Serie A opening weekend: Ronaldo eyeing up Chievo win

Key talking-points and tips ahead

European football returns this weekend and all eyes will be on Serie A on Saturday.

Portugal may not have gone far in the World Cup but Cristiano Ronaldo stole the show this summer yet again.

His £99.2m move to Juventus sent shockwaves through the world of football. It suggests, even after winning the Scudetto for seven-consecutive seasons, the Italian champions are getting serious.

Rocket Ronaldo

The cameras will be live at the Stadio Marc’Antonio Bentegodi as Ronaldo makes his debut at Chievo on Saturday evening.

Their head-to-head record appears Juve should sweep aside I Gialloblu even without the five-time Ballon d’Or winner.

The Old Lady won 2-0 last season but with a player who scored 44 goals in all competitions last season then this could end up a real drubbing.

Juventus are 1/4 for the win and Ronaldo is 17/10 to notch the opening goal.

Rivalry renewed

Later that evening, Lazio take on Napoli in Rome in an exciting clash.

The game is elevated by the recent reports that Napoli tried to sign the I Biancocelesti forward Ciro Immobile in the summer.

Lazio are 7/4 to bag the first three points of the season. Napoli won both ties 4-1 last season and are 11/8 to steal the victory.
