Catanzaro
Palermo
On April 26, the "Nicola Ceravolo" stadium will host the 35th round match of Serie B in Italy, where "Catanzaro" will face "Palermo". I suggest a bet on goals/cards/winner for this match.
"Catanzaro"
The team spent its seven seasons in the top division of the country in the 70s and 80s of the last century. But they haven't been able to replicate that success, moreover, it was only in 2023 that they managed to rise from the third league. On the other hand, last season they finished fifth in the Serie B final standings and participated in the playoffs, albeit unsuccessfully.
Currently, Fabio Caserta's charges can prepare for a new round of playoffs. They are holding firmly in the top-8, although not particularly impressing with their results, as there are too many draws. However, there were almost no defeats, but they lost to "Cremonese" and "Modena" in spring, while winning only once.
"Palermo"
The club can be considered one of the most popular at this level. And in Sicily, they are clearly not used to seeing their favorites in the second division. But even with such backing as Middle Eastern investors from the "City Group", last season they couldn't achieve more than sixth place in the championship. The last chance, the playoff matches, also didn't bring success.
Currently, the players are coached by Dionisi. It was expected that he would try to restore his reputation, which was tarnished by the regression of "Sassuolo". But even in the new place, Alessio's results are mediocre and unstable. Although chances for success still remained. Especially after victories over "Salernitana" and "Sassuolo". However, they later lost to "Bari".

Catanzaro vs Palermo Prediction
Bookmakers believe that the table neighbors have equal chances of success. We expect goals from them - bet on "total over 2.5 goals" (odds - 2.01).
