VERONA v LECCE – Click here to bet
Verona are currently second from bottom of the log with just 2 wins in their opening 12 matches. They are on a terrible run of 5 successive defeats and they have only taken 2 points from the last 30 they have played for.
Last time out they lost 1-0 away to Genoa and prior to that lost 3-1 at home to Monza. They have only won once at home in 5 attempts this season and in those 5 matches have only managed to score 4 goals while conceding 8.
Lecce are currently 13th on the log, but also in poor form and without a win in their last 7 starts which have included 3 draws and 4 losses. They did get a solid 2-2 draw at home to AC Milan last time out and their last away game was a 2-1 defeat to AS Roma. Lecce have yet to win on the road in 5 attempts this season.
Head-to-Head
Verona won this fixture 2-0 last season and they did the double over Lecce winning 1-0 on the road.
Both of these teams are struggling and the draw is certainly tempting at 2/1, but looking at last season’s results it is enough to have me siding with the home team here at 33/20.
Suggested Bet: Verona win at 33/20
BOLOGNA v TORINO – Click here to bet
Bologna are currently 8th on the log and they have only lost once in their last 10 starts, that came last time out away at Fiorentina when they went down 2-1, but they have been very strong at home this season with 4 wins, a draw and a loss in their 6 matches. They have won their last 3 home games in succession.
Torino are 11th on the table, but on the up having taken 7 points from the last 9 they have played for. They drew 1-1 at Monza last time out and prior to that had successive victories at home to Sassuolo and away to Lecce.
They have played 6 matches on the road this season winning 2, drawing 1 and losing 3. Diving a bit deeper into the goal stats 50% of Bologna home matches have delivered profits for over 2.5 goal backers and only 2 of the 6 Torino away matches have reached the 3 goal mark.
Head-to-Head
Bologna won this fixture 2-1 last season and Torino won the reverse 1-0 at home.
Bologna have been impressive at home this season and I am backing them to collect another 3 points.
Suggested Bet: Bologna win at 13/10
