Serie A Matchday 14: Milan vs. Empoli

Milan has failed to take advantage of the tie at the top of the table to get into that fight. Right now, they are seventh in the table, with a record of five wins, four draws, and three losses, with 20 goals scored and 14 conceded. The Rossoneri can’t find a way to win consecutive matches, which keeps them away from this fight at the top of the table.

In the last five games played, they accumulated two wins, two draws, and one loss, of which the last two have been two draws, the most recent against Juventus with a score of 0-0.

On the other hand, Empoli has not had a positive start to the season, as they are currently 10th in the standings, with a record of three wins, seven draws, and three losses, with ten goals scored and 11 conceded. In addition, it is worth noting that the team has only managed to score one win in the last five games played, something that keeps them far away from the European places.

If Empoli do not wake up, they will continue to fall in the standings. However, like Milan, they are coming from drawing their last two games played, the most recent being against Udinese 1-1.

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

Serie A Matchday 14: Torino vs. Napoli

Torino had a good start to the season and was even close to the top of the standings. However, their performance started to decline week after week, to the point that they are in 11th place, with a record of four wins, three draws, and six losses, with 16 goals scored and 19 conceded.

The Turin side comes into matchday 14 on the back of three defeats and one draw in their last four games, the most recent being a 1-1 tie with Monza.

On the other hand, Napoli continues to lead the standings with an excellent record of nine wins, two draws, and two defeats. The team’s level is worthy of admiration, but there is no margin for error, as a defeat on any given matchday could send them straight to fifth place. That is why the Neapolitans will have to give their all in every game from now on, or they will lose the first place in the table.

Napoli is coming off an excellent win in their most recent match against Roma by 1-0.

For this match, our prediction is a win for the visitors.

Torino vs. Napoli Betting Pick: Napoli

Serie A Matchday 14: Fiorentina vs. Inter

Both teams are level on 28 points in the standings, one behind Napoli at the top, so this match is extremely important as they look to lead the table.

La Fiore has surprised everyone this early season, as the team has an impressive record of eight wins, four draws, and one loss, with 27 goals scored and 10 conceded. The team has been playing phenomenally so far, butthis will be the first litmus test they have against a high-caliber opponent.

Fiorentina came into this matchday after winning five consecutive games, the most recent being a 2-0 away victory over Como.

On the other hand, Inter will be looking to defend the title won last season, but they will need more than just desire to do so.In this 2024/25 edition, we have several contenders, so it will be much more complicated to achieve their goals. However, we know what this team is capable of, so the odds are clearly in their favor.

Inter comes on the back of three wins and two draws in their last five games, the most recent being a victory over Hellas Verona by 5-0.

For this match, our prediction is a 2-0 win for Inter.

Fiorentina vs. Inter Betting Pick: Inter

Serie A Matchday 14: Roma vs. Atalanta

Roma has had a first half of the season to forget. The team can’t find a way to get wins, and right now, they are in 12th place in the table, with a terrible record of three wins, four draws, and six losses. Moreover, it is worth mentioning that they come into this matchday after four defeats in the last five games, clearly showing that their current performance is worrying.

The team from the Italian capital needs to wake up their lines of play. So far, they have accumulated only 14 goals in 13 games, while they have conceded 18, which is unusual for such a popular and renowned team. Moreover, they are coming from losing three games in a row, the most recent being against Bologna at home by 2-3.

On the other hand, Atalanta is shining so far this season, as they are second in the standings, with a record of nine wins, one draw, and three losses, with 34 goals scored and 16 conceded. Although they are equal on 28 points with three other teams, their goal difference (+18) keeps them as runner-ups.

Similarly, La Dea will have to take a step forward to stay on the winning track and thus be able to take a victory from the Stadio Olimpico in Rome and continue fighting for that coveted first place in the table. The team is coming off five straight wins, the most recent being 3-1 away over Parma.

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