October 4th: Saturday's Serie A Double – 4/1 Special, Betting Tips & Predictions

While October’s international break might be interrupt Europe’s elite next week, we still have a stacked Saturday schedule from across the continent.

Although reigning Italian champions Inter Milan might be hoping to skyrocket their way to the top of the Serie A standings this weekend, this season’s title chase could be an epic.

With four blockbuster Italian showdowns on the cards across Saturday, we have taken a look at a couple of the most attractive Serie A betting tips which are available.

14:00 Parma vs Lecce

Signing off the 2024/25 campaign with an iconic 3-2 victory away at Atalanta, Parma have rightfully gained a reputation for their rugged approach under Carlos Cuesta’s guidance. Last seen clinching an eye-catching 2-1 win at home against Torino, the former Arsenal coach will be smelling the chance to for his squad to extend on their recent turn in fortunes. Extending on their Coppa Italia adventure last week as they edged past Spezia, Cuesta’s men will also be excited by their extended dominance on home soil. Marking their return from September’s international break with a 1-1 stalemate against La Dea, Parma have remarkably suffered just a single defeat from any of their previous 10 consecutive matchups at the Stadio Ennio Tardini – a run that stems all the way back to February 16th. Despite failing to record consecutive Serie A victories since way back in March 2024, the Crusaders will be smelling a potential opportunity here.

While Lecce might have remarkably dragged themselves across the finishing line last season as they clung to their Serie A status, it is no secret that the Salentians are pencilled in as a landslide relegation contender this time around. Opening this weekend’s fixtures sat rock-bottom of the table, Eusebio Di Francesco’s men have rightfully come under serious scrutiny. Watching their respective Coppa Italia adventure come to a thumping end on September 23rd as they slumped to a routine 3-0 drumming against AC Milan, the Apulia-based outfit have also put just two points on the board from any of their first five Serie A showdowns. Marking their return from September’s fortnight interval with a 4-1 loss at the hands of Atalanta, Lecce have also shown some worrying defensive issues. Including a shock 2-1 defeat at home against Cagliari last month, Saturday’s guests have shipped 13 goals in their previous five matchups across all competitions.

19:45 Atalanta vs Como

While Atalanta might have got a new era underway over the summer following Ivan Juric’s arrival in Bergamo, La Dea have enjoyed a bright start to life under the former Southampton boss. Putting a maiden Champions League victory on the board in midweek as they clinched a 2-1 win at home against Club Brugge, last season’s bronze medalists have suffered just a single defeat from any of their first seven appearances across all competitions. Marking their return from September’s international break with a thumping 4-1 victory against relegation scrappers Lecce, Atalanta should also be excited by their recent clinical performances in the final third. Laying down a domestic marker last month as they stormed their way to an emphatic 3-0 romp away at Torino, Atalanta have registered eight goals in just their previous three domestic showdowns. However, it should be highlighted, getting their European adventure underway with a 4-0 drumming against French giants PSG on September 17th, La Dea have recorded just a sole clean sheet from their last 10 competitive appearances.

Securing a top-half finish among Italy’s elite last season, Como certainly gained a string of plaudits from across the continent. Only continuing on what has been a sensational rise under the guidance of Cesc Fabregas, some have tipped the Voltaics as a potential European dark horse this year. Extending on their Coppa Italia adventure last month as they stormed their way to a stellar 3-0 romp against Sassuolo, the one-time Arsenal skipper finds the mood in his camp at a continued high. Getting the 2025/26 campaign underway with an impressive 2-0 win at home against Lazio on August 24th, Como should be excited by a trip to Bergamo this weekend. Last seen on their travels landing an eye-catching 2-1 victory against Fiorentina, Fabregas’ camp also sprung a heavyweight upset when they last travelled to Bergamo. Securing an action-packed 3-2 win when they travelled to Atalanta 13 months ago, the Lombardy-based outfit are more than capable of asking some serious questions here.
