Serie A Matchday 19 Odds

Odds as of December 21 at DraftKings

Hellas Verona vs Fiorentina Prediction

Fiorentina will seek to extend its unbeaten run to five Serie A matches when it visits Hellas Verona on Wednesday in Serie A Matchday 19.

In sixth place in Italy’s league standings, Fiorentina certainly possesses one of the stars of the season.

The Serbian striker Dusan Vlahovic has scored 16 times in 18 Serie A appearances in this campaign.

Furthermore, eight of those goals have come in the last six fixtures.

Meanwhile, Verona is in 13th place and has a leaky defense that has conceded 31 times in its 18 league games.

Giovanni Simeone, son of Diego, is having the best season of his career at Hellas Verona! 🔥

Put those facts together and DraftKings’ prop odds of +300 for Vlahovic to be the first or last scorer undoubtedly look very attractive,

Moreover, the oddsmakers rate Fiorentina as a +145 favorite for an away win.

A victory for Verona is priced at +190 with the draw at +240.

There has been a mixed recent record for Verona.

The game kicks off at 12:30 pm ET.

There has been a mixed recent record for Verona.

It was beaten 2-1 at home against Atalanta last weekend following a 4-3 win at Venezia the previous weekend.

However, the team still has the eighth-best home record in the division with five wins, one draw and three defeats.

Giovanni Simeone, furthermore, has 11 Serie A strikes for the team.

Fiorentina, meanwhile, has the ninth-best record on the road with four wins and five defeats.

It has won three times in its current undefeated four-game spell. But it was held 2-2 at home against Sassuolo last weekend.

And, to sum up, there seems every likelihood that the in-form Vlahovic will get on the scoresheet for the visitors this time around.

Pick: Dusan Vlahovic First/Last Goalscorer (+300)

Sassuolo vs Bologna Prediction

These teams share the same points tally in mid-table but they are in sharply contrasting form.

Firstly, Sassuolo sits in 11th place with 24 points as it enjoys a six-match undefeated sequence.

However, although Bologna is 12th, it has lost its last three Serie A outings.

Therefore, it is easy to see why DraftKings makes Sassuolo the favorite for a home win on Wednesday at +105 in Serie A Matchday 19.

With kick-off at 10:30 am ET, Bologna is priced at +250. The draw, meanwhile, is at +270.

Certainly, Sassuolo has claimed some big scalps this season – beating Juventus, AC Milan and Lazio since the end of October.

Sassuolo has no clean sheet since September 26.

However, its current unbeaten run features four draws and only two victories – the latest a 2-2 result away at Fiorentina last weekend.

Furthermore, the team has not kept a clean sheet since September 26.

It has, moreover, won only three times at home this season, with three draws and three defeats.

Sassuolo will, though, be happy to rely on the current form of Gianluca Scammaca who has hit four goals in his last six appearances.

Meanwhile, Bologna has fallen to Fiorentina, Torino and Juventus – by 2-0 last weekend – during its current run.

Away from home, it has lost four times with two draws and two wins.

So, in conclusion, another defeat looks likely against a solid Sassuolo outfit.

Pick: Sassuolo +105

Inter Milan vs Torino Prediction

Serie A leader Internazionale has scored 19 goals in a current run of six straight wins while it has only conceded twice.

Furthermore, it also has the best home record in the division with six wins and two draws.

Meanwhile, Torino has the fourth worst away record with five defeats, two draws and only one win.

So a spread option based on Inter’s hot scoring streak looks the best idea for Wednesday’s game – with a price of +265 for a win by three goals or more looking attractive (Spread -2.5).

Meanwhile, DraftKings makes Inter a huge -310 favorite to win with kick-off at 12:30 pm ET in Serie A Matchday 19.

Inter hammered Salernitana 5-0 last weekend following a 4-0 defeat of Cagliari in its last home game.

There have been five successive league clean sheets for the reigning champions.

Indeed, those two goals conceded in the current six-game unbeaten run both came as the spell began in the 3-2 defeat of Napoli.

Since then, there have been five successive league clean sheets for the reigning champions.

Inter’s scored 98 goals in 2021, 1 shy of their calendar year Serie A record (99 in ‘50).

Only 3 teams have 100 in single Serie A year: Milan (105 in ‘49 & 120 in ‘50), Torino (111 in ‘47 & 114 in ‘48) & Juve (100 in ‘33) – Atalanta have 99 in 2021.@OptaPaolo #SalernitanaInter pic.twitter.com/NwSarbOA31

At least Torino has found some recent form, however.

Its 1-0 defeat of Verona last weekend made it two straight wins and four games undefeated in all.

But, in conclusion, it will not be strong enough to stop rampant Inter from going on another spree.

Pick: Inter Milan -2.5 (+265)
