Today’s Serie A betting tips & predictions
Genoa vs. Napoli (5pm)
Genoa’s best run this season finally came to an end when they met Lazio last week. Their five-match unbeaten run helped them stay clear of the drop zone, and they are now six points above.
Napoli’s inconsistent domestic form has left them nine points behind Inter at the top, and they even struggled against relegation-threatened Fiorentina last week. Genoa have been one of the hardest teams to beat for the Partenopei in recent years, as Napoli won only two of the last five H2Hs.
Eight of their last 10 meetings featured goals from both sides. Given Napoli’s recent defensive struggles, BTTS is the best option on Saturday.
Genoa vs. Napoli top betting tip: Both teams to score
Fiorentina vs. Torino (7:45pm)
La Viola are a step away from safety – a point below Lecce, and with the seemingly easiest task this weekend out of all relegation-threatened sides.
The positive is that Fiorentina have been scoring more goals than usual. The negative – their defence remains leaky. But Torino lost four of their last five Serie A games, and don’t look like a team that has a clear direction.
This is a gamble, as all five most recent H2Hs finished with under 2.5 goals, but we anticipate an exciting exchange between two defenseless teams. Only two teams have conceded more away goals than Torino in Serie A this season. And we’ve seen glimpses of La Viola’s true potential lately.
Fiorentina vs. Torino top betting tip: Over 2.5 goals, Over 1.5 Fiorentina goals
