A Sports Betting Pick by ROzsolt
Football : Italy : Serie A
Venue: "Stadio Adriatico-Giovanni Cornacchia", Pescara
Sunday 7th October – Kickoff time: 15:00 GMT+1
Pescara
The impact with the Seria A level was harsh on Pescara as they started the season with some poor results, but they seem to have turned things around and are now coming into this match on the back of two consecutive wins.
A superb 86th minute goal from Vladimir Weiss earned Pescara their first Seria A victory in almost two decades as they beat struggling Palermo on their previous home game.
Boosted with that success, Pescara went on and Vladimir Weiss was their hero again scoring the decisive goal against Cagliari to record Pescara’s first away win of the season.
Slovakian striker Vladimir Weiss won’t be there for Pescara this time, a fifth booking of the season against Cagliari rules him out of this game. Coach Stroppa will also be without Cosic, Zanon and Modesto.
Lazio
After a series of poor results Lazio returned home and got back to their winning ways with triumphs over Siena on their previous Seria A game and a 1-0 victory over Maribor in the Europa League that puts them on the lead of their group.
Lazio will now travel to Pescara and will try to avoid another defeat after the humiliating 3-0 loss in Naples. Edinson Cavani scored a hat trick in that match. Nothing announced such a poor result after having won their previous two away games in Serie A against Atalanta and Chievo.
Petkovic will probably stick to his 4-5-1 formation with Miroslav Klose as a lone striker. Klose and Mauri were rested in the midweek game against Maribor, so they should be in excellent shape for this match.
The Betting Verdict
Pescara picked up seven points from their last three games, so they cannot be underestimated anymore. However, the two victories were obtained against two struggling sides, Palermo and Cagliari, but Lazio is unlikely to give away points that easily.
Before the severe loss at San Paolo against Napoli, Lazio recorded three consecutive away wins. Pescara on the other hand lost their first two home games in Seria A against Sampdoria and Inter, conceding 3 goals in each of those games before their 1-0 victory over Palermo.
The Biancocelesti will meet AC Milan and Fiorentina in the next weeks, so picking up three points against newly promoted Pescara is a must for Petkovic’s side.
