Our prediction for this Serie B match:
Palermo will be aiming to build on a 3-1 win over Sudtirol when they face Salernitana on Sunday afternoon. The Sicilians quickly bounced back from a massive 5-0 loss to Napoli, with the team regaining a much-needed confidence, but they do not want to stop now. A man to watch in the home team will be talented midfielder Filippo Ranocchia, who provided two assists for his teammates in the triumph over Sudtirol.
Bear in mind, though, that the likes of Patryk Peda, Niccolo Pierozzi, and Francesco Di Bartolo remain in the recovery room. Salernitana, on the other hand, failed to win the previous five league matches and given their difficulties in front of goal, home win should definitely be considered. Both Andres Sfait and Franco Tongya are injured for the away team. In their last meeting in the Serie B Salernitana defeated Palermo 2-1, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge.
