Today’s Serie A betting tips & predictions
Lecce vs. Monza (2pm)
Lecce got off to a good start in the first round and haven’t scored a goal since. Monza, on the other hand, have scored in every match, but haven’t even come close to a win yet.
Matches between these two sides are usually tough and evenly matched, and sometimes hard to watch, such as last season’s 0–0 draw.
Given their form so far, a similar result seems quite likely, though I’m anticipating a 1–1 draw. This is a difficult prediction, and it should only be considered for single bets.

Napoli vs. Bologna (5pm)
Napoli’s last such poor start to a season was a decade ago, whilst the defeat to Arsenal was their third in a row across all competitions. Bologna are in an even worse situation, still searching for their first win of the season.
It’s interesting to note that Bologna have been one of Napoli’s toughest opponents in recent seasons, having won three of their last five head-to-head matches in Serie A.
Nevertheless, I believe the home side haс the real quality, and it’s high time they proved it. I don’t expect many goals this time round, but I may be wrong, especially if Napoli get excited.

Sassuolo vs. Juventus (7:45pm)
To round off the weekend, we have a match between two teams who are in a difficult position due to numerous injuries, but have enjoyed strong starts to the season.
Sassuolo have been scoring a surprising number of goals, but the real test will come against Juventus, who have been impressive at the back. That said, in recent years we’ve seen some pretty spectacular encounters between them.
In my view, Sassuolo will create their chances, and it won’t be easy for Juventus to get the better of them. I’m seriously expecting a draw, but I won’t take any risks and will go for Both Teams to Score.
