Teams News

Novara

Novara’s season isn’t over yet, but their stay in the Italian top-tier is slowly ticking away. The challenges too aren’t over as they will be hosting the best team of the season, the Old Lady, which is yet to lose a single game in 34 games played. A win will most likely give Novara fans something to be happy about but given that statistics are more likely to take over a game than miracles, the team that plies its trade at the Stadio Silvio Piola might as well just play on and not think of the result.

Quite interestingly, Novara is coming off a win against third-place Lazio. The game, which featured a gift, an own-goal from Lazio defender Mobido Diakité, also saw a 79th winner from Giuseppe Mascara. And while the game did not really do Novara good in terms of table positioning and relegation escape, the home crowd definitely felt an arrow through their hearts seeing their team claim a win.

Juventus

AC Milan was the last Serie A team to finish with a perfect season – that was two decades ago. This season, it looks like Juventus might be able to rewrite the books of football history. With only four games to go, Antonio Conte will be fancying to get the record alongside the trophy, at this point, at the expense of Novara.

The Old Lady’s defense is the most notable feature of all. Their goal difference of +40 already tells the story. In the last six games in fact, Juventus has only conceded a single goal. Moreover the team’s defensive personnel aren’t sitting back to prevent goals; they are also scoring them! Bonucci, Chiellini, Lichsteiner and Caceres have scored at least once this season.

Novara v Juventus Betting Preview

It’s hard to look elsewhere outside a Juventus win. The league leaders are not only stronger on paper; they are also carrying an unbeatable form. And for this game, there’s no other player worth taking a look than Andrea Pirlo. The 32-year old Italian is playing like a madman this season. Three goals and 11 assists in 33 appearances, the man has only missed a single game in the season so far.

Betting Tip

Verdict: Juventus 2, Novara 0.

Tip: Juventus are expected to take all three points against Novara so it’s unlikely that they will be featuring good deals for punters looking to win big. Correct score punts look worthwhile though, Juventus at 2-0 is at 9/2 odds while 3-0 is at an even better odds of 6/1.

As for goalscorers, well you could take anyone from AC Milan and that wouldn’t matter. But Andrea Pirlo to score anytime at 11/4 is the best punt to take for now.
