ATALANTA vs. ROMA - Italian Serie A (24/02/2013)

Prediction: Roma's euphoria for last's week win against Juventus may already end this sunday in Bergamo. Indeed, Roma will miss the two most representative players of the team, Totti and De Rossi, both for suspension: this is surely a huge blow for a team whose performances are still shaky and players under pressure. On the other side, Atalanta needs points to survive in Serie A and will put on a solid defensive football with its deadly counterattacks led by Denis, Carmona and Brienza.


Pick:  Atalanta (+0.25)   Stake:  6/10

CAGLIARI vs. TORINO - Italian Serie A (24/02/2013)

Prediction: Cagliari and Torino have recently been played well and collecting precious points in their fight against relegation. The game will be very tight with both teams firstly trying not to concede goals rather than trying to score. As Cagliari is having a difficult time outside the football pitch (his president has been arrested for fraud) and looks highly dependent on the goals scored by only one player, Sau, Torino is expected to be a stronger side with a solid defence and more options up front with Bianchi, Barreto and Cerci. Bet-value is on x2: a draw or a win for Torino.      

Pick:  Torino (+0.50)    Stake:  5/10 

Suggested Bookmakers:

Sbobet: Torino (+0.50) at 1.70
