The 2022-2023 Serie A season is about to start in the early hours of August 14, with the Apennines fighting reignited and new rivalries about to begin.
In order to better watch and predict the Serie A, at the beginning of the season, we bring a preview of the new season to the majority of K-ball users, review the performance of each team last season, look forward to the prospects of the new season, and make some suggestions for the forecast data.
AC Milan – The champion is long gone, and it is not easy to defend the title
Last season review: At this time last year, I am afraid that no one could have predicted that AC Milan would win the championship of the season. Although it is not entirely accurate to call AC Milan a dark horse, basically in the form of last season's championship competition, AC Milan did show the posture of a dark horse. Under the leadership of head coach Pioli, AC Milan soared all the way to the championship, which may be difficult for anyone to imagine at the beginning of the season. In fact, the rise of Milan, on the one hand, should also be attributed to the decline in the strength of other opponents, the so-called peer background. The biggest rivals, Inter, were tired of the Champions League in the middle of the season, with some key campaign points not being scored. Juventus, Napoli, Atalanta, Roma and other teams with the possibility of winning the championship have also declined in strength to varying degrees, so for AC Milan, they have done their own thing, plus the "background" of competitors, and won the league championship after 11 years, which is the first big gain on the road to Milan's revival.
Back at Milan itself, Pioli's tactical play is simple and efficient, without dragging mud and water. And in the squad, Milan have no obvious weaknesses. The strength of the three lines is there. And in terms of the age structure of the players, Milan has also made optimizations. They have big brothers like Ibrahimovic, Giroud, and Koyal. There are also young talents in their early 20s such as Leo and Kalulu, and the combination of new and old is still good. There are also players from McIon, Casey and Rebich who are old enough to play. The optimization of the age group has improved the combat effectiveness of the team and also thrown off the hat of the previous "Milan nursing home". Plus Milan last season they were under little pressure, a good mentality and didn't have much ambition. With the whirlwind of youth and the veterans in the team, AC Milan united under the leadership of Pioli and finally waited to reach the top of Italy.
New season outlook: The squad of Milan has not changed much in the new season, with the main defender Casey leaving the team and the Ivory Coast back going to Barca. Captain Romagnoli went to Lazio, but Romagnoli had a limited number of starts last season, and Spanish midfielder Castillojo left. Overall, Milan's squad framework has not changed much. In terms of squad reinforcement, Milan waived Koi Origi at the end of the season, and midfielder Adélie, who was loaned to Bordeaux last season, returned. In addition, the most important signing in the summer transfer period was the Belgian frontcourt - Kaidetrar, known as Kaka II.
The player is 1.94 meters tall, and he has a relatively strong offensive strength before, which is a new hope for Milan this summer. Overall, Milan's framework has not changed much compared to last season. But for Milan, standing in the position of defending champions is indeed like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, other teams have more obvious reinforcements this summer, and Milan has not moved much, and there are important players who have left the team. Therefore, Milan's road to defending the title is still full of difficulties, and after Pioli's tactical play and the special study of Milan's several strong points, the potential of the team is relatively limited. So AC Milan this season still has to start from scratch and forget the past.
Point of interest: Last season, because Milan basically still has a good record in the data, home and away have the ability to win, especially in this index of 0.75, Milan still has a good ability to win the data. But with Milan winning the title. The positioning of the team will also be upgraded. It is expected that in the new season, Milan's data concessions will improve. Personal prediction, AC Milan's winning rate this season may not be as good as last season, we must pay attention to the changes in Milan's positioning.
Forecast rank: 3-5
Inter Milan – A comeback
Last season review: Inter milan were runners-up last year and it is indeed a bit of a shame not to be able to complete the title. In the last round, they were runners-up with a 2-point difference, but Inter's strength is still worthy of recognition, last season they were affected by multi-line battles, especially in the Champions League, which consumed a lot of energy, involved the energy of the league, and the points in the middle of the season were not enough, so that they finally lost the championship behind their opponents in the same city. Still, the thickness of Inter's squad and the strength of their squad are worthy of recognition. Little Inzaghi also has good coaching ability. He also had a successful team leadership experience at Lazio. Last season Inter Milan. It is still normal to get runners-up in the league, but there are some key games that have not been won, which is indeed a pity. Inter's ability to win against the upper and middle teams is still somewhat insufficient. In the double stage of the Champions League week in the middle of the season, against Napoli, AC Milan, Sassuolo and other teams with certain abilities, they still lost some points. Inter Milan has capable players such as Martinez and Zheko, and the overall ability is guaranteed.
New Season Outlook: The most important signing for Inter in the new season is undoubtedly Lukaku's return to the team, although he did not have a very smooth life in chelsea in the Premier League last season, but in the 2020-2021 season two years ago, Lukaku as a Serie A killer, enough to make any team's defense frightened, when he scored 24 goals plus 11 assists of the terrible double-double data, indeed in Serie A is the big killer of the front. Therefore, Lukaku's return can completely increase Inter Milan's offensive ability, and the addition of Mkhitaryan has also added wings to Milan's previous attacking line, and his combination with Chalhanoglu can make Inter Milan's forward court more smooth. Inter Milan also have some veterans left the team. Older players such as Krarov, Vidal and Perisic have all left the team. But the overall strength of Inter Milan is still not to be underestimated. At least there are no weaknesses and shortcomings in the three lines in Serie A, and the squad is very thick. Therefore, in the new season, Inter Milan personally believes that at least there is still a strong ability to compete for the title, and the rebound strength cannot be underestimated.
