Padova
- While Palermo have been in blistering form, winning their last 5 in all competitions, Padova have won two, drawn one, and lost two of their last 5.

- Marco Pompetti is the biggest threat to the Palermo goal for Padova with 1 goal from 4 Serie B 2026/2027 appearances, however, they will need a bit more cutting edge to unlock a Palermo defense that has been rock solid so far.

Prediction
- A home win is expected due to Palermo's form, home advantage, and their control of the head-to-head, however, Padova's compact shape could keep it competitive for the first 60 minutes or so.
- If Palermo can get the opener, then the Biancoscudati could find themselves in trouble in the second half, so the Palermo win and both teams to score a goal looks the best option in the alternate markets.
