Serie A 2024/25 Season Winner prediction
- Inter Milan
Last season we saw one of the most lopsided league seasons in Italian football as champions Inter Milan ran away with the title eventually finishing an incredible 19 points ahead of their neighbours AC Milan in a distant second spot. The question remains is there anybody that can get close to Inter this season? The quick answer is no as they are streets ahead of any other team but they will want to keep an eye out for 2022/23 champions Napoli. The team from Naples had a disastrous season as defending champions, finishing in 10th position but the acquisition of Antonio Conte as manager is bound to see an improvement.
Simone Inzaghi’s side had an impressive campaign last season suffering only two defeats in the league while scoring 89 goals and conceding just 22. Inter have already made some contract extensions to key players and might make further signings to strengthen their squad before the transfer window closes. They will want to stamp their authority on the league by becoming the first team since the 2019/20 season to successfully defend their crown. Inter will undoubtedly be the team to beat next season with Bettabets offering odds of 1.66 on them being crowned champions again.

Top two Serie A finish prediction
- Inter Milan
- Napoli
After the euphoria of winning their first league title in 33 years in 2023, things went pear shaped for Napoli as they finished in an embarrassing tenth position as defending champions. Their failure to qualify for European competition could work in their favour as they bid to climb back up the standings. The appointment of Conte could prove to be a masterstroke as he has a proven track record of success in Serie A. He will fancy his chances of guiding the 2022/23 champions back into the top four next term. Leonardo Spinazzola, Alessandro Buongiorno and Rafa Marin are shrewd additions to the squad and Napoli could be dangerous if they bring in a few more new players.
Top four finish
- Inter Milan
- Napoli
- Juventus
- AC Milan
After a barren few years, Juventus will be looking to regain some of their past glory and have started their rebuilding process under new manager Thiago Motta. He did a fantastic job at Bologna last term, guiding them to a fifth-place finish to secure qualification for the Champions League. Juventus have added midfielders Douglas Luiz and Khephren Thuram to their squad with more new signings expected before the transfer window closes. Nice centre-back Jean-Clair Todibo is one of their primary targets and his acquisition would be a big boost to Juve’s title hopes.
AC Milan finished runners up last season but were 19 points behind Inter and shows how far off the pace they were compared to the champions. Milan have been relatively quiet in the transfer market this summer although they are expected to add some new players before the end of August. New manager Paulo Fonseca has a tough job on his hands at the San Siro and his team will do well to retain their place in the top four.
Relegation
Como
Venezia
Empoli
The basement battle is always tight as the mad scramble for points at the end of the season can be heart wrenching. The new boys in the top flight this season are Parma who return after a 3-year absence while Como were also promoted after 21 years away from top flight football. The final team promoted were Venezia who are back after two years in Serie B. Our prime candidates for relegation this season are Como, Empoli and Venezia.

Top scorer
Victor Osimhen
The Golden Boot winners of the last two seasons, Victor Osimhen and Lautaro Martinez are again expected to be in the running for the coveted title. Martinez was in scintillating form for Inter last season as he finished with 24 goals, eight clear of the next best player. Osimhen scored 15 goals but missed quite a few matches due to injury. It is hoped that Conte will be able to bring the best out of the Nigerian striker. Martinez will not relinquish his title without a fight as he showed excellent form in the Copa America where he scored five goals for champions Argentina. We believe Osimhen will be determined to impress the new boss therefore we are tipping him to be the top goal scorer.
I’m Kanyi Muturi and am from Tabuga, a small village in Nakuru. I have been following all sports since I was a kid and have been interested in the gambling side of sports since I was in high school. It took me a little while to get a grasp on all of the different gambling terminology and understand how confusing and complicated it can all seem when you first start.
Are you a professional gambler?
I am a successful gambler. But make no mistake about it: I’m a long-time recreational sports bettor. I’m not a professional gambler. I’m not claiming to be a professional gambler. I’ve never, to my recollection, even been acquainted with a professional gambler. And far be it from me to make the preposterous claim that following my advice will turn you into a professional gambler. It ain’t about that. Not here it ain’t. I just want to teach you a new form of recreation, a fun new pastime in what can sometimes be an unfun life.
