2nd placed Napoli play struggling Genoa today who are hovering just above the relegation zone and we are going with a Napoli home win. Napoli are sitting in 2nd place which is an automatic champions league spot and with 3rd placed Milan breathing down their necks they will want nothing but 3 points. After a rough patch of form Napoli have managed to win their last 2 games scoring 8 goals in the process. Our opponents Genoa have been on a poor run of form having lost their last 3 games. Away from home they have been winless in 8 games and this season they have only managed 2 away wins in the league. Napoli have the leagues top scorer E,Cavani in their team who has scored 22 times and in the reverse fixture of this game Napoli managed to win the game 4-2.

Rosenborg have started the new season strong with 2 wins in the first 2 games, scoring 5 goals and conceding none. A record which puts them top of the table. Opponents Sogndal have 1 point after drawning 1 and losing their other game. Rosenborg havent won the title for 2 seasons and with reining champions Molde losing their first 3 games Rosenborg will want to get a big advantage over them at this early stage of the season. Rosenborg managed to win this fixture 3-0 last season and in 13 head to heads Rosenborg have never lost. In fact the last time Sogndal won this fixture was way back in 1998. In the 2 league games Rosenborg have played 4 different players have been amongst the goals, which is a good sign as it means they arent reliant on just on or two players to get the goals.

Benfica are top of the league and today they travel to play 13th place Olhanense. In the league Benfica have manged to open up a 4 gap between themselves and FC Porto and a win today is needed if they wish to retain that cushion. Benfica are one of the form teams in europe right now having only lost once in 34 competitive matches with that only defeat being in the cup where they fielded a weaker side and only lost on penalties. Benfica have managed to win 7 games on the spin conceding only 4 goals in the process. Olhanense have been in poor form and have only won once in their last 12 matches. Its worth noting that Benfica have managed to win the last 2 head to heads and in 11 head to heads Benfica have never lost.