Point of reference: Compared to AC Milan, Inter Milan's ability to win is not so strong. As early as the 2020-2021 season, although Inter Milan was the champion that season, they had some games that could not win the data, so relatively speaking, although Inter Milan's performance was very good, but the ability to win was not very good, the reason is because Inter Milan's positioning is very high, the team has many big stars, so the positioning is high, but in the face of weak teams, it is actually a general ability to win. Although in the closing stages of last season, Inter Milan still had a good performance in the period when they were catching up with AC Milan. But Inter Milan was affected by the Champions League last season, and when they play on multiple fronts, Inter Milan's performance is not so good, which also needs to be noted. In the new season, Inter Milan started again. And Lukaku's return will greatly enhance Inter's strength. So I think Inter's winning ability this season should not be worse than last season, and there is still room for improvement

Napoli – The south is strong and facing a blood exchange
Last season in review: Napoli finished third in the league last season and the performance can be said to be decent. Although they did not win the championship, they did not perform very badly. It's just that in some games the overall state is still not adjusted to the best. Moreover, the aging of the main players and injuries still affect the team's play. Although Napoli coach Spalletti stayed in the new season, on the other hand, their squad was still very bloody.
Preview of the new season: Napoli's previous main players have left the team. The new season we see Napoli is a brand new Napoli. From goalkeeper Ospina to West Asia to centre-back Couribali to Chelsea, to Insigne in front of the squad to the MLB and Mertens leaving, these major players have left the team, which will undoubtedly make Napoli fans feel a little lost. In terms of reinforcements, Napoli has an influx of fresh blood. The team brought in South Korean international centre-back Kim Hyun-jae, the most eye-catching deal for Napoli. Cameroon midfielder Zambo was also acquired from Fulham, Uruguayan young defender Matthias from Getafe and Georgian striker Kvaratshelia from Dinamo Batumi. The above 4 players are worth more than 10 million euros. Napoli's season has been a season of renewal. The Napoli we saw was a fresh team. In addition, Zelinsky, Osmaines, Lozano and other players have gradually become the core of the team, and the team is still capable. Napoli's new season is not small in terms of personnel changes, but Spalletti's playing style will not change, Napoli is still the way of attacking football, and is good at small range of cooperation. Last season, Napoli had some key games that didn't take down. It is still regrettable that in the new season they have reason to at least consolidate their current position, although there is a blood change, but they have a reason to continue to occupy the top 4 seats. And multi-line combat, whether the team will bring surprises to everyone, it remains to be seen.
Points: Last season Napoli was characterized by a large number of goals, which is a major feature. This team is good at attacking, and the way of playing is very open, so when they meet weak teams, they are likely to win by a big score, and they may make some small mistakes on the defensive end and lose the ball. So scores like 1:3, 1:4, 3:0 are still relatively common, but napoli's poor performance in strong dialogue last season is also an important feature. The new season of the Napoli squad change is more serious, there are many fresh faces, so for everyone to observe. But overall, Napoli scored more goals for such a statistical feature. The team's ability to abuse dishes is relatively strong, and such characteristics should still be retained.
Forecast rank: 4-6
Juventus – The Bianconeri, back to the top
Last season in review: Last season, Juventus were only fourth in the league. As the most successful and best Serie A team in the past decade, it is indeed a bit difficult to say. After Allegri took office, there was a new transformation of Juventus, but at least last season did not achieve a very ideal result, and after Allegri stayed in the new season, he needed to continue to strengthen and polish Juventus. In fact, in the lineup, Last season Juventus still has a certain strength, but there will always be problems in key positions, such as in the defensive position, The second elder is indeed older, and sometimes there will be some defensive mistakes, and on the front line. Although Ravrahovic won the front killer in the middle of the season, but the previous performance in the front line was not very strong, coupled with the international Chiesa has been injured for a long time, so Juventus did not play the previous dominance last season, and the league is only in fourth place, or the performance is not ideal, the play is very unstable, is the true portrayal of Juventus last season.
New season outlook: Due to the poor league ranking last season, Juventus still attaches great importance to the operation of the transfer period, first Pogba returned to Juventus, although Pogba's performance at Manchester United was mixed, sometimes in poor form, but his arrival in Serie A can be said to be a dimensional reduction blow, just like the above mentioned Romeru Lukaku, Pogba's return to Serie A still has a strong personal ability to show. But the sudden injury caught Juve Hegbogba a bit off guard. Angel Di Maria came to Juve from Paris, Spotic joined from Eintracht Frankfurt, plus Vlahović and Chiesa, and although Pogba is not there, Juventus' offensive ability will not be bad. In the defensive position, although their main defender de Ligt went to Bayern last season, he also won the Brazilian center-back Mobray, who performed very well last season, played 33 games in Turin last season, and scored 3 goals, with strong personal ability at both ends of the attack and defense, and excellent physical fitness, 1.88 meters tall. Although Mowbray was an Inter fan as a child, he still went to Juventus at the eager invitation of Juventus, and juventus has a certain reinforcement at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and Allegri's coaching ability is also trustworthy. So last season Juventus had a bad season, but in the new season they have a reason to return to the top position in Serie A.
As the only team in Serie A, Juventus can be said to be the only team in recent years, and their index positioning is indeed relatively high, but in these seasons, Juventus has also lost the position of champion, so the ability to win is naturally relatively poor. Because Juventus is compared to almost all teams, they are statistically compromised, but Juventus is not too strong in terms of winning ability, and Juventus's state fluctuations are still more obvious, so everyone still has to be careful about Juventus' game, beware of them being upset. The previous two seasons, Juventus really wasn't very trusting. But the new season Juventus from scratch, last season they have slipped to the fourth place in the league, the positioning has also declined, so the new season Juventus should have some room for improvement compared to last season.
