serie B 27Sept 2008

Cittadella – Empoli 2(0:0)AH @1.65 188Bet 8/10


Empoli didn’t play very well in this first part of championship but they have only 1 point less than the Italian serie B leaders. In the last round they overcame Modena for 3-1 without problems, to be honest Mantova had some players out, showing a good offensive organization and also a strong defensive sector.
Cittadella, on the other hand, had proble to score only a single goal until now but it was an heavy goal because it has permitted to win against Treviso in the last away from home match. At the same time Cittadella showed to have a good defensive line, only a goal suffered until now.
The probable lines up could be

CITTADELLA
(4-4-2): Zotti; Manucci, Cherubin, Pesoli, Mar¬chesan; Carteri, Musso, Iori, Oliveira; Rossi, Meggiorini.

EMPOLI
(4-2-3-1): Bassi; Marzoratti, Vargas, Piccolo, Tosto; Moro, Lodi; Buscé, Vannucchi, Pasquato; Corvia.

If Empoli wil play as against Modena, Cittadella don’t have any chance for this match. I want to suggest an AW with AH level ball

Livorno – Grosseto 1(0:1) Handicap @3.6 Bet365 6/10

Livorno has still a 0 in the home win column and this match against Grosseto is good to delet this zero. Livorno had three draw in a row and, for a team that want to grab the promotion, these are too many match without a win. This team has good players above all in the offensive line where they can count on Diamanti and Tavano, two very strng men that could play easily in the Serie A.
Grosseto didn’t start bad this season but they strength is their own stadium not the away from home match, the defeat for 4-0 against SAssuolo a newcomers.
Before the beginning of this season Livorno was indicated as the probable winnin of the championship, now they have to show that they can still do that. I think that the initial difficult for all the relegated team in this serie B have been overcame and from now on Livorno must start to win and also with good match. These are the probable lines up:
Livorno : (4-3-2-1): De Lu¬cia; Rosi, Grandoni, Miglionico, Rizza; Pulzetti, A. Filippini, Can¬dreva; Diamanti, Tavano; Danilevicius
Grosseto : (4-4-2): Acerbis; Freddi, Por¬chia, Stendardo, Abruzzese; Gessa, Valeri, Cordova, Consonni; Sforzini, Pichlmann.
I think that the home win is the basis for my bet but I want to suggest an HW(0:1) and Over here

Modena – Treviso 1(0:0.25)AH 1.89 Pinnacle 8/10

Modena is now in a must win situation, no win until now they are the bottom rock of this serie B table. In the last away from home defeat against Empoli all their actual problems have been highlighted, a defensive sector too weak to support the team in this league, for this match it is probable the presence in the initial line up for theyouung players Ricchi to try to cover the right site.
Zoratto (Modena’s coach) have to solva, another time, some line up problems due the absence of Bruno and Cardone so in the attack line it is probable the presence of another young man (Stanco) while in the middle of the field Biabiany, Pinardi and Catellani should be confirmed.
For Treviso the season is became difficult after the 4 points of penality and after having started in good way the season they seem to have lost the right way, two defeat in a row against Frosinone and at home against Cittadella)

These are the probable lines up:

( 4- 2- 3- 1): Frez¬zolini; Artipoli, Gozzi, Perna, Gemiti; Bolano, Troiano; Catel¬lani, Pinardi, Biabiany; Stanco.
( 4- 3- 2- 1): Cor¬daz; Baccin, Pianu, Dal Canto, Smit; Gissi, Moro, Scaglia; Quadrini, Missiroli; Piovaccari.

I think that this match will finish with an home win or with a draw so I want to risk half of my stake with an home win (0:0.25)AH

Salernitana – Pisa 1 @ 1.93 Pinnacle 8/10

Salernitana lost at home against Triestina in the last round but they played a discrete match brushing the goal more than one and only a defensive mistake put the win in the Triestina hands.
Now in the Salernitana’s team there are a huge motivation to cancel this false step almost against a Pisa that, on the contrary, is seemed not in good form in the last home defeat against Vicenza.
For this match the presence of the strong Soligo should be sure while the other important player Pestrin will be out for sure.
Pisa didn’t start the season in the better way and for sure this team is completely different form the last year team that was able to win 9 match in a row in the away from home matches.
For this match Masiero, Garibaldi are still out, Raimoni is doubtful while Alvarez after having tried in the past days seem to be out.

I think that Salernitana can and have more stimulus than Pisa to win the match so 1 is my idea

Triestina – Mantova 1(0:0)AH @1.85 Bet365 6/10

Triestina started this season without huge ambitions but with a simple target, to collect as more points as possible and to try to disturb all the big of this championship and then at the end of the season they will see where they will be.
Now after 5 rounds in the Italian Serie b triestina has the second place in this championship and theya re still without defeat. The strength of this team is in the midfield that is very able to stop their opponent and restart in the counter attack action in very efficiently way.

Mantova is in the high position of the table and they are playing a good football. For this match the coach seems to have intention to give a little bit of rest to some players considering that after this match Mantova have to play another two times against Bari and Vicenza in the next week.

I think that an Home win with Ah is a good choice here.
