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

[Lillominato89]

I really appreciate Bologna's good look in the last 2 seasons despite changing managers. First they finished in top 5 which was enough to bring Juventus' attention to Motta. Later they had a worse finish with Vincenzo Italiano maybe but still won a Coppa Italia trophy.

They aren't one of the youngest teams in the Serie A with an average age of 26.5. But considering their market value they are able to perform just the expected. We are going to watch them in the Europa League next season.

Yes, Bologna has had two wonderful seasons, the fans have been waiting for this moment for a very long time, and I'm happy for them that they were able to rejoice again.
This season we will see them play in the Europa League, even if it doesn't have the prestige of the Champions League, it's a more suitable place for Bologna. It will be difficult to see them reach the final but I think they could do good things in this competition

I can't believe Atalanta just sold Mateo Retegui to Al Qadsiah for €65 million euros. Honestly, I never saw this coming. As a club that wants to compete at the highest level in both domestic and european football, I think they've failed. They should have done a lot more to keep him, and their lack of ambition may be the reason Lookman wants to leave too. I'm sure many Atalanta fans will be disgusted by this news.

Don't tell me, Atalanta, which is the team I have a strong sympathy for, relied heavily on this player who had also been naturalized Italian.
I'm very disappointed with how it went but never mind, we'll find another one.
My philosophy is no one is indispensable, we are all useful.

Everyone was surprised by Bologna's success under Motta, who finished among the teams qualifying for the Champions League. However, the squad had a bad season under their new coach, being eliminated from the tournament in the group stage, although they won the Coppa Italiana. Of course, Bologna's fantastic performances in the previous two seasons drew Juventus attention to Motta, and he was hired as manager for the last season, but the manager failed to reach the team expectations, and they fired him.

Fiorentina, on the other hand, has been doing well in Serie A for the past two seasons. Despite the fact that the team has not won a trophy in those two seasons, they have qualified for the Conference League three times in a row and played two finals, but they were unlucky to win the trophy. While they will compete in the competition next season, making it four years in a row. I hope they can learn from their mistakes and win it next season, because qualifying for the Conference League four times in a row is difficult to do.

I can't believe Atalanta just sold Mateo Retegui to Al Qadsiah for ?65 million euros. Honestly, I never saw this coming. As a club that wants to compete at the highest level in both domestic and european football, I think they've failed.

This half-player makes me laugh, he preferred, like many others, the millions of the Arabs rather than a very important career in Italy, it's simply shameful, give him a couple of years and he'll end up in oblivion like all those who went there in search of money.

Completely agree with you, cannot stand all the players which are in the midst of their form and maturity, even from a personal view of the registry, who choose to go to play in championships in which stadiums are half-encountered and who offer nothing but a good golden retreat instead of continuing their career trying to win stimulating challenges and leave an imprint in the world of football.
And I do not accept the speech that they go gain much more considering that already in their current conditions are privileged that once they stopped playing they will no longer need to work for three or four lives at least.
Furthermore, my disagreement in this case is that at this moment he is also the center forward of the Italian national team and despite it he decides to go to play in a championship that does not stimulate even fans of the team for which he will play. Shame on him imo

It shouldn't be suprising since it's now a norms for most players now to leave the European clubs where they could  show the world the talent they're made of and make name for themselves, for the Saudi League where they'll get extra cash and be hidden from much viewers, we'll I don't blame most of them since they're from poor backgrounds and would need that extra cash to carry the responsibilities of their family very well.

 Anyways it's not a big deal and Atalanta fans shouldn't bother about it too much since the money they've made from the deal is to their own advantage, that's enough to go into the Brazilian league or lesser league in Italy and get young rising talents about two or so that would replace him.

It's a good signing for Como and I am impressed with their performance and also the kind of players they sign. Alvaro Morata will be a good addition for them, they need to add more quality to their squad after having a good season last season. They are now aiming to see if they can make it to any European competition so they need a strong team. Morata doesn't seem to fit Galatasaray well enough especially with how Osimhen performed for them last season they see Morata as surplus and will be better for him to join Como for more playing time.
Osimhen deal is almost finalized with Napoli and soon Morata will join Como. I am sure they will still add more players before the end of the transfer window.

Yes, hopefully, Como's efforts in spending a lot of money on players in this transfer window won't be in vain. However, I believe Como isn't just looking to stay in Serie A, but also to secure a spot in the Europa League. If they were solely focused on stay in Serie-A, they wouldn't have spent more than €100 million on all the new players they've acquired this season. This massive buying would be impossible without a Europa League as target goal.