Forecast rank: 1-3
Lazio – The Blue Hawk spreads its wings and leaves room
Last season review: Lazio finished fifth in the league last season, and if you look closely, they actually belong to the second group team, the top four belong to the first group, they are all above 70 points. Lazio, on the other hand, has only 64 points, so it is in the second group. Therefore, there is still some gap between the strength of Lazio and the top four, and last season Lazio still played his own characteristics. Lazio's squad can be ranked fifth in the league, although it did not qualify for the Champions League, but the fifth place is also justified, last season Lazio still has obvious characteristics. Their offense was good, but their defensive ability was so poor that in some games they didn't perform well enough. Basically a level in the middle reaches. When encountering weak teams, Lazio is basically able to win, and when encountering teams with similar strengths, there are more draws, and when encountering strong teams that are stronger than themselves, the top four teams are basically difficult to score points, which is a feature of Lazio last season, such a level in the middle and upper reaches, and they were still good on the offensive end last season. With Immobile and Pedro in the field, the goal scoring ability is good, scoring 77 goals this season, ranking second in the league, while the defensive end is a bit worse, conceding 58 goals, the most in the top 7.
New Season Outlook: There are still changes in Lazio's squad in the new season. Among the departing players, midfielder Lucas, goalkeeper Rena, defender Felipe and striker Muric all left the team. Lazio also had corresponding reinforcements, and in the goalkeeper position they acquired various Portuguese goalkeeper Maximiano. In midfield, Inter Milan's Besino and AC Milan's Romagnoli were also acquired, with two former Milan duos joining the team. In the midfield position, there is also Brazilian midfielder Antonio from the miners. As well as Verona's homegrown midfielder Kanzacani and homegrown defender Casale, overall. Lazio still made some blood changes on personnel. In the new season, Lazio still retained the previous framework, the main player Inmobile. Lazzari, Marusic and Archer will remain in the squad. Although Lazio has a certain foundation of strength. However, there is still some gap between the team and the absolute giants of Serie A in terms of investment, resulting in the upper limit of the team is not very high, coupled with Sarri's coaching has been criticized, defensive problems have always existed, coupled with the strong attribute of "bullying soft and afraid of hard", these issues are the problems that need to be solved in the new season
Point of reference: Lazio's ability to win last season is not as good as last season's, which is still more obvious, although they are fifth in the league, and their ability to win data is more average. In addition, Lazio's offensive ability is relatively strong, the defensive ability is relatively poor, but also led to their more goals, these are the characteristics of last season, the new season Lazio has some personnel changes, so it still needs to be observed, but overall, it feels that under the leadership of Sarri, their changes are not very large, and the characteristics of the number of goals may be retained in the new season.
Forecast rank: 5-8
ROMA – Mourinho's Red Wolves, striving to be strong
Last season review: Although Mourinho became Roma's head coach last season, roma did not achieve the desired league results in the league field. They are in sixth place, one point behind their rivals Lazio. In fact, last season's performance of Roma was still decent. Roma have improved a ranking compared to the previous season, but looking at their performance last season, there is still a lot of room for improvement, and in some games, and many of them ended in a draw, so the new season Roma still has to have some reinforcement, there is still potential.
New season outlook: The new season Roma does have a relatively strong reinforcement. Although the previous main players Weletu, Yundale, Mkhitaryan and other players have left the team one after another, roma are still remarkable in terms of reinforcements. Dybala, who moved from Juventus, must have wanted to play his true strength in Rome. There is still a strong sense of personal warfare. In terms of midfield, the addition of Manchester United's former midfielder Nemanja Matic, former Liverpool and Paris midfielder Wijnaldum will undoubtedly enhance Roma's midfield strength. So the overall summer transfer period has made Mourinho's coaching for the second season more available. And Roma also have some capable players in the squad, Tammy Abraham performed well last season, and Uzbekistan Shomurodov also has good ability. They should still have a good future on two fronts in the league and the Europa League in the new season, and last season Roma won the UEFA Cup, which is indeed an important honor for Mourinho to lead the team.
Point of interest: Last season, Roma's ability to win in the league was relatively poor, because Roma's positioning was still a strong team in Serie A, but last season they had more draws, and some key games could not be won, and the ability to abuse dishes was weakened, so last season, Rome as a whole, played more generally in the league. In the new season, Mourinho, as the head coach of the second year, still has a deeper understanding of the team. And the playing style may be more mature, coupled with the obvious reinforcement of the midfield, we have reason to believe that Roma have improved in the ability to win in the new season.
Forecast rank: 2-4
Florence — Purple lily, keep your place
Fiorentina finished 7th in the league last season and qualified for the UEFA Cup. Fiorentina has made some progress last season, and after playing all season, it is still possible to give a passing score. Sitting on such a set of lineups, head coach Italia No. took Fiorentina to a seventh place, or can give a positive evaluation. Fiorentina did show a high level of attack in the first half of last season under Vlahovic, and he played 21 games for Fiorentina in the first half of last season, scoring 17 goals, which is indeed an important reason for Fiorentina's good results in the first half. But after his departure, Fiorentina still slipped in the rankings, especially after April. Fiorentina are experiencing 4 consecutive defeats. In the second half of the season, Fiorentina appeared to lack of stamina and the overall season was not stable enough. It's basically hard to take down strong teams, and they also have some crotch games that have lost to weak teams such as Empoli and Salernitana, so the team is not very stable, but last season they still had highlights, and this can be affirmed in the improvement.
