The 2nd match-day of the Italian Serie A kicks off this Saturday with three games. The first game is between Inter and Udinese. A very difficult test for Benitez’s team. They also have to keep their strength for next week’s Champions League .

Maicon, Santon and Thiago Motta are still out. Benitez will use a 4-2-3-1 formation with Milito in attack, Snejider, Eto’o and Pandev behind him in support.
Udinese have some problems in defense: Basta, Ferronetti and Isla are all out. The injury list is even longer: Coda and Denis are also missing.
Inter are the favourites here but they will meet a squad who like to close down in their defensive third. Under 2.5 goals at 1.83 should be ok.

In Cesena v Milan away win is expected: Milan will rely on their new arrivals Ibrahimovic and Robinho for goals, as well as Pato and Ronaldinho.
Some problems for Milan’s defence as Nesta is out and will be replaced by Sokratis Papastathopoulos.
Cesena will play without any pressure. Schelotto, Bogdani and Giaccherini will be in attack. They have also been reinforced by important midfielder Jimenez.
Milan can win this one, but they need to be concentrated at all times. Bet on the away win at 1.50.

Cagliari v Roma is a very balanced game. The home side have not won for 15 rounds in Serie A, including the results of the last year.
Cagliari played with strong determination against Palermo and now they could surprise Roma who seem to have some difficulties in their defensive lines.
Roma will play with 4-4-2: in attacking they will be with Borriello and Totti. In defence, Ranieri’s team will be with Mezes and Juan but Burdisso is expected to start from the bench. The home side would like to return to victories, the visitors would like to recover the lost points from the Cesena game last round. Bet on the over 2.5 goals at 1.86.

On Sunday the Serie A fixtures come with a very interesting suggestion! The match that should be picked for betting is the one between Juventus v Sampdoria. Del Neri, current Juventus manager, will meet his former club.
Juventus are in a must win situation after the bad defeat against Bari. Manager Del Neri has had two week to make a fine-tuning of his team’s scheme. The home side will play 4-4-2 with Quagliarella and Del Piero in attack. Krasic and Pepe will play at the wings. Iaquinta will start from the bench.
Sampdoria have striker Pazzini doubtful due to a back injury. Cassano is in good form as he showed at the game with the national team.
Sampdoria have been unbeaten for 9 rounds, but they are at risk in Torino. Home win at 1.85.
