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

[Lillominato89]

I really hope it reflects on Milan result at the end of the season, I can’t even remember when last Milan challenge for the Scudetto. The big problem I have with them in spending this money is that there is no any signing of a huge quality player except for Modric who is already cut up with age, then maybe their record signing this summer Christopher Nkuku which they brought from Chelsea.

Nkuku have been an injury prone throughout his career at Chelsea, I pray that doesn’t continue at Milan, because I believe if he his fully fit he can bring in a lot of difference in the squad. I really want the old Milan back, the Milan that will challenge for the scudetto every season, so far they are not living to they expectation as they only pick up just 3 point in the 2 opening games.

then surely there are internal problems within the company, I'm 100% sure of that otherwise there's no explanation as to why it was so awful
In my opinion the problem is related to the fact that they argued and created confusion and bad mood for everyone.
you can't work this way, in my opinion

Which Italian football club does not have internal problems? I think 99% of all teams. We have been sailing in bad waters for decades unfortunately.
I think the only teams currently enjoying good health are Napoli and Genoa, then the rest of the teams are drowning in debt upon debt, including Milan

[Roseline492]

I'd like to ask you the same question. Who have you liked the most among the new transfers on the first 2 weeks? 

Just in the source, I can also say De Bruyne is one of the names. I had doubts about him because of his injury history in his last times at Manchester City. But he still made a good start at his new team.

Curiously waiting for Højlund too. Maybe this will be the place his career goes higher...

Napoli had one of the best signing among all the clubs in there league because De Bruyne is not a little player in the pitch and it was because of his talent Manchester City became too attached with him, I don't even think that injury will affect him that much in Napoli, at his first match in Serie A he scored one and they still win the next so they now have 6 point, this signing will produce good thing for Napoli no doubt because aside from De Bruyne performance, Serie A is easy to perform than were he comes from. Gradually the pillars of Manchester City are leaving them.

I agree that Napoli is one of the good health teams in Serie A because they have managed the club finances very well. Not only in terms of finances, Napoli has also been quick to adapt to the modern game, with flexible strategies and a stronger player lineup.

Yes, it's true, there are no longer any clubs that can compete with European teams. Our clubs' finances are in a dire situation.
The only one who can afford something and make heavy purchases is Como who is spending his money very well, they have an important company behind them and it shows.

Yes, I agree with you, this De Bruyne is the best purchase they could have made, he is truly an incredible player who can really play in all parts of the midfield, there are no players like him anymore, and they did well to get him at a good price, among other things.

Definitely Kevin De Bruyne played exceptionally well for Manchester City, but that doesn't necessarily mean he will perform the same way at Napoli. At Manchester City, there were concerns about his recurring injuries, which is why they decided to let him go. I believe it's too early to judge how he will adapt to Napoli's style which is quite different from the one he's used to at Manchester City. By the middle of the season it will likely be clear how he’s adjusting. That said, I wish him to demonstrate strong performances and succeeds with his new team.

Yes, Napoli is playing very well at the moment. They are currently improving a lot compared to before. For example, Napoli won the Serie A in the 2024-2025 season. The way they are improving now. If they continue like this, it seems that they will reach a good level very soon. Because currently, Napoli's financial situation is said to be very good. If they add some more good players to their squad, then maybe we will see Napoli at a good level very soon.

clearly he deserves it because the president has realized that he made a mistake
he is the president not the coach
When he got a tough coach who put him in his place, everything changed... obviously for the better, for the Napoli and for the fans of Napoli

Yes he is the best signing but don't say there is non like him because there are a lot more like him in the different leagues including on the league he went to, his signing weren't about him being the highest on the position but is actually about being the midfielder Napoli has been looking for and they're getting the resistance there midfielder did not get last season. Is not that there will be no club that would beat them but they have just increase the chance of not going to receive defeat by any random club as before, Fiorentina who happens to be the third club for Napoli to face them will be another good match for De Bruyne.

[Adiljutt156]

Napoli football team played very well against Cagliari with a late winner to get the three points against Cagliari side, although they got tortured a bit in the defensive line which made it difficult for Napoli to break through.

It was a one-sided performance IMO because they didn't press on Napoli, instead they stayed back and defended in both half of the match. It was a solo goal at the end of the match to put Napoli ahead of the league table. The final match stats ended with Napoli gathering about 20 shots and 6 of them were on target; the possession percentage was also around 68. It was an incredible display from Napoli and they deserved that win. Lorenzo Lucca still needs an improvement in his play-- he can't be Lukaku's replacement this season.

