Serie A Matchday 9 Matchups – Preview and Picks
We have given the Matchday 9 fixtures, including the team dynamics, players’ quality, and historical trends. With nine clashes in the matchday, these Serie A predictions and picks will elaborate on each club’s winning prospects. Let’s look at them. If you are a sports enthusiast, you need this.
Lecce vs Napoli
Reigning champion, SSC Napoli, will visit US Lecce at the Via del Mare Stadium. This Serie A game will start at 01:30 p.m. ET on October 28, 2025. Don’t miss the peak Serie A drama.
Lecce
Lecce is currently sitting at the 16th rank in the league table. With only two ranks near relegation, Lecce is obligated to win to survive. They have never won in their last five meetings against Napoli historically. As they got only a handful of points, Lecce must treat each upcoming match as their last chance. However, they had barely won in their last ten matches overall. The team frequently concedes in every match they play. Their previous match was a big setback to their short-lived unbeatable status. Having won only one out of their last five matches, Lecce is less likely to win this game.
Napoli
The champions of the previous season ride on the same wave as the 2024-25 season. After breaking their losing chain by beating Inter, Napoli now seeks to secure further points by crushing Lecce. Their last match was close, yet it became decisive in the second half. De Bruyne’s penalty was the cherry on top alongside Scott McTominay and Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa’s strikes. With a strong overall form, Napoli will face Lecce on the road. They also show a strong away form. Every single stat from both teams suggests a single decision favoring Napoli.
Prediction
SSC Napoli will beat Lecce at home, and a clean sheet is likely in this Serie A game.
Atalanta vs Milan
Atalanta AC and AC Milan are clashing on October 28, 2025. This Serie A clash will start at Gewiss Stadium, giving Atalanta a home advantage. The timing is at 03:45 p.m. ET.
Atalanta
Ranking 7th in the Serie A standings, Atalanta aims to enter the top 5. Currently, Atlanta is the only Serie A team that hasn’t lost this season yet. But they had quite a few draws. The team has lost only once since their new coach, suggesting their improved and sustained form. But at the same time, Atalanta is struggling to register defining victories. They have barely found the net in recent matches, showing their mixed offense. In short, the Atalanta might get a chance or two given their home advantage. However, their overall form is not ready to face Inter Milan’s fully developed squad.
AC Milan
Although AC Milan has lost most of its recent meetings with Atalanta, it remains strong this season. With a third-place finish, it heads to a clash with Atalanta with a solid league run. They lead Atalanta by five points with a huge marginal difference in the standings. Their last match was a failure against a relegation-likely Pisa. AC Milan’s away form is rock-solid, and it has had an unbeaten status for the past eight matches. Their overall form is also good enough for both the league and European contention. Having beaten Napoli, AC Milan has a well-rounded current form that will pierce Atalanta at home.
Prediction
The Serie A elite Napoli will win over Atalanta, securing an away win.
Como vs Verona
Como 1907 welcomes Hellas Verona FC on October 29, 2025, at Giuseppe Sinigaglia Stadium, Como. This Serie A event will start at 01:30 p.m. ET.
Como
Como enters with a far better record than Hellas Verona. They have a strong home record, winning four out of six home matches. Regarding away from home, Como won three matches out of five games. Historically, both teams seem to have a similar record with an equal number of Serie A wins. Comparatively, Como has a better league ranking. They have scored more than twice that of Verona, who sits at 17th spot. Playing at Giuseppe Sinigaglia Stadium, Como gets the home venue privilege. Having played over eight matches, Como has accumulated over nine goals. This shows their sparse scoring side.
Verona
Hellas Verona has no wins in this Serie A season so far. With four defeats and three draws, Verona is underwhelming in every aspect. Their form lacks proper organization both defensively and offensively. Offensively, they have one of the worst attacking sides in the league. With relegation risk in the league, Verona is forced to confront their setbacks. Despite their occasional bursts, Verona currently has no consistent form. Although they tend to draw matches, their away form is concerning. With one of the lowest goals per match, Hellas Verona shows apparent inadequacy in fighting Como.
Prediction
With a better form and a home advantage, Como will have an easy time containing and outscoring Verona.
Juventus vs Udinese
Udinese Calcio will visit Juventus FC on October 29, 2025, at 01:30 p.m. ET. The Serie A event will occur at Allianz Stadium, giving Juventus a home venue.
Juventus
Given their historical records, Juventus has a 50-50 chance of winning from their home advantage. Their most recent defeat against Como forced them to secure an immediate victory. Offensively, the team relies on Dusan Vlahovic. They also have a strong home record with consistent clean sheet victories. But Juventus had always dominated Udinese in the head-to-head matches. They are very close to their rival, the Udinese, forcing them to hold on to the grip. This match will mostly be a tight contest with a couple of total goals possible. But Juventus’s home advantage is a considerable strength, giving them a tactical edge in this game.
Udinese
Udinese has the same record as Juventus, with a decent league performance. Having collected 12 points so far, Udinese is in its redemption phase. They have shown strong midfield play in recent matches. But they have minor defensive errors. Udinese has reasonable ball possession and set-piece execution skills. Particularly, Lazar Samardzic’s presence gives them great control over tempo. But their away form cannot be relied on. Throughout the season, they displayed visible difficulties on the road. This makes them susceptible to Juventus’s error-forcing tactics. In short, Juventus has a dominating prowess in restricting Udinese’s chances.
Prediction
Juventus will win in this Serie A game with a good home form.
Roma vs Parma
AS Roma and Parma Calcio 1913 will face off in the Serie A clash on October 29, 2025. This game will be held at Stadio Olimpico at 01:30 p.m. ET.
