With each new season comes new hopes for all 20 Serie A clubs, and 2012-13 promises to be no different. However, after Juventus' Scudetto triumph last time out, there is a fresh approach to the campaign given the varying degrees of success in the transfer market for those chasing the Bianconeri.

Down at the bottom, there will be some familiar names battling it out, while promoted Sampdoria, Torino and Pescara will be aiming for 17th place first and foremost in their bids to consolidate themselves back in the top flight. For Siena, though, there is the handicap of a six-point penalty.

Add into the mix a host of new signings and several coaching changes, and it promises to be a sometimes unpredictable but always absorbing season.

With the new campaign just around the corner, Goal.com International polled our writers on who they think will be taking all the big prizes next year.

We asked them to name their predictions for the following:

1. The top five at the end of the 2012-13 Serie A season

2. The three teams that will be relegated at the end of the 2012-13 Serie A season

3. Coppa Italia winners

4. Player of the Year

5. Young Player of the Year (Under-21)

6. Capocannoniere

7. Coach of the season

8. Best signing of the season

9. Worst signing of the season
