The best Palermo vs Spezia predictions and picks

Palermo to win

Palermo have arguably been the best team in Serie B this season and if they win their two games in hand they will move to the top of the table. After drawing their opening game of the season, Palermo have won six out of seven matches and will be confident of making that seven in eight on Monday. Spezia shouldn’t prove to be too much of a challenge for Palermo and have already lost four games this season.

BTTS – No

Palermo’s strong start to the season has been built on a rock-solid defence and only one team in the division has conceded fewer goals than them. Only four goals have gone past the Palermo defence thus far and they kept a clean sheet last time out against Modena. Spezia, meanwhile, are struggling for goals and have only found the back of the net six times in eight Serie B games this season.

Palermo to score first

Palermo have scored the first goal in five of their last seven matches which demonstrates what they are all about. Eugenio Corini likes his team to score early and then pick their opponents off on the counter attack for the rest of the match and that will be the plan again here. Spezia aren’t exactly quick starters either which makes Palermo the sensible bet here.

Palermo vs Spezia: Preview and team news

Palermo

After being excluded from Serie B in 2019, Palermo have had to rebuild from Serie D upwards over the past few seasons and they now find themselves in a position where a return to Serie A is once again a realistic possibility. Their start to the season has been impressive, with goals shared around the team. A win on Monday and their fans will be dreaming of games at the San Siro once more.

Spezia

Talking of games at the San Siro, it was only last season that Spezia were in Italy’s top flight. After losing the relegation playoff, the club have found it difficult to get going again and have had a poor start to life in Serie B. They still have plenty of players in their ranks who played in Serie A last season and it’s about time they got their act together.
