Today’s top Seria A Betting picks come from a total of three game slate we have on a regular Monday, which is not typical for the Italian top flight. The first two games start at 1830 GMT with high-flying Sassuolo taking on Monza, while Toro hosts Verona. The late night showdown would be between La Viola and Cagliari, and we have prepared excellent betting tips for all of them.
Sassuolo v Monza Prediction
Two attack-minded teams go heat-to-head at the Mapei stadium on Monday afternoon. Sassuolo have made headlines over the last two rounds with consecutive, super impressive wins against two of the main title contenders. First, they defeated Juventus at home by 4:2, and if that wasn’t enough of a shock, then they followed it up with a comeback win by 1:2 against Inter at the Meazza. As usual, Berrardi was instrumental in both victories. Sassuolo have plenty of quality in their lineup, especially up front where they play with 3 attacking midfieilders behind a central forward in ex-Inter product Andrea Pinamonti. The three players behind the former Inter man are Berrardi on the right flang, the impressive and rising star Frenchman Armand Lauriente, and Nedim Bajrami in the middle. Sassuolo’s midfield is a bit thin, but that wasn’t a problem against the likes of Juve and Inter, so it’s hard to see it as an issue against Monza.
Monza play in a 3-4-3 formation, so again we have an attack-minded team with three players up front – Dany Mota on the left wing, Colpani on the right, and Colombo in the middle. With four players in the middle of the pitch, Monza might take control in terms of ball possession. An interesting stat about Monza’s latest games is that they have been on a draw streak with three straight draws on a row. The last one was a goalless draw against Bologna. Prior to it, they had a couple of 1:1 draws – against Lazio in Rome and Lecce at home.

Torino v Verona Prediction
Continuing our list of top Seria A betting picks for Monday, we present the most accurate Torino v Verona prediction. Torino have made a somewhat positive start to this campaign having already recorded two wins from their first five matches, and a draw at home against Roma. Their last game was against Lazio in Rome, where they failed to capitalize on a dominating first half and ended up losing 2:0 in the second. Former Atalanta man Zapata scored a late equalizer in the draw against Roma, so he is fitting in nicely in Toro’s red shirt. However, Zapata is not expected to start against Verona today as former Verona coach Ivan Juric will probably go with Sanabria, Karamoh and Vlasic.
In a press conference yesterday, Ivan Juric said he expects to find a furious Toro again: “We recovered a lot of energy, especially from a mental point of view, which we weren’t able to recover well between the match against Roma and the one against Lazio: tomorrow I hope that Toro will be very, very excited. We must grow above all in terms of mentality, and become something – in the sense of strength – that we are not yet. Example: after two consecutive victories, after an excellent draw against Roma and after a first half dominated and in control at home to Lazio, in the second half on Wednesday we should have felt that it was time to deliver the final blow.”
“Now we have to get really excited for this match. From the day after tomorrow we will try to bring these guys even higher to be more competitive in the derby. But now – continues Juric – we all remain focused on Verona, a team that has spirit, that has already put everyone is in difficulty: they play like us from a conceptual point of view. Tomorrow will be a battle: I expect a very dirty match, not one of great beauty. We need to bring it home by taking advantage of every situation.”

Fiorentina v Cagliari Prediction
This top Fiorentina v Cagliari prediction is our last Seria A betting pick for Monday. La Viola have won three of their opening six matches and drawn two. They have just a single defeat, and it was against title favorites Inter, albeit with a 4:0 scoreline. All in all, Fiorentina have looked like an improved team this season as they have an excellent start in Seria A while also playing in Europe where they qualified for the groups of the UEFA Conference League.
Not a lot of good things can be said about Cagliari and their start to the season. They find themselves rock bottom of the Calcio standings with just two draws and four defeats, and an aggregate scoreline of -7. Ranieri’s troops have scored just two goals while conceding nine! It does look like Cagliari are serious contenders for the drop this season. Having said that, it’s understandable that Fiorentina are odds on favorites to win this game at about 1.45.
