Wednesday 20th April 2016 – Kickoff: 2045hrs
Football – Italy – Serie A Betting Tips
Third placed Roma will be looking to make up ground on second placed Napoli when they take on Torino at their Stadio Olimpico as they search to extend their unbeaten run in Serie A to 14 matches overall in the Italian top flight.
Roma have also recently secured valuable away wins at Udinese and Lazio in 2-1 and 4-1 victories respectively, while their home form has been very solid throughout this campaign amidst an overall record of 10-5-1 37/15.
The hyper-critical amongst us would be pointing out that tonight’s hosts have been involved in too many stalemates on home turf, but they do hold a solid record at home against top half opposition in a record so far of 4-3-1 14/8 which includes wins over Lazio, Genoa and Fiorentina.
Visitors Torino currently occupy a safe mid-table position ahead of their trip tonight away at Roma with seemingly very little left to play for for the remainder of the season as they’ve secured their Serie A status for another campaign.
However, that said, Torino go into this encounter on the back of three straight wins in Serie A having registered victories over Inter Milan, Atalanta and Bologna, while possessing an away record of 5-3-8 19/24 with two away wins on the trot under their belts in recent weeks too.
But the opportunity lies in Torino’s away performances against top half opposition as their record so far in these situations reads a below-par 2-1-5 6/10.
I’ll therefore back the hosts to record the three points this evening.
Pick: Roma to win @ 1.50 William Hill
