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

[masulum]

We have already had a small surprise, with Milan already eliminated from the competition. Now only the league remains for them.

It was very disappointing. Milan had previously won their match against Lazio 1-0. This match like a revenge match for Lazio, but this match was even more impressive for Lazio, as they successfully eliminated AC Milan from Coppa Italia. There were no other competitions scheduled for AC Milan. If Milan couldn't win Serie-A title, it really didn't make sense to me.

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.

I agree that Napoli will win, because they are the better team, but one of the reasons why Napoli is not getting the high favourite routes, is because Juventus changed their manager and been doing fine recently.

This is a reason why they would not be all that easy to forget, it will be very good for them and will do fine. Juventus being on a roll with Spaletti is the reason why Napoli will have a hard time on this game, plus they are still missing some players, all these combined makes it difficult for them to win.

Milan did not play well in this Italian Cup match, and I am also convinced that it would not have been a competition for them to see through to the end, as they want to win the league title.
Playing only in the league will give Massimiliano Allegri's men a significant advantage! He will have more time to prepare for each match with peace of mind.

But I wouldn't make hasty statements, the fact that he changed coach means little, the last match was against Udinese and I didn't see these great performances, he suffered to score and against a team like Udinese (I don't want to discredit fans) but it's not a podium team.
If there are any improvements we will see it against Napoli who have a more solid team and therefore a tougher opponent to face, it will be the test of these changes.

Unfortunately, Juventus will struggle to recover. But not because of the new coach, but because of Tudor! The team had been set up according to his playing style, and the new players arrived based on Tudor's tactics.
Now Spalletti finds himself with a team that is strong but lacks a real identity! But I am also convinced that Juventus will return to greatness.

Maybe if instead of taking new coaches they take the players, something can be done
with all the coaches they have they could let those guys play, if they were capable of playing football with their age and ailments

ah luckily Juventus is there to make me laugh out loud

[emrecemsan]

Juventus just simply doesn't have a good squad. That's the main reason why they are still not impressive imho. They struggle too much to score goals. 17 goals until this point is far from being nice...

They are lucky to have a wonderkid like Kenan Yıldız. But they are likely to lose him to a bigger team next summer. Real Madrid, Arsenal and some other PL teams have already got him on their radar.

It's hard to expect Spalletti to work wonders with this team yet. They need some reinforcements ASAP.

This situation presents both an advantage and a pressure point for AC Milan. Their elimination from the Coppa Italia means AC Milan doesn't have to focus on other competitions, which is a huge advantage for them. AC Milan can play at their best in every league match, and Massimiliano Allegri doesn't need to rotate many players. Their loss to Lazio was quite surprising because it was beyond my expectations. But this presents a new opportunity for AC Milan. They should have the best chance of winning Serie A this season.

-snip-

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

I agree with you. Their chances of winning the title are quite slim. AC Milan has no other competition this season, so given AS Roma's form, I think securing a place in the Champions League is a more achievable goal. They can improve and improve the squad. Honestly, at this point, I still don't see AS Roma's potential to be a title contender in Serie A.

Lol, you're so mean to Juventus!
They made bad choices last year, first signing Thiago Motta, who was playing for a big club for the first time, and then not choosing a coach during the summer transfer window.
Obviously, now they're paying dearly for those bad choices.

It’s a disappointment for AC Milan because being knocked out of the Coppa Italia is not a good record for them. The most painful part is that they were knocked out by Lazio, who are not in very good form this season. Their last match in November against Lazio was a bit tough for both teams, and Rafael Leao, who scored the winning goal in the last match, was not able to score yesterday. For sure, Lazio got their revenge in the best possible way. They are left only in the Serie A, and they are still topping the table. They should win.

Normally, yes Milan players now have more time to rest and training to focus for Serie-A only, but their inconsistencies need to be solved. Allegri only playing for Serie-A so there is no reason to playing bad anymore,   but i dont think this can be done in a short time. Allegri must be find soultion on transfer window, he need better attacker, as we can see how Inter have better goal scored with total 28 goals. of course the winning not depend how many the goals has been created, but the winning points more important. But if Milan only able to win with only 1 goal a head their opponents. The best winning only vs Lecce with 3-0.
Milan will face Napoli for Supercoppa Italiana, just one minor competitions left. if lose, we can say Not Milan target  too

They are left only in the Serie A, and they are still topping the table. They should win.

