Juventus Upset by Fiorentina in Coppa Italia

From all of yesterday’s match results, the Coppa Italia provided the most action in what was a relatively quiet Thursday evening (5 March). Meeting in the fist leg of the semi final was Juventus and Fiorentina. Playing away at Juventus Stadium was always going to be a challenge, but La Viola stood up to the challenge magnificently.

The match started out positively for Fiorentina, who struck first with an 11th minute goal from Mohammed Salah, who is currently on loan from parent club Chelsea. Just 13 minutes later, however, Spanish striker Fernando Llorente equalised in the 24th minute. But Salah scored again in the 56th minute, with Fiorentina able to hold out for a crucial away win.

Despite Juventus controlling 56% of possession, the Old Lady only crafted four attempts on target. Meanwhile, Fiorentina were also able to create four attempts on target, but from just 44% possession.

Horse Racing Naps for Cheltenham Festival 2015

On: Mar 06  / Categories: Classy Updates, Horse Racing Naps  / 

Towards the end of the last week, we shared a couple of horse racing naps ahead of the Cheltenham Festival on Tuesday. The naps were provided by Simon Panting of CheltenhamZone, by way of the Huffington Post. Today, we share Simon’s three final Cheltenham naps.

Bouveril is a horse that is fancied for the Fred Winter Handicap because of his intelligence, a mark of horses trained by Paul Nicholls. Weighing in as one of the lighter horses, Bouveril is in prime racing condition.

For the Ryanair Chase, Panting fancies Don Cossack to win. And so do many others, with Don Cossack considered by many to be the favourite. Don Cossack has won four straight races leading into Cheltenham.

The Nicky Henderson-ridden Peace and Co is the favourite for the Triumph Hurdle. Bred in France, this horse is expected to adapt well to the quick pace of Cheltenham.
