Fiorentina vs Hellas Verona Best Bet
Sun, March 6th, 14:00 (UK Time)
Hellas Verona enter this mouth-watering tie in Florence riding a wave of positivity. Commanding an impressive 2nd place in the form table behind only Napoli, it’s difficult to envisage them not causing problems here for Fiorentina.
Goals are almost a certainty when Hellas Verona come to town. Boasting 23 strikes in their last six outings, the visitors should provide box office entertainment. Giovanni Simeone is set to lead the line with bounding confidence following his hat-trick over Venezia last weekend.
Over 2.5 goals feels like a wise play in Sunday’s match-up. A whopping 92% of Fiorentina’s home matches have hit over 2.5 goals this season. Couple that with the goal-fuelled form in Verona and onlookers in Tuscany could be in for a Sunday treat.
Both sides will see this as an important clash in their quest for European football. Lurking just behind the Stadio Olimpico’s two lodgers, a win will prove invaluable towards any assault on Serie A’s top spots.
Verona and Fiorentina sit third and fourth in Serie A’s over 2.5 goals rankings. A strike rate of 74% and 73% of games should reassure punters that goals are likely. At 1.80 on bet365, the stats suggest there’s some value to be had here.
- Selection: Over 2.5 Goals
- Best Odds: 1.80 (bet365)
- Stakes: 8/10

Venezia vs Sassuolo Best Bet
Sun, March 6th, 14:00 (UK Time)
Three impressive results set the scene for Sassuolo ahead of Sunday’s fixture after an indifferent spell.
A monumental scalp in the heart of the San Siro may well have altered Sassuolo’s season. Before their victorious visit to Inter Milan, it was honours even at home to Roma. Last weekend was another hard-fought battle with Fiorentina, as an injury-time winner sealed the win.
Equipped with seven points snatched from three of Italy’s best, newly-promoted Venezia now offers the Neroverdi their next task. From analysing the numbers behind the goals markets, a Sassuolo-inspired goals angle appeals for Serie A backers.
Venezia have conceded multiple strikes in 8 of 13 home fixtures. Sassuolo, on the other hand, offer a healthy knack of scoring 2+ in 9 of 13 on their travels.
When visited by top-half opposition, the regularity of Venezia conceding at least two goals ramps up slightly. From nine games played, the hosts have fallen victim to two or more goals on six occasions.
The 1.83 for Sassuolo to muscle in on the scoresheet more than once is an attractive proposition. With Domenico Berardi and Gianluca Scamacca fit and available, don’t be surprised if they threaten to bank profits between themselves.
- Selection: Sassuolo 2+ Goals
- Best Odds: 1.83 (bet365)
- Stakes: 8/10
Napoli vs AC Milan Best Bet
Sun, March 6th, 19:45 (UK Time)
Two sides who currently lock horns at the top of Serie A meet at the Diego Maradona Stadium. In what is now a three-horse title race with Inter Milan, Sunday’s fixture is one of vast importance.
Juventus’ resurgence has them very much on the periphery seven points adrift, suggesting this trio cannot afford to stutter.
The reverse December fixture may offer an insight into how this important match-up will pan out. A tight, nervy affair, with either side hoping to pick off the opposition when presented the opportunity.
Banking on a low-scoring game has laid the foundations for the following selection. Both sides will arrive with an aim of not conceding first which may encourage a tense opening. The 2.88 at SkyBet for there to be no goals in the first half is a price I can side with.
Napoli boasts the lowest goals conceded average in the first half with 0.30 this season. Milan’s 0.56 conceded average is the 8th best in Serie A, but they should set up to be compact and resolute.
Tied on 57 points each with just goal difference separating the pair, let’s hope for a tentative initial 45-minutes.
- Selection: Under 0.5 first half goals
- Best Odds: 2.88 (SkyBet)
- Stakes: 6/10
