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

[Sandra_hakeem]

Serie A has been very impactful during the past seasons and their dynamic coaches who have shown their reputation in the European competitions. A coach like Allegri is a good coach who has achieved great success in Serie A in the past seasons with different teams.

Sometimes a coach who was once great can be sacked with not much consideration, it happens that every coach signed by a team carries a responsibility of aiming for either the league trophy or playing their best at the European competitions. We have so many games waiting in line to be played from second week, and that means constant strain for the players -- so, it's totally going to be a survival of the fittest!

These are the matches for the next round of Serie A, starting immediately with a big match
Juventus vs Inter. I'm betting on a draw, and you?

there could definitely be a draw
Honestly, I think Inter has the advantage. Let's say I'm seeing improvements from Juventus but they don't justify the victory against the consolidated Inter at all.
clearly in my opinion, impartial since I support Atalanta

A Juventus-Inter draw is risky, but with good odds, it's worth a try for those willing to take a chance.
There could be a lot of goals, I think in a 2-2 draw (actually, I hope so to see some good play) and I'd risk a bet; maybe my madness will pay off.
I don't want to consider previous matches because Inter didn't give their best.

A draw is obviously always a risk, but big matches, and especially the Italian derby, are always very tense and defensive because neither team wants to lose and be mocked by everyone.
Juventus got off to a great start in the league, while Inter started like a rocket but then immediately had engine trouble
I think that even if it's a risky bet, a draw or Btts yes remain the most likely outcomes.

Juventus vs Inter	BTTS yes	@1.86	Bitz

For now, I've put BTTS yes, but I'm more inclined to bet on a draw.

[Sandra_hakeem]

However, if Juventus manages to score first, it will be a more difficult match for Inter to scored a goal. Even if it's not the decisive goal, the home side's first goal could have an impact on their opponents, let see, will Inter be able to score a goal when they concede the first goal, or will Juventus fail to score?

Scoring an equalizer goal is the hardest part of the game for any team at all... It takes a very different level of re-organization to do so, especially since they're playing against a team like Inter Milan. If they can secure early goals, all they need to do is substitute more defenders instead and trust me, the game stays that way.

I don't want to get any team over-hyped, but people are already giving their views to this match as being "unpredictable".. Inter Milan made their way to the UCL finals, which proves a better stance of resilience, but again this is football; whoever makes the most attempts would probably get closer to a win.

We'll see what happens, meanwhile Atalanta is 2 points behind, just to understand how I should feel after they sold everything... even the guy who carries the bucket with the water bottles
okay, amen
You can do it to grow but there comes a point where you have to stop if you want to do big things

I understand your concern, but it's still too early to pass negative judgement on Atalanta. After all, they've kept all their best players except Retegui, but the backbone of the team remains unchanged.
Atalanta's only problem is their new manager, who is light years away from Gasperini.

there's building, eh, be careful
but there comes a point where you have to be big, an adult
It's like someone who accumulates a whole life without ever enjoying what he has, then in the end he dies and it's all over (I'm referring to Verga's short story "La robba")
It doesn't make sense, there comes a point where they have to make a paradigm shift

--snipped--

In my opinion, we won't see last year's Inter anymore. Most likely, Inter will gradually switch from a 3-5-2 to a 4-3-2-1 starting formation.
The players in the squad allow for this change in formation, but we don't know if it will be effective as a strategy.
We'll see how it turns out. I think Inter could win this big match.

We're still waiting for the next release regarding how Chivu will develop the most suitable tactic for Inter. In his three Serie A matches so far, Chivu has used a 3-5-2 formation, and this is quite effective if his condition is like the one he had against Torino, allowing him to be truly aggressive.

Placing Thuram and Martinez up front should be strong enough. However, there may be some changes in midfield and defense. Well, we can trust Chivu to make Inter even more solid and strong. His strength is very strong, especially with increasingly strong opponents like Napoli and Juventus, who are far more consistent.

But, as the ex-Inter Milan coach said, he trusts Chivu, but we need to be very patient.

It doesn't look good, that is, being patient means you have to wait for it to get going and consequently it means it will suck.
Regardless of everything, this season seems worse than the previous one, basically, nothing good
It will be that I'm negative today

[masulum]

But, as the ex-Inter Milan coach said, he trusts Chivu, but we need to be very patient.

