Our prediction for this Serie B match:
Reggiana and Brescia face each other at Mapei Stadium – Citta del Tricolore in the Serie B round 16. I Granata will be without suspended midfielder Edoardo Pieragnolo in Sunday’s clash, while both Antonio Vergara and Luca Vido are major doubts. Slovenia midfielder Domen Crnigoj is widely expected to return to the starting XI.
Le Rondinelle, on the other hand, aim to build on a 3-1 win over Sampdoria, but given their ups and downs on the road, we predict that the two sides are going to share the spoils in Sunday’s encounter. Both Emanuele Ndoj and Mohamed Fares are out of contention with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the away team. In their last meeting in the Italian second tier the two teams played out a 2-2 draw, which is yet another reason why this betting option should be considered.
Highlighted Team (Brescia):
Hosting their rivals at Stadio Mario Rigamonti, the stadium with the capacity of 16,743, Brescia are Italian team founded back in 1911 under the name of Brescia Football Club. Le Rondinelle are well known for their blue and white shirts, but white is dominant colour in their away kit.
Atalanta are considered one of the club’s fiercest rivals, with the two teams facing each other in the Derby of Lombardy. The Stadio Mario Rigamonti outfit have rivalries with the likes of Inter, Hellas Verona and Cremonese as well. Roberto Baggio, who has 56 caps with the Italy national football team, is considered the most famous footballer who played for Brescia.
Robi scored 45 goals in 95 appearances in the Serie A for le Rondinelle. It has to be noted that the likes of Andrea Pirlo, Gheorge Hagi, Pep Guardiola, Luca Toni, Luigi Di Biagio and Dario Hubner were part of Brescia in the past as well. However, Mario Rigamonti is the club’s biggest legend as he died in the Superga air disaster back in 1949.
