[Football] Italian Serie A League Discussion & Betting Topic

[ajiz138]

The first half was goalless and finally the first goal was scored in the first 4 minutes of the second half created by Bologna. I was a little skeptical about AC Milan because they had to concede first.

But they were able to show something good and finally were able to create a reply goal and turn things around within 6 minutes. And they even scored again just before the match ended.

This victory also brought AC Milan to a winning trend that has continued in the last 4 matches. First, AC Milan managed to beat Inter in the semi-finals of the Coppa Italia, then after that AC Milan managed to continue winning in Serie A. Like in the matches against Venice and Genoa. And today AC Milan also managed to beat Bologna. And actually today's victory also provides a fairly clear picture that even in the Coppa Italia final, AC Milan could potentially win the match and lift the Coppa Italia trophy this season. Because coincidentally, in the Coppa Italia final, it turns out that the team that will be faced is the team that was also defeated today by AC Milan in Serie A, namely Bologna. So I don't think I will hesitate to favor AC Milan in the Coppa Italia final.

Oh yeah they still have a final, I almost forgot about that, and their opponent is also the team they beat in the last match, so that increases their chances of becoming champions.

I think so too, AC Milan will be more favored in this final match. And if they succeed in becoming champions, then it will be very good for their morale, especially for next season.

Inter defeated Torino 2-0 earlier today, while the leader, Napoli, is drawing 1-1 against Genoa, and if things won't change, the distance between Napoli and Inter would shrink to only one point.
Just a reminder, if both teams from the 1st and 2nd place have the same number of points after 38 games, they will play an additional game against each other to decide who wins the league. That's an interesting difference between Serie A and most of the European leagues.

There's a real battle going on for the 3rd and 4th places (the remaining Champions Leeague places). Tomorrow Atalanta (3rd) plays against Roma (6th). Atalanta is a x2.04 favourite, odds for Roma are x3.65 (odds from BC.Game). But what's interesting and worth considering is that Atalanta tends to do better in away games than at home. If we take a quick peak on the home/away stats:


we can see that Atalanta's home advantage, when offset (+0.64 less 0.46) is only 0.18 point, which is pretty negligible. Considering both teams are not too far away from each other in terms of league performance, maybe a small bet on Roma could be a good value one.

I am so happy about the win against Bologna, Milan plays great with Mother’s Day jerseys. But now, Milan must fully focus on the Coppa final. 
Need to bring them back and bring that Rossoneri spirit for the Coppa Italia Final.
I love Gabbia, After many years of struggles, he became a solid and consistent defender, Milan needed him.
And congrats to Gimenez for his first double, I am waiting for a hat-trick in the final.

Yeah this win felt incredibly special especially considering the momentum Milan has been creating lately. That swift response after conceding showed genuine character and the squad seems united. Gabbia has really stepped up and it's fantastic to see players like Gimenez making an impact too. If they sustain this intensity and attention I think they have a solid opportunity of capturing the Coppa Italia.

Milan came from behind to win yet again, the same result in the Coppa final next week will do nicely.
If Milan under Sergio Conceicao finish 8th in the league and they win the Coppa, I will rate this team 7 out of 1-10 and I'm optimistic they'll win.
However, rather than saying that, regardless of the Coppa Italia result, I want to see what Conceicao can do with a full season.

Great! The title race is becoming increasingly tight and exciting. Yesterday, Inter won 2-0 against Torino, fielding mostly reserve players and only a few regular starters in order to stay fresh for the big Champions League clash on May 31.

Napoli, on the other hand, finished their match 2-2 against Genoa and now sits just one point ahead of Inter with only two games left in the league.

The upcoming matches will be crucial for both teams.
Inter will play at home against Lazio—a very tough match, as Lazio is fighting for important points to qualify for the Champions League.
Napoli will visit Parma, who are not yet safe from relegation and will desperately be looking for points to ensure survival.

How will it all end?

It's hard to predict how this season will end. Because the competition between Napoli and Inter Milan for the championship title still continues to this day. And maybe Napoli have weaker opponents than Inter Milan who have to face a fairly strong team. But Napoli's inconsistency, which sometimes also has difficulty winning when facing weak teams, is always quite difficult to predict. But I have a feeling that Napoli will win the title.
