Serie A Matchday 19 Odds & Preview

Top-Six Clashes Headline Matchday

Napoli Take Nine-Point Lead

A dominant 5-1 victory vs. Juventus gave Napoli a nine-point lead on top of the Serie A table. Despite losing a bunch of players last Summer, Napoli have been the league’s preeminent force this season. They’re expected to get another win this weekend when they take on Salernitana but there are plenty of good Serie A matches this week. We’ll take a look at a couple of blockbuster clashes as we review the Serie A Matchday 19 odds. Juventus vs. Atalanta and Lazio vs. AC Milan headline an excellent matchday.

Games of the Week

JUV Juventus vs Atalanta ATA

Date, Time & Streaming:

Juventus fielded a second string team in their 2-1 Coppa Italia win vs. Monza on Thursday. So, their stars should be well rested for Sunday’s Serie A contest vs. Atalanta.

Juve got outclassed by Napoli last week and need to bounce back. Meanwhile, Atalanta have been lighting up the scoreboard lately with an incredible eight goals in their last Serie A match.

They defeated Salernitana 8-2 last Sunday and followed it up with a 5-2 win vs. Spezia in the Coppa Italia on Thursday. Gian Piero Gasperini fielded quite a strong side so it’ll be interesting to see if Atalanta are gassed come Sunday.

In any case, third place Juve are ½-goal home favorites and sit at +105 ATS and moneyline odds. The 5-1 loss to Napoli ended an eight-game Serie A shutout streak for Juve and marked their first loss since October.

Atalanta have been a tough opponent for Juve in recent seasons, too. La Dea are unbeaten in the last five Serie A meetings and won 1-0 at the Allianz Stadium last season. They are favored to cover the spread, at -125 odds, but still show just +270 odds to win the match.

Atalanta have just one road loss this season and carry an excellent 6-2-1 away record into this match. Three of the last five Serie A matchups have finished in draws and another is priced at +245 odds here.

Sixth place Atalanta have a couple of potential absences to be aware of here. Defender Giorgio Scalvini limped off in their Coppa Italia victory on Thursday and is questionable. Meanwhile, midfielder Teun Koopmeiners is suspended for the match.

It’s a big loss for La Dea as he’s scored in their last two league matches. Still, Atalanta have had no problems scoring lately and Ademola Lookman has four goals in his last two matches.

Juve could get a few injury boosts ahead of this match as Juan Cuadrado, Leonardo Bonucci and Dusan Vlahovic are getting close to returning. Despite Atalanta’s goal scoring form, under 2½ comes in at -120 odds.

LAZ Lazio vs AC Milan MIL

Date, Time & Streaming:

In the span of just a week, AC Milan crashed out of the Coppa Italia and lost 3-0 in the Supercoppa Italiana to rivals Inter Milan. At least the Scudetto holders enter the weekend in second place in Serie A. They’re also unbeaten in their last six Serie A matches but find themselves nine points behind leaders Napoli. Milan head to Rome to take on a fifth place Lazio side with some inconsistent recent form. The Biancocelesti advanced to the Coppa Italia quarterfinals but have already drawn with Empoli and lost to Lecce in 2023.

‘Stefano Pioli’s side sit at +120 ATS and moneyline odds for this one. Lazio, who are missing star striker Ciro Immobile, come in at +230 odds to win and a draw is listed at +245 odds.’

The Serie A Matchday 19 Odds price the Rossoneri as ½-goal favorites heading into Tuesday’s match. Milan have won the last three meetings in all competitions and managed a 2-1 victory at the Stadio Olimpico last April. Stefano Pioli’s side sit at +120 ATS and moneyline odds for this one. Lazio, who are missing star striker Ciro Immobile, come in at +230 odds to win and a draw is listed at +245 odds. None of the last nine matches between these teams have finished in a draw, though.

Like Lazio, Milan are also missing a key player. French goalie Mike Maignan is out and is targeting the Champions League clash vs. Tottenham in February as a return date. In the meantime, Ciprian Tatarusanu should continue to start in goal. He’s conceded 12 goals in 11 starts this season and conceded twice in the 2-2 draw vs. Lecce last Saturday. Meanwhile, Lazio have conceded at least two goals in three of their last four Serie A matches. With both defenses leaky as of late, over 2½ goals displays a -115 price.

Other Matches to Watch

SAL Salernitana vs Napoli NAP

Date, Time & Streaming:

Last Sunday, Salernitana became the first team since 1996 to concede eight goals in a Serie A match. The Granata lost 8-2 to Atalanta on Matchday 18 and now welcome local rivals Napoli to Salerno this Saturday. Napoli have shown this season they can score on anyone and the league leaders put five goals on Juventus last Friday. The Partenopei are on a roll right now and enter this match as heavy -350 road favorites. The Serie A Matchday 19 odds also list Napoli as -125 favorites to cover the 1½-goal spread.

At 7-1-1, Napoli have the best home record in the league and have the league’s leading scorer, Victor Osimhen. Salernitana have a 3-3-3 record at home and sit at just +900 odds to win this match. They’re also priced at +105 odds to cover and a draw comes in at +480 odds. Napoli won both meetings last season by a combined scoreline of 5-1. Over three goals also shows -120 odds for the match. After all, Napoli have scored at least two goals in six of their last seven Serie A matches.

SPE Spezia vs Roma ROM

Date, Time & Streaming:

So far, so good for Jose Mourinho’s Roma in 2023. They’re unbeaten in four matches in all competitions and are through to the Coppa Italia quarterfinals. The Giallorossi also defeated Fiorentina 2-0 last Sunday and head to Spezia as -125 ATS and moneyline favorites. Paulo Dybala scored a brace vs. Fiorentina and also scored the winner vs. Genoa in the Coppa Italia. Expect him to play another big part here. Spezia are not at all to be underestimated, though. Luca Gotti’s side are unbeaten in their last five Serie A contests.

They did, however, give up five goals to Atalanta in the Coppa Italia on Thursday. Spezia +½ comes in at +105 odds and their moneyline shows a +380 price. Last season, Roma kept two shutouts in this fixture and won both meetings. Still, bettors can take a draw at +280 odds. Despite their five-match unbeaten run, Spezia are only in 15th place in the Serie A standings. Roma, currently in seventh, can get back into the top-four conversation with a win here. It’s expected to be a tight low-scoring match though, as under 2½ goals is listed at -125 odds.

INT Inter Milan vs Empoli EMP

Date, Time & Streaming:

No team has more points over their last five Serie A matches than Inter Milan. They’ve taken 13 points from their last five games and won the Supercoppa Italiana over AC Milan on Wednesday. It wasn’t a particularly close match either, as the Nerazzurri scored three unanswered goals at the King Fahd Stadium. Inter could present the greatest title challenge to Napoli if they continue this run of form. Simone Inzaghi’s Inter are 1½-goal favorites on Monday vs. Empoli and show -125 odds to cover.

Inter also head into the match as -350 moneyline favorites and both Serie A meetings were exciting affairs last season. Inter won both matches as this fixture produced eight goals. Under three goals has a -115 price for their first meeting of the 2022-23 season, though. Empoli are +105 underdogs to cover the spread and massive +875 underdogs to grab an unlikely road win at the San Siro. Serie A betting tips have typically recommended betting on Inter at home this season. They have an 8-1 record there and interestingly have just one draw all season. Yet, a draw displays +500 for this match.
