23/09/20 4023

Round 2 of the new season in Italy's Serie A will be played this weekend. The big question ahead of us is will Juventus once again bring the Scuddetto in Turin.

Cagliari Calcio - Lazio

Lazio will start their new campaign with a match against Cagliari Calcio on Saturday.

Cagliari have been on the losing side in 5 of the 6 most recent encounters against this rival, so a win here is doubtful.

• Cagliari are on a poor run of just 3 wins in 25 matches (Serie A).
• Lazio are undefeated against Cagliari Calcio in their last 12 league games.
• Lazio have achieved 10 wins of their 12 most recent encounters with Cagliari Calcio in Serie A.
• Lazio have scored at least two goals in 23 of their last 33 Serie A games.
• Prediction: Lazio @ 1.78

Inter Milano - Fiorentina

Inter Milano will play their opening match against Fiorentina - a team who have much to improve in their game from the last season.

Inter Milano's goal for this season is to be as compatitive as they can be, in order to win the Scuddetto, leaving Juventus empty handed.

• Inter are unbeaten in 28 of their last 31 matches in Serie A.
• No defeats can be found in Inter Milano's 8 most recent games in Serie A.
• Fiorentina have won their last 3 league games.
• Fiorentina have managed to win by 2 or more goals in 4 of their 7 most recent matches (Serie A).
• Prediction: Inter Milano @ 1.55

Hellas Verona - Udinese Calcio

Next, we have a tense encounter between Hellas Verona and Udinese Calcio, both teams having high hopes for this match.

One thing we should point out is that in the previous 6 meeting between the two the home side have managed to take only 3 points from three draws.

• Hellas Verona haven't lost in 10 of their last 12 home matches in Serie A.
• In their last 10 games in Serie A, Hellas Verona have recorded only 1 wins.
• Udinese have no losses against Hellas Verona in their 7 most recent matches in Serie A.
• Udinese Calcio have drawn in 8 of their last 14 meetings with Hellas Verona in Serie A.
• Prediction: Draw @ 3.18

SSC Napoli - Genoa

SSC Napoli host Genoa in a match, which looks like a pretty straightforward win for the home side.

Although Napoli are linked as favourites, Genoa will be looking for an improbable result.

• Napoli are unbeaten in their last 7 home Serie A games.
• SSC Napoli haven't lost a match in 13 of their last 16 matches in Serie A.
• Genoa are on a poor run of just 3 wins in 19 away matches (Serie A).
• Over 2.5 goals have been seen in 15 of Genoa's last 16 matches in Serie A.
• Prediction: SSC Napoli @ 1.36
