It may have taken thirty two games, but Inter Milan's unbeaten run in Serie A has finally been ended. Roma's victory 3-1 at the San Siro on Wednesday afternoon was an important milestone, but it makes no material difference to the title race. Inter still lead by 13 points and almost all bookmakers have stopped taking bets on them lifting the Scudetto. PinnacleSports.com however, will continue to offer up to 60% better Asian Handicap odds on the remaining Serie 'A' matches.
Invincible Inter Brought Back Down to Earth
Inter Milan finally lost a league game in midweek, but it shouldn't have come as a huge surprise. The Nerazzurri have looked jaded in recent weeks drawing their two previous games, in the absence of several key players. It is inconceivable that they would actually fail to fall over the line in their six remaining games, but coach, Roberto Mancini, will want to tie things up as soon as possible, starting at Siena on Sunday.
In his first season in charge of the Bianconeri, Mario Beretta's only realistic target has been survival, to which end Siena are almost safe. However, Beretta will be worried about the lack of fire-power, failing to score in five of their last nine games. He will also be bracing himself for a backlash from Inter following their defeat by Roma. PinnacleSports.com price the Champions in waiting 2.06 (-0.5 & -1) with Siena 1.87 (+0.5 & +1)
Udinese & Reggina Fight Out Contrasting Agendas
Udinese got a taste of Champions League football last season for the first time in the club's history. It is extremely unlikely that the Zebrette (Little Zebras) will return to that competition next term, but they have realistic ambitions of gaining a UEFA Cup place. On Saturday they travel to Reggina's Oreste Granillo Stadium, searching for the three points that could take them into seventh and make that a reality.
Reggina's motivation is to avoid relegation, but their form this season is almost identical to Udinese. If you discount the Calabrians 11 point deduction from the match-fixing scandal, then they would be just a single point behind the visitors. Reggina recorded their first home win from seven attempts in a crucial midweek relegation scrap against Messina, and coach, Walter Mazzarri will be looking for a similar performance here. His side are unbeaten in their last five meetings of the sides and PinnacleSports.com rate Reggina 2.07 (-0.5) with Udinese 1.862 (+0.5).
It must hurt Fiorentina fans to know that without the 15 handicap from Calciopoli, their results would have been enough to see them third in Serie A. On Sunday they visit the side that actually occupy that position, and who will be playing in the Champions League instead. Lazio have benefited from the upheaval in the Italian top flight, but have also been playing attractive football. The Eagles are unbeaten in fifteen games, but have drawn their last two, including an ill-tempered game in Roma against Chievo on Wednesday, when they ended the goalless draw with just nine men.
This home game against La Viola is likely to be another feisty affair, though the away side have the greatest need of the points. Fiorentina are currently in seventh position, bringing with it the reward of UEFA Cup football. They have already beaten Lazio this season, but there are plenty of sides ready to capitalize on any slip ups. PinnacleSports.com price Lazio 2.19 (0/scratch & -0.5) with Fiorentina 1.775 (0/scratch & +0.5).
