Verona v US Cremonese
Monday 17:30 (Live on BT Sport 1)
In Turkey yesterday, Batshuayi blanked as Galatasaray outgunned old rivals Fenerbahce 3-0. Kev's got a week to plot his next move as we take over in Italy.
Rock-bottom Verona are hosting second-bottom Cremonese and we're not sure either defence will hold out under the pressure of a relegation six-pointer.
Verona are yet to keep a clean sheet through 16 games of the Serie A season. At the Stadio Bentegodi, the Mastiffs are W1-D0-L7, but they've been competitive against fellow struggers, beating third-bottom Sampdoria 2-1 and losing 1-2 to fourth-bottom Spezia. With the hosts scoring in 6/8 all told, BTTS has been the right bet in 6/8.
Promoted Cremonese are winless through their first 16 matches of the campaign, but they have managed to draw 7/16. On the road, the Tigers have drawn four and lost four. Crucially for us, they've found the back of the net in 6/8 - and BTTS has been the right bet in the same fraction. Up against Verona's porous defence, we'll take it to land again today.
