This weekend Serie A offers us the chance of making a tidy profit as Inter Milan continue to walk the Italian top-flight, Napoli keep the home fires burning and Sampdoria resume their abysmal away record in the Genoese derby.

Once known as bottlers, they have now cultivated a reputation for grinding out wins with unfailing regularity. Still undefeated in the league, the Nerazzurri have opened up an eight-point lead, courtesy of goals from Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Julio Cruz, and will have no problem adding to their 56 points at home to Livorno on Saturday night. Livorno did hold AC Milan to a 1-1 draw in midweek but Inter are a different animal to their city neighbours and they will not be distracted by Tuesday's Champions League trip to Liverpool. Napoli can continue their fine form against Empoli on Sunday. The Partenopei are in midtable having made a promising return to Serie A and this is largely due to their form at the Stadio San Paolo where they have lost just twice. Eddy Reja's side came undone at Sampdoria last week but in front of fanatical home support they are a different side, as evidenced by their defeat of high-flying Udinese two weeks ago. The Azzurri are well-priced at 8/11 and worth adding to our treble. The third leg of our multiple finds Genoa ready to earn local bragging rights in the Derby della Lanterna against local rivals Sampdoria. Like Napoli, Samp are strong at home but have been miserable on their travels, losing six and drawing just one of their last seven away matches. They will have added motivation against their auld enemy and a strike force of Antonio Cassano and Claudio Bellucci would give anyone food for thought. However, Genoa have been one of the surprise sides of the season, establishing themselves in ninth place, two spots behind Sunday's opponents. Marco Borriello has netted 12 times so far already this term, scoring five goals in the last six games, and, along with former Italy striker Marco Di Vaio can make it four home wins on the spin on Sunday night. Verdict: 2pts home treble on Inter, Napoli and Genoa @ 9/2 (Paddy Power) Click here for a free $600 welcome bonus when you join Paddy Power Poker
