Football Bet of the Day for Friday, May 8

Over 2.5 goals

Torino vs Sassuolo
Serie A, 7.45pm

Torino came from 2-0 down to draw 2-2 with champions Inter in their last home Serie A fixture and more entertainment is expected when they host Sassuolo on Friday.

Over 2.5 goals looks a good bet given that Sassuolo arrive in Turin boosted by some impressive recent results.

Fabio Grosso's men drew 1-1 away to Juventus in March before beating Champions League hopefuls Como 2-1 and Milan 2-0 in their last two home fixtures. 

Inspirational winger Domenico Berardi scored a fifth-minute opener against Milan on Sunday and Sassuolo are optimistic that he will recover from a knock in time for Friday's game.

Torino lost 2-0 at Udinese last week but they are far more effective on their own turf. Before the 2-2 draw with Inter they had won their previous three home games, racking up eight goals against Lazio, Parma and Verona.

Four of Sassuolo's last six away matches produced over 2.5 goals and these confident teams should put on a lively show in Turin.

Odds: 19-20 with Hills
