Italian Serie A
2008-05-04 - Siena vs Juventus F.C
A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser
Analysis:Juventus will be gunning for their fifth win in a row when they travel to face Siena at the Stadio Franchi with the host having failed to register a win in their last five matches.
Siena are currently in 15th spot with 39 points and that should be just enough to see them play in Serie A for another season. Since the return of Coach Mario Beretta they have had a fruitful season and continued their famous draw streak when they held Napoli to a draw last weekend. In their last five games they managed four draws and lost just once.
Juventus on the other hand are trying to push for second spot and have won their last four games in a row now. Even though assured of Champions League football next season, their target now is to finish season and gain automatic entry to the Champions League. As it is they are five points behind Roma and ten points behind Inter so that is out of the question to finish as Champions.
Siena will miss the services of Valerio Bertotto who is injured, and Manuel Coppola who will serve a suspension for this match. Luca Rossettini will come into the side while Juventus-owned Paolo De Ceglie will face the club that currently owns him here. Daniele Galloppa will start in midfield. Tomas Locatelli, is likely to form a three man attack with Mario Frick and Massimo Maccarone.
Juventus are missing the likes of Vincenzo Iaquinta as well as Jorge Andrade. Jonathan Zebina could start this match instead of Zlatan Grygera. Claudio Ranieri will keep the midfield so the attack will comprise the likes of Alessandro Del Piero and David Trezeguet. Between the two of them they have scored a massive 37 goals making them the top Serie A partnership this season. The player to watch out for will definitely be Alessandro Del Piero who is hoping his good form will earn him a place in the Italy squad come Euro 2008.
Take Juventus to win here and give the 1 ball here.
Cheers and good luck,
