Inter Milan will welcome Parma, who love scoring against the big guns, while league leaders Napoli will host Lazio this weekend.
This week’s Serie A gameweek 15 predictions were made based on current form, expert knowledge, and data.
Serie A 2024/25 Gameweek 15 Predictions: 06/12 - 09/12
Inter Milan and Parma to delight fans with goals: Inter Milan vs Parma
- Date: 06/12/2024
- Kick-off: 18:30
- Parma are fond of scoring against the big teams, and they may be able to get one against Inter Milan.
Inter Milan averaged 3.46 goals per game in 13 Serie A matches, while Parma averaged 3.0 goals per game in 14 league matches. Because matches involving either team commonly produce at least three goals, we anticipate this encounter to follow suit.
Inter Milan vs Parma prediction 06/12/2024: Over 2.5 goals
Atalanta to continue their winning form against AC Milan: Atalanta vs AC Milan
- Date: 06/12/2024
- Kick-off: 20:45
- AC Milan may be unbeaten in their last four league matches, but Atalanta would be too strong for them.
AC Milan are undefeated in their last four league matches (2W, 2D), but they are increasingly likely to fall short in the upcoming game against Atalanta because the hosts are in superb form, smashing every team they come across. Atalanta won their last eight matches in all competitions, including Monday’s 2-0 win at AS Roma. Given their current form, they are likely to get all three points off the Red and Blacks.
Atalanta vs AC Milan prediction 06/12/2024: Home team to win
Genoa and Torino to struggle in the final third: Genoa vs Torino
- Date: 07/12/2024
- Kick-off: 15:00
- Torino and Genoa struggle in the final third, and we expect them to repeat the same when they meet.
Genoa and Torino may average 2.64 and 2.57 goals per game, respectively, but both teams have two of the worst attacks in Serie A, and when two teams that struggle to score goals meet, such matches are expected to be uneventful. The hosts scored 13 goals in 14 games, while the visitors scored 16 goals in 14 games. They rarely score more than one goal per game, which suggests this tie may lack goals.
Genoa vs Torino prediction 07/12/2024: Under 2.5 goals
Juventus to avoid defeat and less than four goals to be scored in Turin: Juventus vs Bologna
- Date: 07/12/2024
- Kick-off: 18:00
- Juventus are unbeaten in the league this term, and they are likely to remain that way in a low-scoring game against Bologna.
Juventus have the best defense in the country and haven’t lost a Serie A game this term. Bologna aren’t the side to hand them their first league defeat or play free-flowing attacking football in Turin. Juve rarely scores more than two goals, so we can at least anticipate a low-scoring match at the Allianz Arena.
Juventus vs Bologna prediction 07/12/2024: Home team to win or draw & under 3.5 goals
AS Roma to avoid defeat to Lecce despite four league defeats in a row: AS Roma vs Lecce
- Date: 07/12/2024
- Kick-off: 20:45
- Roma and Lecce are in poor form, but we expect the hosts to avoid defeat in front of their fans.
AS Roma lost their last four Serie A matches, including Monday’s 2-0 home loss to Atalanta, but they are likely to put a halt to their losing run against struggling Lecce at home because their attack is twice as strong as the visitors, which is a good sign to expect good football from the Rome team.
AS Roma vs Lecce prediction 07/12/2024: Home team to win or draw
Fiorentina to continue their maintain their momentum: Fiorentina vs Cagliari
- Date: 08/12/2024
- Kick-off: 12:30
- Last weekend’s postponed game against Inter Milan means Fiorentina’s winning run remains intact, and Cagliari won’t stop it.
Cagliari are in poor form, having won only just once in their last six Serie A matches, unlike Fiorentina, who won their last seven league matches. Fiorentina are so dominant at home, and hosting a team with only three wins in 14 matches suggests they are likely to extend their winning run.
Fiorentina vs Cagliari prediction 08/12/2024: Home team to win
Verona and Empoli to struggle to create many goalscoring chances: Hellas Veron vs Empoli
- Date: 08/12/2024
- Kick-off: 15:00
- Hellas Verona and Empoli struggle to score goals, and matches involving either team rarely produce many goals.
Hellas Verona may average 3.57 goals per game, but this encounter may end with less than three goals because the visitors have a good defense and a poor attack, which explains why they averaged 1.71 goals per game. Both teams are not decent goalscoring teams; hence it is fair to expect less than three goals.
Verona vs Empoli prediction 08/12/2024: Under 2.5 goals
Venezia and Como to exchange goals: Venezia vs Como
- Date: 08/12/2024
- Kick-off: 19:00
- Venezia and Como may be struggling, but they have the quality to exchange goals.
Como averaged 1.0 goals scored per game in 14 league matches, having scored 14 goals and conceded 26 goals, while Venezia scored 11 goals and conceded 20+ goals in 14 games. Como can get on the scoreboard, and Venezia are eager to give their fans something to cheer about, and scoring goals against Como can lift the mood of the home supporters.
Venezia vs Como prediction 08/12/2024: Both teams to score - yes
Napoli to remain at the top of the standings with a win: Napoli vs Lazio
- Date: 08/12/2024
- Kick-off: 20:45
- Both Napoli and Lazio are in fine form, but the Naples’ defense is likely to make the difference.
Good defense wins a team the league title, and that’s what Napoli are currently doing. They have the second-best defense in the country, having only conceded 9 goals in 14 league games. Lazio are decent going forward, but at the back, not so well, having conceded 17 goals. The Neapolitans are dangerous at home, having lost only once, and Lazio aren’t the team to hand them the second league home loss.
Napoli vs Lazio prediction 08/12/2024: Home team to win
Udinese to avoid a defeat in Lombardy: Monza vs Udinese
- Date: 09/12/2024
- Kick-off: 20:45
- Both teams are currently in poor form, but Udinese are clear with five wins in 14 games.
Monza sit in the bottom three of the Serie A standings with only one win in 14 league matches. They host a struggling team in Udinese in Lombardy, but they are unlikely to turn their rancid form around. There may be doubts over Udinese winning this game, but there won’t be many questions about them avoiding a defeat.
Monza vs Udinese prediction 09/12/2024: Away team to win or draw
