Serie A is back with an exciting lineup for Saturday’s matches. In this article, we’ll delve into our predictions for these thrilling encounters.
Salernitana vs. Napoli (Saturday, 2.00pm)
In Serie A’s gameweek 11, winless Salernitana faces the defending champions Napoli at Stadio Arechi. Salernitana, currently at the bottom of the table, suffered a 1-0 defeat against Genoa in their previous game.
On the other hand, Napoli fought back from 2-0 down to secure a draw against Milan in Naples.
- Prediction: Salernitana 1-3 Napoli
Despite Salernitana’s potential to add to their goal tally, Napoli’s strength should prove too much for the struggling side at the Arechi. An away win is on the cards.
Atalanta vs. Inter Milan (Saturday, 5.00pm)
Inter Milan, aiming to maintain their position at the top of Serie A, will face regional rivals Atalanta BC on Saturday evening.
They also seek their fourth consecutive win.
Last season, these Lombardy clubs had high-scoring meetings, but this season, both teams have excelled in keeping a tight defense.
- Prediction: Atalanta BC 0-1 Inter Milan
Inter and Atalanta lead the clean sheet statistics in Europe’s top five leagues this season, with seven each.
This match may be a cagey affair, but Inter’s formidable attacking lineup should help them break through Atalanta’s defense and secure their ninth win in 11 league games.
AC Milan vs. Udinese (Saturday, 7.45pm)
AC Milan, who recently slipped from the top spot to third place in Serie A, aims to return to the winning column on Saturday evening as they host Udinese at San Siro.
Milan had faced consecutive losses before playing out an exciting draw with Napoli last weekend.
Meanwhile, Udinese is yet to secure a league victory this season and also exited the Coppa Italia in midweek.
- Prediction: AC Milan 2-0 Udinese
While Milan has suffered defeats against top teams this season, they have a strong track record against Serie A’s bottom four.
Winning 18 times in their last 25 games against such teams, Milan rarely struggles against Italy’s lesser lights. Therefore, an ailing Udinese side is expected to face defeat.
