Serie A Betting Preview

There are 10 Serie A fixtures this weekend, with all matches taking place from Saturday, 29 November, to Monday, 1 December. Football tipster Ben Smith has shared his best bets and predictions for each game.

Como vs Sassuolo

Como have impressed this season and last week’s 5-1 win at Torino has pushed their campaign forward.

Cesc Fabregas’ side sit sixth in the table and are priced as comfortable favourites against Sassuolo, who are steady in mid-table.

The visitors have been effective away from home, scoring in all but one trip and producing a stunning 3-0 win at Atalanta recently.

With both teams carrying confidence, both teams to score looks a sensible option.

Parma vs Udinese

Parma have been ordinary at home thus far, winning only one in six. Udinese, meanwhile, were on top for long spells against Bologna last week but wasted chances and paid for it in a 3-0 defeat.

Kosta Runjaic’s side have taken some heavy losses against stronger teams, although they remain unbeaten against bottom-half opposition. With that record in mind, Udinese look capable of at least avoiding defeat.

Genoa vs Verona

Genoa matches have opened up since Daniele De Rossi took charge. A 2-2 draw with Fiorentina was followed by a 3-3 at Cagliari, where Genoa led twice but needed an 83rd-minute goal to earn a point.

They played on the front foot again last week and this home meeting with Verona looks an ideal chance to kickstart the new manager’s reign.

Verona are winless, have scored only twice away from home, and Genoa could easily have been priced shorter.

Juventus vs Cagliari

Jonathan David’s stoppage-time strike gave Juventus a crucial Champions League win in midweek and kept their hopes of progressing alive.

It was a chaotic match, which contrasts sharply with most of their Serie A fixtures. All but two of their league games have finished under 3.5 goals. One of the exceptions featured two penalties, while the other was the wild contest with Inter where the final scoreline was far above the underlying xG.

Cagliari’s matches against top-half sides have all gone under 3.5, and while Juventus should have too much here, there is little reason to expect a wide-margin result.

Betting Tip: Juventus to Win & Under 3.5 Goals - 10/11 Betway

Milan vs Lazio

Milan’s 1-0 win over Inter last week strengthened their case as genuine title contenders, and the Lazio test will provide another useful benchmark.

Lazio have lost only once in their last eight, with that defeat coming against Inter.

Milan have already beaten Roma, Napoli, and Bologna, yet it is their slip-ups against lower-ranked teams that leave them sitting behind Roma after 12 matches.

While Lazio rarely get blown away, they have scored in just one away game this season and were beaten to nil at Inter, Como, and Sassuolo. Another difficult night at San Siro looks entirely possible.

Betting Tip: Milan to Win & Under 4.5 Goals - 7/8 Betway

Lecce vs Torino

This is hardly the standout fixture of the weekend. Lecce’s last three home matches have produced a single goal in total, while Torino have drawn their past two away games 0-0.

The goals line is understandably low and the draw is priced short, so it makes sense to keep that on side, but if one team look capable of edging it, it is Torino.

Their 5-1 loss to an excellent Como side has led to a slight market overreaction, and I am comfortable backing the visitors at the current prices.

Pisa vs Inter

Inter’s derby defeat to Milan clearly lingered into midweek as their perfect Champions League record was ended by Atletico Madrid, who beat them 2-1.

They will need full focus at Pisa, where matches at the Arena Garibaldi have been tight all season. Three have been decided by a single goal and the rest have finished 0-0.

Inter’s three league wins on the road have all landed under four goals, so combining an Inter victory with under 3.5 looks a fair even-money play.

Atalanta vs Fiorentina

Paolo Vanoli has steadied what looked like a sinking Fiorentina ship since arriving earlier this month, taking a good point at Genoa before an even better draw at home to Juventus.

Atalanta have also made a change in the dugout, with Raffaele Palladino earning his first win as head coach in the Champions League away at Eintracht Frankfurt on Wednesday.

With both teams showing an uptick in chances and goals under their new managers, over 2.5 goals looks a decent angle.

Roma vs Napoli

Roma have responded well to the defeat against Milan earlier this month, beating Udinese and Cremonese since. The concern remains that they have already lost to both Milan clubs this season, which raises fair questions about how they measure up against the other title contenders.

Napoli also carry doubts, having already suffered three away defeats in Serie A. Both teams to score has landed in only one Roma home match and just two Napoli away games, so opposing BTTS looks the sensible call in a game neither can afford to lose.

Betting Tip: BTTS No - 10/13 QuickBet

Bologna vs Cremonese

Bologna have seven wins from 12 in Serie A and are firmly in the hunt for European places. They have won the second half in each of those victories, five of which required a strong finish after going in level at half-time.

Cremonese have lost the second half in both of their away defeats, which adds further weight to the angle. I am happy to side with Bologna to win the second period.
