Our prediction for this Serie B match:
Palermo play host to Cittadella at their Stadio Renzo Barbera on day 12 of the new Serie B campaign. The Sicilians are determined to return to the Serie A, but they need to keep on improving their game if they are to meet the goal. The likes of Baniya, Brunori, Di Bartolo, Saric, and Sirigu are sidelined with injuries for the home side, while both Blin and Gomis will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
La Citta, on the other hand, do not seem to be at their sharpest. Cittadella are on a seven-game winless run, losing four of their last six games and that is probably the main reason why home win should be considered. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of the trip to Sicilia. In their last meeting in the Italian second tier Cittadella defeated Palermo 2-0, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge.
