Between Friday and Saturday we return to the field for the seventeenth matchday, opened by four advance matches: Fiorentina risks in Monza, Bologna at home with Atalanta («1» at 2,70) to strengthen themselves in the Champions League zone. At the Olimpico, Mou at 3,05 follows the Azzurri at 2,55
Serie A knows no stops. No Christmas break, everyone on the pitch between Friday and Saturday for the seventeenth matchday and then between 29 and 30 December. We start on Friday with four advances: Lazio opens as the favorite in Empoli («2» at 1,97), while in the evening Fiorentina starts in pole position in Monza (2,40) against Palladino's team who are chasing at 2,90 . Suggestive crossroads, at the Arechi, between Salernitana and Milan: Pippo Inzaghi, last with the granata, faces his past both as a footballer and as a coach, but at least in the Snai odds there doesn't seem to be a chance for the Campania players. The victory of Milan pays only 1,40, with the draw at 4,75 and the success of Salernitana even at 7,25.
Saturday – After having increased the lead over Juventus to four points thanks to the Bianconeri's draw in Monza last week, Inter welcomes Lecce with the aim of spending Christmas at the top with at least the same gap. Few problems for Inzaghi, despite the elimination from the Italian Cup at the hands of Bologna: sign «1» at 1,20 (lowest odds of the entire pre-Christmas round), draw at 6,50, «2» at 13. If the 'Inter will take to the pitch at 18pm, Juventus will open on Saturday at 12.30pm on the pitch of a Frosinone team that is very much on the move after the victory in the Italian Cup at Napoli and filled with players owned by Juventus (Barrenechea, Soulé, Kajo Jorge). Allegri, with odds in hand, is the underdog with the «2» at 1,63, but watch out for Di Francesco's Frosinone, one of the surprises of the championship: a point for the yellow and blues pays 3,80, a victory is worth 5,50, 2023. The biggest surprise of the 24-15 Serie A, however, is Bologna, and they also demonstrated it in the Italian Cup by winning in Milan after extra time: at 2,70pm, at the Dall'Ara, a play-off in the Champions League zone takes place against Atalanta, and the odds are in almost perfect balance. Thiago Motta leads at 2,75, Gasperini follows at 3,10, with the highest draw at XNUMX.
Big matches – The other direct clash is the one at 20.45pm between Rome and Naples. At the Olimpico, the Giallorossi are looking for redemption after the defeat in Bologna; the Italian champions, on the other hand, absolutely must turn the page after the domestic defeat in the Italian Cup against Frosinone. Mazzarri seems to have, at least looking at the Snai scoreboard, a few more chances, with the victory at 2,55; the «X» sign pays 2,95, the «1» is at 3,05. Under and Goal have the same odds (1,70), just as Over and No Goal are both offered at 2,00. Osimhen at 2,50 and Lukaku at 3,00 will be the protagonists of the match within the match, that of the strikers: behind the Nigerian and the Belgian, there are Belotti at 3,25 and the Raspadori-Simeone pair at 3,50.
