⚽ Lega Serie A 🇮🇹 (Italian League) Prediction Thread 2025/2026 ⚽

This is how it looks in the standings after 20th week matches...

Let's not forget that Juventus and Roma have played one more match than the others in top 6. But I must say that I loved the way Juventus played yesterday. The fans had better enjoy this rare moment this season. 

Inter still can't get away from others. They had a chance for it but Conte didn't give up that easy. But how much longer will it go on like this? We'll see...

and yes, when they made the huge mistake of drawing with Napoli, no one knew how to take advantage of it.
Napoli was losing, but managed to grab a draw in extremis.
If he had lost the match it would have been really difficult, in any case everything is still in the running, all the teams are practically in the running for the championship..

[Distraction]

Great job by Juventus indeed! Maybe I still don't see them in the title race at all. But they really need this kind of satisfying wins for themselves. Helps with the confidence above all! 

By the way I still have no doubt about Inter to become the champions this season. Chivu is inexperienced with big teams and so but whatever. He still has what it takes to make it I think.

At least by getting better results in the matches remaining except the big ones.

Juventus is gradually climbing up the ladder because looking at the position that Juventus finds themselves on the table it obvious that the coach is doing a great job. Because Juventus started this season on a not too good note as they were struggling at the start of the season. The coach has been able to stabilize the team as Juventus is playing better and looks compact when playing the attack too has improved as Juventus finds it difficult initially.


Finding themselves in forth place is not a too bad thing because, the season is still far from over so there is high chances of Juventus challenging for the title because the point gap is not that much in among the top four teams.what Juventus needs is maintaining this form they finds themselves.

The race between first and third place remains very tight, with all three teams still in with a chance to win the Scudetto. Inter drew against Napoli, while Milan also drew against a slightly easier opponent. Juventus and Roma now have a chance to join the title race because they are level on points with Napoli, even though Inter Milan, Milan, and Napoli have yet to play their 20th match. This season, the race for the championship is a bit more intense and perhaps the outcome is still unclear at this point.

they are making an effort and they are working, I think this is the most important thing at the moment
It takes time, you can't expect them to be at the top of everything straight away, and you also need decent players
Over the years, the scouting of new, young and strong players has worsened; in the past it was more efficient (see champions like Zidane and so on bought for little money).

It hasn’t been this exciting since i started following serie a, which was around 2012 :)Napoli are in third place for a reason, at least that’s how I see it. Anguissa, Lukaku, De Bruyne, Neres , those are the players who are missing, yet Napoli are still putting in good performances against strong teams. I’m convinced that once all the players are available , which should happen soon , they would be well ahead of Inter.
For now, everything is still open, and as you said, practically everyone is in the title race. I couldn’t even try to predict it, but of course i’d love Napoli to defend the title ...

[Ruttoshi]

What an unpleasant result for Napoli as they drop two points again. They have dropped two points in their last two matches. McTomminay tried his best to rescue the team from drawing the game just like he did against Inter but all his efforts was thwarted by Parma strong defense. The match ended goalless.

If Inter wins Lecce in the next match coming up in 30 minutes time, they will be six points on clear stand from Napoli. I think Napoli is gradually losing out in the title race because Milan is ahead of them.

[Lillominato89]

Napoli vs Parma 0-0
It's incredible that Napoli can't manage to win at home against a team at the bottom of the table. They only add one more point to their tally.
Despite everything, Inter are not taking advantage of the situation and are drawing 0-0 against Lecce. If they win, they will send Napoli to -6.

In total they have lost 6 points in the last 3 matches, it is understandable if it is because of the result with Inter but in the other 2 matches they lost those points from the relegation zone team, Lukaku absence is very pronounced, now they need to work hard to restore what has been lost because Serie a has entered 21 matches where each next match is very important, considering that not only Inter and Milan are currently their opponents but also Juventus and Roma.

It is a really interesting day in the Serie A. Those matches were technically really easy for Inter and Napoli both. But Napoli have already surprised people with a goalless draw.

All those attempts and goal expectation but still no outcome. Conte just can't apply his plans well for the team this season. They are likely to trail behind Inter more in time.

By the way it is still 0-0 in the Inter - Lecce one now. I still think Inter won't lose points.

I was really really disappointed by the result and it's not the first as this would be the second feature with Parma this season that Napoli were unable to actually find the back of the post and it's just too poor for me. Good thing for them is that inter Milan on the hand are also playing very poorly against lecce as they are currently struggling too to find the back of the net and the game is almost at the end with just 10 minutes of game time left, if inter draws their game it would help salvage their fight for the title as the point difference will still be at the range worth fighting for.

Inter finally managed to win the match against Lecce. But I must say that they struggled quite a bit to take home the three points, all thanks to a goal from their youngest striker, Pio Esposito.
Now they are six points ahead of Napoli.
Napoli played with all their strength but failed to beat a fragile opponent like Parma. These two lost points will weigh heavily on Napoli.

