Five matchdays have been enough to make the Scudetto race interesting once again. Inter remain one of the teams most strongly expected to challenge for the title, while Roma and Lazio have made impressive starts and positioned themselves towards the top of the table. And then there is Milan.
Ruben Amorim’s side have collected 11 points from their opening five league games and remain unbeaten. After draws against Juventus and Lazio, their 3-0 victory over Lecce at San Siro provided further momentum, with Christian Pulisic, Adrien Rabiot and Diego Moreira all finding the net.
The betting market is also continuing to closely follow the evolution of Serie A. For those following football Betting, Betway offers numerous markets covering the Italian league, from individual matches to the Scudetto race, with odds capable of changing throughout the season.
Serie A Scudetto odds
According to Betway’s odds recorded on 10 August 2026, Milan were priced at 6.00 to win the Scudetto. That put the Rossoneri among the leading contenders for the title, behind Inter at 2.00 and Napoli at 5.50, while Juventus were also priced at 6.00.
The situation can naturally change quickly. The odds do not represent a certain prediction of the final outcome, but reflect the market’s assessment at a particular moment.
For Milan, the figure takes on added significance given the new project under Amorim. The Portuguese coach arrived in the summer with the objective of building a team capable of competing at the top of the table, but the opening rounds have shown a squad that is still evolving.
Milan; 11 points and no defeats
The most concrete indicator remains the league table.
After five matchdays, Milan have recorded three wins and two draws. The Rossoneri have beaten Torino, Venezia and Lecce, while drawing against Juventus and Lazio.
The victory over Lecce was also their most convincing performance of the recent period. Milan scored three goals without conceding, with Christian Pulisic ending his long wait for a goal and Diego Moreira continuing his impressive development.
The Belgian has already scored three league goals despite not yet becoming a regular starter. His ability to operate in several attacking positions gives Amorim another weapon he can use to change the course of a match without necessarily making a substitution.
Pulisic is changing AC Milan's attacking dynamic
Christian Pulisic's return to the scoresheet was one of the most significant aspects of the victory over Lecce.
The American found the net after just 14 minutes, returning to the spotlight following a lengthy period affected by fitness problems. His contribution, however, went beyond the goal, as Pulisic was also involved in the build-up to Rabiot’s second goal.
His presence gives Amorim an especially versatile option. Pulisic can start from a wide position, move inside, attack the box and operate behind the striker.
That attacking freedom could become one of the defining features of the new Milan.
Moreira continues to surprise
If Pulisic represents a welcome return to form, Moreira is one of the most intriguing surprises of the opening weeks of the season.
The Belgian has scored three goals in his recent league appearances despite still having limited minutes. He scored twice after coming off the bench against Lazio, before completing the 3-0 win over Lecce with an impressive individual run.
His performances could make Amorim’s selection decisions increasingly difficult in the coming weeks.
AC Milan invested heavily in the player and his early performances are already raising expectations surrounding his role in the project. His ability to operate in different areas of the pitch also allows the coach to alter the attacking structure without necessarily making a substitution.
Rabiot and Modric provide balance
Another important element is the partnership between Adrien Rabiot and Luka Modrić.
The Frenchman brings physicality, late runs and a presence in the opposition box, while the Croatian midfielder provides experience and an ability to control the tempo of a match.
Against Lecce, Rabiot scored Milan’s second goal following a well-worked attacking move. Modrić, meanwhile, continues to provide a key reference point in the build-up, even at the age of 41.
Milan therefore have players with very different characteristics, and Amorim’s challenge will be finding a way to make them work together within the same structure.
The Scudetto race has only just begun
The table after five matchdays cannot yet reveal what the final shape of the Serie A title race will look like.
The season is long and the fixture list will soon bring further head-to-head clashes. Inter, Roma, Lazio, Juventus, Napoli and Milan all have ambitious objectives, but the gaps can change quickly.
For Milan, however, 11 points provide a solid foundation. The team remain unbeaten and have already negotiated some difficult fixtures, while the victory over Lecce helped restore confidence following the European defeat to Benfica.
The next period will be particularly important in determining whether Milan can turn a promising start into a genuine challenge near the top of the table.
The market offers several ways to follow Milan’s season, from individual match odds to ante-post markets on the Scudetto.
For the Rossoneri, the 6.00 price recorded in August already showed Milan’s presence among the teams being considered in the title race. Their performances across the opening five matchdays have since added further elements to the assessment of the team.
The price can naturally change depending on results, the league table and the course of the season. For that reason, odds should always be considered values that can be updated and that relate to the specific moment in which they are published.
Milan now need to build on their start
The victory over Lecce provided Milan with an important response, but not a definitive one.
Amorim still needs time to complete the process of building his team. The tactical system needs to become more fluid, the new signings need to fully settle in and the attacking players need to find greater consistency.
The signs, however, are already there.
Christian Pulisic is back to scoring goals, Diego Moreira continues to make an impact, Rabiot has found the net and Modrić provides experience in midfield. Most importantly, Milan have 11 points and remain unbeaten after five league games.
The Scudetto race has only just begun. And Milan, at least according to the odds recorded at the start of the season, were already considered one of the teams worth keeping an eye on.
