Italian gambling news report that the thrilling clashes for clinching the Serie A title have started last weekend. Surprising results and lots of goals, these were the main attributes the first matchday of the Italian championship showcased. Serie A betting was a bit unpredictable during last week as both Milan and Juve lost their first games. The next round could bring even more exciting encounters and even more surprising results.
• Sassuolo are not regarded as favourite
• Milan should win the next game
• Roma vs Juve, unpredictable derby
A big derby and several great matches are ahead of us in the second matchday, where both AC Milan and FC Juventus will be given the chance to correct their mistakes they made in the first round. Empoli and Roma would definitely not like their rivals to collect any points, so football enthusiasts can expect some passionate clashes for the weekend.
Bologna vs Sassuolo and Milan vs Empoli
Bologna kicked off the new season away from home with a 2-1 loss against Lazio. Now they will be given the opportunity to reach a better result at home. Sassuolo, Bologna’s opponent in the next round, have played their first match against title-favorite Napoli on home field. They have defeated Maurizio Sarri’s men by 2-1, thanks to the goals scored by Floro, who was in the starting lineup, and Sansone, who came in as a substitute.
Even though the promising results of the first round, Sassuolo are still regarded as underdogs for the clash against Bologna. Pinnacle Sports believes that the win over Napoli was a one-time luck, and they will not be able to repeat the glorious performance in the second matchday. Hence, the online bookmaker has set the odds for the visitors at 3.58 (129/50), while those for Bologna are 2.25 (5/4) and the draw is 3.35 (47/20).
Online gambling sites in Italy are looking forward to the encounter between AC Milan and Empoli. The Rossoneri have strengthened their squad with the likes of Carlos Bacca and Luiz Adriano, who came from Sevilla and Shakhtar respectively. Yet they failed to collect a single point in the first round as they lost 2-0 to Fiorentina on away field.
Empoli also lost their first match in the new season of the Serie A. They played in front of their own supporters and were defeated rather easily by Chievo. Even though the fact that Empoli scored the first goal of the game, the visitors replied to that by 3 goals in the second half. Milan are favorites for the clash with odds of 1.52 (13/25) while those for Empoli and for draw are 7.42 (321/50) and 4.40 (17/5) respectively.
Roma vs Juventus and Carpi vs Inter
There is no question which game will be the biggest derby of the weekend in the second round of the Italian championship. AS Roma will take on the title defenders in an emotional clash in hopes of clinching a great victory over their arch-rivals. However, FC Juventus are not known for their generosity of giving away three points too easily.
online gambling sites in Italy report that the capital side was only good for a 1-1 draw in the stadium of Hellas Verona. Although that result is still better than what Juventus achieved as the title holder lost 0-1 to Udinese on home field. Rome are tight favorites for the derby as Serie A betting sites have set the odds for Rudi García’s men at 2.64 (41/25) while those for Juventus are 3.02 (101/50). A draw between the two sides would pay 3.22 (111/50) times the stake.
Less of a derby but another great spectacle can be expected from the encounter between Inter Milan and the newly promoted Carpi. The Milan-based side won its first match with a last-minute score from Jovetic. It was a really tight clash against another blue and black colored team, Atalanta. On the other hand, Carpi has played the most entertaining game of the first round, however they had to leave the field without any kind of pleasure as they lost 5-2 to Sampdoria.
7 goals, a red card and a missed penalty… that game had everything why people watch football, and mobile betting sites are only hoping for another great spectacle from the clash between Serie A’s new side and FC Internazionale. Pinnacle Sports believe Inter are favourites with their 1.85 (17/20) odds. Those for Carpi are 4.98 (199/50), while draw pays 3.58 (129/50) times the stake.
