Sunday's Serie A predictions including Napoli vs. AC Milan

Sports Mole provides score predictions for all of Sunday's Serie A matches, including Napoli vs. AC Milan.


Fiorentina vs. Benevento (Sunday, 11.30am)

Benevento will be looking to bring an end to their four-match losing streak in Serie A when they take on Fiorentina at the Stadio Artemio Franchi on Sunday.

The visitors have slipped down to 16th place but are just two points behind Fiorentina, who are playing for the first time under new head coach Cesar Prandelli.

We say: Fiorentina 1-0 Benevento


Fiorentina are embarking on another new chapter and will be eager to get off to a winning start under Prandelli.

The hosts may have gone two games without a win and a goal, ultimately leading to Iachini's exit, but this is the perfect match for them to put that right against a badly out of form Benevento side.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 1.5 goals.

Inter Milan vs. Torino (Sunday, 2.00pm)

Inter Milan look to kick-start a stuttering Serie A campaign on Sunday, as they welcome struggling Torino to San Siro, with victory the only acceptable result for Antonio Conte's side.

Their visitors from Turin entered the international break with a much-needed four points from their two most recent games, but have it all to do if they are to rise above the lower reaches of the table.

We say: Inter Milan 3-1 Torino


On the horizon, Inter have an imminent clash of galactic proportions - with Real Madrid on their way to San Siro next Wednesday - and in the rear-view mirror is a jam-packed international period with their players flung far and wide across the globe.

Nonetheless, their impressive squad depth and improving defensive record should help make light work of under-performing Torino, for whom coach Marco Giampaolo is on borrowed time.

Our tipster partners are predicting a home win.

Roma vs. Parma (Sunday, 2.00pm)

Hoping not to have lost momentum since Serie A was interrupted by the return of international football, high-flying Roma host success-starved Parma at Stadio Olimpico on Sunday.

Fabio Liverani's Parma are hunting for their first league win since a third day victory against Verona, while the Giallorossi are now in pursuit of four wins on the spin, having sandwiched another positive Europa League result between impressive dismissals of Fiorentina and Genoa just before the break.

We say: Roma 2-0 Parma


Goal-shy Parma take on the might of free-scoring Roma so there is only one probable result amid the echoing surrounds of the cavernous Olimpico.

Fonseca's flyers can still thrive in the absence of Edin Dzeko, with several others capable of unsettling Parma's ageing back four - the visitors' search for an overdue Serie A win will go on.

Our tipster partners are predicting over 2.5 goals.

Sampdoria vs. Bologna (Sunday, 2.00pm)

Sampdoria play host to Bologna on Sunday afternoon looking to bounce back from their first defeat in five matches before the international break.

Meanwhile, Bologna travel to the Luigi Ferraris Stadium having lost four of their last five games in Serie A, a run which has left the club in 14th position in the table.

We say: Sampdoria 1-1 Bologna


Both clubs will view this as an opportunity to make headway up the standings, particularly in the case of the home side who can move to within touching distance of the top six. However, Bologna were much improved in their last outing, and we feel that they will build on that performance this weekend.

Our tipster partners are predicting a double chance bet on a home win or an away win.

Hellas Verona vs. Sassuolo (Sunday, 2.00pm)

Sassuolo face Hellas Verona at Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi on Sunday afternoon looking to extend their unbeaten Serie A streak to eight games.

Meanwhile, the home side head into this fixture having put together a four-match undefeated run of their own, moving them up to eighth position in the standings.

We say: Hellas Verona 1-2 Sassuolo


In a match pitting the division's best attack against the strongest backline, something has to give. Motivated by drawing a blank against Udinese, we feel that Sassuolo will come out firing on all cylinders to remain in the top two of the table.

Our tipster partners are predicting a double chance bet on a draw or an away win.

Udinese vs. Genoa (Sunday, 5.00pm)

An early-season Serie A 'six-pointer' kicks off in Udine on Sunday evening as Udinese welcome Genoa to the Dacia Arena.

Luca Gotti's hosts have picked up just one point in the last three rounds of action and are already facing a season-long fight for salvation, while the visiting Ligurians sit just above them in the relegation zone.

We say: Udinese 2-1 Genoa


There is little to split these two toiling teams on their Serie A form to date. However, home advantage and a formidable recent record against the visitors should give Udinese the slight advantage in this bottom-of-the-table clash.

Expect the Zebrette's Argentine trio and their all-Italian centre-forward options - Stefano Okaka and Kevin Lasagna - to plunder a crucial goal or two against Genoa's unreliable defence.

Our tipster partners are predicting a double chance bet on a home win or an away win.

Napoli vs. AC Milan (Sunday, 7.45pm)

A welcome return to Serie A action reaches its zenith on Sunday evening as league leaders AC Milan visit Napoli at the grand old Stadio San Paolo with their head coach left self-isolating at home.

Gennaro Gattuso's hosts can join Milan on 17 points with a win, but the Rossoneri's long unbeaten streak will not be broken easily, even in the absence of increasingly popular boss Stefano Pioli.

We say: Napoli 2-2 AC Milan


Just the sort of big-time clash needed to relaunch Sunday night Serie A after the international break and expectations are sky-high for an entertaining encounter in Naples.

Both sides boast an array of attacking talents - though Rafael Leao and Victor Osimhen unfortunately miss out - so the most probable outcome is a score draw, which either side would be happy to take - even if they would not freely admit it.

Our tipster partners are predicting a double chance bet on a home win or an away win.
