Palermo – Lazio

Palermo Lazio betting previewMonday night football in Serie A, as Palermo and Lazio will square off in Sicily in the 5th round of the league.

The hosts have been a dominant force in Serie B last season and are expected to stay clear of relegation this year (even though they lost Abel Hernandez), but have failed to win a game so far – drawing 3 times and losing once in 4 matches. They did meet decent opposition however, and in the last two matches they held Inter and Napoli to 1-1 and 3-3 draws respectively.

Lazio is in a really bad spot right now, they must improve quickly if they are to have any hope of an European placement. The visitors have lost 3 out of 4 matches, including to goalless defeats to Genoa and Udinese in the alst two rounds (both times 1-0). Lazio can play decent football, but they just can`t get into clear cut finishing positions and lack that killer instinct. Addittionaly, the Roman side has problems with injuries, missing a number of players in the last few matches and that won`t change today.

Lineups:

Palermo: Sorrentino – Andjelkovic, Bamba, Terzi – Morganella, Barreto, Rigoni, Lazaar – Vazquez, Dybala, Belotti

Rome: Marchetti – Konko, Cana, de Vrij, Braafheid – Parolo, Ledesma, Lulic – Candreva, Keita, Djordjevic

I have no doubts that the draw is the most likely scenario here, Palermo is very prone to these kinds of results while Lazio does not seem to have the strength or the form to win this, they also miss a lot of players so I really can`t see the visitors on top today. After holding Inter and Napoli to draws Palermo can surely do the same against Lazio – on the other hand I don`t think the hosts have the quality to push for the three points either, especially with Lazio being desperate to avoid losing for the 4th time in 5 rounds. My tip is the draw, quite simple bet really. The odds on the “X” are actually dropping pretty big, something you don`t see everyday. Prediction: Palermo – Lazio 1-1.
