Inter Milan will head into the 2026/27 Serie A season as both the defending champions and betting favourites to make it back-to-back Scudetto wins. Cristian Chivu’s side were simply too good for the rest of the league last season. The Nerazzurri walked to the title with 87 points, scoring 89 goals to finish with a remarkable +54 goal difference. They also beat Lazio 2-0 in the Coppa Italia final to complete the domestic double. Given those stats, it’s little wonder Inter are the favourites in the latest Serie A odds. Roma and Como were the surprise packages last season. They finished third and fourth and will play in the Champions League. AC Milan and Juventus both missed out. As a result, Milan became one of nine Serie A teams to change head coach in a chaotic summer in Italy. Below I look ahead to the title race and cover the latest Serie A odds 2026/27 in more detail. I’ll also be taking a closer look at the top scorer market and the potential matchups between the Italian clubs and English Premier League teams in Europe this season. Serie A title odds 2026/27The bookmakers clearly believe Inter Milan are the team to beat and look set to pick up from where they left off last season. Cristian Chivu’s side finished 11 points ahead of second-place Napoli, 14 ahead of Roma in third and 16 ahead of fourth-place Como.Inter’s 89-goal haul was also 24 more than any other team managed to score. Como (65) and Juventus (61) were the only other two teams to score over 60 goals in Serie A.Roma had a memorable first season under new head coach Gian Piero Gasperini. He was brought in to revitalise the club after a troubled 2024/25 campaign. The former Atalanta head coach did just that, leading the Giallorossi to a third-place finish on 73 points. However, the real story of last season has to be Como’s fourth-place finish. In what was only their second season since returning to the top flight, the Biancoblù won their final three matches of the season to sneak into fourth place and the Champions League with 71 points. AC Milan and Juventus both finished outside of the top four. They are two of the biggest names in world football and both have strengthened this summer and look set to be more competitive this season. So with six teams in the mix, here is the latest Scudetto odds for the 2026/27 season:Inter Milan – Evens with bet365Juventus – 11/2 with BetwayAC Milan – 6/1 with LadbrokesRoma – 10/1 with BetVictorNapoli – 12/1 with BOYLE SportsComo – 28/1 with Betway*Odds are correct as of 31st August, and are subject to change.The Inter Milan title odds are short but it is understandable given how dominant they were last season. The rest of the betting is open to debate. The bookmakers are favouring Juventus and AC Milan to have a bounce back season ahead of Roma and Napoli. Como’s longer odds could be down to them taking part in the Champions League for the first time. But Juve and Milan are also in European action in the Europa League, a competition both will believe they can win. It will be interesting to see if the bookies have got this right. Inter’s title defence and the chasing packThere has been chaos at a lot of Serie A clubs this summer. But unlike some, Inter have had no reason to hit the panic button and have instead just quietly gone about their business with astute signings. Nine Serie A clubs have changed their head coach this summer. One of them were city-rivals AC Milan and another were runners-up Napoli. However, Roma, Como and Juventus do still retain the same head coaches and this stability could be something to build on in the new season.Inter Milan under Cristian ChivuWhen Cristian Chivu replaced Simone Inzaghi in the summer of 2025 there were plenty of reservations about the inexperienced Romanian’s ability to do such a high-profile job. Getting the negatives out of the way first, Inter had a poor Champions League campaign last season. They qualified for the knockout stages by finishing 10th in group phase but were dumped out in the playoff round, sensationally losing 5-2 on aggregate to little-known Norwegian outfit Bodø/Glimt.This was quite a disappointment for the team who reached the final of Europe’s elite club competition the previous season. However, domestically, things couldn’t have gone much better for Chivu. Yes, it’s fair to say that a lot of Inter’s rivals underachieved. But even if their rivals had done better, it’s difficult to imagine any would have bettered Inter’s 87-point Scudetto clinching total. There’s simply no recent evidence to justify this. Napoli won Serie A the season before with 82 points. In the 2023/24 season when Inter won the league with 94 points, their closest rivals AC Milan, finished second on just 75.And it’s not just points. Inter are also streets ahead when it comes to scoring goals. They scored 89 goals last season. In the 2024/25 campaign they managed 79, and in 2023/24, they also