After Week 1 of the Italian season, the big betting movers are Inter who are now as short as 5/2 from 10/3 on the Channel 4 Exchange to win the Scudetto.
Inter, justified their 1/5 red-hot favourite tag with a 3-0 hammering over relegation favourites Treviso, with all three goals from their Brazilian superstar Adriano.
His hat-trick ensured Inter maximum points, with punters quick to snap up the 12/1 about the Inter centre-forward carrying his rich vein of form into the Champions League and becoming top-goalscorer in that competition.
Odds-on aways can never be trusted in any League but in particular Italy. Joint title favourites Milan – Inter’s city rivals – were the first of what will be many fancied teams in failing to bring maximum points back on their travels, when they slipped up at lowly Ascoli.
The Champions League runners-up were 2/5 to win in Ascoli, but had to settle for a 1-1 draw, an early lesson for anybody trusting those odds-on bankers in the toughest League on the planet.
Juventus gained three points despite missing first choice goalkeeper Gigi Buffon. The Old Lady had to work hard for their 1-0 victory over Chievo, and still remain 7/5 joint-favourites to lift successive Scudetti.
Fiorentina won 2-1 at home to Sampdoria in the match of the weekend and the resurgent Florence outfit are 150/1 from 200/1 to be crowned champions. Udinese, continued their fine Champions League form with a 1-0 victory over Empoli and at 100/1 could interest each-way backers.
There is no action in Italy this week due to international commitments, but back and lay prices for Serie A and Serie B are available on the Channel 4 Betting Exchange.
