Our prediction for this Serie B match:
Palermo and Spezia square off against each other at Stadio Renzo Barbera in what is expected to be a close Serie B encounter. The Sicilians failed to win the previous four league matches, but they are surely capable of making life difficult for the Bianconeri in Sicilia. Both Niccolo Pierozzi and Alexis Blin are sidelines with injuries, while duo Dario Saric – Alfred Gomis will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.
The visitors, on the other hand, are on a three-game winning run in the Italian second tier. As Spezia have been impressive at both ends of late, we predict that they are going to grab something from Sunday’s encounter. You should know that the two sides have shared the spoils in four of the previous five meetings between the two sides in the Serie B. Rachid Kouda misses out with injury, while goalkeeper Mouhamadou Sarr remains in the recovery room.
