Venezia vs Palermo Prediction & Betting tips
In the Italian Serie B, the actors are still on the field. Venezia, Palermo, Cittadella and Frosinone are currently contesting the promotion of Serie A. After 42 games of the season, Venezia finished fifth in the quarter-finals of the play-offs. Palermo secured four points more and enjoys the privilege that they can only start in the semifinals. The two teams faced each other twice this season, with Venezia clearly winning their home game. In Palermo the game ended without a goal. Since the participant is determined for the final of the playoffs in a first and second leg, I hardly expect goals in this first leg. The match will kick off at 20:00 at Stadio Pierluigi Penzo. For potential bets on the away team you will get odds of 3.30. In the case of successful bets on the home team you get back about double the bet.
Venezia:
FC Venice had its most glorious times in the 1940s. At that time, Venezia played their matches in Serie A and even secured the Coppa Italia. Since then much has changed. 2005 followed the financial collapse and thus the forced descent. In the current season, Venice convinced with Filippo Inzaghi on the sidelines. Already last season, the former Italy star coached the team from Venice. At that time in the third highest Italian league Inzaghi coached his troupe on the first place in the series C. Thus, Venice rose directly in the Serie B on.
And this season, too, it looks like a new climb. Right in the first season in the second highest league convinced Venice and secured the fifth place standings. In the quarter-finals of the playoffs won the Northern Italians earned 3-0 against Perugia and thus entered the semi-finals. But Venezia will have more trouble against Palermo. The game takes place in the usual home of Venice. The Stadio Pierluigi Penzo was opened in 1913, making it the second oldest football stadium in Italy.
Palermo:
In the 2013/14 season, the US Palermo confidently took the first place in the Serie B standings, securing the direct promotion to the top league. The following season ended the Sicilians with a place in the midfield of Serie A. In the season 2015/16 Palermo fought for the league and managed the venture just barely. Things got worse last season: The southern Italians returned to Serie B – with Palermo re-establishing themselves in Serie B and finishing fourth in the current season with 71 points. With that Palermo narrowly missed the direct ascent.
Parma had only one more counter in the account and secured the second place. As Palermo finished fourth, they will only enter the semi-finals of the playoffs. A strong performance and above all an away goal would be important for the US Palermo for the return leg on Sunday.