I hope so,  but a lot of weakness from Milan side hopefully Allegri give something better for Milan to keep Capolista till end of season.

Yesterday's narrow defeat to Lazio means AC Milan is only playing in Serie A. It's understandable that the public expects more from AC Milan in Serie A, so there's no excuse for fatigue due to the packed 2025/2026 schedule.
You're right that Milan has had more rest to focus on the quality of their play to win matches, so their inconsistency must be addressed.

AC Milan and Napoli are level on points. However, Milan's +/- GD is better than Napoli's.
What can be said if Milan is also unable to widen the points gap with Napoli and emerge as champions this season?
The Super Cup is just two games away, that is, if Milan can beat Napoli on December 19th.

Allegri's style of play has never been spectacular, but he has achieved great success with it. The vast majority of Allegri's victories have always been 1-0, which is why in Italy they call him 'cortomuso' (short nose).
He did it with Juventus and he's doing it now with Milan! Even if they bought him the best striker in the world, he wouldn't change his style of play.

and yes, exactly what I was saying
Allegri's style can be seen from a mile away
Even if you don't know who coaches Milan, just watch them play to understand who coaches them.
I don't criticize him in all this, he's a good professional who works and is above all serious.

not like Antonio Conte

To be fair, anyone can lose any game if it is just about one game and this was one of those. I can see how things could change for them because Milan didn't want to lose this game but they just did and it's a shame but that's what happens in football. Sometimes even if you are better, you just end up losing and you have to learn to live with that. This is exactly what happened and while Milan only has the league left, that is not a bad thing for them.

This means they can focus on the league games a lot more and they can win a lot more games. If this results with them getting the title or results even if they just finish top three, that would be a huge improvement over last season and that would be a reason to be happy about.

Milan has no competition? Are you sure? You forgot that Inter and Napoli are the main contenders for the title. Milan is in good form, but Inter is getting back into form, and Napoli is still good even though they’re missing important players. We’ll see, it will be a battle, but i don’t agree that Milan has no competition.

Although AC Milan did not field their best team in the Coppa Italia match against Lazio, AC Milan played Leao and Salamancer. Their goalkeeper and defenders are regular starters for AC Milan. So even though they did not field their best squad, AC Milan actually still tried hard to win and advance further in the Coppa Italia.

[Pulsar77]

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

As I said below, "at the beginning".

They had defensive problems at the beginning but things are better lately.

Their defending in the Serie A improved quite much after some weeks passed. They don't concede multiple goals in one match or even concede no goals. This is good news for the fans.

If they go on like this and stay productive they might be able to pull away from the other title contenders at some point. It isn't impossible. It just depends on consistency.

We’ll see, it will be a battle, but i don’t agree that Milan has no competition.

We should not forget that the Serie A points table is very unstable now and there is a good competition between the top 4 teams. AC Milan and Napoli are in first and second place with 28 points. Inter Milan and Roma are in third and fourth place with 27 points. That is, I think all these 4 teams are competing well for the title and trying to perform consistently. It is always wrong to say that AC Milan has no rivals. Just because AC Milan is in good form recently, we should not ignore Inter Milan, Napoli and Como. They are also performing well and have a good chance of winning the Scudetto.

Very unstable indeed, at this point you can't really tell who would likely be the winner of the scudetto cause the competition is becoming very serious and if you take a look at the table you'll see that just few points separates the the team in 4th place from the one in the 1st place infact Ac Milan and Napoli that are 1st and 2nd place respectively are even sharing same points but differentiated by goals while Inter and Roma that are in 3rd and 4th positions are sharing similar fate too with 27 points.
 Yes Ac Milan has serious rivals cause their position is not safe yet, even Como that's at 5th position is still a strong rival cause it's just 4 points gap away from them and if they low or draw and Como win it would close the gap between them and Como so they really have strong contenders about 3 to 4 teams under them are seriously fighting for the top.
