Palermo
Carrarese
On April 21, the Renzo Barbera Stadium will host the 34th round match of Serie B in Italy, where Palermo will face Carrarese. I propose a bet on goals/cards/winner for this match.
Palermo
The team was long associated with Zamparini. But after quite bright, though controversial years, various problems followed. Ultimately, it ended with a fall to a practically semi-amateur level and a gradual rise - already with Middle Eastern investors from the City Group. As a result, they could have returned to Serie A in 2024. However, in the regular season, they only took sixth place and did not succeed in the playoffs.
Now, Dionisi's wards are trying to salvage an overall fairly mediocre season. And at the turn of March and April, they secured a couple of important victories over Salernitana and Sassuolo. But in the last round, they lost again, this time to Bari.
Carrarese
The club missed almost 80 consecutive years in Serie B. They managed to return only in 2024. And not directly; moreover, they were third in their group. But then they managed to pass the extremely difficult playoff sieve and still secure a notable ticket.
The newcomer was, of course, initially an underdog. But they started collecting points almost from the very first matches - they defeated Südtirol back in August. By spring, it became clear that this team would definitely remain in this division for the next season. Nevertheless, they also snagged a point against Catanzaro, finishing 2-2.
Match Facts
- Palermo won twice in their last three matches
- On average, Palermo scores 1.33 goals and concedes 1.12 goals per match
- Carrarese lost only one of their last eight games
Head-to-Head
In December, the teams played each other for the first time. Shpendi's single goal secured the victory for the hosts.
Palermo vs Carrarese Prediction
Bookmakers believe in the home team. But they are still extremely unstable, while the visitors consistently pick up points in the spring. It's worth betting on their away win on Monday evening with a handicap of "+1.0 goals" (odds - 1.65).
