2021/22 Serie A Betting Preview, Odds and Predictions

Inter Milan gets the opportunity to defend its Serie A title from a year ago when the 120th season of the premier league in Italian soccer begins on August 21. The new champion will be crowned on May 22, 2022.

Juventus lost the Serie A championship for the first time in nine seasons last year and the Italian powerhouse is back seeking its record 37th title. Is there another club that could step up and challenge Inter-Milan and Juventus? The two have combined to win 15 of the last 16 Serie A titles.

Favored Again

Is it any surprise that Juventus with its 36 Serie A titles and arguably the best player in the world in Cristiano Ronaldo is favored to win it again in 2021-22? Not really.

After finishing a disappointing fourth in the league table last season, Juventus is back as the favorite at +120. The biggest change heading into the new season is the firing of manager Andrea Pirlo.

Massimiliano Allegri is back to guide Juventus. Allegri led the club to five straight Serie A titles between 2014-19.

Another New Coach

Also not surprisingly, Inter Milan is listed right behind Juventus at +225 on the betting board. The reigning champions also have a new leader. Antonio Conte decided to move on after guiding the club to success last year. Former Lazio head man Simone Inzaghi takes over.

Striker Romelu Lukaku leads the Inter Milan having scored 24 goals in league play last season. He was a big reason why Inter Milan finished 12 points ahead of its closest competition, AC Milan. The defending champs will be a force to reckon with once again.

Other Contenders

After the top two teams, there is a drop-off in talent, at least according to oddsmakers. AC Milan, which finished second at 24-7-7 last season, lost midfielder Hakan Calhanoglu to Inter Milan giving a boost to the reigning champions. It’s also why AC Milan is listed at +1200 to win Serie A this season.

The only other club given odds of less than +1000 is Atalanta at +650. Atalanta finished third last season with a record of 23-9-6. It was the third straight season that the club finished in third place. Top goal scorer Luis Muriel (22) returns as does striker Duvan Zapata who had 15 goals in Serie A play last season.

2022 Serie A Outright Winner Pick

AC Milan made some serious offseason moves including the acquisition of Chelsea veteran forward Olivier Giroud. Still, it’s a stretch to think AC Milan can challenge either Juventus or Inter Milan.

Ronaldo is showing no signs of slowing down even at 36 years old. He was the Serie A leading scorer with 29 goals last season. Plus, the return of Allegri will rejuvenate Juventus and return Juve to glory. The smart money is on Juventus to win its 37th Serie A championship.

BEST BET: JUVENTUS +120
