Analysis:

It's results in seven straight for Juve since Luciano Spalletti was appointed manager in late October and no better time to get another on Sunday in a slow and steady climb up the Serie A table and perhaps into European qualifying territory. Spalletti's recent form chart also shows two unbeaten in the Champs League, which renews again on Wednesday vs. Pafos, finding goals lately from Kekan Vildiz and Filip Kostic to fuel the offense...and one goal might be all the Old Lady needs on Sunday. Meanwhile Antonio Conte's brand of anti-football at Napoli has resulted in getting blanked three times in seven, suggesting this one is ripe for Juve to at least get a result. Juve on Asian Spread +0.25 goals

Analysis:

These sides really do have a lot in common: they don't score a lot of goals and they're involved in lots of draws. As for the goals, they've dried up for Fiorentina as Moise Kean (19 goals last season, 2 thus far in the new campaign) has vanished as a threat in front of the goal, while La Viola's finishing has disappeared. Shot quality has also been down at Atalanta, which is one reason Ivan Juric is out and Raffaele Palladino is in behind the bench. As these sides have an astounding 13 draws between, they look fit to be tied in Bergamo. Play Fiorentina on Spread

Analysis:

What a downer for Fiorentina after punching above its weight so admirably a season ago. Now La Viola simply can't score goals and not just in Serie A, even getting blanked by AEK Athens on Thursday in Conference League action. Fiorentina's finishing has vanished, with just ten goals in twelve matches. Set pieces have collapsed and Moise Kean, who scored 19 goals a season ago, has all but disappeared as a target man, scoring just twice. Atalanta is not having an easy go, either, just two wins in twelve while drawing an astounding seven times, as Ivan Juric wasn't able to replicate the swashbuckling identity of Gian Piero Gasperini's Atalanta and has been replaced by Raffaele Palladino. recent sides.

Analysis:

Do we dare go under 1.5 goals? In Serie A, there are a handful of matches each weekend that look candidates for the nil-nil, and this matchup in Genova is definitely one of those. We don't think either can escape the gravity pull of the other, so we we'd use the draw if we could, but these sides have combined for just one win in twelve matchdays for each. Nil-nil is always on the table for Verona, on only seven goals in eleven matches, though might watch the Brazilian Giovane, with goals in two of the last three games. Genoa have shown life since Daniele De Rossi replaced Patrick Vieira on the bench, but could be dragged into the muck by Verona. Play Genoa-Verona Under

Analysis:

Milan derbies were tightly contested last season, five spread out among different competitions, with AC Milan winning three of those. Worth noting, even as Inter is progressing just a bit better in the Serie A table at the moment. Cristian Chivu, however, has some injury concerns for Inter, among them lively Dutch winger Denzel Dumfries. The Christian Pulisic-Rafa Leo AC Milan frontline might prove just unorthodox enough to give Inter some headaches. Play AC Milan on Spread

Analysis:

If Juve can't get all three points in Florence, then Luciano Spalletti ought to keep going right past Turin and into Switzerland after the match as the fan base of the Old Lady won't tolerate a bad result here. That's because Fiorentina seem in crisis, still winless in eleven rounds of Serie A and anchored bottom of the table, and in the first game after Stefano Pioli was dismissed, La Viola could do no better than draw with a wretched Genoa that had recently sacked its own manager (Patrick Vieira). Juve is unbeaten in four under Spalletti, with hints that Dusan Valhovic is ready to assume target-man honors after his gal two weeks ago vs. Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League. Play Juve on ML

Analysis:

Verona hasn't been able to do much of anything right thus far...especially when it comes to scoring goals. Only five of those in nine matches, missing last year's top scorer Casper Tengstedt, now at Feyenoord. It's no wonder Verona is rooted in the Serie A drop zone. With Verona already at -9 goals thru nine weeks, the chance Inter can extend this scoreline looks promising, the offense back in gear for a 3-0 thrashing of Fiorentina at midweek after last weekend's bitter 30 loss at Napoli. Note that vet midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu has now scored goals (four total) in the past three games. Play Inter Milan on Spread

