Juventus v Napoli 

20^th October-17:00

THIS game is sure to provide spills, thrills and goals as Napoli seek to stop the freight train from Turin picking up another three points.

Juventus secured their 46^th unbeaten league game against Sienna last week and are not likely to give up the 47^th in front of a home crowd.

That said Napoli have been on equally devastating form this season, matching Juventus’ record blow for blow.

The last time these sides met was in the Coppa Italia Final which ended in a surprising 2-0 win for Napoli courtesy of a Cavani penalty and a sublime striker’s finish from midfielder Hamsik. A similar score line in Napoli’s favour is at 25/1 with bet365.  

Juventus were disappointed that night not least because they lost the chance to pick up some silverware but also because it was Del Piero’s last game for the Bianconeri.

Rest assured Juve will be going into this one guns blazing, hoping to teach Napoli a lesson.  

The men to watch in this game will be Pirlo who has been on blistering form and of course that heartbreaker, Cavani- he is 11/2 to score first with Stan James.

VERDICT: I predict this to be a cagey draw at 5/2 with William Hill.

Lazio v AC Milan

20^th October 19.45

AFTER a summer of sales and a miserable start to the season Milan appear to be a mere shadow of their former selves.   

It is truly a sad state of affairs when the AC captain, Ambrosini, has to publically beg for fans to attend the Milan derby- which fierce rivals Inter eventually won 1-0.

Lazio on the other hand have kicked off their campaign to Serie A in impressive form, winning five out of seven.  

German hit-man Klose has been clinical for the Rome side and he will prove a handful for a Milan defence which has had a mediocre record so far this season- bet365 have him at 5/1 to score first.  

In the last decade Lazio have only managed to beat the Milan giants once and that was last season, indicating a possible changing of the tide.

Milan will go into this one with a point to prove to fans but I don’t believe they have the players to do it.

VERDICT: Lazio win 3-1 at 20/1 with Willam Hill.

Genoa v Roma

21^st October 19.45

ROMA have kicked off their season playing an attacking fluid game under new head coach Zeman- a style which has yet to yield many points.

The tact of Zeman has simply been outscoring opponents and as a result Roma have had one of the worst defensive records in Serie A- conceding 11 goals in six games.

That said the Giallorossi have also had no shortage of goals at the other end- making for a tasty game. 

Although Genoa are a steady mid table side they do have form against Roma, not having lost at home against the Rome side since 2007.

The danger man for Genoa is young striker Circo Immobile, he scored 28 in 37 appearances last season for Pescara and fans will be hoping he can immobilise (sorry, couldn’t resist) a leaky Roma back four.

VERDICT: Roma win 3-2 AT 16/1 with bet365.
