ALL roads lead to Rome on a big Saturday night of action at the top of Serie A.
Leaders Juventus face a tough clash at capital side Lazio after second-placed Roma travel to Atalanta.
Ashley Cole and Co don't concede many – just six all season the league – and they're up against an Atalanta team not exactly banging them in.
In fact, Atalanta are on a rotten run of one win in their last nine league games and during that time they've scored just two goals. Overall they have the worst scoring ratio in the whole division, netting just four in their 11 games so far.
Roma's Serie A away record this season reads won two, drawn one and lost two – against big guns Juve and Napoli. They can't afford to lose more ground on Juve and are 2-1 to win to nil tonight with Skybet.
Of course that's always a risky bet because an Atalanta goal would scupper it, so a safer option is Roma to win at 17-20 with Bet365 and put pressure on Juve who play in the later game.
Juve are three points clear at the top and gunning for their fourth straight title. But Lazio are no mugs this season and have scored in all but two of their 11 league matches.
Juve have the tightest defence in the league but four of their last six meetings with Lazio have seen both teams score and the 13-16 with 888sport for that to happen again is worth a look.
In Spain, rampant Real Madrid are aiming for their 14th straight win when they travel to Eibar. The top-flight newcomers' decent start has faltered in recent weeks with just one win in their last seven matches.
Real's only injury absentee is Luka Modric but they have an embarrassment of talent to call upon and are 4-7 with Skybet to win on the -1 handicap.
In the Bundesliga, Borussia Monchengladbach lost at Dortmund last time out thanks to Christoph Kramer ‘s stonking OG but they should get back on track at home to an Eintracht Frankfurt side who have lost five in a row and have the division's second-worst defensive record.
Wolfsburg are on an eight-match winning streak in all competitions and visit stuttering Schalke, who have scored in every home league fixture this season. Both teams to net pays 8-13 at BetVictor.
In France, Lyon are also in form with five straight league victories but they have two of their three top scorers missing today – Yoann Gourcuff and Nabil Fekir.
Also out is Jordan Ferri, who has the club's most assists, but in-form striker Alex Lacazette will play in the game away at Bastia and I'm backing both teams to score at 10-11. This bet has landed in all of the clubs' last four meetings.
Win treble (2.8-1, Coral)
Roma
Real Madrid -1
Monchengladbach
Both teams to score treble (4.2-1, betVictor)
Lazio v Juventus
Bastia v Lyon
Schalke v Wolfsburg
Deportivio 23/10
I cant work out why Hannover (4th place) are 13/5 at home to Leverkusen (6th) when Hannovers home record is so good. I think the guys at welovebetting have found a gem with this one.
Willie, yeah Hannover are a nice price today. I also like the look of Cologne at home to Hertha who’s recent form is honking
Prob because how tight there home games are and how right leverkusens away games are. Looks a 0-0 draw to me
Get on Chelsea man city Everton enhanced treble skybet 4/1. Vfm that’s what we like!
Alan
I clocked that but theyre as big as 3/1 and that is far too big given there home record.
Its like Hearts being 3/1 at home to Rangers today given the closeness in quality and league positions! Hannover defo worth a nibble at that price.
Cool tips, Mehn, you are gud
Sammy, don’t post those links here please.
Absolutely getting battered those moenchengladback
Safe to see why they were as big as 3/1!
