Serie A Tips: Back Juventus to win and high scoring capital clash

Jose Mourinho – AS Roma
Mourinho & Roma need a win but Inter rarely lose

Roma have lost three of their last five league outings, with pressure beginning to mount on Jose Mourinho after a 1-0 defeat at Bologna in midweek.

Serie A continues with an exciting round of action and Chloe Beresford is back with another three selections for the upcoming matches in Italy's top flight...

Capital goals

AS Roma v Inter

The arrival of Simone Inzaghi to replace Antonio Conte has not hindered the relentless pace of Inter, who have now lost just three of their last 33 away games in the league. They are currently on a seven-match unbeaten streak during which they have been winning at both half time and full time in their last three Serie A matches.

Meanwhile, Roma have lost three of their last five league outings, with pressure beginning to mount on Jose Mourinho after a 1-0 defeat at Bologna in midweek. That game marked the first time in eight games that the Giallorossi have failed to score, while Inter have hit the back of the net in each of their last 12 matches.

It is interesting to note that the over 2.5 goals tally has been hit in each of the last five meetings between these two at the Stadio Olimpico, with the last three all ending in 2-2 draws. So with that in mind, the tip here is to back Both Teams to Score and No Draw: Yes, a market that is currently available at odds of 2.26/5.

Spezia struggling to survive

Given they have lost each of their last three games, it is easy to see why Spezia now sit 17th in the table. Only Venezia and Salernitana have scored fewer goals, while no team in Serie A has conceded more than their tally of 34 in just 15 rounds of action.

They are unlikely to find an encounter with Sassuolo any easier, with the Neroverdi having scored two or more goals in eight of their last 10 away matches and seeing over 2.5 goals in all 10 of those fixtures. With that in mind, the tip here is to take Sassuolo to win and over 2.5 goals at odds of 2.89/5.

Juve to grind out a win

Juventus v Genoa

It has undoubtedly been a tough start to the season for Juventus, but they have slowly begun to grind out results. The Bianconeri have won three of their last four games, but it must be noted that those matches each saw fewer than 2.5 goals, meaning this could well be another low scoring encounter in Turin.

Adding to that is the fact that their opponents on Sunday are Genoa, a side who have drawn each of their last three away matches and have failed to score in their last three matches overall.

Armed with that knowledge, the tip here is to back Juventus to win and under 2.5 goals, a market available at 3.39/4.
