Italian Serie A Previews, Predictions & Betting Tips

The Serie A is the top competition of the Italian football league. The season runs from August to May and features 20 clubs that play each other home and away. Formed in the 1929–30 season, Serie A has a rich history and is regarded as one of the best and most tactical leagues in the world.

Serie A is home to three of the world's most famous clubs in Juventus, Milan and Internazionale. Close behind are Roma, Fiorentina, Lazio and Napoli who join them in what is known as the Seven Sisters of Italian football.

Juventus have won seven titles in a row and have 34 overall, with Milan and Internazionale both winning 18 titles. Italian sides have a strong record in European competitions despite struggling for silverware in recent seasons.

Juventus stole the headlines in the summer of 2018 by signing Cristiano Ronaldo from Real Madrid. The signing signifies a desire to win the Champions League and stay ahead of the competition in Italy. 

The top four teams in Serie A make the UEFA Champions League the following season, with three spots open in the UEFA Europa League for the Italian Cup winners and teams finishing fifth and sixth in Italy's top flight.
