Our prediction for this Serie B match:
Stadio Mario Rigamonti will host Monday’s football game between Brescia and Vicenza, the two mid-table sides. Brescia aim to build on a 3-2 win over Spal, and they must be high on spirits ahead of the visit of Vicenza. Le Rondinelle are after their fourth home win of the season, but keep in mind that both Cistana (injury) and Ghezzi (suspension) are out of contention for the hosts.
The Biancorossi, on the other hand, failed to impress in back-to-back defeats to Lecce and Entella, which is yet another reason why we are tempted to put our money on Brescia. Ierardi misses the game with injury, while Beruatto will have to serve his ban against le Rondinelle. In their last meeting at Stadio Mario Rigamonti Brescia recorded a 2-1 win over Vicenza, and we predict that the history is going to repeat itself.
