Bet Noire

This weekend it's Genoa who face the task of ending Napoli's unbeaten run in Serie A which stretches back 14 matches (8 wins, 6 draws). Their run will surely end soon - Inter and Roma lie in wait in the near future - but I'm happy to take them to win at home against a weaker side prone to inconsistency at close to even money.

Deportivo host the Galacticos mark II and boast a remarkable record against Real Madrid at the Riazor, where they've won the last six encounters and haven't lost since the 1990s. A habit of grinding out results has seen Depor into the top five of La Liga and the absence of Cristiano Ronaldo - banned after a red card last weekend - is obviously a huge loss for Real.

1/2/10: sorry to say that Madrid overturned their Riazor hoodoo, and in some style too. Check out the Guti assist for their second.
