Our prediction for this Serie B match:
Sunday’s football game at Stadio Rigamonti Ceppi pits together Lecco and Palermo, the two sides with entirely different ambitions for the remainder of the season. Lecco do not seem to be at the top of their game, with the team losing four of their last five league matches and, as things stand now, they are unlikely to secure the Serie B survival. Even though there are no fresh injury worries in Alfredo Aglietti’s team, home win should not be considered.
The Sicilians, on the other hand, aim to recover from back-to-back defeats to Ternana and Brescia and they will not have a better chance than this to return to winning ways in the Italian second tier. To make things even worse for the visiting side, midfielder Ivan Marconi misses the match through suspension. Defender Fabio Lucioni remains doubtful and the 36-year-old will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
