Italian Serie A Predictions

Napoli vs Atalanta: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

Serie A high flyers Napoli will look to get back to winning ways when they welcome top-four hopefuls Atalanta to Stadio Diego Armando Maradona on Saturday.

The hosts suffered a rare loss last weekend when they went down 1-0 to Lazio at home. The loss ended a run of seven consecutive wins for Luciano Spaletti’s side, who maintained a healthy double-digit lead at the top of the table regardless of the result.

They will fancy their chances of winning here, given that they have yet to lose consecutive matches this Serie A season. However, an upcoming Champions League round of 16-second leg after this clash against Atalanta, who defeated them 3-2 in their last Serie A home head-to-head, adds to the intrigue.

The visitors are among the only two teams to have beaten Napoli this season. Yet they are losing steam in the top-four race with only two wins from their last seven league games (D2, L3). Moreover, they have suffered indifferent results in their previous nine league games away from home (W3, D3, L3), threatening their Champions League qualification for next season.

They have failed to score in three successive league games for the first time since October 2018 after firing blanks against Milan (2-0) and Udinese (0-0). But this trip may help them avert that prospect as the visitors have scored in the last nine Serie A H2Hs, their longest run against Napoli.

Given the history of this tie, we can expect both teams to score here. So a BTTS/GG bet is the best prediction for this game.

Spezia vs Inter Milan: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

Inter Milan will travel to Stadio Alberto Picco this Friday to face Spezia in the 26th Round of the 2022/23 Serie A season.

Struggling Spezia did little to boost their survival hopes at the weekend as they held to a goalless draw by Hellas Verona. That draw means they missed the chance to open up a six-point gap to 18th place, with Spezia currently sat in 17th position, three points ahead of Verona.

But that result did at least extend Spezia’s unbeaten run under new boss Leonardo Semplici to two matches (D2). They will now face one of the biggest occasions Serie A can offer – Inter Milan.

Spezia have not fared well in this fixture, as they have zero wins in their last six encounters with Inter (D1, L5). And considering Semplici’s side are winless in their last nine league home games (D5, L4), failing to score a goal across the previous five, there appears little chance of a maiden head-to-head win here.

Inter Milan look primed to take all three points from this game, considering their form heading into this fixture. The visitors are currently the second-best team in the league, with four wins in their last six league games (D1, L1), giving them a grip on second place as their quest for a sixth successive top-four finish continues.

After suffering a rare 1-0 loss to Bologna on their last away trip, Inter will be desperate to bounce back from that loss which was their first league away defeat of 2023 on their previous road trip.

Considering they come into the round with a joint-second most Serie A goals scored in the opening ten minutes of games (five), they will fancy their chances of ensuring they bounce back very early in this game.

That said, a ‘Goal First Half’ bet will be the correct prediction for this game.

Napoli vs Lazio: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

Napoli will look to continue their inevitable march towards their first league title since 1990 when they welcome Lazio to Stadio Diego Armando Maradona this Friday.

The hosts kept their quest for the league title alive with a 2-0 win at Empoli on Saturday. The win extended their lead at the top of the table to 18 points and also made it seven straight wins in all competitions.

As such prediction analysts, Opta now given them a 99.9% chance of winning the title. They are without a league loss in 14 matches at home (W12, D2), and that percentage is unlikely to drop any time soon as they’ve won each of the last six H2Hs against Lazio here.

They have averaged four goals per game across the last three of those meetings, so we can expect another high-scoring affair here. Lazio aren’t pushovers, though, as they are unbeaten in their last four games in all competitions (W3, D1) while keeping four clean sheets.

They’re hitting form at the right time as they chase European qualification (W3, D2, L1). Currently sitting in the top five, Lazio will travel to Naples looking to inflict their first defeat on Napoli since 2020.

Juventus vs Torino: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

Juventus and Torino will battle for three points this Tuesday when they meet at Allianz Stadium for the 156th edition of the Derby della Molle in Serie A.

Both teams are local rivals as they are both situated in the city of Turin. But Juventus are way ahead of their city rivals in achievement and history. Yet this season, they find themselves close to each other on the table, with Juventus sitting in eighth position, while Torino are sitting in ninth.

