FRIDAY
BOLOGNA V LAZIO – Click here to bet
Bologna are currently 8th on the table with just 1 defeat in their opening 10 games. They have drawn 60% of their matches this season though. Last time out they drew 1-1 away at Sassuolo and their last home game was a 2-1 over Frosinone. They are undefeated in their last 4 home matches winning 3 of them.
Lazio are 7th on the log with 5 wins and 4 losses in their 10 matches. They are on a 3 match winning streak and last time out beat Fiorentina 1-0 at home. Their last away game was a 2-0 victory over Sassuolo.
This game finished goalless last season and I think the value here lies in Bologna racking up another draw.
Suggested bet: The draw at 12/5
SATURDAY
ATALANTA v INTER MILAN – Click here to bet
The hosts are currently 4th on the log and coming off back-to-back victories, 3-0 away at Empoli and 2-0 at home to Genoa. Atalanta are undefeated at home this season with 3 wins and a draw.
Inter are top of the table with 8 wins and 1 draw in their opening 10 matches. They have taken 10 points out of the last 12 they have played for and beat AS Roma 1-0 at home last time out. Their last away game was a 3-0 victory over Torino and they have a 100% record on the road this season with 4 matches played.
Inter Milan are 12/10 favourites for the game with Atalanta 9/4 and the draw at 26/10.
Both fixtures had 5 goals in them last season and I am going to bet that we get 3 goals or more in this game.
Suggested Bet: Over 2.5 goals at 8/10
AC MILAN v UDINESE – Click here to bet
AC Milan are currently 3rd on the log, but they have stumbled in their last 2 matches with a 2-2 draw at Napoli and a 1-0 defeat at home to Juventus. They have won 3 and lost 1 of their 4 home matches this season.
Udinese are sitting just above the relegation zone, 7 points from 10 matches and 7 of those points have come from draws and they have drawn their last 4 games in a row, most recently 1-1 away at Monza. They have yet to win on the road this season with 4 draws and 1 loss. Udinese have only scored 3 goals in 5 away matches this season and they now come up against 1 of the tightest defences in the League.
I am backing AC Milan to keep a clean sheet.
Suggested Bet: Udinese, Total Goals under 0.5 at 11/10

SUNDAY
FIORENTINA v JUVENTUS – Click here to bet
Fiorentina are currently 6th on the log, but they are coming off back-to-back defeats, 1-0 away at Lazio and 2-0 at home to Empoli, a game where they started 9/20 favourites. Fiorentina’s first 3 home games all delivered profits for over 2.5 goal backers although that run was ruined with the 2-0 defeat to Empoli last time out.
Juventus are 2nd on the log with just 1 defeat in their opening 10 matches and they have reeled off 3 successive victories, most recently 1-0 at home to Verona. Their last away game was a 1-0 victory over AC Milan, a game where they started 26/10 underdogs.
Looking at the betting bookies have priced Fiorentina at 19/10 with the draw at 23/10, but I have to say that on current form Juventus look the play here at 31/20.
Suggested Bet: Juventus win at 31/20
Juventus have also kept a clean sheet in their last 5 games and I am going to have a nibble on them making it 6 in a row.
Suggested Bet: Fiorentina Total Goals under 0.5 at 85/40
