Football Bet of the Day: May Day mayhem in Italy

Parma v Ternana
Tuesday 14:00

Real Betis beat Malaga at the Benito Villamarin last night, but they had to come from behind to do it. And by that stage we'd already lost interest.

A 2-1 home win would be a satisfactory result today, however, as we head across the Med to Italy, where the once-mighty Parma are on the rise again. Luigi Apolloni's men are third in Serie B and will jump up to second if they beat 21st-placed Ternana at home this afternoon.

Parma are unbeaten in 14 at the Ennio Tardini. In that run, they've played - and beaten - all of the other five teams alongside Ternana in the bottom six: 3-1, 2-0, 4-0, 3-0 and 3-0.

They should win again today, but it's the goals markets we've homed in on. Since Luigi Di Canio took charge of Ternana, three-quarters of their league games have gone Over 2.5 Goals (9/12), including each of the most recent six. On the road, the Red and Greens have scored nine times in their last five. Parma should find ways through their leaky defence (Ternana have conceded at least twice in 14/19 away from home this term) but the visitors have goals in them too. One way or another, we fancy this one to reach Over 2.5 Goals.
