Italian Serie A
2013-05-05 - Genoa vs Pescara
A Sports Betting Pick by Mercurio
Football : Italy : Serie A
Sunday 5th May 2013 - Kickoff 15:00
Match Introduction
The final matches of leagues around the world has always been more predictable.
Pescara are bottom of the table and will be relegated from Serie A, and as I said before December in my preview : Pescara is not good enough to play on par against the other teams.
Now Pescara play against Genoa which has very strong motivations and must win necessarily and hope that Palermo will not do the same against Juventus.
Genoa (18th)
Season 7-11-16 34:51 32 points
Portanova returns to the center of the rearguard, as coach mr. Ballardini could return to a 4-3-1-2 formation - sacrificing Moretti.
In midfield could be confirmed Rigoni, in fact Kucka worked at part with Ferronetti, Rossi and Olivera; recovery training for Borriello because of low back pain, but the forward does not care and will play.
Finally Bertolacci could start, playing behind Borriello and Floro Flores.
Genoa possible line-up (4-3-1-2) :
Granqvist, Manfredini, Portanova, Antonelli,
Rigoni, Matuzalem, Vargas,
Bertolacci,
Floro Flores, Borriello
Pescara (20th)
Season 6-4-24 25:70 22 points
On Wednesday Caprari was operated on the shoulder, while Cosic is out with discomfort in the ankle.
Difficult for the injured D'Agostino, Weiss, Quintero and Kroldrup to recover in time.
Lastly, on Sunday should find a jersey holder Perin and Cascione.
Pescara possible line-up (4-2-3-1) :
Zauri, Capuano, Bocchetti, Balzano,
Togni, Rizzo,
Sculli, Cascione, Di Francesco,
Sforzini
The betting verdict
Different motivations in the field : Genoa can not miss this 3 points and there are all conditions to get it. I think also that the Pescara have not motivation to contrast them.
Important to remember that the last Genoas’ flag Peppe Sculli (also grandson of a famous mafia boss) is now playing in Pescara, he is also a charismatic man and all players have him like a guru.
So I think he will not give much motivation in this match. This week I put all my budget on this match with all handicaps:
