Serie A 2024/2025 Predictions: Gameweek 12
Will Napoli bounce back to winning ways on gameweek 12 in Serie A following last weekend’s embarrassing 3-0 home defeat to Atalanta? It looks unlikely, as they will face the reigning champions of Italy, Inter Milan, away from home.
Meanwhile, Atalanta will look to continue their fine form when they host struggling Udinese, as Juventus host Torino in Turin. It is important to be aware that this week’s matchday 11 Serie A predictions are based on current form, data, and expert knowledge.
Our Predictions for Serie A Matchday 12
Como to put a stop to their losing run: Genoa vs Como
- Date: 07/11/2024
- Kick-off: 20:45 CET
- Como to avoid a defeat in their away game against struggling Genoa
Como may have lost three of their last five Serie A matches, but those defeats came against the top guns. Genoa lost four of their last five league games, and their recent form doesn’t suggest they are likely to win this game—only 1 win in 10 league games.
Genoa vs Como Prediction: Como to win or draw
Lecce’s and Empoli’s struggles in the final third to continue: Lecce vs Empoli
- Date: 08/11/2024
- Kick-off: 20:45 (CET)
- Lecce and Empoli may not produce at least three goals, thanks to their poor attack.
Lecce scored four goals and conceded 20 goals in 10 Serie A matches, while Empoli scored seven and conceded nine. There’s a pattern here. Lecce and Empoli are poor-scoring teams, and with the visitors better at the back, there’s a decent chance this game may end with under 2.5 goals.
Lecce vs Empoli Prediction: Under 2.5 goals
Venezia and Parma to display their attacking prowess: Venezia vs Parma
- Date: 09/11/2024
- Kick-off: 15:00 (CET)
- Venezia and Parma to exchange goals in Venezia.
Venezia may be in the bottom three of the Serie A standings, but scoring goals hasn’t been a huge issue. They were able to get on the scoresheet against Inter Milan, but VAR ruled out their effort. What are the chances they don't score at home against Parma? Venezia scored 10 and conceded 19 goals, while Parma scored 14 goals and conceded 16 goals in 10 league games.
Venezia vs Parma Prediction: Both teams to score - yes
AC Milan to hand struggling Cagliari another defeat: Cagliari vs AC Milan
- Date: 09/11/2024
- Kick-off: 18:00 (CET)
- AC Milan to extend underperforming Cagliari’s losing run to three matches
Cagliari won only two of their opening 10 league matches, so what are the chances they change that against AC Milan, who won three of their last five games? There’s a huge difference in form between both teams, and it will come down as a shock if Milan don’t win this encounter, irrespective of where the match is taking place.
Cagliari vs AC Milan Prediction: Away team to win
Juventus to continue their winning momentum this weekend: Juventus vs Torino
- Date: 09/11/2024
- Kick-off: 20:45 (CET)
- Juventus will aim to get all three points off struggling Torino
Juventus haven’t lost a league game this season, having won five and drawn six in 11 Serie A matches. Their current form suggests they are increasingly likely to get the win over Torino, who lost four of their last five league matches. The Old Lady hasn’t lost at home in the league this season.
Juventus vs Torino Prediction: Home team to win
Atalanta to dismantle Udinese in Lombardy: Atalanta vs Udinese
- Date: 10/11/2024
- Kick-off: 12:30 (CET)
- Atalanta to extend their winning run in Serie A to six matches against Udinese
Atalanta raised many eyebrows when they thrashed the league leaders, Napoli, 3-0 away from home on Sunday. Ademola Lookman scored a brace, while Retegui scored the final goal in injury time. Udinese will struggle to keep up with Atalanta’s pace, having lost three of their last five league matches.
Atalanta vs Udinese Prediction: Home team to win
Fiorentina to continue flying high: Fiorentina vs Verona
- Date: 10/11/2024
- Kick-off: 15:00
- Fiorentina to continue their winning run against Verona when they meet in Florence.
Verona travel to Florence in poor form, having lost three of their last five league matches. Their current form doesn’t give their fans enough confidence to hope for a positive result against Fiorentina, who are unbeaten in nine games across all competitions. The host won their last six games in a spin. You can understand why they are touted as favourites to win this encounter.
Fiorentina vs Verona Prediction: Home team to win
Roma and Bologna to deliver a cagey game: Roma vs Bologna
- Date: 10/11/2024
- Kick-off: 15:00
- Bologna and Roma are expected to produce less than three goals
Bologna are averaging 2.3 goals in 10 league matches, while Roma averaged more but still below three goals per game—2.36 goals in 11 league matches. Both teams struggle to score goals and don’t let many goals as well. Given this data, this match may likely end with less than four goals.
Roma vs Bologna Prediction: Under 3.5 goals
Monza and Lazio to entertain the fans with goals: Monza vs Lazio
- Date: 10/11/2024
- Kick-off: 18:00
- Lazio and Monza to entertain their fans with at least two goals
There’s a huge chance that this encounter will produce at least two goals. Lazio are averaging 3.5 goals per game in 11 matches, while Monza has at least two goals scored and conceded on average in 10 league matches. Given this data, it is relatively comfortable to anticipate at least two goals to be scored in this fixture.
Monza vs Lazio Prediction: over 1.5 goals
Inter Milan and Napoli to exchange goals: Inter Milan vs Napoli
- Date: 10/11/2024
- Kick-off: 20:45
- Inter Milan and Napoli to display their attacking prowess
Inter Milan and Napoli are two good goalscoring teams; both teams will look to display that in Milan this weekend. Inter scored 25 goals and conceded 13 goals in 11 games, while Napoli put the ball past their opponents 18 times and let in only 8. Because Inter will be at home and Napoli’s defence was dismantled against Atalanta, we think the reigning champions will equally get on the scoreboard, and the current league leaders will avoid going two games without scoring a goal.
Inter Milan vs Napoli Prediction: Home team to win
