SATURDAY
SALERNITANA v LAZIO – Click here to bet
Salernitana are currently bottom of the table and without a victory in their opening 12 games, picking up just 5 points from a possible 36. They drew 2-2 away to Sassuolo last time out and they have only scored 4 goals in 6 home matches.
Lazio are currently 10th on the log and last time out they played out a goalless draw at home to Roma. Prior to that they lost 1-0 on the road to Bologna and Lazio’s last 4 games have all delivered profits for under 2.5 goal backers.
Lazio won this fixture 2-0 last season and they will be looking for their 3rd successive away win over Salernitana and I am backing them to get it.
Suggested Bet: Lazio win at 8/10
SUNDAY
FROSINONE v GENOA – Click here to bet
Frosinone are currently 12th on the log with 2 victories and 3 defeats in their last 5 games. They went down 2-0 away to Inter in their last start, but their last home game was a 2-1 win over Empoli and 13 of their 15 points accumulated this season have come at home.
Genoa are 14th on the log and also have 2 wins and 3 losses in their last 5 games. They beat Verona 1-0 at home last time out, but they have only won once on the road this season and have only picked up 1 point from the last 15 they have played for.
These sides met in Serie B last season with the home team winning on each occasion.
Frosinone’s home form has been excellent this season and I am going to back them to pick up the 3 points here.
Suggested Bet: Frosinone win at 31/20

JUVENTUS v INTER – Click here to bet
This top of the table clash is without doubt the match of the weekend.
Juventus are currently 2nd on the log, 2 points behind Inter with both teams having played 12 matches.
Juventus have reeled off 5 successive victories, most recently beating Cagliari 2-1 at home and they have only dropped 2 points at home in 6 matches this season.
Inter beat Frosinone 2-0 at home last time out and their last away game was a 2-1 win over Atalanta and they have yet to taste defeat on the road this season with a 100% record after 5 matches.
Juventus did the double over Inter last season, winning this fixture 2-0.
Inter are 5/4 favourites for the game with the draw 95/40 and the home team, Juventus on offer at 23/10. This has the makings of a low scoring game and the last 4 head-to-heads in the League have failed to reach the 3 goal mark as have 6 of the last 7 Juventus Serie A matches.
I am tempted by the 15/20 under 2.5 goals, but I think the better value lies here in the teams sharing the spoils.
Suggested Bet: The draw at 95/40
