Some great games in Italy this week, though perhaps not for the keen punter, Roma v Genoa is undoubtedly the game to watch, while a desperate for a win Juventus travel to a Catania side that have comfortably beaten a number of top sides, including Roma on their own patch.
Leece v Inter
Betting on Inter Milan, the side that have lifted the Scudetto for the last three years, are currently top of the league, and have one Jose Mourinho in charge, I know what you’re thinking, I’m quite the tipster! (And this is before we discuss the might of those European giants Leece).
Well, given the 4/7 price (Inter are usually offered at around 1/4) and the array of tough fixtures in Serie A this week, this doesn’t represent bad value at all. Despite last weeks win at Siena, Leece are in the midst of a relegation scrap and don’t have the firepower to match the best squad in Italy.

Sampdoria v Siena
It’s been a difficult season for Sampdoria, who despite the odd cameo from the mercurial Antonio Cassano, have struggled more than most to hit the back of the net this season. They are however still a force to be reckoned with at home, and with new recruit Giampaolo Pazzini scoring on his debut last week, I expect Sampdoria to start climbing the table with a win here.

Fiorentina v Lazio
Fiorentina always represent great value, mainly because despite their consistency they seem to be avoided when Joe Britain automatically ticks off Milan, Inter and Juventus on his weekly coupon. Although Lazio won the reverse fixture quite comfortably earlier in the season, they have now lost 3 on the spin and wont envy a trip to the Artemio Franchi.
With Mutu and Gilardino linking beautifully up front, I expect Fiorentina to continue their fine form ahead of a tough run of fixtures that includes mouth-watering trips to Genoa and Ajax.

Denied again by a late Siena equaliser! 2 out of 3 good effort though.
