Brescia v Parma
Monday 12 December, 19:30
Frosinone made some big chances against Pisa last night, but couldn't quite find a winner in a goalless draw. We still made a profit for the week, and while our chum Tobias runs around completing his Christmas preparations, we'll keep hold of the FBOTD baton.
We'll stay in Italy, because Brescia are up against Parma in Serie B, and I think the hosts can pick up at least a point.
Parma were relegated from Serie A a couple of seasons ago, and they only finished 12th in the second tier last term. This time around they are eighth, and they aren't in great form. Fabio Pecchia's side has managed just two wins in the last seven games, and they have only won once on the road all season. Their last four away games have seen them lose at Sudtirol and Palermo and draw at Pisa and Cagliari.
Brescia are another former Serie A dweller, and they are a point and two places above tonight's opponents. They have only lost one of their last seven, and at home they have lost just once this term.
I fancy Brescia to avoid defeat tonight, and I don't think we'll see many goals, so I'll dip into the Sportsbook's Bet Builder. We can back Brescia/Draw Double Chance, Under 3.5 Goals and Under 1.5 First Half Goals at 2.01101/100. None of Brescia's home games have featured more than three goals this term, and only two of their league games all season have contained four goals or more. Only one of Parma's last ten league outings have seen an Over 3.5 Goals bet land.
In terms of first halves, there have been two goals or more in the first half in just one of Parma's last ten league games, and that's true of just three of Brescia's last ten.
