Italian Serie A Predictions – September 4-7, 2026
Looking for the best Serie A predictions, Italian football betting tips and Matchweek 3 best bets? Rocketman Sports breaks down every Serie A fixture with projected scores, current betting prices, 1X2 selections, totals and value-based football analysis.
Serie A remains one of the world’s most important football competitions, featuring globally recognized clubs such as Inter Milan, AC Milan, Juventus, Napoli, Roma, Atalanta and Lazio.
Those famous names attract enormous betting action.
That does not mean they should automatically be bet at any price.
Rocketman Sports looks for the difference between:
Who is most likely to win?
and:
Which available wager offers the best betting value?
Those are not always the same thing.
Our Serie A predictions use both American and decimal odds whenever practical so bettors in the United States and football bettors around the world can use the same analysis.

Best Serie A Bet: Roma vs Atalanta
Pick: Roma Moneyline
Target Price: 1.72 (-139) or Better
Projected Score: Roma 2, Atalanta 0
Roma has been the most impressive Serie A team through the first two rounds.
The club has opened with consecutive 4-0 victories.
That means:
8 goals scored.
0 goals conceded.
Roma has combined attacking efficiency with excellent defensive organization.
Donyell Malen has been particularly dangerous early in the season, while Paulo Dybala continues to provide creativity.
Atalanta is also perfect through two rounds.
But its victories have been considerably tighter.
Atalanta defeated Sassuolo 2-1 and Bologna 1-0.
The visitors also enter this matchup dealing with several personnel concerns.
Roma deserves to be favored.
The key is price.
We can find approximately -139 rather than paying -150 or higher.
At 1.72 decimal, Roma does not need to win at an unreasonable percentage to justify the wager.
Our projected final:
Roma 2, Atalanta 0.
Rocketman Serie A Pick: Roma ML -139 or better.
Genoa vs Como Prediction
Pick: Como Moneyline
Target Price: 1.82 (-122) or Better
Projected Score: Genoa 0, Como 2
Como has become one of the most interesting clubs in Italian football.
The early-season results support the optimism.
Como opened by drawing 1-1 at Udinese and then produced one of the biggest results of Matchweek 2 by defeating Napoli 2-1 away from home.
Genoa has experienced the opposite start.
The club enters this match:
0 points.
0 goals scored.
Genoa lost 2-0 against Napoli and followed that with a 1-0 defeat against Lazio.
The recent head-to-head results also favor Como.
Since these clubs returned to the same Serie A level, Genoa has struggled to defeat this opponent.
Our handicapping approach tells us not to be afraid of laying a reasonable road price when the market still has not fully caught up with an improving team.
Our projected score:
Genoa 0, Como 2.
Rocketman Pick: Como ML at 1.82 (-122) or better.
Fiorentina vs Torino Prediction
Pick: Draw
Target Price: 3.40 (+240) or Better
Projected Score: Fiorentina 1, Torino 1
Few teams have been more disappointing than Fiorentina through two rounds.
Fiorentina has opened with:
0 goals scored.
7 goals conceded.
The Viola lost 4-0 against Roma and 3-0 against promoted Frosinone.
Yet Fiorentina remains approximately a -110 favorite.
That is a major example of reputation competing with current performance.
Torino has also opened 0-2.
But Torino has at least scored in both defeats.
We are not interested in backing either struggling team at a short price.
The draw provides approximately +240.
Our projected final:
Fiorentina 1, Torino 1.
Rocketman Pick: Draw +240 or better.
Inter Milan vs Napoli Prediction
Pick: Inter Milan Moneyline
Target Price: 1.65 (-154) or Better
Projected Score: Inter 2, Napoli 1
Inter-Napoli is one of the biggest Serie A matches of the weekend.
Inter enters with a perfect 2-0 record.
The Nerazzurri opened with a 4-1 victory against Monza before earning a 1-0 road victory against Cagliari.
Napoli opened with a 2-0 victory against Genoa but then suffered a surprising 2-1 home defeat against Como.
Napoli also enters the match dealing with important absences.
That matters considerably when traveling to San Siro against an Inter team that has allowed only one goal.
