Serie A Online Betting Preview - Matchday 36 (May 3-4)
It may just be sour grapes, but Inter Milan president, Massimo Moratti, claimed this week that Sunday’s Milan Derby is bigger than the Champions League final. Certainly, the stakes couldn’t be higher for both clubs. Inter win and they claim the title, Milan lose and they risk failing to make next season’s Champions League. Bet on this crunch game at PinnacleSports.com, and get up to 60% better Serie A online betting odds.
Derby Della Madonnina Comes at Crucial Time
The Madonnina – statue of Virgin Mary - is one of the main tourist sights in Milan, but on Sunday the city’s eyes will be on events at the San Siro, where the Derby game has rarely had such importance. Inter’s six point lead at the top of Serie A, with three games remaining, puts the reigning league champions in a strong enough position that a win here isn’t essential to their title defence. However, the Nerazzurri would land a symbolic blow to claim the Scudetto at their neighbours’ expense, particularly as it would also severely damage Milan’s Champions League pretensions.
It is probably fair to say that Inter Milan have been toiling in recent weeks, despite producing four straight league wins. Solid evidence was given in their goalless home draw at the San Siro with Lazio in the Coppa Italia semi-final first leg on April 16th. Roberto Mancini started with teenager Mario Balotelli last weekend, but despite the absence of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, may decide not to risk the inexperienced Balotelli in such a volatile game. Carlo Ancelotti may also go for age of youth, sticking with 34 year old Pipo Inzaghi after his hat-trick last weekend at Livorno. The Nerazzurri have won the last three Milan Derbies but PinnacleSports.com price AC Milan favourites 1.719 (0/scratch)* with Inter Milan 2.290 (0/scratch)* – an Asian Handicap priced to less than 102%.
Roma Cling On to Slim Chance of Overturning Inter
Roma coach, Luca Spalletti, must feel like he has been chasing Inter Milan’s shadow for the majority of the season, but with only three games remaining, and a six point deficit to bridge, Spalletti must keep chasing. It is unlikely that Inter will fail to win any of their remaining games, but however small that chance, it should be enough to keep the Giallorossi at the top of their game. Roma visit Sampdoria on Sunday looking to keep their slim title hopes alive, but Sampa have a strong motivation of their own.
The Blucerchiati are only four points off Fiorentina in the fourth Champions League spot, which isn’t an insurmountable gap, but with some two tough more tough fixtures remaining, a win on Sunday at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris is essential. Sampdoria have lost just once at home this season and their European cause was helped last weekend when they earned a 2-2 draw at Fiorentina with a stoppage time equaliser. In favour of the Romans, they have won the last three league meetings of the clubs, as well as eliminating Sampa from the Coppa Italia in January. PinnacleSports.com cannot separate the sides on their Asian Handicap pricing Roma 1.990 (0/scratch)* with Sampdoria 1.935 (0/scratch)*.
