Our prediction for this Serie B match:
Following three consecutive draws in the Serie B, Brescia will look to return to winning ways when they take on Palermo on Matchday 28. Le Rondinelle have a chance to climb to the playoffs berth and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach in Saturday’s clash. Iceland midfielder Birkir Bjarnason is widely expected to return to the starting XI after coming as a substitute in the midweek draw with Ascoli, while Tom van de Looi is banned for the match.
Goalkeeper Lorenzo Andrenacci remains in the recovery room. The Sicilians, on the other hand, produced an under-par display in a 3-2 loss to Ternana on Tuesday evening, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on Brescia this time out. Defender Fabio Lucioni remains in the recovery room, but he should be the only absentee in the visiting team.
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.
