A Sports Betting Pick by Gooner
Italy Serie A
Sunday 9th November 2008- Kickoff 15:00
This game is strictly a venue play with both sides strongly having a tendancy to play their best football at home.
Genoa (7th 5-2-3 14:10)
Genoa are on a good run of form, unbeaten in their last five games, and with a perfect 100% home record after five games at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris.
The Rossoblu have started to hit the same sort of form that they'd reach at the end of last season, and now Genoa can start to eye the lucrative top six spots and possible european qualification.
But if that is to be the case, then these are the games that Genoa have to win.
TEam News :
Genoa have good news on the injury front as Greek defender Sokratis Papastaphopoulos will after missing last week’s 2-2 draw with Udinese.
However, the Grifoni will still be without midfield trio Matteo Paro, Omar Milanetto and Francesco Modesto.
Reggina (20th 1-2-7 8:19)
Reggina actually put in a good performance last weekend, only losing to Inter Milan in injury time when they conceded a late goal to lose 2-3.
however, conceding goals has been a concern all season for Reggina, especially away from home as they've let in TWELVE goals in five games, and scored just once thermselves.
Team News :
Reggina have several missing players with defenders Maurizio Lanzaro, Antonio Giosa and Gleison Santos all out along with long-term injury victim Emmanuel Cascione.
Head to Head
These two sides have only met once recently in Serie A play, when they faced each other last season, and once again it was home advantage that told with both team winning their home fixture by a 2-0 scoreline.
