Predictions for the 14th round of Serie A, December 6-8
Sassuolo vs Fiorentina
Fiorentina approaches the 14th round in a dismal state: a third of the season is behind, and the team has yet to taste victory, having collected only 6 points in 13 matches. The change of coach has not yet brought the expected effect – the last two encounters ended in goalless defeats. Sassuolo, having returned to the elite and demonstrating organized football, looks much more convincing. At home, the team consistently holds its own, so at the very least, they are quite capable of securing a draw under the current conditions.
Match Prediction for Sassuolo vs Fiorentina: the hosts will not lose
Inter vs Como
One of the most intriguing matches of the round is expected in Milan. Inter and Como have confidently started the new season: after 13 matches in Serie A, the teams are in third and fifth places, with only three points between them. Both sides impress particularly in attack. The "Nerazzurri" have already scored 28 goals – the best in the league. The "Larians" are not far behind: 19 goals and fourth in terms of scoring. With such dynamics, it's hard to imagine a closed game, so an exchange of goals seems the most logical scenario.
Match Prediction for Inter vs Como: both teams will score
Verona vs Atalanta
Verona has firmly rooted in the relegation zone and remains one of the two Serie A teams that have not achieved a victory in the first 13 rounds. Recent matches have only worsened the situation – defeats follow one after another. Atalanta, however, seems to have been reborn after changes in the coaching staff. Under Juric, the team stumbled even against weak opponents, but they approach the upcoming encounter with a series of three "clean sheet" victories. Recently, the "Queen of the Provincials" destroyed Genoa (4:0) at home in the Coppa Italia, showcasing high-quality football. Given the current form of the sides, the hosts' chances even for a draw look minimal.
Match Prediction for Verona vs Atalanta: victory for the visitors
Cremonese vs Lecce
After three consecutive defeats, many started proclaiming that Cremonese's luck had run out, and the team would soon slip into the relegation zone. However, the "Gray-Reds" abruptly ended these talks with a bang: in the last round, they confidently defeated Bologna away (1:3). Moreover, Bologna has set a very high standard this season, and even Napoli failed to show anything substantial on their field (0:2). Such a victory should serve as a powerful morale boost for Cremonese players, and in the home match against Lecce, the team has every reason to count on at least a draw.
Match Prediction for Cremonese vs Lecce: the hosts will not lose
Cagliari vs Roma
Cagliari has been unable to secure a victory for ten matches in a row. The team is demonstrating weak football, and the defense has completely lost its reliability, consistently conceding two goals in almost every match. Roma, on the other hand, is having a much more confident season, staying among the league leaders. Only last weekend, the "Wolves" did not perform at their best and lost at home to Napoli (0:1), which cost them the top spot in the table. Therefore, the visitors will do everything possible to secure three points in the upcoming match.
Match Prediction for Cagliari vs Roma: Away Win
Lazio vs Bologna
Bologna surprised many in a negative way in the previous round: the team, which was on a 12-match unbeaten streak, unexpectedly lost at home to Cremonese with a score of 1:3 and immediately dropped to sixth place. However, nothing catastrophic happened – the gap from the top four increased by only three points. Nevertheless, it is crucial for the "Red and Blues" not to suffer a second consecutive defeat to avoid a psychological setback. Lazio does not appear to be an insurmountable opponent this season: a transfer ban has seriously impacted the consistency of their results. Therefore, the visitors have a good chance to take points.
Match Prediction for Lazio vs Bologna: Visitors Will Not Lose
Napoli vs Juventus
The central match of the 14th round will take place in Naples and promises to be one of the most intense. Both teams approach the match in good form: Napoli has won the last four games, Juventus – three. Given the high density in the top seven, no one will want to drop points, as every slip-up can significantly alter the standings. Under such conditions, it is logical to expect that both sides will find their chances in attack and exchange goals.
Match Prediction for Napoli vs Juventus: Both Teams to Score
Pisa vs Parma
Last weekend, Pisa ended their six-match unbeaten run, losing at home to Inter 0:2. However, this defeat does not seem critical, considering the opponent's status – it was clear from the start that the chances were slim. Pisa's main task remains to collect points in matches against teams of their level. Parma can definitely be classified in this category: this season, the team scores very few goals and is only one point ahead of the "Black and Blues" in the table. In such a situation, the hosts have every right to expect a positive result.
Match Prediction for Pisa vs Parma: Home Win with a Handicap (0)
Udinese vs Genoa
Changes in the coaching staff have significantly transformed Genoa's game: in the last four rounds, the team has collected 8 points and climbed out of the relegation zone. For comparison, under Patrick Vieira, the "Griffins" managed only three points in eight matches. Udinese, on the other hand, shows extremely inconsistent play, alternating between confident performances and outright failures. Under such circumstances, the visitors are quite capable of taking points again.
Match Prediction for Udinese vs Genoa: The Visitors Will Not Lose
Torino vs Milan
Torino approaches the upcoming match in a frankly poor mood. The team has not been able to secure a victory for five consecutive rounds, and the last two matches ended in defeats. Last weekend, the "Bulls" were defeated away by Lecce (1-2), a team that is hard to consider among the strong opponents. Milan, on the other hand, is in excellent form: in the previous two rounds, the team secured maximum points, defeating Inter (1-0) and Lazio (1-0) without conceding a goal. Considering the current form of the teams, the "Rossoneri" should not face significant problems in the upcoming match.
