Friday 15th January - Sunday 17th January.Â
English Premier League and Serie A.
There are plenty of exciting matchups around the footballing world this weekend, and we've decided to preview the three biggest!
Lazio vs Roma
Friday 15th January, 19:45, Premier Sports 1.
To kick off the weekend, Lazio play Roma in the first Rome derby of the season. Roma have made a fine start to their campaign, and they could end up challenging for the scudetto. Lazio have struggled to match last season's form and already find themselves 12 points behind leaders AC Milan. However, Ciro Immobile has continued his excellent personal performances and has already notched 11 goals. Can Lazio get back into form with a win over their local rivals? The H2H doesn't tell us much as both previous games between the pair ended in 1-1 draws.
Betting tip: Lazio to win at 9/5.
Liverpool vs Manchester United
Sunday 17th January, 16.30, Sky Sports Main Event and Sky Sports Premier League.
Liverpool host bitter rivals Manchester United at Anfield with this one being a top of the table clash — something that hasn't happened in years. A victory for the Red Devils could reinforce their title credentials as at the moment — very few people see them maintaining the consistency to go all the way and win the league. They have a big task on their hands as their opponents have not lost at Anfield in almost four years when Crystal Palace managed a 1-2 victory there in 2017. Liverpool won 2-0 here last season with Virgil van Dijk and Mo Salah goals — nearly one year to the day of this weekend's match. Man Utd last beat Liverpool in 2018 with two Marcus Rashford goals and their previous Anfield win was in 2016 — Jurgen Klopp's first game against United.
Betting tip: Liverpool to win by one exact goal at odds of 13/5.
Inter Milan vs Juventus
Sunday 17th January, 19:45, Premier Sports 1.
After eight consecutive victories, Inter have suffered a bit of a wobble in their last two games with a 2-1 loss against Sampdoria and a 2-2 draw with Roma. The Sampdoria loss would have particularly stung as they are a team that Inter are expected to beat. Inter lost out on last season's title due to too many draws. If they can convert those draws to wins, then they have every chance of finally ending the almost surreal dominance of their upcoming opponents. Juventus themselves have made a slow start mainly due to drawing six of their games already. They can find comfort with their recent record against Inter Milan as the Old Lady won both fixtures last season. Paulo Dybala scored in both of those games, and he will be looking to get on the scoresheet once more on Sunday.
Betting tip: Over 3 total goals at 21/20.