The historical rivalry between these teams has been extremely competitive.
That prevents us from treating Inter as a massive favorite.
But around -154, we still believe the home side provides enough value.
Our projected score:
Inter Milan 2, Napoli 1.
Rocketman Pick: Inter ML at 1.65 (-154) or better.
Parma vs Monza Prediction
Pick: Over 2.5 Goals
Target Price: 2.38 (+138) or Better
Projected Score: Parma 2, Monza 1
Parma has failed to score through two matches.
Normally that would push bettors toward an Under.
Monza changes the equation.
Monza has conceded seven goals in two games.
The club lost 4-1 to Inter and 3-2 to Udinese.
That makes this a potential get-right matchup for the Parma attack.
Monza has also scored three times itself, meaning it is capable of contributing to the total.
The market is giving us plus money on Over 2.5.
That is what makes this wager interesting.
Our projected final:
Parma 2, Monza 1.
Rocketman Pick: Over 2.5 at +138 or better.
Frosinone vs Venezia Prediction
Pick: Frosinone Moneyline
Target Price: 2.70 (+170) or Better
Projected Score: Frosinone 1, Venezia 0
This is one of the most interesting underdog prices of Matchweek 3.
Frosinone enters after beating Fiorentina 3-0 on the road.
Venezia enters after losing its first two matches by identical 2-0 scores.
Venezia has:
0 points.
0 goals.
Yet Venezia is still the slight betting favorite.
That immediately gets our attention.
Sometimes the sportsbook is telling you that underlying team ratings matter more than two early results.
But at approximately +170, we are being paid enough to take the team demonstrating stronger current form.
Our projection:
Frosinone 1, Venezia 0.
Rocketman Pick: Frosinone ML +170 or better.
Bologna vs Sassuolo Prediction
Pick: Bologna Moneyline
Target Price: 1.98 (-102) or Better
Projected Score: Bologna 1, Sassuolo 0
Bologna enters 0-2 and has yet to score.
That does not look attractive at first glance.
But context matters.
The club lost 1-0 against Lazio and then suffered another 1-0 defeat against Atalanta.
Those are not disastrous performances.
The market has Bologna essentially around even money at home against Sassuolo.
Sassuolo earned its first victory against Torino but remains a volatile defensive team.
This is not one of our strongest wagers of the weekend.
But at approximately even money:
Rocketman Pick: Bologna ML -102 or better.
Juventus vs AC Milan Prediction
Pick: Draw
Target Price: 3.35 (+235) or Better
Projected Score: Juventus 1, AC Milan 1
This is the marquee match of Sunday’s Serie A schedule.
Both Juventus and AC Milan enter:
2-0.
Both clubs have also demonstrated excellent defensive form.
Juventus has allowed no goals through two matches.
Milan’s defense has also been strong.
The head-to-head history is particularly important.
Juventus has not conceded against Milan in the last five meetings between the clubs.
That makes this exactly the type of matchup where both managers may prioritize avoiding the first defeat of the season.
Juventus is available around +105.
Milan is approximately +250 to +270.
The draw is available as high as approximately +235.
We prefer the draw.
Our projected final:
Juventus 1, AC Milan 1.
Rocketman Pick: Draw at 3.35 (+235) or better.
Cagliari vs Lecce Prediction
Pick: Cagliari Moneyline
Target Price: 1.98 (-102) or Better
Projected Score: Cagliari 1, Lecce 0
Cagliari has played two extremely low-scoring league matches.
The club beat Parma 1-0 and then lost 1-0 against Inter.
Lecce opened with a 2-0 victory against Venezia before being overwhelmed 4-0 by Roma.
Cagliari has the home-field advantage and can be backed near even money.
The primary concern is fixture congestion.
That is why we do not want to chase the price if Cagliari becomes heavily favored.
Our projection:
Cagliari 1, Lecce 0.
Rocketman Pick: Cagliari ML -102 or better.
Udinese vs Lazio Prediction
Pick: Lazio Moneyline
Target Price: 2.60 (+160) or Better
Projected Score: Udinese 0, Lazio 1
Lazio provides another attractive plus-money opportunity.
