Palermo
- Palermo have won 3, drawn 1 and lost 1 of their last five Serie B matches.
- Palermo have not lost at home in their last two games (Won 1, Drawn 1).
Avellino
Avellino have won 3 and lost 2 of their last 5 Serie B games.
Head-to-Head
The last head-to-head in Serie B between these two teams finished 2-2 at Avellino three months ago and there was no shame in the draw.
Key Players
-
Palermo
- The Rosanero are relentless in their attacking approach and have a reliable goal-scorer in Joel Pohjanpalo, who has 21 goals in 32 Serie B appearances and scored three in his last five.
- Inzaghi can always rely on Pohjanpalo to chase the game down and he will be well supported by Edoardo Soleri’s pressing and movement from the front two.
-
Avellino
- Tommaso Biasci, with 12 goals in 29 Serie B outings, is Avellino’s talisman and he could be the danger man for Palermo to watch on Sunday.
- Gianmario Comi is also a useful frontman, with a physical presence in the forward line and hold-up play that could be crucial to Avellino’s chances of counter-attacking successfully.
Betting Insights
- The odds say it all when considering a Palermo home win on Sunday - 1.5 - because the Sicilians are clear favorites to earn the three points in their Serie B game of the 2025/2026 season.
- The odds of 1.77 for Palermo to win and both teams to score - No look very tight for an away side that have won just three of 16 Serie B away trips in 2025/2026.
- We are going to leave it at a home win with over 2.5 goals in the game at 1.83.
Prediction
Our selection for this game is Palermo to win and both teams to score - No because we think Ballardini’s team will struggle to get any joy going forward against a resilient Rosanero defence that has shipped only 10 goals in 16 Serie B assignments this season.
