Champions League Betting - Italian Sides Continue Slide
The holy trinity of Italian football - AC Milan, Juventus and Inter Milan - experienced another poor set of results on matchday two, without a win between them against mostly ordinary opposition. Fiorentina bucked the trend with an impressive 2-0 over Liverpool, suggesting that the times are changing in Serie, underlined by the fact that Sampdoria currently leads Serie A.
Inter and Juventus have two points from two fixtures, while Milan’s shock home defeat by FC Zurich leaves them vulnerable, heading next to the Bernabeu to face a Real Madrid side sweeping all before them, and featuring their former talisman, Kaka, who could help knock them out of the competition at the group stage. New coach, Leonardo, is already under pressure, and may not even last that long if results continue on the downward trend.
