SOME MASSIVE SHOWDOWNS ACROSS THE BOARD THIS WEEK IN THE LEAGUE! We get minnows on the road to top tier teams, some midtable showdowns and of course the MILAN DERBY! It all adds up to another great round of fixtures in the BEST DAMN LEAGUE IN THE WORLD!
Apologies ahead of time but you are getting the short short version this week.Â
Matchups
v
PARMA V LECCE Bottom tier showdown! 2 teams fighting near the drop? Screams draw. Love a BTTS here. 1-1 draw written all over this one. Man shoots. So does Krstoivic. Parma DC and over 1.5 at -140 feels like a lock. DRAW
v
MONZA V HELLAS Another relegation zone battle! Monza out here making changes to try and stay alive. Hellas making January moves because that’s what they do! Watch Mosquera for Hellas. SOT? For sure. These games always smell of under and a draw. Lean that way. Monza DC and under 3 at +105? Yes please. Another DRAW
v
UDINESE V VENEZIA Udinese feel pretty safe despite 2 losses in a row but we all know every point is valuable. A win here against Venezia would be MASSIVE. Neither team is a juggernaut here so under feels good. We know Pohjanpolo will shoot. I also love Lucca to shoot and probably get a goal here. The man is on fire. Another draw feels like the way to go here but I think Udinese gets a much needed win at home. Probably 1-0 or 2-0. UDINESE WINS
v
ATALANTA V TORINO The Atalanta recipe is simple. Retegui AGS. CDK TSOA. Most likely BTTS and over at home. Follow those guidelines and odds are you will be a happy camper. As far as Torino goes the gloves are off for Adams. He has 4 goals in 7 and is shooting like crazy. Vlasic always a nice shot prop as well. A win here keeps Atalanta within hailing distance of the top and gets them closer to securing top 4. ATALANTA WINS
v
BOLOGNA V COMO Bologna don’t lose at home, they do concede though. These 2 teams have combined for 10 straight BTTS games. 6 of those 10 have gone over 2.5. Both can score and will score. Paz shots are a must and AGS is worth your while. Bologna spread things around more. You can count on Odgaard shots though. Parlay some of those ideas together and you should do ok here. Result? You know I have a soft spot for Italiano and company. BOLOGNA WINS
v
JUVENTUS V EMPOLI Somebody kill me please! 0-0 at the half. Juve DC and under 2.5 at plus money? Yes please. Might be a 1-1 draw but likely a 1-0 or 2-0 Juve win. Sleep in and avoid at all costs folks. JUVE WINS
v
FIORENTINA V GENOA A very tasty little off the radar matchup here. Genoa have only lost 2 of 12 since Viera arrived. The defense is solid, only conceding 9 along the way. They visit Fiorentina who’s scoring has slowed down as well as their results. Can’t say I expect Genoa to win this but I don’t expect them to lose here either. Genoa DC is +140. That feels like a steal. Maybe too good to be true? Maybe not. Vasquez has been excellent of late for them. Shot prop at over 1.5 looks friendly. Same with De Winter. Crazy for 2 CBs right? DRAW
v
MILAN V INTER This might not be pretty folks. (Check the matchday for details)
v
ROMA V NAPOLI GAME OF THE WEEK! Yes, you read that right. These teams are 1 and 3 in the form table in the league. Roma are knocking on the door of relevancy in Serie A. They have made the Olimpico a fortress again and would like nothing more than a scalp from the league leaders. They still struggle mightily against any top team not named Lazio. That has to end here to have any shot at top 4. Dovbyk is a machine and the Napoli back line will concede. BTTS a solid shot here. Speaking of shots, Angelino never saw one he didn’t like. Over 1.5? Yes please. For Napoli Anguissa keeps pumping them in. Shots? TSOA? Why not. Lukaku against an old club? Hard to say no. I think we see a very spirited 2-2 game here that tops the charts this weekend. DRAW
v
CAGLIARI V LAZIO Cagliari at home is a must for a result and goals. I never seem to get anything right with Lazio so I won’t even comment on those bastards. What I will say is that BTTS and the over should be in play here. Cagliari usually get results at home. Cagliari DC and over feels right. Which probably means Lazio wins. For that reason alone I will say CAGLIARI WINS
Final Thoughts
Another round of great games in what BURROAKS77 PROMISES ME is the BEST DAMN LEAGUE IN THE WORLD!!!!!
