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

[Emitdama]

Why would Inter have little chance for the title man? Let's have a look at the odds:

• Inter: 2.25
• Milan: 4.00
• Napoli: 4.00
• Roma: 10.00

Bookies even show Inter as the biggest favourites for it.    They are a much more productive team than all other contenders. I see them as the closest one to the championship honestly.

You know things are complicated when third place team is seen as the favourites and the leading team is seen as second place instead. Inter is not that far away of course, very close to Milan and just one point difference. That alone is a huge deal, the top four is all within one point difference. Top two has 28 28 with Milan and Napoli, and third and fourth places Roma and Inter have 27 points each.

Every single week those places could change and sometimes it does but they always stay close to each other. I do not remember any single season where four teams were this close at the top after this many weeks, it has been 13 weeks and they are still very close to each other and a very big deal to me that it's getting this competitive.

It’s a really tough and fierce battle at the top of the league. AC Milan might be at the top now but it seems it’s only temporary and like you said the positions will be changing constantly. So every team needs to be at their best.

AC Milan Can take advantage of the fact that they’re not playing any European Competition this season and stabilise and focus all their energy at the league, I believe that’s what helped Napoli last season.

Gian Pero Gasperini has really improved Roma this season and his former club was left in Shambles, just Raffaele Palladino picking up and amending the pieces.

These teams are certainly the ones destined to finish in the Champions League zone.
the others are distant and not suitable for this role

I'm happy for Roma, having taken on a coach I respect a lot, I'm happy if they go to the Champions League next season
Atalanta deserves not to play any cup

[Pulsar77]

Productive you say? It's just a prediction and it doesn't mean it will come to fruition.

After Inter's poor performance at the FCWC, I didn't expect much under Chivu, but so far I think they've been impressive and have gotten some good results. But even at that, I'm still skeptical of them winning the scudetto because of the manager's inexperience. My prediction is that either Napoli or AC Milan will win the league title.

Inter are the most scoring team in the Serie A with 28 goals right now. The closest to them is Bologna with 22 goals. Milan and Napoli are barely around 20 goals. Roma even have 15 goals as I said already.

So yeah Inter are clearly the most productive one among them.    They had defensive problems at the beginning but things are better lately.

Their biggest weakness is to play big matches not good enough. I think this is mostly due to Chivu's inexperience.

I, on the other hand, believe that Atalanta will definitely qualify for a European competition at the end of the season, perhaps the Europa League, and it would be a great achievement if they achieved this goal, because the season started badly for them, but now it seems that they are on the road to recovery. So, mate, you need to be more positive about your favourite team.

[masulum]

Following how Roma are going this season i think they still don’t look like a team that will win the scudetto but getting a champions league space for next season should be worth fighting for, they have been very impressive so far this season and if they can finish the first half of the season in this fashion then they should be good.

They also need to do brilliantly in this coming window, they need to a quality to their side, offensively especially. The defense have been good This season, they don’t concede much so if they can bring in a quality player up front then it will be a good addition.

As for me I really want them to get a champions league space for next season but with how competitive the league is this season then they will have to fight very hard for it.

All of top 4 team currently have equal chance to get the title, every team will be playing extra hard to keep their positions on top table. Milan, Napoli, Roma, Inter all of them have a dark side with their inconsistency. So, the opportunity remain open for All. We have to see how effective their transfer activity in the winter, who can bring good players to make their formations more solid attack and defense, this one will become the champions.

But I doubt even him to be consistent for a season long. The reason why they are in a close range from the top is that there is no club looking sharp in the first place. But maybe at some point a club can start getting ahead of the rest by far.

I think he can build Roma for longer time, as Atalanta did before. Of course we unable to compare between atalanta and Roma, but if he can find good player that match with his formations, so I believe we can see Roma showing their improvement.

Did Inter Milan have a lot of defensive problem? Maybe in the Serie A because they conceded just three goals in their all five matches they have played so far in the Champions League, maybe the manager has placed more priority in the Champions league than the domestic league because I can see they have conceded the highest number of goals among the top eight teams in the Serie A table, but they are still just one point behind Napoli and AC Milan which means despite their defensive inability to stop goals from coming into their net, they are also very good attacking wise because they have scored the highest number of goals (28) in the whole competition so far.
I still have the believe that Inter Milan will fight for the title this season because they lost it to Napoli last season and still lost the Champions League final to PSG.