New season outlook: Fiorentina is under little pressure in the new season, because they are still in terms of strength or the positioning of the middle and upper reaches of Serie A. In terms of personnel changes, the framework of the main force is still retained. Two power players, Chiesa and Vlahović, have long since been sold to Juventus and have not played for the team last season. Torreira returned to Arsenal at the end of his loan, Piatek also returned to Hertha Berlin at the end of his loan, while veteran Calebon left Granada while on top of the supplement. Their previously loaned Ivorian striker Kwame has returned from Anderlecht this season and can contribute to the team's frontcourt. In addition, there is jovic of Serbia, the former real madrid striker, who is also good, and there is also a Brazilian defender from the miners. Fiorentina as a whole still has a certain complement, but because the overall framework of Fiorentina is still not strong enough, so for now, it should still hover in the middle of the 7th to 12th place.
Bidding point: Fiorentina improved last season, so the ability to win at the beginning of the season is relatively strong. Especially with Frojović in the team period, Fiorentina often has more goals in the game, but with the departure of the main striker, Fiorentina's winning ability after fiorentina becomes unstable and the state is erratic, so Fiorentina's game is indeed more difficult to guess. They still have a lot of rollovers in the final stage, and they will send warmth to the relegation team, so whether Fiorentina still has such characteristics and problems in the new season remains to be tested by practice.
Forecast rank: 8-10
ATLANTA – Whether the offensive wave can pick up
Atalanta's regression last season was more pronounced. They are third in the league for the 2020-2021 season. Also qualified for the Champions League, Atalanta's attacking storm and youth whirlwind at that time is indeed a unique landscape in Serie A, but last season they only ranked 8th in the league, the regression is obvious, although there is no particularly big change in personnel at Atalanta, but Gasperini's team still can't take down some important battles. First of all, injuries have affected the team's performance, and many of the main players last season were injured. Ilicic, Zapata and Malinov have all been out of the squad with injuries, and in the injury boom, Atalanta has not shown the level of attack they should have, and the defensive end has always been weaker. So last season Atalanta didn't show their previous form and strength, so by the end of the season in April, they could be said to be a mess, completely without the pursuit of records, and the last two rounds ended in defeat. Therefore, whether Atalanta's positioning in the new season will make a comeback remains to be tested.
Season Outlook: The new season atLanta still retains the framework of the main body. Now Leipzig's former winger, Lukman from Nigeria, has joined Atalanta. Player lineup. On the whole, Atalanta still retains the framework of last year, and there are mainly some loan players returning. So during the transfer period, Atlanta didn't do a lot of operations. Last time Atalanta's problems were mainly in defense. As long as There are no injuries in the frontcourt, Atalanta's frontcourt players are still good, and they all have strong forwardcourt offensive ability. But the defensive still needs to be strengthened, and Atalanta's style of play is to open and close. So the new season with the current big framework to return to the top four, personally think it is still difficult, but fortunately Atlanta does not have the trouble of European competition, which is a good condition for them to play in the league.
Data, Atalanta's game has a great feature, that is, the number of goals is more, because they are strong in attack and weak in defense, so they can also score, but also can lose, so Atalanta's goals Everyone can also pay more attention to the direction of more goals. After Atalanta entered April last season, Atalanta played poorly without a fight. The new season of Atalanta is back, whether this young team can return to the same state it was two years ago, we will witness the new season together. But at least it can be felt that under Gasperini's leadership, their offensive football style of play and poor defensive attributes are still there.
Forecast rank: 3-5
Verona – the backbone of the league, maintain strength
Last season in review: Three seasons after Verona's promotion to Serie A, the team were ranked 9th, 10th and 9th respectively. Verona's performance in Serie A has been relatively stable in recent years, and last season they still ranked 9th in the league, which can be described as a standard mid-to-upper-middle team. Verona experienced a change of manager last season, and Tudor played their own after taking over the team in September. In fact, Verona's team is indeed more civilian, the overall value occupies the position of the middle of serie A, from Fiorentina, Atalanta and other teams, the value is only half of them, and they are not sassuolo high, so they can rank 9th, the efficiency and cost performance of the players are good. Verona's 3421 formation is still very distinctive, the past 3 seasons have a good overall play, but also known as a strong team killer, often playing serieS relegation and title spoilers. Simeone Jr. also embodied his personal value in his position on the front line. Last season he scored 17 goals and five assists, arguably Verona's offensive thigh.
New Season Outlook: Verona retained their framework and system in the new season. Although the head coach was replaced, and Udinese head coach Joofy was in charge of the team last season, the tactical play will not change much. In addition, they got French striker Henry from Venice and Scottish defender Doig from the Soviet Super League, which are two important signings. Although their two main players, Zakani and Casalai, both went to Lazio, the overall loss was not very large. Verona is always a team that relies on the whole, and with the exception of the prominent Little Simeone, the other players are indeed more average.
Point of interest: Verona was promoted to Serie A in 19 years, when they ranked 9th in the league in their first season in Serie A, which can be said to be a team with a very good winning ability. In the first two seasons, Veronado played such an image with a strong ability to win fingers, but last season they did not perform very well, because on the one hand, with the team's foothold in Serie A, the positioning improved, and on the other hand, Verona's performance last season was not very stable. Verona's personnel in the new season have not changed much, and I expect their winning ability to win should not be much better than next year than last year. Therefore, the new season should also be on the side of this midstream spoiler, be careful that they will "rob the rich and help the poor".
Forecast rank: 9-11
Turin – progress is evident and cannot be relaxed
Last Season Review: Turin was the team that improved the most last season. In the 20-21 season, Turin was only 17th in the league, and by last season, Turin had risen to the 10th position, from a weak team that would be relegated to the middle of the league, Turin had a big promotion. Last season Turin did show a good record on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, especially since they improved significantly on the defensive end, conceding 41 goals throughout the season. The team with the fewest goals conceded in the 8th to 20th place shows that Turin still has a strong defensive ability, although they do not score many goals, only 46, but turin's defensive counterattack last season is still very effective. Basically, the score that should have been taken was also taken, so it was raised to the 10th place, and they could be awarded the "fastest improving" award.
