Our prediction for this Serie B match:
Brescia will be aiming to bounce back from a 1-0 loss to Modena when they take on Bari on Matchday 11. Le Rondinelle aim to climb to the playoffs berth and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach in Sunday’s clash. Both Bjarnason and Huard are pushing for a start, while midfielder Massimo Bertagnoli faces race against the clock to be fit for the match.
Michele Mignani’s troops, on the other hand, have subscribed to draw, with the team already sharing the spoils eight times with their rivals this term. Yet another close encounter is on the cards and we predict that the two sides are going to play out a draw on Matchday 11. Experienced forward Jeremy Menez remains on the sidelines with a long-term injury, while midfielder Mattia Maita 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.
