Serie A Matchday 13: Hellas Verona vs. Inter

Hellas Verona had a promising start to the season, and many of us thought that they would be at least mid-table. However, the team started to progressively falter, to the point of dropping to the lower-middle of the table.

Right now, Hellas is 14th in the standings, with a record of four wins and eight losses, with 17 goals scored and 27 conceded. As we can see, the team has been good offensively, but their defense has been well below the expected level. Hellas Verona comes from losing four of the last five games, being the most recent one against Fiorentina, with a score of 1-3.

On the other hand, reigning Serie A champions Inter have been struggling to stay at the top of the table, but some ups and downs in their performance keep them in fourth place. However, they are equal on 25 points with up to four teams and only one point behind Napoli, so we can say that this fight for supremacy has just begun.

Inter has been scoring points regularly in recent weeks, coming from three wins and two draws in the last five matches. In the most recent game, they could not take advantage of their locality against Napoli and drew 1-1.

For this match, our prediction is a win for Inter.

Hellas Verona vs. Inter Betting Pick: Juventus

Serie A Matchday 13: Milan vs. Juventus

This matchup is between two teams that were called to be protagonists in the season. Milan has not performed as expected by their fans so far, as they are in seventh place in the table, with a record of five wins, three draws, and three losses. However, the Rossoneri have been picking up points recently, looking to wake up and, of course, get right into the fight for the top of the table.

The team comes into this matchday on the back of two wins, one draw, and two defeats in their last five games played, the most recent being a three-three draw against Cagliari.

On the other hand, the Vecchia Signora are in the thick of the battle for the top of the table among six teams. That is why beating Milan could be doubly beneficial for them, as it would be a morale booster, and, in addition, they could storm the top of the standings.

Juventus is in sixth place, with a record of six wins and six draws, being the only team in Serie A that does not know what it is to lose in the season. Moreover, Juve is coming from winning two consecutive matches, being the most recent one against Torino by 2-0.

For this match, our prediction is a 1-1 draw on the scoreboard.

Milan vs. Juventus Betting Pick: Draw

Serie A Matchday 13: Napoli vs. Roma

Napoli are looking to reclaim the Scudetto they won two seasons ago and, as such, have kicked off the season in full gear. Right now, the Neapolitans are at the top of the standings with a record of eight wins, two draws, and two losses, with 19 goals scored and nine conceded. While they are not the most offensive team in the tournament, we have that, so far, they are the second-best defense, only behind Juventus. So, this is a clear example of how defenses can win games.

Napoli comes to matchday 13 after a 1-1 draw away to Inter Milan at San Siro.

On the other hand, Roma continues to struggle to perform consistently and is currently in 12th place in the standings, with a terrible record of three wins, four draws, and five defeats. This could be a confirmation that, in the previous season, Jose Mourinho was not the problem for the team from the Italian capital. However, now, we can say that injuries leave them little chance to fight for the top of the table.

Right now, La Lupa is on a terrible run of four losses and one win in its last five games played, the most recent being a loss to Bologna by 2-3.

For this match, our winner’s chip is on Napoli.

Napoli vs. Roma Betting Pick: Napoli

Serie A Matchday 13: Lazio vs Bologna

Lazio is one of the teams that is deep in the fight for the top of the standings, as, after 12 rounds, they are in fifth place with a record of eight wins, one draw, and three losses, with 25 goals scored and 14 conceded.

Currently, Il Aquile is one of the teams, with the best level, as they come to this 13th matchday after four consecutive victories, the most recent one against Monza, away, with a score of 1-0.

On the other hand, Bologna had a somewhat slow start to the season and, as a result, fell away from the top of the table. However, they have gradually straightened the course and, currently, they are placed in the eighth place with a record of four wins, six draws, and one loss. As we can see, the team has one game less played than many of its rivals, so, if they get the three points, they could get closer to the fight for the top of the table.

Bologna comes into this matchday after winning the last three games, the most recent against Roma by 3-2.

For this match, our prediction is a 2-1 win for Lazio.
