Re: Serie A > April 12th - 14th Roma - Atalanta Roma will be without Benatia, Strootman, Balzaretti, Destro, Florenzi and Pjanic Totti is doubtfull, odd for home win really too low considering this Atalanta after home defeat against Sassuolo showed they are not interested in EL qualification, but I think they can create difficulties to Roma Sassuolo -Cagliari Cagliari sacked trainer Lopez, Pulga will be new manager, a defeat here can be a problem cause they have 7 points more from relegation zone I think Cagliari will go for a draw, Sassuolo need 3 points absolutely so Sassuolo can leave space for Cagliari counterattack and this is Ibarbo manner of play Maybe both to score, and for fun Ibarbo to score Bologna - Parma Parma wants EL, Bologna needs point Parma can win here, Cassano should be out for them Maybe a draw can be ok for both @3.2 good odd for this draw Livorno - Chievo Livorno focused on this match win a win here can leave Chievo in relegation zone key match for both, Paulinho has been rested against Juve for this match, he is topscorer of Livorno Under seems quite sure, maybe -0.25 on home side Napoli - Lazio Too low odd on Napoli, they are focused on Italian cup final, I think Napoli can win but I await live for a better odd, Lazio will go for a draw

Re: Serie A > April 12th - 14th Samp - Inter After defeat against Lazio, Mihajlovic fix a training session Monday morning at 7.00 a.m like a punishment for players, Inter is bot in a good moment, and I think Samp will not loose this one maybe both to score is the better choice, If Inter repeat the same manner of play of last match against Bologna they will loose this one Torino - Genoa This will be like a friendly match both are not interested in EL as showed Supporters of 2 teams have a good relation I take Over around @2 Verona - Fiorentina Montella focused on Italian Cup final, so will not risk injured players like Vargas Verona according to me is not interested in EL qualification, they are focused on Toni record of goals and Toni wants to reach Italian call for World Cup Maybe Over Milan - Catania Catania sacked Maran, Pellegrino (young sector responsible) is new Manager It seems clearly home win, Catania almost relegated Milan in a really good moment

Re: Serie A > April 12th - 14th Looking at the Livorno v Chievo game The bookies have it priced at unders but I just don't see it. Livorno have conceded 2 or more goals in 6 of their last 10 at home. They have failed to score in 4 of 16 home games. (Parma, Juventus, Roma, Genoa), so say 2 in 14 because Juventus and Roma are strong and defend well. Livorno are over 2.5 in 7 of their last 9 Chievo are defensively weak away from home, conceding 3 goals a game in 4 of their last 5 away. They are over 2.5 in 5 of their last 5 away. I think goals are coming in this game, and am willing to risk 2 units at odds of 2.3 bet365

Re: Serie A > April 12th - 14th Thoughts on Bologna - Parma anyone? Would be appreciated. Parma lost their last 3 away but against Juve, Lazio and Roma. Prior to that they had won 4 in a row away. Bologna have only won 1 of their last 7 at home so I'm thinking Parma can at least take a point here... Cassano and Parolo are out. But they get Lucarelli and Amauri back from suspension. Is Parolo hugely important? What's his replacement like? Bologna are trying to avoid relegation but Parma are level with Inter and trying to take their Europa place knowing that Inter are a flaky team who are always up and down. This should add to their conviction that if they perform they will make Europe. Donandoni's statement: "we were coming off three consecutive defeats, even if two were undeserved, but we never cried over spilt milk. We knew this squad was achieving great things and we are satisfied for our fans, the city and our President.” Grazie :ok

[ultravires]

Re: Serie A > April 12th - 14th Parolo is an important player Toto. Alongside Marchionni and Acquah he is the player that carries most of the onus from the midfield. Acquah is powerful, but not as good as Parolo technically. With Gargano as his probable replacement the midfield loses craft as well as shooting and passing ability. I suppose if you were to take a positive from that change then Parma may become a bit more solid in midfield as Gargano is a decent battler. I think Parma can handle Bologna in this one but a draw wouldn't be a shock. I think it is priced pretty fairly, Parma to shade it probably.

Re: Serie A > April 12th - 14th Monday 14th April Udinese v Juventus Just wondering if Udinese are any value tonight at odds of up to 7.2 (Pinnacle). No pressure on Udinese, a good home record. Would Juve take a draw with games running out? They've got easier looking games coming up. Udinese's home record is nearly as good as Juve's away one.

[neilovan]

Re: Serie A > April 12th - 14th Udinese v Juventus Everything is pointing at under 2.5 goals here. Both teams are low scorers in the first half of home and away games respectively. Udinese have 6 first half goals in 15 home games. Juventus have 8 goals in 16 first halves away. Udeinese have goe no BTTS in 4 of their last 5 at home. Juventus have gone no BTTS in their last 4 away games. 6 of the last 8 H2H (this fixture) have been no BTTS Add to this that Juv just have to 'stumble' over the finish line to win SERIE A For me it's under 2.5 goals at about 1.8 betvictor for 3 units. I really don't think this game is going to produce a pile of goals. I would have a semi-long shot bet on the HT FT exact score of 0-0 and 0-1 which is 9 to 1 on bet365 for 1 unit

Result: Udinese 0 Juventus 2 "Boys against men" here from what I saw. The Juve defence outclassed the Udinese attack, and the home team didn't really have a shot until the last 5 minutes when Juve got a bit casual and Udinese had one or two chances. Good call by neilovan on the unders :ok

[TotoSchillaci]

Re: Serie A > April 12th - 14th Juve want to get as many wins in a row sooner rather than later so they can relax on match day 37 when they travel to Rome but more importantly to not have the added league pressure during their battle with Benfica. The 3 points today was an important step in that direction as it restored the 8 point gap. What Juve don't want is a good Roma side breathing down their necks as they try to get to the Europa final in Turin.
