With this season’s Serie A title chase looking like it will go down to the wire, we have a stacked Italian schedule on the cards across Sunday.
Watching AC Milan welcome Lazio to the San Siro for what is a heavyweight showdown, the likes of Roma will also steal centre stage this weekend.
With a string of eye-catching affairs from across Serie A and Serie B respectively, we have taken a look at some of Sunday’s most appealing Italian betting markets.
14:00 Bologna vs Cagliari
Making an immediate return to winning ways earlier in the week as they collected a heavyweight scalp in Emilia-Romagna, Bologna should find the mood in their camp at a red-hot high. Snatching a 2-1 victory against AC Milan, Vincenzo Italiano’s men have their sights firmly set on snapping up another famous European finish this season. Continuing to receive a string of plaudits from across Italy’s elite this year, Sunday’s hosts have suffered just a single defeat from any of their previous 12 consecutive appearances across all competitions. Signing off their maiden Champions League adventure with a 2-1 win against German giants Borussia Dortmund, Bologna have also gained a reputation for their dominance on home soil. In fact, Italiano’s side have won their previous five showdowns at the Stadio Renato Dall’Ara by an aggregate score of 12-5. Likewise, the Greyhounds have suffered just a sole defeat in front of their owns supporters since the end of November.
While Cagliari might have marked their return from Italy’s festive break in the midst of a real flurry, Sunday’s guests have struggled to find any real stability over the past month. Last seen felling to a 1-0 loss at home against Italian heavyweights Juventus, the Islanders are firmly looking over their shoulder at a looming relegation scrap. Getting this weekend’s fixtures underway holding just a four-point buffer over the drop zone, Davide Nicola’s side look set for another stern examination here. Signing off January with a routine 2-0 defeat away at Torino, Cagliari have recorded just a single win from any of their previous four Serie A appearances. Pencilled in as a landslide underdog on Sunday afternoon, Nicola’s camp should also be concerned by a nightmare record against Bologna. Including a 2-0 loss when they welcomed the Greyhounds to Sardinia for their reverse meeting on October 29th, they have lost all of their last four meetings by an aggregate score of 7-2.

14:00 Catanzaro vs Reggiana
While Catanzaro might have suffered play-off heartbreak last season, the Southern Eagles have shown no signs of a hangover this time around. Enjoying what has become another sensational Serie B romp, Fabio Casarta’s side are riding a major wave of momentum. Last seen putting in another gritty display as they clinched a 1-0 victory away at Spezia, the Calabria-based outfit find the mood in their camp at a red-hot high. Getting this weekend’s fixtures underway sat in the driving seat to clinch a top-four finish, Catanzaro have collected 13 points from their previous five Serie B appearances. In fact, recording back-to-back clean sheets for the first time since the start of November, the former Benevento boss has not seen his squad suffer a single defeat from any of their previous nine consecutive Serie B showdowns. Likewise, it’s also worth highlighting that Casarta’s men have registered 10 points from their last four matchups at the Stadio Nicola Cerevolo.
Although Reggiana might have entered Italy’s festive break with consecutive Serie B victories, it appears that was just a minor boost for the Maroons. Facing a real battle to keep hold of their second-tier status in 2025, William Viali’s side have shown a string of inconstancies this season. Along with failing to win any of their last four outings, they have also notched just a single Serie B victory from any of their seven outings since opening the New Year. Getting February underway with a routine 2-0 loss away at Sudtirol, Reggiana have also notched just a sole win outside of Emilia-Romagna over the past three months. Getting this weekend’s fixtures underway holding just a one-point buffer from slipping into the drop zone, Viali’s men should be bracing themselves for another tricky test here. Given what has been a huge recent gulf in class between Sunday’s opponents, we are backing a home victory for the play-off contenders.
