Palermo vs Pescara betting tips 13 October Italian Serie B: "Palermo confirmed their weaknesses away from home once again, as they were limited to a draw away to Brescia last weekend. Visitors were behind in the scoreline from thirteenth minute with a goal from Caraccioli, while the visitors replied with a goal in 53rd minute by Belotti. Home side had a bit more of the game and although the draw was a fair result, they were still a bit closer to get the three pointer."
Coach Giuseppe Iachini spoke of admiration towards Pescara, saying that it’s a team with many very high profile players, with a good coach and all the conditions to end up very high at the table in the end of the championship. Still, he added that he doesn’t like that Palermo will have to play without five players due to international obligations, but still adding that he is confident the team will find a way to respond, finalizing the interview with the sentence that they mustn’t let Pescara exploiting their counter attacks. Midfielder Verre (2/0) and striker Belotti (2/1) are with Italian U21 team, while goalkeeper Ujkani (no participation anyway) is with Albanian squad, defender Andjelkovic (4/1) with Slovenian and finally, striker Hernandez (7/5) is with Uruguayan national team. Dybala and Lafferty are expected to lead attack in a 4-3-1-2 formation.
Pescara, on the other side, is also coming from a draw 1:1 against Spezia at their own stadium on Tuesday night. Hosts opened the scoreline with a goal from Cutolo in 29th minute, but couldn’t hold their lead and conceded in 57th minute with a goal from Bovo. Still, has to be said that the game was a very equal one, with draw being fair result.
General manager Repeto has said that the club’s board continues to have full confidence in the team and the coach, although they understand that the club has to perform at much better level. On the other hand, coach Marino has spoke of injuries and how unlucky the team was till now in the season. He also added that Palermo is the squad with the strongest roster in the league, one of rare that is capable of covering their absentees. Visitors also have a few problems in front of this game, as winger Ragusa (8/1) is suspended for today’s game, while injured are goalkeeper Pelizzoli (6/0) and offensive players Piscitella (4/0) and Sforzini (no participation yet). Defensive midfielder Viviani (4/2) is with the Italian U21 squad, while central defender Zuparic (no participation yet) and Cosic (4/0) are also on international duties. Questionable for this game are midfielder Nielsen (8/1) and striker Maniero (8/4).
Pescara didn’t win in last seven matches played.
Palermo remains favorite even with some players missing, as Pescara simply doesn’t look like a real team early in the season and furthermore, has more absences than the home side. Easy or hard, strongest roster in the league should prevail.
Bet: Palermo Wins
