Our prediction for this Serie B match:
Sunday’s football game between Palermo and Sampdoria will bring down the curtain on the Serie B round 14. The Sicilians have been struggling to find their best form of late, with the team failing to win the last three league matches and they face yet another tough challenge against La Samp. A man to watch in the home will be winger Roberto Insigne, who produced a brilliant display in a 1-1 draw with Frosinone before the international break, while Bosnia international Dario Saric remains in the recovery room.
The Genovese, on the other hand, aim to recover from back-to-back losses to Brescia and Pisa. As both Sampdoria and Palermo will go for a win in Sunday’s derby, we are tempted to bet on both teams to score. The good news for the away team is that defender Alessandro Riccio returns from suspension. Fellow defender Bartosz Bereszynski, though, has yet to overcome his injury.
