29-11-2007 Serie A Betting - Matchday 14 Preview

Italian football maybe going through a crisis with the concerns surrounding crowd disturbances, but Serie A still boasts some of the greatest footballers in the world. AC Milan’s Brazilian playmaker, Kaka, is widely expected to pick up the Golden Ball as Europe’s best player on Sunday, while he is also a strong candidate for the FIFA World Player of the Year title on December 17th. Despite its problems, Italian football still has a great deal to offer, and PinnacleSports.com can give bettors up to 60% better Serie A betting odds.

AC Milan’s Brazilian midfielder, Kaka, may be already preparing an acceptance speech for Sunday’s European Footballer of the Year, but he has a major challenge before then with the visit of Juventus to the San Siro on Saturday. The Rossoneri are still without a home win after six games at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, and Kaka is certainly the one player that could help finally get the monkey of the team’s back. Milan have been more productive away from home, but even last week’s 2-1 win over Cagliari lacked inspiration, so expectation will be high for the return of the Old Lady.

Juve thrashed Palermo 5-0 in Turin last weekend, with David Trezeguet notching his eleventh goal of the season, putting him four ahead of Roma’s, Francesco Totti, at the top of goal-scorer chart. Though the Zebra’s home form is impressive, though has been less successful on the road, taking just two points from their last three away games, while conceding 10 goals from a total of six games. Claudio Ranieri is still waiting for experienced defenders to return from injury, but can rely on the world’s most expensive goalkeeper, Gigi Buffon, to keep the Milan threat at bay. Despite their lack of a home win PinnacleSports.com make Milan slight slight favourites 1.877 (0/scratch & -0.5) with Juventus 2.050 (0/scratch & +0.5).

Third Welcomes Fourth at Stadio Olimpico

Third placed Roma welcome Udinese, one placed below them, for an intriguing table top clash in the Italian capital on Sunday. Roma clinched Champions League qualification with an impressive 4-1 win in Kiev on Tuesday, with two goals from Mirko Vucinic, who has been deputizing for Francesco Totti. Totti has missed seven consecutive games for the Giallorossi, and will again sit out here, while Simone Perrotta, Philippe Mexes, Alberto Aquilani and Daniele De Rossi are all nursing injuries. Roma have now gone nine competitive games without defeat but despite being third in the table have the worst home defensive record have conceded twelve times in five games.

Udinese by contrast have only conceded five times on the road, which explains why they have only been defeat once away from home, which includes impressive victories at Juventus and Fiorentina. There is a further motivation for visitors as they face a team coached by Luciano Spalletti who spent three successful years managing the club from 2002-2005 before taking the bigger challenge of managing Roma. Udinese still lacks the glamour and resources of the more established Serie A sides, but they are consistently holding their own against the so called ‘big clubs’ of Italian football and shouldn’t be under-estimated here. PinnacleSports.com price Roma favourites 1.833 (-0.5 & -1) with Udinese 2.100 (+0.5 & +1).
