Our prediction for this Serie B match:
Pisa will try to recover from a 3-1 loss to Como when they take on Palermo in a highly-anticipated Serie B game. The Nerazzurri are eyeing a spot in the playoffs and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at Palermo. Both D’Alessandro and Estevez are pushing for recalls to the starting XI, while both Andrea Barberis and Matteo Tramoni remain in the recovery room.
The Sicilians, on the other hand, have suffered three defeats in the last four league matches and given their poor defensive display in a 3-0 loss to Venezia before the international break, home win should definitely be considered. Both Ranocchia and Lucioni are out of contention with injuries for the visiting team, while midfielder Giuseppe Aurelio is pushing for a start. Earlier this season Palermo defeated Pisa 3-2 in Sicilia, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge.
