Italian Serie A football - Chievo vs Internazionale

Jose Mourinho`s Inter travel to Chievo today in Serie A looking to extend their lead at the top of the table even further than the eight points they currently sit ahead of rivals AC Milan. The visitors have stumbled recently, winning only one of their last three league games, and will be looking for a return to the form that has seen them break so far clear this early in the season. Chievo, by contrast, have won three of their last four games and are heading towards the top end of the table.

Inter go into the game as favourites at 5/6 (bet $60 to win $50 profit), leaving Chievo as underdogs at 10/3. The draw is priced at 12/5 but the teams together have only drawn six games in their combined 34 decisions this season.

A 1-0 win for Inter has been made the favourite score for the match at 11/2 and three of Inter`s last five games have finished this way. A 1-1 draw is next, at 6/1, with 2-0 to the visitors at 8/1. A 2-1 win is at the same price with the same score for Chievo at 16/1, and seven of the hosts` seventeen league games this season have finished 2-1 to either team.

With top scorer Samuel Eto`o absent for the African Cup of Nations, Argentine Diego Milito is favourite to open the scoring today at 9/2, ahead of nineteen year-old Italian Mario Balotelli at 13/2 and Wesley Sneijder at 8/1. Chievo`s best hope of scoring the first goal of the game tonight is their captain Sergio Pellissier at 8/1, who has won one Italy cap and scored on his international début.

Inter are available at 2/1 to lead at both half-time and full-time and 7/2 to win after drawing at the interval. The bookmakers offer 9/2 that both halves end in a draw and 15/2 that Chievo are winning at both the half-time and full-time. Chievo/Chievo is priced at 9/1.

The race for the Serie A title is seen by many as all but over with Inter so far clear and they are 2/9 for a fifth consecutive title this year.
