Brescia take on the visitors Palermo at “Stadio Mario Rigamonti” in the round two of the Italian Serie B. The match will be played on Saturday, September 2nd.
Brescia recorded seven-game unbeaten run covering four victories and three draws at the last season’s finishing line. That spurt allowed “Leonessa” to save its place in the Serie B, having sited on the 15th place with 50 points earned and 49-58 goal difference. Still, Brescia failed at the start of a new season: in the Coppa Italia Brescia have passed through Padova 1:0 in the first stage, but lost 1:3 to Pescara in the second one, while entered the Serie B with 1:2 defeat to Avellino on the road.

On termination of 2016/2017 season, Palermo have left the elite division without any chances for keeping their place there because of complete absence of the team play: the side picked up 26 points with 33 goals for and 77 goals against. “Aquile” took a good start at the new level, however, they have been knocked out from the Coppa Italia already as, having thrashed 5:0 Virtus Francavilla and afterwards the club lost to Cagliari by penalty shoot-outs after 1:1 draw in the regular and added time. Nevertheless, Palermo opened new season in the Serie B with 2:0 victory over Spezia and become one of the main contenders for promotion to the elite division.
Brescia have disappointed greatly in the opening clashes of the season while “Aquile” left favourable impressions on the new and lower football tier. Therefore, it can be presumed that the visitors will get points in the Saturday fight.
Prediction for the match: Palermo to win with +0.5 Asian handicap (X2).
