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

[knowngunman]

Although it's Inter's first defeat, but it means a lot. That's obvious this season is gonna be one of their hardest season. They showed zero creativity in that game, and have no idea to break opponent park the bus strategy. Let's imagine if all of their opponents will be doing park the bus strategy. They will obviously miss so many points.
Yeah kinda disgusting to saw park the bus strategy, but one of most effective strategy to beat Inter.

I know it's automatically hard for any team no matter how good they are to beat a team that pack bus at home but it's never an excuse. Inter scored first and couldn't score more goals neither defend their one goal until Udinese equaliser and then the winning goal. Watching them is like a replay of last season matches. If the situation continues like this with a win, lose, win and then lose, they will definitely not reach fitfy points this season. If you can not penetrate into the bus packed at home, you should at least defend your own territory by all means possible.

Milan has invested a lot in transfers after bringing Allegri right? Still not even close to a PL team, I know.    But Serie A teams usually don't spend huge money on single player.

Anyways Milan got a really good income from departures at the same time. But will these transfers be enough for them to be competitive you think?

Milan has made heavy investment in this summer window, but the result is not like what i have expected. What's wrong with Allegri to left only one RB who is still 20 years. It means their RB position is very thin. I consider their decision to loan Jimenez as one of bad decision.
I believe their right side can be easily exposed. I don't think playing Athekame will work out. Their current composition ain't enough to be competitive.

It's one thing to spend and it's another thing to spend well because there are players that that you spend your money on and they disappoint at the end of the day,but looking at the case of AC Milan you don't expect that Milan should start getting results immediately because this is just week two of the season and don't forget there is also a new manager imon the club so it will take a while before they can start getting results because the team will have to blend together.

Napoli football team played very well against Cagliari with a late winner to get the three points against Cagliari side, although they got tortured a bit in the defensive line which made it difficult for Napoli to break through.

It was a one-sided performance IMO because they didn't press on Napoli, instead they stayed back and defended in both half of the match. It was a solo goal at the end of the match to put Napoli ahead of the league table. The final match stats ended with Napoli gathering about 20 shots and 6 of them were on target; the possession percentage was also around 68. It was an incredible display from Napoli and they deserved that win. Lorenzo Lucca still needs an improvement in his play-- he can't be Lukaku's replacement this season.

Looks like a solid start for Napoli from my point of view and even if the season just began , I think they had the best teams in both weeks so far and they should be favorites to win again but like I said the season is still fresh and a lot can happen.

Now the international break kinda ruins everything right ? I was expecting more Serie A games this week but I guess we will have to wait

Napoli deserved credit this time for showing the mentality of a champion, as she continued to attack until the last minute, notwithstanding her frustration over her opponent's defence. We all know that a late goal is not only important for points but it also gives confidence and a sense of motivation to the team for the match next day. But often while the screen is moving in a clear pattern, it's easy to realise that something like 20 shots with 65% ball possession isn't a number that you would have got otherwise. Despite being terrible at the back, Napoli achieves this come-from-behind result. I don't think Lucca has proved himself yet as Lukaku still has a big shadow that he won't be able to fill.

I don't know what to tell you honestly, I didn't like many of the signings in the slightest, and in all likelihood we won't see a competitive Milan for the Scudetto, but perhaps only for a place in the Champions League

yes it's true I have to say that I didn't like AC Milan's transfer market very much either and honestly with all that money they spent they could have gotten much better, I'm sure that bringing Modric to Milan will have cost a lot, but with the same amount they would have gotten at least a couple of players

Napoli leads the league, and most probably they will be winning it. It seems the odds quoted by bookies for them is right @2.25, while Juve @7.50. The possible scenario is that Napoli and Juve are in the race for the trophies while Roma, Inter, AC Milan are battling for the UCL spots.
I also feel amazed with Como's performance to be at the mid table. It seems they try so hard to play in european next season.

We may be seeing 1. Napoli 2. Juve 3. Inter/Roma at the mid season.

