SAN SIRO THRILLER IN PROSPECT !

ITALY SERIE A

MILAN -CAGLIARI

I relegated these two this morning, calling this a Serie B clash in the newsletter !

This should be entertaining, Milan were very unlucky to lose the derby game with Inter last week and will be ultra keen to bounce back today, however, that might not be so easy.

Cagliari have been on a great run, especially on the road and currently sit just outside the Champions League places. Since late November they have played five very tough away games, drawing at Napoli and Inter, winning at Juve and Lazio (4-1) and losing 3-2 at Roma. The loss was incredibly unfortunate, they led until late and missed a number of great chances. It is obvious that they will take the game to anyone and they seem ideally suited to playing away and hitting teams with their pace. Cagliari have every chance to get something from this game and it is hard not to see them pinching a goal or two.

Last two meetings here have each produced four goals, so a split stake bet on the visitors and "over" 3.5 goals, which would have collected in 4 of their last 5 away starts, looks the way to go. Added bonus with the "over" bet, is that if Milan are on a going day, then they are quite capable of scoring four against anyone in this league. Kaka remains out, but Pato and Beckham return.

5 points Cagliari +1 ball 1.88 asian line

5 points "over" 3.5 goals 3.45 + exchanges.... a little 3.50 currently available.

Back later.
