Serie A returns with an exciting round of action and Chloe Beresford has three selections including Napoli to beat Inter in top of table clash…
Thanks to a four-game winning streak, Napoli are now just one point behind the champions, and it has been their league best defence that has been the crucial factor.
Lazio finally shine
Lazio v Bologna
Saturday February 12, 14:00
Having kept a clean sheet in each of their last four matches, it seems Maurizio Sarri has finally got Lazio headed in the right direction. Indeed, there have been over 2.5 goals scored in 10 of the Biancoclesti’s last 11 games in Serie A, while there have also been over 2.5 scored in six of Bologna’s last seven away outings.
Lazio are undefeated in 23 of their last 24 home games, and with all that in mind, the tip here is to back Lazio to win and over 2.5 goals which is available at 2.47/5.
Napoli to nick it
Napoli v Inter

This is a huge game for both sides, with Inter arriving in surprisingly poor form. Over their last three matches, Simone Inzaghi’s men have managed just a single win – which came against a struggling Venezia – with Atalanta holding the Nerazzurri to a draw before city rival’s Milan beat them just last weekend.
Thanks to a four-game winning streak, Napoli are now just one point behind the champions, and it has been their league best defence that has been the crucial factor. The Partenopei have held opponents to just 16 goals in their 24 games so far this term, while at the other end they have scored at least twice in each of their last three Serie A fixtures.
With that in mind, the tip here is simply to back Napoli to win, a market that is currently available at odds of 2.77/4.
Mourinho to mix it up
Sassuolo v AS Roma

Live on BT Sport 1
There have been over 2.5 goals scored in 16 of Sassuolo’s last 18 games in Serie A, while Roma have seen over 2.5 goals scored in each of their last three away games, meaning this could be another high-scoring contest.
It should be noted that both teams have struggled in recent weeks, with Sassuolo winning just two of their last 10 league games and Roma drawing with Genoa last weekend and then being eliminated from the Coppa Italia by Inter on Tuesday.
Yet they will likely still overwhelm the Neroverdi, and the tip here is to back Roma to win and over 2.5 goals, a market available at 2.89/5.
