Serie A 2024/2025 Predictions: Gameweek 19

Will Napoli go top of the Serie A standings after their encounter with Fiorentina this weekend? Both teams have had some impressive results this term, so we expect this encounter to produce many noteworthy moments in Florence. 

AS Roma will host Lazio in Rome on Sunday, as Monza and Cagliari will continue their relegation battle when they meet in Monza, Lombardy.

This week’s Serie A gameweek 19 predictions were made based on data, current form, and expert knowledge.

Serie A 2024/25 Gameweek 19 Predictions: 04/01 - 05/01

Venezia and Empoli to struggle to create many clear-cut chances: Venezia vs Empoli

• Date: 04/01/2025
• Kick-off: 15:00
• Both teams struggle to score goals, and we expect them to be poor in the final third.

Venezia may have conceded 31 goals in 18 league matches, but this encounter is likely to lack goals because Empoli are not fond of scoring many goals, just like the hosts. Given this data, we can anticipate at least less than three goals from this encounter.

Venezia vs Empoli prediction: Under 2.5 goals

Fiorentina and Napoli to exchange goals: Fiorentina vs Napoli

• Date: 04/01/2025
• Kick-off: 18:00
• Napoli may have one of the best defenses in Italy, but Fiorentina rarely go blank in home matches.

Fiorentina have one of the best attacks in Italy, having scored 31 goals in 17 league matches. Napoli may have a well-organised defense line, but they are unlikely to keep a clean sheet in Florence because the hosts are fond of scoring in almost every game. They scored twice against Juventus, so their chances of scoring against Napoli are high, although they have some questions about their defense. 

Fiorentina vs Napoli prediction 04/01/2025: Both teams to score - yes

Hellas Verona and Udinese to exchange goals: Hellas Verona vs Udinese

• Date: 04/01/2025
• Kick-off: 20:45
• Verona have been scoring goals lately, and we think they can continue this trend against Udinese.

Udinese scored 23 goals and conceded 28 goals in 18 league matches, while Verona scored 24 goals and conceded 42 goals in 18 league matches. Both teams won two of their last five league matches, which suggests they are in similar form. They are likely to exchange goals, and we agree with the odds.

Verona vs Udinese prediction 04/01/2025: Both teams to score - yes

Monza and Cagliari to struggle to create many clear-cut chances: Monza vs Cagliari

• Date: 05/01/2025
• Kick-off: 12:30
• Both teams rarely score goals, and we think they can struggle to create many goalscoring chances in the upcoming fixture.

Monza scored 16 goals in 18 Serie A matches, and the same can be said for Cagliari. Both teams have issues at the back, but their poor attack suggests neither team would be able to score two goals in this encounter. Given this data, we can confidently expect this encounter to lack goals.

Monza vs Cagliari prediction 05/01/2025: Under 2.5 goals

Lecce and Genoa to struggle in the attacking line: Lecce vs Genoa

• Date: 05/01/2025
• Kick-off: 15:00
• Both teams struggle to score goals, and we doubt this encounter will produce at least three goals.

Lecce scored 11 goals in 18 league matches, while Genoa scored 16 goals in 18 league matches. It’s clear both teams struggle to stand tall in the final third, which has led to several ideas that this encounter is likely to be dull and uneventful. Given both teams’ poor attack, we can safely anticipate a low-scoring game in Lecce this weekend.

Lecce vs Genoa prediction 05/01/2025: Under 2.5 goals

Torino and Parma to exchange goals: Torino vs Parma

• Date: 05/01/2025
• Kick-off: 18:00
• Torino may struggle to score goals regularly, but Parma rarely keep clean sheets. Both teams are likely to exchange goals.

Parma are fond of scoring goals, irrespective of the stadium or opponent. They scored against the finest Serie A outfits, including against Juventus and Inter Milan. Their chances of getting on the scoreboard are high as they conceded at least a goal against Torino, having conceded 34 goals in 18 league matches already.

Torino vs Parma prediction 05/01/2025: Both teams to score - yes

AS Roma and Lazio to display their attacking brilliance in Rome: AS Roma vs Lazio

• Date: 05/01/2025
• Kick-off: 20:45
• AS Roma are beginning to find their feet again, but they are unlikely to keep a clean slate against Lazio.

Lazio have one of the best attacks in the country, but their defense has some question marks, having conceded 25 goals in 18 matches. AS Roma scored 24 goals and conceded 24 goals in 18 matches, which suggests they are likely to score and concede at least one goal against Lazio.
