Palermo v Cesena : Serie B match betting preview, prediction and odds

Sat 18th Apr, 16:15 BST, Renzo Barbera, Palermo

Saturday afternoon sees Filippo Inzaghi’s Palermo and Michele Mignani’s Cesena go up against one another in a Serie B clash at the Renzo Barbera. Our predictions for each betting market are based on the past 20 games each side has played (home, away and overall) with extra weighting given to top teams. All the statistics and graphics are tailored for the betting market in question. Head-to-head stats for this fixture are also given if there is some fixture history. Odds are provided straight from from leading bookmakers.


Best Tip: Palermo to win

As the Palermo players ready themselves for this clash, the bookmakers are predicting success for them. The odds and our pre-match statistics below also point that way, as does the historical head-to-head (H2H) information we factor into our predictive algorithms. The Renzo Barbera has not been an easy place to go for Cesena in the past, and we expect more of the same come Saturday afternoon. A win / draw / win home win is the way to go.
