Football Bet of the Day: Sorcerers to produce some magic in Italy

Even Alessandro Nesta has been unable to stop Perugia leaking goals

"Four of Perugia's last six away games, including each of the last three, have delivered Over 2.5 Goals"

Back Over 2.5 Goals @ 2.0421/20 in Benevento v Perugia

Tobias Gourlay's hoping to conjure up a winner in Benevento this afternoon

As Tammi Terrell once told Marvin Gaye, Ural I need to get by. The Bumble Bees stung Lokomotiv on their own patch in Moscow yesterday, and their come-from-behind 2-1 win landed our BTTS bet at a plump price.

Today we're treating ourselves with a trip to southern Italy. Eighth plays ninth in Serie B this afternoon and we fancy there could be a few goals. Sent down from Serie A last season, Benevento have been on a mission to entertain their fans this term. Only one other ground has seen more goals than the Sorcerers' Stadio Ciro Vigorito (21 in six games). Individually, 5/6 matches have reached Over 2.5 Goals.

Cristian Bucchi's hosts have scored in all six of those matches and managed just a couple of clean sheets at the other end. The trends around visiting Perugia are just as impressive: both teams have scored on all six of the Griffins' road trips so far. And that's despite having Alessandro Nesta as coach. Four of the six, including each of the last three, have delivered Over 2.5 Goals and, at an odds-against price, that's our bet of the day.
