Our prediction for this Serie B match:
Following three consecutive draws, Palermo will be aiming to return to winning ways in the Serie B when they take on Reggiana on Saturday afternoon. The Sicilians failed to win the previous four home games in the Italian second tier, but they are still seen as favourites to beat Reggiana on home soil. Both Francesco Di Mariano and Aljosa Vasic are sidelined with injuries, while Alessio Buttaro should be recalled to the starting XI.
I Granata, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 4-0 loss to Cosenza and given their three-game losing run in the Serie B, we are tempted to place our bets on the home team. In the first half of the season Palermo defeated Reggiana 3-1. As for the visiting team, Antonio Vergara remains in the recovery room, while fellow midfielder Domen Crnigoj is a major doubt.
