Italian Serie A
2009-05-02 - Bologna vs Reggina
A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser
Analysis:This is the battle at the bottom end of the table where it hots up where the relegation is concerned. The visitors Reggina enters this match bottom of the table with just 24 points,while Bologna are five points away and are a point away from safety.
These two sides would want to win here as they know that teams such as Torino and Lecce are facing tough opponents such as Fiorentina and Juventus respectively. Therefore the winners of this game will benefit greatly as those two other teams are unlikely to get any points.
Even though Reggina in the past have been known to be great escape atists, but it will take something short of a miracle to see them get out of this one. Nevio Orlandi who has been dismissed once and brought back is going to face a tough task in this match.
Veteran Coach Giuseppe Papadopulo on the other hand who last season brought Lecce up only to be sacked, now will aim to save Bologna. He guided them to victory over Genoa and the win came at a right time.
Reggina has one of the worst away record going into this match. They also got the lowest strikes with just 25 goals scored. They are trying their best to stay in Serie A having managed a win against Atalanta and a draw against Juventus, despite having led twice.
Their initial meeting this season ended in a 2-2 draw after Reggina took the lead twice only to draw the game.
As for the team news, Bologna will not have the likes of Francesco Antonioli, Cesar, Gabriele Paonessa, Luigi Lavecchia, Davide Bombardini, Miguel Angel Britos and Davide Marchini, but Sergio Volpi returns from suspension.
As for Reggina, Andrea Campagnolo their goalkeeper is out of this match and Alessio Sestu.
Take Bologna to win and give the 1/2 ball away here.
Cheers and good luck,
