Coppa Italia QF
While the Serie A season is just heating up, Italy’s biggest clubs head into the Coppa Italia to vie for another silverware and delight their online betting faithful.
The competition is down to the last eight, and the first set of football games pit two European dreamers and two Milan giants in what should be a thrilling midweek for Italian football.
Lazio vs Fiorentina
Meetings between these two have been fairly close over the years, and one doesn’t need to look any further than their recent battle to prove that. The two clubs met in Serie A last month, with the game ending in a 1-1 draw after Fiorentina scored a stoppage-time equaliser.
Lazio, at odds of 1.80, are favoured to win. They have only lost three times in the top flight this campaign and easily won their Cup fixture against Cittadella the last time out. Not to mention that they have scored 11 goals in their last three in all competitions.
However, underdogs they may be, Fiorentina won’t go down without a fight. After all, they are unbeaten in their last seven and have kept four clean sheets in the process.
Playing at home should make the difference for Lazio in this game; and with Ciro Immobile in terrific form, it’s not far-fetched for the Biancocelesti to beat an Asian Handicap -0.50 that pays at 1.81.
AC Milan vs Inter Milan
It’s another chapter of the Derby della Madonnina, and if it’s anything like their fight last October, we’re surely in for a treat!
That game featured five goals, two fightbacks and a last-minute winner from Mauro Icardi that gave Inter a 3-2 win at San Siro.
The two Milan outfits are struggling as they both head into this match at the back of two straight defeats. Inter, particularly, are in a depressing period after going down to the likes of Udinese and Sassuolo and seeing their unbeaten start come to an end.
How Inter’s recent poor run will affect them remains to be seen, though AC Milan can’t get ahead of themselves as they also have a lot of fixing to do on both ends of the pitch.
Both teams will certainly look to use this game as a springboard to return to winning ways, and it’s looking likely that it will be a goal-fest for Icardi and Inter scoring partner Ivan Perisic, as well as for AC Milan’s Suso and Nikola Kalinic. With that said, betting on Goals Over 2.75 @ 2.19 seems the best choice.
