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

[babo]

Inter are maintaining their lead by 3 points against Milan now. And this gap is quite likely to get bigger at the weekend! 

The reason why is that Milan are away against Roma in this round. It's a quite tough one and I'm not sure about them. Allegri has a really hard job ahead.

Napoli could also be further from the title rivalry. They are also away against Juventus which is another difficult match. Meanwhile Inter host Pisa today...

Napoli's decline is crazy, don't say it's not true but their performance has dropped significantly, playing both Serie A and the Champions League with the pace of the man with the new fake hair is not easy for any player.
so you understand well that it can't be easy for them to keep up this pace
I feel sorry for the Napoli fans, but I enjoy seeing Antonio Conte fail

Interestingly, because Juventus lost their last game, now Como is close to even Europa as well, they could get one more win when Juventus loses and they will be at fifth place which would be Europa league levels for next season.

Since there are still some good chances of finishing in a better position than the one they currently occupy, this could start with this round that begins today, for example:

- Roma, currently in 4th place, will play against Milan. In this game, Roma risks dropping points (either a loss or a draw).

- Juventus, currently in 5th place, will play against Napoli. In this game, Juventus risks dropping points (either a loss or a draw).

Meanwhile, Como will play against Torino, who haven't won in 3 consecutive games. Therefore, Como has a better chance of winning and moving up to 5th place, getting very close to 4th.

I still would suggest conference league though, because for a team that will be in European competitions for the first time ever, then I would suggest the lowest place to start, and grow gradually in order to perform better, and Europa league would be too hard for them.

It's not about performance, but about how much money Como can earn in the European Champions League or Europa League if they qualify that makes it more important for them to fight for those access positions to those two competitions. The conference league would give less money to Como's coffers.

Inter needs to realize that they can't keep grinding both competitions and still come out on top and they need to learn to rest a bit. Last season they lost because Napoli didn't had that trouble, and Napoli was rested every week and won, whereas Inter had to fight all the way until the final and lost.

This is why it is quite clear that Inter will need to realize the league is more important at the moment ,and while surely UCL is good, they can't really tire themselves out, do as well as you can but leave it early if you have to. If they really think they can win UCL, then they are kidding themselves because there is no way that they would win UCL and they need to realize they can't do that and need to relax about it.

No mate. Both UCL and League are all important for Inter. They can get huge money by still playing in the UCL, while also try to chase the trophy in the domestic league this season. I know their player are so tired, but they have no choice. Relying upon their depth with no quality is just suiciding themselves in the title race or UCL right now.
It's okay to sometimes regularly do rotiation, but it's the thing that must have done.

Since they're a club with no good financial. So it's difficult for them to build good depth like what EPL team did. So they have no choice other than give more intensity to the main squad to play.

Como is definitely the revelation of this season. Their style of play is always beautiful to watch and is starting to yield positive results with some consistency. I'm not surprised by their performances because their vision and philosophy were already evident last year.
Yesterday against Lazio, they played top-notch football, dominating the match from start to finish and creating some truly spectacular goalscoring opportunities, consolidating their sixth place in the standings.

Como this season in the Serie A league they appear different in every match 3-0 to beat Lazio is something very great in my opinion, a very dominant playing style also with good execution shows that this team has good quality from the way it plays, but when facing a team that is stronger than them sometimes they like to lose that style and start to lose focus among their players, for example against Milan, they did not play as crazy as they did against Lazio even though they still controlled the ball dominance.

The shots of Lazio football team were less in this match which were only 8 and 4 shots were on target and possession percentage of that team was not good in this match which was 34 percent in this match and passes of that team were very low in this match . They could not possess the football for more time and pass accuracy of that team was not great by that team. Players collaboration always matters a lot in every match and we saw weak collaboration in team And that was the reason they lose this match at the end of the match. The shots of opponent team were more in number and these were 9 in this match and 5 shots were on target. The possession percentage of that team was 66 percent in this match and passes of that team were more in number and these were 672 in this match.

YES, the statistical results that we can see in Lazio's match results are not as good as the previous season, this season they do not have much strength as they are now in 9th place in the standings, M Sarri is not very powerful with the strategy he built, if we talk about the players, these two teams are not much different in my opinion, it's just that I want to say that Como is a dark horse team in the series that can threaten other big teams, even though they are sometimes inconsistent but they can provide surprises at unpredictable times.

Inter are coming back to the Serie A with a 3-1 upset against Arsenal in the CL.    They have really lost all of those matches against above average teams there in league phase so far.

But I think the Pisa match tonight can be considered as a chance to make up for it. I don't expect anything else than a win by at least a 2-goal difference. I know Pisa drew with 2 top 10 teams in the league lately but I don't expect Inter to join them also.

You're a funny man Babo I also don’t like Antonio Conte that much but there’s only little he could do with this Napoli squad, I feel it’s a makeshift squad and they were only trying to hold it together. I knew from the beginning of the season this decline was bound to happen.
I might add that the quality of football in the Italian league have dropped significantly, I don’t know if anyone else is noticing so.
Inter is the only one trying to keep up the performance and even they aren’t who they used to be.

Last year Antonio Conte had an easy ride, they didn't have any major midweek commitments, but even so they won by just one point in the league table.
Obviously this year things have got more complicated! They have more matches to play and somehow the jester has to divert attention to other teams! He's always done that and always will.