I have been noticing that every transfer window Morata use to move from one team to another, Alvaro Morata has become a player that can not spent two seasons in a club, he was signed by Ac Milan last season and loan out to Galatasary in January and now Como want to sign him, is it that Morata don’t use to be serious in the field or the clubs don’t want to keep him? Morata has played for more than 5 different teams and still hasn’t stayed in one team for two or three seasons.

Como wants to sign him and I don’t think he will have enough time to play in the team because of his age, the club will only use him as a backup striker, Morata should just move to Saudi Arabia and have a chance to play and retire because if he wants to stay in Europe no any top club will come for him and even if they come he will not stay long in the club.

We’ve all known Atalanta to be club who sells player rather than thinking to win title with them, for it not a bad business and their fans should be use to it by now, he is 26, in a few months now he will be 27 so for that amount I think it’s a good business. The big question now is let see how they replace him, he was Italian league highest goal scorer last season with 25 goals, replacing him will be hard be let see if they can come close.

It been a very busy summer so far, a lot of transfer can still happen and don’t be surprised if Atalanta still sell some of their key players, they are a business team so any thing is still very much expected.

Well , Atalanta always had this model right ? growing players , make them valuable and then sell them to who pays more and can you blame them ? at the end of the day football is a business and they decided to take profit and I'm sure they will make 2-3 transfers. However , Atalanta tried to win Serie A for a couple of years now and last year was their best chance until the end of the season when they basically made so many mistakes that cost them important points.

I watch Galatasaray matches because I’m a Galatasaray fan.
I also think that Morata doesn’t fit into the team, he can’t perform in our system, and moving to Como would be a better option for him.
Even if he somehow stays with us, he will definitely remain as a backup striker, because with Osimhen and Icardi in the squad, there’s no chance for Morata to start in the first eleven.

Small teams have the mentality of making money to save for the worst times. You can't shake this mentality since they don't have big sponsors and therefore big budgets at their disposal. It's not easy for them to survive, and so they make these choices.

[Luzin]

However, I believe Como isn't just looking to stay in Serie A, but also to secure a spot in the Europa League. If they were solely focused on stay in Serie-A, they wouldn't have spent more than €100 million on all the new players they've acquired this season.

I think this condition is automatic. If they have many quality players, then they will do well in the league. Then the following season they will be able to go to Europe. So I think they do have a big target but I think realistically for now is to win the league or end up in the top 4 or in the top 6 to participate in the European Conference League qualifying participants. Indeed Como have become a very serious team since they were able to get promoted to the A series.

If you look at the club's transfer policy, the players who come are young. So I think Tim is making transfers for long-term achievements. They didn't bring in star players, but young players who have the potential to become good players.

I was waiting for Retegui to sign for a bigger club after such an impressive goalscoring effort. But here we are! Money talks I'm afraid. 

They offered him many times his current wage at Atalanta. He was fascinated by it and didn't want to give it a second thought.

But honestly Atalanta don't look promising next season. Gasperini also left and Juric got appointed. Better for their top players to look for their options.

I think if Atalanta sell Mateo Retegui to Premier League team can be sold until 100 million euro how Hugo Ekitike sold to Liverpool from Frankfurt 95 million euro. Atalanta made fatal mistake by seling Mateo Retegui will play at champion league next season and keep consistent finish at top fourth in domestic league.
Atalanta fans have another bad news, after selling Retegui have possibility for selling Lookman to Inter Milan, how Atalanta performance next season keep in the top fourth standing position?

[dezoel]

That was the case back when they had Gasperini, he was the type of guy who would find players that fit into his system perfectly, and make them shine. He was an amazing manager, and he handled transfers very well, players would look 100% of who they are with him. But not entirely sure if Atalanta will be the same now that he is gone, I am sad to see him gone, he was very good there, but I am sure that he is going to end up with great situation later on.

However, Atalanta having this type of money, so there won't be any issues for them to start, at least not this season because they can buy their players and do a great job. However, after a while, if they are not managed properly, then they may go back to being an irrelevant team again.

[CLS63]

I'm afraid I don't see a good future for Atalanta either. The departures of important names including their coach Gasperini is likely to affect them in a negative way. Ivan Juric isn't a name which is convincing to me to be honest. He was Roma coach for a temporary period of time earlier. He looked really incapable then. Like he didn't know what to do exactly. Yes, maybe not a long time passed. But on the other hand we have a Ranieri example. He started superbly there. He knew what to do exactly to help them rise again.
