Vicenza vs Livorno – Preview and betting tips
Vicenza will host Livorno, one of the strongest teams in the league right now. These two sides will be face to face this noon from 14:00, UK Time, in the 20th fixture of Italy Serie B. The odds are very balanced right now.
Vicenza are coming after a good run, proof that they ticked three wins and one loss in the last four league matches. They are now on the 12th position, with a total of 26 points and a bad goal difference, 18-22. The hosts are not fighting for promotion, but they must hope, having only one point behind the play-off places.
Livorno are coming after five fixtures with only one victory recorded. They are now on the 3rd place in Serie B, with 30 points, one less than the second place and seven than the first one. The guests are still fighting for a promotion spot, but a play-off position could not be so bad in the end. They won only to away games after nine matches this campaign.
Livorno and Vicenza faced each other four times in the last four seasons. We saw three draws, everytime with goals, while the last meeting ended with a victory for Livorno, 2-0 in April 2013.
Prediction: X2 @ 1.36
The odds are not so high for this prediction, but we expect Livorno to get at least one point here, considering that they are in a better form and they also have a stronger squad at first view.

Sheffield United vs Southampton – Preview and betting tips
Southampton will try to regain their excellent form from the starting season against Sheffield United. The game will take place this Tuesday from 19:45 and Soton are in pole-position.
Sheffield United are a League One (3rd league) team and they could not expect too many things from a game like this. More than that, their form is not a very good one, with only one victory in the last five games. Sheffield have not impressed in front of their own fans this stage. They played a total of 13 competitive games, ticking seven wins, three draws and already three defeats.
Southampton impressed us in the start of this season when they were fighting with Chelsea for the leading place in Premier League. Their form suffered a lot in the past few weeks, proof that in the last five league games Soton won only one point. “The Saints” are without victory in the last 45 days if we talk about away matches, their last won was against Hull City, 1-0 on November 1st.
The last time when these two clubs were face to face happened in 2008-2009 season, in Championship. Sheffield won four points in that season after 0-0 here and 2-1 away.
Prediction: 2 @ 1.53
League Cup is a very important trophy for a team like Southampton and we expect them to fight for it. We chose to bet on their victory in this Quarter Final, the odds offered by Bwin being very attractive at the moment.