Despite having 15 points deducted from them, Juventus are still battling hard to qualify for a place in Europe next season. They come into this game on the back of a 3-0 midweek UEFA Europa League victory against Nantes. The win gave them a place in the next round of the Europa League.

Maximiliano Allegri’s men can reasonably be expected to win this against a Torino side they have beaten in 24 of the last 33 Serie A H2Hs (D8, L1). The visitors’ current form does not inspire confidence, too, as they come into this tie on the back of a disappointing 2-2 draw with winless Cremonese.

Winning away from home is also a problem that has plagued Torino for quite a while now, with just two victories from their last ten Serie A road trips (D3, L5). Those away games haven’t proved fruitful for points, but they have proved entertaining for the neutral, with Torino witnessing both teams score in a joint-league-high nine Serie A away games this term.

So the correct prediction for this game is BTTS/GG.

AC Milan vs Atalanta: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

AC Milan and Atalanta will battle for Serie A points this Sunday when both sides meet at the San Siro for the 24th round of the 2022/23 Serie A season.

Milan have failed to do well in their title defence, having already lost five league games this season (W13, D5). Three of those losses came in 2023 alone, leaving the San Siro side 21 points off league leaders Napoli.

But they are starting to build momentum again after overcoming a winless run at the start of the year that stretched seven competitive matches (D2, L5) and have now won each of their last three competitive games, with each accompanied by the same 1-0 scoreline.

However, a haul of just one point from their last four matches against sides in the top six at the start of this round hints that continuing that run won’t be easy for Stefano Pioli’s men.

Although Atalanta have had inconsistent results in 2023, they have maintained their quest for a top-four finish. Currently sitting in sixth position, they started this round in sixth place, three points behind their hosts, after an embarrassing loss at home to Lecce.

Despite this, Gian Piero Gasperini’s side have a proud record against the division’s best sides on the road, which could play a part in helping them revitalise their season here. Atalanta are undefeated in any Serie A away game against a side starting the round inside the top 12 (W5, D2), with their most recent being a 2-0 win away to Lazio, who separate Atalanta and Milan in the league table.

That said, we can expect both teams to score here.

Empoli vs Napoli: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

Napoli will look to continue their match towards the Scudetto when they travel to Stadio Carlo Castellani to face Empoli.

Empoli come into this tie in good shape, having lost just once in 2023 (W2, D5). They are sailing towards a third consecutive top-flight appearance as they start this round 15 points above the relegation zone.

They can expect another good outing here, having won their last two home head-to-heads. They are also one of just two sides (alongside Inter) who have beaten the Partenopei at least twice in the last two Serie A seasons.

Napoli will care little about their history in this fixture, though, as they are on a six-game winning run where they have scored at least two goals in each game.

The visitors put one foot in the Champions League quarter-final by winning 2-0 at Frankfurt on Tuesday, while their 2-0 win over Sassuolo kept them 15 points ahead of second-placed Inter in the Serie A standings.

Although they are the league’s top scorers, they have also become tighter at the back, especially recently away from home, where they have kept five consecutive clean in their last five away games.

So the best prediction will be a direct win for Napoli. Click here to get 100 Percent winning tips.

Torino vs Cremenose: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

Torino will welcome Cremonese to Stadio Olimpico di Torino this Monday for the 23rd round of the 2022/23 Serie A season.

Torino come into this tie on the back of a narrow 1-0 loss to AC Milan away from home. However, a quick glance at the table might indicate that Torino is on the verge of breaking into Serie A’s top six.

However, they also start this round nine points adrift of sixth place. So, they still have a long way to go to achieve their aim. Ahead of this tie, they will fancy their chances of registering a sixth straight successive Serie A win against newly-promoted opposition for the first time since 1950.

Cremonese offers the perfect opportunity for Torino to record a win here as they are still looking for their first league win after 22 rounds of Serie A matches (D8, L14). The visitors are the only side in Europe’s ‘Big Five’ leagues without a win this season.

Only two sides in Serie A history have ever failed to notch a win after 23 games, with both those teams predictably going on to finish bottom of the table, a record which makes grim reading for Cremonese fans.

