Top UEFA Serie A Games to Watch This Weekend (Sep. 11th – 12th)
Venezia +310 vs Empoli -128
- When: Saturday, Sep. 11
Empoli made the leap from Serie B to Serie A with almost zero fanfare. After Empoli beat Juventus on Aug. 28, the bandwagon has begun to fill. Ah, but before upsetting Juvy, who lost to Empoli in their first game without Ronaldo, Lazio dusted the home squad 3-1. Venezia has yet to score a goal in Serie A. Empoli offers underlay odds, though. So we’ll back the road dog.
Soccer Pick: Venezia
Juventus +160 vs Napoli +150
- When: Saturday, Sep. 11
Saturday’s top Italian League match pits two of the favorites to win the title against each other. Napoli is in great form. They’ve won 2 straight. Juventus has yet to get on track. Will they? Massimiliano Allegri is a great coach and manager. However, he had a much different team when Juventus routinely played deep into the Champions League. Losing Ronaldo could be a problem if the other players don’t pick it up. Napoli is the play.
Soccer Pick: Napoli
Fiorentina +1 ½ (-166) vs Atalanta -1 ½ (+125)
- When: Saturday, Sep. 11
Atalanta should beat Fiorentina. Most soccer handicappers, though, will take the +1 ½ on Fiorentina. After beating Torino in their last, the road team shows better form than the home squad. But Atalanta is the much better team. Laying -166 on a club like Fiorentina to not bounce after such an impressive victory isn’t wise. We’re taking a shot on Atalanta to cover.
Soccer Pick: Atalanta
Inter Milano -153 vs Sampdoria +360
- When: Sunday, Sep. 12
Based on how they’ve played, you wouldn’t guess that Inter Milano lost Romelu Lukaku and other star players. Inter has dominated, which is why they’re such a big favorite to beat Sampdoria. On Aug. 29, Sampdoria drew 0-0 with Sassuolo. Although the home team figures to lose, eventually, Inter will come back down to earth. The losses should affect their play. Sampdoria draws in their second straight.
Soccer Pick: Draw
Genoa +255 vs Cagliari +100
- When: Sunday, Sep. 12
Neither squad is in decent form. But Cagliari is an underlay at +100. Why? Genoa has won the last 3 head-to-head. Give the road team a big chance.
Soccer Pick: Genoa
Udinese +134 vs Spezia +185
- When: Sunday, Sep. 12
Udinese won the last head-to-head. More importantly, Udinese offers overlay odds because this happens on Spezia’s pitch. The road team is in much better form than the home team. At +134, Udinese provides great value.
Soccer Pick: Udinese
Salernitana +440 vs Torino -178
- When: Sunday, Sep. 12
So far, Salernitana has fallen to Bologna 3-2 and to As Roma 0-4. Torino has lost 2 straight. But that was against Atalanta and Fiorentina. The home team has a big edge. Salernitana will have to wait for their first Serie A victory of the season.
Soccer Pick: Torino
Lazio +200 vs AC Milan +120
- When: Sunday, Sep. 12
The weekend’s top match shows a massive odds difference. AC Milan is a good team. But they shouldn’t be +80 chalks over Lazio. The road squad has won 2 straight, including dominating Spezia 6-1 on Aug. 28. AC Milan has also want 2 straight. The biggest difference? Ciro Immobile plays for Lazio. We’ll take a shot on the underdog.
Soccer Pick: Lazio
Sassuolo +330 vs As Roma -161
- When: Sunday, Sep. 12
Roma is on fire. The 4-0 win over Salernitana in their last impresses big time. Sassuolo may play for a draw. It could happen. But, right now, Roma is playing like one of the best club teams in Europe. So the -161 makes the home squad an overlay.
Soccer Pick: As Roma
