The Italian football league is up and running again and the big teams put their markers down nice and early!
There were few slip-ups and a steady weekend for football betting fans with victories for the favourites. Betting websites suggest Juventus, Napoli and Milan will contest the Serie A title this season and all three got off to winning starts.
The Bianconeri blew Cagliari away, 3-0, with a goal each for their three hit men, Mario Mandzukic, Paulo Dybala and Gonzalo Higuain. Second favourites Napoli also scored three in Verona to win 3-1, but Elseid Hysias picked up an unnecessary red card at 3-0 to hand Verona a consolation goal from the penalty spot.
Crotone’s Federico Ceccherini was dismissed after just three minutes to allow a Milan onslaught as the visitors strolled to a 3-0 win; and former Manchester City star Aleksandar Kolarov fired home a free kick, to give Roma a 1-0 win in a testing visit to Atalanta.
Mauro Icardi scored a first half brace as Inter took a two goal half time lead against Fiorentina, before Ivan Peresic added another to make it 3-0.
The surprise result of the day came in Rome where new boys SPAL held Lazio to a 0-0 draw. There was another goalless draw between Sassuolo and Genoa while Bologna and Torino shared the spoils 1-1.
Meanwhile Chievo and Sampdoria had winning starts to the new season.
