Serie A Weekend Selections

Palermo V Inter Milan

League leaders Inter travel to Palermo this weekend looking to cement their place at the top of Italy's Serie A.

Inter went back to the top of the table after a stoppage time goal last weekend against Udinese, with AC Milan vacating top spot after drawing 1-1 with Lecce.

The corresponding fixture last year saw Palermo take a point from their visitors drawing 0-0, I really can not see this going the same way and think that their should be a least a couple of goals.

Inter are joint top goal scorers away from home and have netted 11 times on their travels so far this season, Palermo are not goal shy either having scored 10 times at home this season.

I can see this game being swung in Inters favour and a 2-1 score line to the visitors looks appealing.

This score line rates a best priced 15/2 with most bookmakers and this is my recommendation.

Bet Inter Milan to beat Palermo 2-1 at 15/2.


AC Milan V Chievo Verona

Inter's city rivals AC take on Chievo at home this weekend and will be looking to make their possession count, last weeks draw against Lecce was disappointing to say the least, AC completely bossed the match and looked all over winners until stoppage time when Lecce equalized through Andrea Esposito.

Watching AC last week was a joy, they kept possession of the ball for over 70% of the game and I have no explanation as to why they played so well but ultimately dropped two points.

I think that they will bounce back this weekend and make their visitors pay for last weekends lack of goals (they had 21 shots on goal against Lecce).

Given Milan's variety in attacking options and Ronaldinho's rich vein of form right now (he has scored in his last three matches), my recommendation is to bet Ronaldinho to score the first goal in this match at a best priced 5/1.

I also have a slight feeling for a 4-0 victory, this rates as a 10/1 shot if you shop around.

Bets, Ronaldinho to score the games first goal at 5/1 and AC to win 4-0 at 10/1.
