Watching Inter Milan welcome Napoli to the an Siro for a blockbuster Serie A showdown on Sunday night, we have a stacked Italian schedule on the cards this weekend. Alongside fellow title contenders AC Milan stealing centre stage, there are plenty of noteworthy battles from across Italy's elite. So, for those of you looking to stick on a Sunday flutter, we have taken a glance at some of the most attractive Italian betting tips that are available.

Weston McKennie is thrilled to be playing a more advanced role for Juventus, who are preparing to face Sassuolo in Serie A on Tuesday. Juventus are currently on a four-match unbeaten streak in the competition, but failed to make it four wins on the bounce last time out in a 1-1 draw with Lecce. McKennie scored Juve's equaliser in that match, but Jonathan David missed a second-half penalty that ultimately could have sealed all three points.

Lens extended their lead at the top of Ligue 1 to four points with a comprehensive 3-0 victory over Toulouse on Friday evening. Toulouse were reduced to 10 men after just 23 minutes when Emersonn was sent off before Lens cruised to a comfortable win thanks to goals from Wesley Said, Adrien Thomasson and Ismaelo Ganiou. The result moves Pierre Sage's side four points clear of champions PSG, who can cut the gap to just one point with a win over Paris FC on Sunday.

The Italian club have already filled their non-EU player slots for the current season, meaning a January move would be impossible even if all parties were willing. Instead, the Giallorossi are said to be exploring the financial and sporting feasibility of a summer deal that could see the 33-year-old return to Serie A, where he previously impressed during spells with Fiorentina and Roma earlier in his career.

For many reasons, because in my view we just started this journey. Our infrastructure isn't ready, I feel Juventus, Inter and Milan have the structure, strength in depth and wage bills that are above all the other clubs. Every time someone other than that group wins a trophy, it means something truly extraordinary has happened. We mustn't bury our heads in the sand and act like we are on the same level as these clubs. We try to bridge the gap as much as possible with hard work and dedication, but we cannot ignore that gap exists.

We did everything we could to sign him. There were more storied clubs interested, but his will was crucial, and we are proud of it. We had no doubts. Rasmus is decisive in terms of numbers, but also in how he understands the coach's input. This makes a difference. There's an option to buy and an obligation to buy if we qualify for the Champions League. The player considers himself a Napoli player, and the same goes for us. This is extremely important.

I'm very happy and very pleased because I think Cristian deserves this opportunity. Even when we were team-mates, Cristian was a very intelligent player.
