Predictions for the Italian Championship: Serie A Matchday 35, May 2-5
Torino vs Venezia
Venezia continues its desperate fight for survival. Their results leave much to be desired: only one victory in 2025 and none away for the entire season. In the last round, the team lost to Milan (0:2), once again failing to capitalize on their chances. Torino, on the other hand, consistently performs well at home: their last home defeat dates back to December of last year. Additionally, the team demonstrates reliable defense, rarely conceding at their home stadium. The advantage is on the side of the hosts.
Match Prediction for Torino vs Venezia: Home win with a (0) handicap
Cagliari vs Udinese
Udinese is going through a tough period: the team hasn't won in seven matches in a row, suffering five defeats. In the last match against Bologna (0:0), they managed to avoid defeat, but the game left many questions. Cagliari, on the contrary, has started playing much better. In the previous round, the team secured a victory over Verona (2:0) and is now aiming to solidify its position outside the relegation zone, from which they have pulled away by 8 points. Considering the current form of the opponents and the motivation of the hosts, Cagliari has a good chance for a positive result.
Match Prediction for Cagliari vs Udinese: Home win with a (0) handicap
Parma vs Como
Como, under the leadership of Cesc Fabregas, continues to impress: four consecutive victories, three of which were clean sheets. However, Parma, despite personnel losses, is showing commendable play. In the last four rounds, the team hasn't lost once, drawing with Inter (2:2), Fiorentina (0:0), Lazio (2:2), and defeating Juventus (1:0). Particularly noteworthy is the match against "the Eagles," where Parma led 2:0 but couldn't maintain the advantage. Both teams have significant attacking potential, making a goal exchange likely.
Match Prediction for Parma vs Como: Both teams to score
Lecce vs Napoli
Napoli, with four rounds left in the championship, has once again taken the top spot, pulling three points ahead of Inter. Antonio Conte's team is showing confident play, securing clean victories over Torino (2:0), Monza (1:0), and Empoli (3:0). Scott McTominay stands out, having scored five goals in the last three matches, bringing his personal tally to 12 goals this season (including the Coppa Italia). Lecce, on the other hand, is in terrible form – 7 losses and 2 draws in the last 9 matches. In the last round against Atalanta (1:1), the team was lucky to avoid defeat, but it's unlikely that luck will be on their side again.
Match Prediction for Lecce vs Napoli: Away win
Inter vs Verona
In the last round, the "Nerazzurri" lost to Roma (0:1), allowing Napoli to top the Serie A table. The team is struggling with converting chances and maintaining physical form, especially given the tight schedule and the upcoming return leg against Barcelona in the Champions League. Verona is also in a tough spot: in their last five matches, the team has drawn three times and lost twice, scoring only one goal. In the previous round, the "Mastiffs" lost to Cagliari (0:2), showing a weak attacking performance. In such a match, don't expect many goals.
Match Prediction for Inter vs Verona: Total Under 2.5 Goals
Empoli vs Lazio
Empoli continues their winless streak in Serie A, which now extends to 19 matches. Their last victory in the league was back in December against Verona (4:1). In recent rounds, the team consistently loses, including defeats to Napoli (0:3) and Fiorentina (1:2). Lazio, on the other hand, is in decent form and continues to fight for a Champions League spot. Last weekend, the team drew with Parma (2:2), coming back from 0:2 thanks to a brace by Pedro. The "Eagles" need only victories if they want to secure a top-four finish.
Match Prediction for Empoli vs Lazio: Away Win
Monza vs Atalanta
Monza continues their decline: the team hasn't won since the beginning of January, and their last five matches have ended in defeats. During this period, the "Brianzoli" have scored only one goal, remaining at the bottom of the table with 15 points. Atalanta, despite a recent draw with Lecce (1:1), holds the third position in Serie A and aims to secure a Champions League spot. Gian Piero Gasperini's team shows high scoring efficiency, having netted 67 goals this season, and boasts one of the best away records in the league (36 points in 17 games). Considering the current form of the opponents and tournament motivation, the "Queen of the Provincials" should not face significant problems.
Match Prediction for Monza vs Atalanta: Away Win with Handicap (-1.5)
Roma vs Fiorentina
The arrival of Claudio Ranieri has breathed new life into Roma. After a poor start to the season, the team has gone on an impressive 18-match unbeaten run in Serie A. In 2025, they have collected more points than any other club in the Italian championship. In the last round, the "Wolves" defeated Inter away (1:0), reducing the gap to the Champions League zone to two points. Fiorentina, on the other hand, shows inconsistent results: a draw with Parma (0:0), a win over Empoli (2:1), and struggles in matches against Cagliari and Celje. The team also has a return leg against Betis in the Conference League semifinals, which might affect their priorities. Roma looks like the clear favorite.
Match Prediction for Roma vs Fiorentina: Home Team Victory
Bologna vs Juventus
Bologna and Juventus approach their head-to-head match in good form and with a single goal – to qualify for the Champions League. After 34 rounds, the teams occupy the fifth and fourth places respectively, separated by just one point. In recent rounds, both opponents have shown consistent results, making the upcoming encounter particularly significant in the battle for the top-4. The first-round match between Bologna and Juventus ended in a high-scoring draw (2:2), indicating the equality of strength and attacking potential of both teams. Given the importance of the upcoming game, one can expect an end-to-end football match.
Match Prediction for Bologna vs Juventus: Both Teams to Score
Genoa vs AC Milan
Genoa is ending the season on a downturn: in the last five matches, the team has secured one win, one draw, and suffered three losses, scoring only one goal. In the previous round, the "Grifoni" were defeated by Como (0:1), managing only four shots in 90 minutes. Milan, on the other hand, is on the rise. The team has achieved three clean-sheet victories in the last four matches, including a convincing win over Inter (3:0), securing a place in the Italian Cup final. Last weekend, the "Rossoneri" defeated Venezia away (2:0), showcasing reliable defense and effective attack. At first glance, the upcoming clash seems clear-cut.
