Serie A stats and tips
Torino v Bologna - Double Chance - away win or draw
Thiago Motta and his Bologna side have gained a handy way of claiming something from almost every Serie A game they play. They're unbeaten in 6 in Serie A now, so Ivan Juric and his Torino charges will have to be at their best if they're to get the win at Olimpico Grande Torino on Friday.
Monza v Lazio - Over / Under 3.5 Goals - under
Lazio travel to AC Monza for this Saturday evening fixture. 5 of KickOff's bettors think it will end up with under 3.5 goals. That could mean anything from a nil-nil to a thrilling, end-to-end 2-1 win for one side or another. It does rule out a true goalfest though.
Sassuolo v Inter - Win / Draw / Win - away win
The stattos of this world may tell us that away wins aren't so common, but KickOff's ever-growing group of football tipsters are fully expecting one as Simone Inzaghi and his Inter Milan XI rock up to MAPEI Stadium - Città del Tricol on Saturday evening. 46 of those bettors are predicting that D. Ballardini's Sassuolo will have to endure defeat with their own fans watching on. If that one comes in we'll have some very happy punters indeed!
Cagliari v Lecce - Over / Under 4.5 Goals - under
It's not exactly common to be treated to a 5+ goal thriller, but Lecce's long-suffering fans have now waited 11 matches to watch their club deliver one. That’s too long by anyone’s count. Will the long-overdue deluge of goals finally arrive on Sunday morning, as they face C. Ranieri's Cagliari at Sardegna Arena? With odds of 1.07 on there being under 4.5 goals, the bookies certainly don’t think so.
Empoli v Frosinone - Double Chance - away win or draw
We all dream of our club suddenly becoming invincible, and for some fans that dream comes true. It has been weeks since Frosinone’s joyous followers watched their team get beaten in Serie A. E. Di Francesco’s men are now unbeaten in 5 matches, and he will be telling them that they can extend that run against Empoli at Carlo Castellani on Sunday afternoon. Best value odds of 1.57 are available to back Frosinone the double chance market.
Verona v Fiorentina - Double Chance - away win or draw
Verona have consistently struggled against Fiorentina in the Serie A in recent years. The two sides have clashed on 8 occasions since 2020, and Fiorentina have remained unbeaten in them all. Sunday's game at Marcantonio Bentegodi could be another hard one for Marco Baroni & co.
Milan v Genoa - Win / Draw / Win - home win
As we all know, Milan's dedicated fans expect high standards from their team and, in the opinion of our tipsters, they may not be disappointed on Sunday evening. 7 of those bettors are predicting that Stefano Pioli's side will claim victory as A. Gilardino's Genoa visit Giuseppe Meazza. Will that prove to be a smart call? We'll find out at FT.
Roma v Juventus - Over / Under 4.5 Goals - under
Juventus's recent outings in Serie A have delivered decent entertainment, and a fair amount of goals, but it has been a while since Massimiliano Allegri's players provided their supporters with a ding-dong battle with goals galore. There have been no more than 4 goals in every one of their last 8 games.
Salernitana v Atalanta - Over / Under 3.5 Goals - under
Atalanta travel to Sportiva Salernitana for this Monday evening fixture. 5 of KickOff's members expect it will end up with fewer than 4 goals. That could mean anything from a 0-0 to an exciting, end-to-end 2-1 win for one side or another. It does rule out a true humdinger though.
Udinese v Napoli - Double Chance - away win or draw
Supporting your team home and away can be a tough old business, and Udinese’s hardy follows know that feeling especially well at the moment. Their team, led by Gabriele Cioffi, has now failed to win any of their last 6 Serie A matches, and there will be little hope they can end that run against Napoli at Dacia Arena on Monday evening. Backing opposition manager F. Calzona to add another to that list by leading his team to anything other than a defeat is available at best odds of 1.29.
