Atalanta’s 2-0 victory against Roma on Monday night moved them within a point of leaders Napoli, extending their unbeaten run to 13 games across all competitions (W11, D2), including 8 straight victories.
Gian Piero Gasperini’s men have been in impressive form, scoring the most goals in Serie A (36) and netting 2+ times in 11 of their 14 league games, including in every one of their six home matches so far this season.
Milan are the side aiming to stop them this weekend. Paulo Fonseca will be keenly aware of his team’s struggles on the road, having won just 2 away games this season (D2, L2).
While scoring goals on their travels hasn’t been an issue, conceding two or more times in four of those six games will be the primary concern for Fonseca as he sets his team up to slow down this high-flying Atalanta side.
Our full-time prediction is another win for Atalanta as we believe they will just have too much for Milan in the end.

Defending champions Inter return to action this weekend, looking to extend their 12-match unbeaten run (W10, D2) and close the 4-point gap to league leaders Napoli.
The Nerazzurri have been vulnerable at the San Siro recently, dropping points in three of their last five league games as hosts (W2, D2, L1), and Simeone Inzaghi will be keen to make their home ground a fortress once again, just like it was last season.
Meanwhile, Parma arrive at the San Siro in their best top-flight form in some time. They have two wins in the last three games, which is as many as they managed in their previous 40 (D14, L24). Last weekend’s 3-1 win over Lazio showed they must not be underestimated.
Parma have now lost just twice in their last eight matches (W2, D4), and have avoided defeat in their last five away games against Inter (W1, D4).
Inter have not been at their absolute best at home this season, but the defending champs should have just enough to take all three points.

The first Merseyside derby of the season is here, involving two teams on completely different ends of the Premier League spectrum. Liverpool are 7 points clear at the top of the table, and playing like it’s 2020 again, when they blew everyone away en route to a 99-point title-winning campaign.
They have now won 17 of their 20 matches under Arne Slot this season (L1, D2), and I’m struggling to find a reason to bet against them this weekend.
Perhaps the fact that Sean Dyche’s men actually won this fixture last season - a smash and grab 2-0 win at Goodison Park that left the Reds stunned. Before then, Everton’s last home win in this fixture was in 2010.
The Toffes have won just 3 league games this season but will be buoyed by an emphatic midweek 4-0 win over Wolves.
Liverpool struggled defensively in the midweek 3-3 draw against Newcastle, which should make this a very interesting afternoon.
While this will not be straightforward by any means, my bet prediction is for Liverpool to steal a narrow win, and for Mohamed Salah, who now has 13 league goals to add to his tally.

Reports suggested Palace boss Oliver Glasner was one bad defeat away from the sack, but a spirited 1-0 win over fellow strugglers Ipswich moved them three points clear of the relegation zone, and even more crucially, may have bought him some extra time.
Playing Manchester City in the past would have been seen as a free hit, but the champions are currently beatable, which should give the Eagles some confidence.
Meanwhile, Man City have endured their worst run of form under Abu Dhabi ownership, and certainly Pep Guardiola’s worst run as a manager (L6, D1, W1).
They finally reversed their winless streak with a comfortable win over Nottingham Forest in midweek, inspired by the returning Kevin De Bruyne.
It is hard to see them clawing back a 9-point deficit to Liverpool at the top of the table, but with injured players finally returning and favourable fixtures on the horizon, Pep’s men could go on a run.
Going by their recent form, this is a tricky fixture, but Palace have been dreadful this season, and our bet of the day is a win for City to claw their way further back up the EPL table.

Ange Postecoglou’s Tottenham have become the embodiment of inconsistency. They beat Aston Villa 4-1, lost 2-1 to Ipswich, dismantled Manchester City 4-0 at the Etihad, and stumbled to a 1-1 draw against Fulham at home. You never know what version of Spurs you’ll see, but one thing is certain: there will be goals.
Ange’s men have scored the most goals in the league (28), and 9 of their last 12 games have featured the “both teams to score” market on the scoresheet. This game should be a dream for neutrals as Chelsea have also scored goals for fun this season.
Enzo Maresca’s men have scored the most goals in the league this season (31), and in Cole Palmer and Nicolas Jackson, the Blues have two players who are at the top of their game.
No one expected Chelsea to be this close to the top of the table after the chaos of their summer window, but Maresca has done an excellent job. They sit second, ahead of Arsenal on goal difference, and a win in a fixture of this magnitude away from home will really send a message across the league.
Chelsea have lost just one of the last 15 meetings between both sides (W9, D5), and that historical advantage, coupled with Spurs’ famed propensity to implode, makes it hard to back the home side here. The smart bet prediction here is over 2.5 goals.

Ruben Amorim’s tenure as Manchester United boss started with an uninspiring draw against Ipswich, but subsequent wins against Bodo/Glimt (3-2) and Everton (4-0) sent the United fanbase into overdrive.
However, Wednesday’s defeat to Arsenal put things back into perspective. This is a work in progress, and the change required will not be instantaneous.
Their opponents this weekend, Nottingham Forest, have overperformed this season. They have lost just four games and boast the fourth-best defence in the league, having conceded 16 goals.
Additionally, they have one of the league’s hottest strikers in Chris Wood, who has scored nine goals in 13 matches.
We’ve seen enough from Forest this season to believe they can cause United serious problems, and this one has a tight affair written all over it.