Cagliari Calcio football team could not play well against Napoli football team as they could not do any goal in this match.  That team shots were less in this match which were only 10 and only 1 shot was on target. The possession percentage of that team was also brilliant which was 32 percent and passes of that team where very low in this match which were only 310 . The performance of that team was very low as comparison to opponent team and we saw that team very low in the whole match but opponent team performance was very excellent in the last match. The shots of Napoli football team were 20 and 6 shots were on target and possession percentage of that team was brilliant in last match.

No player is above injury and De Bruyne is not exceptional. He is getting old and will become vulnerable to injury. Look at what injury did to him in City which made his drop form and he hasn't been in his best form till date. Den Bruyne is a world class player and will add value to Napoli but it wouldn't last for long because he will lose his pace gradually.

Napoli won their matches is a good start for them. I hope that they don't become weak when the season is at its peak because it will be challenging for them to maintain their form since they are featuring in several competitions this season.

Hmm it is true, it is not that they were just lucky to win the Scudetto last year, they really deserved it. At the same time they have rebuilt the team very well this summer to maintain their momentum. Speaking off the pitch their financial sustainability is very good which is very helpful for them to stay at the top of the rankings, so I would say they have been able to achieve really good stabilty to back growth. However anyway you know Serie A & Europe are very competitive so be concern injuries, a rush of fixtures or a bad window could turn everything around at any time. So I would say promote Napoli okay however be realistic without too much hype, lol

As a player, i think KDB can never be a bad signing wherever he goes. McTominay and KDB have definitely shown their class to Napoli. In general, players from the premier league have proven to be the right solution for Napoli. Also, Anguissa came from the premier league and has been a starter in Naples for quite some time. As for Man City, it’s definitely not the same club it used to be, and it will be hard for them to bring back their former glory.There’s been a lot of saturation.

Everyone makes mistakes; to err is human, but to persevere is diabolical.
Leaving aside this ugly quote, I have reason to believe that in 10 years, English football will find itself in the same situation as our Serie A.
Too much money spent, especially on unknown players, will sooner or later end up in deep debt.
This is essentially what happened to our best Italian teams.
How can Inter still be so in debt after collecting almost €90 million from last year's Champions League and €60 million from the Club World Cup? Let's also add the Serie A TV rights and the prize money for the Coppa Italia and Supercoppa Italiana finals?

The thing is that Serie A teams don't get that much money from TV rights. I mean not as much as Premier League teams. That is where some problems start for Italian teams already.

I have seen a data before related to this topic. Even the team in the last place of the Premier League gets more money in total compared to the team at top in the Serie A. That sounds really insane!

As long as this much money is pouring I don't think English teams would be in big debt that easy.

It really feels like a draw match, doesn't it?    However I'd like to give a reminder. Juventus beat them home twice in the Serie A recently. This shouldn't also be overlooked. Juventus weren't incredible in the league those times either.

What about both teams to score? 1.88 odds given. 1.89 for BTTS: No. In both of those matches I mentioned Juventus didn't concede a goal. But I still want to take that risk. Better than placing a bet on Juventus / Inter I guess...

[X-ray]

Inter vs Juve will be the hottest game, and for me, hard to believe the match will end with draw. I think both clubs will play safely, and there will be narrow score to happen. So i pick under. I rarely saw both clubs scored a lot when they fought each other. 

[TelolettOm]

--snipped--

Yes, he certainly made a very good transfer market and finished in the black between purchases and disposals. But the team doesn't seem much better to me. It's too early to say of course, but from the first two matches I didn't see a different Milan from last year.
Plus they lost 2 very good players like reijnders and Theo Hernandez

I read a headline about how Allegri will lead Milan going forward. And judging by their new signings and their recent arrivals, they're currently focusing on refocusing from the midfield. In this transfer market, AC Milan has signed four midfielders, including defensive, central, and attacking midfielders. However, that doesn't mean they've neglected their back and forward positions, as they've also signed several top players for the back and forward positions.

They should improve well with these new midfielders, compared to previous seasons, with Luka Modric, Ardon Jashari, Samuele Ricci, and Adrien Rabiot.

Both your considerations are valid, I am very much inclined to bet on a draw, but it is a dry bet and is very risky. Betting on under might be more feasible and less risky as X-ray says, and betting on both teams scoring might also be a good choice.
I'm keeping all three in mind, there's still time to place the bet anyway


For the time being I create this draft bet

Juventus vs Inter	BTTS yes	@1.88
