Serie A 2025/26: Champion
Defending champions Napoli had started very well but they have returned from the October international break with a loss to Torino in Italy before a 6-2 defeat to PSV Eindhoven in the UEFA Champions League. Since then, though, they have been able to grind out victories against Inter and Lecce before a draw with Como.
Roma, with Gian Piero Gasperini at the helm, are playing well in terms of results without the performances just yet, whilst AC Milan have become harder to beat and Inter remain in contention, too.
| Team | Odds |
| Internazionale | 6/5 |
| Napoli | 4/1 |
| Milan | 9/2 |
| Roma | 14/1 |
| Juventus | 20/1 |
Serie A 2025/26: Descensos
There are four winless teams after the opening seven rounds of the Serie A table with teams yet to get a victory including predictable strugglers Hellas Verona, Genoa and Pisa, as well as major underperformers Fiorentina.
They have all earned a few draws, though, with the likes of Parma and Lecce only sitting three or two points above the bottom three and the relegation places, respectively.
| Relegation odds | |
|---|---|
| Hellas Verona | 8/15 |
| Lecce | 11/10 |
| Pisa | 5/4 |
| Parma | 2/1 |
| Genoa | 2/1 |
| Cagliari | 2/1 |
| Cremonese | 9/2 |
| Sassuolo | 11/2 |
| Fiorentina | 13/2 |
Serie A 25/26 top scorer picks
The top goalscorer is an interesting market in any top division. In Italy, the Capocannoniere is Serie A’s top scorer award. Mateo Retegui was the top scorer last season but the Italy international has since moved to Al Qadsiah.
Inter striker Lautaro Martinez was the early favourite, and he has returned to that status, with the 2022 FIFA World Cup winner developing and maturing into one of the very best players in the world in recent years.
Jonathan David joined Juve on a free transfer from Lille, and he will be expected to be up there, with Moise Kean likely to continue his good form for Fiorentina, but that hasn't been the case in the opening weeks.
Lautaro Martinez' teammate Marcus Thuram has enjoyed his own good start and he has leapfrogged most to become one of the favourites, with Rasmus Hojlund having enjoyed a strong start to life in Naples.
| Top scorer odds | |
|---|---|
| Lautaro Martinez | 6/1 |
| Marcus Thuram | 6/1 |
| Riccardo Orsolini | 7/1 |
| Rasmus Hojlund | 12/1 |
| Dusan Vlahovic | 14/1 |
| Moise Kean | 14/1 |
Serie A 2025/26 picks: Top 4
That competitive title race doesn't end at the teams already mentioned with several contenders currently sitting outside of the top four in Serie A.
For example, Bologna are on 13 points and three off top spot with Como and Juventus a point back from that and Atalanta just a point behind that, with the Bergamasci still unbeaten after seven matches.
| Top four odds | |
|---|---|
| Internazionale | 1/10 |
| Napoli | 1/6 |
| Milan | 3/10 |
| Juventus | 8/11 |
| Roma | 10/11 |
| Como | 4/1 |
| Atalanta | 11/2 |
| Bologna | 13/2 |
| Lazio | 12/1 |
