The transfer window’s closed, the squads are locked and loaded for the upcoming season, and football betting fans can now zero in on the exciting football to be had this season.
Juventus are still the juggernauts the rest of the pack has to chase, but there are clubs that pose a legitimate threat to the seemingly untouchable champions. Napoli and the two Milans can draw attractive betting odds with their fantastic starts to the season.
Let’s dilly-dally no longer and head straight to the games!
WEEK 3 SUNDAY:
Juventus vs Chievo
Juventus are on top of the window for a good reason, and they’ll likely show us why when they face Chievo. I Gialloblu may be doing well at the moment, but they probably don’t stand a chance against the Serie A giants.
Sampdoria vs Roma
Roma were knocked off their high horses after Inter Milan obliterated them to win 1-3 away. They may face an interesting challenge against Sampdoria, with their last game being a first-half shutout of Fiorentina. A risky gambler will believe in Sampdoria, but I think Roma have too much talent on their squad to lose. I’d recommend a bet on Roma’s -0.75 Asian Handicap for 2.14.
Inter Milan vs SPAL
SPAL are doing pretty well for their first few weeks of Serie A action. A draw with Lazio and a win against Udinese have most likely made Leonardo Semplici a happy man. However, I don’t think he can manoeuvre his team to win against Luciano Spalletti and Inter.
Atalanta vs Sassuolo
Both teams came out of the gates tripping on their own laces, so a win here could do a huge boon to their forms and confidence. Sassuolo especially need a boost after their 3-0 thrashing they experienced at the hands of Torino.
Cagliari vs Crotone
Supporters of Crotone don’t wish for another life-or-death struggle at the wrong end of the league table, so a win against Cagliari is a must for Davide Nicola’s lads. Their hosts endured a slew of defeats against Juventus and Inter, so now’s a good time for them to get three points.
Hellas Verona vs Fiorentina
Fiorentina’s frustrating end to their previous Serie A campaign seems to haunt them still at the start of the new season. Losses to Inter and Sampdoria are Stefano Pioli in hot water. They need to win against the recently promoted Verona in order to get things going.
With the amount of talent they have, the Viola have this game in the bag. Punters should make a bet for Fiorentina -0.50 @ 2.21.
Lazio vs AC Milan
The sleeping giants may have finally found their stride.
Under the guidance of new ownership and management, the Rossoneri made a lot of impressive signings. Keeping Gianluigi Donnarumma is also a great victory for them. Considering their form and moves in the past summer window, I find it hard not to cheer for the former European force to rediscover their winning ways and win against a very intimidating Lazio side.
This might be a close one, but I believe momentum is on Milan’s side. Take a risk and bet good money on Milan’s 2.79 1X2 odds.
Udinese vs Genoa
Both of these clubs aren’t so hot at the start of the season, and this match has a draw written all over it. However, Udinese comfortably won over Genoa the last time they met at Dacia Arena. A 3-0 game might happen again, but I’m not making any promises.
WEEK 3 MONDAY:
Benevento vs Torino
Benevento may have lost their first two games of the season, but those matches displayed a battling side neutrals will love. Fans can expect the minnows to exert the same level of effort against a strong Torino side.
Bologna vs Napoli
Bologna are doing okay in their first weeks of the season, but Napoli will fully test Roberto Donadoni’s transfer strategy during the window. Maurizio Sarri has the better players in almost every department, so it will be a challenge for Bologna to come away with the win at home.
