Our prediction for this Serie B match:
In-form Palermo will look to climb to automatic promotion berth when they take on Lecco on Matchday 11. The Sicilians have been producing excellent displays in the Serie B of late and, as a result, they are seen as hot favourites to beat the newcomers in front of home fans. Both Mancuso and Stulac are pushing for recalls to the starting XI after the duo got their names on the scoresheet in a 2-2 draw with Spezia, while Mamadou Coulibaly misses out with injury.
The visitors, on the other hand, did well to shock Pisa (2-1) in their last league match, but they will have a mountain to climb against the high-flying Sicilian outfit. Mattia Tordini should sneak into the starting XI after scoring a late winner at the weekend, while there are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of the trip to Palermo. The two teams meet for the first time in the Italian second tier.
