Top Serie A and Ligue 1 Picks for April 19, 2026

Two high-profile fixtures highlight the weekend slate on April 19, 2026. Serie A sees Juventus host Bologna, while Ligue 1 features Paris Saint-Germain against Lyon. Filmogaz.com presents Top Serie A and Ligue 1 Picks for April 19, 2026 with a focus on form, team news and market value.

Juventus vs Bologna — Turin

Kick-off is scheduled for 19:45. Juventus sit fourth in Serie A, with Bologna in eighth place.

Juventus arrive unbeaten in their last six league matches, compiling four wins and two draws. Their home Serie A record reads W9 D6 L1.

At home against teams outside the top five, Juventus are W7 D5 L0. Eight of their 16 home games have yielded three or more goals. Juventus have found the net in 13 of those 16 home fixtures.

Bologna were beaten 4-0 by Aston Villa in the Europa League on Thursday. That result completed a 7-1 aggregate exit from the competition.

Domestically, Bologna have won their last two league games. They beat Lecce 2-0 at home and won 2-1 away at Cremonese.

The visitors have struggled versus the division’s higher-ranked sides. Against the seven teams above them they are W2 D1 L6. Their away record versus those sides is W0 D1 L3.

Betting angles and statistics

• Both Teams To Score at 19/20 (Coral) fits strong scoring patterns for both clubs. Bologna have scored in 14 of 16 away games.
• Over 2.5 Goals at 3/4 (William Hill) is supported by goal-heavy home and away records for both teams.
• Juventus -1.0 Asian Handicap at 4/5 offers a refund if the win is by a single goal.

PSG vs Lyon — Paris

This Ligue 1 clash also kicks off at 19:45. PSG remain in the title race and cannot afford slip-ups.

Manager Luis Enrique may manage minutes ahead of the Champions League semi-final against Bayern Munich. That tie is scheduled across April 28 and May 6.

Lyon will be weakened by injuries and suspension. Paulo Fonseca confirmed Pavel Sulc and Corentin Tolisso are unavailable through injury. Nicolas Tagliafico is suspended.

Sulc and Tolisso have contributed 11 and eight Ligue 1 goals respectively. Together they have provided seven assists.

Lens are PSG’s nearest challengers for the title. Lens face Toulouse on the Friday before this game, which could affect the title picture.

Suggested markets

• PSG -1.5 Asian Handicap at 31/40 (bet365) is preferred if you expect a two-goal margin.
• PSG/PSG (Half Time/Full Time) at 4/5 can be considered for a dominant performance from the hosts.
• Simple match-win odds show PSG as heavy favourites, roughly 3/10 in available markets.
