Our prediction for this Serie B match:
All eyes will be on Stadio Renzo Barbera when Palermo and Sampdoria square off against each other in the Serie B round 32. The Sicilians suffered a dip in form, with the team losing four of their last five league matches and it is no surprise the odds for away win have been dropping. Both Claudio Gomes and Mamadou Coulibaly are banned for the match, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
La Samp, on the other hand, are on a four-game winning run in the Italian second tier. The visitors look unstoppable at the moment and given Palermo’s poor defensive performance in a 4-3 loss to Pisa, we predict that Andrea Pirlo’s men are going to give fans yet another reason to celebrate this weekend. Midfielder Facundo Gonzalez is banned for the match, while both Alex Ferrari and Sebastiano Esposito are sidelined with injuries.
