• Visitors a value bet at 2.021/1

Betfair's Football Superboost!

Cody Gakpo (v Nottingham Forest) is the main man for our Tuesday Superboost with the 8:00pm kick off one of the feature games of the mid-week action seeing a top of the table clash.

Gakpo averages 1.09 shots on target per 90 mins this season and has had at least 1 SOT in 7 out of 11 fixtures this season. Only Mohammed Salah (21) has scored more goals for Liverpool than Gakpo (12) this season for the reds.

We just need him to have a single shot on target for the Superboost to land and the selection has been boosted from 1/21.50 to 1/12.00.

Monza v Fiorentina
Monday 13 January, 19:45

A tough one to take for our pal Tobias in Italy yesterday, as the champions Inter took an early lead at Venezia, but it stayed 1-0, nixing his Asian Handicap bet. As he takes a well-earned break, we'll start our stint with a trip to Italy, as Fiorentina visit rock-bottom Monza.

The hosts have claimed a paltry 10 points from 19 games, and they have lost eight of their last ten top-flight matches, including the last five. Monza never really recovered from losing inspirational coach Raffaelle Palladino to Fiorentina, and tonight they'll have to face the man that took them into Serie A and then kept them there.

Former Italy, Milan and Lazio star Alessandro Nesta took the reins from Palladino, but lasted until December before he was booted by his former Milan bosses Adriano Galliani and Silvio Berlusconi. His replacement Salvatore Bocchetti has no senior experience as a head coach, having been a youth team boss and an assistant at Hellas Verona.

Fiorentina are on a five-match winless run in all competitions, but that run included games against Bologna, Juventus and Napoli. They have actually won four of their last six away matches in the league, and all of those victories were against bottom-half teams.

Monza have won just once in the league all season, and I'm amazed that sixth-placed Fiorentina can be backed at 2.021/1 to win here. With no fresh injury concerns, La Viola are fair favourites.
