Italian Serie A
2010-05-16 - Chievo vs A.S Roma
A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser
Analysis:This will be the second time in the space of three years that A.S Roma needs to win this match and then hope for Inter Milan to drop points in their match in order to win the Scudetto. That was the same situation that happened back in 2007/2008 season as well.
Inter three their huge lead and now both sides faces away ties against unfancied opponents and should in paper win their games.
This time Roma travel to Chievo while Inter visit Siena on the final day of the season. Two years ago, Roma famously topped Serie A for an hour on the final day, as they led Catania and Inter Milan toiled in the rain in Parma, but Zlatan Ibrahimovic stepped off the Tardini bench and broke Roma's hearts.
Defender Juan is optimistic his side can prevail and come out tops unlike two season ago.
However, one clear difference between two seasons ago and now is that Catania and Parma had something to play for, Siena and Chievo do not have anything to fight for anymore now. And Roma has the tougher match to play on paper.
While Siena are relegated, Chievo are mid-table, and with a formidable record against the top sides to maintain. Only last weekend Chievo proved they won't be lying down for anyone when they pushed Inter to the edge at San Siro, fighting back from 4-1 down to finish 4-3. Despite the defeat they fought bravely.
Roma faces an uphill task as they need to beat Chievo and hope Inter draw or loses their match. The defeat against Sampdoria two weeks ago going down 2-1 was the turning point of their season. Now they can only hope for a miracle.
As for the team news, Chievo's Davide Mandelli, Santiago Morero, Giampiero Pinzi and Yonese Hanine are injured, while for Roma Alexander Doni is on the treatment table, whilst John Arne Riise is suspended.
Take A.S Roma to win here and give the 1 1/4 ball here.
Cheers and good luck,
