Serie A predictions & betting tips

Serie A predictions

Serie A is the highest rank of Italian football and one of the best football leagues in Europe. The league is also referred to as the “Scudetto” because the winners are not only awarded the Campioni d’Italia title, but are also presented with a scudetto (little shield), which is a decorative patch with colours of the Italian flag that the winners wear on their jerseys the following season.

Founded all the way back in 1929 as a round-robin top-tier league, Serie A is one of the oldest European leagues and has always been very popular. Furthermore, Italian teams are consistently among the best in Europe.

Relegation candidates – Pisa and Verona already packed their bags

Pisa and Verona have been officially relegated and they are on their way to Serie B. The third team to join them is still up in the air, with Lecce and Cremonese battling to avoid relegation.

Cremonese are the more likely team to be relegated since they are four points behind Lecce heading into the final three games of the season.

Top scorer favourites – Lautaro Martinez leading the race

At this stage of the season, it seems that Inter Milan’s Lautaro Martinez has the Golden Boot in the bag and the bookies see him as the main favourite to be the top scorer in Serie A this season.

The top candidates to catch up with Martinez are Nico Paz, Marcus Thuram, and Anastasios Douvikas, although that seems highly unlikely.
