Our prediction for this Serie B match:
Brescia will be aiming to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Sampdoria when they take on Cosenza in the Serie B round 13. Le Rondinelle did well to put an end to their four-game winless run, with the team climbing to the playoffs berth, but they should not stop now. Lorenzo Dickmann serves a one-game ban, while Fabrizio Paghera misses out with injury.
The Rossoblu, on the other hand, are undefeated in the previous four league matches. Cosenza are eager to escape the relegation zone, but seeing that over the years Brescia have turned their Stadio Mario Rigamonti into a real fortress, we do not believe that the visitors are capable of grabbing something from Saturday’s clash. Both Gyamfi and Novello are out of contention with injuries for the away team, while both Mazzocchi and D’Orazio are pushing for recalls to the starting XI.
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.
