Serie A Matchday 19 – Schedule, Odds, and Predictions

Bologna vs Atalanta

Atalanta will visit the Renato Dall’Ara Stadium to face Bologna on January 7, 2026. This Serie A game will start at 12:30 p.m. ET.

Standings

Bologna ranks 7th in the Serie A table.

Atalanta has secured the 8th position in the standings.

Prediction

Bologna and Atalanta are ranked in successive positions, and the competition is tough. Technically, they are similar in terms of this season’s record. However, despite the close contest, there is a slight chance that Bologna will win. For their last five games, Atalanta has been more consistent than Bologna. They have won three of their last five games, whereas Bologna has won none in the same span. This highlights Bologna’s inconsistency in the recent matches. But Bologna has a strong defense and scores more often, too. On the other hand, Atalanta has a lower goal difference. Although Bologna had never won in their last five games, they have a better quality. They also get to play at home this time, which further strengthens the team. Seeing the chances, Bologna has a strong likelihood, but the game will still be close. So, Bologna will win in this game.

Napoli vs Verona

Napoli and Verona will face each other in the upcoming Serie A clash on January 7, 2026. This Serie A game is scheduled for 12:30 p.m. ET at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium.

Standings

Napoli is ranked in 3rd position in the Serie A standings.

Verona is in 20th place in the Serie A table.

Prediction

Napoli is serious about getting another consecutive title after the 2024-25 title. They have a strong record and are at the top of the league. Napoli has won in four of their last five games. With 37 points in the table, Napoli has a strong chance of winning the upcoming game. Additionally, they have a strong defense and a strong scoring front, earning a +37 goal differential. Out of the 26 scores they scored, they have conceded only 13 of them. Conversely, Verona had the poorest performance in the league. They managed to win only two games, lose nine, and draw six. Literally ranking last in the league, Verona has one of the poorest scoring forms. They have scored around 13 goals in 13 games, while conceding only 28. So, there is no way that Verona could outscore Napoli. Hence, Napoli will win in this game.

Parma vs Inter Milan

Parma and Inter Milan will face each other in the upcoming Serie A game on January 7, 2026. This Serie A game will start at 02:45 p.m. ET at Ennio Tardini Stadium.

Standings

Parma is in 15th spot in the Serie A league table.

Inter Milan is first in the league rankings.

Prediction

Parma is in the bottom half of the table and has a relatively poor current form. Over 17 matches, they have won 4, drawn 6, and lost 7. Their negative goal differential of -7 indicates their inability to block elite offensive sides. But they have a good drawing potential even against solid teams. They get to play at their home venue this time, which might be a deal-breaker for the visitors. Their recent results suggest they are not consistent enough to face Inter Milan, despite their home-venue advantage. If we looked at Inter Milan, they have a more solid current form. Mainly, they lead the league with 39 points and a threatening league record. The stark contrast between Inter Milan’s first place and Parma’s poor position suggests a positive situation for Inter Milan. Therefore, Inter Milan is the predicted winner for this game.

Lazio vs Fiorentina

Lazio welcomes Fiorentina on January 7, 2026. This Serie A game will start at 02:45 p.m. ET at Stadio Olimpico, where Lazio has home advantage.

Standings

Lazio is ranked 9th in the league standings.

Fiorentina is in the relegation zone in 18th position.

Prediction

Lazio enters this matchup with an edge due to their better overall performance and home venue advantage. They have a fairly average record of 6-6-6, which is still higher than Fiorentina’s underwhelming record. They have not lost in their last five games. Regarding strengths, they have good ball movement and a fluid rhythm. Moreover, Lazio’s home form is significantly good this season. On the other hand, Fiorentina is struggling to escape the relegation zone. They have won only two games and lost around ten. They remained winless until game 15, which strongly suggests they are not potent enough. Defensively, they have one of the worst sides, having allowed 28 goals. This can be easily penetrated by Lazio’s sharp attacking and ball movement. So, Lazio has the winning probability in this matchup against Fiorentina.

AC Milan vs Genoa

AC Milan will welcome Genoa on January 9, 2026, at the renowned San Siro Stadium. This game will begin at 02:45 p.m. ET.

Standings

AC Milan is ranked in 2nd place in the standings.

Genoa struggles near the relegation zone at 17th rank.

Prediction

AC Milan has a clear advantage, simply because of their unshakable form and 2nd-place league ranking. They have remained undefeated for five consecutive games, a strong positive factor. Apart from that, AC Milan has a top-tier quality and squad depth. They effectively create chances and execute flawlessly. Their defensive front is also excellent, which Genoa might struggle to overcome. If we look at Genoa, they show an underwhelming form. Their record is far inferior, and they are incapable of beating AC Milan away from home. Technically, both their offense and defense are ineffective against AC Milan. They have allowed 28 goals, the second-highest total so far this season. Lastly, Genoa has not won any of the last four games. Against AC Milan’s powerful form, Genoa might struggle to secure a win or even a draw. So, AC Milan is the pick here.