Lorendo Lucca cannot be a Lukaku replacement, which is why Napoli signed Rasmus Hojlund from Manchester United. Napoli need a striker who can do better, even if he does not do better than Lukaku. Hojlund is the perfect replacement for Lukaku and he also has experience playing in the Serie A league. Napoli's performance against Cagliari was good, and if they have a good striker, Napoli will play well in any game because they have good midfielders. Kelvin De Bruyne and McTommnay form an excellent combination for Napoli, and the team will benefit from it.

According to my observations, Napoli is the favourite to win the Serie A title this season. The performance of Inter Milan, AC Milan, Juventus, and other teams shows that Napoli is still better than them, if Hojlund performs well and takes advantage of the opportunities created by Napoli midfielders, he can win a trophy for them and stay with the club permanently.

in practice the one that spent the most without any returns is Como with a 93 million deficit
that's a really big amount of money
I don't know how they planned to cover the costs, but it's impressive and scary the expense they made.

I honestly wouldn't be able to manage a team, I'd be anxious

Maybe I have said elsewhere, if Napoli can maintain points from Inter Milan it is definitely Napoli to be the top club of the 2024/2025 Italian League standings, yes it happened Napoli won 82 points, like the front tire with a rear tire ahead of one point, this will open history for Napoli this season.

For this reason, Napoli can now be said to be the most successful team on the Serie A Italian League trip, by winning a total of 24 wins if I am not wrong with 38 matches, success for the Napoli team going forward.

I really hope it reflects on Milan result at the end of the season, I can’t even remember when last Milan challenge for the Scudetto. The big problem I have with them in spending this money is that there is no any signing of a huge quality player except for Modric who is already cut up with age, then maybe their record signing this summer Christopher Nkuku which they brought from Chelsea.

Nkuku have been an injury prone throughout his career at Chelsea, I pray that doesn’t continue at Milan, because I believe if he his fully fit he can bring in a lot of difference in the squad. I really want the old Milan back, the Milan that will challenge for the scudetto every season, so far they are not living to they expectation as they only pick up just 3 point in the 2 opening games.

[emrecemsan]

I'd like to ask you the same question. Who have you liked the most among the new transfers on the first 2 weeks? 

Just in the source, I can also say De Bruyne is one of the names. I had doubts about him because of his injury history in his last times at Manchester City. But he still made a good start at his new team.

Curiously waiting for Højlund too. Maybe this will be the place his career goes higher...

I don't know most of the new signings in the Italian Serie A. I only know quite a few names like KDB, Akanji, Openda, Tsimikas, Bailey, Amrabat, Dzeko and Hujlund. KDB no doubt, is an exceptional player with a lot of experience, and if he's fit and injury-free, I'm sure he'll make a huge impact. However, I think 2 weeks is too short to know who the best signing is, and some of them are yet to make their debuts.

Of the big names that have landed in Serie A this market session I certainly liked Kevin DeBruine the most, but if I have to choose a name based on good performances and that he has recently arrived in Serie A I choose Inter's Sucic. A player who was unknown until last year, in these two Serie A games he has shown good performances.

After reviewing this list, it turns out that AC Milan spent the most for the 2025/2026 season, but they still saved +€7.30 million from player sales. Their highest penalty was Tijjani Reijnders' transfer to Manchester City for a fee of €55.00 million. Meanwhile, their highest purchase was Christopher Nkunku for a fee of just €37.00 million. Additionally, Milan also signed several midfielders and sold more defenders.

then surely there are internal problems within the company, I'm 100% sure of that otherwise there's no explanation as to why it was so awful
In my opinion the problem is related to the fact that they argued and created confusion and bad mood for everyone.
you can't work this way, in my opinion

Yes, he certainly made a very good transfer market and finished in the black between purchases and disposals. But the team doesn't seem much better to me. It's too early to say of course, but from the first two matches I didn't see a different Milan from last year.
Plus they lost 2 very good players like reijnders and Theo Hernandez
