I've picked out three games from Monday's action across Europe and I am, as ever, looking for goals in the two games on offer from Serie A tonight. There's also a fixture from Spain where a share of the spoils could be on the cards. Here are today's selections and considering the success of the weekend, there is no need for big stakes. I will be doing 5 euros on a combination of the selections provided. Good luck! #BOlieve 18:00 Napoli vs Sassuolo
Preciction - 2.1 Best Bets - BTTS @ 4/5, BTTS and over 2.5 goals @5/4 Key Facts * Sassuollo are prolific on the road having scored in all but one of their last 20 away league fixtures going back 1 year. Juventus were the only team to keep a clean sheet at home to Sass * 10 of Sass's last 12 away league fixtures have seen BTTS including each of the last 6 * 5 of those 6 fixtures also went over 2.5 goals * Sassuolo have conceded 2 or more goals in 5 of their last 6 away league fixtures (15 conceded in total) * Napoli have only kept 3 clean sheets in their last 9 at home * Napoli have scored 2 or more goals in 10 of their last 12 home league fixtures * Napoli scored 3 or more in 7 of those 10 fixtures * Napoli have only failed to score in 1 of their last 43 home league fixtures going back over 2 years * Napoli have seen BTTS in 4 of their last 6 home league fixtures. 3 of those also went over 2.5 goals * Both of last seasons's meetings between these two sides finished with BTTS and over 2.5 goals. Napoli won 3.1 in the corresponding fixture last January. Final Verdict Sassuolo's ability to score on the road leads me to the BTTS conclusion here and with Napoli always scoring at home and given their superior form and ability, a home win, coupled with BTTS and over 2.5 goals looks the likeliest outcome. 20:00 Inter vs Fiorentina Prediction - 1.2 Best Bets - BTTS @ 8/13, BTTS and over 2.5 goals @ 1/1, Fiorentina not to lose @3/4 Key Facts * Inter have seen BTTS in 11 of their last 13 Serie A home fixtures including 7 of the last 8 * 5 of those 7 most recent BTTS fixtures also went over 2.5 goals * Inter have scored at least 1 goal in each of their last 15 home Serie A fixtures * Inter have seen BTTS and over 2.5 goals in 5 of their 7 most recent league fixtures * Fiorentina have seen BTTS and over 2.5 goals in 5 of their last 7 away league fixtures * 29 goals were scored in those 7 games. That's an average of over 4 goals per match * Inter have won only 2 of their last 8 league fixtures * Fiorentina have drawn 5 of their last 9 league fixtures and 11 of their last 25. * 6 of the last 8 meetings between these two sides saw BTTS and over 2.5 goals. * Fiorentina have won each of the last 4 meetings between these two sides Final Verdict Goals look pretty likely here with these two sides usually serving up an entertaining contest and I expect something similar here with the visitors in the better form and possessing a fine record over their hosts in the last two seasons. I was leaning towards a draw in this one with Fiorentina finding plenty of draws of late but most of those were at home and more recently they have been strong on the road, winning their last 3, while scoring 10 goals while they also claimed the spoils in their last two visits to the San Siro against Inter. I fancy the goals bets here though but don't be surprised if the visitors can take the three points back to Florence. 19:45 Las Palmas vs Athletic Club Prediction - 1.1 Best Bets - Draw @21/10 Key Facts * Las Palmas have drawn 5 of their last 9 home league fixtures, including 3 of the last 4 and are unbeaten in their last 10 at home * Bilbao have only won 2 of their last 8 away league fixtures, drawing 3 * 4 points separate these two times who sit 12th and 8th respectively * 4 of the last 5 meetings between these two sides finished in draws including BOTH of last season's contests. The corresponding fixture in May finished 0.0 * Bilbao have drawn all 3 of their last 3 visits to the Canary Islands Final Verdict Both sides have been drawing fixtures lately and I fancy a similar outcome here with Las Palmas hard to beat at home and Bilbao arguably the stronger of the two sides who you would expect to be happy to take a point on the road. Goals are possible but their are a few black marks including some recent 0.0 draws for these two sides, and for that reason I'm only tipping a draw here.
