Brescia Calcio vs Palermo Match Preview
Newly promoted Brescia were defeated by Parma 2-0, and against Palermo they will find it tough going. Despite players like Diamanti and Caracciolo, Brescia will be looking to hold Palermo at home as they get adjusted to life in Serie A.
Palermo will field Massimo Maccarone in attack, and their goalkeeper Salvatore Sirigu will be in buoyant mood after his Azzurri debut mid-week. A 2-1 Palermo win will be the most likely result.
Brescia Calcio vs Palermo Match Report
Brescia were unfancied going into their clash with Palermo, but they ended up as winners of a pulsating contest. Barely three minutes had elapsed, before Brescia opened the scoring as Simone Dallamano's shot deflected into the goal.
Palermo got back on even terms when Javier Pastore fired home a Mattia Cassani cross in the 23rd minute. Many probably expected a Palermo march to victory once the scores were level, but Brescia took the lead. Eder adeptly controlled a Diamanti pass before converting his chance brilliantly.
Andrea Carraciolo added one more right before half-time from the penalty spot as Brescia left Palermo stunned by taking a commanding two goal lead. The Rosanero did reduce arrears when Balzaretti capitalized on a defensive blunder by Davide Baiocco seven minutes from full-time, but it was not enough.
