I've picked out 4 games from Serie A this afternoon while I will add a further preview for the big Inter vs Juventus fixture later on in the day. Here's what I've come up with. Serie A
14:00 Atalanta vs Carpi - Prediction -2.1 - Suggested Bets - BTTS @1/1 Key Facts * Atalanta have seen BTTS in 16 of their last 18 home Serie A fixtures going back 12 months * Atalanta have kept just 4 clean sheets in their last 26 home Serie A fixtures * Atalanta have lost just 1 of their last 6 Serie A fixtures * Atalanta beat Sampdoria 2.1 in their last home fixture * Carpi have seen BTTS and over 2.5 goals in all 3 of their away fixtures so far this season and in 5 out of 7 fixtures so far * Carpi have scored 5 goals in those 3 away fixtures but they have conceded 12 * Carpi got their first ever Serie A win in their last fixture, a 2.1 home win over Torino * Carpi have had a tough start to life in Serie A and they have done well to take 5 points from games against Roma, Napoli, Fiorentina, Torino, Inter, Sampdoria and Palermo Final Verdict - BTTS a big price at even money Atalanta have an excellent BTTS record with 89% of all home league fixtures in the last year producing BTTS and that can continue today at a big price with Carpi showing they have something to offer in this division. Carpi won their first match last time around and when you also consider they have scored in 5 of their 3 away games so far, BTTS @1/1 looks far too big and I can imagine that price dropping to 5/6 in the coming hours. The hosts will expect to win but I don't think it will be so easy against a team that will have taken a huge lift from winning their first fixture in the top flight 2 weeks ago. I'm backing BTTS at a very generous 1/1 14:00 Napoli vs Fiorentina - Prediction - 2.2 - Suggested Bets - BTTS @4/5, BTTS and over 2.5 goals @13/10 Key Facts * Napoli have scored 2 or more in 12 of their last 14 home league fixtures and in 19 out of 21 going back 1 year * Napoli have seen BTTS in 7 of their last 10 home league fixtures including BTTS and over 2.5 goals in 4 of their last 5 * Napoli have also seen 10 of their last 12 in the league produce BTTS * Napoli have won 9 of their last 13 at home in Serie A * Napoli are unbeaten in their last 6 Serie A fixtures * Napoli have beaten Juventus (2.1) and Milan (4.0) in their last 2 league fixtures * Fiorentina have won 5 in a row in Serie A and sit top with 18 points from 7 fixtures * Fiorentina have seen 5 of their last 6 on the road produce BTTS and over 2.5 goals * Fiorentina have won 11 of their last 12 Serie A fixtures going back to April * The Viola have just 2 clean sheets in 15 their last 15 away Serie A fixtures * But they have Scored in 18 of their last 21 away league fixtures * Fiorentina have scored 2 or more in 4 of their last 6 away fixtures * Fiorentina thumped Inter 4.1 in their last away Serie A fixtures Final Verdict - Goals look very likely here 14:00 Verona vs Udinese - Prediction - 1.2 - Suggested Bets - BTTS @ 8/11 Key Facts * Verona have drawn 7 of their last 11 league fixtures including 3 of their last 4 at home against heavyweight;s Juventus, Roma and Torino. * Verona are without a win in 9 Serie A fixtures with 4 draws from their first 7 fixtures this season * Verona have lost only 3 of their last 11 at home. * Verona have scored 2 or more in 6 of their last 10 home league fixtures * Verona have seen BTTS in 9 of their last 12 home league fixtures including their 5 most recent home fixtures * Verona have scored in 23 of their last 26 home league fixtures with 18 of those seeing BTTS * Verona have just 1 clean sheet in 12 home league fixtures and in none of their 13 most recent league fixtures * Verona have yet to win this season, drawing 3 and losing 4 fixtures while veteran striker Luca Toni is still missing through injury * Udinese have seen BTTS in their last 4 Serie A fixtures and in 3 of their last 5 on the road * Udinese have scored in 12 of their last 16 away league fixtures including 6 of their last 7 * Udinese have won 2 out of 3 away fixtures so far this season * 3 of the last 4 meetings between these two sides have seen BTTS and over 2.5 goals with 8 of the last 10 since 1999 seeing BTTS 14:00 Sassuolo vs Lazio - Prediction 2.2 - Suggested Bets - BTTS @5/6 Key Facts * Sassuolo have seen BTTS in each of their last 5 home fixtures * Sassuolo lost their first Serie A fixture in 12 in their most recent outing at Empoli * Sassuolo have lost only 1 of their last 10 home fixtures and just 3 out of 19 in 1 year * Sassuolo have scored in 13 of their last 16 home Serie A fixtures * Lazio won last season's corresponding fixture 3.0 * 3 of their only 4 Serie A meetings have seen BTTS and over 2.5 goals * Lazio have won 3 in a row in the league and 6 of their last 8 but they have lost their last 2 out of 3 on the road * Lazio have conceded 10 goals in 3 away league fixtures this season * Lazio have just 1 clean sheet in their last 8 away league fixtures Final Verdict - BTTS has every chance here Serie A Suggested Bets Sassuolo vs Lazio - BTTS @5/6 Verona vs Udinese - BTTS @ 8/11 Atalanta vs Carpi - BTTS @1/1 Napoli vs Fiorentina - BTTS @4/5 Napoli vs Fiorentina - BTTS and over 2.5 goals @13/10 Comments are closed.
