Serie A Betting Tips from our Experts
Serie A is the top division in Italy and last season finally saw a team other than Juventus win the title. They were attempting to win a tenth successive Serie A title but could only finish fourth. They will be all out to regain their title this season. There are 20 teams in Serie A, they face each other home and away, so that's 38 league games each season.
The top four finishers go into the Champions League group stages. Fifth place takes a team into the group stages of the Europa League, while sixth gains entry into the Europa Conference League but with games to play before the group stages. The bottom three teams in Serie A are all automatically relegated to Serie B.

SERIE A: OUR FREE FORECAST FOR THE 2021/22 SEASON
Inter won the title by 12 points last season but it was early season form that created the big gap at the top. For the last 15 games of the campaign, they were only three points clear of Atalanta. Retaining their title is going to be a difficult task. They have financial problems and top scorer Romelu Lukaku has been transferred to Chelsea. Juventus finished 13 points behind the champions and nearly failed to make it into the Champions League. they will be all out to get their title back.
AC Milan were runners up last season. They won 16 away league games last season but only eight on home soil. If they can keep that away form going and do better at home, they could win the title. Atalanta cannot be ruled out after their third place finish in 2020/21. They were top scorers with 90 goals but conceded 47. Some defensive signings have been made, so they will be title contenders, perhaps even champions. Napoli cannot be ruled out either so it looks another exciting season lies ahead of us.
