Melanie Gervasoni

I've been a copywriter for almost 10 years now. The job, broadly, is getting people to read things they were fully prepared to scroll past. At 7bet, what I write about is sports and casinos.

Areas of Expertise

English football

Major tournaments

Pre-match analysis

Betting markets

Tennis

Basketball

Writing Approach

The stuff I’m proudest of is the articles you finish reading and come away actually understanding the game a bit better. I try my hardest to keep my English as plain as possible so that even beginners can grasp the topic.

How Do You Stay Up to Date?

  • Stats and analytics platforms for form, xG, and head-to-head numbers
  • Official league and club sites for confirmed team news and lineups
  • Football news outlets, both British and continental press
  • Odds movement across the books
  • Watching live sports, obviously

Featured Work & Quick Facts

Approximate published articles: I must have written more than 800 articles throughout my career – these are a few I particularly enjoyed writing for 7bet.

Education & Languages

  • I have a degree in Marketing, Sales and Export Management, which sounds grander than my daily to-do list usually is, but it's how I ended up writing for a living.
  • I work in two languages: Italian, my native language, and English, which I'm fluent enough in to argue about football.

  • Melanie Gervasoni
    Sports & casino journalist
For the first time since 2016, Manchester City arrive at Anfield without Pep Guardiola. His former assistant Enzo Maresca has won all five league games, so City come as leaders. Liverpool changed manager too: Andoni Iraola replaced Arne Slot in June, and his team are unbeaten but six points behind after three draws.  The Matchweek 6 game is on Sunday 11 October at Anfield in Liverpool, with kick-off at 16:30 BST.  Below we go through six types of bet, starting with the simplest. The rest of the round is on our Premier League odds page.JTNDc2NyaXB0JTIwdHlwZSUzRCUyMnRleHQlMkZqYXZhc2NyaXB0JTIyJTIwc3JjJTNEJTIyaHR0cHMlM0ElMkYlMkZqcy43YmV0LnBhcnRuZXJzJTJGamF2YXNjcmlwdC5waHAlM0ZwcmVmaXglM0RnMHRwcEFNSVpFbVhyWnp4QzYzOG5XTmQ3WmdxZFJMayUyNmFtcCUzQm1lZGlhJTNENDU5JTI2YW1wJTNCY2FtcGFpZ24lM0Q0MCUyMiUzRSUzQyUyRnNjcmlwdCUzRQ== Liverpool vs Man City – Betting Odds Manchester...

Austria have made a perfect start to the Nations League, with two 3-1 wins that put them top of League B, Group 3.

Norway vs Portugal Betting Odds: UEFA Nations League 2026

  • Melanie Gervasoni
    Sports & casino journalist
Norway don't do quiet games. At the World Cup this summer, they scored and conceded in all six of their matches, and those games produced 24 goals. Portugal were much harder to score against, letting in just three goals in five matches. The two sides meet at Ullevaal Stadion in Oslo on Sunday 27 September, on Matchday 2 of League A, Group 4 in the 2026/27 UEFA Nations League. Kick-off is at 19:45 BST. If the betting terms are new to you, each market is explained below.