Roma
Roma currently rules Serie A, next to Napoli. They have won seven out of their last ten matches, with one loss and two draws. With a strong home record, their home performance unifies a balanced offense and defense. Roma primarily focuses on restricting their opponents rather than scoring. Even though they prefer a defensive approach, their offense is still strong enough. Having recently won elites like Inter Milan and AC Milan, Roma shows strong potential. Roma have had several clean sheet victories this season, and they are simultaneously shining in the Europa League. They tend to gain narrow wins with their control, compactness, and efficiency.
Parma
Parma, on the other hand, had a good start to the season, but they gradually derailed as the season progressed. Notably, their away form is extremely underwhelming with no luck in their previous five outings. Defensively, they have a weak front that concedes more on average. It shows their thin defensive structure, which Roma could easily exploit. In addition, Roma had always dominated Parma in the head-to-head matches. Given their poor away form and weak defense, Roma has a easier chance to exploit Parma.
Prediction
AS Roma will have a home victory in this Serie A fixture.
Inter Milan vs Fiorentina
Inter Milan will face ACF Fiorentinaat San Siro on October 29, 2025. This Serie A Matchday 9 game will start at 03:45 p.m. ET.
Inter Milan
Inter Milan is in a good league position, competing against relegation-zoned Fiorentina. After a terrific loss to Napoli recently, Inter Milan is aiming to improve its league position. This long-gap defeat gave them no time to analyse, forcing them to rebound in their very next match. Considering their league form, they have a great offensive and defensive structure. Inter rarely concedes; even if they do, they somehow equalize and take the lead. They have won in four out of their last six matches, now seeking to restart their winning streak. Combined with their home advantage, Inter Milan is well-equipped to wear down the already-struggling Fiorentina.
Fiorentina
Fiorentina’s form has completely declined compared to last season. The current Serie A season is Fiorentina’s big disappointment. With literally no wins recorded in the 2025 Serie A campaign, they struggle to escape the relegation zone. Though they perform well against lower division clubs, Fiorentina’s league form is too poor for Serie A contention. They have 1.3 goals per game on average for their last ten games across all formats. Their incompetent form will be tested even more intensely, given Inter Milan’s home advantage. Overall, Fiorentina’s current form may try to secure a draw, but the chances are less likely.
Prediction
Inter Milan will win in this Serie A game, given its better form and Fiorentina’s poor record.
Genoa vs Cremonese
US Cremonese will visit Genoa CFC on October 29, 2025, at 03:45 p.m. ET in the Serie A game. This Matchday 9 fixture will occur at Luigi Ferraris.
Genoa
Genoa has been in the worst form of the other clubs this season. They have not had a single win until now. Having recently lost to Torino, Genoa is desperate to win before it’s too late. Although the team shows a good attacking side, their finishing often goes out of control.
Cremonese
Cremonese is in far better form than Genoa. Their current Serie A ranking is nine spots above Genoa’s. Even though their form is mixed with frequent wins, draws, and defeats, Cremonese’s overall form is better than Genoa’s. Additionally, Cremonese has a solid attacking offensive side.
Prediction
Cremonese will capture this Serie A match against Genoa.
Bologna vs Torino
Bologna FC 1909 will host the upcoming Serie A game, welcoming Torino FC on October 29, 2025. This even takes place at Renato Dall’Ara Stadium, at 03:45 p.m. ET.
Bologna
Bologna consistently performed well in the Serie A 23025-256 season. Their records culminated in the fifth league position. They consistently had wins across all formats, such as Serie A and the Europa League. Both their offense and defense have a solid foundation for an obvious dominance over Torino.
Torino
Torino, on the other hand, has a decent league record this season. Their wins, defeats, and draws gave them a 12th position in the Serie A standings. However, they have trouble outperforming at away matches. This heavily contrasts with Bologna’s confident home wins.
Prediction
Bologna has the winning probability in this Serie A game.
Cagliari vs Sassuolo
Cagliari Calcio and U.S. Sassuolo Calcio face each other in the Serie A game on October 30, 2025. This Italian Serie A fixture is scheduled at Unipol Domus at 01:30 p.m. ET.
Cagliari
Cagliari is looking to gain a win after four winless games recently. They have shown a Poor home performance, scoring seven points. However, they have some defensive fragility in the bigger picture. They will focus on winning back possession and high pressing. Offensively, they have good shot-making and execution in both halves.
Sassuolo
Sassuolo focuses on possession-based play. They tend to build up from the back with tactical decisions and clinical finishing. While they show an effective attacking range, their overreliance on offense might leave their defense vulnerable. This might open counterattacking opportunities for their opponents. Defensively, this is their concern.
Prediction
This Serie A matchup will be a tight contest. But Sassuolo’s better form makes them the favorite to win.
Pisa vs Lazio
Pisa SC will host the upcoming Serie A match on October 30, 2025, welcoming SS Lazio. This Italian Serie A event is scheduled at Arena Garibaldi – Stadio Romeo Anconetani at 03:45 p.m. ET.
Pisa
Pisa has had a poor season compared to all the other teams. They are currently the last-ranked team. The team also shows a low score-per-game average. This shows their attacking struggles. Their home form may allow them to withstand Lazio’s pressure. However, their incompetence will make them vulnerable in every aspect.
Lazio
Lazio is currently ranked better than Pisa. They exhibit a potent attack, technical proficiency, and intricate build-up play. Their players excel in creating chances and advancing the ball into dangerous positions. Although they show occasional defensive errors, Lazio has better overall form than Pisa.
Prediction
Lazio has the winning chance despite Pisa’s home venue advantage.
