There is a lot of action to look forward to in Matchday 37 of the Italian Serie A, with six teams fighting to avoid relegation. Below are our free soccer betting picks for this week’s games.
Fiorentina vs Napoli
Friday, May 17 – 8:45pm CEST – Stadio Artemio Franchi
Fiorentina, confident after advancing into the Europa Conference League final against Greek side Olympiacos, can secure a spot in next season’s competition with a win over Napoli. Even though the hosts lead Napoli by two points and have a game in hand, expect Napoli to be strong opponents.
Both teams to score
Lecce vs Atalanta
Saturday, May 18 – 6pm CEST – Stadio Comunale Via del Mare
Atalanta, who have a game in hand, will qualify for the Champions League should they win their three remaining games. On a fine run of four successive wins, the visitors should complete the season double over Lecce, who are winless in their last three matches.
Atlanta to win
Torino vs AC Milan
Saturday, May 18 – 8:45pm CEST – Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino
Milan have been on a downward spiral since losing the Scudetto to Internazionale. Given that both Torino and AC Milan have just one win from their last five games, expect little goalmouth action in this historically low-scoring fixture.
Under 2.5 goals
Sassuolo vs Cagliari
Sunday, May 19 – 12:30pm CEST – Stadio Citta del Tricolore
Sassuolo, second from bottom, could be condemned to the second division should they fail to win over relegation rivals Cagliari. With both teams managing only one win from their last eight games, expect a fierce end-to-end encounter, as each side battles against relegation.
Both teams to score
AC Monza vs Frosinone
Sunday, May 19 – 3pm CEST – U-Power Stadium
A place above the relegation zone thanks to a superior goal difference, Frosinone must avoid defeat against 12th-placed Monza to bolster their survival chances. That said, expect both teams to find the back of the net, much like in their last five meetings.
Both teams to score
Udinese vs Empoli
Sunday, May 19 – 3pm CEST – Bluenergy Stadium
Empoli, third from bottom, find themselves in a must-win scenario this weekend. Udinese, out of the relegation zone after registering their first win in two months, will be keen to avoid any slip-ups. With both teams cautious not to make any mistakes, anticipate the match to be decided by slim margins.
Not both teams to score
Inter Milan vs Lazio
Sunday, May 19 – 6pm CEST – San Siro Stadium
Expect an entertaining match when champions Inter play host to seventh-placed Lazio in a fixture that always delivers a goal-scoring spectacle. Keep an eye on Inter’s Marcus Thuram, who has scored thrice in his last five matches.
Marcus Thuram to score
AS Roma vs Genoa
Sunday, May 19 – 8:45pm CEST – Stadio Olimpico
After weeks of dropping points against stronger opponents, hosts Roma hope to win against Genoa, elevating their chances of securing European football. Meanwhile, Genoa, 11th on the table, have managed two wins from their last three games. Given their struggles with keeping clean sheets, anticipate each team to find a breakthrough.
Both teams to score
Salernitana vs Hellas Verona
Monday, May 20 – 6:30pm CEST – Stadio Arechi
Sitting two points above the drop zone, Verona are still in the midst of a heated relegation battle. As such, the visitors should bolster their survival hopes with a win over already-relegated Salernitana, who have yet to secure a win this year.
Verona to win
Bologna vs Juventus
Monday, May 20 – 8:45pm CEST – Stadio Renato Dall’Ara
Level on points, this mouthwatering clash will be pivotal in determining who will finish third on the table. Dusan Vlahovic, who has 16 league goals this season, should once against feature prominently for Juventus. On the scoresheet during the reverse fixture, expect the Serbian striker to find the back of the net this weekend.
