What Are Serie A Betting Stats?
The importance of statistics can’t go overlooked in the world of sports betting. As a result, we at TPP have developed our stats centre to meet all your statistical needs when it comes to football. Our portal provides all the numbers you require from competitions and leagues all over the world.
Serie A is drenched in history and has enjoyed multiple golden eras. The modern iteration may no longer boast the star power of the 90s, but it’s undoubtedly an exciting and unpredictable division to watch.
The fall of Juventus as the league’s supreme force has improved Serie A as a spectacle, and there have been three different winners of the title since Juve last claimed victory in 2020. Simone Inzaghi’s Inter won the league at a canter last season after Napoli dazzled in 2022/23. Inter look set to repeat their success in 2024/25, but you can never write off a dark horse emerging from the abyss.
With multiple tabs to work through, our stats centre is all you need to familiarise yourself with calcio.
The ‘Betting Stats’ tab provides the data for markets typically offered by Serie A bookmakers. For example, data is supplied for various goals markets, including both teams to score (BTTS). Plus, the tables are ever so easy to interpret. On the BTTS tab, we provide the percentage of games in which both teams have scored during the ongoing season. There’s similar data for BTTS & Win markets, as well as BTTS in both the first- and second halves.
By using TPP’s betting stats, you can make more informed betting decisions. For instance, 61% of Milan’s Serie A games last season saw both teams scoring. While you should be wary that Milan are under new management heading into the 2024/25 season, such numbers would’ve suggested last season that their matches were more likely than not to have both teams scoring.
Separate home and away Serie A stats are provided for the array of different metrics and markets we supply, and it’s important to delineate between the two. Using the aforementioned example, while only 47% of Milan’s home matches had both teams scoring, 74% of their away outings did. That’s a huge swing that would greatly affect your betting strategy.
Serie A Player Stats
Players make the football world go round. Our Serie A player’s stats section is one of the best you’ll find online, and we have tons of markets just waiting for you to explore.
Player stats can often be used for bet builders… we're sure we’ve all used a player market like ‘Lautaro Martinez anytime goalscorer’. If you do some extra research, these can add loads of value.
There is a litany of different statistics available as part of our Serie A stats centre. Beyond goals, you can look at shots on target, fouls, cards, and passing statistics. Bookmakers allow punters to include an array of player stats markets as part of their bet builders — from passes completed to tackles made, so our stats centre will certainly come in handy when placing such bets.
We also recommend you break each statistic down into per 90 minutes to get an average figure, which is more useful when betting on an individual Serie A match.
Serie A Top Scorers
We may no longer be in the golden era of trequartisti and number nines, but Serie A is still home to a fair share of elite marksmen.
Lautaro Martinez has forged quite the reputation at title holders Inter, Marcus Thuram shone during his debut season at San Siro, Victor Osimhen was Capocannoniere two seasons ago, and Dusan Vlahovic remains a highly coveted forward asset at Juventus.
Overall, you should not buy into the narrative that Serie A is a dull and dreary division. While it remains tactical and occasionally slow (particularly when the big teams meet), goals are scored at a rate similar to the other premier divisions in Europe.
Serie A Goalkeeper Stats
Boasting the likes of Dino Zoff, Gianluigi Buffon, and Gianluigi Donnarumma, Italy have consistently been able to produce some of the greatest goalkeepers of all time.
The ever-increasing popularity of bet builders means bookies offer punters more choice in terms of markets, and goalkeeper stats such as saves can now be included. It’s easy to gauge the premier shot-stoppers in Serie A via our stats hub, but it’s worth noting that the best teams don’t necessarily boast the most active goalkeepers.
In fact, only three of the top ten goalkeepers who made the most saves in Serie A last season played for teams that finished in the top half. Superior teams are more likely to have better defences, and their goalkeepers are less likely to be worked on a game-by-game basis.
Of course, when placing goalkeeper bets, it’s important that you analyse the opponents and how prolific they are in attack, too.
Serie A 2024/25 Team Stats
If you think of any bet, we probably have stats for it! With over 30 different betting markets and dozens of submarkets to choose from, the possibilities are endless. Some of the most popular ones include:
The 2024/25 Serie A season will once again throw up plenty of intrigue with several contenders aiming to dethrone Inter at the top of the table. Calcio giants Milan and Juventus are reinventing themselves with new ideas at the forefront, while Napoli can never be ruled out with Antonio Conte in charge. Oh, and how about Roma with Daniele De Rossi and their exciting-looking squad? Could they mount a charge?
If Inter stroll to the title again, the top four race will be exhilarating!
Our Serie A team stats tab offers an endless list of figures that can help you understand styles and tendencies. The data ensures you're better informed, thus increasing the likelihood of placing more accurate wagers on Serie A matches.

