Serie A Tips: Back Viola to keep playing the same tune at 2/1 | OneFootball

Italian Serie A

Fiorentina are enjoying a run of fine form.

Dan Fitch is backing another win for in-form Fiorentina, as he previews the best of the midweek Serie A action.

AC Milan v Napoli (Tuesday, 19:45)

The Serie A leaders Napoli will face one of their biggest tests of the season so far, when they travel to AC Milan.

Antonio Conte's team are unbeaten in their last eight league games (W7 D1), but they have been favourites in all of those fixtures, except for an away trip to Juventus, which ended in a 0-0 draw. Since the international break, they have claimed 1-0 wins against Empoli and Lecce, scoring second-half goals in both of those matches.

AC Milan's scheduled weekend game against Bologna was postponed, which saw them slide down to eighth in the table. Their home form is decent, winning their last three games and keeping clean sheets in the last two, against Udinese and Club Brugge. The draw seems a fair assumption at 12/5.

Empoli v Inter (Wednesday, 17:30)

Inter will be looking to get back to normal business against Empoli, following the wild ride that they went on over the weekend.

The Scudetto holders had won five games in a row, prior to hosting Juventus in the Derby d'Italia on Sunday. Few predicted these rivals to play out a thrilling 4-4 draw, with the Old Lady having only conceded once in the league, prior to that game. The match will have felt like a defeat for Inter, who were 4-2 up, relatively early in the second-half.

Empoli are without a win in four games (D2 L2), but they drew with Fiorentina and only narrowly lost to Lazio and Napoli. An Inter win and under 3.5 goals is priced at 11/10.

Atalanta v Monza (Wednesday, 19:45)

Atalanta have the opportunity to continue entertaining when they host Monza on Wednesday night.

They thrashed Verona 6-1 over the weekend, having beaten Genoa 5-1 in their previous home match in Serie A. Atalanta are now fifth in the table and are the highest scorers in the Italian top flight with 24 goals from their nine games, conceding 14.

Monza are positioned 16th, but are quite capable of pulling off a surprise, having claimed draws against Fiorentina, Inter and Roma this season. A repeat of the wager that we went for in Atalanta's last match - a home win, over 2.5 goals and Mateo Retegui to score - pays out at 15/8.

Genoa v Fiorentina (Thursday, 17:30)

One of the teams rivalling Atalanta for entertainment value in Serie A right now are Fiorentina, who visit Genoa on Thursday.

The Viola piled on the pressure for struggling Roma by beating them 5-1 on Sunday. This followed a 4-2 win at St. Gallen in the Europa Conference League and a 6-0 victory at Lecce in their previous Serie A games. Fiorentina have now won each of their last five matches across all competitions and are fourth in the league.

We have to assume that the visitors will win at a Genoa side that are without a win in eight games (D2 L6). A Fiorentina win and over 2.5 goals looks overpriced at 2/1 considering their current form.
