Juventus with one point from their trip to Udine and today's humiliating loss to Serie B promotee Empoli.

From the Perez/Agnelli Super League fiasco to Juventus finishing fourth and Ronaldo leaving the club earlier this week, who said things couldn't get any worse? Lol

As an avid Juve hater, i'm simply living the dream. Jjust. Grin

Bagged 12/1 win on Empoli, although as I said yesterday, the odds should really have been far higher. I guess without Ronaldo, despite his age and price tag, still big enough for the bookies to tick their odds down.

Not going to be good value throughout the season anymore if the best I could get was 12x on a promotee playing away.

Time for a new champion in Serie A!

This Juve squad has no chance to take the title in my opinion. It is not so much a problem of Ronaldo going away as much as quite limited squad. They are good defensivly as always but Chielini will not be playing for ever. Other parts of the squad are just ok, nothing that screams title contender to me.

Inter looks miles better and with more quality even after losing Hakimi and Lukaku. They brought some good players and I expect them in the top again. Maybe Atalanta, Lazio or Napoli have quality for that extra step this season. I don't trust Milan but have not seen them play yet.

Right, so, Juventus to lose today after drawing the last game, easy bet right guys? I said this season I'm not going to go for all-out crazy results, so will use bets instead to place on the upsets. Not really super good odds against them today and at home too. But maybe the impact of losing Ronaldo psychologically weakens them?

was not at home, so did not changed the score, but yeah, Ronaldo leave could be the reason that Juventus is down at halftime
nevertheless, I do not expect from them to lose, it will probably end-up 1:1

Atalanta was a booger for me, 0:0 at home is a really lousy result, for BTT, home win, goals, everything that one could play on that match

Inter rescued themselves late huh. Needed them and Haaland to win for BVB in injury time for a nice 82/10 Friday special.

I'm going to be busy with eyes at Anfield though;)

Not all because Juventus only got a draw. Cheesy

By the way, I'm also at the bottom but I'm sure with a difference like this, at least it's still possible for everyone to change positions in each round. So yes, the temporary points gain in this first round will still not make me pessimistic because there is still a long way to go, but I admit all participants have good skills and as far as I have experienced, they are difficult to overtake. Sad

Ahaha yes,,, you are right indeed. But I think it was still a great round if you bet on every favourite as many were very close at over 2x odds. But anyway, as you say there is so close gaps between 1st and last place it is not too late. I think only until Round 19 (halfway) can we really say who has no chance.

Damn, I am bottom of the pool, never started this badly before. I guess I'll need some time to figure out current form of Serie A teams. Went for couple of surprises but all the wrong ones.

Some rumours flying around about Ronaldo wanting to leave Juve. Don't think it is very likely since nobody has the money for him now that PSG signed Messi.

Inter bought Belotti for 15M, sounds like great deal for them considering amounts other clubs pay for players these days.

Yes,,, all of the favorites won in this first round, which is also a bit strange I think for opening season matches but I do not really follow Italian league so I do not know how history works.

I bet you Manchester clubs both want Ronaldo if the price is right. Old guys usually go to United and not City though Grin

Didn't expect to be top of this table so far, but I guess that's what I get for picking favourites.

I thought you always pick the non-favorites though?

I mean, you are always against City in EPL,,, and I saw the old posts on last season and you always picked against Juventus;)

He still does, but not just always... He probably like going against the odds, but we'll figure out if he'll keep at it while at the top spot Cheesy

I've done well enough for this round I guess, Juventus was the only surprise and I was actually not going for Sassuolo in the pool, despite having a bet on them

^ I had a parlay that lost 2 out of 5 legs: Lyon and Juventus... and both were playing pretty bad teams, both of them even dropping points late, though I saw Ronaldo actually had a 94th min goal disallowed. Really tough as I'd otherwise at least get my bet back with SB free insurance.

You started the pools in top form this season, but it isn't how you start them it is how you finish them. I was actually 3rd in the pool for whole season last year and then lost my place one week before the pool finished. Of course I finished 4th in the other pool as well, just outside the rewards in both pools... This season has to go better, right?