The Ruud van Nistelrooy era at Leicester started with a bang as the Dutchman recorded a comfortable 3-1 win against West Ham in his first game in charge. The Foxes sacked Chris Cooper after a run of 1 win in 9 left them flirting dangerously with the bottom three.
Van Nistelrooy arrives with pedigree and goodwill, but he will need more than that to get all three points against an impressive Brighton side.
The Seagulls are 5th in the standings with one defeat in their last 7 league games, against Liverpool at Anfield. They have also been very impressive on the road, with only Liverpool and Chelsea winning more away games than Fabian Hurzeler’s men.
Brighton have had just one clean sheet in their last 8 games, which makes “both teams to score” a smart bet prediction.

Marco Silva’s Fulham come into this London derby in decent form, having secured two wins in their last four games. They earned a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Tottenham last weekend, despite playing most of the second half with 10 men. If Fulham are to stand any chance of taking a positive result from this game, they will require another big performance from Alex Iwobi.
The Nigerian continued his excellent start to the season by providing an assist against Spurs, and scoring twice against Brighton, taking his goal involvement for the season to 8 G+A (G5, A3).
However, Arsenal have several stars of their own, and are in red-hot form after defeating Manchester United 2-0 on Wednesday night to make it 4 consecutive wins. Mikel Arteta’s men have scored 15 goals and conceded just thrice in this period.
The Gunners are 7 points behind leaders Liverpool and will need to keep up their recent form to keep their title hopes alive. Our full time prediction here is a comfortable Arsenal win, led by the irrepressible Bukayo Saka and set piece danger man, Gabriel Magalhães.

West Ham’s 3-1 defeat to Leicester City was supposed to be the final straw for Julen Lopetegui, but somehow, he’s still in charge. However, a defeat against 19th-placed Wolves this weekend will surely be the proverbial nail in his coffin.
For a squad as talented as West Ham’s, this has been a torrid campaign. They have won just four games this season (L7, D4), including several humiliating defeats along the way to 14th place.
Wolves are no better, and they were pummeled 4-0 by Everton on Wednesday to leave them 3 points off safety. They have lost 9 games this season and have just one away win in their last 15 games.
The smart bet prediction here is goals. Neither of these sides can defend to save their lives, and 11 of Wolves’ last 12 games have featured over 2.5 goals.

Girona are finally returning to last season’s impressive form after enduring a difficult start to the campaign. They were on a streak of four games without defeat until a shock midweek defeat to fourth-tier Logrones in the Spanish Cup. That result is hardly ideal preparation as they welcome the champions, Real Madrid, this weekend.
Carlo Ancelotti’s men will take nothing for granted after their 2-1 midweek defeat to Athletic Club, a match in which Kylian Mbappé’s woes continued with another missed penalty. Consequently, they start the round four points adrift of leaders and rivals Barcelona, albeit with a game in hand.
However, Los Blancos will be confident that a first away league defeat since September 2023 (W13, D8) will be the exception, especially since they haven’t lost consecutive La Liga games for over two years.

Real Betis’ 2-0 defeat to Real Sociedad last weekend made it four games without a win for Manuel Pellegrini’s men (D2, L2). Despite their recent slump, they will take some confidence from their home form this season, as the Estadio Benito Villamarin has been a fortress where they’ve won four of their last five home league matches (D1).
However, they have lost more games against this weekend’s opponents, Barcelona (85), than they have against any other side historically. The Blaugrana have won their last five matches against Betis and bounced back from last weekend’s shock defeat against Las Palmas with a 5-1 thrashing of Mallorca on Tuesday.
Barca are four points clear of arch-rivals Real Madrid, albeit having played a game more, and another win here will strengthen their bid to reclaim the La Liga title.
Hansi Flick’s men have four wins in their last six away games (D1, L1), averaging 3.17 goals per game, and you can get the best odds by betting on a big win for the visitors.

League leaders Napoli welcome 5th-place Lazio to the Diego Maradona Stadium for arguably the biggest game of the Serie A weekend. Antonio Conte’s men have won 8 of their last 10 games and hold a one-point advantage over second-place Atalanta.
The battle at the top of Serie A is a tight one, with just 5 points separating the top 6 teams in the league, and every point is crucial.
Meanwhile, Lazio are coming off a shock 3-1 defeat to Parma. Prior to that loss, they were unbeaten in 8 games (W7, D1) and looked set to force their way into the top two. Nevertheless, they won 2 of the last 3 meetings with Napoli and will fancy their chances of getting something against Conte’s men.
Six of Napoli’s last 8 games have featured under 2.5 goals, and we are unlikely to see a goal-fest here. Our bet prediction for this one is Napoli to avoid defeat in a low-scoring game.
