Milan 42-30
Serie A betting tip: SPAL- Fiorentina
Aug 02, 2020Serie A: SPAL- Fiorentina
SPAL visited a Verona side in midweek who had achieved all their targets for the season , had not won in 7, or kept a clean sheet in 12 and who were already mentally lying on a beach somewhere, and yet they lost 3-0.

These have been the two best teams in Italy post lockdown. With Atalanta going 8-2-0 through their 10 starts and Milan 7-2-0 from a game less.
All season long we have spoken of Atalanta having Serie A best numbers and they are a whopping + 247 for ITB, which is circa 100 better than anyone else, Milan are sixth best on +94 , Xp puts the visitors top on 71 pts, 10 more than ACM who come in 5th.
Serie A : updated xP and ITB tables ahead of this weekend's games .............
Jul 10, 2020
I have changed the final column so that it covers the last five games which are all since lockdown, some teams have played six times since the restart, but only the last five starts are counted to make them easier to compare.
Pd = games played.
Pts = points
GD = goal difference
XP= expected points
XGD = expected goal difference
ITB = inside the box net numbers for the season
L5 = inside the box totals (created-conceded) for the last 5 games ( all post restart).
