Serie A prediction: Statistics Up to the World Cup break

As far as statistics are concerned, the long existing preconceived ideas about Serie A betting are definitely out the window! Gone are the days when the league used to have a reputation for being extremely defensive and few goals scored. Up to the World Cup break in November, all teams had played 15 of their 38 league games, so it's a good time to look at the statistics of a season that's been dominated by Napoli.

There have been 387 goals scored in the first 150 matches of the season. That's a average of 2.58 goals per game which is down from the 2.87 recorded in the 2021/22 season. It's still a figure that compares well with other top European leagues. Napoli are the top scorers with 37 goals this season, an average close to 2.5 a game. 

A popular bet is the under/over 2.5 goals market and this season, 51% of games have had over 2.5 goals.  That's one in every two games played but slighly down from the 55% recorded last season. Chances are it'll be matched by the time the season comes to an end.

Home teams are doing much better this season. 45% of games have seen the home side come out on top.  That's a big increase from the 39% last season. 24% of games have been drawn, down 2% on last season. Less games are being won by the away team with only 31% of matches being won by the visitors. That's 4% less than in the 2021/22 Serie A season.

1-1 is the most frequent final score, coming up in 13% of games. At half-time, 27% have been goalless at the break. 89% of matches this season have seen under 2.5 goals scored in the first half. 

Finally, bear in mind that Italian matches are often decided by late goals.  This season 53.5% of the goals have been scored in the second half of the match. More precisely, 21.4% of the goals were scored after the 76th minute of the game last season, which is definitely worth considering. 20.4% of goals have come between the 31st minute and the end of the first half. Both these time periods include time added on at the end of the half, so are good to bet on.
