[StevieDay1983]

Here are the odds and ratings for the next round of Italian Serie A and B matches. @betcatalog, Lazio and Sampdoria failed to bring home the over 2.5 goals bet that you predicted. What are you going for this week? @ALEXXXXXXXX, you were a victim of some bad luck last weekend with Genoa scoring that equaliser against Verona in the fourth minute of added on time. After being so close last time around what are you backing this week? @StefanBB, your Milan derby bet had its logic but an Inter hammering of AC Milan ensured the prediction didn't come in unfortunately. What bets are you looking at here?

Roma vs Milan

Roma successfully continued its Europa League campaign after eliminating Braga 5:1 on aggregate. However, the hosts haven’t been pretty consistent in Serie A as they celebrated only once in the previous three rounds. Nevertheless, Paulo Fonseca’s side remains in the top four and nine points behind the top-placed Inter. Henrikh Mkhitaryan and the lads have been pretty productive in front of the oppositions’ goal, netting 47 times. However, Roma needs to tighten up its defense to keep their title chances alive and not slip down from the 4^th spot. Giallorossi are the best home team in the league as they still haven’t lost at Stadio Olimpico. Only three teams managed to get back undefeated when they traveled to Rome. Roma will have some selection issues as several important players are injured.

Milan also managed to find its way through the Europa League eight-finals. However, they were very lucky to remain in the competition, as Rossoneri eliminated Serbian champions Red Star on the away goals. Despite having an extra player on the pitch in the last 20 minutes in the game, Milan needed to defend a 1:1 draw at San Siro. The away side’s confidence seems damaged as they also tied two defeats in Serie A. They lost the Derby della Madonnina last weekend as Inter celebrated a 3:0 victory. Stefano Pioli is now four points behind its fiercest rivals and needs to get back to the winning track urgently. Milan has been excellent on the road, where they suffered only one defeat in the campaign. This period might be decisive for the away side and its title chances.

Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction

Roma is in a better momentum, but the hosts will miss Dzeko, Smalling, and Ibanez in this game. Milan could take advantage of that to get back home with a point.

Goals Market Prediction

While Roma hasn’t been too tight in the back, Milan failed to keep the clean sheet four times in a row. Therefore, we expect to see goals in both nets at the end of this clash.

Draw @ 3.50

BTTS Yes @ 1.50

Correct score 1:1 @ 7.00

Despite the points advantage and the status as Milan's "winter champions", these two teams fit in very well, as the home team's attack - especially inside the country - is often enough to sink Milan even further. Nevertheless, Giallorossi certainly suffers from a lack of faith and composure when facing the top teams, so he may be disappointed again. I believe that we can have an open match with goals and phases and I will suggest the many goals.

Lazio vs Torino

The hosts have been inconsistent lately, as they booked three wins and two losses in the previous five rounds. Lazio sits in 7^th place, but the home side is only three points behind the fourth-placed Atalanta. However, Simone Inzaghi’s team lost their last two fixtures, conceding six goals. Bayern was convincing in Rome, while Bologna took all three points in Serie A. Ciro Immobile needs more support from his teammates to drive Biancocelesti forward. On the other hand, Lazio’s defense should tighten its lines as the hosts conceded 32 times so far. Nevertheless, Lazio has been perfect at home recently, as they celebrated five times in a row at Stadio Olimpico. They need another confident display to keep their run going and stay competitive in the Champions League qualification battle.

Besides their poor campaign so far, the visitors also have severe Covid-19 troubles lately. They didn’t play last weekend, as their match against Sassuolo was postponed. Davide Nicola’s side struggles to keep its heads above the water. Torino is only two points ahead of the relegation zone, with one game in hand over struggling Cagliari. The away side booked a vital 1:0 win in Sardinia against Cagliari in their previous match. That victory broke Torino’s streak of five draws in a row. Despite not losing on the last six occasions, Il Toro picked up only eight points. However, Bremer and the lads have been pretty decent on the road recently. They lost only once in the past five outings, and they picked up more points away from home than at their ground. Torino will have severe selection troubles, though, since many players will be unavailable for this game.

Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction

Lazio is a firm favorite in this game, and they should continue their Champions League qualification race. We believe the hosts will meet the expectations and pick up all three points.

Goals Market Prediction

Their recent head-to-head clashes have been pretty efficient, and this one shouldn’t be much different. We should see at least three goals in total.

Lazio to win @ 1.45
