This weekend in Serie A promises exhilarating encounters as the new season kicks into high gear. Let’s dive into our expert predictions for some of the key matches, including the thrilling clash between AC Milan and Torino.
Frosinone vs. Atalanta (Saturday, 5.30pm)
Newcomers Frosinone go head-to-head against Atalanta BC in a highly-anticipated showdown at Stadio Benito Stirpe.
Frosinone, the winners of last year’s Serie B, suffered a defeat to reigning champions Napoli in their opening fixture. On the other hand, Atalanta emerged victorious against Sassuolo at the Mapei Stadium.
Our prediction: Frosinone 1-4 Atalanta BC
With their formidable starting lineup and strong bench options, Atalanta is likely to overpower Frosinone and secure a comfortable victory.
Our tipster partners are also foreseeing a match with less than 3.5 goals.
Monza vs. Empoli (Saturday, 5.30pm)
Monza and Empoli are both eager to grab their first points of the season as they clash at the U-Power Stadium.
While Monza faced defeat against Inter Milan, last season’s Champions League finalists, Empoli suffered a narrow 1-0 loss on their own turf to Hellas Verona.
Our prediction: Monza 2-1 Empoli
This encounter promises to be a closely contested battle. However, the home advantage and Monza’s previous success against Empoli could tilt the outcome slightly in their favor.
Our tipster partners are also predicting a game with under 3.5 goals.
Hellas Verona vs. Roma (Saturday, 7.45pm)
Roma, who salvaged a draw last week, aim to secure their first Serie A win this season as they visit Hellas Verona at Stadio Bentegodi.
While Roma required a late equalizer in their home opener, Hellas Verona got off to a winning start with maximum points.
Our prediction: Hellas Verona 0-1 Roma
Despite Roma’s inconsistent away form, they have the advantage of welcoming back key players and facing a Verona side that might struggle for survival.
We anticipate a hard-fought match with Roma coming out on top by a single goal, with Verona’s attacking threat neutralized.
Our tipster partners expect over 1.5 goals in this game.
AC Milan vs. Torino (Saturday, 7.45pm)
AC Milan, fresh off a confident victory over Bologna, welcome Torino to San Siro for their first home game of the season.
Torino, on the other hand, had to settle for a draw against a newly-promoted team in their opening fixture.
Our prediction: AC Milan 1-0 Torino
Torino is notoriously tough to defeat, and they might fancy their chances of securing at least a point at San Siro.
However, their lack of firepower could haunt them once again, especially given Milan’s revamped attacking options and depth.
We anticipate a low-scoring affair, and our tipster partners also believe there will be over 1.5 goals scored.
