Football Bet of the Day: Defences to fail in Verona

Verona and Cremonese are fighting for their places at Italy's top table

Serie A's basement battle could get bloody as the Mastiffs take on the Tigers, says Tobias Gourlay

  • Verona have conceded the most home goals in Serie A

  • BTTS has landed in 6/8 Verona home matches

  • 6/8 Cremonese away games have delivered BTTS


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.