New Season Outlook: Turin still has some losses in the new season. First of all, in the main players, Pelotti is finally leaving the team, and Bremer is leaving Juventus. There is also Piatica's return to Juventus at the end of his loan. In particular, the first two, one after the other, will have a lot of competitive influence for Turin. In terms of reinforcements, Turin is certainly a bit overwhelmed. They acquired Empoli's striker, Ricci of native Italy. Lazzaro, who received last season's loan from Inter Milan, was added to the flanks. And Serbian striker Radonić, who got it on loan from Marseille, should still make some contributions to the team's frontcourt, but overall, Turin has not actually increased a lot. Or rely on last season's team to compete in the new season. Part of the reason for Torino's stability on the defensive end last season was also due to Bremer, but whether Turin will be beaten back to its original form after Bremer leaves the question of whether it will be played back to its original form. In the front line, the international Pelotti left, leaving Lukic, Zaza and other players, and there needed to be new people to come forward. Therefore, it is not easy for Turin to consolidate its position, but it should not be reduced to the situation of being unable to relegate.
Points: Turin was quite strong last season, with a lot of improvement in terms of winning ability compared to last season, and Turin didn't score many goals last season, and there were a lot of 0:0 matches. The torino was not stable later in the season, with a 0:7 defeat to AC Milan. In the new season, Turin has taken a few core players. There may be some decline in combat effectiveness. Turin's positioning has improved, but the performance of the new season may be a pitfall.
Forecast rank: 10-12
Sassuolo – The Green Legion, with distinctive characteristics
Last season's review: Sassuolo, as the 11th-placed team in the league, is also a distinctive team, scoring 64 goals, only 5 goals less than the league champions AC Milan, while conceding 66 goals, ranking second-to-last in the relegation team, only better than Spezia and Salernitana. Sassuolo is simply the type that can lose and score in Serie A, and they did have a good ability on the offensive end last year. The strong rise of striker Skamaka has added to the team's offensive prowess. Skamaka also became an Italian international, scoring 16 goals last season before moving to Premier League's West Ham United in the new season. There are also internationals Berardi who are also capable offensive players, and on the defensive end, they really play very openly, the characteristics are obvious, and they are in a position in the middle of the league. Sassuolo often faces relegation teams, sassuolo also plays a score of 5:1, and against strong teams it also loses by a score of 1:6 and 0:3.
New Season Outlook: Sassuolo does have some key reinforcement changes in the new season. Scamaka's departure will certainly damage the team's offensive ability, and it came to West Ham with a transfer fee of 36 million. Djulicic switched to Samp, which was mainly the loss of some main forces. But Sassuolo is actually a relatively generous team in Serie A, and they also have reinforcements. They won the Norwegian midfielder, Saltzvette, who previously played for Genk in Belgium, and Uruguayan international Agustin. The value of these two players and the transfer fee are more than 10 million euros. Brazilian midfielder Mateus was also bought out. But overall, compared with the lineup of previous years, Sassuolo has declined slightly. Therefore, although Sassuolo has little pressure on their relegation in the new season, it is still difficult to maintain the top 10.
Competition point: In recent years, the main players Caputo, Djiličic, Skamaka left the team, and it feels that only Bela, Berardi and other players can maintain their strength to be tested, and their defense has always been relatively poor. Previously introduced Sassuolo can score and lose such characteristics, so the big ball attribute is still very strong, the new season may be the offensive end of the walk will be under the loss of personnel may be weakened, which is also need to pay attention to. In terms of winning ability, Sassuolo actually did a more general job last year, especially when encountering strong teams, Sassuolo has almost no ability to fight back, and for relegation teams, they also have the possibility of big wins, so if Verona is a "strong team killer", and Sassuolo does have the attribute of "bullying soft and afraid of hard".
Forecast rank: 12-14
Udinese - steady and relegated
Last season in review: Udinese finished 12th in the league last season. Under The leadership of Joffe last season, the young team of Udinese still put forward its own characteristics. With such a squad you can get the 12th place. At the end of the season, without worrying about relegation, Udinese did their goal. Last season, Udinese's Deulofeu scored 13 goals for the team and was the attacking core of the team's frontcourt. In addition, there is also a striker with dual Citizenship of Portugal and Guinea, Beto, who also has a certain ability to compete. In the midfield, there are still more young players in Udinese. Although their game intensity is average, but full of hard work, under the leadership of the head coach, Udinese still showed qualified relegation ability, and some key battles can also score points. Although they have more losses against strong teams, they are relegating their opponents. There can still be good results in the direct competition.
New Season Outlook: Udinese has completed a change of coach in the new season. Former manager Joofy went to Verona to coach. And the new manager is Sothier who has previously been coaching in the lower leagues, so. Whether he can win the work of the manager in any one of the first divisions is still to be seen, but he is also a famous player of Udinese, who has played a total of 115 games for Udinese before, and the recognition of the fans, his emotional investment and familiarity with Udinese's team is still OK. Udinese has gone through Argentina's international full-back Molina and midfielder Coury Bali Jr. in the new season in terms of personnel changes, but there are still some losses. Of course they also have some additions, getting Moroccan defender Messina from Watford. This is one of their more important members this summer. Defender Ebers was also acquired from Angers. Slovenian defender Björ was acquired from CSKA Moscow and Portuguese defender Buta from Braga. Overall, Udinese still added the defender position, and in the front line, Udinese is relatively thin, once Deu is injured and cannot play, Udinese is afraid that his offensive ability will be greatly reduced. And their midfield is really younger. Udinese must be diligent and make up for his ability to run. If you want to relegate, judging by Udinese's lineup, it is not actually sitting on the fishing platform, and Udinese still needs to add a force to the relegation
Point: Udinese was 12th last season. Although the overall combat effectiveness is not very strong, they are still able to not lose in some key matches, especially in April, there is a wave of three consecutive wins, against three direct relegation opponents have won. So Udinese will basically give three points when facing a strong team, but he can still stand undefeated or win in the direct competition of relegation opponents, which is the characteristic of Udinese last year.

