Our prediction for this Serie B match:
Como will look to recover from a 2-0 loss to Brescia when they take on Palermo in the Serie B round 18. Como have already recorded five wins at home this season, but Saturday’s clash will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side. Defender Federico Barba misses the game through suspension, while both Lhassine Kone and Nicholas Ioannou are out of contention through injuries.
The Sicilians, on the other hand, proved their worth in a 3-2 win over Pisa, with the team remaining in the playoffs berth, but seeing that Como are tough to beat at home, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. As for the away side, defender Pietro Ceccaroni is a major doubt and he will be assessed ahead of the kick-off. In their last meeting in the Italian second tier the two sides played out a 1-1 draw.
