Football – Italy – Serie A Betting Tips

Despite holding home advantage at their Stadio Adriatico-Giovanni Cornacchia ground on Monday night, hosts Pescara face a difficult fixture against second placed Roma who will be desperate to hang onto their automatic Champions League place.

Pescara currently sit bottom of Serie A some 15 points adrift of Empoli in the safety position of 17th in the Italian top flight, and they indeed look down and out already even though there are six games of the season remaining for the home side ahead of tonight’s clash.

With just two wins throughout the whole of this season to date, Pescara have struggled all campaign while their home record stands at a poor  1-5-10  16/33. It’s now seven matches without a win for Pescara, and they have a record of  0-4-4  7/15 at home to top half teams to date. Incidentally, 9 of their 16 home matches have seen over 2.5 goals scored.

Second placed Roma are unlikely to catch current Serie A leaders Juventus as the Old Lady hold a commanding 11 point lead over Roma, but tonight’s visitors will be going all out to maintain their automatic Champions League berth with a win this evening.

Roma are also second highest in overall goals scored in the Italian top flight with 70 goals to their credit to date, but they’ll also be keen to improve upon their away record which currently stands at a slightly disappointing  9-2-5  27/15.

That said, Roma have won their last four away matches on the trot with wins gained at Crotone, Inter Milan, Palermo and Bologna, racking up a total of 11 goals for and conceding just once during this sequence. They too have 9 of their 16 away matches that have resulted in over 2.5 goals.

I’ll back Roma to take the points here along with over 2.5 goals in total.
