Some info:
Last 13 games in Serie B 2006/2007, Brescia compiled 10W - 2L - 1T (21 GS - 7 GA) - If it was not for the crappy start, they would have probably made the Serie A graduation (Only 4W in the first 14 games). A good start is always important, and IMO playing a day ahead of the rest of the field is a psychological boost. So far, have started well with 2-0 win over Vicenza, and doubt that newly arrived Grosseto (from C1) will be able to contend with this unit, which is currently on a disciplined 11W-2L-1T run

The pk line -118, now -128 (not much move , but should go higher)
The PK line is your safety blanket for the draw. However, I see a compact and discipline team that is superior to its opponent. Middle of the second half should prove interesting IMO, where inexperienced Grosseto is bound to make mistakes. If I'm Brescia, I would be very disappointed to walk away from this match with anything less than a victory.
Brescia 1 GROSSETO 0
Brescia scores at 91st minute. Lucky on this one, but I'll certainly take it.

Serie A – 2 September, 2007
Palermo at LIVORNO
As mentioned prior, believe Palermo will struggle in the first half of the season. Livorno is a bad team (although the recent acquisitions might help down the stretch in avoiding the relegation chamber, with one Erjon Bogdani providing much needed help at the midfield slot). They will Miss Marco Ameia tomorrow, whose name has been thoroughly mentioned in market moves. However, Livorno’s fan base is one of the best in the league, and has always been a decent catalyst for the home side, who is much more comfortable (and productive) on home turf. Worth the shot IMO, with the decent value on the PK line.
LIVORNO pk +126 (3 units)
LIVORNO over 2 and 2.5 –107 (3 units)
Siena at ROMA
It would pain me if Roma ends up winning this match 1-0 or 2-1. In accordance with that philosophy, I’ll bypass the straight –1.5 line, for –1.5 and –2 +102. If game unfolds in accordance, don’t remotely see Siena scoring (unless – of course – they convert if given a penalty kick). Roma stronger this year, especially at midfield, and Siena somewhat weaker (especially on defense). Could it be any different that last year’s season opener, which saw Roma beat Siena on the road 3-1. I know it’s Serie A, where anything can happen, but do not believe it’s going to happen today at L’Olimpico.
ROMA –1.5 and –2 +102 (3 units)
Never been a fan of the fat –1.5 line. However, first half line might just sneak under the radar.
FIRST HALF: ROMA –0.5 and –1 –106 (3.5 units)
Reggina at TORINO
I am hoping this year’s version of Torino turns out to be last year’s version of Empoli, especially when playing at home. Both of these organizations respectably despise one another, so yellow and red cards are always in the picture. Similar styles between these two, with efficient speed at midfield and front three; primary difference is on defense, where Reggina has not made any significant improvements. Torino will be aggressive in newly devised 4-3-3. Don’t need Rosina to score today, as supporting cast should has clear size advantage.
It’s the TORO for me.
TORINO –0.5 –124 (3.5 units)
Parma at ATALANTA
A chess match of newly devised 4-4-2 defensive formations (especially with Atalanta). Home side is extremely tough at home, and will probably not settle for a draw before travelling to Fiorentina next week.
ATALANTA pk and –0.5 –122 (4 units)
As I mentioned in the B, season has just started; so take it easy. Nothing truly stands out. Minor recommendations with Torino –0.5, and Atalanta pk and –0.5. I know that Juventus / Cagliari looks like a solid under, and Catania / Genoa, a strong candidate for the over, but I’ll save these units for the Lazio / Sampdoria match.
Good luck,
