Coppa Italia QF
After seeing Inter Milan fall to their bitter rivals in the Coppa Italia, online betting heavyweights Napoli and Juventus will hope to avoid a similar fate when they play their quarterfinal football games this midweek.
Sure enough, betting odds are swinging in their favour; however, Atalanta and Torino will also be motivated to pull off an upset and shock Italian football as they chase for a Europa League spot.
Napoli vs Atalanta
Napoli had a hard time against Crotone last Saturday, but that doesn’t mean they are slowing down anytime soon. After all, they currently lead the Italian top flight with a three-game winning streak to boast.
Of course, Coppa Italia is a different story and anything can happen—just look at last week’s Milan Derby for example. Nonetheless, it should be noted that this is an Atalanta team that recently fell to Serie A strugglers Cagliari.
Whether in-form scorer Marek Hamsik will start remains to be seen, though it shouldn’t be an issue for the Partenopei that still have top-quality players like Lorenzo Insigne, Jose Callejon and Dries Mertens.
Their first meeting last August ended 3-1 in favour of Napoli, and all signs point that this one won’t be much different. If you’re punting, Napoli on Asian Handicap -1.25 @ 2.16 is an easy choice to make.
Juventus vs Torino
Reigning Cup champions Juventus head into this match at the back of a nine-game unbeaten run in all competitions, the latest a 3-1 drubbing of Hellas Verona.
Paulo Dybala’s return to scoring form couldn’t also come at a better time for the Bianconeri as they prepare to pile more misery on derby rivals Torino, who they thrashed with four unanswered goals a little over three months ago.
There’s no doubt Torino have a fighting chance considering that they beat Roma to book their ticket to this stage. However, back-to-back league draws with the likes of SPAL and Genoa make their current form questionable.
With all these in mind, it’s not far-fetched for Juve to beat an Asian Handicap -1.25 that pays at 1.94.
