Juventus will aim to bounce back to winning ways when they play as visitors against Frosinone on Friday night in the Serie A, while Napoli will look to force their way back into the top four when they face AS Roma away from home on Saturday.
Serie A Gameweek 17 Predictions
I have made predictions and betting tips on Gameweek 17 fixtures, and I want you to understand that these predictions are not 100 percent accurate.
Sassuolo vs Genoa
This is a tricky game because the hosts are winless in their last five home matches, while Genoa are also winless in their last five away matches, with four defeats and one draw. Both teams look even, and I think a draw is on the cards.
Prediction: 1-1

Empoli vs Lazio
Lazio may only have one win in their last five away matches in the league, but I think they could bounce back to winning ways against Empoli. The hosts won one of their last five home league matches, and I believe they can lose this encounter because of their poor scoring form. Lazio are also struggling to score goals, but I believe the backline will make the difference.
Prediction: 0-1
Betting Tip: AWEH
Monza vs Fiorentina
This encounter will be tough for Fiorentina because the hosts lost just once in their last five league matches, and the defeat was against Juventus, who salvaged a tight 2-1 win. Fiorentina only won one of their last five away league matches, the 3-1 win at Napoli, and that was only game they scored more than one goal in their last five league away matches. This clash will be cagey and a draw could be on the cards.
Prediction: 1-1
Betting Tip: Under 2.5 goals
Salernitana vs AC Milan
AC Milan are likely to get all three points off Salernitana because the hosts lost their last three league matches, while the visitors won three of their last five league matches. A win over Salernitana will see them advance their place in the top four.
Prediction: 0-2
Betting Tip: Away win
Frosinone vs Juventus
The hosts only managed one win in their last five league matches, and they are unlikely to get anything off Juve because the visitors have the second-best defence in Italy. There's a possibility that Frosinone could get on the scoreboard, but I doubt Juve would let in more than a goal.
Prediction: 1-2
Betting Tip: Away win
Bologna vs Atalanta
The hosts are in better form, having won three of their last five league matches. Atalanta lost two of their last five league matches, but they won their last two league matches. I personally think both teams are somewhat even, so I think this tie could end in a score draw.
Prediction: 1-1
Betting Tip: BTTS
Torino vs Udinese
Udinese are draw freaks, having drawn 10 of their opening 16 league matches. Torino are struggling to score goals, just as much as they make it difficult for their opponents to score against them. This game will lack goals, but I feel the hosts could win this tie by a goal margin.
Prediction: 1-0
Betting Tip: HWEH
Hellas Verona vs Cagliari
This encounter will lack goals because both teams are not decent going forward. After 16 league matches, Verona scored 13, Cagliari scored 16 while both teams have conceded 20+ goals already. The hosts drew three of their last five league matches, and I think a draw would be a fair result for both teams.
Prediction: 0-0
Betting Tip: Under 2.5 goals
Inter Milan vs Lecce
Although Lecce are unbeaten in their last five league matches, with four draws and one win, I believe their unbeaten run would come to an end at San Siro, because the hosts are in top form with four wins and one draw in their last five league games.
Prediction: 3-0
Betting Tip: Home win
AS Roma vs Napoli
Napoli lost three of their last five league matches, while Roma lost only one. The hosts are obviously stronger at home, but I doubt they can beat Napoli. Both teams are inconsistent, and I feel a draw will be appreciated by both teams.
Prediction: 1-1
