Serie A soccer tips, betting predictions & odds | Matchday 23
Matchday 23 of the 2024-25 Serie A campaign features a host of exciting matches, headlined by the highly anticipated Milan derby. Here are our free soccer betting picks for this week’s matchups in Italy’s top division.
Parma v Lecce
Saturday, February 1 – 6:45am AEDT – Stadio Ennio Tardini
Parma are 16th on the Serie A table, while Lecce are level on points but sitting in the danger zone due to their inferior goal difference. Unbeaten in their last four encounters, the Crusaders are expected to prevail on home soil.
Parma to win
AC Monza v Hellas Verona
Sunday, February 2 – 1am AEDT – Stadio Brianteo
Verona dropped to 17th after a four-game winless run, while Monza remain at the foot of the Serie A table with just two wins from 22 games. Both teams seem vulnerable at the moment and could end up sharing the points.
Draw
Udinese v Venezia
Sunday, February 2 – 1am AEDT – Stadio Friuli
Winless in their last five games, 11th-placed Udinese will be keen to get back on track against Venezia, who are second from bottom after winning just one of their last 12 games. Backed by their home crowd, the hosts should claim a third victory in four encounters.
Udinese to win
Atalanta v Torino
Sunday, February 2 – 4am AEDT – Gewiss Stadium
After ending their four-game winless run with victory over Como in Matchday 22, third-placed Atalanta will be keen on strengthening their position in the title race when they take on Torino, in 10th. Mateo Retegui leads the Golden Boot race with 18 goals, and online bookmakers are paying +125 for the Atalanta forward to add to his goal tally.
Mateo Retegui anytime goalscorer
Bologna v Como
Sunday, February 2 – 6:45am AEDT – Stadio Renato Dall’Ara
Bologna are eighth with 34 points, while Como are five places below them with 12 fewer points. Although their last meeting ended in a draw, newly promoted Como could face an uphill battle against their experienced hosts.
Bologna to win
Juventus v Empoli
Sunday, February 2 – 10:30pm AEDT – Juventus Stadium
Juventus, in fifth, will be looking to climb higher up the table against Empoli, who are 14th after a seven-game winless run. Dusan Vlahovic, with 12 goals across the board, is a strong contender to find the back of the net in this encounter.
Dusan Vlahovic anytime goalscorer
Fiorentina v Genoa
Monday, February 3 – 1am AEDT – Stadio Artemio Franchi
After ending their six-game winless run with a 2-1 victory over Lazio, sixth-placed Fiorentina will be optimistic ahead of their clash with Genoa, who are six places below them. Given that six of their last seven meetings have ended in a stalemate, another draw could be on the cards.
Draw
AC Milan v Inter Milan
Monday, February 3 – 4am AEDT – Giuseppe Meazza Stadium
Fresh from their midweek Champions League win over AS Monaco, second-placed Internazionale will aim to capitalise on their momentum when they face bitter rivals AC Milan on Sunday. Lautaro Martinez bagged a hat-trick on Thursday morning, and the Inter captain offers good value in the anytime goalscorer market.
Lautaro Martinez anytime goalscorer
AS Roma v Napoli
Monday, February 3 – 6:45am AEDT – Stadio Olimpico
League leaders Napoli will be seeking to secure an eighth consecutive league win when they take on Roma, who are ninth after back-to-back victories against Genoa and Udinese. Romelu Lukaku struck the winner against both Atalanta and Juventus, and top bookie Marantelli Bet is paying +200 for the former Manchester United striker to continue with his impressive form.
Romelu Lukaku anytime goalscorer
Cagliari v Lazio
Tuesday, February 4 – 6:45am AEDT – Sardegna Arena
After losing to Fiorentina last Sunday, fourth-placed Lazio will aim to dispatch Cagliari, who are dangerously close to the drop zone. Unbeaten in their last 11 meetings, with 10 wins and a draw, back Lazio to defeat the Islanders for the second time this season.
Lazio to win
