Serie A 2024/2025 Predictions: Gameweek 13

Will Inter Milan return to winning ways when they play against Hellas Verona away from home? Inter shared the spoils (1-1) against Napoli before the international break, but they are the favourites to get the maximum points off Verona.

AC Milan and Juventus will clash in San Siro, while Parma hosts in-form Atalanta. This week’s Serie A matchday 13 predictions are based on current form, data, and expert knowledge.

Our Predictions for Serie A Matchday 13

Inter Milan to return to winning ways in style: Hellas Verona vs Inter Milan

• Date: 23/11/2024
• Kick-off: 15:00
• Hellas Verona are not in the best shape to expect anything positive from the reigning champions of Italy, Inter Milan.

Verona clearly do not have what it takes to cause fright against Inter Milan, as they abysmally lost four of their last five league games. Inter may be the guests, but having only lost once in 11 games, they are anticipated to take all three points.

Hellas Verona vs Inter Milan: Inter Milan to win

Juventus and AC Milan to exchange goals in San Siro: AC Milan vs Juventus

• Date: 23/11/2024
• Kick-off: 18:00
• Juventus and AC Milan find it easy to get on the scoreboard, and we expect goals on both ends.

Juventus may have one of the best defenses in the country, but keeping a clean sheet in San Siro against AC Milan, who scored 20 goals in 12 games, looks like a stretch. Both teams have scored 20+ goals in Serie A this term, and just as we witnessed an eight-goal thriller between Inter and Juventus, we can at least expect both teams to exchange goals. 

AC Milan vs Juventus prediction: Both teams to score—yes

Atalanta to continue their winning spree: Parma vs Atalanta

• Date: 23/11/2024
• Kick-off: 20:45
• Parma are in rollercoaster form, with only one win in their last five league games. They have little to no chance against one of the most in-form teams in Italy, Atalanta.

Atalanta won six Serie A matches in a spin, and they will eye to make it seven wins out of seven, knowing that a win over Parma can take them to the top of the standings with 28 points. Gian Piero Gasperini is expected to field a strong team, although there are concerns about Ademola Lookman’s fitness after the Nigerian received a knock during Nigeria’s win over Benin.

Parma vs Atalanta prediction: Away team to win

Genoa and Cagliari to display drab football and struggle in the final third: Genoa vs Cagliari

• Date: 24/11/2024
• Kick-off: 12:30
• Genoa and Cagliari do not have one of the best attacks in Serie A, and it is relatively normal to anticipate a low-scoring football in Liguria.

Genoa and Cagliari conceded 22 goals each after 12 league matches, but their attacks are among the worst in the country. The hosts scored 9 goals in 12 games, while the visitors scored three more. Their goal average may be over 2.5 goals per game, but their poor attack is likely to make this a low-scoring match. 

Genoa vs Cagliari prediction: Under 2.5 goals

Fiorentina to breeze past struggling Como in Lombardy: Como vs Fiorentina

• Date: 24/11/2024
• Kick-off: 15:00
• Como are winless in their last five league matches, and their current form doesn’t suggest they can get anything off Fiorentina, who are touted as the most in-form team in the country.

Como are in abysmal form, having failed to register a win in their last six matches. They may be winless in their last few games, but their defense improved over time, as they conceded over 1.5 goals only once in their last five league games. However, this wouldn’t help them against Fiorentina because the visitors are net bursters, having scored 25 goals in 12 games. The hosts may have some goalscoring moments, but can they beat David de Gea twice? 

Como vs Fiorentina prediction: Away team to win

Monza and Torino are too unstable to produce high-intensity football: Torino vs Monza

• Date: 24/11/2024
• Kick-off: 15:00
• Matches involving either Monza or Torino do not produce many goals, and we do not expect this encounter to miraculously change that.

Torino’s attack is just a few meters above average, scoring 15 goals in 12 league games. They are unlikely to hit the net twice because the visitors have a decent backline, with only 15 goals conceded. Torino averaged 2.75 goals per game in 12 games, while Monza averaged 2.08 goals per match. The hosts barely beat the 2.5 goal margin, but we expect this encounter to fall under 2.5.

Torino vs Monza prediction: Under 2.5 goals

Napoli to finally return to winning ways against AS Roma in Naples: Napoli vs AS Roma

• Date: 24/11/2024
• Kick-off: 18:30
• Having failed to win in their last two league games, Napoli and Antonio Conte are expected to bounce back to winning ways against struggling AS Roma.

Napoli slowed down in the past few weeks. They succumbed to an embarrassing 3-0 home defeat to Atalanta, then they shared the spoils with Inter Milan on the road. However, they are increasingly likely to return to winning ways and maintain their top spot as they host Roma, who are going through a purple patch, having lost four of their last five league games.

Napoli vs AS Roma prediction: Home team to win

Lazio to outscore Bologna in either half: Lazio vs Bologna

• Date: 24/11/2024
• Kick-off: 20:45
• Bologna may have avoided a defeat in recent months, but they are likely to fall short in at least one half against Lazio, who are equally in fine form.

Lazio sit in 5th place, one point behind the league leaders, having won their last four league matches. They host Bologna , who are unbeaten in their last nine Serie A matches. This encounter will be rigid for both teams, but the hosts have a better attack, which we think can outperform the visitors in at least one half. Le Aquile won in either half of their last six games across all competitions. It is understandable to expect them to repeat the same in this encounter.

Lazio vs Bologna prediction: Home team to win either half—yes

Empoli and Udinese are too unstable to delight their fans with goals. Empoli vs Udinese

• Date: 25/11/2024
• Kick-off: 18:30
• Udinese and Empoli are in poor form, and normally teams struggling to get their tactics right rarely score many goals.

Udinese averaged 2.75 goals per game in 12 matches, as they scored 15 goals and conceded 18 goals. Empoli are way worse in this indicator, having scored only 9 goals and conceded 10 goals. It is far-fetched if we anticipate this encounter to produce three or more goals.

Empoli vs Udinese prediction: Under 2.5 goals

Lecce and Venezia’s struggle to act brave in the final third will continue: Venezia vs Lecce

• Date: 25/11/2024
• Kick-off: 20:45
• When two struggling teams meet, they most times struggle to score goals. Lecce and Venezia are in this bracket. We can expect them to struggle in front of goal.

Lecce won just once in their last 5 matches and won only twice in 12 league games, thanks to their horrifying attack—5 goals scored. Venezia sit at the bottom of the standings with 8 defeats in 12 matches, and surprisingly, their attack is twice as good as Lecce, with 11 goals scored. Despite this, we expect this encounter to lack goals, and there’s a chance the points will be shared.

Venezia vs Lecce prediction: Under 2.5 goals
