Serie A predictions

Serie A is the highest rank of Italian football and one of the best football leagues in Europe. The league is also referred to as the “Scudetto” because the winners are not only awarded the Campioni d’Italia title, but are also presented with a scudetto (little shield), which is a decorative patch with colours of the Italian flag that the winners wear on their jerseys the following season.

Founded all the way back in 1929 as a round-robin top-tier league, Serie A is one of the oldest European leagues and has always been very popular. Furthermore, Italian teams are consistently among the best in Europe.
