Serie A Betting – Matchday 3 Preview & Odds (Sep 20-21)

September 18th, 2008

Serie A betting has thrown up some surprising results in the two weeks of results to date, giving the table an unusual look. Roma and AC Milan sit in the bottom four, both without a win, while Lazio and Atlanta have maximum points. This situation is likely to change in time but the outright Serie A betting at PinnaceSports.com (our top rating online sportsbook for handicap odds) has reflected these early trends with Inter Milan solid favourites at 2.090*, Juventus moving into 4.000*, while AC Milan and Roma have both drifted after uncertain starts, to 5.500* and 9.500* respectively.

Roma & Milan Facing Mini Crises

Roma the reigning Coppa Italia Champions, and runners-up in Serie A for the past the three seasons, have made a shambolic start to the new season. Luciano Spalletti’sside have taken one point from two league games, and lost at home on matchday one of the Champions League group phase to Romanian champions, CFR, making their debut in the competition. There were signs in pre-season that all was not well with the Giallorossi, evident in a 5-0 friendly defeat at White Hart Lane, so the pressure will be on Roma to take maximum points at home to Reggina on Saturday. Despite their poor start, PinnacleSports.com price Spalletti’s team as favourites on the Serie A Asian Handicap betting: Roma 2.160 (-1.5)*, Reggina 1.794 (+1.5)* – a market priced to less than 102%.

In common with Roma, AC Milan have made an awful start to the new campaign, taking nothing from their opening two league games, despite the presence of former World Player of the Year, Ronaldinho. The club kept faith with Carlo Ancellotti despite his failure to qualify for the Champions League, but their patience may wear thin if the losing run continues at home to Lazio on Sunday. A showdown meeting was held this week, which has draw a line in the sand. The Sky Blues have taken maximum points from their games, so will be buzzing, and all too aware that Milan were vulnerable at the San Siro last season, failing to win in their first seven games. Nevertheless PinnacleSports.com make AC Milan favourites for Sunday’s game: AC Milan 2.070 (-0.5 & -1)*, Lazio 1.862 (+0.5 & +1)*.
