Serie A outright winner odds and prediction: The defending champions not the main favourites

After an exciting and tight title race in the Serie A last season, Napoli have won their second title in the last three years, while Inter Milan, who were favoured to win this race, faltered at the finish line.

Despite this, Napoli are not the top favourite to win the Scudetto next season, although they are among the main favourites. With that in mind, let's take a closer look at the Serie A outright winner odds.

Best Serie A outright winner odds

Selections to watch

Inter Milan

Inter's 2024-25 season was like a rollercoaster that goes up and up, only to drop down hard. At one point, they were in contention to win a triple crown, but they ended up empty-handed in all competitions—losing the Serie A title to Napoli by one point, the Coppa Italia semi-final to AC Milan, and the Champions League to PSG.

They enter the next season once again as the main favourites to win Serie A, ahead of the reigning champions Napoli, but will they be able to match their performance of last season and avoid the same mistakes?

Napoli

The Parthenopeans have won their second title in three years and their fourth title overall, but it was a hard-fought battle until the end. Luckily for Napoli, Inter had a few bad results in the final third of the season, while Napoli found their best form at the right time and in the end claimed the title by one point.

Despite that, Napoli are behind Inter Milan when it comes to the odds for winning Serie A next season, but they won't mind that too much. After all, chances weren't on their side last season either, but that didn't stop them from lifting the trophy in the end.

AC Milan

Rossoneri finished last season in eighth place in the standings, far below their quality and expectations. Despite this, they are the third favourite to win the league next season and we do agree with the bookies that they will have a chance.

First of all, the quality is there and AC Milan will certainly reinforce the team during the summer transfer window. Secondly, AC Milan won't play in Europe next season, so their full focus will be on Serie A and that could prove to be a big advantage over other candidates for the title.

Atalanta

La Dea had the pleasure of leading the league at one point last season, but they went into a serious crisis in February and March, after which they fell too far behind Inter and Napoli. During this time they were also eliminated from the Champions League by Club Brugge, which was a hard shock to recover from.

Nevertheless, Atalanta finished third in the final Serie A standings and they are a great team, always near the top in the league, at least in the last decade. The bookies doubt they can break through and finally win the Scudetto, but next season could prove to be the one when they finally lift the trophy.

Who will win Serie A? Here’s our prediction

Inter Milan led the race for the title last season and it seemed like they will run away with it, but a few slipups in the final stretch of the season cost them the Scudetto, with Napoli finishing at the top by one point. It seemed that the Neroazzuri couldn't keep up the pace at multiple fronts and in the end, they failed to win any trophies.

That being said, Inter are our pick to win the title in the Italian top flight next season. They have enough quality and now they have added experience. After all, we've seen many times that teams learn from failure and come out stronger next time around.

Meanwhile, if the odds on Inter Milan winning Serie A don't entice you, we suggest backing up Atalanta to win. At 18/1 odds, Atalanta seem to be quite underestimated by the bookies. After all, they were also in the lead last season for a while and they did finish third in the standings. They also have the league's top scorer from last season in the squad, Mateo Retegui, so they seem like the obvious value pick.
