Man City v Roma
Roma have played five Serie A games so far this season, and won them all. That 5-1 hammering of CSKA in the opening round of Champions League fixtures was pretty good as well. That's not to say they'll take the three points tonight of course, but 9/2 on them doing so looks a hell of a lot more appealing than City at 8/13. 13/10 for the double chance seems pretty generous too. For any value on the home side you need to be delving in to the handicaps, but even the -1 (6/4) seems a touch optimistic. The best course of action might just be to leave the result alone and stick a few quid on Destro scoring, 11/4 in the anytimes. Gervinho (remember him?) is looking quite good these days too, and he's 3-1.
Prediction: 2-1 (8/1)
Sporting Lisbon v Chelsea
So Diego Costa's playing. And even if he's knackered he should be good for a goal. 3/1 to get the first or 7/2 for 2 or more. Chelsea were a bit disappointing against Chelsea last time out but you can't argue with 5/6 on the win here, and the -1 handicap is probably safe enough at 21/10. Have a think about 2/1 on them winning to nil as well.
Prediction: 0-2 (15/2)
