This weekend we will have the actions of a new day in one of the most long-lived leagues in European soccer and soccer worldwide, the Serie A, where the teams arrive with the mission to get 3 points in their respective matches, to face a Napoli that continues inspired in their quest to be the new champions of the Italian soccer league.
Il Partenopei continues its perfect season in all the competitions they are playing and, thanks to this, they are at the top of the Serie A standings with 26 points. They are followed by Atalanta, another team that has also shown a great level of soccer at the beginning of the season with 24 points.
Further, back we have a very nice battle between Milan, Roma, Lazio, and Udinese, who are separated by only 2 points, and a win this matchday could help them climb up to third or even second place in the table.

Inter seems to have woken up in Serie A and after two excellent results in the Champions League against the dreaded FC Barcelona, Inter is expected to return to the top of the overall standings. While Juventus, with irregular play, returned to winning ways on matchday 10, and, they have moved into eighth place with 16 points.
Hellas Verona, Cremonese, and Sampdoria have not been able to find the formula that will take them on the road to victory, although other teams have also been playing at a level far below what they are used to.
Now then, we will have a preview of the best matches that you can enjoy in this matchday 11 of Serie A with their respective betting odds and free picks.

Matchday 11 of the Serie A kicks off this Friday, October 21, 2022, with the game between Juventus and Empoli, which will be at the Juventus Stadium at 02:45 pm ET.
In the last 20 matches played between these two teams, we can see how the Vecchia Signora dominates the record at pleasure, as, they have achieved 16 wins, Empoli has only managed 2 victories, while 2 matches have ended with a draw on the scoreboard.
Surely, this will be the first week of the season where Juventus will get their first consecutive winning streak when they host a beaten Empoli who have not had the tools to achieve more than 2 wins at the start of the season.
Juventus have had an extremely difficult and irregular start to the season, so much so that they were crushed by Maccabi Haifa on matchday 4 of the UEFA Champions League group stage. That is why the team coached by Maximiliano Allegri, must find the formula that will lead them to victory in all competitions if they want to continue fighting for all the trophies that are being disputed.
Juventus comes from beating Torino in the last round of Serie A, with a tight score of 1-0.
–
On the other hand, we have Empoli, one of the teams that, despite having an irregular start to the season, has managed to score 5 draws. Although it is not what they expected, they have helped them to stay in the middle of the overall standings, specifically in tenth place, with 11 points.
Empoli has only managed two wins all season but has frustrated its opponents throughout. Asking the Paolo Zanetti-coached players to deepen Juventus’ misery this week is probably going too far.
Only a handful of teams in all of Serie A have scored fewer goals than Empoli, so there shouldn’t be too many expectations for that to change at the Allianz Stadium. Juventus isn’t at its best goal-scoring moment either, so expect a dull match at first.
That’s why our pick for this match is a Juventus win with a score of 2-0.
Juventus vs Empoli Betting Pick: Juventus.
Serie A Matchday 11 – Preview – Milan vs. Monza – Info

After the Coppa Italia in the midweek schedule, the Serie A actions return this weekend with the games corresponding to matchday 11, and one of them will be between the current league champions, Milan, hosting Monza at the San Siro Stadium this Saturday, October 22, 2022, at noon ET.
Monza is playing for the first time in the first division of Italian soccer, but they have faced Milan 4 times in their history, where the latter has managed to take 4 victories, so, Monza will be looking to make history, just as it did with Juventus a few weeks ago, in this kind of “derby” (the city of Monza is just a few miles away from Milan, being considered a satellite population).
Milan had a shaky start this season, losing points in matches that were not planned, but, as the matchdays went by, they returned to being that powerful and fearsome team that managed to lift the Scudetto in the previous season. Right now, the Rossoneri are in third place in the overall standings with 23 points, only 3 points behind Napoli in the first place.
Milan needs to stay on the winning track to continue their fight for first place in the table. In their last match, they achieved a very good victory against Hellas Verona, with a score of 2-1.
–
On the other hand, we have the newly promoted Monza, a team that started its journey in the first division of Italian soccer in the worst possible way. However, after the dismissal of their coach, Giovanni Stroppa, in September, they have achieved the feat of winning 3 of their last 4 games played.
Thanks to these results, I Biancorossi was able to climb out of the relegation zone and climb to 14th place in the table. Likewise, they are coming from a difficult defeat against Empoli as visitors, with a score of 1-0 and, in addition to that, they will have to play their Coppa Italia match against Udinese this Wednesday.
That is why, for this match, our winner’s chip is for Milan with a score of 3-1.
Milan vs. Monza Betting Pick: Milan
Serie A Matchday 11 – Preview – Atalanta vs. Lazio – Info

Moneyline odds: Atalanta +100 / Lazio +260 (Source: MyBookie.ag)

The most even and exciting match that we will have in this matchday 11 of the Serie A will be, without a doubt, the Atalanta vs. Lazio that we can enjoy this Sunday, October 23, 2022, at noon ET, which will be at the Gewiss Stadium, home of Atalanta.
In addition to the fact that both teams have a spectacular start to the season, the particular series between them has been very even, especially, in the last 20 matches played, where Atalanta has managed to score 8 victories, Lazio has done the same on 6 occasions, while 6 matches have ended with a draw on the scoreboard.
La Dea has shown, even to its coach, that it has the level of play to face teams like Napoli, Inter, Milan, or Juventus, in the fight for the Scudetto this season.
Currently, Atalanta is in second place in the overall standings, with an excellent record of 7 wins and 3 draws, being, together with Napoli, the only teams that remain undefeated in this matchday 11 of the Italian Serie A.
It was another Ademola Lookman goal that sealed the three points last weekend at home to Sassuolo, and he could also get on the scoresheet against Lazio.
Lookman is enjoying his best season so far after a loan spell at Leicester City last year and fits in perfectly with Atalanta’s new tactics this term.
–
On the other hand, we have Lazio, another of the Italian league’s big teams who are also playing at a highly competitive level at the start of the Serie A season. Thanks to a record of 6 wins, 3 draws, and 1 loss, they are in fifth place in the table, just 3 points behind second place.
Lazio has suffered, especially in their last game played, in the absence of Ciro Immobile, due to injury. He could be out for the rest of the games before the World Cup and the team will miss him a lot and is still looking for inspiration from their goal-scoring captain.
Maurizio Sarri needs to look at his team to replace the talismanic Immobile, but he does not have the same type of striker in his ranks. This may see the capital’s club play a more defensive game at the GewissStadium at the weekend.
That said, our pick for this match is an Atalanta win with a score of 2-0.
Atalanta vs. Lazio Betting Pick: Atalanta
