A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser
Match Preview :
Palermo would be kicking themselves after frustrating Inter Milan in their last match but failing to leave with a single point in that match.
Palermo went through a spell of four draws, but in the last month they have been very inconsistent alternating home wins and away losses.
Palermo beat Sampdoria (2-0) and Catania (3-1) here, but have lost three games on the road, being beaten at Roma (1-4), at Bologna (0-3) with the red card drama, and also losing at Inter Milan (0-1)although that was a much more spirited display against Inter.
Palermo will miss the services of Abel Hernandez and Andrea Mantovani who are long-term absentees and the only absentees for the home side.
Meanwhile, Juventus beat Torino in their last match and Claudio Marchisio and Sebastian Giovinco made a big impact on the field with Giovinco scoring twice as well.
In midweek Juventus defeated Shakhtar Donestk 1-0 which allowed them to win their Champions League group and a result which knocked out Chelsea from the Champions League.
Antonio Conte returns from the stands for this match after serving his suspension.
For Juventus, Simone Pepe remains sidelined, but Nicklas Bendtner and Lucio hope to be in contention to start this match. Meanwhile, Martin Caceres could replace Giorgio Chiellini after the Italian international injured himself in midweek.
