Predictions for the 29th round of Serie A, March 13-16
Torino – Parma
Parma has been looking quite confident lately. The team is unbeaten in five consecutive matches, securing victories in three of them, even against some strong opponents. Torino, under the new coaching staff, has also improved and is playing noticeably better, but there are still issues in their game. Therefore, the visitors have a good chance to extend their unbeaten streak.
Match Prediction for Torino – Parma: the visitors will not lose
Inter – Atalanta
One of the key matches of the round will take place in Milan. Both teams desperately need points: Inter is continuing its fight for the championship title, while Atalanta is battling for a spot in the Champions League zone. However, both teams have recently slowed down – victories have become noticeably fewer. The Bergamaschi are approaching the game with a series of four matches without a win. Additionally, both teams have been lacking reliability in defense, so there are grounds to expect that each side is capable of scoring at least one goal.
Match Prediction for Inter – Atalanta: both teams will score
Napoli – Lecce
Recently, Napoli has been displaying rather unconvincing football. In the last two rounds, the team managed to secure victories and thus solidified their position in third place on the table, but not without difficulties. Both Verona and Torino were defeated by the Neapolitans with a score of 2:1, and both matches could have easily ended in a draw. Lecce, on the other hand, has performed quite well in recent matches and will surely try to provide worthy resistance to the hosts.
Match Prediction for Napoli – Lecce: victory for the visitors with a handicap (+1.5)
Udinese – Juventus
Udinese has been lacking stability this season: the team can drop points unexpectedly and then surprisingly take points from a stronger opponent. Juventus, on the other hand, has noticeably slowed down since early February and has been making more frequent defensive errors. During this period, there have been several matches where the Turin side conceded three or more goals. Therefore, the upcoming match could very well delight fans with a high number of goals.
Match Prediction for Udinese – Juventus: total over 2.5 goals
Verona – Genoa
Both teams are focused on one goal – to maintain their place in the top division. However, their quality of play differs significantly. Under De Rossi, Genoa has been demonstrating quite organized and quality football, which allows the "Griffins" to consistently earn points. Verona, on the other hand, only managed to break a prolonged winless streak in the last round by defeating the inconsistent Bologna with a score of 2:1. However, there is no certainty that the "Mastiffs" will be able to withstand the high level of competition in the upcoming match.
Match Prediction for Verona vs Genoa: away win with a handicap (0)
Pisa vs Cagliari
With each round, Pisa's chances of retaining their spot in the top division are dwindling. After the 28th round, the team found themselves at the very bottom. Under the new head coach, they have played five matches but managed to earn only one point, scoring just one goal in this span. However, Cagliari hasn't been impressive lately either: two draws and three losses in the last five rounds, with only two goals scored during this period. With such statistics, there is no reason to expect the upcoming match to be filled with goals.
Match Prediction for Pisa vs Cagliari: total under 2.5 goals
Sassuolo vs Bologna
In recent weeks, Sassuolo has been delighting its fans with positive results. In the last seven matches, the team has secured five victories, suffering only two defeats, and overall looks very confident. Bologna, on the other hand, when it seemed like they were getting back on track, stumbled again – last weekend, the team unexpectedly lost at home to Verona (1:2), who had not won for a long time and were at the bottom of the table. The hosts are quite capable of earning points.
Match Prediction for Sassuolo vs Bologna: home win with a handicap (0)
Como vs Roma
Como and Roma are direct competitors in the fight for a Champions League spot. The teams occupy 4th and 5th places respectively, each with 51 points. However, the opponents approach their head-to-head meeting in different states. Cesc Fabregas's team is showing very high-quality football and hardly makes mistakes, whereas the Romans have been less convincing lately and drop points more often than they would like. Considering that Como will also play with the support of their home crowd, the "Larians" have a good chance to take all three points.
Match Prediction for Como vs Roma: home win with a handicap (0)
Lazio vs Milan
Lazio is having an extremely unsuccessful season. After 28 rounds, the team is only in 10th place with 37 points. Just last weekend, the Romans managed to break their unpleasant winless streak, narrowly defeating Sassuolo (2:1). Notably, the winning goal was scored only in injury time. Milan, on the other hand, confidently holds second place in the table and still has a chance to challenge Inter for the championship, especially since the gap to the leader has been reduced to seven points. A potential away win in the upcoming match is unlikely to surprise anyone.
Match Prediction for Lazio vs Milan: away win
Cremonese vs Fiorentina
This season, Cremonese found themselves at the bottom of the table for the first time.in the relegation zone. The team is going through a difficult period: they haven't been able to win for 14 matches, with most of these games ending in defeats. Fiorentina has a great opportunity to capitalize on the opponent's problems and increase their lead from the 18th position, and they must seize it.
