AC Milan can climb to the 3rd spot in the Serie A with a win against Palermo, but they meet a side that is surely capable of upsets.
Milan is looking pretty good under Inzaghi and could actually be higher in the standings if not for the defensive errors that seem to appear in every game. AC Milan has the second best offense in the Serie A with 18 goals scored, but they are conceding well over 1 goal per game (12 in 9 matches). The last two games however have been a little bit different, as Milan had to settle for two 1-1 draws against Cagliari and Fiorentina – they had their chances however, and will look to be more effective against Palermo.
The visitors were utterly dominant in Serie B last year and despite losing top marksman Hernandez they are looking good value to escape relegation this season. Palermo is currently on the 15th place in the standings and, just like Milan, they could be higher if not for some terrible defending (17 goals allowed in 9 matches). Palermo is on the back of a 1-0 win over Chievo.
Bet on AC Milan – Palermo with the best Serie A odds at Pinnacle Sports.
Team news: AC Milan will have to do without Montolivo and Muntari, while Bonaventura is doubtful. Shaarawy, Torres and Honda are expected to be the chosen starters of Inzaghi’s offensive trio. Regarding Palermo, they will be happy to report a clean bill of health ahead of this clash.
Both sides are coming after 2 consecutive matches with under 2,5 goals and that is why the odds on the over are going up, but I expect a high scoring clash here. With just a little bit more effectiveness in front of goal Milan surely must be able to score at least two goals against this bad Palermo defense, they are creating chances, just not converting them lately. Palermo on the other hand has the strength to score as well, Milan is shaky at the back. Expect an open game, Milan really needs the three points and Palermo will relish the counterattacking game. My tip is over 2,5 goals. Both to score might also be a good choice, but I don`t like the Both to score bet, I am counting on an open game and who knows, maybe one side will be lucky to bag all three goals. Prediction: AC Milan – Palermo 2-1.
