Palermo-Brescia is a match of the thirty-eighth day of Serie B and is played on Friday at 20:30: lineups, predictions, TV and streaming.
Hot ninety minutes for Palermo and Brescia, both still fighting for different goals. The Sicilians are eighth, last valid slot to participate in the playoffs. A position to defend tooth and nail, since behind the Rosaneri there are as many as four teams (Pisa, Reggina, Ascoli and Como) that could overtake them in extremis.
Eugenio Corini’s men will not be able to concede anything to the perilous Brescia, which risks direct relegation to Serie C. Palermo, compared to its direct competitors, has the advantage of being masters of its own destiny: if it wins, it is certain to play its promotion chances in the upcoming postseason. If, on the other hand, it were to end up tied on points with another team, some calculations will have to be made: Brunori and his teammates would have the worst of it with Venezia and Reggina (direct clashes against them), but also with Pisa and possibly Como (goal difference). They would come out on top instead against Ascoli, thanks to the better goal difference. But, we said, it is also a crucial match for the Rondinelle, called to avoid a bitter relegation. Brescia is fourth-last, with one point less than Cosenza and three to make up on Cittadella. Direct salvation is pure utopia, but in the event of a defeat in Sicily and a simultaneous win by Perugia – the Umbrians host already relegated Benevento – the Lombardi would end up in C without playout because of direct clashes.
Palermo-Brescia: the latest lineup news
The absence that stands out in Palermo’s ranks is that of defender Marconi, disqualified. In his place Corini will have Bettella play. In attack it is a runoff between Tutino and Soleri.
Gastaldello, Brescia coach
On the other side, Gastaldello will respond with a 4-3-2-1, with Rodriguez and Adryan supporting the only forward Ayé. In defense there is Cistana, in the middle instead space for Bisoli.
The prediction
It is not difficult to imagine the script of the match, if we take into account that Brescia needs at least a point to avoid direct relegation. Palermo will do everything to bring home a victory that would allow them to secure the playoffs. It’s shaping up to be a pretty tight match, characterized by a more prolific second half than the first.
