SERIE A YTD: 74W-69L-35T (+46.18 units)
If you thought Serie B produced some seriously wacky results on Saturday, be prepared for even more in Sunday's Serie A. Proceeding through the mine field as follows:
Catania at UDINESE - Considering Catania has not won in 14 games, you would expect a minimum line of +0.5 and +1. At pk and +0.5, and you start to wonder if the books have given you a gift(Udinese). Perhaps so. With 33 points, Catania has collapsed into relegation territory. A loss today and Serie B is on the horizon. Next on the schedule: Empoli, Milan, and Sampdoria; a must win scenario to say the least. Welcome to the dark side.
Catania pk and +0.5 +113 (8 units)
Lazio at AS ROMA - After having reeled 8 straight victories, Lazio has 2 draws and 1 loss in the last three games. Last week's loss to Fiorentina was a psychological blunder, with the effects carried over to this game. After having scored 21 goals in the previous nine games, Lazio has failed to score in the last two. Roma has conceded only 8 goals at home, while scoring 39. All teams go through highs and lows, and unfortunately for Lazio, Roma is not the opponent you want to face in these situations, especially when the home side would like nothing better to avenge the 3-0 first leg loss. Expect a couple of yellows and a red here, as fouls will be a plenty. Totti or no Totti, Roma should win here. Home side has not lost two in a row, and should bounce back from
last week's fiasco at Atalanta.
AS ROMA pk and -0.5 -116 ( 8 units)
Atalanta at MESSINA - Atalanta's last two opponents, Empoli and Roma - both defensive juggernauts. Messina should provide a refreshing change.
Atalanta +0.5 -110 (4 units)
Atalanta over 2.5 -108 (4 units)
Sampdoria at SIENA
SIENA -0.5 -121 (5 units)
Palermo at Livorno - Both teams have the capability to blow leads at the last minute. Surely there is enough entertainment here, for each team to produce at least a goal each.
Palermo over 2 and 2.5 -113 (4 units)
Good luck,