scored 89. This points to attacking consistency. Lautaro Martínez and Marcus Thuram have remained at the club and will continue to lead the attack in the 2026/27 season. So we can expect to see the goals continue to flow. However, there have been some changes to the playing staff elsewhere in the squad this summer. Experienced goalkeeper Yann Sommer was a high-profile exit, but the biggest loss is probably Denzel Dumfries departing for Real Madrid. The loss of Dumfries has been offset by the arrivals of John Stones and Djed Spence from the Premier League. Both will only further bolster an already strong defensive backline. Aleksandar Stanković also returned to the club after Inter opted to activate their €23 million buy-back clause and re-sign him from Club Brugge. Inter Milan for a back-to-back Scudetti at Evens with bet365 The chasing packWith finishes in the top two over the past two seasons, Napoli are the obvious main threat to Inter. They finished last season 11 points behind, but it was a turbulent one that resulted in Antonio Conte exiting the club in the summer. Conte has since been replaced by the experienced Massimiliano Allegri. On the playing side, Rasmus Højlund‘s permanent transfer from Manchester United was confirmed this summer. Højlund enjoyed a solid if not spectacular debut season on loan, scoring 12 goals in 33 matches. Exiting the club is Romelu Lukaku. The Belgian striker left for Fenerbahçe after an injury-hit last season saw him play just five matches for the runners-up. Roma will be looking to build on last season’s third-place finish. When Gian Piero Gasperini was put in charge last summer, the assumption was he would get the team playing with the same attacking style and flair that his Atalanta team played with.However, it was anything but. The Giallorossi did score a respectable 59 goals, but it was at the back where Gasperini made the biggest impact, with his team conceding just 31 goals, the second fewest in Serie A.If Gasperini can get the Romans scoring more freely while retaining their defensive shape, they could be even more dangerous this season.Elsewhere, AC Milan have reacted to missing out on Champions League football. The Rossoneri finished fifth last season and instantly sacked their whole football management team, including head coach Massimiliano Allegri. It’s in the dugout where they have made their most eye-catching appointment, bringing in Ruben Amorim as their new head coach.The former Manchester United boss is attempting to rebuild his reputation after Michael Carrick completely turned around the fortunes at Old Trafford following Amorim’s dismissal.The new Milan boss has been backed in the transfer market with the arrival of Gonçalo Ramos from PSG as the club attempts to address its goalscoring problem. Milan only managed 53 goals last season, the fewest of the top six. And this played a significant part in their poor finish to the season that saw them win just one of their last five and drop out of the Champions League positions. Finally, Juventus. The Old Lady finished sixth last season on 69 points. They also endured a difficult end to the season, winning just one of their last five matches. But instead of firing their head coach, Juve stuck with Luciano Spalletti. The former Italy boss only took over in October 2025 on a short-term contract, but after an impressive run he signed a two-year extension in April taking him through to 2028.Spalletti will begin the new season without Dusan Vlahović. The Serb finally ended his time in Turin when left for Beşiktaş in the summer. Randal Kolo Muani returned to the club on a permanent transfer to replace the departing striker.Performances will have to improve, though. The poor end to last season can’t be ignored and Spalletti will need a strong start to the new campaign if he is to hold onto his job and mount a title challenge. Back Napoli for a dethrone at 12/1 with BOYLE Sports Como’s fairytale continuesIt may have gone slightly under the radar in the UK, but the biggest story in Serie A last season has to be Como’s fourth-place finish.Led by former Arsenal and Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fàbregas, Como picked up 71 points, scoring 65 goals and conceding just 29, the fewest in Serie A. Furthermore, they kept 19 clean sheets. Again, the best record in the league.As a result of their success, Como are now in the Champions League for the first time in their history. Nico Paz was Como’s star performer last year. The attacking midfielder scored 12 goals and provided six assists for the team. He came close to rejoining Real Madrid in the summer when the Spaniards looked set to activate their €9 million buy-back clause. But in a major boost to the Italians, the player expressed his desire to stay at the club for one more season and eventually Como secured a €60 million deal for the Argentine.Given their attacking talent