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

[SUPERSAIAN]

Lazio won 3-0 against Genoa today. Lazio put an end to their poor run of wins. If they hadn't won today, if they had lost, Lazio would have suffered their fourth defeat. Lazio manager Sarri has worked hard after the losses. It seems unlikely that even a top-six finish will be possible for Lazio this season we're only in week five, but who knows. Lazio played well today, starting with an early goal and managing to keep it going.

I would say that Milan fans have every reason to be satisfied. After years of torment, they are back at the top of the table, albeit level on points with Napoli and Roma.
Allegri's management is already bearing fruit, let's hope they don't find themselves in trouble right from the start! We need some competition at the top of the table.

That's right, Milan return to the top of the table could make a difference after Napoli, Juventus and Roma started the season quite well. Now I'm waiting for Inter to do the same, as their progress this season has fallen far short of expectations. The team has experienced several setbacks since Inzaghi departure. There's still time for Inter to make progress as they transition from Inzaghi familiar style of play to Chivu more modern system.

I think it would be better to consider Inter as contenders for the title too. It's not easy for them to change strategies and tactics after four years with the same coach, so I understand that this slow start is more than normal.
The more teams there are competing for the trophy, the more exciting the championship will be! I can't remember a Serie A season where four or five teams were in contention for the title until the end of the tournament.
Milan, Napoli, Juventus, Roma and Inter all competing for the title? We haven't seen that since the 1990s, perhaps.

I was very impressed with Milan’s performance against Napoli they showed why they are a very good and strong opponent this season, I’m very impressed with the work that Allegri is doing in AC Milan I never did understand that they were going to have this good performances at the start of the season because I wasn’t impressed with their summer transfer window, they brought in some players that aren’t getting older like Luka Modric and I was wondering how the club was going to sustain a player that is due for his retirement 40 years old player and he is still playing very well, I’m quite impressed with how he has performed this season, and i doubt him, I also understand this aged players always thrive in the Italian League, Juventus seems to be playing well also as Tudor is doing a great job there as well, And AS Roma are playing a very good football with Gasperini as their Manager, who is very experienced with his time with Atalanta taking them to regular Champions League, I believe AS Roma will have a chance for the Champions League Position next season.

The fact that Milan had to play nearly 40 minutes with one man down and they still keep the score and won is a huge deal. Normally I would have expected them to lose out after having that kind of return, and not be able to actually get what they want, after all when you are playing against the leader of the league with one man down for 40 minutes that is usually expected to lose, because they will find a way to score.

But they defended amazingly all game and that gave them a chance to be a lot better. It made me remember the days of old Milan where they had the greatest defense in the whole world, it wasn't "that" good of course but it was still a good deal. I hope that they can keep doing what they are doing and get better.

This was the first surprise from AC Milan Football Club in the new season of the Italian league because this season was the first time we had experienced such an intense performance from this team. When AC Milan Football Club turned ten-man at the San Siro, many thought they would not be able to gain points from this match but in the end they remained confident.Even as far as I know, in that big match, their team players were tactical and aggressive, which meant they were not forced to admit defeat against the current champions Napoli. It now appears that three teams will compete jointly in the new season of the Serie A League, still it's incredible that the former Real Madrid midfielder's team, Milan, has managed to advance after their win over Napoli.

Yeah, they definitely played one of the best games of the season for them, it's a miracle how they hang in there and managed to win and they have managed to became the new top team in standings thanks to this as well. Definitely a huge deal for them after having a terrible season and having Allegri and leader position gives them a great morale boost that might help a lot.

And it's definitely not that great for Napoli, it's really not that awesome situation for them and we need to consider how this could be very hurtful for them, it may not be that great and we should be able to say that things are not going to end up with that much of a big profit for them. If Napoli can recover that's fine, but they should avoid making this an issue.

In my opinion it depends on how they play the next matches, given that from the point of view of points they are not in the same position as Inter last season.
and it also depends on what they do in the direct clashes with Milan, Napoli and Roma
everything is quite strange but interesting

Yeah, Kudos to Milan in this game, normally it very difficult to defend against Napoli even with 11 men then imagine doing it with 10 men for almost 40 minutes. I expected Napoli to be victorious in this game especially when they concede a penalty and red card in the  same minutes.

It was a good game, a very entertaining one too. You know when you gave to defend against against a team like Napoli you really need to have luck by your side and that exactly what Milan had by their side. Before this game I didn’t take Milan as a big deal in competing for this season scudetto but after this game I think they might have a huge say about the league this season.

[AprilioMP]

The teams in first place (AC Milan), second, and the team currently in fifth all have a chance to win the Scudetto.
AC Milan has looked different this season since Allegri became Milan's tactician. Milan's style has changed, and up until the match against Napoli, if anyone said Milan were a strong candidate for the Scudetto, I think other teams, including Napoli, also deserved that.

If Serie A continues like this, it will certainly be the most exciting Serie A I've ever seen, as far as I know about this sport.
Perhaps Serie A will also become the English Premier League's strongest competitor in terms of competitiveness.

Milan has shown some improvement in their performance, but the season is still long, and there are many matches to be played. For now, I personally still hope Milan maintains their consistent performance until the end of the season to secure the Scudetto. Milan has advantages because only focus on Serie A and the Coppa Italia. If they can maximize this conditions, they should be able to win the title.

Yes. Almost all Milan fans hope that happens this season, as they only compete in two domestic competitions.
With the return of Midric and Rabiot, who reunited with Allegri, Milan's improved performance is inextricably linked to these two players, even though football is a team sport.

With the season still long and the top five teams still in good form, if all five teams, not just Milan, can maintain their consistency, I'm confident the title race will be exciting until the end.
The challenge will come in the second half of the season. Those who are inconsistent will be out of the title race.

