Our prediction for this Serie B match:
Cesena will be aiming to build on back-to-back wins over Sampdoria and Venezia when they take on Palermo in the Serie B round 5. The Bianconeri have been showing signs of improvement of late and a win over Palermo could see them climb to top position in the standings. With Riccardo Ciervo picking up a knock in the last league match, Raffaele Celia is widely expected to return to the starting XI.
The Sicilians, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Sudtirol and Bari. Palermo are determined to secure automatic Serie A promotion, but beating Cesena on the road is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, both teams to should be happy with one point from Saturday’s encounter. As for the away team, goalkeeper Alfred Gomis remains in the recovery room, but there are no fresh injury worries.
