Prop Picks: Can Lautaro Pick Up Where He Left Off?

Whilst Inter have strengthened in the summer window, Genoa have suffered some major departures in Mateo Retegui (Atalanta) and Josep Martinez (Inter) and look set to lose Albert Gudmundsson to Fiorentina in the coming days.

Having finished comfortably mid-table in their return to Serie A, the Grifone runs the risk of suffering from sophomore syndrome and falling into a relegation battle. Although they managed to kick off their campaign with a 1-0 win vs. Reggiana in the Coppa Italia, Alberto Gilardino’s side will have a vastly more difficult task ahead of them as they attempt to subdue the reigning champions.

🚨🇦🇷 𝐎𝐅𝐅𝐈𝐂𝐈𝐀𝐋 | Lautaro Martínez (26) extends his Inter contract until 2029! 💙🖤

We’re backing Inter (-190) to come away with the victory in our Serie A betting picks, and we’re backing Lautaro Martinez to have a significant role to play. After losing strike partners Edin Dzeko and Romelu Lukaku in the summer of 2023, it didn’t take Lautaro long to strike up chemistry with new recruit Marcus Thuram, with the two combining to perfection and spearheading Inter to the Scudetto.

Lautaro was running away with the top scorer award from the very start and it didn’t matter that he went on a two-month goalless drought toward the end of the season. He still finished with 24 goals, eight clear of second-placed Dusan Vlahovic, and claimed his first-ever Capocannoniere award.

Lautaro headed for the United States, where he served as the backup center forward to Julian Alvarez but still managed to finish as the top scorer in the Copa America with five goals. After replacing Alvarez in extra time, Lautaro stole the show with a goal in the 112th minute to secure a 1-0 victory against Colombia in Miami and Argentina’s third straight major trophy.

He’s a surefire addition to your Serie A betting picks for this weekend’s fixtures, and there’s reason to believe that he’ll be riding high on momentum after agreeing to a contract extension through 2029 and a significant raise.

Whilst Lautaro has struggled in the past against Genoa, we’re backing him to put those woes behind him and demonstrate once again why he is one of the finest center forwards in the world. At +135, the odds are in the Argentine striker’s favor as he looks to continue his red-hot form against Genoa.

Best Bets: Lautaro Martinez to score (+135). Inter to win (-190)
