Serie A Betting Tips and Preview - Wednesday 6th January

If you're after goals, Atalanta are your team. They were the top goalscorers in the Serie A last season, and have registered a whopping 131 goals since the start of the 19/20 campaign, in just 52 league games.

Certainly a team that never fails to bring the entertainment, they are always a popular selection in the over goals market. In the league this season, over 2.5 goals has landed ten times from a possible fifteen. At 4/9, this price is certainly a generous one for Wednesday, given the stats.

Not only do Atalanta like to commit men forward, but their upcoming opponents in Parma struggle at the back. They are yet to keep a clean sheet on the road this season, and their 28 goals conceded in the league is the 5th worst in the division.

Atalanta are coming off the back of a resounding 5-1 victory over an in-form Sassuolo side - they have now scored 12 goals in their last 3 home league games. At 10/11, we fancy Gian Piero Gasperini to get firing once again.

Sassuolo have been shipping goals for fun recently - after keeping five clean sheets in six league games, they have now conceded 10 in their last four. Like Atalanta though, they are a side that love to bomb forward - a combination that has recently made them a solid pick in the both teams to score market.

BTTS has landed in their last four league fixtures, with the price to do so for their upcoming tie against Genoa catching our eye. At 4/6, there seems to be value in this market landing again, particularly when we take the latter's record into consideration.

From Genoa's last seven league games, both teams to score has landed six times. The league table says that the Griffins are in a relegation fight, but they have lost just once from their last four, indicating a small change in their fortunes. They have improved going forward - they registered two goals against AC Milan and also two away to Spezia. Most recently, they held Lazio to a 1-1 draw, meaning they can take some confidence going into Wednesday's game.

Although many may still fancy Sassuolo to prevail, we think the value lies with a goal from either side.

Bologna and Udinese have virtually had identical domestic campaigns so far - both sides have won 4 and lost 7, with the former having played one more game. They sit 12th and 13th in the table and not many will be expecting either to slip into relegation territory, but they won't predicting them to push much higher either.

With respect, both clubs are your standard mid-table teams and can be very hit and miss. Off their records, it's a virtually impossible to separate the two, and that's why we're going for a draw.

Priced at 23/10 on SkyBet to share the points, this selection could bolster out a few accumulators. Bologna have drawn their last four in the division, with three of them including BTTS. To add some value to this pick, both teams to score and draw is 10/3.

Some punters may even be tempted for the dreaded 0-0 though - the scoreline of Bologna's most recent fixture (v Fiorentina). Of Udinese's three league draws this season, two have come from this stalemate. You can find this scoreline at 11/1 on SkyBet.

Topping off our list is a huge top of the table clash between AC Milan and Juventus.

The former have been the success story of the season so far, with Stefano Pioli solidifying his team in being serious title contenders. Having started the season as high as 25/1, AC are now into 7/2 to win their first title in ten years. They are yet to taste defeat in the league, but have drawn three of their last five at home.

Such reading will encourage Juventus, who arrive at the San Siro needing to close the gap. A win would take them seven points off Milan, with a game in hand - it's safe to say that it's a must win game for Andrea Pirlo's men.

Calling a winner isn't easy, so many may prefer the BTTS selection at 4/7 - Juventus have scored in every league away game this season, whilst Milan have scored 2+ in every home fixture. We're going to go a tad adventurous in this game though, and try predict a 2-2 draw.

This scoreline has occurred three times from Milan's last 9 - a late winner in their tie against Lazio made it 3-2, otherwise it could have been four. Juve need to come forward, and they have kept just one clean sheet from their last seven. We're expecting a few goals, and this scoreline is priced at 10/1 on Betfair.
