running late, toss up all this cr*p. apolgies for not replying to other thread. Kon, if reading this.... thats an excellent question, and will get back to you tmrw. pardon a wee-bit un-organized.
Serie A R23: next 3 rounds, on paper, should be pretty straight forward for several clubs before the european session re-starts. but with another stupid Intl break coming up all the big clubs at the top will be gunning for the 3 pts. obviously, the 'Big One' for the wknd is Part 2 "Il derby dei Campioni"
before I begin, will someone PLEASE tell me where Man City getting all this money from? nearly 20 mill?? ... and the kid wont even be joining them till next year. sweet jesus on a cracker.
Pending plays:
Udinese to win @+123
Cagliari/Fior O2.5 @-120
Verona/Bologna - not much to say here, should be a comfy 3 pts for Tudors squad and put them back into the top 10 of table again. half of Mihals roster is out, several others on treatment table. this should NOT be at '+' money. Hellas to win @+110
Genoa/Udine - (good feedback from everyone) line bouncing all over the place. my opinion? sacking Shev was a mistake, what were they expecting? of his 11 games with them: Milan(twice), Juve,Roma,Atal,Lazio + 3 others in top half. sign the guy midseason till '24 and give him just 11 matches? pffft. two youth cloaches declined the job, settled for the 17 year old HC; changed their minds and go out and get some guy from Belgium whom nobody has heard about. and as Aless mentioned, several in their locker room asked to be transferred before the winter session ends on 31st. not good. Udine unbeaten in past 11 meetings and everyone finally released from quarantine last week so after having to start the new year with a nasty atal/juve/lazio grind this should hopefully be much easier for their squad. i dont like the line tho - its barely moved.
*****EDIT: Cagliari/Fior - Viola hit with Covid. Duslan not playing (thats one h*ll of an offer Arsenal tossing on the table), keeping the play but stay away from everything else.
Inter/Venezia - off topic: you know, its still a month away; and the entire planet & media will be all over that PSG-Real matchup. but if I have to pick one R16 to clear out the daily schedule on..... these guys are going to give Klopp a major challenge. last year, Inter were dangerous, this year? theyre simply better, EVERYBODY is finding the net for them. anyways, nothing much to see here, Inter have now conceded just 1 in past 8 domestics, they also lead Serie A in scoring. visitors are 0-0-4 vs the 6 big boys already with a 0-10 goal difference. wouldnt mind taking 'win to nil' but im not paying that kind of juice for that. cant find anything else. Inter put up almost 30 shots vs these guys last nov. PASS.
