|  Date | Home Team | Away Team | BZ’s Betting Tip | Odds | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 12 Dec 2025 | Lecce | Pisa | Lecce win | 2.50 | Lecce is strong at home and efficient in finishing, while Pisa struggles to convert chances, especially in away games. |
| 13 Dec 2025 | Torino | Cremonese | Torino win | 2.05 | Torino dominates possession and creates more scoring opportunities at home, while Cremonese is vulnerable defensively on the road. |
| 13 Dec 2025 | Parma | Lazio | Lazio win | 2.15 | Lazio’s experience and attacking depth make them favorites against mid-table Parma at home. |
| 13 Dec 2025 | Atalanta | Cagliari | Atalanta (-1.5) Handicap | 2.00 | Atalanta’s dynamic attack and home form usually overwhelm even strong teams. Playing in Bergamo against weaker defensive sides like Cagliari means dealing with intense pressing and creating many scoring opportunities for the hosts. |
| 14 Dec 2025 | AC Milan | Sassuolo | AC Milan win & over 2.5 goals | 2.25 | Milan dominates possession and attack phases at home, often controlling the match tempo. Sassuolo occasionally scores on counters, but Milan’s superior creativity and finishing depth make a multi-goal home win highly probable, especially with their effective full-backs and midfield fresh legs due to the lack of EU games on the midweek. |
| 14 Dec 2025 | Fiorentina | Hellas Verona | Fiorentina win | 1.90 | Fiorentina’s home control and attacking efficiency give them an edge over Verona’s defensive setup. The hosts should be inspired after the Thursday win in the Conference League. |
| 14 Dec 2025 | Udinese | Napoli | Napoli Win & Over 2.5 Goals | 3.45 | Napoli’s attacking quality, pace, and fluid midfield rotations usually overpower mid-table defenses like Udinese. Even away, Napoli dominate possession, create high-xG opportunities, and exploit transitional mistakes, making multiple goals highly likely. However, Udinese can find the net at least once, forcing the guests to reply with two minimum. |
| 14 Dec 2025 | Genoa | Inter Milan | Inter Win & Over 2.5 Goals | 2.55 | Inter’s midfield dominance, tactical discipline, and attacking depth often dismantle mid-table sides. Genoa may create occasional counters, but Inter’s pressing and quality in the final third strongly favour a decisive away win with multiple goals. |
| 14 Dec 2025 | Bologna | Juventus | Juventus Win & Under 3.5 Goals | 3.25 | Juventus’ defensive solidity and ability to control tempo favor them over Bologna. They exploit defensive lapses and create clear chances, but maintain structured play, making a win likely without a high total of goals. The Old Lady will also be fresher than Bologna, playing their game on Wednesday. |
| 15 Dec 2025 | AS Roma | Como | Roma Win & Over 2.5 Goals | 3.80 | Roma’s attacking units, home advantage, and tactical depth make them overwhelming favorites. Como may attempt counters, but Roma’s ability to generate multiple high-quality chances suggests a multi-goal home victory. Despite being slightly fatigued due to UEL game on Thursday, they should be fresh enough as the game is set for Monday. |
