Our prediction for this Serie B match:
Following a 1-0 loss at Carrarese, Palermo will be aiming to return to winning ways in the Serie B when they take on Catanzaro on Matchday 17. The Sicilians are eager to stay in the playoffs berth, but Sunday’s clash will be anything but a walk in the park for the home team. The likes of Blin, Gomis, Pierozzi, and Saric remain in the recovery room, but there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
Catanzaro, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-1 win over Brescia. The Giallorossi, though, have yet to record a win on the road this season, mainly sharing the spoils with their rivals and that is the main reason why we are going to bet on draw. Midfielder Marco Pompetti is back from suspension, while defender Niccolo Brighenti serves a one-game ban this time out.
