Standings provided by Sofascore LiveScore
Saturday 18 May
Udinese 6/10
Draw 31/10
SPAL 9/2
Udinese ended a winless run of five matches last time out with an impressive 3-1 victory away to Frosinone. SPAL, on the other hand, were defeat 2-1 on home soil against Napoli, suffering their first loss in four games.
The hosts are fighting for survival and should have much more to offer on Saturday. Nonetheless, SPAL have scored eight goals in their last two travels. Both Teams to Score – Yes – is tipped at 15/20.
Genoa 11/20
Draw 29/10
Cagliari 5/1
Relegation-threatened Genoa are without a win in their last eight games, including five losses and three draws. Cagliari have been dismal with three losses on the spin and they have managed just two wins from 18 travels.
The Rossoblu have won the last three meetings at home against Cagliari and will be desperate to build on that. It’s likely to be a cagey affair but Genoa are tipped to capitalize on home advantage.
Sassuolo 47/10
Draw 37/10
Roma 5/10
Sassuolo are off the back of a hard-fought 3-2 defeat to Torino and return to home soil where they are unbeaten in their last three matches. Roma were excellent last time out as they ousted Juventus 2-0 at the Stadio Olimpico.
That win would have given the Giallorossi plenty of confidence ahead of their final push for top four. Back Roma on the Matchbet & Both Teams to Score – Roma and Yes – at 29/20.
Sunday 19 May
Chievo 11/4
Draw 3/1
Sampdoria 17/20
Chievo are bottom of the standings with back-to-back defeats, conceding six goals without finding the back of the net. Sampdoria have been dismal in recent weeks with three losses from their last four games.
The Blucerchiati are guaranteed to finish in ninth place, while their opponents are a certainty to finish at the foot of the table. A lack of goals is expected, so get on the Under 2.5 Goals market at 17/10.
Parma 21/10
Draw 22/10
Fiorentina 27/20
Both Parma and Fiorentina are not out of the woods just yet in terms of relegation. The hosts are without a win in their last nine games, while the Viola are winless in their last 14 games in all competitions, including five straight defeats.
A tight affair is on the cards but Parma have shown enough strength on their grounds to collect maximum points. The home win is tipped.
Empoli 33/20
Draw 24/10
Torino 31/20
Empoli have made some good ground in recent weeks with two wins on the bounce. They will be looking to build on that moment and with three wins from their last four games, I don’t see why they can’t.
Torino, however, are unbeaten in their last eight matches and won’t go down without a fight. Take Both Teams to Score – Yes – at 13/20.
AC Milan 1/6
Draw 13/2
Frosinone 15/1
AC Milan have been impressive of late with back-to-back wins and will be eager to keep that form up. Frosinone have been dismal all season and will face the consequences with relegation to Serie B. They have scored just 15 goals in 18 travels which shows just how bad they have been.
The Rossoneri are still in with a chance for top four and should make easy work of Frosinone. Back AC Milan to Score in Both Halves at 13/20.
Juventus 14/10
Draw 21/10
Atalanta 21/10
Since being re-crowned as champions of Italy, Juventus have gone on a winless run of three matches, including a 2-0 defeat at Roma last time out. However, they remain undefeated on their ground this season and will be looking to keep that record intact with their final home game of the season.
Atalanta are unbeaten in their last 13 matches in all competitions, including five wins on the spin. This one will go down to the wire but the Old Lady are tipped to get the job done with home advantage.
Napoli 15/10
Draw 5/2
Inter Milan 17/10
Napoli are a shoo-in for runner-up this season, while Inter Milan need at least one win to guarantee Champions League football. The Azzurri have won three games on the spin and will be hoping to add to that on Sunday evening.
The Nerazzurri are unbeaten in their last seven matches and should keep things tight until the opportunity presents itself. The last four meetings between these sides have produced just two goals. Get on the Under 2.5 Goals market at 11/10.
Monday 20 April
Lazio 19/20
Draw 5/2
Bologna 29/10
Lazio have been inconsistent in recent weeks to say the least. They have suffered consecutive defeats at home and will be looking to turn that form around. Bologna have won three of their last four matches but have registered just two victories from 18 games on the road.
A high-scoring affair looks very much likely. With that being said, I suggest getting on the Totals – Over 2.5 Goals – market at 7/10.
LAST WEEK’S QUAD WON @ 56/10
Atalanta Win 4/10
Torino Win 11/20
Bologna Win 15/20
