Our prediction for this Serie B match:
Brescia will be looking to build on a hard-fought 1-0 win over Benevento when they host Pordenone to their Stadio Mario Rigamonti on Saturday afternoon. Brescia aim to overtake Pisa in top position, and they are likely to go all guns blazing at the visiting team. France midfielder Matteo Tramoni is pushing for a start after scoring a late winner in the last league match.
Pordenone, on the other hand, are stuck at the bottom of the table, with the team collecting only three points in total from possible 33. The rock-bottom side have yet to record a win in the new Serie B campaign, and seeing that Brescia are a real force to be reckoned with at home, the underdogs are unlikely to grab something from Saturday’s showdown. Roberto Zammarini could sneak into Pordenone’s starting line-up after scoring a late equalizer in the draw with Cremonese.