It's normal that many people are pessimistic about Chivu. As a non-Inter fan, I feel this is not a good decision by management. Even though he said to be patient for this season, but I'm not sure Inter fans can wait for it. Fans were already disappointed after failing to win the Serie A title in the final week of last season, and if Chivu only bringing inter to the poor performances this season, there's no reason for fans to say they need to be patient. maybe too early to pessimistic? I don't know, but if Chivu failed, no more patience i think.

because it's a low-cost replacement
Inter had targeted Fabregas, but Como locked him down
So Inter's intention was clear, as was their intention not to spend money this season.
I'm not saying it, the budget says it and the numbers never lie..

Haha. but they spent €90 million on players. That's not a small amount, right? If I'm not mistaken, this transfer window is deficit about €40 million just for players. Perhaps that could be used to bring in another coach, besides Fabregas if they want. I suspected Fabregas wouldn't coach another Italian team besides Como, after all, he's also an investor in Como. I can't imagine an investor beating up his own team.

In my opinion, you're being rather negative today, my friend.
Atalanta has kept the core of the team intact and is practically the same as last year, but I repeat, if there's one thing the management got wrong, it was the choice of the new manager. I think he's the worst around, but it's still too early to say for sure! Maybe he'll do better than Gasperini.

Come on, cheer up, mate! You should be happy with what Atalanta has achieved in recent years!
You brought home a cup that Italy hadn't seen for more than 20 years.
Not even Juventus or Conte's Inter managed to do that.
I'd look at the glass as half full.
Of course, you can't always agree with the management's decisions, but sometimes certain moves have to be made.

Trusting a new coach is always a difficult, especially when the coach is not someone with reputation. If Chivu want wants the inter Milan fans to trust him then he needs to build the trust by winning matches.

This is exact scenario with Chelsea last season when they bought in Enzo maresca,, a lot of fans were against him but when he begin to win matches, the fans begin to trust him but by bit. I would say to you now that almost every chelsea fan if not all chelsea fan have a big trust in maresca project.

Chivu need to win matches by these we will trust him and he will be on less pressure but losing a match to udinese at home in the early stage of the season is very unacceptable. It not just the loss but the performance by the boys is nothing compared to last season.

[satscraper]

For now, I've put BTTS yes, but I'm more inclined to bet on a draw.

For me BTTS  feels like the solid bet and seems more likely to succeed than betting on draw. Both teams are eager to win because they are fully aware of how important this upcoming clash is. I’ve always been on the fence about choosing between Inter and Juventus, but now I’m leaning towards following your suggestion with BTTS, possibly combined with over 2.5 goals. I still have a couple of days to finalize my bet, so I’ll think it through a bit more.

The day of truth will be when he challenges Juventus and there will be the real test to make sure everyone trusts him, if he wins the match then all the fans will hang on his every word, but it is not a given that Inter will be able to win against Juventus, so it is not easy, everything depends on that match

[boltz]

Chivu needs a bit of time to actually show what he is truly capable of because the board knows well who he is and what great achievements he had with Inter jr teams so it's pretty normal for them to actually trust Chivu and the process that follows this.

Yea , maybe Inter won't win the title but I doubt any other coach would have change this because it's hard for any coach to come and achieve greater things than Inzaghi did so this is another reason why Inter needs to trust Chivu at least 1 year and if he won't deliver , then they can part ways.

I do not get the whole cheap thing. Like why are they not spending any money? Are they that much broke? They almost won the league, and they were at the finals of UCL, so they should be able to have some money. There are so many amazing managers that are free agents right now, people like Xavi, Spaletti, Motta, Terzic.

These are all great managers they could have gone with and how much could that even cost? Five million? Ten million? That should be nothing for them and they should be able to afford that much. I understand it is not easy for teams to splash around money when they are financially in danger, but this is not the number, this isn't splashing, this is a conservative number that wouldn't really hurt them at all.

You're right, although I'm very skeptical about their new coach but I'll give him time to see whether he'll improve the team better than what Gasperini did, I feel the board of Atalanta made a very risky gamble in that area hopefully it doesn't backfire them. Luckily for him he still have a good squad left behind by Gasperini to utilize.

That's right, guys, it's still too early to draw conclusions. It's true that Ivan Juric isn't the best coach around, but the team is strong enough. If he can lead it well, it could bring a lot of satisfaction, especially to the management who took a chance on him.
Let's give it time. In the end, we'll see how things turn out.
