Torino - Cagliari - Italy Serie A

Round 12 of Italian Serie A starts today:  Torino and Cagliari will meet face to face on Saturday at 18:00 CET (13:00 p.m. EST, U.S.), at Stadio Olimpico Grande Torino (Torino). Both teams score and allow a lot of goals - Toro's last 6 games provided a total of 24 goals, while Cagliari settled for 25 in the same period. Torino is coming off a disappointing 2-2 tie against Udinese; they are leaking goals at the back, since Castan’s injury.  Cagliari had a difficult win last time out vs. Palermo, 2-1 at home.  With that, I pick the option Match Total - "Alternative Goal Line" (Over 2.0,2.5 goals), i.e., if both teams score exactly 2 goals in 90 mins., then, 1/2 of the Bet is considered Void and 1/2 of the wager is returned ("safety net"); The other half is considered a loss.

UPDATE November 05, 2016 - FINAL Result:  Torino 5-1 Cagliari. Torino easily defeated Cagliari in the first game of round 12 in Serie A: The home team nailed 3 goals in just 38 mins. of the 1st half - Belotti 2',  Ljajić 10', and Benassi 38' scored, but then Melchiorri pulled 1 back for the visitors in 41' ;  In the 2nd half, the home side continued to dominate and scored 2 more goals - Baselli 51' and Belotti 59' completed the final score: 5-1 Torino.  Total goals for the match - 6, i.e. exceeding by far our projected match total of Over 2.5 goals - a clear winner for us.
