Serie A Preview: Fiorentina and Roma in for a goalfest?

Tips and odds for this weekend’s Italian fixtures

The Serie A season rolls on to gameweek 11 this weekend, with Juventus looking to maintain their stranglehold at the top.

The Old Lady have an eight-point lead over Inter Milan and Napoli, and yet again they appear untouchable as they seek an eighth successive Scudetto.

We’ve taken a look at the big games this weekend, plus a round-up of the other headline fixtures…

Juventus v Cagliari

There shouldn’t be too much trouble for the league leaders this weekend. Juve are 2/11 to win at home to mid-table Cagliari.

The Sardinia outfit have claimed draws at Juve in 2013 and 2015, but the Turin side have won the last four meetings to nil.

Juve have won three of those by at least two goals, and they’re 8/15 on the -1 handicap, while it’s 8/11 they win to nil yet again.

Cagliari will have to watch out for Cristiano Ronaldo, with the Portugal star firmly settled into to life as a Juventus player after a double versus Empoli last weekend.

Fiorentina v Roma

Games between Fiorentina and Roma are rarely dull. There have been 24 goals in the last seven meetings.

And the two teams have already shown their goalscoring powers by netting 33 goals between them this term.
