Spanish La Liga
No bets this weekend

Italian Serie A
Fixture: Atalanta 0-1 Genoa
Venue: Stadio Atleti Azzurri d'Italia
Kick-off: 7.45pm BST (Sunday)
Verdict: I like the look of this Atalanta side this season. They have brought in some new faces and have started reasonably well. I know they lost to Lazio last week, but they were away and were the better side on the day.
Betting Advice: 2pts Atalanta to win at 17/11 (2.55 at expekt.com)

French Ligue 1
Fixture: Marseille 1-1 Bordeaux
Venue: Stade Velodrome (Marseille home)
Kick-off: 4pm (Sunday)
Verdict: It is games like this when the real champions have to stand up and be counted. BordeauxEngland. Marseille may have slipped up last week on their travels, but they will want to put down a marker at home to Bordeaux and that they will have started like a train, and they have kept their want-away striker Chamakh, who appears to have had a change of heart about coming to England.
Betting Advice: 2pts Marseille to win at 6/5 (2.2 generally)

Fixture: Lyon 3-1 Nancy
Venue: Stade Gerland (Lyon home)
Kick-off: 8pm (Saturday)
Verdict: It has been a bit of a shocking season so far for Lyon, but what is more shocking is the fact that the bookies don't think there are going to be goals in this one. Nancy coach Pablo Correa has decided to go all out attack and it has worked as the 4-0 stuffing of Monaco proved. With the top two playing each other Lyon must win and will press from the off. They have the attacking talent to do damage, too. This will be a goal fest.
Betting Advice: 5pts more than 2.5 goals at Evens (2.0 generally)

German Bundesliga
Fixture: Bayern Munich 3-0 Wolfsburg
Venue: Allianz Arena (Bayern home)
Kick-off: 5.30pm (Saturday)
Verdict: Although Bayern have started pretty poorly this season, they still have the players and will improve. Meanwhile, I have been told that there are some internal problems at Wolfsburg infighting and the like which is really affecting their preparations for this game. This is where Bayern's season starts.
Betting Advice: 5pts Bayern to win at 5/6 (1.83 at Coral)
