Frosinone v Salernitana - Win / Draw / Win - home win
KickOff's tipsters have a strong feeling about this match, and the evidence to back it up. On Friday, 11 have decided to bet on Frosinone to get the win versus Sportiva Salernitana at Matusa.

Lecce v Monza - Double Chance - home win or draw
AC Monza have found something of a bogey team in Lecce in the league in recent years. The two clubs have clashed on 5 occasions since 2021, and Lecce have gone unbeaten in them all. Saturday's game at Via Del Mare could be a really difficult one for R. Palladino & co.
Juventus v Milan - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - over
Milan's recent Serie A matches have been brimming with goalmouth excitement. Every one of their last 5 have had over 2.5 goals, and Saturday against Juventus may well be more of the same. Fans of both sides will be hoping that Stefano Pioli and Massimiliano Allegri send their lads out to attack.
Lazio v Verona - Over / Under 4.5 Goals - under
Common or not, every football fan loves to see a match in which 5 goals or more are scored, but Verona's hardy followers have now had to wait 19 matches to see their team take part in one. That’s too long by anyone’s count. Will the long-overdue deluge of goals finally arrive on Saturday evening, as they face Igor Tudor's Lazio at Stadio Olimpico? With odds of 1.10 on there being 4 goals or fewer being scored, the UK's leading bookmakers are making their thoughts on the matter perfectly clear.
Inter v Torino - Double Chance - home win or draw
Weeks have passed since Inter Milan’s merry fans watched their team lose in Serie A. Simone Inzaghi’s men are now unbeaten in 27 games, and he will be telling them that they can keep that streak running against Torino at Giuseppe Meazza on Sunday morning. Best value odds of 1.11 can be grabbed to back Inter Milan to either win or draw.
Bologna v Udinese - Double Chance - home win or draw
A satisfyingly long time has passed since Bologna’s happy fans watched their side get beaten in Serie A. Thiago Motta’s squad is now unbeaten in 5 outings, and he'll be hopeful that they can keep that streak running against Udinese at Renato Dall'Ara on Sunday afternoon. Best odds of 1.14 can be grabbed to back Bologna to avoid defeat yet again.
Atalanta v Empoli - Win / Draw / Win - home win
Empoli and their supporters could be forgiven for feeling apprehensive as they head to Atleti Azzurri d'Italia. Home victories occur more often than not in Serie A, and most would expect Atalanta and their coach Gian Piero Gasperini will deliver another one as they square up against Davide Nicola's charges on Sunday evening. 28 of KO's bettors have predicted that outcome, taking advantage of top odds of 1.44, and KO's algorithm places a 61.59% probability of them celebrating another win come full time.
Napoli v Roma - Both Teams To Score & Result - home
Roma will know that 1 goal may not be enough to come out on top against Napoli on Sunday evening. F. Calzona's side have the best record in Serie A when it comes to conceding yet still claiming victory (10 of their 33 matches), so keeping things tight might be the best course of action for D. De Rossi and his Roma team at San Paolo.
Fiorentina v Sassuolo - Double Chance - home win or draw
Being a football fan can be a tough old business, and Sassuolo’s dogged old follows know that better than most at the moment. Their side, led by D. Ballardini, has now failed to win any of their last 5 Serie A matches, and there will be little hope they can end that run against Fiorentina at Artemio Franchi on Sunday evening. Backing opposition manager Vincenzo Italiano to add another to that list by guiding his side to a positive result is available at best odds of 1.18.
