Sampdoria 3-2 Juventus
For quite a while, it seemed inevitable for Juventus to retake their spot at the top of the football betting pyramid.
However, a shocking result at Sampdoria proves just how unpredictable this season has become for the clubs at the top. The live betting shocker began with the Old Lady having difficulties in finding the back of the net.
Juan Cuadrado was the standout failure among the underperforming Juve players as they fail to make the most of their scoring opportunities. Sami Khedira, Gonzalo Higuain and Mario Mandzukic all had their time with the ball but failed to make the most out of it.
What set the game in stone for the hosts was Daniel Zapata’s header off a loose lob. Juve’s defence collapsed after the wild header, allowing room for Lucas Torreira and Gianmarco Ferrari to sneak in two goals for a three-goal cushion.
Juve got back into the game after Douglas Costa won a spot-kick for Higuain to convert. Paulo Dybala made a beautiful goal in the 94th minute, but it was too little, too late.
The Juve loss means Napoli get to keep their top slot, thanks to a 2-1 over Milan at home. Gianluigi Donnarumma’s heroics in between the sticks could not help a leaky Milan defence stop the Ciucciarelli.
Inter also made the most out of Sampdoria’s win. They leapfrogged over the defending Serie A champions after holding Atalanta down to a 2-0 win at home. Mauro Icardi is doing his best to make himself beloved by the black and blue side of Milan.
The Rome Derby also gave interesting moments. Roma had to wait until the second half to score goals against Lazio, but their perseverance got them the three points.
With the way the games have been, it’s not surprising to see the top six pulling away from the rest of the pack. If this continues, we will see a rollercoaster end to the season!
