Our Predictions
Palermo’s home edge and recent improvements suggest they’ll edge this one, but their defense isn’t rock-solid. The odds favor a narrow win, and the low scoring fits a cautious, tactical opener with few goals.
Reggiana has the resilience to frustrate Palermo, especially at home. Both teams scoring plus a goal or two makes this plausible—likely a close, high-energy draw with goals on both sides.
Reggiana might just spoil the party with a surprise away victory, especially if their attacking form continues. Both teams scoring and a few goals makes this a bold but intriguing pick.
