Serie A 2024/2025 Predictions: Gameweek 20
How will Lazio react when they host struggling Como in Rome following last weekend’s embarrassing 2-0 defeat in the Rome Derby against AS Roma? Lazio have been inconsistent in recent weeks, but they can bounce back to winning ways on Friday against Como, who are fighting against relegation.
This weekend, Torino will host the undefeated Juventus, while Venezia and Inter Milan will face off on Sunday afternoon. League leaders Napoli will welcome struggling Hellas Verona, as Udinese and Atalanta will test their might in Venezia.
This week’s Serie A gameweek 20 predictions were based on data, current form, and expert knowledge.
Serie A 2024/225 Gameweek 20 Predictions: 10/01/25 - 13/01/25
Lazio to bounce back to winning ways: Lazio vs Como
- Date: 10/01/2025
- Kick-off: 20:45
- Lazio may be inconsistent lately, but they have the quality to get back to winning games against Como.
After last weekend’s 2-0 defeat to AS Roma on the road, Lazio will look to get back to winning ways this week when they host struggling Como. Despite winning two of their last five league matches, the visitors are too inconsistent to pose a threat in Rome.
Lazio vs Como prediction 10/01/2025: Home team to win
Empoli to win in at least one half: Empoli vs Lecce
- Date: 11/01/2025
- Kick-off: 15:00
- Lecce’s defense is as bad as their attack, having conceded 31 goals and scored only 11 goals in 19 league matches, which suggests they may get outscored in at least one half against Empoli.
Empoli may not have one of the finest forms in Serie A, but their decent attack and defense can see them edge Lecce to a tight victory. While the hosts have what it takes to get the win off Lecce, we think backing them to win in at least one half is a reasonable pick.
Empoli vs Lecce prediction 11/01/2025: Home team to win either half - yes
Atalanta to win in at least one half: Udinese vs Atalanta
- Date: 11/01/2025
- Kick-off: 15:00
- Udinese are in decent form, which suggests they may make it hard for Atalanta to control the game.
Atalanta are pushing for the Serie A title, and they cannot afford to drop points against a team as inconsistent as Udinese. Nonetheless, we decided against betting on them to get a straight win over the hosts, even though it looks likely. A win in either half for the visitors looks reasonable.
Udinese vs Atalanta prediction 11/01/2025: Away team to win either half - yes
Torino and Juventus to struggle in the final third: Torino vs Juventus
- Date: 11/01/2025
- Kick-off: 18:00
- Both teams rarely concede goals, and as a result, fans should anticipate a low-scoring goal in Torino.
Although Juventus averaged 2.50 goals per game in 18 Serie A matches, this encounter is unlikely to produce three or more goals because Torino don’t score and concede many goals per game, as they are averaging 2.26 goals per game.
Torino vs Juventus prediction 11/01/2025: Under 2.5 goals
AC Milan to extend their unbeaten league run to four matches: AC Milan vs Cagliari
- Date: 11/01/2025
- Kick-off: 20:45
- Cagliari may have ended their losing spree last time out with a win over Monza, but they are increasingly likely to return to their losing ways in Milan.
AC Milan are unbeaten in their last three league matches, as they continue to push for a place in the top four. Cagliari are in poor form, having lost four of their last five league matches, to say the least. Both teams are not in similar form, so we anticipate total dominance from the hosts.
AC Milan vs Cagliari prediction 11/01/2025: Home team to win
Genoa and Parma to exchange goals: Genoa vs Parma
- Date: 12/01/2025
- Kick-off: 12:30
- Parma are fond of scoring goals, but they struggle to keep clean sheets in the process, which suggests both teams are likely to exchange goals.
Genoa may have scored only 16 goals in 19 matches, but they will likely get on the scoreboard against Parma because the visitors conceded 34 goals in 19 league matches. Parma do not struggle in the attacking third, as they already have 25 goals, and coming up against a Genoa side that conceded 27 goals already gives rise to ideas that both teams may get on the scoreboard.
Genoa vs Parma prediction 12/01/2025: Both teams to score - yes
Inter Milan to maintain their winning momentum: Venezia vs Inter Milan
- Date: 12/01/2025
- Kick-off: 15:00
- Venezia may have lost just once in their last five matches, but they are expected to fall short against Inter Milan.
How will Inter Milan react against Venezia after their shock 3-2 defeat to AC Milan in the Supercoppa Italia? Inter led 2-0 at one stage in the game but conceded three late goals to lose the final. Thanks to their excellent form, the only way they can quickly forget the defeat is to beat Venezia, who are struggling in the relegation zone. They can also close in on Napoli and Atalanta at the top of the standings.
Venezia vs Inter Milan prediction 12/01/2025: Away team to win
Bologna and AS Roma to struggle in the final third: Bologna vs AS Roma
- Date: 12/01/2025
- Kick-off: 18:00
- Matches involving either team struggle to produce three or more goals, and we expect the upcoming game to follow suit.
Bologna averaged 2.70 goals in 17 Serie A matches, while AS Roma averaged 2.63 goals per game. Matches involving either team struggle to get past over 2.5 goals, which suggests this encounter may go on to end with less than three goals, thanks to Roma’s last game that ended in a 2-0 home win over a good goalscoring side like Lazio.
Bologna vs AS Roma prediction 12/01/2025: Under 2.5 goals
Napoli and Hellas Verona to display their attacking mastery: Napoli vs Verona
- Date: 12/01/2025
- Kick-off: 20:45
- Hellas Verona may still be around the relegation zone, but they rarely finish a game without scoring at least one goal, which suggests the upcoming encounter may produce goals.
Napoli may have a good defense, but there are ideas that they may not keep a clean sheet against Hellas Verona because the visitors have scored over 20 league goals this term already. The Naples are the favorites to win this game, which suggests three or more goals may be scored in the upcoming encounter.
Napoli vs Hellas Verona prediction 12/01/2025: Over 2.5 goals
Fiorentina to finally get back to winning ways: Monza vs Fiorentina
- Date: 13/01/2025
- Kick-off: 20:45
- Monza are in dire form and have no chance of causing any upset against Fiorentina in front of their fans.
Monza are the favorites to be relegated to Serie B this year, thanks to their rancid form. They won just once in their last 19 league matches, which explains why they sit at the bottom of the Serie A standings with 10 points. Although Fiorentina has been winless in their last four league matches, they are expected to get back to winning on Monday night against Monza because they have better players in every position on the pitch.
Monza vs Fiorentina prediction 13/01/2025: Away team to win
