Coppa Italia Semi-Finals Betting: Value in Matchups

In both games, the teams with lead have a significant edge. But just because a squad has an edge, it doesn’t mean they’re a lock to get it done in either the second leg or the overall aggregate. Think of how Paris Saint-Germain went to Barcelona and ended Barca’s dream by scoring 4 goals on Barcelona’s pitch. Strange things happen in 2-leg aggregates.

With that in mind, check out individual 2-leg aggregate odds before thinking about Coppa Italia Semi-Finals betting. Keep reading to understand the betting picks from D.S. Williamson: MyBookie’s betting expert on Italian football.

Italian Cup Semifinals

Lazio vs Juventus

Both teams are in decent enough form to attract betting dollars to win this match. Juventus dominated Lazio 2-0 in the first leg. Since then, Juve has beaten Fiorentina and drawn in back-to-back matches versus Torino and Cagliari.

Ah, but in the match before the Coppa first leg, in the previous head-to-head, Juve fell to Lazio 1-0. So Lazio does have a chance to pull off a massive upset in this because the game happens in Rome.

Not only does Lazio have the 1-0 win against Juventus on March 30, but Lazio has also won 2 straight over Salernitana and Genoa. All in all, Lazio is in much better form. The victory over Salernitana, 4-1, is a sign a major upset on the aggregate is possible.

Even though they’re down by 2, Lazio gets it done. Juve could be much too conservative in this, which is how Lazio climbs back into the aggregate. Lazio wins the aggregate via penalties after taking the game in regulation via a 2-0 score.

Atalanta vs Fiorentina

If we just look at the form, Fiorentina gets the nod. The road team in this comes off a victory. Viktoria Plzen doesn’t come close to Atalanta’s talent level.

Not only that, but in the first leg against Viktoria Plzen, Fiorentina had to fight for a draw. Before beating VP, Fiorentina drew against Genoa.

Atalanta lost their last match but it was against Liverpool in a Europa League match and it was by a single goal. In the previous matchup versus the Premier League power, Atalanta played excellent soccer, beating Pool 3-0 at Anfield. No doubt, Atalanta played the second leg perfectly, knowing all they had to do was protect a 3-goal lead.

A closer look reveals how much better Atalanta is. Fiorentina has a 1-goal lead, but Atalanta’s attack, led by rising star Gianluca Scamacca, will be too much for Fiorentina. Atalanta wins by at least 2 goals and could take this by 3.
