SATURDAY
AC MILAN v COMO 1907 – Click here to bet
AC Milan’s season has fallen short of expectations, sitting 9th in Serie A with 44 points from 28 matches—seven points adrift of European qualification. Sérgio Conceição’s side will aim to build momentum after a hard-fought 3-2 win at Lecce last week, which ended a three-game losing streak in the league. This weekend, they host Como 1907 at the San Siro, looking to maintain their resurgence.
Como, currently 13th with 29 points, will travel to Milan following a 1-1 draw against Venezia. Cesc Fàbregas’ men have picked up seven points from their last five matches (two wins, one draw, two defeats), but defensive concerns linger, having kept just one clean sheet in their last ten Serie A outings.
Head-to-Head
Earlier this season, AC Milan edged out Como with a 2-1 victory in the reverse fixture, securing all three points.
Betting
AC Milan 17/20
Draw 28/10
Como 1907 33/10
Verdict
AC Milan will look to build on their recent win and remain in the hunt for European qualification. With Como struggling defensively and Milan winning the reverse fixture, the hosts are well-positioned to claim their seventh home victory of the season this weekend at the San Siro.
Suggested Bet: Full Time Result – AC Milan at 17/20
SUNDAY
FIORENTINA v JUVENTUS – Click here to bet
Fiorentina have recently struggled domestically, losing four of their last five league games, including a 2-1 defeat to Napoli last weekend. Sitting 8th with 45 points, the Viola will look to make the most of their solid home form (eight wins, three draws, and three defeats) when they host Juventus on Sunday.
Meanwhile, Juventus’ season has taken a turn for the worse following their European exit last month. Now 4th with 52 points, they enter this fixture reeling from a 4-0 hammering by Atalanta, which snapped their five-game winning streak in Serie A. With their top-four status under threat, Thiago Motta’s side will aim for a positive response, having won their last two away matches.
Head-to-Head
Juventus have held the upper hand in recent meetings, going unbeaten in their last five encounters with three wins and two draws. However, their dominance was slightly checked earlier this season when they were held to a 2-2 draw in the reverse fixture in Turin.
Betting
Fiorentina 12/5
Draw 9/4
Juventus 13/10
Verdict
Fiorentina’s poor domestic form contrasts with their solid home record, while Juventus are looking to bounce back from a heavy defeat to Atalanta. With the visitors unbeaten in their last five meetings against Fiorentina, they certainly have the edge going into this encounter and should return home with a positive result.
Suggested Bet: Double Chance and Total – Draw/Juventus and Over 1.5 at 17/20
ATALANTA v INTER MILAN – Click here to bet
Atalanta welcome league leaders Inter Milan to the Gewiss Stadium on Sunday, fresh off a dominant 4-0 victory over Juventus. Gian Piero Gasperini’s men have extended their unbeaten league run to seven matches (four wins, three draws) and sit 3rd with 58 points—just three behind their visitors.
Inter Milan, sitting at the summit with 61 points, hold a narrow one-point lead over Napoli. After securing a spot in the Champions League quarter-finals with a 4-1 aggregate win over Feyenoord, Simone Inzaghi’s side now turn their focus back to Serie A, where they have collected seven points from their last three games.
Head-to-Head
Inter Milan have won their last five consecutive league meetings against Atalanta, including a dominant 4-0 victory earlier this season.
Betting
Atalanta 16/10
Draw 12/5
Inter Milan 7/4
Verdict
Atalanta enter this clash in strong form, but Inter Milan have dominated recent meetings, winning the last five league encounters, including a commanding 4-0 victory earlier this season. With the visitors looking to extend their lead at the top, their momentum and superior record should make all the difference in Bergamo.
Suggested Bet: Full Time Result – Inter Milan at 7/4
