Serie A stats and tips

Fiorentina v Napoli - Double Chance - home win or draw

What a dismal succession of results for Napoli and their faithful followers, with their last Serie A win now coming 5 games ago. Boss F. Calzona needs to find a solution, and sooner rather than later. Will Fiorentina at Artemio Franchi on Friday provide some relief?

Lecce v Atalanta - Double Chance - away win or draw

Gian Piero Gasperini and his Atalanta troops have gained a useful habit of taking something from pretty much every Serie A match they play. They're unbeaten in 5 in Serie A now, so L. Gotti and his Lecce charges will need to be on top of their game if they're to get the win at Via Del Mare on Saturday.

Torino v Milan - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under

Low scoring games aren't always tedious affairs, but fans of Torino have had lots of chances to test that theory this season. 26 of their side's games in Serie A have finished with under 2.5 goals so far - the most in the competition. Will Stefano Pioli and his Milan team be capable of adding some goals into this match on Saturday? Or will it be same old same old?

Sassuolo v Cagliari - Double Chance - home win or draw

Following your favourite footy team year after year can be hard going, and Cagliari’s hardy follows know that feeling especially well at the moment. Their team, led by C. Ranieri, is now winless in their previous 5 Serie A matches, and few will be expecting them to end that run against Sassuolo at MAPEI Stadium - Città del Tricol on Sunday morning. Backing opposition manager D. Ballardini to add to their misery by inspiring his team to either a win or draw is available at top odds of 1.36.

Monza v Frosinone - Double Chance - away win or draw

What a miserable succession of results for AC Monza and their supporters, with their last Serie A success now coming 7 matches ago. Boss R. Palladino has to find a remedy, and preferably right away. Will Frosinone at Stadio Brianteo on Sunday provide some relief?

Udinese v Empoli - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under

Empoli have taken part in some low-scoring games in Serie A of late. There have been under 2.5 goals in all of Davide Nicola's side's last 5 outings and, with Gabriele Cioffi and his Udinese ahead on Sunday afternoon, their attackers may well need to put in some additional work in the build-up.

Inter v Lazio - Win / Draw / Win - home win

There is more support for the home win than any other bet, as Inter Milan and Lazio clash in Serie A on Sunday. No less than 7 have backed it already, with top odds of 1.67 proving to be enticing enough for many.

Roma v Genoa - Both Teams To Score - yes

Roma followers have become used to action at each end when their team plays in Serie A, with both sides having scored at least one goal in every one of their last 5 outings. Genoa on Sunday evening should be another thriller.

Salernitana v Verona - Double Chance - away win or draw

Trekking across the width and breadth of the country to support your club can be a thankless task, and Sportiva Salernitana’s dogged old follows know that feeling especially well right now. Their club, led by S. Colantuono, is now winless in their previous 18 Serie A matches, and there will be little hope they can end that run against Verona at Stadio Arechi on Monday evening. Backing opposition boss Marco Baroni to add to their misery by leading his lads to a positive result can be bet on at best odds of 1.20.

Bologna v Juventus - Double Chance - home win or draw

It has been a dreadful run of results for Juventus and their fans, with their last Serie A win now coming 5 games ago. Boss Massimiliano Allegri needs to find a solution, and preferably right away. Will Bologna at Renato Dall'Ara on Monday be the one in which they turn it around?