Bologna - the teacher of youth, bo people also burn
Last season in review: Bologna finished 13th in the league last year. The Bologna team is worth around €100 million. From the value, it can also be seen that it is the mid-range team of Serie A. So last year, although Boronia stumbled in the performance of the league was not very smooth, and especially in the unfavorable situation of two consecutive three defeats between December and January, but after entering April 2022, they did not lose five games in April and were finally relegated. Although Bologna also lost to Venice and Sassuolo after completing the relegation, they defeated Genoa in the final round and sent each other to play Serie B.
New Season Outlook: We know that Bologna has a characteristic, they are a team that is very good at using capable young players and sells them after playing well in the team. Like the previous Fuan Jianyang, from St. Turdon to Bologna to Arsenal, it has achieved a triple jump, and this year Bologna has also sold a lot of capable young players. Belgian defender Tite went to Rennes in Ligue 1. Scotland's wing midfielder Aruncigi went to Brentford. Sweden's midfielder Swanberg went to Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga and completed the transfer, and the three under-23 players showed their ability in Bologna last season, thus finding another home. In terms of reinforcements, Boronia is still mainly aiming at young players. They acquired Scotland's youngster Lewis from Aberdeen. The player, who scored 11 goals in the Soviet Premier League last year, is the team's main attacking player, which is the key transfer for Bo ren this summer. In addition, they also waived the visa from Cagliari to Greece's 28-year-old defender, Cogiannis. There is also a loan from Juventus to defender Cambiasso, who previously played for Genoa last season. Overall, Bologna is still dominated by young players. Young people still have an impact. And they all have strong talent, although Bologna's overall strength in Serie A is a situation of lower middle, but with these young players, it will surprise us from time to time, including their current striker Moussabaro, only 23-year-old Gambia foreign aid, has a good ability in the front. It's unclear whether Arnautovic will stay in the squad in the new season, but the 33-year-old Austrian international can still contribute to the team's frontcourt if he leaves the team' frontcourt strength will also be reduced. However, from the current squad thickness and strength, Bologna is still capable of relegation tasks for the new season.
Points: In fact, last season's Bologna is also a bit of a "robbery of the rich and poor" meaning, in the face of capable teams do not lose data, but often lose points on the weak brigade, this is still more obvious, the new season Bubologna is still dominated by young players, head coach Mihajlovic stayed, the overall style has not changed much, so such characteristics should continue, we need to pay attention.

Empoli – a second-year freshman, striving for relegation
Last season review: As a promoted polo team, Empoli finished 14th in the league last season. It is the highest ranked of the 3 promoted polo teams. So Empoli's last season can indeed be summed up in four words: "complete the task." Empoli did do well last season, their squad is still good, with relegation strength. And head coach Andreasoli's tactical play is also more reasonable, so empoli did give everyone a bright feeling as a promotion horse last season, although in terms of combat effectiveness, it is ultimately the positioning of a relegation team, but they do have bright spots. In the two months between November and December, Empoli lost only two games in the league. Against capable teams such as Fiorentina and Verona, they can still win, and they are really not afraid to play in the middle of the team. Empoli occupied a favourable relegation position early on, only to suffer some losses at the end of the season, but in the last round they beat Atalanta in the cold away, which brought their entire season to a successful end.
New season outlook: Empoli had a lot of good players last season, but also because of his excellent performance, he moved to other teams. Italy's homegrown defender Vittti went to Nice in Ligue 1 and midfielder Ricci went to Turin. Piermonti, who scored 13 goals last season, returned to Inter Milan on loan. Striker Di Francisco, who scored five goals last season, joined Lecce after returning to Spall from Empoli. There's also Kutrone's return to Wolves. Empoli is indeed still more serious in terms of personnel loss. The introduction of new recruits is not very big. In order to make up for the loss of the front, they acquired striker Destro, who played in Genoa last year, who still has some strength. There was also defender Ebuech, who played for Venice last season, and Frankfurt's substitute striker Ramos. But as a second-year student in the promotion horse. Empoli's relegation pressure this season is still not small, and Empoli has also completed the change of coach. Now their manager is 39-year-old Italian Zanetti. Coached in Venice for the first few seasons. Although he led Venice to an upgrade, he was also leading the team in relegation last season. Empoli's strong point left, and he could not be blindly optimistic in the form of relegation.
Point: Empoli last season can be said to be a dark horse in relegation Zuri. They did perform well, in December. Two cup games and one league match, but also achieved a good record of three consecutive wins. There were also many upset games, with 0-1 wins over Juventus, Napoli and Atalanta last season. It is indeed a very magical team, but this year with empoli's positioning improved, and with last season's magical performance left in everyone's impression, this year even if it plays well, it can not be regarded as a dark horse. Moreover, the loss of personnel this year is still relatively obvious. Therefore, whether Empoli can successfully relegate in the new season, at present, it is still necessary to draw a question mark.

