 Swear Peter has been the last few times, record broken for most minutes without a goal at home too! Coincidence? I think not ;)
Thanks to fixture congestion I've been a lot this year as there have been loads of mid-week games. Saints have only one 6 at home all season, but at least I saw two of them.

Can anybody throw any light on Cesana v Vernoa today?

Draw trading at 1.74 currently?

Is this normal for end of season dead rubbers in Serie B and does anyone have experience of similar and outcomes etc?

Just looking at that, Verona need a draw to guarantee promotion, unsure as to why the draw is so short tho

Many years ago my radar picked up a draw as the odds on favorite - back then I didn't hesitate to lay it and watched 90 minutes of 22 men playing 'pass but don't tackle' and not a hint of anyone going in for a goal. I discovered during the game that both teams were guaranteed promotion for a point each - but only the victor could go up if it wasn't draw. Even when I discovered that I didn't withdraw for a smallish loss not believing that all involved could really agree not to play - but I was wrong.

Does there not need to be logic to both teams playing for a draw in these games?

Verona can still potentially win the league with a win tonight

If only you could of seen the match when Verona was in the same position the last time they got promoted from B against Empoli. Totally comical efforts both teams final 1/3, really was that obvious. Only in Italy... :lol:

So would backing the draw be the best option here? Laying either team would be too much risk and laying the draw seems pointless given the comments I've read :lol:
