Serie A Preview: Lazio out to keep tabs on top three

Genoa v Sampdoria

It’s the Derby della Lanterna at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris on Sunday night, as Genoa and Sampdoria meet for the 97th time.

It might not be the biggest derby in Italian football, but this should be a competitive affair with just one point between the sides.

Neither side are in great form, but Samp have dominated this fixture in recent times, winning six of the last 10 encounters.

That hasn’t stopped Genoa from being made 31/20 favourites however. Sampdoria are 7/4 with a draw 9/4.

Who might be the derby hero? Genoa’s rumoured Chelsea target Krzysztof PIatek is 11/4 favourite to score first, with Fabio Quagliarella 11/2 for Samp.

Best of the rest

Each of the top three have what should be relatively straightforward home matches this weekend.

Juventus take on a SPAL side who have wilted a touch since their bright start to the season. The Old Lady are 2/13 to collect three points. Cristiano Ronaldo is 23/10 to score first and 9/5 to grab two or more.

Second place Napoli will look to maintain pace when they host bottom side Chievo. Carlo Ancelotti’s men are comfortable 1/10 favourites.  Dries Mertens is 14/5 to score first.

And there should be a home win for Inter too, who are 1/4 to beat Frosinone at the San Siro. Mauro Icardi is 9/4 to bag two or more.
