Parma is fulfilling its mission of maintaining its place in the First Division. However, they are only three points above Empoli, so they have no margin for error from here on out.
At the moment, Parma is ranked #16 in the standings, with a record of 5 wins, 11 draws, and 14 losses, with 35 goals scored and 49 conceded. Currently, Parma has three consecutive matches with points (draws), so we could say that they have some confidence on this matchday 31. Their most recent match was a draw against Hellas Verona, with a score of 0-0.
On the other hand, Inter Milan has been the most consistent and the best team in Serie A this season. Although they had some problems at the beginning, the team has managed to maintain its level, and thanks to that, they are leading the standings.
The Nerazzurri have a record of 20 wins, seven draws, and three defeats, with 67 goals scored and 28 conceded. They have everything they need to claim the Scudetto again this season. However, they cannot take their foot off the gas, as Atalanta is only three points behind. Inter are coming off three straight wins, the most recent being against Udinese with a score of 3-1.
For this match, our winner’s chip is on Inter Milan 1-0.

The Rossoneri have been an extremely inconsistent team this season, and their current position shows it. Milan currently sits ninth in the standings with a record of 13 wins, eight draws, and nine losses, with 45 goals scored and 35 conceded. While this is a positive record, Milan has not been able to maintain a consistent level of play, to the point that they come to this matchday 31 after three defeats and two wins in the last five games.
Milan comes from an away defeat against Napoli with a score of 1-2.
On the other hand, Fiorentina has been going from strength to strength this season. With a positive run in the last few weeks, the team has managed to climb up the standings, getting closer to the European places.
Fiore comes into matchday 31 in eighth place in the table, with a record of 15 wins, six draws, and nine defeats, with 47 goals scored and 30 conceded. La Viola had been having problems winning in a row, but they have woken up and come from two consecutive victories, the most recent one against Atalanta, with a score of 1-0.
A very even and disputed match is expected, so our prediction is a draw on the scoreboard.
Milan vs. Fiorentina Betting Pick: Draw

Atalanta had been Inter Milan’s foremost chaser at the top of the standings, but two consecutive losses in their most recent matches have relegated them to third place. Right now,DEA has a record of 17 wins, seven draws, and six defeats, with 63 goals scored and 29 conceded. If we take a closer look, they have similar scoring records to Inter Milan, but their defensive inconsistency in recent matches keeps them on a negative streak.
As we mentioned, Atalanta is coming from losing two games in a row, the most recent one being against Fiorentina, with a score of 0-1.
On the other hand, Lazio has not been able to be that strong and decisive team of previous seasons, but they are in a solid position to fight for European positions. Currently, the team from the Italian capital is in seventh place, with a record of 15 wins, seven draws, and eight defeats, with 51 goals scored and 42 conceded.
As we can see, Atalanta’s defense has been playing at a low level, and if they want to win against such a strong opponent as Atalanta, they will have to change course and approach as soon as possible. Lazio have only won 1 of their last five games, the most recent being a draw against Torino with a 1-1 score.
That said, we expect Atalanta to respect their home ground and take all three points winning by 2-0.
Atalanta vs. Lazio Betting Pick: Atalanta

Roma had a complicated first few weeks of the season. They were even in the middle of the standings. However, they had found the rhythm and a formula that would lead them to victory.Currently, Roma is sixth in the table, with a record of 15 wins, seven draws, eight defeats, 45 goals scored, and 30 conceded.
The team from the Italian capital is in an exceptional level of play at this moment of the campaign, as they are coming from winning five games in a row, the most recent one being against Lecce, with a score of 1-0.
On the other hand, Juventus have not been playing very well all season either, but their high level in the last few weeks has pushed them up to fifth place in the table, only one point behind Bologna.
The Vecchia Signora has a record of 14 wins, 13 draws, and two defeats, with 46 goals scored and 28 conceded. Juve has lost many points in draws, but they are still in the fight to enter the TOP 4 of the standings. The Bianconeri come from an excellent victory at home against Genoa, with a score of 1-0.
We expect a hard-fought match, but with Roma stepping up to get the win at home 2-1.
Roma vs. Juventus Betting Pick: Roma