First away win at Sassuolo since 2022. That's some record, specially considering all the managers they went through this time.
A truly great match. Solidity, pressing, desire, pursuit of the second and third goals, built-up play, and much more.

Sasuolo's two core defenders played badly; they both made 2 fatal blunders, Muharemovich and Idzes. The goal-scoring flow was the same as against Sassuolo previously. Muharemovic always has a poor defense, and Jay Idzes seems not to cover his position. From my observation Sassuolo's defenders must have also been exhausted, 90 minutes of total defense under total pressure. Meanwhile, Sassuolo's attackers and midfield couldn't attack at all because they were busy supporting the defense.

[tygeade]

Four points isn't that much, if next week Inter loses their games, they are going to be same points as Milan, and one point with Napoli, that shows that top three is still very close to each other. Juventus played more games so they do look close but they could very well be just different, even if Inter loses the game, Juventus would be still a bit behind, but at the end of the day they are getting close too and depends on consistency that they may do something good in the end about this as well.

I do hope that things get a lot better with time but at the current situation we have to realize that things will not be easy for Inter, because they are required to keep winning all the time not to be in trouble for the rest of the season.

I like Sassuolo as a team; I've always liked them, to be honest. They spend little and bring in a lot.
Tonight, Como vs. Milan will be played, with the city on lockdown due to fears of a violent clash between fans.

If I'm not mistaken, this was the match they wanted to play in Australia, what a bunch of bums.

It 6 points mate and if eventually AC Milan fails to beat Como today which i suspect so then it will still remain 6 point after match week 20. In a very competitive league and season like this 6 points Is a lot of point, currently inter are going about their game in the right way, they are getting their win in any possible way, I was thinking they would drop points yesterday but they did get that late winner which put them in a very good place in the league.

AC Milan will be playing away from home today, they will be visiting Como, we all know how good and Stubborn of a side Como can be, and if Milan manages to get all 3 points today Then they would have to put in one of their best performances of the season. Como is on the other hand are pushing to get at least an European football for next season and the way they are going they might get that.

It going to be an exciting game to watch and for sure I’m definitely going to watch, now as a gambler I think I will be gambling on both teams to score in this fixture.

[dezoel]

It hasn’t been this exciting since i started following serie a, which was around 2012 :)Napoli are in third place for a reason, at least that’s how I see it. Anguissa, Lukaku, De Bruyne, Neres , those are the players who are missing, yet Napoli are still putting in good performances against strong teams. I’m convinced that once all the players are available , which should happen soon , they would be well ahead of Inter.
For now, everything is still open, and as you said, practically everyone is in the title race. I couldn’t even try to predict it, but of course i’d love Napoli to defend the title ...

It has been competitive once in a while, just not with this many teams. Normally teams are close but two teams are at the top and close to each other, not three or four.

Just last season for example, Inter lost the league with only 1 points, but third place was 7 points behind. Before that Inter won easily of course, but it does happen where two teams are close, this season there was a very long period where four teams were very close, now only two teams can be considered close and Inter is getting away with the leadership at this level.

I think this is a pretty bad result for Napoli. Yes, as you said, they have dropped 6 points from their last 3 matches. If you exclude the result against Inter Milan, Napoli has already dropped 4 points, which would have put them in second place. I say that because I think Verona and Parma are actually not difficult opponents to beat, considering the performances of both teams. I'm sure no one expected them to be unable to beat the two bottom teams. I think the loss of Lukaku has had a significant impact on their attack. However, Napoli still has Hojlund, but unfortunately, Hojlund couldn't help the team win. This result has raised doubts among fans because at the start of the season, Napoli were title contenders alongside Inter and Milan. Although they are only 6 points behind Inter, I think it is very difficult to expect Inter Milan to lose and lose many points in the second half of the season.

If I'm not mistaken, this was the match they wanted to play in Australia, what a bunch of bums.

This will be an exciting match as both teams are aiming to win, when I checked the bookie's odds, I was a bit surprised, because Milan is priced at x2.43, as the favorite team here, the odds are quite high, but there's no reason not to put them in the betting slip, given Milan superior H2H record.
Btw, about the possibility of a clash, is it related to the same region that both teams occupy? I'm not Italian so I don't know exactly why.

They're pulling ahead, and right now it's already by 6 points. Considering how Napoli,and especially Milan,can slip up, unfortunately that gap might end up being even bigger… The difference now is much bigger than before. And then you've got Juventus and Roma, and even Como, who are playing really well this season. Fabregas has really surprised me in a good way. Nico Paz would fit perfectly at Real Madrid right now,they're exactly missing a player like him who constantly works all over the pitch. All in all, i'm expecting a fight from Napoli and i'd really like to see them defend their title this season
