Serie A Matchday 36 preview, betting picks & top soccer odds

With three games to the close of the Serie A campaign, here are our free soccer betting picks and predictions for Matchday 36.

Frosinone vs Inter Milan

Friday, May 10 – 8:45pm CEST – Stadio Benito Stirpe

After suffering just their second defeat of the 2023/24 campaign, champions Inter Milan will be hoping to bounce back against Frosinone. With only one win from their last 14 matches, Frosinone may struggle against the newly crowned Serie A champions.

Napoli vs Bologna

Saturday, May 11 – 6pm CEST – Stadio Diego Armando Maradona

With three draws in their last four games, Napoli face a formidable challenge in Bologna, who are in pole position to secure Champions League football. However, Bologna have four draws from their last five games, while their last two trips to Naples have ended in stalemates.

AC Milan vs Cagliari

Saturday, May 11 – 8:45pm CEST – San Siro Stadium

Winless in their last six games, AC Milan are hoping to finish the campaign strongly despite conceding the title to city rivals Inter. Sitting three points above the relegation zone, Cagliari — who have one win from their last six games — may struggle against a Milan side that has won seven of the last eight meetings between these teams.

Lazio vs Empoli

Sunday, May 12 – 12:30pm CEST – Stadio Olimpico

A place above the drop zone, Empoli must build momentum to guarantee their survival. Unfortunately for the visitors, they will lock horns with a Lazio side with four wins in their last five outings. Lazio haven’t lost to Empoli in their last ten meetings, so expect the Eagles to cruise to victory.

Genoa vs Sassuolo

Sunday, May 12 – 3pm CEST – Stadio Luigi Ferraris

Having earned three crucial points last Saturday with their win over champions Inter, Sassuolo — second from bottom — are looking to build momentum to ensure their safety. Genoa, seven places above Sassuolo, have endured mixed form in recent weeks. With both sides scoring in their last five meetings, expect a close contest.

Verona vs Torino

Sunday, May 12 – 3pm CEST – Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi

Winless in their last five outings, Torino may struggle against Verona, who have two wins from their last five games. A low-scoring fixture in recent years, expect the trend to continue.

Juventus vs Salernitana

Sunday, May 12 – 6pm CEST – Allianz Stadium

With nothing to play for after being relegated to Serie B, Salernitana might struggle against Juventus, who look destined to finish third. Dusan Vlahovic, who has played a part in 20 goals for Juventus this season, has a great chance of scoring against the visitors for the second time this year.

Atalanta vs AS Roma

Sunday, May 12 – 8:45pm CEST – Gewiss Stadium

With Italy securing five Champions League places, the final spot may be decided when Atalanta host AS Roma. Level on points, albeit with Atalanta having a game in hand, expect this to be one fiery encounter.

Lecce vs Udinese

Monday, May 13 – 6:30pm CEST – Stadio Comunale Via del Mare

Udinese desperately need three points to claw their way out of the relegation zone. However, despite boasting twice as many victories in this fixture, the visitors are winless in their last eight games. Lecce, with three wins from their last eight, promise to offer stern opposition.

Fiorentina vs AC Monza

Monday, May 13 – 8:45pm CEST – Stadio Artemio Franchi

Given their Wednesday trip to Belgium for the second leg of their Europa Conference League semifinal, Fiorentina may be thinking beyond this league fixture. Although Monza are winless in their last six games, this could be an opportunity for them to pick up points on the road.
