Serie A Matchday 13 preview & top betting picks

Serie A 2024-25 resumes after a two-week international break, with a mouthwatering encounter between AC Milan and Juventus headlining the action. Here are our free soccer betting predictions for this weekend’s matches in Italy’s top division.

Hellas Verona v Inter Milan

Saturday, November 23 – 3pm CET – Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi

Forced to settle for a 1-1 draw with leaders Napoli last time out, fourth-placed Internazionale will be looking to bounce back against Verona, who are in the bottom half of the table. Hakan Calhanoglu has scored twice in his last two outings, and online bookmakers are paying +250 for the Turkish midfielder to strike again for the Serie A champions.

AC Milan v Juventus

Saturday, November 23 – 6pm CET – Giuseppe Meazza Stadium

Hosts Milan will be hoping to trim their six-point gap with sixth-placed Juventus, who are one position ahead of them. Rafael Leao has scored three goals in his last three games for both club and country, and top soccer betting sites are offering decent odds of +333 for the Portuguese forward to score at any time against Juve.

Parma v Atalanta

Saturday, November 23 – 8:45pm CET – Stadio Ennio Tardini

Second-placed Atalanta look set to further their title credentials against 13th-placed Parma, who have only won one of their last 10 games. Mateo Retegui leads the goalscoring charts with 11 goals, and the 25-year-old could inspire Atalanta to their seventh consecutive league win.

Genoa v Cagliari

Sunday, November 24 – 12:30pm CET – Luigi Ferraris Stadium

Both with 10 points, Genoa are 17th on the table while Cagliari are one position higher due to a superior goal difference. Given their defensive and offensive struggles, a draw is highly probable.

Como v Fiorentina

Sunday, November 24 – 3pm CET – Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia

Among the standout performers of the campaign thus far, third-placed Fiorentina will be keen on strengthening their title hopes against 15th-placed Como, who are winless in their last six games. Moise Kean netted a hat-trick in his last outing, and leading bookie Bovada is paying +200 for the Italian in the anytime goalscorer market.

Torino v AS Monza

Sunday, November 24 – 3pm CET – Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino

Torino are 11th on the table with 14 points, while Monza are second from bottom with eight points. Triumphant in their last meeting, back the hosts to hand Monza a fourth consecutive league defeat.

Napoli v AS Roma

Sunday, November 24 – 6pm CET – Diego Armando Maradona Stadium

After dropping five points in their last two games, league leaders Napoli will be eager to address their momentary decline when they host Roma, who sit 12th. Unbeaten in their last six home games against the Giallorossi, expect the trend to continue.

Lazio v Bologna

Sunday, November 24 – 8:45pm CET – Stadio Olimpico

Lazio are fifth in the Serie A standings with 25 points, while Bologna are three places behind them with seven fewer points. Both teams are enjoying a decent run, so expect a closely contested affair at the Olympic Stadium, with the hosts eventually securing a hard-fought win.

Empoli v Udinese

Monday, November 25 – 6:30pm CET – Stadio Carlo Castellani

Udinese are ninth on the table with 16 points, while hosts Empoli are one point shy in 10th. These two sides shared the spoils last term, and could do so once again.

Venezia v Lecce

Monday, November 25 – 8:45pm CET – Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo

Lecce, sitting 18th, will be hoping to claw themselves out of the danger zone with a positive result against bottom-placed Venezia. Both sides are, however, struggling this season and this match could play out a draw.
