27-02-2008 Serie A Betting - Matchday 26 Preview

Serie A demonstrated last weekend that Italian football has come a long way since the days of dour defending and Catenaccio. There were 35 goals on matchday 24, with 16 coming in just two games!!! If you like betting on team totals, as well as Asian Handicaps, or the traditional 1,2, and X, there is only one logical place to bet on Italian football. PinnacleSports.com offer up to 60% better Serie A betting odds than traditional bookmakers.

Roberto Mancini’s Inter Milan side face a tricky fixture in Naples on Sunday, but at least have a further week to prepare for the crucial 2nd leg Champions League tie against Liverpool. While the seven other ties take place on March 3rd and 4th, Inter hosts the Reds at the San Siro on March 11th, looking to overhaul a two goal deficit. Zlatan Ibrahimovic – Inter’s top scorer – was fairly anonymous in the defeat at Anfield, but Mancini was quick to defend him, citing persistent knee problems.

As a result the big Swede could be rested for this game, as could several other of the Nerazzurri’s stars. Napoli’s first season back in the big time has certainly provided entertainment for their notoriously loyal fans. The Neapolitans have failed to keep a clean sheet in eleven games, and their last three games at the Stadio San Paolo have each produced four goals. The Partenopei seem to raise their game for the big home clashed beating Udinese and Juventus 3-1 already, but PinnacleSports.com make Inter Milan favourites on their Asian Handicap.

Fiorentina Must Beat Juve to Maintain European Hopes

As we move towards the fourth and final quarter of the Italian season, the table is starting to assume a familiar look with Serie A’s aristocracy assuming the key positions. The two Milan sides, along with Roma and Juventus, look well placed to fill the four Champions League spots, but Fiorentina could still crash that party. In order to do that La Viola must win away at Juve on Sunday. An away win would however upset the form book.

Fiorentina have lost their last three clashes with top four sides, without even scoring, the most recent being last weekend, when they lost 1-0 to Roma at the Stadio Olimpico. Their UEFA Cup campaign maybe negatively affecting their league form, something that Juventus don’t have to worry about. Juve have lost just once at home this season, and Fiorentina are without star striker, Adrian Mutu, sidelined for a month. PinnacleSports.com price Juventus as marginal favourites on their Asian handicap.
