There are plenty of matches available for Betfair customers to watch live on their computers courtesy of Betfair Live Video in midweek and perhaps the pick of the bunch is tonight's Serie A clash between two teams eager to establish themselves as surprise title contenders, Napoli and Palermo.

Napoli have been as good as anyone in Italy at times this season, with Edinson Cavani scoring freely since signing from Palermo and Ezequiel Lavezzi - as those who saw his first-half showing at Anfield in the Europa League will be aware - in sparking form, so impressive in fact that Partenopei legend Diego Maradona has even called for him to receive his previously retired number ten jersey.

Both consistency and making pressure count have occasionally been an issue though, which is why victory tonight will only take them to within six points of leaders AC Milan, while a travelling triumph for in-form Palermo will lift them above Napoli into the fourth and final Champions League place.

Walter Mazzarri's side are [2.08] to make home advantage count (Palermo are [4.4]) but their recent record at the San Paolo isn't the most daunting for visitors. Instead, the best bet given that these are two of Serie A's most entertaining clubs looks to be over 2.5 goals at [1.92]. Over 3.5 is [3.35].

Wednesday's helping of calcio pits cash-strapped Bologna against a Chievo team that are once again overachieving. Bologna tactician Alberto Malesani has got a great response out of his players since their point deduction and with veteran striker Marco Di Vaio having a great campaign, the hosts have a good chance of putting distance between themselves and the relegation zone at [2.94].

Other games that can be watched this week include this evening's Portuguese Liga Sagres tie, where FC Porto, who already appear to have one hand on the title at this ridiculously early stage - welcome Vitoria Setubal, scorers of two away goals all season. The home clean sheet therefore appeals at [1.66].

Over in South America at midnight on Thursday morning is the second leg of the Copa Sudamericana (South American Europa League) Final. Relegated Brazilian side Goias beat Independiente 2-0 in the first leg yet with the Argentines strong at home on the continent, back them at [1.82] to win on the night.
