Serie A stats and tips
Napoli v Atalanta - Both Teams To Score - yes
Napoli fans have been spoilt with entertainment at each end when their team plays in Serie A, with both teams having scored in each of their last 6 outings. Atalanta on Saturday morning may well be another ding-dong battle.
Genoa v Frosinone - Double Chance - home win or draw
It has been a dismal run of results for Frosinone and their faithful followers, with their last Serie A success now coming 8 games ago. Boss E. Di Francesco simply must find a way out, and quickly. Will Genoa at Luigi Ferraris on Saturday be the one in which they turn it around?
Torino v Monza - Over / Under 2.5 Goals - under
Low scoring games aren't always boring, but fans of Torino have had lots of chances to test that theory this season. 21 of their side's games in Serie A have finished with under 2.5 goals so far - the most in the competition. Will R. Palladino and his AC Monza team be able to inject spice into this clash on Saturday? Or will it be more of the same?
Lazio v Juventus - Over / Under 5.5 Goals - under
Even their most bitter rivals would probably hope that Lazio's supporters would be gifted an all-out goal fest every now and then. That's what football's all about, after all. Sadly, however, they've now endured 67 games without witnessing more than 5 goals in a single game, and Igor Tudor and his team’s recent performances haven't hinted that that streak will ended as they face Juventus at Stadio Olimpico on Saturday evening. Odds of 1.02 on under 5.5 goals won’t entice many, but that’s because the bookmakers think this one's a sure thing.
Fiorentina v Milan - Over / Under 0.5 Goals - over
0-0s have been an incredibly rare occurrence in Milan's Serie A outings recently. Their last 38 have had over 0.5 goals, and Saturday evening's meeting with Vincenzo Italiano's Fiorentina really should deliver more of the same.
Bologna v Salernitana - Both Teams To Score - yes
When Bologna and Sportiva Salernitana have met in the Serie A, they've delivered proper entertainment. Both sides have scored in each of their last 5 matches against one another, so the Renato Dall'Ara crowd will be expecting another thriller on Monday morning.
Cagliari v Verona - Double Chance - away win or draw
Cagliari have consistently struggled against Verona in the Serie A in recent years. The two clubs have met on 8 occasions since 2018, and Verona have gone unbeaten in them all. Monday's game at Sardegna Arena could be another hard one for C. Ranieri & co.
Sassuolo v Udinese - Both Teams To Score - yes
When Sassuolo and Udinese have met in the Serie A, they've delivered proper entertainment. Both teams have scored in each of their last 5 meetings, so the MAPEI Stadium - Città del Tricol faithful will be expecting another nail-biter on Monday afternoon.
Lecce v Roma - Double Chance - away win or draw
D. De Rossi and his Roma team have found a handy way of claiming something from just about every Serie A fixture they play. They're unbeaten in 5 in Serie A now, so L. Gotti and his Lecce charges will have their work cut out if they're to get the win at Via Del Mare on Monday.
Inter v Empoli - Win / Draw / Win - home win
Bad form can be tough to shift, but that's the task facing Empoli boss Davide Nicola on Monday. His side face Inter Milan having failed to get anything but defeat out of their last 3 Serie A matches.