Sampdoria - Sailors are afraid of water, veterans take the lead
Last season in review: Sampdoria finished 15th in the league last season. Having just completed the relegation task, Sampdoria was able to rank 9th in the league last season, but last season Samp showed a downward trend. The whole season the team didn't play well. They once swallowed a five-game losing streak in league and cup in January. And lost 6 of the 8 matches in March and mid-April. Sampdoria did not play at the level expected before the season. The aging of the players, injuries and Giampaolo's tactical imbalances are inseparable from Sampdoria's sluggish record. Not because the last 3 teams are too weak, Samp is probably difficult to relegate, and their decline last season was serious. The age structure of the players is unreasonable, and there are too many veterans. The head coach's dispatches place too much emphasis on offense, and the defense is stretched.
New Season Outlook: Sampdoria has some squad changes in the new season. The main Japanese centre-back Ma Yoshida also went to the Bundesliga's Schalke 04. Sensi joined Monza after returning to Inter. Norway's midfielder Toth. Norwegian midfielder Askildesen moved to Lecce. Another Norwegian midfielder, Tosby, travelled to The Berlin United in the Bundesliga. In terms of introduction, they have acquired homegrown Italy centre-backs from Verona de Pauli, Caputo and Rincon are officially joining the team. Depoli and Caprari have a defender and a striker, and the two Italian players return to the team at the end of their loans. Colombia's Murillo, who previously played for Celta, also returned on loan. Caputo 35, Quarria Reira 39, Rincon 34, Giulicic 30, defender Murillo 30, Bershinsky is also 30 years old, many of the main players are over 30 years old, and the old age will also make Sampdoria have problems in the intensive schedule. In addition, although Giampaolo stayed in office, the tactical play should also be more defensive, after all, Sampdoria did concede a lot of goals on the defensive end last season. Although Sampdoria still has the possibility of relegation, it is necessary to learn the lessons and not to repeat the mistakes of the past, and the strength of the players and the experience of the veteran should be used. Sampdoria finished 15th in the league last year and there are five teams behind them, so it's not so difficult for them to relegate for the new season.

Spezia – relegated for two years, summing up the experience
Last Season Review: As the best promoted team in 2020-2021, Spezia did well last season. They were 15th in the league that season. Last season, Spezia also finished 16th in the league, dropping one place but also completing the goal of relegation. For this team, being able to relegate for two consecutive years has its own unique features. As a small team in Serie A, Spezia has limited overall investment, that is, to relegate. They didn't play particularly well overall last season either, and they were almost relegated at the end of the season, beating Udinese 3-2 in key matches. But apart from that, five of the six games lost at the end of the season. Spezia's performance last season did not feel as good as the 20-21 season, the overall defensive end is still relatively weak, often won by the opponent's big score, they conceded 71 goals on the defensive end, which is the second-to-last team in Serie A last season, so the task of defending the new season is still very difficult. Of course, the team's offensive ability last season was still good, which is the advantage of their relegation. Other relegation teams like to shrink defensively, but Spezia is also a team that likes to play against the other side, which is their game characteristic.
New season outlook: In the summer of 2021, Spezia was awarded a penalty by FIFA. They had no way to make a signing deal in the next four transfer windows. The reason for the punishment was because they were suspected of acquiring underage players from Africa. So Spezia is really conservative in terms of reinforcements. They are mainly on loan and visa-free. They are two players on loan to AC Milan. First of all, there is Maldini Jr., Daniel is still more suitable for training in a team like Spezia, and there is Caldara, who was loaned to Venice last season, and this season will be represented from AC Milan to Spezia. There is also Sampdoria's Swedish midfielder Ekdahl. And in terms of leaving. Brazilian midfielder Leo left the squad, along with the Albanian striker, and Manai, who scored five goals last season, left the squad. There is also Colombian striker Agudillo, but overall, Spezia's strength has not changed much, optimistically there is still a possibility of relegation, after all, they have two years of relegation experience, but the defensive problem must be solved.
Highlights: In the 2020-2021 season, Spezia's winning ability is good, but last season Sbia had a significant decline, and there were many games they did lose miserably. Although it is still possible to win in the direct dialogue of relegation opponents, the overall decline is still more serious, and Spezia does have more goals on the big ball, because their defense is weaker and dare to attack the opponent, so the goal attribute is relatively strong, which is worth noting.

Salernitana – To create a miracle, there is still work to be done
Last Season Review: Salernitana arguably completed a miracle at the end of the last season of last season, winning all three games from April 16th to April 24th, followed by 5 league games in May, with the first four being 1 win and 3 draws. Although they lost 0:4 to Udinese in the last round, Cagliari's last round was a 0:0 draw with Venice, and Salenitana forced Cagliari to complete the relegation by 1 point, which can be said to have created a small miracle. But the flaws are not hidden, Sanitana is indeed relatively weak in hard power, but in the last time burst out of the high relegation war will. Created their own miracles.
