Guys, don't forget that all 10 games will be played on the same time early on Thursday. So, better put your predictions earlier to not miss it.

I knew they are due to tomorrow but I had no idea they will be played that early, first game starts 12:30 local time. Makes sense when you realize that tomorrow is holiday and nobody is working in Italy

I will put out our free bet challenge later today but it will be with Sunday games not these ones tomorrow so you have time to put your predictions in. If you have a favorite game you want to see let me know in next couple of hours.

Salernitana simply cannot catch a break! As you may recall, they were not allowed to travel to Udine and play two weeks ago. Currently, they are dealing with another covid outbreak within their team, and the local health officials would not allow them to play at home against Venezia on Thursday. #Awaiting Arrival Of Home Team Grin

Yeah, "Awaiting arrival of home team" would be a bit strange thing. Only in Serie A Cheesy

. On Flashscore game is shown as postponed, but still listed on Serie A website.
BTW, Salernitana wrre sold to new owner, so they won't be kicked out from league. They will have to wait until end of season to leave Serie A.

ASL blocks Salernitana: the Lega has been asked to postpone the match against Venice

A new outbreak in the Salernitana team group. The ASL Salerno, after the communication by the Campania club of the new five cases of positive members to Covid 19, has decided to put the whole team and staff in isolation. Inevitable the request for postponement to the Lega by the Campania club of the match scheduled at Arechi for Thursday against Venice.

Covid emergency: the League will not postpone the matches scheduled for Thursday

The calendar of the first day of Serie A return, scheduled for Thursday, remains unchanged: this is what was decided by the Lega Calcio, to which Salernitana had addressed a request to postpone the match with Venice for the quarantine decided by the ASL after the eleven positivity to the Covid found.

If i were you i would definitely check the starting lineups of each game before (and if) it starts and then put my predictions. There could be more of those "postponements" going forward. Udinese, Torino, and Verona also hit hard with multiple covid cases (7+).

Oh yes,,, I also just realized now there is a long break in Italy, is this normal for the league or just because of Covid?

It is really very difficult now to make arrangements for all the football I wonder if we will see another postponement, and I am sure some teams would really like the break, especially Salertina now who must find a buyer. Crisis time!

I think this is normal because in every league everyone is given a winter break with almost the same time gap, which is two weeks.
and I think this is a pretty good thing apart from the recovery of their players, they can at least be refreshing even for a while.
on the other hand maybe what is still running now is the EPL because indeed they are now on Boxing day which is only done in the league itself

Yes, I saw some other explanation about this already now. Anyway, Winter break is ending this week and we can resume the thick schedule for football everywhere!

Juventus versus Napoli is the biggest game and the home team is highly favored by the odds to win, but Napoli I am sure will insist to have a few words about the outcome. So I might make a pick on them to win Wink

That's my personal question too because I also just found out about the case and the existence of a rule like this, I understand it may have been an agreed rule but it doesn't feel like something good. But even so if I'm not mistaken, Salernitana is still given a deadline until the end of the month or the end of this year, but considering that time is getting closer I personally am not sure Salernitana will get a new ownership. Therefore, I will only look forward to the continuation of this case as well and hope for the best.

Ooops just saw I spelled the name wrong but the club is totally new to me did not know about their existence until this season. It is not fun at all for the club of course and if I was in Serie A I would feel it totally takes away from my season if even 1 team is gone like this.

England celebrates Christmas, it is different for them and they are crazy

They have a tradition of playing trough winter holidays and it is their way of celebration. That part of my post was intended for leagues like: Turkey, China, Taiwan, Iran, Israel, Morocco, Quatar.... As far as I know they don't have holidays at this time and it is work as usual for them.

I sort of can understand it I guess but it would be really interesting to know the history behind this and why they PLAY on Christmas holiday when everybody else is home with family.