If I'm not mistaken, Inter are only two points behind last year's tally, so technically they are in line with last season's results. The most surprising thing is that the top of the table is more crowded than last year.
Inter have already lost their first head-to-head match against Juventus, and you're right, everything depends on how they react and approach the upcoming head-to-head matches.

Inter Milan have loss 2 of 5 games in Serie A and its not good result if want back to Scudetto race, not only loss from Juventus as the top team but also Inter defeated by mediocre team Udinese at games week 2.
For upcoming match, Inter Milan still have to face many top teams such as Roma, Milan and Napoli have consistent performance if can get three points great opportunity for in the domestic league race. In the early 5 games, Inter Milan have bigger chance back to top place because only 3 points gap with Milan already at the top standings awhile, its not too late for Inter improving their performance after losing 2 games.

Yes, there's still a lot of work to be done by all teams, not just Milan. Whoever can maintain their consistency will be worthy of being champions, because even with top players, you can't win without consistency. and the second half of the season is always become a crucial for all teams. We remember Conte success with Napoli in the second half of last season, when the team was struggling to maintain stamina due to the heavy schedule and hard matches in all competitions.

Lazio won 3-0 against Genoa today. Lazio put an end to their poor run of wins. If they hadn't won today, if they had lost, Lazio would have suffered their fourth defeat. Lazio manager Sarri has worked hard after the losses. It seems unlikely that even a top-six finish will be possible for Lazio this season we're only in week five, but who knows. Lazio played well today, starting with an early goal and managing to keep it going.

Finally, a decent result from away game by Lazio. The result against Genoa is not something needs to pride off. However, it will at very least help to build players mentality.
On other hand their massive won against Genoa didn't represent how good their performance. They're still terrible, awful to watch, and play zero motivation. Sarri obviously has not yet woken up his club.

We remember Conte success with Napoli in the second half of last season, when the team was struggling to maintain stamina due to the heavy schedule and hard matches in all competitions.

But in the end, Conte managed to lead Napoli to a dramatic Scudetto victory, considering the gap with Inter Milan at the time was only one point. I still vividly remember the rivalry between Napoli's final match against Cagliari and Inter Milan's away match against Como.

If the current top five teams are anything to go by, I think almost everyone will agree that the 2025-2026 Serie A season will be even more exciting than last season in terms of competitiveness. As I mentioned in a previous post, Serie A will make a comeback.
Despite all of this, I want Napoli to retain their title this season, despite their busy schedule.

ah interesting, so let's say it's maintaining more or less the performance of last year
so you're telling me that other teams are outperforming, interesting

Now we have four teams within 2 points, we can say that the championship has reopened in a big way, I can only be happy about this

[SuperBitMan]

Yes in order to win the league title the team has to be very consistent in winning matches if you are not consistent as a team then it is impossible to lift the league title, the reason why some teams find it difficult to lift the league title is because of lack of inconsistency they may be consistent in the beginning but at the end they become inconsistent they start losing matches and from there they will lose the opportunity of winning the league title, when a team is consistent from the beginning till the end they stand the chance to win the league title, so you are very correct any team that is consistent to the end of the league will become champions, right now I can't even point anything that we win the league title because every team are doing their best in order to win it so the league title race will be very competitive and interesting and no one can predict who will win the league title maybe towards the end of the season we may know the right direction it is going.

Kudos to Milan in this game, normally it very difficult to defend against Napoli even with 11 men then imagine doing it with 10 men for almost 40 minutes. I expected Napoli to be victorious in this game especially when they concede a penalty and red card in the  same minutes.

It was a good game, a very entertaining one too. You know when you gave to defend against against a team like Napoli you really need to have luck by your side and that exactly what Milan had by their side. Before this game I didn’t take Milan as a big deal in competing for this season scudetto but after this game I think they might have a huge say about the league this season.

That was the most difficult part that took my interest. Which is why I was shocked about the game, because it is hard to beat Napoli even when the game is 11vs11, and seeing them manage to win even with one man down was a huge success and nothing short of amazing. We should be considering this a great success and can't really focus on this enough, it's really a great deal without much trouble.

Obviously things will take time for Milan to adjust to this leadership, they are not used to it, been a long while since they were there. This type of situation causes them to have more anxiety I am sure, because being at the top when you do not expect it, is an anxious thing and causes teams to have more stress when they are playing.

[LUCKMCFLY]

Is it Modric that gives you the most confidence in Milan? I think if that's the case, I'm on your side, as I believe the presence of Modric and Rabiot in Allegri's squad this season makes AC Milan even stronger.

Yes, it is for the main reason that things at Milan have improved a lot, for me it is because of him, he is an icon and brings all his experience, I have always been a fan of this team, of course I remember the Kaka era, but now with Modric one becomes more fond of the team, and I think this team can be in the top 4 places to qualify directly for a UCL, now they have the material.

AC Milan has always been lucky in the transfer window to sign a one man game changer. Same effect Zlatan Ibrahimovic had on the team that led to their success in the league is what Modric is offering right now even at his age. He played a crucial role against Napoli and they secured a 2-1 victory against the title most favourite for the season. Modric is a very experienced player and has won my heart since his Real Madrid days. And yeah, he would be taking them to the top 4 spot by the end of the season.

Our Italian teams have earned a good haul of points in the Champions League, with three wins and one draw so far.
Atalanta vs Club Brugge 2-1
Inter vs Slavia Prague 3-0
Napoli vs Sporting 2-1
Villareal vs Juventus 2-2

These results will have a positive impact on the FIFA rankings and on a possible fifth slot for the next Champions League.
Now we have to wait for the results of the Europa League and Conference League.
