Tricky trips for Inter and Schalke on Betfair
There's always a danger of being disappointed when you hype up a match as having the potential to be one of the most entertaining encounters of the season but we're willing to take the risk - Udinese versus Inter Milan on Sunday lunchtime has the makings of a classic, and you can watch it on Betfair Live Video!
Udinese president Giampaolo Pozzo boldly declared after their incredible 4-4 draw away to AC Milan earlier this month that "this team plays the best football in Italy" and they haven't made him look silly since, scoring six in four days at the Marassi against the formidable defences of Genoa and Sampdoria.
The in-demand Alexis Sanchez and Antonio Di Natale can't stop scoring and as a result Francesco Guidolin's Zebrette have recovered from a dismal start to challenge for a place in Europe. Leonardo has won his first five games as Inter boss though, so will chasing the three points at the Stadio Friuli.
The Nerazzurri are also absorbing right now, fantastically fluid going forward yet more vulnerable than they have been in years defensively. Since the Brazilian replaced Rafael Benitez, their matches have averaged 4.4 goals, with no clean sheets obtained in that time.
Over 2.5 goals therefore holds huge appeal at [1.88], while Inter are [2.34] to maintain their winning streak and [28.0] to triumph 3-2. All nine other Serie A fixtures are live on Betfair Live Video, with one of the standout prices being the [3.2] on Sampdoria and Juventus drawing on Sunday afternoon.
There's also a full complement of Bundesliga action to enjoy, with clear leaders Borussia Dortmund a rather generous [1.53] to defeat surprise strugglers Stuttgart on Saturday afternoon.
The tie that intrigues us the most in Germany this week however is the clash between overachieving Hannover, who climbed to second with an impressive 3-0 victory at Frankfurt last Sunday, and last year's runners-up Schalke, losers at home to Hamburg last weekend after three successive wins.
Hannover are [3.0] to sustain their unlikely Champions League charge - tempting odds for a game in which second host 11th - but Schalke have halted fellow high-flyers Mainz and Freiburg on their travels so are capable of enhancing their admittedly slim chances of a top-three finish at [2.52].