Also this brings another question maybe you know the answer to,,, which is why on earth do you guys play a weird calendar league? In Asia we have annual leagues also but it is all finished and started in the same year

And yes, Christmas is all the same for us, it is a public holiday but mostly because Europe clients are all not working anyway. But since it is Saturday there was no extra holiday

As far as I know this is normal not because of the covid case because even the EPL will still run boxing day matches which obviously have a lot of matches there that have been postponed before but there is no change to the normal schedule. Regarding Salernitana, the news says they need a new owner and if they don't get him then Salernitana will be forced out of Serie A to Serie B. But considering his performance so far, I think Salernitana will certainly be relegated, but regarding the problems faced, Salernitana will be relegated sooner and not wait until the end of the season.

If this happens does that mean there are only 19 teams in Serie A and all teams remaining have 1 less game? It seems to be extremely unfair but then again the rules is the rules. Just I find it strange it happens like this when surely there was many months to prepare for it.

not an expert, but I think that it is pretty regular thing for Serie A to have new year break
they had two rounds last week, probably to skip this weekend, due to Christmas, and now they have two week gap

Sounds like a good idea if you ask me. We all get breaks (well I do not but that is sort of my job but I get triple or more pay in holidays) why not footballers right?

Quote from: Trofo on December 24, 2021, 08:26:07 AM

All leagues in the world have break for winter holidays. It usually lasts about 2 weeks.

Only exceptions are Premier League and couple of leagues from countries that don't celebrate Christmas.

Napoli game is a perfect example of bad luck and just not your day. Did anybody watch the game? I did not but from the stats and reports it seems Napoli was destroying them and the ball just did not want to enter the goal. This is first time ever that club managed to win without single strike on goal in Serie A

haven't watch Napoli, but yeah, statistics seems to be in their favour top to bottom, bad luck - although they have a bad strike now

Jesus holy moly. There are some games playing right now, I just got an alert. A bit awkward and I did want to watch Lazio as they're on my ticket but still need to work. Next week will be tough too, but get your picks in people, if you haven't already. I see loads of old picks from games moved over to this week so some old picks might need to change.

I was too late to make picks for yesterday's early games.I simply had no idea that midweek games can be played so early day. So yeah, probably it would be best to make picks for upcoming week now. Bussy Christmas period with many games played and lot of postponed or rescheduled games makes things a bit messy.
Though, as I see, Serie A goes into 2 week break and next game will be played just on 6th January if nothing will change. So, all attention goes to EPL, unfortunately, 2 Boxing Day games already got postponed.

So, a night when Atalanta killed my bets was followed by a night of Napoli making me smile and shake my head. In fact I even just went for Napoli double chance just to boost what I thought was a sure thing on other accas (didn't matter though, so at least there's that) but they couldn't even score.

Didn't watch Napoli but I watched Atalanta and it was same, Zapata was a terror until he got injured and got subbed, but you can't say they weren't threatening all night (I didn't watch second half though) and Genoa were simply outmatched in creativity.

Sassuolo is a shit team for me
I did not take them seriously last season, and they were near the top, and now when I am trying to put them better, they play like shit

Napoli surprised me, obviously they cannot keep with schedule, to many games for them in small time-window, and they are going down, step by step

Sassuolo has brought me a lot of money with both to score market so I like them. Too be fair they screwed for a nice ticket this time around. Only game I missed, can't belive they were not able to score one goal.

Italian league as morvillz7z describes is truly mind boggling!

Corruption can happen in any other league as things can happen behind closed doors without the organizing body knowing of their occurrences.
I heard of some teams having the same owners on a sports chat yesterday while watching the utter embarrassing match of Atalanta (this one match decimated many parlays on there I might add) but did not take much heed to what was being said.
Being strucked out of a major league like this is something that won't be easily forgotten.

Atalanta and Napoli are in trouble in this league I think. Yes they play very good attractive football. I actually saw some clips from Champions League though and the Italians look like they do not know what they are doing against the really big clubs. Of course I hope Inter does some damage to Liverpool but they were even just so lucky to progress.

I already put in my picks for the remainder of this year as at last week, I'll only review and change them If I have a different opinion as the commence.
