Posted on 6:45 AM by Lionel Messi








As early final can be labeled the quarter final first leg Coppa Italia game between the rival teams of Juventus and Roma which is scheduled tonight at 19:45 GTM. Juventus reached this stage after a win over Catania while Roma had to beat Lazio on the local derby.

Last time the teams played against each other they drew 1-1 (13 Nov 2010) while Juventus hasn’t celebrated a home victory since January 2008. The Over / Under 2.5 Goals bet is divided evenly as at the last 18 games – for all tournaments – 9 times the score was over and 9 times under. However, given the fact that Juventus will try to secure firstly a home victory and a safe score most likely the score should be 1-0, 2-0 or 2-1. The betting odds for Juventus’ home victory is at 5/4(2.25), for the draw at 11/5(3.20) while Roma’s away win is at 9/4(3.25). The Over / Under betting odds are the same at 9/10 (1.90). The most popular betting score is the 1-1 (5/1 – 6.00) followed by the 1-0 (15/2 – 8.50) and then by the 2-1 (8/1 – 9.00) while the 0-0, 0-1 and the 2-0 share the same odds of 10/1 (11.00). Our betting tip for this game is Juventus to win by 2-0.

At the same time, Ajax and Breda will play for the Dutch Cup quarter finals. Ajax reached this stage after a home victory over Alkmaar while Breda beat Telstar on away fixture.

Certainly Ajax is strong favorite for this fixture, something that is reflected to the online betting sites as Ajax win is offered low at 2/9 – 1.22, the draw at 5/1 – 6.00 while Breda’s away victory is offered at 11/1 – 12.00. The Over 2.5 Goals is offered slightly above the home win while better odds we get on the Halftime / Fulltime bet of 1/1 which is offered at 14/6 – 1.66. Betting picks that worth the risk are
