Chievo vs Palermo Betting Tips and Predictions

Chievo have looked good recently. Since slipping up by losing at Verona in February, Rolando Maran’s team have taken seven points from their last four games, including a 0-0 draw at home to Milan, with their only defeat coming against the title contenders Napoli. At home Chievo have been particularly strong, losing only once in their last seven games at Stadio Marc’Antonio Bentegodi, which was a 4-0 loss to league leaders Juventus. While it is clear Chievo do not have enough quality in their squad to trouble top sides, they usually come out on top against the worst teams in the league – of which Palermo certainly are one.

A run of nine league games without a win has seen Palermo slip into the relegation zone as a result of Carpi’s victory over Frosinone last week. Yet another change in the dugout means Walter Novellino is now the man charged with keeping Palermo in the top flight, which looks an increasingly tough task. Palermo have struggled in their visits to Chievo in recent years and there is little in their form to suggest they can win this year either.

Chievo are ninth in the league and, while it is unlikely they could climb higher, wins in games like this could see them push the likes of Lazio and AC Milan in the closing weeks of the season. Palermo should be easily beaten by Maran’s men, but Chievo matches do not tend to feature a lot of goals. Despite the slight lack of firepower in the hosts’ ranks they should take three points here, so we are tipping Chievo to win at 11/10 with bet365. If you fancy a go on the correct score market, how about Chievo to win 1-0 at 6/1 with bet365.