Watched Juve game towards the end, they can be happy they did not loose it. Before Ronaldo scored that disallowed goal they looked ready to capitulate.

I KNEW Juventus would have a first game problem but why did I change my score back to win? Because I overthought the game Wink

Quote from: Trofo on August 20, 2021, 11:20:05 AM

I have no problem sharing my predictions, and I believe there will be others as well. It is not like it is fixed game, it is simply our analyses of the clubs. Some will be winning predictions, some will fail badly but we should share as much as possible. It will not have big influence on our pool for sure. If I give picks for 2 games per week there is still 8 games staying "secret".

14 of us in the pool so far, respectable number for good season.

I was just joking of course,,, I am always sharing predictions before joining this pool and I am seldom, seldom ever changing my mind even when seeing expert picks. Very good number I agree. Especially when I remember I was asked to join it was not yet even 10:)

Pedro joined Lazio just two days ago, "first transfer between the cross-city rivals in 40 years", and immediately put in the starting lineup by Sarri, interesting move.

yeah, great start for Lazio, and Sergej MS had great game, with 94/100 score on Sorare, which is mostly enough for me to pass reward threshold with all five players, expecting great season from him
had 1:2 for Torino in the pool, did not watch the match, but I am pleased to have one exact score in first four matches

I'm surprised at how well Torino played today, missed on a bunch of good chances, did not deserve to lose like that.

They had to lose since I had them as draw in the pool. Same as LFC and Newcastle got their goals overruled by VAR since I needed just those goals for correct scores

Did not watch the match but I saw by the stats that Torino destroyed Atalanta in second half, was sure they are gonna score while they were still losing 0:1.

Inter started well into the new season and it is always nice for new players to open their account with goals, take so much pressure away for future.

Edit: 15 of in this pool, everybody who promised to play paid already and I am thinking that will be our final number for this season. As I said I will leave some more time for new players to join (until 01.10.2021.) but I don't expect anyone to do that. Will work out the exact prizes at that time, you have rough idea in the OP.

and Inter started with a smash, Genoa is not opponent that could challenge what they can offer, but 4:0 is good sign for the season, and Dzeko seemed as really good addition to the team

Indeed, not too bad of a debut for him and Calhanoglu, each with an assist/goal.

Looking at Genoa, this might be a disastrous season, especially up front, where i'm not sure who will be the guy and score goals for them. They started the match with 38 old Pandev and some kid i've never heard of before. Shomurodov to Roma, Scamacca to Sassuolo and Mattia Destro wants out, <--- these three combined scored almost 30 goals for Genoa last season. They better find a new striker or else...

Alot of goals in the matches I watched on matchday 1 of this league and it was a bit more interesting than the ones I watch in the epl earlier on.
Inter Milan match didn't disappoint with 4 goal to nil and it was a great game to watch if your just sitting down to see Serie A league play for the first time. Because usually I just bet on the favorites and don't end up watching the games, but since being in the pool this year I decided to keep my afternoon's free to see what I was missing out on.
The next one was Atalanta who didn't go away after losing the lead half way through the next 45 minutes.
Scoring a game winning goal at the last minute of injury time made for an enjoyable match to end the day.
Can't wait for the next set of matches for tomorrow and expecting alot more goals from Juventus, Napoli and Roma.

other match in Verona seemed as a draw, but Sassuolo will obviously had another good season, they were my "boogie" team last season, and will be this season as well, I simply do not believe in them

Inter were utterly rampant, way beyond my expectations to be very honest, I didn't foresee a flawless victory for Inzaghi's men.

Lazio are all over Empoli right now with a 3 - 1 lead at halftime, but my wild card pick in Atalanta are just a goal ahead, I'd really need 2 goals more from this fixture to make my today's betting a profitable one.

3-5-2 typical inter milan .. they played this formation successfully since mourinho glorious era and the last time used again by antonio conte who well known also loves to play this formation and winning the serie A title but it has a lot of vulnerabilities just like what we have seen in this match where inter attack aggressively but also got counter-attacked easily..

luckily they defend it quick and prertty well, inzaghi seems fit to i nerazzurri , sweet win on the 1st giornata. well done.
