Today’s Serie A betting tips & predictions
Cagliari vs. Como (2pm)
Como's sensational season continues in full swing with two more wins in the last few rounds, which have lifted the team to 5th place, just three points behind the top four.
Cagliari are not in ideal form and have not won in four games, but they can feel comfortable in the middle of the table. Even if they lose, it is unlikely to be fatal, while Como cannot afford any mistakes against teams in the bottom half of the table.
More impressively, Como are the third-highest scoring team in the league and play their best football away from home. With four wins by at least two goals in their last five away games, we are going to back them again.

Atalanta vs. Udinese (5pm)
Atalanta have the opportunity to enter the top 6 for the first time this season, but they may decide to save their strength for the upcoming Champions League clash.
Udinese continue to be inconsistent, with the team having no chance of achieving anything more than a finish in the upper half of the table.
If Atalanta were away, we would bet against them, but at home, they are phenomenal with five consecutive wins. They have scored at least two goals in each of those victories, and we expect more of the same.

Juventus vs. Pisa (7:45pm)
Juventus played their best game in the last month against Roma, although they failed to win again. Now they have a real chance to get back to winning ways, which they must not miss.
Pisa are headed for Serie B and have not won since early November. Interestingly, they rarely lose as visitors, with seven draws in their last 10 away games.
However, it should be noted that Juventus have never lost to Pisa in Serie A, and despite their poor form, another mistake would be fatal to their top-four ambitions.
