Milan ready to unveil Ibrahimovic against Cesena

Soccer Betting Lines

09/10/2010 - Cesena, Italy (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - AC Milan made a big statement in its 4-0 opening-weekend win over Lecce, while defending champions Inter Milan and runners-up, Roma, both were held to 0-0 draws.

Now, Milan is set to add to its big win with another at Cesena on Saturday in a game that will allow Milan boss Massimiliano Allegri to hand a start to new signing Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

The Swedish striker scored 66 goals in three seasons at Inter Milan, and his arrival, along with former Manchester City forward Robinho, gives Milan one of the most talented attacks in Europe.

Ibrahimovic is expected to start alongside Alexandre Pato and Ronaldinho, with Robinho starting the game on the bench.

Cesena was able to hold Roma to a 0-0 draw in its Serie A opener, but things will get even more difficult on Saturday as the club faces a Milan side that is poised to make a run at its first Serie A title since 2004.

Inter Milan will also be in action on Saturday when the Nerazzurri host Udinese, and Inter will hope to improve upon its dull 0-0 draw with Bologna to open the season.

Inter boss Rafael Benitez will be under plenty of scrutiny after replacing Jose Mourinho, and with a loss to Atletico Madrid in the final of the UEFA Super Cup and the draw with Bologna, Benitez is in need of a good result.

Roma travels to Cagliari with both teams coming off of scoreless draws to open the season, while Parma visits Catania after starting its campaign with a 2-0 win against Brescia.

Juventus stumbled to a 1-0 defeat against Bari in its opener, and Juve's schedule gets no easier as the club welcomes Sampdoria to Turin, Palermo faces Brescia, Genoa hosts Chievo, Bologna travels to Lazio, Fiorentina invades Lecce and Napoli meets Bari.

Will Ohio State continue to run the table in College Football betting odds?
MySportsbook.com favors Buckeyes, Fighting Irish and Golden Bears in this weekend's big games.

NEW YORK, NY, Sept. 21 - My Sportsbook NCAA football fans: things are beginning to get really interesting on college football's national stage. Following last weekend's "Separation Saturday", which included five teams ranked in the top 15 dropping games, the BCS Championship picture is beginning to take shape - with Ohio State leading the charge. And, according to odds makers at MySportsbook.com, the number-one-ranked Buckeyes will continue their winning ways this weekend.

Revenge will be the name of the game in Columbus this Saturday, as Ohio State looks to even the score following last season's loss to Joe Paterno's Nittany Lions. Although Penn State are listed as 16.5 point underdogs, they are 11-10 all-time versus the Buckeyes. Paterno and the Lions, however, will have to shut down Heisman Trophy favorite Troy Smith who has thrown for 769 yards and seven touchdowns this season.

Speaking of revenge, Notre Dame will be out for some against Michigan State, following last year's 44 - 41 overtime loss to the Spartans in South Bend. The thirteenth-ranked Irish, listed as a 3-point favorite, will also be looking to avenge last Saturday's thrashing from the Michigan Wolverines. The Spartans, meanwhile, have won seven of the last nine match-ups against Notre Dame and are coming off an impressive 38-23 victory over Pittsburgh.

Out west, 22nd-ranked Arizona State will be battling for their first victory over 21st-ranked California since 2000. Although the Golden Bears are listed as 7.5-point favorites, the Sun Devils are 3-0, lead the nation in sacks with 18 and possess the Pac-10's leading passer in sophomore quarterback Rudy Carpenter.
