Re: Serie A > February 22nd - 24th Sampdoria v Milan There are some weird and interesting stats involving both teams. Sampdoria have not conceded a 1st half goal in 10 games at home. They have a total of 5 1st half match goals in 12 home games. They are under 1.5 1st half goals in all 12 home games. Sampdoria have scored in their last 9 home games. Milan have not won an away 1st half this season. Away from home they are a defensive mess, with 1 clean sheet in 12 away games. 8 times in 12 away games they have conceded 2 goals or more. So it's reasonable to expect Sampdoria to score 1 against Milan's porous defense. Milan should also get on the scoresheet. BTTS is 1.91 on betvictor for a standard 2 units. One other stat regarding Sampdoria is more 2nd half goals. They are still the leaders in Europe in home games regarding this stat. They are more 2nd half goals in 10 of 12 home games (83%) Their goal differential between halves is 18 (24 - 6 , only Heerenveen and Swansea have higher) The downside of this bet is Milan's 1st half match goals in away games. Milan have had 2 or more goals in an away 1st half in 8 of 12 games. If you reckon Milan will keep this high level of 1st half scoring up, then over 1.5 1st half goals is an option (3.2 betway for over 1.5 1st half goals). If you reckon that Sampdoria's defense will keep a quiet 1st half, then the more 2nd half goals is the bet. (2.2 bwin) I am on the fence regarding which way to go here. But am interested in hearing replies regarding ....

Basically I think BTTS is a sound play as both sides have significant defensive issues heading into this contest. My recommendation for this match would be Pazzini anytime goalscorer @ 21/10 (Spreadex) - With centre-back Gastaldello out for the home side it will pave the way for the Milan centre-forward to return to his old stomping ground and give his former team a damn good haunting. Not sure about this whole HT/FT business, if you're getting conflicting stats then maybe the best thing to do is leave it, otherwise it's like flipping a coin. Guessing is an unacceptable methodology in this line of work.

Re: Serie A > February 22nd - 24th Atalanta were awful last week getting thumped at home to Parma,who were just as bad the week before against Catania.They have a terrible away record and if Udinese push hard for a win im sure they will get it.Home win 4/5 Bet 365.

Re: Serie A > February 22nd - 24th Sampdoria: Da Costa; Fornasier, Mustafi, Regini, Costa; Palombo, Obiang;Gabbiadini, Kristicic, Wszolek; Eder Milan: Amelia; Abate, Zaccardo, Rami, Constant; Montolivo, Muntari; Honda,Saponara, Taarabt; Pazzini I was about to back both teams to score but after seing the starting 11s I have decided to skip. Good luck all who have bets on this match.

Re: Serie A > February 22nd - 24th Inter: Handanovic; Rolando, Samuel, Juan Jesus; Jonathan, Guarin,Kuzmanovic, Alvarez, Nagatomo; Palacio, Milito Cagliari: Avramov; Dessena, Rossettini, Astori, Avelar; Vecino, Cossu, Ekdal;Adryan; Ibarbo, Pinilla Inter were having difficulties of scoring until the Fiorentina match, where they showed a good performance. I am expecting Cagliari to park a bus today, as they always do in their matches and use Ibarbo and Pinilla with counter attacks. I don't think that Cagliari are scoring today. Inter will miss Hernanes, I think they are going to have some difficulties to break Cagliari defense down, perhaps till 60' minute. Under 2.5 looks good bet at 2.00 Sbobet

Re: Serie A > February 22nd - 24th Hi what are you think of the match of this night? I think Fiorentina draw with goals (1-1 2-2 3-3 ecc..) and napoli win with 2 handicap goals. These are very good share in my opinion. Sorry if in my speech there are some mistakes but i'm not english. I'm here because i noticed that this is the best betting site in the world, have i wrong?

Re: Serie A > February 22nd - 24th Monday nights games look like a bit of a lottery but there are some stats that could be used to produce a winning bet or 2. Parma v Fiorentina Both teams are playing pretty tight football with few goals scored. Parma started the season with 4 of 5 home games having 4 goals or more but then settled down. In their last 7 home games they have been under 2.5 goals 6 times. They have not conceded more than 1 goal in a game in 7 at home. 5 of these games they have kept a 1st half clean sheet, and 4 of these games were 0-0 at HT. Fiorentina are not so good away from home and their goals have dried up They did score 3 against a bad Catania side, otherwise they have failed to score in 3 of 6 away games. Nothing between these teams. H2H the last 4 fixtures produced a draw 4 times in a row 2 bets look good here Draw is probable here , 2 units at odds of 3.13 stanjames I think the under 2.5 goals could be a winner here and will back it for standard 2 units at odds of 1.8 32red If I was going for either team to win it (which seems a lottery to me), I would risk a little more and take the HT DRAW and then either team to win the game. DRAW/HW is 6 on betvictor DRAW/AW is 7.5 on betvictor

Re: Serie A > February 22nd - 24th Man these under 2.5 bets are fcking impossible. 2 shots 2 goals and it's nil-nil at 39 minutes. No doubt it will remain 1-1 , and go over in minute 88 as per normal :wall LOL . Under 2.5 all done by minute 49. Maybe these monkey's can hold on for the win ;) which will also be ok. Prob cough up the equalizer in minute 93. Well, win 1 of them as 10 man Fiorentina equalize
