Weekend Football Betting Tips: Best Bets from Serie A for MD34

It was a rough Matchday 33 for our Italian Football expert in his Best Bets column but Matchday 34 offers a chance to get back in the profit column.

Daniele Fisichella has picked out his three top choices to back in his Weekend Football Betting Tips from Serie A over the coming days...

There could be no better way to win the Scudetto than in a derby and against the side that is chasing you in the league.

On Monday Inter did just that and while they continue to celebrate their 20th title, the races to qualify to next season’s Champions League and to avoid relegation are still wide open.

Frosinone vs Salernitana (Friday, time: 19:45)

A victory might not be enough for the visitors who could be officially relegated this weekend.

The first ever meeting in Serie A between these two sides is of crucial importance for the hosts.

Frosinone are winless since 21 January (12 games), but Salernitana have done ever worse as their last success was achieved 15 games ago (on 30 December, 1-0 away at Verona).

The Ciociari have drawn four consecutive times and seem to have taken a more careful approach now they reached the business end of the season.

In fact Frosinne have kept back-to-back clean sheets, as many as they achieved in the previous 30 games.

Eusebio Di Francesco’s side has only failed to score three times at home this season and against fellow struggling teams has always netted twice or more (apart from their 1-1 draw with Lecce) at the ‘Benito Stirpe’.

The hosts have the eight best home attack in Serie A (with more goals than Juve and Napoli), whereas Salernitana have conceded 11 goals in the last three trips.

A victory for Frosinone and Over 2.5 Goals pays 21/20.

Juventus vs AC Milan (Saturday, time: 17:00)

Neither team could be satisfied with their season and Inter’s dominance has almost turned this Italian football classic into a glorified friendly.

With Serie A having expanded its Champions League’s contingent to five teams, there’s little at stake on Saturday. The game could turn out to be spectacular, given both sides are recently struggling to keep it tight at the back.

The Rossoneri are winless in the last four in all competitions whereas Juve have obtained a victory in just two of the past nine games. On Tuesday Allegri’s men scraped it past Lazio to qualify for the Coppa Italia’s final.

The visitors have scored 17 times more than the Bianconeri but their defensive record on the road is poor: they’ve conceded 29 goal (only Frosinone, Salernitana and Sassuolo have done worse), keeping only five clean sheets in all competitions.

Juventus have found the net in 14 out of their 16 home games, but only five of those have produced more than 2.5 Goals. Therefore, Both Teams To Score – Yes, priced at 4/5, seems the best option.

Bologna vs Udinese (Sunday, time: 14:00)

Thanks to a magnificent display at the ‘Stadio Olimpico’ Thiago Motta’s men have boosted their chances to play in Europe’s top competition next season.

Eight points lead on Atalanta (that have a game in hand), is a good margin for Bologna that have a tough run of fixtures till the end of the season.

The hosts hare in great form having lost just one of the previous 13 games (1-0 at home to Inter). In fact from 14 February onwards only the leaders have collected more points (35) than the Rossoblu (31).

This season the Felsinei have never remained scoreless for two consecutive home games and in their recent 0-0 draw against Monza they were unlucky not to score (their xG was 2.77).

Udinese have only won two games in 2024 and are staring down the barrel of the first relegation from Italy’s top flight since 1992.

The Friulani have scored just 12 times away from home and have been beaten convincingly by Roma, Napoli and Atalanta.

Great odds (1/1) for a home win and Over 1.5 Goals.