But having won both Napoli and Roma in the Coppa Italia recently, they will still fancy their chances of getting a win in the league. They could do so against an inconsistent Torino side that has recorded just two wins from their last eight league matches (D4, L2).

Meanwhile, Torino is the only SA side not to have scored or conceded in the opening 15 minutes of a home league game this season, so we might not see an early goal in this game. But we can expect a low-scoring affair that will feature Under 2.5 goals.

Inter Milan vs Udinese: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

Inter Milan will welcome Udinese to San Siro this Saturday for the 23rd round of the 2022/23 Serie A season.

The hosts will look to bounce back from their disappointing draw in the last round when they host Udinese. Despite firing 25+ shots, they failed to score against Sampdoria last Monday.

The result was just the third time in Serie A across the last ten seasons they had that many shots without scoring. They are now 15 points adrift of league leaders Napoli and will see the title as an impossible task.

After keeping two clean sheets in their last two games, the hosts are closing on a third consecutive league clean sheet for the first time since December 2021. They will fancy their chances of doing that and winning here as they have won ten of their last eleven league games at the San Siro (L1).

Udinese failed to capitalise on scoring a goal after just 25 seconds in their last game against Sassuolo, eventually drawing the game 2-2. They are still within the top half (eighth place) but are on a terrible run of form, having won just once in their last 15 games in all competitions (D8, L6).

Having beaten Inter 3-1 in the reverse fixture, they will be confident of improving their dreadful form here. However, the visitors have seen their last three away games (W1, L2) end with a 1-0 scoreline, so we expect a low-scoring game of under 2.5 goals.

Sassuolo vs Napoli: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

Napoli will continue their quest for the Scudetto on Friday when they visit Mapei Stadium to face Sassuolo.

The hosts overcame conceding the fastest goal in Serie A goal of the season (25 seconds) to record a 2-2 draw with Udinese last time out. The draw stretched their unbeaten run to four matches (W2, D2), their joint-longest unbeaten run this term.

The goal will be to extend that run in this game. However, doing that against runaway league leaders Napoli will be a challenging task considering that they’ve won just one of the last 15 competitive H2Hs (D6, L8), which includes two heavy defeats by a combined 10-1 scoreline across the previous two such meetings.

Napoli will be confident of getting another win here–their seventh consecutive Serie A win. The league leaders extended their lead at the top of the Serie A table to 15 points thanks to a 3-0 win over Cremenose last time.

They have now secured 59 points after 22 rounds, a record which has only been bettered in the three points for a win era by Juventus and Inter Milan, who had 60 points at this stage.

The visitors have won each of their eight Serie A matches against sides currently sitting 15th or below. Seven of those victories came by two or more goals, and having scored 2+ goals in each of their last six league games, the correct score prediction for this game will be a Napoli win with over 2.5 goals scored.

Sampdoria vs Inter Milan: Preview and Expert Football Prediction

Inter Milan will travel to Stadio Luigi Ferraris this Monday to take on Sampdoria in the 22 round of the 2022/23 Serie A season.

Sampdoria ended a five-match losing streak in all competitions last time against Monza, although they were denied victory in the 2-2 courtesy of a stoppage-time penalty.

Dejan Stanković’s relegation-threatened side are at serious risk of dropping out of the top flight for the first time in 12 years after collecting just ten points from 21 games (W2, ad4, L15). As it stands, no side have recorded more losses than the 15 they have, and no side has scored fewer than the ten goals they have scored this season.

These stats give them a small chance of coming out of the relegation zone or winning this fixture.

Given that they haven’t scored in six straight top-flight home games for the first time since March 1976 (L6), another goalless defeat here is possible.

Inter Milan will look to ensure that happens as it would see Sampdoria break a new record, as it would mark three consecutive Serie A matches against the visitors without scoring for the first time since 1950, having lost the last two by 3-0.

The visitors come into this tie in solid form, as the Nerazzurri have kept three clean sheets across their last six league games. Simone Inzaghi’sInzaghi’s men will travel to Genoa confidently, having won the Derby della Madonnina last matchday to ensure they’ll spend another week in the top four regardless of the result here.

Given these numbers, the best prediction for this game is a straight win for Inter Milan. For the best sure-win prediction today, click here.
