Bookmakers Give AS Roma Among the Highest Odds of Winning Serie A

The 2026/2027 season is still young, but AS Roma fans have plenty to hope for. The club has given supporters plenty of reasons early this season to be optimistic about finishing at the top of the table instead of looking over their shoulders. 

They are currently unbeaten in their last 10 league games this season, although they’re currently third in the Serie A table. Only Lazio and Inter are ahead of them this season. 

This AS Roma run of results hasn’t gone unnoticed by the bookies, and they’ve reassessed how they view this season’s Scudetto race. The bookies now favor Roma as one of the leading title challengers, a big shift from the usual talk about them securing a Champions League place in recent seasons. 

However, if you’ve been betting on football for a long time, you’ll know that good outright odds don’t automatically mean the club has a better chance of winning the league; it just means the bookies see them as having a good chance.

What the Serie A Title Odds Actually Say

An early November 2026 Serie A title-odds comparison highlights that Inter are at 1.80 odds, with Roma second in the market at 5.50 odds. Juventus are close behind Roma at 8.00 odds, while AC Milan are at 9.00 odds and Como at 13.00 odds. 

Note that these are only a snapshot of available odds and are not permanent, as odds are volatile. Bookmakers can adjust each team’s odds after one result, an injury, or a change in demand.

For a simplified probability calculation, Roma’s 5.50 odds are roughly an 18% chance, while Inter is currently at 56% at 1.80 odds. These figures did not include the bookmaker’s margin, so they should not be treated as objective forecasts. However, they explain the market’s message. Roma have moved into serious contention and title conversation, even though Inter remain the favourites.

Interest in Italian football extends far beyond the peninsula. For example, an Asian sports platform, GemBet, includes Serie A among the European competitions covered in its sports sections. This shows the league’s international audience and appeal. 

Why Roma Have Become Credible Contenders

The Serie A league table provides a stronger insight than any headline about betting odds.  According to AS Roma’s official standings, they have seven wins, three draws, and haven’t lost any of their first 10 matches in the league. More impressively, AS Roma have scored 28 goals and conceded just ten, and this gives them a goal difference of plus 18.

The current AS record becomes more impressive when you check the two teams above them on the Serie A table. Gian Piero Gasperini’s side have scored more goals than the two teams above them on the table, despite sitting four points behind Lazio and one behind Inter. 

Three draws have kept Roma from reaching the top of the table. Three draws in ten matches have kept Roma from matching the points totals of the leaders. In a close championship race, turning one difficult stalemate into a narrow win can matter as much as a comfortable victory against a struggling opponent.

Gasperini’s challenge is to preserve the attacking output without opening up the defence. Ten goals conceded in ten matches is a respectable foundation, but the margin for error becomes smaller when title rivals are taking points at their current pace.

Why Bookmakers May Still Favour Inter

Even though AS Roma is currently unbeaten in the Italian top-flight league, bookmakers favouring Inter Milan ahead of them isn’t an insult to AS Roma’s form. Outright markets set by bookies consider many factors aside from current standings after a few matches. They consider squad depth, perceived ability to deliver consistent results over the season, and recent title-winning form, among others. 

The current league table shows why the outright market is unsettled at this point in the season. There is a narrow spread between the 3 clubs occupying the top three positions of the Serie A table. However, bookmakers are not obligated to assign outright odds based solely on table position. This means that while AS Roma might be unbeaten or remain unbeaten for the rest of the season, Inter Milan might still be the favorites because they have a stronger, deeper squad and a stronger recent league-winning record. 

Still, bookmakers’ continued favor for Inter Milan can be attributed to the difference between a team that can win a title and a team that is expected to win a title. Roma is a team that can win a title, but they have to battle it out to the end to be expected to win the title.

A Genuine Race, With Plenty Left to Prove

For AS Roma fans, the most encouraging aspect behind this speculation is that they’re currently unbeaten in the league. The club is in incredible form, with seven wins, three draws, and a whopping 28 goals scored in just 10 games. Also, with just four points separating the top 3 teams, fans have every reason to be hopeful of lifting the Serie A title.

The Serie A league is expected to get harder going forward. AS Roma will need to manage an increasingly crowded calendar of tough matches, protect their defensive balance, and make better decisions in front of goal. While Roma is steadily improving and bookmakers have noticed, what happens between now and spring will determine whether their revised odds are cautious or generous.
