<p>For some, Italy’s Serie A has always been a special league and one that is worth following. For others, the magic returned after an intense campaign last year.</p> <p>Antonio Conte led his Napoli side to their fourth Scudetto, marking their second in three seasons. It was a tense finish to the campaign, with Simeone Inzaghi’s Inter Milan finishing one point behind in their attempt to defend the title they won the previous year. Of course, the manager is no longer in charge at the San Siro, which could create a new betting dynamic for fans.</p> <p>Let’s take a look at the upcoming Serie A season and see what could be expected this year…</p> <h2>Serie A Betting Preview</h2> <p>Several teams are thought to be in contention for the Scudetto this season, although none are favoured as much as Napoli.</p> <p>Aiming to win their fifth title, Conte’s side has largely remained together, while quality has also been added to the fold. Notably, they’ve acquired the signature of Kevin De Bruyne and Lorenzo Lucca, who arrives from Udinese on loan. The team remains compact and fluid, highlighting why they are favoured.</p> <p>Despite the changes at Inter, the Nerazzurri are still expected to mount a significant challenge. They scored more than any other team in the competition last year, and with Luis Henrique joining the team this year alongside Lautaro Martinez, goals are expected to flow. Petar Sučić also arrived, and both looked promising during the FIFA Club World Cup for Cristian Chivu’s side.</p> <p>Juventus remain in contention, despite having finished fourth last season. They found a way to remain difficult to beat last year (four), but drew too many (16). A weak attack didn’t help a solid defence. Igor Tudor will start the season after joining in March and has addressed the attack by adding Jonathan David. Francisco Conceição’s loan from Porto has also been turned into a permanent move.</p> <p>AC Milan disappointed last season, finishing eighth, but with arrivals including Pervis Estupinan, Luka Modrić, and Samuele Ricci, many consider them a dark horse in European soccer. Of course, the attack boasts Rafael Leão and Christian Pulisic, so if they can get firing, there’s every chance Massimiliano Allegri’s Rossoneri can challenge for Scudetto honours.</p> <h2>Serie A Betting Predictions</h2> <p>The <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/soccer/italy/italian-serie-a/italian-serie-a-outrights-2025-26-9282419">latest Serie A betting odds</a> have Napoli as the clear favourites, and it’s hard not to back them. As noted, they’ve added quality to their side while retaining many key players throughout the offseason.</p> <p>Antonio Conte appears to get the best out of Romelu Lukaku, who will now be supplied by his Belgian international teammate De Bruyne. Goals should flow for the Partenopei, and it wouldn’t be a shock if they were unstoppable.</p> <p>An each-way bet could potentially be the value pick, with AC Milan’s lack of European soccer potentially an option as a team to finish second.</p>
