Serie A 2024/2025 Predictions: Gameweek 23: 31/01 - 03/02
Napoli became the first team to beat Juventus in Serie A this term when they came from behind to defeat the Old Lady 2-1 in Naples, but can they make this achievement count this weekend when they face struggling AS Roma away?
Juventus will push to get back to winning ways after last weekend’s setback against Napoli when they host struggling Empoli, while Inter Milan and AC Milan will lock horns this weekend.
This week’s Serie A gameweek 23 predictions were based on current form, data and expert knowledge.
Serie A 2024/25 gameweek 23 predictions: 31/01/2025 - 03/02/2025
Parma to avoid a defeat at home: Parma vs Lecce
- Date: 31/01/2025
- Kick-off: 20:45
- Both teams have defensive issues, but Lecce’s blunt attack is expected to be their undoing against Parma.
Parma find it easy to get on the scoreboard regardless of the opponents, and with Lecce struggling to score goals, we think the hosts are in better form than the visitors to avoid a defeat in front of their fans.
Parma vs Lecce prediction: Home team to win or draw
Udinese and Venezia to struggle in the final third: Udinese vs Venezia
- Date: 01/02/2025
- Kick-off: 15:00
- Both teams rarely score two goals per game, and they are likely to struggle in the attacking half in the upcoming game.
Udinese may be in better form, but they struggle to score goals, and the same can be said about Venezia. Both teams are winless in their last five matches, which suggests this encounter will lack goals.
Udinese vs Venezia prediction: Under 2.5 goals
Monza and Verona to exchange goals: Monza vs Verona
- Date: 01/02/2025
- Kick-off: 15:00
- Verona and Monza have poor defensively, but because they are somewhat decent offensively, there’s a chance both teams will exchange goals.
Hellas Verona conceded 48 goals and scored 25 goals in 22 matches, while Monza scored 20 goals and conceded 33 goals in 22 games. The visitors may be better offensively, but because Monza play at home and usually play better in front of their fans, we think the visitors are unlikely to come away with a clean slate.
Monza vs Hellas Verona prediction: Both teams to score - yes
Atalanta to extend their winning momentum: Atalanta vs Torino
- Date: 01/02/2025
- Kick-off: 18:00
- Atalanta ended their winless run of four matches last weekend and they can build on it against Torino.
Atalanta remain in the Serie A title race, and a win over Torino will slash the points behind Napoli to four points. Torino will be a hard nut to crack, as they are unbeaten in their last five league matches, but the hosts have dominated these meetings in recent seasons. In their previous five league matches, the Blue and Black won three times and lost two. They lost the reverse fixture, which explains why Gian Piero Gasperini’s men are expected to take this game personally.
Atalanta vs Torino prediction: Home team to win
Bologna and Como to delight fans with goals: Bologna vs Como
- Date: 01/01/2025
- Kick-off: 20:45
- Both teams averaged over 2.5 goals per game, and there’s a chance the upcoming game may follow suit.
Bologna averaged 2.85 goals per game in 21 league matches, while Como averaged 2.86 goals per game in 22 league matches. Both teams have met three times in Serie A history, and two of these meetings ended with over 2.5 goals, including the reverse fixture that ended in a 2-2 draw. There’s a chance the upcoming game will not be short of goals.
Bologna vs Como prediction: Over 2.5 goals
Juventus to bounce back to winning ways: Juventus vs Empoli
- Date: 02/02/2025
- Kick-off: 12:30
- Juventus succumbed to their first league loss last weekend, and they have a chance to bounce back to winning ways against Empoli.
Juventus have dominated these meetings in recent years, having lost only two times in their last ten Serie A meetings with Empoli. The visitors are in poor form, having won only four of their last 22 league matches, while the hosts are unbeaten at home in the league this term. Both teams may have endured mixed results in recent weeks, but we expect the hosts to dominate this game once again.
Juventus vs Empoli prediction: Home team to win
Fiorentina and Genoa to exchange goals: Fiorentina vs Genoa
- Date: 02/02/2025
- Kick-off: 15:00
- Genoa are in better form, and there’s a chance they can get on the scoreboard against struggling Fiorentina.
Genoa and Fiorentina scored against each other in six of their last eight Serie A meetings. Fiorentina are struggling to get back to top form, while Genoa already have three wins in their last five league games. Based on their current form and their head-to-head meetings, there is a decent chance both clubs will exchange goals.
Genoa vs Fiorentina prediction: Both teams to score - yes
AC Milan and Inter Milan to exchange goals: AC Milan vs Inter Milan
- Date: 02/02/2025
- Kick-off: 18:00
- Both teams have exchanged goals in most of their recent Serie A meetings, and the upcoming game may follow suit.
AC Milan and Inter Milan exchanged goals in five of their last six Serie A matches, including the reverse fixture that ended in a 2-1 win for AC Milan. Goals are usually scored in these meetings, and because both teams have been scoring goals lately, there’s no reason not to expect at least one goal from each end.
AC Milan vs Inter Milan prediction: Both teams to score - yes
Napoli to secure a challenging win in Rome: AS Roma vs Napoli
- Date: 02/02/2025
- Kick-off: 20:45
- Napoli are not only challenging for the Serie A title, but they have also dominated these meetings in recent seasons.
Napoli are pushing for the Serie A title, and they made a big statement last weekend when they ended Juventus’ 21-match unbeaten run. Roma have struggled to maintain consistency this term, and because the Naples won three of their last five meetings with the Romans, there’s a chance the visitors will secure all three points.
AS Roma vs Napoli prediction: Away team to win
Cagliari and Lazio to delight fans with goals: Cagliari vs Lazio
- Date: 03/02/2025
- Kick-off: 20:45
- Matches involving both teams usually end with three or more goals, and there’s a chance the upcoming game will follow suit.
Cagliari and Lazio are fond of delighting their fans with goals when they cross paths, and their current form this term suggests the upcoming game will end similarly. Four of their last five Serie A matches ended with over 2.5 goals, and it is unwise to expect this Monday fixture to end differently.
