Mr Fixit’s Goals Tips: Atalanta don’t fear the champs

MY Sunday goals treble features matches from Italy, France and Holland.

Let's go Dutch first with shocktroops Heerenveen at home to Ajax. The home side sit second behind PSV after four wins and two draws in their opening six games.

They handed PSV their only defeat with a 2-0 home win and have netted exactly two in their last four matches. Ajax are down in seventh but average two goals a game and have a good record at Heerenveen, winning five of the last seven and drawing the other two and netting 17 goals.

Both should score here and there's a chance of Heerenveen and both to score.

My most confident tip is Atalanta v Juventus. Atalanta's last-gasp goal at Lyon brought up my Europa League goals treble on Thursday and they can at least score against the champions.

Atalanta are an attacking side who fear no one and we saw their quality when they destroyed Everton in Europe. It was 2-2 against Juve last season and in every match this season after a day one defeat to Roma.

Juventus remain in fine form and have netted 11 on their last four visits to Atalanta and 15 in their last five in Serie A. Eight of their last nine league games have gone over 2.5 goals.

Complete the treble with Nice v Marseille and I see French tipster Julien Laurens has tipped over 4.5 match goals on his Unibet blog. That's an ambitious one but certainly the game has feel of goals.

It's a Meditteranean derby and is usually hard fought. There have been over 2.5 goals in eight of Nice's last 10 and they were my Betting Club tip in midweek when they beat Vitesse 3-0 at home.

Marseille were beaten by Red Bull Salzburg and it was a poor show and they'll be determined to bounce back. Both have netted in the last three meetings in the Nice and hopefully we'll see the same again.
