Roma need the three points and hope Inter shall fail, otherwise there's no other hope regarding the title. Although they beat Livorno last round, Atalanta look like giving it up somehow, they
don't play like they used to, more relaxed, more complacent. Nevertheless I think the line is exaggerated and Atalants don't deserve a handicap like this. Doni WILL play in the end, and Roma
have Totti and Taddei ruled out for the clash, I say the handicap is too big to be missed. If I remember well the Romans were more or less -1.5 against lower rated sides, how comes they
get this agressive -1.75 now? Motivation? They are interested to win the game not to thrash their opponents, besides Del Neri's men have already managed to put on a very good perfomance against
Milan for instance when they played very well, so I don't think they are so poor as the handicap suggests.

Quagliarella declared they want one more home win before the end of the season which would represent a gift for their fans, so even if Udinese don't have much to play for, I
think it's really useless to believe they might become complacent. The same thing happened last round when they were +0.5 totally undeserved against in-form Empoli and we saw what happened.
Same speculations now when they play Cagliari who are supposed to have more motivation on their side, but in reality I don't think that will do the job for them, they are simply poor on the
road and the hosts should easily take this one.

Milan look back in form after a row of great results, two wins by a big difference against Reggina and poor Livorno, and then a shining victory over Internazionale Milano. The bookies didn't
hesitate to adjust their ratings and here we are getting +1.5 on Napoli at home, which is a big unjustice if you ask me. Although they play for nothing but pride they've always been strong at
home this season and still remember by the way their thrilling clash against Milan from the first half of the season when both sides played very open and Napoli put on a good perfomance in my
view. Milan are not so good nowadays, it's just a good run that they have now but that doesn't make them sure winners when they face mighty Napoli. Having this lovely handicap I think it worths
the risk, don't give much chances to Milan to win by two or more.

Key striker Mutu is out for hosts, nevertheless I think Fiorentina to win is a good bet and worths all the risks. Parma need badly a result, but Fiore need it too or they can say definetely
good-bye to their CL aspirations. From a reason or another I see only one outcome for this match, and that is Fiore to win. Parma simply lack organtization at the back, no wonder they conceded
the most goals in league alongside Livorno, while the goals scored are much less, and Viola play very well against such sides. Ok Mutu is out but they still got Pazzini, Osvaldo, Santana so
it's not so vad, not to mention that Parma have their own worries at this point with Pisanu, Corradi, Morfeo, Bucci and Couto all missing.

I'm gonna back another "un"-motivated team. Although I'm perfectly aware by the fact Juve might not play as they used to, I still believe they can easily beat the most poor side on the road,
thus Catania. If you remember the same strange odds were offered when they played Udinese and they lost the game, don't see why now would be different. Ranieri looks set to start with his best
available players, so we can't talk about resting here, I'm sure there are certain players in their squad who maybe have something to prove, or simply would like to play for the fans and prove
their worth. All in all the quality should prevail, Catania could be needing more the three points but if they were needing the three points 5 rounds ago as well, since nothing changed I see no
reason to miss this offer.
Juventus (-0.75) at 2.02 with Pinnacle, stake 8
Although I've never had any kind for respect for Livorno this season I think people exaggerate too much their weakness, the fact they got several players banned is another good reason, but
their first eleven looks still decent in my view and knowing they will automatically relegate should they fail again I give them decent chances to get a draw at least. I went against Livorno
last round, but I had the odds on my side since they were -0.25 AWAY against Atalanta, but now they get +0.75 at home against Torino who have never been impressive away from home. Torino to win
by two or more is science fiction to me, hence my bet.
Livorno (+0.75) at 1.80 with 188bet, stake 8
To back or not to back, I've been thinking a lot about this bet and decided to pull the trigger in the end. Inter want a show I know that, but they don't play so well recently, in fact I've
noticed a clear downtrend in their play and it's been noticed several weeks ago, maybe months. Inter wouldn't deserve to win the title. I can remember many games when they should have clearly
lost points, and despite playing for nothing I think Siena can create some sort of problems, or cover the spread at least. Also to be noted that several key players/regulars are out for the
Milan based side. Give less than 50% to Inter to win by two or more, good chances for Siena to cover the spread, and maybe even withstand undefeated never knows the pressure is on Inter and
we've seen how they usually deal with it in CL, Siena are Siena but the surprise still could happen.

PS: Sorry for the big number of predictions but it's only due to being only two rounds before the end of the season, so there's plenty of missunderstanding around. I'd have never had 7 plays in
the same league a month ago, never. But the experience from the last round when I was 3-1-1 makes me do it again.
