late start.... just tossing up what sent.
last big card coming up this wknd, and with a few big futures almost done makes it easier to approach.
Serie A: 5 rounds left, time of year to start being mindful of table status.
and dont forget, the motivation of finishing in the top half of table is a hefty bonus for the players on all those clubs. so theres still a LOT to play for.
funny how the scheduling came out, bunch of 'circled' matches at beginning of season fell on this Round due to major trends. we'll see how these unfold.
Hellas/Spezia - Hellas spirralling, lost 7 of past 8 but if take a closer look, practically all were vs top half; and like last few years, they beat up on newbies. Spezia suddenly in a dogfight for survival and have teh misfortune of a schedule having to play their last 5 opponents whom all have something to play for. and theyve been brutal on the road this year, 18 of their 21 roadies have seen 3+ goals. and theyve conceded 2+ in 8 of past 9. Hellas TT O1.5 @+106, Hellas/Spezia O2.5 @-115
Crotone/Inter - Crotone mathematically kept their season alive last wknd, the only way they can survive is to win their remaining matches. problem with that is Inter can clinch the Scudetto this wknd if Atalanta drops pts, and we need 4 more for that future. and since they go first this wknd, thats bad news for Crotone and their leaky defense whom are getting closer to that record. more bad news? Luk just stated he wants to catch CR7. and Inter won reverse fixture 6-2 & the fact that Conte is sending out his best starting 11 speaks for itself. take a shot at the O3.5 @-105, both halves O1.5 @+220
****EDIT, i wary of taking the sides here now. Inters flight delayed, any change in "routine" so close to start time never bodes well. and a lot more drama around after their owner finally decided to step foot into italy.
Milan/Benevento - tricky one. Milan fell out of the CL slot, Benev fell into relegation. AC playing awful of late but Pioli FINALLY has a full strength side. PASS. no value in these lines.

Sunday:
Lazio/Genoa - Inzaghis guys back in the CL hunt; and when you look at their schedule, they actually might have a pretty decent shot at it when comparing it to whom Juve & Milan still have to play. and theyre in great form of late with Cirro finding the the net in 3 straight. but Genoa is in dogfight down there, makes this one tricky. i dont like these prices. and tho its a wee-bit too juiced for thy liking, this is the early one, and those have been goalfests all year and since the btts has hit in 9 of past 10 H2H's ill take a shot at the btts + O2.5 @+124
