Italy
Will there be a tastier line-up of matches anywhere in Europe this season than what Serie A is offering this weekend? There are four absolute humdingers spread out nicely, with Inter Milan [2.12] to win away at European hopefuls Genoa, who they humiliated 5-0 last year, on Friday, AC Milan [1.94] to go top on Saturday by beating Juventus, Lazio [3.3] to have to settle for a point on Sunday afternoon when they visit Palermo, who are rarely defeated in Sicily, and Fiorentina boss Sinisa Mihajlovic [3.25] to be held in the evening on his return to former club Catania, with Adrian Mutu potentially making his comeback for the Viola.

Spain
The standout game pits Barcelona against Sevilla and the Rojiblancos boast two recent victories over the champions - one at the Nou Camp in last year's Copa del Rey and another in the home leg of the Supercopa de Espana in August, however the hosts are [1.3] for a reason - they've battered Sevilla 4-0 ([14.0]) three times in the last two years! The best bet for Real Madrid's trip to Hercules has to be [1.92] on them scoring in both halves having netted 16 times in their last three Liga outings. Odds of [3.02] are available on the Betfair Coupon for both hosts to triumph in Sunday's TV ties.

Best of the rest
The Eredivisie's top two collide on Saturday and given that their last six meetings have ended level and both remain unbeaten, the draw has to be fancied at [3.8]. Title favourites face early leaders in Ligue 1 and with Marseille chasing a fifth straight win, they should overcome Rennes at [1.81]. In both France and Germany (for the second successive week in the Bundesliga's case) the top four sides are all playing one another, with the game between fourth-placed Hoffenheim and third-placed Hannover on ESPN. Back Hoffenheim at [1.69].
PSV v FC Twente, Betfair Live Video, Saturday, 7.45pm
Marseille v Rennes, Betfair Live Video, Saturday, 8pm
Hoffenheim v Hannover, ESPN, Sunday, 4.30pm
