This coming Monday offers a surprisingly varied lineup of matches from Europe’s top five leagues, including two exciting Serie A showdowns.
Cremonese host Lazio in a crucial match for their survival, and later in the evening, we have a match featuring the other capital club, AS Roma, against Fiorentina, who have become extremely tough to beat.
Below, you’ll find our expert predictions for the two Serie A matches on Monday.
Today’s Serie A betting tips & predictions
Cremonese vs. Lazio (5:30pm)
Cremonese have four matches left to make up the four-point gap to Lecce, who won their early match on Friday. Lazio have almost nothing left to play for, as their best possible finish is seventh place.
On paper, Lazio have improved their form, but it’s too late to achieve anything in Serie A. The important thing, however, is that they’ve reached the Coppa Italia final, so they can secure a ticket to Europe if they win the cup. With the final just 10 days away, there’s no point in taking any risks.
Cremonese still have the same problems scoring goals, and it’s hard to expect any surprises. Lazio are the team that has conceded the fewest goals on the road this season, so we’re going with under 2.5.
Cremonese vs. Lazio top betting tip: Under 2.5 goals
AS Roma vs. Fiorentina (7:45pm)
Fiorentina are one win away from mathematically securing their place in Serie A, which is a huge achievement given the first half of the season. Roma, meanwhile, can still qualify for the Champions League, but they need to show a bit more consistency until the end.
Except for their loss to Crystal Palace in the UECL, Fiorentina haven’t lost a single game in their last 10 matches. Their defense is in much better form, but they certainly have room for improvement on offense.
Roma certainly have the advantage, but their inconsistency leads us to believe we’ll see at least one goal from both teams. That’s exactly what happened in four of their last five head-to-head matches.
