Despite Juventus being the Serie A champions for nine consecutive seasons,the oddsmakersdon’tactually favor them for this matchup. Ronaldo’s side have actually lostfive points in the last fiveleague games, and thus, FanDuel don’t see them as favorites in the Atalanta clash. The Lombardy side are sitting just behind Juventus on the Serie A table, with the Turin club havinga one-pointadvantage.

As a result, Atalanta are at +135to win this matchup while the wageron Juve is at +175. At $100, the bettor could earn$175. Knowing that this game will be a “do or die” one for both sides, acorrect score of2-2for example is paying out +1000, if you want to bet on it, as a correct score line might be much more interesting than an outright bet.

Napoli vs Interbetting picks (Sunday, April 18)

It’s safe to say that Inter can already be crowned champions, despite not having secured the title mathematically just yet. TheNerazzurri are stronger than ever, as they haven’t lost a league game since January 6, when Sampdoria surprised them with a 2-1 win. Thus, FanDuel seethemas the firm favorites in this match. Napoli are placed fifth but they would definitely have a reason to upset the leaders and make the Champions League race even more stiff and interesting.

The Naplesteamare +200underdogswhile betting on Inter claiming a win here is at +130, andthematchupending with no winner is at +240.It looksunlikelythat Gennaro Gattuso’s polayers could do some damage to the Nerazzuri’s incredible run, so betting that the game ends in a 2-1 win forIntercould be a sure bet, at +800, a$100 bet could earn the bettor $800.If you got to pick anyone to put the ball in the back of the net in this game look no further thanRomelu Lukaku,as heis at +360to bethe first one to score
