How to predict Serie A matches
After analyzing the key figures of the Series A, let's talk about the other factors in the Italian football league. First, it will be imperative to analyze the form of the key players involved in each match.
The next factor is the real stake of the match on which you bet. For example, a bet on the 'Over 2.5 goals' market will have a chance to come true in a match between two teams at the bottom of the table or agame between two sides at the top of the table. Before placing your bet on the Serie A, be sure to check out the Serie A league table. For example, last season the bottom three teams conceded 250 goals between them.
Finally, it will be necessary to compare the odds offered by bookmakers on the A match of your choice. As we are sure you already know, the many bookmakers on the online market can offer different odds for the same bet on the same match - whether you want to bet on Juventus, Napoli, Lazio, Roma, Fiorentina, Inter Milan or AC Milan, you will find various odds values which can boost your winnings.
For example, in a match that sees Juventus hosting Lazio, the odds on a home win may be 1.66 (4/6) at William Hill but 1.7 (7/10) at bet 365. Also look out for any special promotions that may give you enhanced odds on the match.
