An exhilarating Serie A title race will resume when Napoli, AC Milan, Inter Milan, and Atalanta head into battle this week. We have Serie A Matchday 15 picks and analysis on the biggest games.

The Serie A title race is heating up. League leaders Napoli thrashed Lazio 4-0 over the weekend to move three points clear of AC Milan, who struggled during a 3-1 defeat to Sassuolo. Inter are now just four points behind Napoli after securing back-to-back wins, while in-form Atalanta are also in the mix. All four teams will be desperate to secure vital victories this week.

Here are my top Serie A Matchday 15 picks and predictions (odds via DraftKings, and pick confidence is based on a one-to-five scale).

Serie A Matchday 15 Predictions

Atalanta -1.5 vs. Venezia (-135)

Atalanta have emerged as genuine title contenders after picking up four wins and a draw over their last five games. They battled to a 1-0 win over Juventus this past weekend, leaving them seven points behind Napoli.

Duvan Zapata has been superb, with seven goals over his last seven games, and Gian Piero Gasperini was able to rest Luis Muriel and Josip Ilicic against Juventus. They could come back to wreak havoc in this game.

Venezia are now 16th in the table after losing 2-0 to Inter over the weekend. They fight for every ball, but Venezia lacks the talent that Atalanta can call upon. This match should develop into a reasonably comfortable home win for La Dea.

Juventus -1.25 Asian Handicap vs. Salernitana (-125)

Juventus were installed as preseason favorites to win the Scudetto after bringing Max Allegri back to the club over the summer.

The optimism that came with his return is now a distant memory. Losing to Atalanta over the weekend left the Bianconeri seventh in the table and 14 points behind Napoli.

They lost 4-0 to Chelsea in the Champions League in their previous game. Police also recently raided the club’s offices, seizing documents relating to player transfers and finances.

Yet this match is an opportunity to secure a morale-boosting win against a team that sits bottom of the table and looks out of its depth in Serie A. Juventus should win with ease, even if they're lacking confidence right now.

AC Milan to beat Genoa and Under 4.5 goals (+100)

The Rossoneri have lost a little ground in the title race after suffering back-to-back defeats to Fiorentina and Sassuolo.

Defender Fikayo Tomori was missing in those games, and Milan could be a lot stronger if he returns to the fold against Genoa.

Meanwhile, Genoa are without top scorer Mattia Destro and captain Domenico Criscito due to injury, and the club is a lightweight without that duo. The team is marooned in the relegation zone, so this game should allow AC Milan to return to its winning ways.
