competitive rivalry started from the meeting of several top teams which ended in a draw and the favorite team actually got a defeat like Inter vs Milan which finally Milan won making Inter lose points.

And in the upcoming match I have a little speculation,

• Napoli vs Roma (draw)
• Parma vs Atalanta (Atalanta win)
• Como vs Fiorentina (Fiorentina win)
• Verona vs Inter (Inter win)
• Lazio vs Bologna (Lazio win)
• Milan vs Juventus (draw)

If the results are like this, in the upcoming matches we will see Atalanta or Fiorentina leading serie A temporarily.

Yes  ,you are right. Napoli football team is in better condition so far but one lose can change their rank in points table . Because below the Atalanta lies 4  teams which have same points and which team will win next match will be at the top . Atalanta can get the first position because their players are working for the success and Napoli team performance is not good in last few matches and they will lose their position . Inter Milan is also good team for the first position because that team also has 25 points  and have 4 position on points table and Lazio football team is at 5 position with 25 points. Competition is good between teams because all team want to get first position on the table and they are doing their best to get first rank.

That is good prediction speculation and there are two big match with Napoli vs AS Roma and AC Milan vs Juventus, you have speculation on both of these big match will end in draw but I think for Napoli vs AS Roma not, but for AC Milan vs Juventus it has big chance with draw.
Clearly Napoli has the advantage on paper and if you look at the odds given by the bookies, Napoli is still with the number @1.80 and this is big number for favorite team but in any case Napoli will definitely fight for their victory to stay at the top of the standings.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Yes,  if you look at their matches before this loss, it is known that all the matches are won in a few matches. We all expected that Napoli would win the match but they would lose the match without scoring a single goal.  It is expected from them that it will play better in the next matches and win the matches. No, it is wrong but they will be weakened by the loss of Atlanta.Their next match will be watching the winners of Napoli.

I think Napoli's defeat was coming, I sincerely think that the fact that they won Serie A at that time was due a lot to the intervention of Osimhen, honestly without that player Napoli would never have gone far, of course I'm not disparaging the whole team, but Osimhen for me was key, he was a guarantee that if he was on the field they would win, because the skill of that player is impressive and he infected the team with playing better, it's difficult when a team starts to misalign the players, they took many out in the season after being champions, it was not the same anymore, since that moment I have not seen them well again.

This match is very important for Napoli to maintain its position at the top of the standings because a small mistake will make its position shifted down because the clubs below it have almost the same points as it, I think Napoli will try hard to achieve a full victory when playing against Roma but as we know it is likely that Roma will be handled by its new coach when playing against Napoli and this is quite a tough challenge for both teams to compete for points so I also think both teams will get a draw and Napoli will be shifted by one of them, namely Inter Milan, Atalanta and Lazio depending on the number of goals scored to win the match.
