Siena - Palermo Italy - Serie A Prediction

Siena - Palermo
10.05 15:00
By beating Napoli in the last round, Siena have secured the survival. It is a logical conclusion of a season in which Sennesi were expected to have a lot of problems. Still, as we have already mentioned on these pages that, even despite the departure of several players, hiring young coach Giampaolo was an excellent move. Black-Whites were excellent at home where they don’t concede a lot of goals. This team has given its best and everyone agrees with that. Now, when they reached the tally of 40 points, they can finally relax. Still ne have to mention that this will be a important game for Palermo. The Sicilians gave Cagliari a real lesson and they have once again confirmed this is their season and don’t get surprised if they end the season at the sixth place. They are also excellent at home and the euphoric Zamparini announced that this team will set a high aim next year – Champions League. It thye keep all the players together and bring a couple of new, it will not be impossible.
Siena will have to sell again
That is how small clubs survive, a cruel reality. Chairman De Luca doesn’t have a choice, he will have to give up on the excellent Columbian Zuniga, maybe even Portanova who is on West Ham’s wishlist. So far, Giampaolo is reportedly staying in, but there are some information saying that one of the major outfits, Milan, Juventus, Roma or Lazio would like to welcome him. This summer will be a stage of many bench changes across Italy. Young expert has established himself working at the minnows and always managing to save them and get them out of the gutter until he came to Siena. For this game, Siena will have almost full squad available, Maccarone and keeper Curci are coming back in. They will play without any pressure and even if they lose it will mean nothing to them. Since Torino and Bologna have to compete for the remaining safe spot, Sennesi will survive no matter what happens. The tally of 40 points is the one that guarantees survival with any possible scenario.
Palermo in the rapture
New team with eighth players that were brought to become regular players is sitting on the seventh place and, had they been more gelled up, they could’ve done better. Still, after the opening round, Ballardini arrived to replace Colantuon and didn’t go through the prep period with the squad. this year marked the definite confirmation that the young expert is slowly becoming one of the leading managers of the new generation. It is not easy to work in Palermo, most of all because Zamparini, and we have to give a huge credit to Ballardini. The demonstration of force on the poor Cagliari proves that this team possesses a huge potential. They have been playing weaker with minnows away, mostly because of the inexperience and the lack of courage, but they managed to make it all up at Barbera. They are a point behind Roma and it wouldn’t be strange if they booked the ticket to Europe. Apart from Carozzieri who is suspended for using drugs, unfit Bresciano is also missing. Interestingly enough, ever since they reached the elite company, Palermo have never lost at Franchi.
Betting verdict
Try small stake on Plaermo. They are on the uptrend and have a lot of confidence which will be enough to beat the absent-minded Siena. Triumph over Napoli has resolved it all and they only need to sit and wait for the well-deserved rest. First part of the season brought a defeat at Barbera. Giampaolo will field his best squat, but they will lack motivation and we believe that Palermo are closer to winning the game.
Tip: Palermo, Odds 2.5;
