ITALY........... SERIE A

NAPOLI -CHIEVO

I like the "over" here. Napoli really owe their fans a performance after a season which promised so much and I bought into the hype as much as anyone, has ended in utter disappointment. theyw ill want to send the supporters away for the summer with positive memories and with this being little more than a friendly, we will surely see goals. The hosts have scored and conceded in each of their last four starts. Chievo secured their future last week, in the "fixed" draw with Bologna and will doubtless welcome the chance to get back to their free scoring and open play, which saw them share four goals recently with both Genoa and Inter and six with Juve, where they really took the game to the Turin giants. I see no downside with this bet.

8 points "over" 3 goals 2.05 asian line.

BOLOGNA - CATANIA

Bologna will secure their Serie A status with a win, regardless of what happens elsewhere and will probably do so. If the news comes through that Torino are being trounced at Roma, the result here will be academic, but either way, they will be very keen to earn a goal, or two for top striker Marco Di Vaio, who is currently tied in the top scorer race with Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who can be expected to notch one or two, with Inter hosting Atalanta. If you shop around Di Vaio will be a strong bet in the first goalscorer market, we discussed last week how these matches are often set up to help players in this position, but of course Bologna's survival must come first. Bet 365 offer 3.25 and payout each way on a unlimited number of places, which means we will get most of our stake back with a goal at anytime and that looks decent value.

6 points each way Di Vaio to score the first goal 3.25 1/3 odds a place Bet 365..... anything above 3.0 is acceptable.

Good Luck.
