Things have become tight in the Serie A title race with a handful of teams piling on some great form.
It looks like being a wide-open battle for the scudetto this season, with reigning champions Inter Milan back at the head of the market.
Best Serie A outright winner odds
Inter Milan – 10/11
Despite sitting third in the table, Inter Milan are still the favourites to clinch the Serie A title this season, with bookies pricing them at 10/11.
A 3-1 home victory over Parma saw them make it two wins from the last two in the league, having drawn 1-1 with Napoli on 10th November. Goals from Federico Dimarco, Nicolo Barella and Marcus Thuram were enough to see them get past Il Crociati.
Inter still sit three points off top spot, with Atalanta currently in front, with 34 points from 15 games. With a further 23 fixtures to be played, however, there is still ample opportunity for Simone Inzaghi’s men to stage a comeback.
However, with their price at 10/11 going into the festive schedule, they do not offer great value for punters currently.
Atalanta – 3/1
Current league leaders Atalanta demonstrated their intentions at the weekend by defeating AC Milan 2-1, helped by a goal from their former attacking midfielder Charles De Ketalaere.
La Dea have now won 11 of their opening 15 fixtures, netting a staggering 38 times in the process.
Possibly more impressive, however, is that almost all of their winless matches came at the start of the season, as the club is currently enjoying a nine-game winning run, which has seen them surge to the top of the table.
At 3/1, Atalanta are an excellent choice for punters. Bookies do not see them as the favourites in spite of their strong form, so bettors should back them before odds shorten.
Napoli – 9/2
Third favourites Napoli are priced as 9/2 outsiders by bookies, despite sitting only two points off top spot.
Having only conceded 10 goals so far, Gli Azzurri have been rock solid at the back, leading to their early season rise up the Serie A table.
However, a 3-1 defeat to Lazio saw them drop off at the weekend, as they succumbed to a Tijjani Noslin hattrick.
Napoli still offer decent value for punters in the wake of their defeat, as 9/2 shows they are still well within reach of another Serie A title at the season’s closure.
Juventus – 10/1
Juventus have made it through to December without having lost a league match thanks to a phenomenal defensive effort. But they still look like a goal-shy team compared to most of the others in the title race. Whether they have the firepower up front to sustain a challenge is questionable, but they are in the mix, and a decent 7/1 shot in the ‘Without Inter' market if they can get the goals flowing.
AC Milan – 25/1
AC Milan have now faded a long way from the title picture, having shown some promise earlier in the season. Much like Juventus, AC Milan are lacking a goalscoring presence that would improve their chances. Head coach Paulo Fonseca now has a big job getting them anywhere near the title this season, and it is starting to seem as though the Rossoneri are a bit more than just a ‘work in progress'.
Who will win Serie A? Here’s our prediction
After five straight top-three finishes, Inter are still positioned as favourites for a title defence, which no team has managed since Juventus in 2020. But keep an eye on Napoli all the same, as there have been wholesale changes in Naples, and the newfound element of unpredictability they possess lends extra value to their 3/1 outright price.

Atalanta at 10/1 is a great bet. They battered napoli in there own back yard at the wkend.
