Our prediction for this Serie B match:
Palermo and Venezia take on each other at Stadio Renzo Barbera in the Serie A curtain-raiser. The Sicilians did well to beat Lecco thanks to Ionut Nedelcearu’s goal at the weekend, with the team regaining a much-needed confidence, but they should not stop now. Both Filippo Ranocchia and Roberto Insigne are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
I Lagunari, on the other hand, aim to build on a 3-1 win over Bari and given their attacking potential, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. The opposition back-line should have Joel Pohjanpalo at bay at the Finland striker netted his 18th goal of the season against the Biancorossi. There are no fresh injury concerns in the visiting team ahead of the trip to Sicilia and you should know that both sides managed to find the net in four of their last five meetings in the Italian second tier.
