Lazio vs Torino-Tuesday,March 2
The Lazio vs Torino matchup have recently become very interesting, both result-wise and table-wise. Despite the fact that Torino haven’t been themselves ever since that record-breaking 2018/19 Serie A season when they enteredtheEuropa League Qualifiers, they have the magnificent Andrea Belotti to help them stay afloat inthe Italian top division. The 27-year-old striker has netted 11goals and made five assists in Serie A so far this season.
On the other side of the pitch, there is the inspired Lazio, who have returnedto leagueduty after their 4-1 first-leg loss to Bayern in the Champions League Round of 32. The Rome club were on a six-game winning streak until their 1-0 defeat to current league leadersInter earlier in Round 22. They will be led by one of the highest-scoring goalscorers this term, Immobile. The Italy international has scored 14 goals and added 3 assists so far.
Having both teams’current form in mind, betting that the game will have Over 2.5 goals could be a sure bet, so at -132, a $100 bet could earn the bettor $84 on FanDuel.
Sassuolo vs Napoli-Wednesday,March 3
Sassuolo have had a very colorful season ever since its beginning, but they refuse to give up on fighting for the fifth spot, which leads directly to the Europa League Group Stage. At the moment, they are placed in eighth placeon the Serie A table but are trailing 5th-placed Atalanta by eight points. They simply haven’t been the same since late-November 2020, and as a result,theBlack and Greens have secured only two wins in 2021 so far.
Napoli, meanwhile, have also begun to struggle despite their strong start of the season. Ever since 2020 ended,they have dropped from third to the seventh position, suffering difficult losses to Lazio, Inter, Atalanta,Genoa, and even Spezia. To make matters worse, Spanish side Granada managed to kick them out of the Europa League with an aggregate win in the Round of 32. Things are not looking great for Gennaro Gattuso as well, who has been on the brink of a sack for several weeks now.
The lone good thing for thePartenopei for this game is the perfect head-to-head duels record that they have against their Wednesday’s opponentsSassuolo. The Blues have nine triumphs over Roberto De Zerbi’s side in 16 overall games so far. What is fascinating is thatin the last eightmatches, these sides have not scored more than two goals altogether. Thus, it would be indisputable to think that this game will have Under 2.5 goals. A$100 bet could earn the bettor $124, as per FanDuel. In addition, if you got to pick anyone to put the ball in the back of the net in this game, lookno further than Ciro Immobile or Andre Belotti. Immobileis at +240to bethe first one to score, while the odds of Belotti opening the score are at +270.
Genoa vs Sampdoria-Wednesday,March 3
The ever-lastingDerby della Lanterna will seeGenoa ‘host’ Sampdoria in their second clash this campaign. The first one onNovember 26, 2020, saw theRed and Blues graba 3-1 victory. The fact that thefirst head-to-head match was contested in 1902, makes itis the oldest derby in Italian football. Back then Sampdoriawereknown as Andrea Doria. Placed in the 10th position, theBlucerchiati have two wins, two losses, and a draw in the last five Serie A games.
Their arch-rivals Genoa have improved significantly over the course of the season, especially after the beginning of the new year. They have not a single game since January 6, when they suffered a 2-1 loss to Sassuolo. Thus, from being closer to the relegation danger zone, theRossobluhave climbed in 11th place, just below theirWednesday’s opponents Sampdoria. They are trailing four points off the 10th spot, so a win against their direct rival would certainly inch them closer toreaching that goal.
It looks set to be an exciting derby withFanDuel favoring Sampdoria by a small margin, asClaudio Ranieri’s side arepaying out +155, Genoa+190, and a draw is at +220.
Parlays for these four matchups of Serie A Round 24
A solid parlay bet could be the following:Lazio andTorino to score over 2.5 goals; Andre Belotti of Torino to score the first goal of the match; Sassuolo andNapoli to score under 2.5 goals, and Sampdoria to beat Genoa with any result. At $100, the bettor could win up to $417.
