We've already told you about perhaps the most significant moment available for Betfair customers to watch on Betfair Live Video this week - Javier Zanetti's record-breaking 520th Serie A appearance for Inter Milan - however there is much more besides to look forward to over the next few days.

There are four Coppa Italia round-of-16 matches to look forward to spread between Tuesday and Thursday, the standout of the lot undeniably being Wednesday's Derby della Capitale between Roma and Lazio, which could feature a debut for new Lazio striker Giuseppe Sculli, signed from Genoa.

Roma have won the last three collisions and have reached the final of the competition in five of the last six years, while Lazio - winners in 2008-09 - haven't won a meeting in which Roma were officially hosts since 1997, so Claudio Ranieri's Giallorossi have to be fancied at [2.1].

Elsewhere, Napoli are [1.99] to keep a sixth successive clean sheet at the San Paolo against Bologna on Tuesday, strong home side Sampdoria's Wednesday clash with in-form Udinese is [3.3] to head for extra time and frequent Coppa Italia flops AC Milan are [11.0] to be stunned by bottom club Bari.

There's also domestic cup action from Portugal, France and Greece and the AFC Asian Cup live on Betfair Live Video but arguably the biggest game elsewhere on the continent comes as the Eredivisie returns from a month-long winter break, with Dutch giants Ajax and Feyenoord contesting the fixture known as De Klassieker.

It's Ajax's first outing since Frank de Boer was named Martin Jol's permanent successor and though Feyenoord's recent improvement - going three matches unbeaten - suggests a close encounter, don't be so sure. Feyenoord have lost on six straight visits to the Amsterdam ArenA and are awful away, which is why Ajax are [1.8] to lead at both half-time and full-time.
