A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser

Match Preview :

Monday Night Football comes from Stadio Artemio Franchi as Siena continue to fight for their Serie A survival while Lazio will be eager to reclaim their third spot after being taken over by AC Milan and tied on 44 points but separated by goal difference.

Siena could not reproduced the same form that saw them beat Inter Milan away but instead had to settle for a draw against Bologna in their last clash. Nevertheless Beppe Iachini was happy with the draw as they were somewhat fortunate to come away with a point.

After the weekend's matches Siena remained botom with 18 points and needs to win to draw level with Pescara on 21 points. And even though they lost to Lazio 2-1 at the Stadio Olimpico back in September, they have not lost to Lazio here in almost seven years so they will be hoping that record continues tonight.

Meanwhile Lazio seems to have lost any hoping of winning the Scudetto let alone chase Napoli after only managing a draw in their last match. Suffice to say that a win would have kept their title hopes alive whilst putting pressure on Napoli in second place. Instead lapse of concentration saw Lazio conceded with just three minutes of the match remaining.

The good news for Petrovic heading into this match is that Andre Dias, Ogenyi Onazi, Alvaro Gonzalez and Senad Lulic have all signed contract extensions.

For the record, last season Siena handed Lazio a beating when they thrashed them 4-0 at this stadium so Lazio will not want a similar result tonight. However, Lazio have only managed to record one Serie A victory here in the last eight attempts when they won in April 2006 in a five goal thriller. They lost five, and drew twice.

Possible lineups

Siena : Pegolo; Teixeira, Terlizzi, Felipe; Angelo, Vergassola, Della Rocca, Rubin; Rosina, Sestu; Emeghara

SS Lazio : Marchetti; Konko, Biava, Dias, Radu; Ledesma; Candreva, Gonzalez, Hernanes, Mauri; Floccari
