11:30 Lecce vs Parma 14:00 Mantova vs Palermo Sunday’s Italian Double

Watching Inter Milan welcome Napoli to the an Siro for a blockbuster Serie A showdown on Sunday night, we have a stacked Italian schedule on the cards this weekend.

Alongside fellow title contenders AC Milan stealing centre stage, there are plenty of noteworthy battles from across Italy’s elite.

So, for those of you looking to stick on a Sunday flutter, we have taken a glance at some of the most attractive Italian betting tips that are available.

11:30 Lecce vs Parma

Only just about dragging themselves over the finishing line last season as they clung to their Serie A status, Lecce are simply hoping for smoother sailing this time around. However, despite securing a 1-0 victory against Pisa on December 12th, the Wolves have once again shown some rather glaring inconstancies. Last seen earlier in the week putting in another downbeat display as they fell to a routine 2-0 loss at home against Italian heavyweight Roma, Eusebio Di Francesco’s men have registered just a sole win from any of their previous five Serie A appearances. Signing off 2025 with a nightmare 3-0 drumming at the hands of European dreamers Como, the Apulia-based outfit are once again looking over their shoulder at another looming relegation scrap this year. Watching their Copa Italia adventure come to an end on September 23rd as they fell to another 3-0 defeat against AC Milan, Lecce have also shown plenty of attacking struggles. Along with recording just a sole strike in their previous three outings, Di Francesco’s side have also bagged just a pair of goals in over 520 minutes of action.

Despite signing off 2025 with a 1-0 win at home against a Fiorentina squad who find themselves at the heart of an infamous Serie A rut, Parma are in an almost identical position to Sunday’s opponents. Last seen earlier in the week falling to their own routine 2-0 loss at home against Inter Milan, the Crusaders simply have their sights set on maintaining their top-flight status this year. However, winning just a pair of their previous seven appearances across all competitions, Carlos Cuesta’s side have also shown some worrying attacking issues. Including a fiery 1-0 defeat against Lazio on December 13th, Parma have failed to record more than a single strike in any of those seven consecutive showdowns. Desperate to find some essential stability, Cuesta’s inconsistent squad should also be concerned by their most recent battle against Lecce. Falling to a shock 1-0 loss when they welcomed the Wolves to Emilia-Romagna for their reverse Serie A matchup on October 4th.

14:00 Mantova vs Palermo

Suffering real frustration last season as they eventually fell short in the race to punch a play-off ticket, Palermo haven’t shown any signs of a hangover this time around. Signing off 2025 with a gritty display as they secured a 1-0 victory at home against Padova, Filippo Inzaghi’s men find the mood in their camp at a red-hot high and they will be confident of opening the New Year with another promotion statement. With their sights firmly set on booking a lucrative Serie A return this season, the Eagles have registered 13 points from their previous five appearances – a run that stems back to a 1-1 stalemate away at Entella on November 22nd. Skyrocketing their way up the table and opening Sunday’s showdown knowing that they can move within touching distance of the authentic promotion spots, the former Pisa boss should be smelling a golden opportunity in Lombardy. With their Serie B purple patch underlined by a dominant 5-0 romp against Carrarese on November 29th, Inzaghi’s camp will be dreaming of a repeat performance this weekend.

Spending the majority of last season essentially sat in Serie B limbo, Mantova were desperately hoping to find some crucial stability this time around. However, embarking on what has quickly become a real second-tier nightie, Francesco Modesto’s men are firmly scrapping it out in the drop zone and they are widely regarded as a standout relegation candidate in 2026. Getting this weekend’s fixtures underway sat four points adrift of safety and continuing to show plenty of cause for concern, the Lombardy-based outfit will be bracing themselves for another stern examination here. Putting in another toothless performance last time out as they eventually had to settle for an uneventful 0-0 stalemate against Carrarese, that is the only Serie B point that Sunday’s hosts have registered from their previous five consecutive appearances. Likewise, last seen at the Stadio Danilo Martelli falling to a 1-0 loss against Empoli, the former Crotone boss will also have a mounting headache over his side’s struggles in the final third. Along with failing to find the net in four of their last five outings, Mantova have also drawn back-to-back blanks in front of their own supporters.
