Saturday's Serie A predictions including Napoli vs. Juventus

Como vs. Atalanta (Saturday, 2.00pm)

Aiming to revive their Serie A title challenge after four league games without a win, Atalanta BC will visit nearby Como on Saturday.

The Bergamaschi strolled to victory in the Champions League last time out, but they have recently slipped down the domestic standings; meanwhile, their hosts are slowly climbing the table.

We say: Como 1-1 Atalanta BC

Atalanta may have to wait longer for their first Serie A win of the year, as Como can boast a fine recent record on home soil, where they have beaten Roma and Udinese.

With half an eye on their Champions League fate, the visitors may be below their brilliant best, dropping more points and further denting their title chances.

Napoli vs. Juventus (Saturday, 5.00pm)

Two Calcio giants will convene at Stadio Maradona for a keenly awaited contest, as Serie A leaders Napoli play host to unbeaten Juventus on Saturday.

A gap of 13 points separates the sides, with the in-form Azzurri intent on extending their five-game success streak against Juve on home turf.

We say: Napoli 1-0 Juventus

Such has been their resilience and will-to-win under ex-Juve man Antonio Conte, Napoli can finally end the Bianconeri's Serie A unbeaten streak.

Juventus boast plenty of talent across the final third, but they often fail to fire, while their hosts are generally rock-solid at the back.

Empoli vs. Bologna (Saturday, 7.45pm)

Still unbeaten in 2025, Bologna will try to follow up their first-ever Champions League win when they visit Serie A strugglers Empoli on Saturday.

Despite beating last year's finalists Borussia Dortmund, the Rossoblu are still bound for an early exit from Europe, but they remain contenders for another top-five finish in Italy.

We say: Empoli 1-2 Bologna

While Bologna have lost just twice on their travels around Italy this season, Empoli are still awaiting their second league win at the Castellani.

Buoyed by their landmark victory in midweek, the away side should secure maximum points and extend their hosts' woes.
