Serie A winner odds 2024/25: Outright betting odds for Italian top-flight title
The 2024/25 Serie A campaign is underway and there’s a surprise name at the top of the table, with Udinese leading the way.
Inter Milan are the defending champions after storming their way to the title last season, finishing 19 points clear of second-placed AC Milan. The Nerazzuri lost just two of their 38 games and won 29, with the best attack and defence.
The question is, can they retain their crown?

Inter Milan
Understandably, the defending champions are the early odds-on favourites to reclaim their Serie A crown. They bolstered their squad in the summer transfer window with a handful of decent players, aiding Simone Izaghi’s rotation options.
Inter will be hoping last season’s triumph is like 2005/06, which started a run of five-straight Serie A titles. That run ended with the Treble in 2009/10. The last time Inter were defending champions, they lost the title by two points to rivals AC Milan. It’s been an indifferent start to the current defence for Inter, who have won two and drawn two of their opening four games.
Juventus
It’s now four years since Juventus last won the title. Their success in 2019/20 was Juventus’ ninth in a row, but they have since fallen away with a lot to worry about. Last season was the first since winning the league that Juventus have broken into the top three.
But there is a new face at the helm with Thiago Motta replacing Massimiliano Allegri, who left towards the end of last season. Motta has made an okay start all things considered, with two wins and two draws.
AC Milan
After their second-placed finish last season, AC Milan will be hoping they can become the third club to win 20 Serie A titles. They had drawn level with rivals Inter Milan in their last title win, but now sit in third on the list of Italian champions. AC Milan were busy bolstering their squad in the summer, with the likes of Youssouf Fofana, Emerson Royal and Alvaro Morata all coming in.
However, they had a rough start to the new season, drawing two and losing one of their opening three matches. Paulo Fonseca’s men did finally get a win in their fourth match, though, beating Venezia 4-0.
Napoli
Napoli’s title defence last season was dismal, but can they return to the top of the table? I Partenopei finished 10th last season, some 41 points off top spot and seven outside the European places. But without European football to hinder them, Napoli are fancied to challenge once more with Antonio Conte at the helm.
However, Conte is Conte and is already reportedly unhappy with things at Napoli. Nevertheless, after losing their opening game Napoli have since won three on the bounce to sit second.
Serie A 2024/25 relegation | Favourites
Venezia
One of the three newly-promoted sides, a lot of fans will be following Venezia closely, having gained a cult following due to their football kits. This is Venezia’s first season in Serie A since 2021/22, spending the past two years in the second tier. But they haven’t spent more than one consecutive season in Serie A since 1999/2000 and are favourites to go straight back down. It’s just one point from four games so far for Venezia.
Empoli
Surprisingly, second favourites to go down from Serie A were in the division last season. Empoli secured safety by just one point last season, managing nine wins from their 38 games. They’re relying on a lot of temporary players this season, with nine of their 10 arrivals in the summer coming in on loan. Even so, Empoli are unbeaten after four games with a win and three draws.
Cagliari
One place above Empoli last season, on head-to-head, were Cagliari. And they too are fancied to battle relegation this season. Only three teams won fewer games than Cagliari’s eight last season, with their one draw keeping them ahead of Frosinone — who had the better head-to-head record. They remain winless after four games, with two draws and two defeats.
Como
Like Venezia, Como are one of the newly-promoted sides heavily tipped to go down. Cesc Fabregas’ side are still winless after four games, with two wins and two draws. However, it’s worth noting that their defeats were to Juventus and Udinese, the latter currently sitting top of the league.