and defensive stability, odds of 28/1 on Como to win Serie A look very long. Juggling Champions League football with their domestic duties won’t be easy. But given their upward trajectory over the past few years, the Biancoblù are certainly a team worth following. Tip Como to win Serie A at 28/1 with Betway Serie A top scorer oddsLautaro Martínez won the Golden Boot last season with just 17 goals. It was the lowest total to win the award in Italy since Diego Maradona’s 15 goals in 1987/88. Italian football was defensive and more for the purists back in the 1980s and 1990s. These days it’s far more attacking and recent statistics show that last season’s low total was an anomaly. Martínez began the season as the favourite to pick up the Paolo Rossi Award, but with Roma’s Donyell Malen netting a hat trick on opening day, it is the Dutchman who is now the shortest priced at 6/4. Also in the running are AC Milan’s new poacher Gonçalo Ramos at 8/1 and Como’s Anastasios Douvikas at 10/1.Malen has been on fire since joining from Aston Villa, scoring 14 goals in just 18 matches in the second half of last season. The Dutchman had by far the best goals to games ratio of all the leading scorers, and has begun the new campaign very much where he left off! For my betting tip I am going for a new arrival. Gonçalo Ramos has been brought in to score the goals that were missing for AC Milan last season. He is a big money arrival from PSG with a big match temperament and I expect him to be top scorer in Serie A.

When Atalanta first qualified for the competition, they were forced to play their home games at the San Siro. Hopefully for Como’s sake, their stadium will pass the test. One thing that is for sure is that Cesc Fàbregas will take his charges to the newly-renovated Camp Nou, where he three years as a player.The San Siro will play host to Liverpool for a third year in a row, after the Reds beat Inter there 1-0 last season and AC Milan 1-3 the year before – Dominik Szoboszlai scored in both victories. Napoli will begin their campaign at home to Arsenal, hoping for much better this time having failed to finish in the top 24 last season. Roma return to Old Trafford, where they once lost 7-1 in the knockouts.There will be brand new opposition for AC Milan, who will travel to Dorset to face European debutants Bournemouth in the Europa League before hosting Sunderland – who’s only previous continental adventure came in the 1973-74 Cup Winners’ Cup. My Serie A title tipsThe latest Serie A betting odds – from most of our favourite football betting sites – are pointing towards another Scudetto for Inter Milan. It’s hard to argue with that as the Nerazzurri were so much better than the rest of the division last season.Furthermore, none of their rivals have really done anything exceptional in the transfer market this summer to suggest they can bridge the gap. My Serie A betting tips are:Inter to win the Serie AIt looks set to be business as usual in Serie A. Inter have finished in the top two for the previous three years, winning the title by 11 points last season.Of all Inter’s rivals, only AC Milan have torn up the blueprint and started again. The Rossoneri have changed head coach and made some interesting signings, but only time will tell if the changes are for the better.Along with a significant improvement from one of their rivals, Inter’s level will also need to drop if the gap is to be closed. I can see the title race being closer this year, but I still don’t believe any of Inter’s rivals are quite ready to knock them off top spot just yet. Back Inter to win Serie A at Evens with bet365 Como to finish in the top fourThe bookmakers are offering a huge 28/1 on Como to win Serie A. While I don’t think for a minute that Cesc Fàbregas can lead his team to a Scudetto title, I do think that his team is being undervalued here.Como are also sixth in the betting to finish in the top four. Whenever they have been doubted in the past, the Biancoblu have delivered. I have faith in them doing it again and finishing in the Champions League places. Back Como to finish in the top four at 2/1 with Betway Roma to win the ScudettoFinally, my dark horse pick. I’m not convinced that Donyell Malen can continue to score goals at the same rate he did in the second half of last season. If I was, he would have been my top goalscorer betting pick.However, even if his rate only drops slightly, it would still be good enough to put Roma in the title race. Roma boss Gian Piero Gasperini is an experienced campaigner. He is starting his second full season in charge at the Olympic Stadium and I fully expect his team to improve on their previous campaign.The Romans did finish 14 points behind Inter and that is a huge gap to close. But if Malen can get somewhere close to his goalscoring record of last season, then the Giallorossi could be an interesting outside bet at 12/1 with SBK.
