Our prediction for this Serie B match:
Sunday’s football game between Benevento and Palermo will bring down the curtain on day 15 of the new Serie B campaign. Benevento aim to escape the danger zone, and they must be high on confidence following their four-game unbeaten run. Fit-again midfielder Gennaro Acampora is pushing for a start after scoring as a substitute in the last league match, while Nermin Nikic is banned for the match.
The Sicilians, on the other hand, suffered yet another dip in form, with the team losing to both Cosenza (2-3) and Venezia (0-1) in the previous two league fixtures. Since Palermo have already suffered four defeats on the road this term, we are tempted to put our money on Benevento this time out. All Davide Bettella, Masimiliano Doda, Alessio Buttaro, Dario Saric, and Salvatore Elia are out of contention through injuries for the visiting side, but Serbia defender Mladen Devetak has overcome his problem.
Highlighted Player (Camillo Ciano):

However, he was immediately sent on loan to Crotone where he scored 17 goals in 36 appearances for the club.
In 2015 the Italian footballer joined Cesena where he found his best form. In 2017 he moved to fellow Serie B side Frosinone and it has to be noted that he impressed in the 2017/2018 Serie B season, scoring 14 goals and providing 17 assists for his teammates.
Camillo Ciano’s main position is right winger, but he is used as both second striker and left winger as well. He was born on February 22, 1990 in Marcianise (Italy). Ciano’s preferred foot is left.
