Prediction: 1-1
Palermo
Cittadella will look to maintain their momentum when they host Palermo in what promises to be a closely contested Serie B encounter. La Citta are riding high after consecutive victories over Reggiana and Sudtirol, showcasing their attacking potential and defensive resilience. However, injuries have left the hosts severely depleted, with Angeli, Capradossi, Djibril, Maniero, Negro, Sanogo, and Tessiore all sidelined, forcing manager Alessandro Dal Canto to improvise.
Palermo, meanwhile, continue to demonstrate their credentials as promotion contenders. Their narrow 1-0 triumph over Bari last time out highlighted their ability to grind out results under pressure. Still, traveling to face an in-form Cittadella is a tough challenge, especially with Blin, Di Bartolo, Gomis, and Peda unavailable for selection. With both teams missing important players and evenly matched in terms of recent form, this clash is likely to be decided by fine margins. A hard-fought battle is expected and we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw.
