Simone Inzaghi is storming towards the Serie A title

Paul Higham is back on Bet Builder duty this week and kicking off in the San Siro with a [4/1] treble on Inter Milan in their game against Genoa...


Inter are just steamrollering towards the Serie A title this season after the thrashed Atalanta 4-0 in midweek to make it 11 wins on the spin in all competitions and a 12-point lead at the top of the table.

Next up is a home tie with mid-table Genoa that should have Simone Inzaghi's side licking their lips of another big win - having won four straight league games when scoring at least four goals.

One note of caution is that Genoa are one of just three teams to take points off Inter this season courtesy of a 1-1 draw in the reverse fixture, and recently they've lost just one in 11 in the league.

But at the San Siro the Nerazzurri have been phenomenal - winning their last eight home league games, seven with a clean sheet, and so although Genoa have been tought to beat you'd expect a home win here.

Leg 1: Inter -1 handicap

Inter have been imperious of late, and their scoring touch just makes it impossible to back anything other than a home win, which they're 1/41.25 for.

And the mood they're in, even though Genoa have been a tough nut to crack I don't think they will be able to deal with the intensity the hosts will bring.

So of all the outrights the 8/111.73 on Inter -1 on the handicap looks the pick of the bunch.

Leg 2: Federico Dimarco 1+ shot on target

Defender Federico Dimarco has been an attacking spark from wind-back the last few games, with a goal, assist and three shots on target in just his last two outings.

He's 5/61.84 for just 1+ shot on target here, which we'll happily take consdiering the run he's on - and with his team hot favourites for another win.

And it's not just a flash in the pan either, as Dimarco actaully ranks third on the Inter squad for total shots on target this season with 16 from 43 efforts on goal - so the volume is there.

Leg 3: Lautaro Martinez 2+ shots on target

We need to get top scorer Lautaro Martinez onside somehow, but instead of the 8/111.73 for him to score for a third game running we'll take him in the shots on target market.

He's 4/51.80 for 2+ shots on target, which is what we'll add to our Bet Builder and one that's landed in two of his last three and 10 times in total this season.

Martinez's volume is tremndous, with 120 attempts on goal for the season and 34 in his last 10 - and in a game Inter are expected to win he'll be trying his luck plenty again.

Back Inter -1 handicap, Martinez 2+ shots on target & Dimarco 1+ shot on target @ 4/15.00