I really don't think they can do it, not in a bad way
they simply don't have the team or the coach
If only one of the two is missing, something can be done; if both are missing, as cornerstones, at most we can aspire to the famous "coppa del nonno" ice cream.

that's right

I don't think the number of goals they've conceded that's kept them in the position they're but the points they dropped yes they'll still need to strengthen their defense so they'll jeep cleansheets and avoiding dropping points but if the manager doesn't pay more attention to the domestic league like he does to the UCL then it would get to a point where there chanced of winning the scudetto would be slim.
 
 Although Napoli has shown good signs of winning it consecutively but Inter Milan are still one of the contenders of the scudetto this season, if only they can take the matches against big teams seriously maybe it could also help if they're not willing to put much money into the upcoming window to strengthen their team more, especially the defense, more drills to these currents ones could help too.

Are we not saying the same thing?
Lack of good defense do lead to conceding goals and once you concede Gil’s if your attackers are not good enough to score as much goals as possible to help your team win matches, the team will definitely drop points.

Inter Milan is a good team and they have good squad both in the midfield and the attack that is why despite conceding a lot of goals, they still remain in the this same position they are; they only need to strengthen their defense.

I don’t expect Napoli to win the title again this season, they are very lucky last season that Inter Milan divided their attention to winning treble which failed and resulted to them Kisu g both, I don’t think they will do that same mistake this time. Moreover, AC Milan is also another team to take into consideration this season, they have a solid a squad that has already taken the lead in the title race, I think they have points to prove this time.

[Distraction]

There is a Napoli - Juventus match in 3 days. I'm wondering your thoughts on one of the relatively big matches of the season.  

Let me share the main odds:

• Napoli : 2.36
• Draw : 2.96
• Juventus : 3.40

I must admit that Napoli are given higher odds than I've imagined. They won against Juventus home in their last 6 matches there. I think they will do it again despite facing injuries lately. Doesn't 2.36 look attracting?

If the match was in Turin then no way I would bet on Napoli. Things change a lot in that situation between them.

You never can really tell about that, just look at Napoli and their performance in the league compared to other competitions they are in. See what happened to them today in the Copa Italia. If that was in the league, they would have won that match before full-time but see how they struggled and it extended to extra time. They finally won 9 - 8 after penalties to advance. That's a lucky win for me because penalty is anyone's game.

So, mate, you need to be more positive about your favourite team.

To be able to compete in Europe, the league path must be at least in the top 6 of the final Italian league standings. It is quite a tough mission as Atalanta is currently in 12th place in the temporary standings of the Italian league. Although the league journey is still long and there are still 25 matches left, I still think it is difficult. Unless Atalanta can consistently avoid losing points against weak teams in the remaining matches, and must sweep all victories against weak teams, then it is very possible that Atalanta will still get a ticket to European competition next season.

Yes, exactly, it has very high odds, so the bookmakers are basically saying that Napoli is in crisis, because it's not that difficult to beat a team of losers like Juventus.
perhaps it is also due to Luciano Spalletti, who knows the dynamics of Napoli well and therefore perhaps knows how to defuse certain schemes
that might count too

Usually, when two very strong teams face each other, bookmakers offer higher odds for both teams because they want to lure you into making a mistake.
Juventus is the favourite because they are playing away from home and also because they are not yet fully recovered.
I would bet just €2 on Napoli to win; they cannot afford to lose ground if they want to win the league title.

And what really made us shake our heads about Napoli was their performance in today's Coppa Italia match against Cagliari. Napoli did score first, but they conceded in the second half, resulting in a draw.

And the most surprising part was their penalty shootout. Just imagine, the final score of the penalty shootout was 9-8. Napoli did win, but with 9 shots, it was truly like a big match, even though their opponent was only Cagliari.

sure sure
But let's say we're comparing Juventus now, in the middle of the table, below Como (in points) against Napoli, who in any case are in the top spots.
the problem they have weighed is that both are not doing very well so the odds are high because they don't know what to do

[el kaka22]

Roma even having a less than 10.00 chance to win the title is something that would have been unthinkable at the same time last season. This team has improved so much, first with Ranieri last season and then Gasperini took it even one step forward and they look amazing. I think that we are seeing a lot of changes and because of this we are going to see them have much better future too. Can they win the league this season?

Well, if they go on a few game winning streak they will certainly be at the top, and then rest is all up in the air, it's anyone's game. I am sure that it is not going to be easy to accept but that is the case here, Roma has a chance and while it might be low, it is not impossible levels, it is quite doable.

It's a tough story for them to win the league this season. It's true that they are playing much better and have improved their form, but i still think they don't have the capacity to win the title. They should focus on securing a spot that leads to the UCL and start building a more serious team next season. Of course, with Gasperini anything is possible, but in my opinion, it's unlikely they can win the title this season
