[ITA] Serie A 2013/2014 (39 Viewers)
- Thread starter Dostoevsky
- Start date
It's still early to tell what the teams will look like, as a lot of changes are happening, apart from Juve of course. Come Sept 1st, things will look more clear as to who possesses the biggest threat in the league to Juve.
As things stand, this would be my prediction of how the league would end.
1. Juve
2. Inter
3. Milan/Fiorentina
Inter - They will be an interesting team to follow with the brand new attack of two youngsters, Belfodil & Icardi (one of them will explode). I can see Kovacic taking the role of Hamsik with Mazzari in charge. They will definitely be a threat and i expect them to stay close at the top of the league until the very end.
Milan - A lot depends here on who they buy/sell. Their weakest link is defense. Fix that and you have a shot at something. I think they will make few surprising purchases by the end of the transfer window.
Fiorentina - It will be a big blow if they lose both Jovetic and Ljajić. Gomez would be an interesting option upfront, but I don't see how a team like Fio will spent 20 million on one player. The return of G. Rossi should be interesting. I expect them to fight for 3rd place with Milan.
Napoli - I expect them to falter big time in the league, definitely not finishing in top 3. With Benitez, the style of play will change a lot to what they have been used to for years under Mazzari. With CL games to play, having a limited squad and a coach like Benitez....doesn't bode well for them.
Roma - They're like bermuda triangle. I have no idea what to expect of them. They already have a decent enough team, and few more good signing should make them compact. It all depends on how Rudi Garcia manages the team.
Lazio - They're the most stable team of the bunch. I expect similar performances and to finish within Europa League positions.
