Italian Serie A
2012-11-11 - AC Parma vs Siena
A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser
Match Preview :
Parma who in their last five games have yet to draw a match, welcomes bottom club Siena who managed to end their winless run of matches last weekend.
The home side Parma managed three straight wins before they were surprisingly beaten by Pescara in their last match. Roberto Donadoni was clearly unhappy at his team's poor performance and will expect them to bounce back with a win when they host Siena for this clash.
Despite the defeat, Parma still kept their position in the top half of the table. They are one of the three teams with 15 points in the standings so they will be desperate to go ahead with all three points which will see them go to 18 points.
The likes of Milan, Udinese and Cagliari are all trailing Parma as they are with 14 points each.
Meanwhile Siena showed they can get the win when they are under pressure and that kept Coach Serse Cosmi his job for yet another week. That win was their first and one has to go back all the way to 27 September for their previous win.
That was Siena's third win of the season as well. The visitors will be hoping that win will have motivated them and be the start of good things to come as they try to escape from the relegation zone.
Presently Siena are rock bottom of Serie A with just 6 points, due to a 6 point penalty imposed by the Italian Federation. But Siena are also just three points away from safety.
