Serie A - Round 9 - Score Predictions & Best Bets

Round 9 sees several big ties and some tasty mid-table clashes. Below are each fixture, a short note on why I picked the score, the predicted score, and the best bet for each game.

Lecce vs Napoli

Lecce have been inconsistent and Napoli arrive in form — expect the visitors to control the game but Lecce to defend deep and look for counters.

Predicted score: Lecce 0 – 2 Napoli

Best bet: Napoli to win to nil

Atalanta vs AC Milan

Atalanta press and punish space at home; Milan have quality but can be stretched by Atalanta’s intensity. Expect an open, tense match.

Predicted score: Atalanta 2 – 1 AC Milan

Best bet: Atalanta to win + Both teams to score

Como vs Hellas Verona

Como are tough to break down at home; Verona are more clinical on the break. This feels like a narrow, even contest.

Predicted score: Como 1 – 1 Hellas Verona

Best bet: Both teams to score

Juventus vs Udinese

Juventus should dominate possession and chances at home; Udinese will try to stay compact but could concede from individual quality.

Predicted score: Juventus 3 – 1 Udinese

Best bet: Juventus to win + Over 2.5 goals

AS Roma vs Parma

Roma control the middle of the park and should create the better chances; Parma will be disciplined but unlikely to stop multiple attacks.

Predicted score: Roma 2 – 0 Parma

Best bet: Roma to win to nil

Bologna vs Torino

A local derby with both teams firing at times — physical and tight, but goals are likely given both sides’ forward options.

Predicted score: Bologna 2 – 1 Torino

Best bet: Over 2.5 goals + Both teams to score

Genoa vs Cremonese

Two sides who’ll fight for points; Genoa’s home edge should be the difference but expect a competitive game.

Predicted score: Genoa 2 – 1 Cremonese

Best bet: Genoa to win + Under 4.5 goals

Inter vs Fiorentina

Inter’s balance and depth give them the edge at home, but Fiorentina can nick a goal on the break — a tight, tactical battle.

Predicted score: Inter 2 – 1 Fiorentina

Best bet: Inter to win + Both teams to score

Cagliari vs Sassuolo

Cagliari at home are resilient; Sassuolo play with creativity but aren’t always clinical away — a low-scoring, tight game looks likely.

Predicted score: Cagliari 1 – 1 Sassuolo

Best bet: Under 2.5 goals

Pisa vs Lazio

Lazio should control progression and press for goals, but Pisa defend well at home and can frustrate. Expect Lazio to edge it.

Predicted score: Pisa 0 – 2 Lazio

Best bet: Lazio to win + Over 1.5 away goals

Final Thoughts

Round 9 mixes big home tests for the top sides with competitive fixtures where goals could open up markets. Napoli away at Lecce and Inter at home look like smart, safer choices; Atalanta vs AC Milan and Bologna vs Torino are worth watching for goal markets. Always check start-of-day team news and late injuries before locking anything in.
