Competition: Serie B
Market: Palermo win
Odds: 2/3 @ 1xBet
Two camps who find themselves scrapping it out at opposite ends of the Serie B table, Palermo will welcome Mantova to the Stadio Renzo Barbera on Wednesday night.
Starting with the hosts, eventually falling to a 2-1 loss away at Pescara last time out, Palermo will be seeking an immediate response here. Nevertheless, opening the midweek fixtures sat in pole position to claim a play-off ticket in 2026, Filippo Inzaghi’s side can move within touching distance of the automatic promotion spots. Signing off February with a dominant display at the Stadio Renzo Barbera with a thumping 3-0 victory against Sudtirol, the Eagles will be smelling a golden opportunity on Wednesday night. In fact, the Sicily-based outfit have suffered just a sole defeat from any of their previous 15 consecutive appearances across all competitions – a run that stems all the way back to November 8th. It should also be highlighted, Palermo have gained a fearsome reputation for their extended dominance on home soil. Including another 3-0 romp against Entella last month, Wednesday’s hosts have won all of their previous eight straight showdowns in front of their own supporters.
As for the visitors, suffering last-gasp heartbreak at home against Carrarese over the weekend as they eventually had to settle for a 1-1 stalemate, Mantova find themselves at the heart of a Serie B relegation scrap in 2026. Opening the midweek fixtures sat two points adrift of safety, Francesco Modesto’s side will be bracing themselves for a stern examination when they travel to the Stadio Renzo Barbera. Last seen on their travels getting hit with a 2-0 defeat against Catanzaro on February 14th, the Lombardy-based outfit have recorded just a trio of wins from any of their previous 14 Serie B showdowns. Likewise, along with suffering back-to-back defeats on the road, Mantova have registered just a sole victory away from the Stadio Danilo Martelli since the start of November. Two camps who find themselves scrapping it out at opposite ends of the Serie B standings, we are backing a home victory on Wednesday night.