New Season Outlook: Last Season's. Relegation hero Ed sold to Atalanta for 21 million euros, losing a big player in midfield. But in other positions, Sanitana still has a certain reinforcement. From Transa, he won the defender Who played for Cagliari last season, Lovato. Bonazzoli officially joined the team, scoring 10 goals for the team last season. Croatian defender Brada Ricci was also offered ligue 1 Lille. Norwegian striker Bohaimu, who scored 15 goals in the Norwegian Premier League last season, plus four assists, is an attacking player. There is also Ligue 1 Montpellier defender Sambia. On loan, Henri Pirolira, who played at Monza last season. So overall, Santana's reinforcement is still more obvious. Of course, the team as a second-year rookie, last season barely relegated, this season can still create a miracle, we go to witness, but Santana their style of play and Spezia is not the same, or a more conservative defensive counterattack strategy, which is indeed more suitable for their strength positioning
Highlights: Santana's performance last season was indeed poor. And there are more consecutive defeats, so the ability to win is indeed not good, but after 2022, it is obvious that there is a good winner ability, so Santana last season was more pulled down in the first half, and the second half was magical. In terms of lineup, Santana's changing strength in the new season is still increasing, so for now, it still needs to be observed for the team, because the team is indeed a team that is barely relegated, and the positioning should not rise too much
Forecast rank: 17-19
Lecce – back in Serie A, the peppers are spicy
Last season review: As the new Serie B champion, Pepper Lecce Jr. actually still has a certain Serie A background. They used to take it in Serie A in the 80s. Having finished ninth in Serie A, he did not complete relegation as a promotion horse in the 19-10 season. Last season, Lecce in Serie B can be said to have played its own strength and has the domineering spirit of the champion. Overall record, 19 wins, 14 draws and 5 losses. They won the league title, and they conceded the fewest goals in the first division, so still. Through defense and hard power, he became the champion of Serie B and was promoted to Serie A
New Season Outlook: There are still some moves to cut this summer. In terms of actors making adjustments, they let go of last season's team Golden Boot Kodak and sold it to Genoa. And the other last season played well. Defender Luccione and Brazilian goalkeeper Gabriel also left. But in order to supplement Lecce also did some reinforcements. For example, they won the Gambian striker Seiji from Zurich. Last season he scored 20 goals in the Swiss Super League, with 10 assists, and his ability to play in front of the court is still good. In addition, they also won a very young Czech youngster, only 18-year-old midfielder Samek. There's also Banda, the Zambian striker who played in Israel last season. Another striker who scored five goals in Serie A, Venice, scored five goals last season – Di Francisco. He also promoted 5 players from the U19 echelon with himself Lecce. Midfielder Croatian Bistrovic, who played in the Turkish Super League last season. The winner of Serie B comes to Serie A, and there must be a certain change in the formulation. But Lecce's defense is good, and it would be good for them to relegate if they could continue to Serie A.
Point of reference: Lecce has past experience in Serie A, but it can be said that the positioning is not high, in the 19-20 season they did not complete relegation, and the overall trend is relatively poor. In the new season, Lecce started again as the new Serie B champion, personally I think that they really showed the strength of dominance in the meaning of last season, so there should still be some room for play in Serie A, so although the new season says that there are some changes in Lecce's lineup, but the strength should also be there, so the ability to win should not be very bad.
Forecast rank: 15-17
Kremonese – not afraid of strong enemies, but also has dreams
Last season in review: Last year's Serie B runner-up team was Cremonese. This team is located near the city of Milan and is a team in the north. The last time they played in Serie A was in the distant 95-96 season. In fact, this team has improved relatively fast in the past two years, and in the 20th to 21st season, they only ranked 13th in Serie B and did not feel promoted. In the last season, that is, the 21st to 22nd season, their results improved rapidly, with an overall score of 20 wins, 9 draws and 9 losses, and won the place directly promoted to the second place in Serie B.
New season outlook: Cremonese is actually the lowest of the three teams promoted in Serie A this season, with less than 50 million euros, so it is true that for them, the relegation pressure in the new season is still relatively large. Kremonese completed the change of coach after the promotion. The previous manager Fabio moved to Parma, and the new coach is local coach Alvini. He only had coaching experience in Serie B and Serie C before, so he felt that coaching Serie A was still needed. Give him some time to adapt. In terms of personnel acquisition, they have won Nigerian striker Okrek from Venice this summer, who scored seven goals in the league last season, or a good personal play. In addition, they also won the midfielder Pique who played for Famalicon in the Turkish Super League last season, the defender Eivo who played quickly in Vienna last season, as well as Inter Milan goalkeeper Radu and the native Italian player Who played for Almero Hercules in the Dutch League last season, but overall, this team is indeed a little weaker. So the new season is likely to become a weak team soft persimmon that is bullied by all teams.
Forecast rank: 18-20
Monza – sitting on the big guys, the new team of old people
Last Season In Review: The last team was Monza, who finished fourth in Serie B last season and was promoted through a promotion and relegation play-off. This team is indeed more special, the owner behind the scenes is Berlusconi, and AC Milan are also inextricably linked, in fact, Monza was promoted from Serie A to Serie B season to achieve promotion, in the 2021 season they have already scored a play-off, but in the last play-off game a goal difference lost to Chitadella. Last season Amonza was good, finishing 4th in the league but strong in the play-offs. They defeated Spezia and then Pisa, completing historic upgrades.
New season outlook: As the team with the highest player value among the 3-promotion team, Monza has a player value of 100 million euros, so it should also play, and there are indeed players we are familiar with in their squad. For example, the Forest family, who played for Inter before, and Percena, AC Milan and Suning's Palleta, who played for Atalanta, are now in Monza's squad, and it is said that the team is also in contact with stars such as Icardi, Sanchez and Mayoral. Maybe there are new surprises. In terms of coaching position, Monza's head coach Stroppa was previously from AC Milan, so the team does have a close relationship with AC Milan. In addition, Danimotta, Gitechar and Marić, who performed better last season, all stayed in the team, and their strength increased unabated. So, although Monza seems to be far away from us, it is also a very close team to a certain extent, so their goal in the new season is to relegate. At present, their strength is worth a lot, and there are many veterans in the more experienced team, young people, and the age structure is more reasonable.
Point of interest: Monza as a promotion horse should not be positioned high, but he is the most expensive team among the promotion horses, this still needs attention. Personally, I think that the performance of Monza in the new season is still relatively optimistic, after all, Berlusconi's relationship, there are still many players with strength, so although Monza is now ranked first in the natural ranking, but really playing the game, Monza still has the strength beyond the positioning.
