Key Fixture Breakdown & Predictions

AS Roma vs. Inter Milan Prediction & Odds

Kickoff: Saturday, September 19 | 12:00 PM ET / 18:00 CET | Stadio Olimpico, Rome

Match Preview

Roma enters Gameweek 5 after back-to-back victories over Atalanta and Torino, showing clinical, excellent finishing on one, and superb defense on the other side of the field. Inter Milan flies on confidence, having netted eight goals across their last two outings. When mentioning offense, Roma’s Donyell Malen scored 6 goals in 4 Serie A events, leading the league at this stage.

• Best Bet: Both teams to score

Juventus FC vs. Atalanta BC Prediction & Odds

Kickoff: Sunday, September 20 | 12:00 PM ET / 18:00 CEST | Allianz Stadium, Turin

Match Preview

Both teams lost their respective games last weekend. Juve lost on the road to Sassuolo, 3-2, and La Dea at home to Cagliari, 1-2. The Old Lady bounced back hard in the Europa League this Thursday vs. NEC Nijmegen, 5-0, but that won’t count if they fail to take three points here. We expect a hard, tactical matchup because so much is at stake; therefore, we also don’t expect many goals in this one. Under 2.5 hits is the best possible pick for this matchup.

• Best Bet: Under 2.5 goals

Fiorentina vs. Napoli Prediction & Odds

Kickoff: Sunday, September 20 | 6:30 AM ET / 12:30 CEST | Artemio Franchi Stadium, Florence

Match Preview

Sunday’s early kickoff is in Florence, where Fiorentina hosts Napoli. The guests from southern Italy beat Bologna 1-0 last weekend, but they still look kinda limited and lack confidence. Fiorentina got a great boost in Franco Mastantuono, who bagged a hat trick in last weekend’s win over Venezia on the road, 2-4. Napoli’s defense oscillates a lot, as does Viola’s; therefore, it’s wise to bet on both teams netting in this matchup.

• Best Bet: Both Teams to Score

AC Milan vs. Lecce Prediction & Odds

Kickoff: Sunday, September 20 | 2:30 PM ET / 20:45 CET | San Siro, Milan

Match Preview

Milan were blown apart by Benfica in the UEL, 0-2. It was the third straight match the Rossoneri failed to win and a clear sign they are in crisis. Yes, the schedule was tough (Juve, Lazio and Benfica), but Ruben Amorim’s boys looked pale most of the time. Lecce comes to San Siro as an absolute underdog, and a perfect chance for Milan to recover and get back on the winning path.

• Best Bet: Milan wins
