SATURDAY:
UDINESE vs INTER MILAN
Udinese are currently 10th on the log and have endured an inconsistent season. They were held to a 2-2 home draw by Pisa last time out and have now won just one of their last five league matches.
Defensively Udinese have struggled, conceding 32 goals so far while their attack has been patchy with 22 goals scored across 20 matches.
Inter Milan sit top of the table and continue to set the pace in Serie A. They edged Lecce 1-0 at home in the midweek and have now won four of their last five league fixtures while drawing the 5th.
Inter boast the best attack in the division with 43 goals scored and their defence has also been strong, conceding only 17 times this season.
Head-to-Head
The sides met earlier this season where Udinese claimed a surprise 2-1 away win but Inter had won the four encounters prior to that.

Udinese 7.25
Draw 4.75
Inter Milan 1.43
Verdict
I think Udinese will be competitive at home and they may contribute to the scoring but Inter’s quality and consistency should see them take control of this matchup.
BET: Result and Totals – Inter and Over 2.5 Goals at 2.20
CAGLIARI vs JUVENTUS
Cagliari are 16th on the log and remain close to the relegation battle. They were beaten 3-0 away by Genoa last they played and have managed just one win from their last five encounters.
They have struggled defensively throughout the campaign, while their attacking output has been lacking as well, resulting in a -9 goal difference.
Juventus sit 4th on the table and come into this clash in excellent form. They thrashed Cremonese 5-0 at home when they met a few days ago and have not been beaten in their last six matches, dropping just 2 points.
Defensive solidity has been key for Juventus with just 16 goals conceded this season, while their attack has continued to improve in recent weeks netting a total of 32.
Head-to-Head
The last meeting between the teams took place in November where Juventus won 2-1 at home, before that they met in February last year and claimed a 1-0 triumph on the road.

Cagliari 6.75
Draw 4.25
Juventus 1.51
Verdict
Cagliari are likely to struggle against a Juventus side in strong form, particularly given Juventus’ defensive strength, I believe Juventus will win this without conceding a goal.
BET: Result and Both Teams to Score – Juventus and No at 2.35
SUNDAY:
AC MILAN vs LECCE
AC Milan are 2nd on the log and are well within title contention. The last time played they beat Como 3-1 on the road and prior to that settled for a 1-1 draw away at Fiorentina. Their last league defeat was back in August 2025.
Milan have been solid at both ends of the pitch scoring 33 goals while conceding just 16, making them one of the most structurally sound sides in the division.
Lecce sit 17th on the table and are struggling for form. They lost 1-0 away to Inter last time out and prior to that lost 1-2 at home to Parma. They have only taken 1 point from the last 15 on offer.
Lecce have battled on attack and defence, scoring just 13 goals while letting 28 through at the back.
Head-to-Head
The last time they went head-to-head was in September where AC Milan dominated at home to produce a 3-0 scoreline. Prior to that they met the previous season and Milan picked up a 2-0 win.

AC Milan 1.29
Draw 5.25

Verdict
I believe AC Milan’s superior quality and strong home form should see them claim a comfortable victory.