Unit1.0
Analysis:

The Luciano Spalletti era begins at Juve in the wake of Igotr Tudor's dismissal earlier this week. Tudor's dismissal, on the heels of an eight-game winless run, was not a surprise, and Juve did bounce back to snap that streak at midweek with a 3-1 win over Udinese under interim coach Massimo Brambilla. This won't be an easy test, however, as Cremonese has proved one of the surprises of the season in Serie A, losing just once in nine, and proving draw specialists, playing level five times already. Capable target man Federico Bonazzoli has scored four times already, with a brace midweek in the 2-0 win over Genoa. Play Cremonese on Spread

3-2 in Last 5 SERI O/U Picks
Analysis:

With the leakiest defense in Serie A (13 goals allowed), Torino might be stumbling onto something for Sunday when gifted foot-of-the-table Genoa at the Olimpico Grande. Genoa simply can't seem to find the net, just three goals scored in seven Serie A matches, blanked four time already, and off of a nil-nil vs. equally-sluggish Parma last week. That's the second nil-nil of the season for Genoa and might see another of those on Sunday. Though, more likely to score what would probably be a lone goal looks Toronto, which pushed one past Serie A leader Napoli when scoring an upset last week, and 3-3 vs. Lazio prior. Still, note that only four outfield players have scored in Torino's seven matches to date. Play Torino-Genoa Under

Analysis:

Since a slow start, Inter has hit overdrive for Cristian Chivu, unbeaten in eight and on four straight wins in Serie A (not to mention flying at 3-0 in the Champions League after the 4-0 romp past Union St._Gilloise at midweek). The Nerazzuri are getting goals from the old guard (Dumfries, Lautaro, and Calhanoglu all scored vs USG) but there's also new blood in 21-year old French striker Ange Yoan-Bonny, with either a goal or an assist (sometimes both!) in the last four matches. Meanwhile, Antonio Conte's Napoli is suddenly wobbling, laid out by a PSV Eindhoven haymaker 6-2 at midweek in the Champions League after Torino closed the gates in a 1-0 loss for Conte last weekend.

3-2 in Last 5 SERI O/U Picks
Analysis:

Now that we have a bit of a form chart in Serie A, we can more easily identify teams that present some real opportunities on the totals side...unders in particular. Meet Parma, which has scored goals in just two of its seven Serie A matches to date, and in just one of its last five league matches. Surely, Carlos Cuesta is looking with great envy at Inter Milan as it now features Ange-Yoan Bonny, who was Parma's leading scorer last term but now reunited with his former Parma manager Cristian Chivu. Meanwhile, Cesc Fabregas and his visiting Como are well-equipped to grind out a 1-0 type of result, though a nil-nil here wouldn't surprise. Play Parma-Como Under.

Analysis:

Where are the goals going to come from in this match? This looks the best bet for nil-nil all weekend not just in Serie A, but all of Europe, as neither Parma nor Genoa have any idea how they should be celebrating shots on goal, much less actual scores. Each has played six matches thus far, and each has scored a paltry three goals. Parma in particular must be looking longingly at departed striker Ange Yoan-Bonny, last year's leading goal scorer now doing his thing for Inter (and scoring the only game in Saturday's win at Roma).

Analysis:

Roma has started quickly in Serie A but a quick look at the fixture list suggests that things have broken very well for Gian Piero Gasperini. The toughest challenge faced by Roma, in the Europa vs. Lille two weeks ago, resulted in a 1-0 setback. Meanwhile, after a slow start in Serie A with early losses to Udinese and Juve, Inter has hit overdrive, winning five straight (including a pair of Champions League successes vs. Ajax and Slavia Prague), as the pressure has lessened on Cristian Chivu. Familiar faces Lautaro and Marcus Thuram are consistently on the scoresheet, and young frontliner Ange-Yoan Bonny flashed real upside in his starting debut vs. Cremonese, with a goal and a hat-trick of assists.
