As this season’s Serie A title fight looks like it could be going down to the wire, a host of Italian heavyweights will take center stage on Sunday.
As Lazio host Juventus at the Stadio Olimpico for what will be a delightful domestic showdown, we have a series of intriguing battles in Italy’s top divisions.
So, for those looking to keep playing on Sunday, we’ve taken a look at some of the most eye-catching Italian betting markets available this weekend.
11:30 Torino vs Genoa
Torino, who ultimately fell short last season by missing out on a place in the top half of Italy’s elite, are desperate to go one step further this time. Last seen putting in what was a sensational performance in claiming a 1-0 home win against reigning Serie A champions Napoli, Marco Baroni’s men will be dreaming of repeating their performance here. With their sights firmly set on finding a route into the top 10, the Bulls should sniff out a golden opportunity when they return to Turin at lunchtime on Sunday. Heading into the October international break with a 3-3 draw against Italian giants Lazio, the former Verona boss has seen his team suffer just one defeat in any of their four previous domestic appearances in all competitions. Expanding on their Coppa Italia adventure on September 25, when they achieved a 1-0 victory against Pisa, it is also worth noting that Torino have achieved consecutive victories in front of their own fans for the first time since March.
Enduring what has been a public crisis since the new campaign opened, it is no secret that Genoa are widely regarded as a leading relegation contender this time around. Forced to settle for a 0-0 home draw against Parma when returning from the October international break last weekend, Patrick Vieira has increasing pressure on his shoulders in Liguria. Heading into the fortnight’s interval with a 2-1 defeat at Napoli, Sunday’s guests have picked up just three points so far this season and find themselves bottom of the Serie A standings. Closing September with a routine 3-0 at the hands of Lazio, the former Crystal Palace boss has a big job on his hands this year. Showing some real attacking problems, Genoa looks ready for what will be a stern test here. With just one goal in Serie A over the last month, we are backing a home win in Turin this weekend.

16:15 Bari – Mantua
While some in the Bari camp might have entered the new campaign with their sights set on mounting a real promotion charge, Fabio Caserta’s side have shown some major inconsistencies. Last seen immediately returning to the path of defeat when they went down 3-1 at Reggiana, the Cockerels opened Sunday’s clash in the relegation zone. Despite coming into the October half-time with a very welcome 2-1 win against Padova, that is the only victory Bari have managed in any of their first eight Serie B appearances so far this season. Likewise, seeing their Coppa Italia adventure come to a routine end on August 17 when they suffered a 2-0 defeat against AC Milan, the former Catanzaro boss is also dealing with a major defensive headache. After closing September with a dramatic 2-2 draw at Entella, the downbeat Caserta side are still hoping to get their first clean sheet at home since the 2025/26 campaign opened.
Having missed what they had announced as a potential opportunity last weekend when they celebrated their return from the October international break with a 1-1 draw at home against Sudtirol, Mantua find themselves in an almost identical position to their Sunday opponents. After ending September with a 2-1 defeat to Juve Stabia, Davide Possanzini’s side have only picked up a couple of points from their six previous appearances in Serie B. Despite a crucial 2-1 win against Pescara on August 30, it appears to have been nothing more than a small boost for the Lombardy-based side. Mantova, who came under heavy scrutiny last month when they fell to a woeful 5-1 at the hands of Frosinone, have also shown their own obvious defensive struggles. Including the 3-1 defeat against Modena on September 20, it should be noted that Sunday’s guests have scored 12 goals in their six-match winless streak.
