Italy, Serie A - 09.11.2008

Lazio vs. Siena

Lazio had a difficult game last weekend against Catania, the good play by Lazio`s forwards was stopped by classical catanagio by the Catania players. After the good start of the season Lazio had a series of bad results against Genoa and Napoli, but now they are back on track. Mauro Zarate has been exceptional this season with Pandev providing him with a full support in the attack. Lazio`s attack is going to improve from match to match as we see Tomasso Rocchi fit again.

Siena made a big surprise win over Fiorentina, maybe this could be explained by keeping their strength for the match against Bayern. Siena are now on the solid 12th position, with no major injuries in the team. We most probably see the attacking duo Maccarone-Frick trying to score against the not so solid Lazio defence.

Prediction: Lazio @ 1.56


Inter Milan vs. Udinese

This is definitely this week derby, Udinese who`s been sensational this season, and Mourinho`s Inter.
If we follow the history between these two teams, the last 5 matches ended with a draw.
A big blow for Inter will be the loss of Christian Chivu who`s been injured. Also, Muntari and Adriano who`s doubtful, but Udinese has three key players reported injured: Di Natale, Zapata, and Tissone.

Therefore, I will predict a comfortable home win for Inter.

Prediction: Inter@ 1.51
