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

[johnsaributua]

Pioli has been terrible in every single team he has been on and for some reason people still hire him, no idea why. We have always seen him make a team worse and Fiorentina wasn't some great team before him neither, but at least they were mid table team and when he arrived they became a lot worse and for that reason I think it's clear that we have seen them fall this much.

I also think that we are going to see them stay, but it is not going to be easy, and next year won't be any nicer neither unless they change something drastic.

I admit that Stefano Pioli has considerable experience and is well respected in top-level soccer competitions. In the last 4-5 years, in my opinion, he still has promising potential, and in the near future, I think he still has the opportunity to show his potential. Just like when he coached AC Milan in his time. Perhaps Stefano Pioli is not yet accustomed to communication or understanding the character of the league in Saudi Arabia, and his heart remains in Italy. I hope Stefano Pioli can contribute again with his knowledge and experience at any league club he coaches. Because a team and a coach are a united whole that understand each other, improve together, and seek solutions, including strategic introspection even while a match is ongoing. A solid team will shine.

Roma are playing against Udinese away tomorrow. It shouldn't be a big deal for them actually. Udinese are far worse and having serious trouble with defending.

On the other hand Roma's problem is with their scoring. 27 goals is just too low in 22 matches. They are still somehow in top 4. Mostly with wins by close margins. I still doubt their CL chance at the end of the season.

Udinese game seems an easy game to be capitalized by Roma. From last five games they played Udinese, they never lose home or away game. So i think it's very certain if they will bag three points from Udinese since there's no big change from both of club during the winter window. So we can still expect them to beat Udinese with at least two goals same as the first leg.

Three points from Udinese is a must caused by they will have tougher fixtures to come. Unable to finish above Juve or Napoli until the end of this month will put their UCL chance looks impossible to achieve.

Beside that i know their productivity is making you feel pessimistic to them in securing UCL spot. However, even if they win the game with narrow score, as long as it's win, that's enough. The most important thing is how to win, not how many goals produced.

I know goals lead team to win, but good defend can help them to achieve their target.

I never liked him as a coach, more than a coach I consider him a destructive atomic bomb
not at Rudi Garcia's level, but we're there
It's no coincidence that his teams don't work, maybe he was lucky with the team that made him famous, but now I would say that his schemes don't work..

I was surprised when I saw you guys were still talking about the game that happened between Napoli and Juventus that day. Napoli were not able to play anything; they even ended up as a disgrace to themselves. After that, they still lost against Chelsea in the Champions League and then won their game against Fiorentina. To them, it’s really an improvement in their current strategy of the game, as they score two goals before falling back to maintain the performance and end up winning. Even though that didn’t work against Chelsea, it seems like it worked against Fiorentina.

The current shape of Napoli has been very unstable leaving many football observers puzzled. Perhaps they succeeded in the strategy of protecting and pursuing two goals in full backward and then as a tactic against an opponent such as Fiorentina, but their European divisions have been weak in this aspect. We may draw a conclusion that this victory is not a complete guarantee of mental stability of a real champion. Their game plan should also be examined properly so that it is not easily deciphered by their EU counterparts. In this development, we have to be real.

I'm really surprised at their recent performance cause I expect that they'll be much better this season, but since the likes of Lukaku and Debruyne got injured they've lost form, as it stance it's obvious that they're out of the title race and should focus on qualifying for the Champions League cause i doubt if Inter Milan would bottle the league.

 Napoli need to take the next summer windows seriously, cause they can't be relying on Debruyne and when he's not available they'll lose form. Also, i don't trust Hodjlund, Napoli should look for a replacement for him too, he's still lacking the experience to lead as a top striker for Napoli.

I think that's an overstatement for Pioli. Looking back at his time as Milan coach, he led the club to the Serie A title with a modest squad.

Now, Pioli is at Fiorentina, and the team's underperformance isn't solely Pioli's fault. Fiorentina's problems are complex, and any coach would struggle to improve their performance this season. Honestly, I think Pioli is actually a good coach if only the team he coaches had a capable squad and the management was willing to fulfill his wishes. The team he coaches would perform better and achieve more.

Last days at Milan, he got fired from there because of how bad he was. Then he went and managed Al Nassr, and got fired from there, and at Fiorentina, he got fired.

I mean don't get me wrong he did had a good period once upon a time but he is no longer that person and has been fired from last three jobs he had. This is why I would assume that he is no longer a good coach and you do not hire someone who got fired from his last three jobs. Wherever he ends up next, I have a sense that he will be terrible again.

Inter dominated the match, playing a one-sided game, and easily won with two goals. Zielinski's second goal was a real rocket shot although it went a little over the goalkeeper, he couldn't do anything about it. Inter continues to lead the league and widen the point difference. There's no team in better form than Inter this season, so they seem likely to win the championship again, as they have in many seasons.

Inter Milan football team played very excellent in the last match because that team did 2 goals in this match And two players did back to back goals in this match And opponent team could not do any goal in this match. Martínez was a person who did first goal of the match and he did this goal at 16 minutes of the match and after that we saw Saw goal at 31 minutes . The shots of Inter Milan football team were more in number and these were 15 in this match and 4 shots were on target and possession percentage of that team was great in this match and we saw that kind of possession in very less matches. The passes of that team were also more in this match and pass accuracy was great in this match.

