📰 Team News: Palermo

Nearly everyone is up for selection, with just the sole fitness concern for the Palermo manager Michele Mignani to be concerned about thanks to an otherwise robust squad. Giuseppe Aurelio (Calf muscle tear) misses out.

ℹ️ Team News: Sampdoria

Sampdoria manager Andrea Pirlo has to currently contend with reduced team options. Ronaldo Vieira (Adductor injury), Estanis Pedrola (Hamstring muscle injury), Alex Ferrari (Cruciate ligament surgery) and Antonio Barreca (Thigh problems) miss out here.

💭 Prediction

We feel that Sampdoria will likely create enough chances to breach the defence of this Palermo outfit, however it realistically won’t be as many as the goals that they could concede.

We reckon that it will be a tight encounter finishing with a 2-1 victory for Palermo when all is said and done.
