Prediction: 1-1
Brescia
All eyes will be on Stadio Renato Curri when Perugia and Brescia square off against each other in the Serie B round 8. Perugia have been performing above expectations in the 2021/2022 season, with the team suffering only one defeat in the process. The newcomers created a couple of clear-cut chances to score in a goalless draw with Benevento before the international break, which is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of the visit of Brescia.
Le Rondinelle failed to impress in a 4-2 loss to Como, and seeing that Perugia are tough to beat at home, we are tempted to put our money on draw. Veteran attacker Rodrigo Palacio should keep his place up front after he both scored and assisted in the last league match. You should know that under 2.5 goals have been netted in four of Brescia’s last five league fixtures. Australia international Fran Karacic is banned for the visitors.
