Our prediction for this Serie B match:
Saturday’s football game at Stadio San Vito-Luigi Marulla pits together Cosenza and Palermo, the two teams who shared the spoils with FeralpiSalo and Sampdoria respectively at the weekend. The Rossoblu are sitting in the danger zone, just above the bottom five and, no doubt, this match is of big importance for the home side. Forward Manuel Marras is banned for the hosts, while midfielder Pietro Martino is a major doubt and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
The Sicilians, on the other hand, are eager to put an end to their three-game winless run in the Italian second tier. As Palermo will go for a win in Saturday’s encounter as well, we are tempted to place our bets on both teams to score. Both Francesco Di Mariano and Fabio Lucioni are banned for the match, while midfielder Aljosa Vasic remains on the sidelines with injury.
