Round 22 of the Italian Serie A kicks off on Saturday the 27th of January! Find out who our football expert is backing.
Juventus and Napoli are neck and neck, with neither side willing to give an inch. Napoli looks stronger this season, challenging to break the dominance of the legendary Old Lady. With 17 rounds remaining, the battle for the coveted Scudetto is wide open and exciting. But for now, let’s zoom in on the action for matchday 22, featuring eight thrilling clashes.
Saturday 27 January
Sassuolo 49/20 | Draw 23/10 | Atalanta 23/20 (19:00)
The weekend kicks off with Sassuolo hosting Atalanta. Sassuolo struggles at home with just two wins in ten games and haven’t tasted victory in their last three outings.
Atalanta, despite a narrow 1-0 loss to Napoli last weekend, has impressed on the road with three straight wins. Our tip? Back the away side to clinch those vital three points.
Chievo 15/2 | Draw 15/4 | Juventus 7/20 (21:45)
Chievo hasn’t won in seven matches, experiencing five defeats and two draws. Juventus trails Napoli by a single point but is riding high on a five-game winning streak, eager to maintain momentum.
The Old Lady dominates recent head-to-heads with a four-match winning streak, scoring 11 goals to just one conceded. Betting tip: Juventus for the Half-Time/Full-Time Double Chance at 9/10 looks solid.
Sunday 28 January
SPAL 4/1 | Draw 29/10 | Inter Milan 13/20 (13:30)
SPAL currently sits 18th with no wins in four games. Inter Milan is enduring a tough patch with six winless outings but managed a gritty 1-1 draw with Roma at San Siro.
Though challenging to predict, Inter Milan’s comfortable 2-0 win over SPAL earlier this season suggests backing the Nerazzurri to secure victory.
Genoa 12/10 | Draw 43/20 | Udinese 49/20 (16:00)
Genoa’s four-game unbeaten run ended with a 1-0 loss to Juventus recently. They’ll look to bounce back strongly at home.
Udinese boasts a six-game unbeaten streak but has ended the last two matches in draws. Genoa’s home advantage and recent wins make them the favourites here.
Torino 9/20 | Draw 34/10 | Benevento 11/2 (16:00)
Torino remain unbeaten in their last four matches but have drawn three times. Benevento are at the foot of the table with ten straight away losses, a weak attack, and leaky defence.
Backing Torino on the (-1) Handicap at 23/20 should pay off well.
Napoli 1/5 | Draw 57/10 | Bologna 25/2 (16:00)
Napoli hosts Bologna with a brilliant five-match winning run, netting ten goals and conceding only thrice. They’ve won nine out of 11 home games and are strong favourites.
Bologna recently ended a poor streak with a 3-0 home win but has struggled on the road.
Napoli for the Half-Time/Full-Time Double Chance at 11/20 is the smart bet.
Crotone 27/20 | Draw 21/10 | Cagliari 22/10 (16:00)
Crotone impressed last time with a 3-0 win over Hellas Verona, ending a three-match losing streak. Cagliari has been poor, losing four of their last five.
With both sides underwhelming in attack, the Under 2.5 Goals market at 11/20 looks promising.
Fiorentina 1/4 | Draw 47/10 | Hellas Verona 19/2 (16:00)
Fiorentina is eager to rebound after a 3-1 defeat against Sampdoria. Hellas Verona has been dreadful, losing four straight and conceding heavily.
Fiorentina’s commanding 5-0 win in the reverse fixture gives confidence to back a home victory.
AC Milan 14/10 | Draw 23/10 | Lazio 39/20 (19:00)
AC Milan returns on the up after consecutive wins, including a 2-1 victory at Cagliari. Lazio has also been impressive recently, aiming for Champions League qualification.
Expect a lively, attacking showdown. Back Both Teams to Score at 6/10.
Roma 4/10 | Draw 39/10 | Sampdoria 6/1 (21:45)
Roma and Sampdoria face off twice within days, with a catch-up game on Wednesday 24th January. It’s tricky to call based on form.
However, recent meetings have been goal-fests, with at least three goals per match.
Bet on Over 2.5 Goals at 5/10.
