With this season’s Serie A title chase looking like it will go down to the wire, Italy’s elite will steal all of the attention on Saturday.
With four Serie A showdowns on the cards this weekend, Atalanta’s heavyweight trip to Lazio will certainly prove to be a fiery affair from the Stadio Olimpico.
Ahead of a stacked Saturday schedule, we have taken a look at two of the most appealing Serie A betting tips that are available.
17:00 Cagliari vs Inter Milan
Storming their way to a 25th Serie A title last season and breaking a string of domestic records, Inter Milan have simply continued on from where they left off prior to the summer interval. Last seen claiming a routine 2-0 victory against Como, the defending champions have won each of their previous three appearances across all competitions. Laying down a remarkable marker on December 16th as they stormed their way to an iconic 6-0 romp away at Lazio, Simone Inzaghi’s side will be hoping for a repeat performance here. Gaining a reputation for their free-scoring performances in the final third, Saturday’s guests have not suffered a single domestic defeat since the end of September. Pencilled in as a landslide contender this weekend, Milan have also continued to shine with their success away from the San Siro. Including a 5-0 victory against Verona last month, Inzaghi’s side have won six of their previous seven battles on the road.
While Cagliari might have eventually clung to their Serie A status last season, the Islanders have a real heavyweight battle on their hands. Falling to what could prove to be a costly 2-1 loss against Venezia last time out, Saturday’s hosts find themselves sat in the relegation zone and tipped as a leading bottom-three candidate. Crashing out of the Coppa Italia on December 17th as they fell to a 4-0 drumming away at Juventus, Davide Nicola’s side have lost each of their last four appearances across all competitions by an aggregate score of 8-1. Getting December underway with a 1-0 defeat against Fiorentina, Cagliari have recorded just a sole win from any of their last 10 matchups – a run that stems all the way back to October 20th. Likewise, claiming just a single Serie A clean sheet since the opening weekend, Nicola’s side couldn’t have asked for a tougher challenge.

19:45 Lazio vs Atalanta
Making real history last season as they stormed their way to a maiden piece of European silverware, Atalanta have continued on a remarkable fairytale. Last seen claiming an action-packed 3-2 victory at home against Empoli, La Dea are riding what has quickly become a sensational wave of momentum. Opening Saturday’s trip to the Stadio Olimpico holding a two-point buffer at the top of the Serie A table, Gian Piero Gasperini’s men find the mood in their camp at a red-hot high. Extending on Shri Coppa Italia adventure earlier in the month as they stormed their way to a 6-1 romp against Cesena, Atalanta have won 12 of their 13 appearances across all competitions. With that history-making flurry stemming all the way back to October 23rd, Saturday’s guests will be looking to collect another heavyweight scalp here. It should also be highlighted, La Dea have won each of their last eight consecutive showdowns outside of Bergamo.
Coming under a huge amount of scrutiny earlier in the month as they fell to an infamous 6-0 drumming at home against historic rivals Inter Milan, Lazio claimed an immediate response last time out. Dragging themselves to a 2-1 victory away at relegation scrappers Leece, Marco Baroni’s men have their sights firmly set on clinching a Champions League ticket in 2025. Embarking on what has been a sensational Europa League romp this season and already breezing their way to a quarter-final ticket, Saturday’s hosts have won four of their previous five appearances across all competitions. However, despite being sat in the driving seat to punch a lucrative top-four finish, Lazio will be concerned by their most recent showdown against La Dea. Slumping to a 3-1 loss when they travelled to Bergamo back in February, the former Verona boss should be bracing himself for another stern examination this weekend.
