Serie A Matchday 17: Genoa vs. Napoli

Genoa is one of the teams destined to fight against relegation this season. However, they have been picking up points recently, going unbeaten in their last six matches, winning two of them. As a result, they currently sit 13th in the table, though their total of just 13 goals scored is well below the league average. One major drawback for them is that they have yet to secure a home victory this season.

Napoli, on the other hand, is among the best teams this season, sitting second with 35 points, just two behind leaders Atalanta. The standout feature of this squad is their defense, which has conceded only 11 goals. This defensive strength has compensated for their 24 goals scored—a modest tally for the league’s top six—allowing them to remain in contention. Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku has contributed significantly with six goals and four assists.

Serie A Matchday 17: Atalanta vs. Empoli

Atalanta is enjoying a stellar domestic season, sitting atop the Serie A standings with 37 points and riding a 10-match winning streak. The Bergamo side boasts the league’s best offensive record with 39 goals scored, led by striker Mateo Retegui, who tops the scoring charts with 12 goals and three assists. Known for their high-pressure and entertaining style of play, La Dea showcases impressive quality across all its attacking options. Additionally, they’ve been formidable at home, winning their last five matches at Gewiss Stadium.

Empoli, meanwhile, finds itself in the middle of the table, exceeding preseason expectations. They’ve earned 19 points but have managed just one win in their last five outings. With 14 goals scored and 16 conceded, the team has been solid on the road, collecting 12 points in eight away matches.

Serie A Matchday 17: Monza vs. Juventus

Monza is having a dismal season, currently sitting in 19th place with just 10 points, putting them in the relegation zone. The team has managed only one win all season, drawing seven matches and losing eight while conceding 21 goals. They are also winless in their last eight Serie A matches, further deepening their struggles.

Juventus, on the other hand, remains the only unbeaten team in Serie A. However, their season has been hampered by a staggering ten draws in just 16 matches, leaving them in sixth place with 28 points, nine behind the leaders. Once again, it seems the Turin giants will have to settle for fighting for a Champions League spot. Serbian forward Dušan Vlahović is their top scorer, with seven goals this season.

Serie A Matchday 17: Inter vs. Como

Inter Milan has two games in hand, and winning both would see them draw level with Atalanta at the top of the Serie A. With 34 goals, they boast one of the league’s most potent attacks, led by Marcus Thuram with ten goals and Lautaro Martínez contributing five. Simone Inzaghi’s side has lost just once this season, and their defense, having conceded only 15 goals, ranks among the best in the league. Including all competitions, Inter is unbeaten in their last eight home matches.

Cesc Fabregas’ Como is currently enjoying a three-game unbeaten run, winning last weekend versus Roma (2-0) and, with 15 points, they are narrowly avoiding relegation—a commendable feat for the team. However, their defense remains a major concern, having conceded 28 goals, making them the third-worst in the league.

Inter vs. Como Betting Pick: Inter
