Every pick shows the kick-off in GMT. Italy is one hour ahead of Ghana in winter and two hours ahead in summer, so a 20:45 Italian evening game starts at 19:45 here from late October to late March and at 18:45 for the rest of the season.

The old image of Italian football, and the current one

Many punters still think of Serie A as the home of 1-0 wins and deep defences. That picture is out of date. Over recent seasons several clubs have adopted pressing, attacking systems, and in several recent seasons goals per game have been comparable with the other big European leagues. Tactical discipline still matters, and some coaches remain very cautious away from home, but blanket "under 2.5 in Italy" thinking misses a lot of open games.

So we treat each fixture on its own numbers. A newly promoted side that defends deep and an attacking top-half team can produce a very different game from two cautious mid-table sides.

Our checklist for an Italian pick

QuestionWhy it matters in Serie A
How does each coach set up away from home?Some Italian coaches change shape completely on the road
What do expected goals say over eight to ten games?Results in tight games can hide how teams are really playing
Who is suspended?Yellow card accumulation regularly removes key players
Is there a European game midweek?Clubs in the Europa League or Champions League often rotate
What is at stake?Late-season games for Europe or survival play very differently from dead rubbers
Is the price right?We skip matches where our estimate does not beat the implied probability

Markets that suit Italian football

  • Both teams to score. Useful when two sides with leaky defences meet; our BTTS predictions page covers the market in depth.
  • Draw no bet. A good fit for favourites that tend to win narrowly or draw, since a draw returns the stake.
  • Under goals lines. Still relevant in specific matchups, for example two defensive mid-table sides late in a season.
  • Cards. Some bookmakers offer bookings markets; they can be volatile and depend heavily on the referee, so we use them rarely.

Serie A correct score picks are not part of this list. If you want them, the scores we do post sit on our correct score page, with the warning that most correct score bets lose.

Reading a Serie A round from Ghana

A typical Italian round is spread over three or four days. A Friday evening game opens it, Saturday brings afternoon and evening matches, Sunday has the lunchtime kick-off followed by an afternoon block and a headline evening fixture, and a Monday night game often closes the round. That spread is useful for punters: you can see Saturday's results and fresh team news before deciding on Sunday's picks, rather than committing to the whole round on Friday.

It also means the prices on later games can move after earlier results change the table. If a rival for a Champions League place drops points on Saturday, a Sunday side may be priced differently by kick-off. We recheck every Sunday and Monday pick on the day for that reason.

Staking Serie A picks in GHS

One level unit per pick. With a monthly betting budget of GHS 300, a unit of GHS 5 lets you ride out the losing runs that every punter meets. Long weekends of Italian football can tempt you to add picks game by game; set the number of bets on Saturday morning and stick to it. If you combine two picks, check the true combined return with our odds calculator first.

  1. Log in at a licensed Ghanaian bookmaker and top up with MoMo (MTN, Telecel Cash or AT Money).

  3. Select the fixture and the market from our pick.

Serie A betting mistakes

  • Assuming every Italian game is low scoring. Look at the actual teams.
  • Ignoring suspensions. Italy's disciplinary list can remove a key defender at short notice.
  • Backing a club because of its name. Historic giants have had poor seasons; current form matters more than history.
  • Forgetting the lunchtime game. An early kick-off on Sunday can start before you have checked the news.

Frequently asked questions

What time are Serie A games in Ghana?

They range from late morning to evening GMT. Italy is one hour ahead of Ghana in winter and two hours ahead in summer.

Is Serie A still a low-scoring league?

Less than its reputation suggests. Many clubs now play attacking football, so each match should be judged on the teams' own numbers.

Which markets do you use for Serie A?

Mostly match result, draw no bet, both teams to score and goals lines, chosen to match the reasoning for each game.

When during the week are Serie A picks posted?

Picks for each day of the round are posted the day before, then rechecked when line-ups appear. Sunday and Monday picks are also reviewed after the Saturday results.

Do you post Serie A correct score tips?

Not on this page. Occasional correct score ideas appear on our correct score page, with small stakes in mind.
