Italian Serie A
2012-09-01 - Torino vs Pescara
A Sports Betting Pick by Mercurio
Football : Italy : Serie A
Saturday, 1st September 2012 - Kickoff 18:00
At the municipal stadium in Turin we will see an interesting game between two teams last season were in Serie B.
Torino has a very interesting project, a president very attached to the team and young footballer very interesting.
Pescara seems to have decided early this summer that their presence in Serie A will be very quikc (one season), the cost of this league are not supportable by the company.
Torino
The “granata” are ready to start them season at home this year. The 1st match was so interesting to understand how the team can do in this Serie A.
Against Siena so many chances for Torino but without goals. The best part of this team is for sure the defense: Angelo Ogbonna was in Italian representative during Euro 2012.
Alessio Cerci is ready for first match with the new shirt, the midfielder is not in top form and should start on the bench. The coach Ventura will play from 1st minute with Santana and Stevanovic on the wings.
All players are at disposition of coach, so he has many choices, but should confirm the eleven seen in Siena. Maybe a surprise in attack, in fact the partner of Bianchi will be Sansone in the place of Meggiorini. Market: arriving Pasquale and Barreto from Udinese and Birsa from Genoa.
Possible Torino line-up :
Gillet, Darmian, Glik, Ogbonna, Masiello, Brighi, Gazzi, Santana, Meggiorini, Bianchi, Stevanovic
Pescara
The team of miracles is only a distant memory.
Pescara who won the Serie B just 3 months ago has been dismissed. Coach Zeman escaped to Rome and the best players of last season have done the same. I do not think the new arrivals in Pescara have the potential to repeat the same football of season before.
Mr. Stroppa should confirm the same 11 players that started against Inter Milan, in fact Terlizzi is still not out of condition and ready to play in the middle of difence.
Forward Jonathas is in run-off with Abbruscato and with the Croatian Vukusic, near one of theme we will see Weiss and Caprari on the wings. Market: Modesto from Parma and maybe Foggia from SS Lazio.
Possible Pescara line-up :
Perin, Zanon, Romagnoli, Capuano, Balzano, Quintero, Colucci, Cascione, Weiss, Jonathas, Caprari
The Betting Verdict
For me is an important match for Torino FC, the supporters of the team most loved in Turin (they are more than Juventus there) are more frustrated for last years up and down between Serie A and Serie B.
This year they want to survive teir first season back in Serie A, and the match against Pescara is against team with the same objective.
I think that both sides will play to win
