My recommended Bet Builder sailed in on Wednesday night and I'm hoping to land another winner in Serie A on Saturday evening.
Benevento vs Juventus (Saturday, 17:00)
Juventus are showing signs of improvement and they should be able to brush aside newly-promoted Benevento on Saturday evening.
Andrea Pirlo's star-studded side suffered a bit of stuttering start to the current campaign, however, they now find themselves in the midst of an eight-game unbeaten run in Serie A.
What's more, the Old Lady sealed qualification for the Champions League last 16 with a last-gasp 2-1 win over Ferencvaros on Tuesday night.
Next up for the reigning champions is a trip to the Stadio Ciro Vigorito for a bout with a Benevento side who will be buoyed by their 1-0 win at Fiorentina last Sunday.
However, a very different game is in store against Juventus, but an away win looks too short to put up at a widely available 4/9.
I'll therefore head to the Bet Builder market and combine Juventus to win, over one Juventus goal, Benevento to collect over zero cards and over one match card, a 5/6 shot with Bet 365.
Juventus' early-seasons struggles can be attributed to their leaky backline – they have kept just one clean sheet in seven – and I suspect they could need two or more goals to overcome a Benevento side who have made the net bulge in six of their eight Italian top-flight outings this term.
However, Filiipo Inzaghi's side have the joint leakiest defence in the division and that does not bode well ahead of a dust-up with Cristiano Ronaldo and co.
With that in mind, coupled with the fact that Benevento are averaging 2.38 yellow cards per game this season, I'm happy to have a play on the above-mentioned combination.
It's also worth noting that Benevento have lost five of their eight league games this season and this Bet Builder has banked in each of their last four defeats.