Serie A Goals per Match
The Italians were pioneers of ‘catenaccio’ (door bolt in English), which focused on defensive rigidity, man-marking, and sweeping. Helenio Herrera’s ‘Grande Inter’ and Nereo Rocco’s Milan were two of the most successful units to adopt such a system, with Italian football being dominated by what was regarded by commentators as a revolutionary but ultimately primitive system.
Counter-revolutionaries have worked hard to provide a more swashbuckling style to the Italian game, and we can now safely say that while some catenaccio principles remain, the system in its entirety is wildly outdated.
Serie A has continued to pride itself on stout defending and tactical mastery, but there are plenty of goals, too! The division hasn’t averaged fewer than two goals per game since 1980/81, and under 2.5 since 2000. An average of 2.61 were scored in 2023/24.
Serie A is now home to some of the game’s brightest minds that adopt Cruyffian principles synonymous with front-footed, attacking football. Thiago Motta and Vincenzo Italiano’s teams are among those that will entertain, while Simone Inzaghi’s Inter scored 89 goals last season.
Serie A Corner Stats
Corner betting has been a part of the average football betting strategy for some time, with its prominence sky-rocketing following the introduction of online betting.
There are various corner markets typically available on Serie A matches, including the popular over/under. Our Serie A stats hub provides up-to-date data for every team in the division regarding their corner statistics, including how many on average they take and surrender per match.
Teams that sustain attacks and dominate ball possession in the opposition’s half tend to win more corners than those that surrender territory and focus on counterattacking. Our stats centre also provides a percentage for the number of games in which each teams hits a certain number of corners.
Over the past three Serie A seasons, the average number of corners per match hasn’t deviated too drastically. In 2023/24 and 2021/22, there were 9.6 on average, and 9.4 in 2022/23.
Serie A Penalty Stats
Between 1 January 2020 and 1 April 2023, a penalty was awarded in Serie A every 235 minutes – the seventh-highest rate across all UEFA leagues and highest among Europe’s top five leagues.
The figures were sky-high again last season, with 129 spot-kicks being awarded in 380 matches.
Some might point to the supposed ‘defensive nature’ of the division, but a more significant factor in the frequent number of penalties is the harsh implementation of the video assistant referee (VAR). Italian officials are much more willing to award penalties for seemingly minor offences, with players being harshly punished, in particular, for soft handball offences.
With the technology ensuring that goalkeepers stay on their line during the penalty run-up, takers are now more likely to succeed. The penalty conversion rate in Serie A last season was as high as 79% – the sixth-highest in Europe.
The likelihood of a penalty being awarded in a Serie A match should influence who you place goalscorer bets on. Penalty takers are often likely to get a chance to score. And no player scored more Serie A penalties last season than Inter’s Hakan Calhanoglu (10).
Serie A Referee Stats
Italian referees have gained a reputation for being pretty card-happy, and the stats certainly back that up. Between the 2015/16 and 2019/20 seasons, Serie A referees handed out an average of 5.03 cards per match – the eighth-highest rate out of all UEFA leagues, only behind Spain among the continent’s top five divisions.
This figure has declined in recent seasons, but Serie A referees have still issued more than 4.5 cards per match over the last three campaigns.
These figures are important when betting on Serie A markets such as cards or fouls committed. Individual referee statistics are important, too, as particular officials have a greater tendency to turn to their pocket and penalise players. Andrea Colombo, for example, handed out a whopping average of 6.36 cards over 14 Serie A matches last season. On the contrary, Michael Fabbri, who officiated nine games, averaged 3.66.
So, while the league average for cards is high, each referee is different, so do take that into account when placing bets on individual Serie A matches.
Serie A 2024/25 Standings
The standings are often a gem hidden in plain sight, possibly offering insight into a team’s form and level within the league.
Our page goes the extra mile with a form guide, showing a team’s results over the last five games. Green circles depict wins, red circles are losses, while grey circles are draws. Sometimes, the Serie A table will not provide the full picture. A team may be X places higher than another, but you may be taking a risk to beat the opponent in question if they’re heading into a match having lost three of their previous five games.
For Serie A 2024/25, it’ll take a little while to gauge trends and patterns. We don’t recommend using last season’s data when trying to work out a team’s form.

How Stats Help When Betting on Serie A
Every sports bettor will succumb to a hunch or instinct — we all think our ‘gut’ knows best. And while there may be times where mere hunches pay off, relying on these is simply not sustainable in the long run.
You should use data to complement what you already know. There’s no denying that statistical analysis is incredibly useful for football betting; what do you think bookies use when they’re setting their odds — hunches or numbers?
Data-Driven Betting Decisions
The use of statistics reduces the advantage bookies have over you, evening out the playing field. If you’re able to analyse patterns and trends based on data, you’re simply more likely to predict what could occur in a game.
There are things that happen in a football match that can be missed by the eye, but the data is always recorded. Let's say you want to place a corners bet on a Serie A match between Fiorentina and Genoa, how does your ‘gut’ plan on helping you out? The data will always be there for you to interpret, assess, and analyse.
