Our prediction for this Serie B match:
Palermo will look to make amends for back-to-back losses to Reggiana and Spezia when they take on Ascoli in the Serie B round 37. The Sicilians are determined to cement their spot in the playoffs and they are surely capable of matching the relegation strugglers on home soil. Liam Henderson is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while Francesco Di Mariano remains on the sidelines with injury. Midfielder Aljosa Vasic will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
Il Picchio, on the other hand, are fighting hard to avoid relegation to Serie C, but their display in a 1-0 loss to Cosenza is not giving fans a reason for optimism. Defender Giuseppe Bellusci is banned for the match, while midfielder Erdis Kraja remains in the recovery room. Anyhow, home win should be considered as Ascoli have already suffered nine defeats on the road this term.