At the moment they are playing very well, it is no coincidence that they are actually running away leaving behind everyone, Milan, Napoli and company

It seems right to me that a stable team like Inter is rewarded in some way, precisely for being stable and consistent with the game it plays.

[tygeade]

Juventus getting the win they needed, to make sure they have four wins in the last five games, is a great way of moving forward for them. This wasn't a simple win, they dominated and showed once again that they are doing a wonderful job and because of that I honestly believe that we are seeing things be a lot better. I think it's clear that we are going to see things be a lot better for them on the upcoming games because they are providing proof that it is going to be great for them for sure.

It's however hard to sustain wins, because many teams end up having unexpected losses or draws, and Juventus needs to be careful because they have two teams around them (Napoli and Roma) who are trying their hardest to make sure they win too.

[CLS63]

Juventus really won in an impressive way. It is really hard to predict them this season. They can lose really simple matches but sometimes surprise us with big wins. Like this 4-1 win against Parma away.

Their star Kenan Yıldız wasn't on his best day but still they scored 4 goals. This is important for them. Relying on a specific player is the worst thing that can be for a team. However for now I still doubt their chance for a Champions League spot because of Roma and Como.

What a terrible defeat for Roma against Udinese today!
I honestly never would have expected it.
Udinese won 1-0 thanks to a goal from Ekkelenkamp (this is the first time I've heard of this player ).
Roma, on the other hand, suffered their eighth defeat of the season and can now say goodbye to their dreams of winning the Scudetto! Inter are now 12 points ahead.
I wonder if they will manage to secure a place in the next Champions League! I think it will be tough for them too.

The truth is that Roma suffered one of their worst defeats of the season loosing to Udinese. No one would have expected a worst result than a draw. However I still don't think that this is an official end to their title race. Anything is possible in football. Should Inter Milan loose their next 4 games and Roma wins their next 4 games, they would already have hope. But then, they're all speculations because inter Milan don't look ready to loose 4 games for the rest of the league. Napoli is not impressive this season and since their disaster against Juventus, I have been finding it difficult to trust Napoli again. From the look of things, Inter Milan don't seem ready to hold the champions League so they will do all they can to close up this wide gap between them on the table.

With the way things are going for Roma, I don't think a place in the champions league slot will be possible, I mean they have been totally dreadful and they continue to show it. As if the Europa league to panathaikos isn't enough after suffering a red card now they still get to lose to udinese away.

For now Roma just needs to find their winning boots if not the following games can result to this same poor result which will further push them away from anywhere close to the top four in the serie A table.

I completely agree with you!
Roma are terrible at the moment. Gasperini needs to find a solution as soon as possible because if they continue like this, they could even lose their place in next season's Europa League!
Finishing fourth in the league this season is becoming very difficult for them. Juventus are becoming quite competitive again and will certainly not give up on this goal.

Exactly, I also think that given Roma's situation, it doesn't seem like it will be possible to get a place in the Champions League. Roma gave us confidence by drawing against AC Milan in the Italian league but they then drew against Penathinaikos in the UEFA Champions League and their team's Mancini received a red card just 15 minutes into that glorious UCL game against the Penathinaikos team. However last night they gave the most shameless and terrible performance as they suffered a 1-0 defeat against Udinese, there was no thought that they would suddenly lose points in the match and put themselves in the ranks of the weaker teams and we can see that Roma are now in 5th place in the standings and they have 43 points.

Good old Gasperini loses his hair but not his bad habits!
He's an excellent coach, but he's always had major slumps in terms of points and performance! He had it with Atalanta despite doing great things with them.
Their fourth place is starting to look compromised if they continue like this.

I still can’t believe Roma lost to Udinese, and as a result I lost my bet on them. They dominated most of the match, made ten shot attempts and three shots on target, yet it all ended in nothing.
Once again, I think their midfield is their Achilles’ heel ^{it lets down both the attackers and the defenders}. As for the top of the table, that goal looks like the elusive dream for them this season, assuming they even still have that kind of ambition.

This is true and we are seeing how things are looking for him and we are witnessing basically near end of his career as well. When you manage three teams and all of them fire you then it means that something has to be wrong with you and that other teams will have hard time hiring you.

Look at Erik Ten Hag, had was decent back in the day and that is why he managed to move to United, but ever since then he got freed from last two jobs, same will happen to Pioli as well and he will have hard time next job.

But I don't think it's Gasperini's fault, perhaps it's down to the players' fitness, but it's strange that after the Christmas period, teams coached by Gasperini start to falter.
This defeat will make Antonio Conte happier, as he will now have less pressure from Roma.

It seems right to me that a stable team like Inter is rewarded in some way, precisely for being stable and consistent with the game it plays.

After a dismal start to the season, Inter have now rebounded, their form so consistent that they comfortably sit atop the table, well ahead of Milan, Napoli, Juventus, and Roma. If Inter can maintain this consistent performance, they will win the Serie A title, as rivals have struggled to halt Inter dominance thus far.

[babo]

I have to say that Chivu is doing a great job, he hasn't broken anything and is giving continuity to the team by trusting and relying on the players and establishing a relationship of cooperation and trust with them.
the complete opposite of what Antonio Conte does, in practice..
