🗞️ Team News: Ascoli
It’s a low absenteeism rate, with just the sole fitness concern for the Ascoli boss William Viali to be concerned about thanks to an almost full-strength set of players. Aljaz Tavcar (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) misses out.
It’s our opinion that Bianconeri could kick off with a 4-3-2-1 system for this game featuring Emiliano Viviano, Brian Bayeye, Giuseppe Bellusci, Danilo Quaranta, Samuel Giovane, Francesco Di Tacchio, Eddy Gnahore, Tommaso Milanese, Giacomo Manzari, Pablo Rodriguez and Pedro Mendes.
📰 Team News: Palermo
Owing to an otherwise available squad, there is only a single fitness worry for the Palermo manager Eugenio Corini to be concerned with. Alessio Buttaro (Distortion of the ankle) won’t be playing here.
We believe Rosaneri could decide to utilise a 4-3-3 lineup, settling for Mirko Pigliacelli, Ales Mateju, Fabio Lucioni, Pietro Ceccaroni, Giuseppe Aurelio, Liam Henderson, Leo Stulac, Jacopo Segre, F. Di Francesco, Matteo Brunori and Francesco Di Mariano.
💭 Prediction
We’ve got the feeling that Ascoli will have their work cut out to score against this Palermo lineup who we think should score & stay on top.
That’s why our selection here is for a good battle with a 0-1 winning margin for Palermo at the end of the 90 minutes.
A close call.
