Greetings,
SERIE A –FINAL YTD: 86W-84L-43T (+22.63 units)
SERIE B – YTD: 91W 94L 48T (+8.76 units)
Triestina at PIACENZA
PIACENZA -0.5 and -1 +119 (6 units)
PIACENZA OVER 2.5 –116 124 (5 units)
Arezzo at TREVISO
TREVISO +1 and +1.5 –111 (5 units)
Napoli at GENOA
Napoli pk and +0.5 +115 (15 units)
Napoli in 3-5-2 with Calaio as the premium striker. I believe this is OK, and believable for the first half, where Napoli's midfield should frustrate offensive minded Genoa. Doubt second half will have this flavor. Serie B's best defensive 4-4-2 will be deployed in the second half.
Genoa in 3-4-3 with Di Vaio and Greco carrying the offensive load, with Adailton sitting first 45 minutes, and listed as probable seconf half entry. This coaching decision is to be respected, as second half should see Genoa switch gears offensively with Adailton up the middle pressing with fresh legs. It won't work, and that's my opinion.
Key is Napoli maintaining focus and displine, as they are known for attracting red cards at the wrong time of match. If you were to compare this match-up to a comparable world stage duel, I say you are looking at a diluted version of Germany (Genoa) vs Italy (Napoli), in this past world cup semi-final.
It is probable that 17 out 20 players who will take a stab at this game will be with Genoa, which is an option is to be respected. I will be on the other side, with Serie B's best defensive squad
Bologna at ALBINOLEFFE
Bologna –0.5 +106 (7 units)
Mantova at RIMINI
RIMINI pk and -0.5 +113 (5.5 units)
Rimini OVER 2.5 +118 (7.5 units)
what will start as a defensive struggle, will unravel in the second half. I see it 2-1 Rimini, and hopefully that is how it ends.
Best fo luck to all,
MA
