Our prediction for this Serie B match:
Stadio Rigamonti Ceppi will host Saturday’s football game between Lecco and Brescia, who meet for the first time in the Serie B. Lecco kicked off the new Serie B campaign with a 4-3 loss to Catanzaro and given their problems at the back, home win should not be considered. Experienced forward Umberto Eusepi is pushing for his first start of the season after scoring as a substitute against Catanzaro, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
The visitors, on the other hand, did well to beat Cosenza thanks to Birkir Bjarnason’s goal in their season opener and given the fact that they are a more experienced side than Lecco, away win should be considered. As for the away team, former Chievo Verona midfielder Massimo Bertagnoli is a major doubt and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
Highlighted Team (Brescia):
Hosting their rivals at Stadio Mario Rigamonti, the stadium with the capacity of 16,743, Brescia are Italian team founded back in 1911 under the name of Brescia Football Club. Le Rondinelle are well known for their blue and white shirts, but white is dominant colour in their away kit.
Atalanta are considered one of the club’s fiercest rivals, with the two teams facing each other in the Derby of Lombardy. The Stadio Mario Rigamonti outfit have rivalries with the likes of Inter, Hellas Verona and Cremonese as well. Roberto Baggio, who has 56 caps with the Italy national football team, is considered the most famous footballer who played for Brescia.
Robi scored 45 goals in 95 appearances in the Serie A for le Rondinelle. It has to be noted that the likes of Andrea Pirlo, Gheorge Hagi, Pep Guardiola, Luca Toni, Luigi Di Biagio and Dario Hubner were part of Brescia in the past as well. However, Mario Rigamonti is the club’s biggest legend as he died in the Superga air disaster back in 1949.
