HELLAS VERONA v VICENZA
Monday 1st May 2017 – Kickoff: 1500hrs
Football – Italy – Serie B Betting Tips
Second placed Hellas Verona hold a slender one point lead over third placed promotion rivals Frosinone when they prepare for the visit of lowly Vicenza on Monday night in the Italian Serie B.
Verona can extend this lead to four points though with a win this evening, and with home advantage at their Stadio Marc’Antonio Bentegodi where they possess a strong record of 11-6-2 32/14, they’ll no doubt be confident they can capture the points tonight.
Overall, Hellas Verona are unbeaten in their last four matches in the Italian second tier which includes wins over Cittadella and Bari along with draws against Novara and Perugia which were both achieved away from home. Look out for striker and leading goalscorer Pazzini (23 goals) tonight.
Visitors Vicenza sit fourth from bottom in the Italian Serie B and therefore occupy one of the relegation play-off spots ahead of this difficult encounter that lies ahead of them in this Monday night fixture.
Vicenza have managed just two wins from their last eight league matches overall which were registered against Latina (away) and a 3-1 home win over Novara last time out, but recent defeats away at third placed Frosinone and fourth placed Perugia perhaps underline their difficulties when facing superior opposition, particularly away from home.
Vicenza’s overall away record stands at 5-5-9 16/27 and they’ve managed just one away win from their last nine on their travels, so this may well be another indicator as to the outcome of this clash tonight.
To sum up, Hellas Verona have suffered just one defeat from their last 11 league matches overall, so I’ll back the hosts here this evening.