The club has opened the season with consecutive 1-0 victories.
That means Lazio enters Matchweek 3 with:
6 points.
2 clean sheets.
Udinese is unbeaten, so this is not an easy road spot.
But Lazio is still available around +145 to +160 depending on the sportsbook.
At the high end of that range, the price becomes appealing.
We expect another controlled, lower-scoring Lazio performance.
Our projected final:
Udinese 0, Lazio 1.
Rocketman Pick: Lazio ML +160 or better.
Best Serie A Bets for Matchweek 3
If we narrow the full Italian schedule to our strongest early positions:
- Roma ML -139 or better vs Atalanta
- Como ML -122 or better at Genoa
- Juventus-AC Milan Draw +235 or better
- Frosinone ML +170 or better vs Venezia
- Lazio ML +160 or better at Udinese
- Inter ML -154 or better vs Napoli
Best Serie A Favorite
Roma -139 or better against Atalanta.
Roma has scored eight goals without conceding through two matches and remains available at a considerably more reasonable price than a typical dominant favorite.
Best Serie A Road Favorite
Como -122 or better at Genoa.
Como is improving rapidly while Genoa enters without a point or a goal.
Best Serie A Draw Bet
Juventus vs AC Milan Draw +235 or better.
Two perfect records, strong defenses and a recent head-to-head series dominated by low-scoring results make the draw particularly attractive.
Best Serie A Underdog
Frosinone +170 or better against Venezia.
Frosinone has already recorded an impressive 3-0 road victory while Venezia has yet to score or earn a point.
Best Serie A Plus-Money Favorite
Lazio +160 or better at Udinese.
Lazio enters with consecutive victories and consecutive clean sheets.

Why Serie A Can Be Valuable for Soccer Bettors
Serie A has traditionally had a reputation for defensive football.
Modern Italian football is more varied.
Some clubs still prioritize tactical structure and defensive organization.
Others play much more aggressively.
That creates opportunities in:
- 1X2 betting
- Asian Handicaps
- Draw betting
- Over/Under markets
- Both Teams to Score
- Alternative totals
The important thing is not to treat every Italian match as automatically low scoring.
Betting Juventus, Inter and AC Milan
Juventus, Inter Milan and AC Milan attract large amounts of public betting action.
That creates the same issue we frequently see with Real Madrid, Barcelona, Liverpool and Manchester United.
The famous club may be the most likely winner.
But the market knows that bettors want to back that club.
The result can be an inflated price.
Our job is to determine whether the favorite still offers enough value after that public premium has been incorporated into the line.
What Does 1X2 Mean in Serie A Betting?
Traditional European football betting uses three outcomes.
1 = Home Team Win
X = Draw
2 = Away Team Win
The draw is why European football moneyline prices are different from traditional two-way American sports markets.
Why Draw Betting Matters in Serie A
The draw can be one of the most valuable parts of an Italian football betting card.
A draw priced at +235 represents a very different risk/reward profile than laying -150 on either club.
When two defensively strong teams are closely matched, the draw deserves serious consideration.
Juventus-Milan is the strongest example this week.
Serie A Asian Handicap Betting
Asian Handicap markets allow bettors to reduce or eliminate the traditional draw.
Common Serie A handicaps include:
- +0.25
- +0.5
- +0.75
- +1
- -0.25
- -0.5
- -0.75
- -1
These markets can be useful when we like an underdog but want protection against a draw.
Serie A Over/Under Betting
Goal totals provide another way to bet Italian football without selecting a winner.
For example, Parma-Monza interests us because Monza’s first two matches have featured ten combined goals.
The Over 2.5 price is also plus money.
Price makes that wager much more attractive than blindly betting Overs in every match.
How Rocketman Sports Makes Serie A Predictions
Our Italian football analysis considers:
- Current league form
- Home and away performance
- Recent scoring
- Defensive efficiency
- Expected goals
- Starting lineups
- Injuries and suspensions
- Schedule congestion
- European competition
- Head-to-head matchup history
- Public perception
- Betting market movement
- Current price
The final factor is critical.
A prediction tells us what we believe will happen.
The odds determine whether it is worth betting.
