Serie A - Best Bets

Belgian striker Dries Mertens has been enjoying a second fruitful Serie A campaign, and looks worth backing at close to double-your-money prices when Napoli face Chievo. He bagged 28 goals in 35 appearances last season, and has 17 already this campaign (not to mention European goals). He has scored in seven of his 15 home appearances for Napoli in the league this season for ten goals in total, and Chievo are hardly water-tight conceding nearly two goals a game on their travels this season.

With eight succesive away defeats, the guests will be lucky to escape without leaking at least a couple, and that makes Mertens interesting.

1.1pt Dries Mertens to Score Anytime for Napoli at 10/11 (PaddyPower)

Torino entertain Inter Milan on Sunday and they may just have enough quality to frustrate their more illustrious rivals to force a draw.

February and early March was a tough period for Turin, with four consecutive defeats at the hands of Juventus, Verona, Roma and Fiorentina, but aside from that mini-run, they had gone eight without defeat ahead of that, and have won their last two, scoring eight goals.

Inter have lost just once since the turn of the year, but have drawn seven of their last 12 and just aren't scoring enough goals to convert those into wins. Indeed, despite losing just once in that 12 match spell, they have only scored 16 in that time, and five of those came against Sampdoria in a single match.
