Serie A Winner Betting Preview
Italian football has been in the doldrums to a certain extent, with the league suffering from an economic downturn that has plagued the nation, while bribery and racism scandals off the pitch reflect poorly on the state of the game in Italy.
But actually out of the major leagues in Europe, Serie A might just be the hardest fought and most competitive this season. Last year’s champions Juventus are heavily favoured by the bookmakers to repeat this triumph, and indeed they are odds on to do so. The acquisition of Carlos Tevez will certainly help them in their quest, and they do look to have the best squad on paper.
But despite losing Edinson Cavani, Napoli under the tutelage of new manager Rafa Benitez might run them close. Gonzalo Higuain looks an able replacement for Cavani, and the Nepalese club have also managed to hold on to their star player Marek Hamsik.
Both Milanese clubs can also be expected to challenge, with AC Milan second favourites. But Fiorentina also might be considered a dark horse, with new signing Mario Gomes playing up front with the talented Giuseppe Rossi.
But my tip for this market is actually Napoli, who I believe will end Juventus’ recent domination of Serie A. You can get 5/1 on this outcome with BetVictor.
