Palermo vs Juventus Predictions & Betting Tips, Match Previews

A 4-0 crushing of Cagliari on Wednesday evening ended Juventus’ brief stutter of two matches without a win and a trip to Palermo gives Max Allegri’s side opportunity to improve their position at the top of the Serie A table.

With Juve opening up the weekend’s action they could extend their advantage to four points after just six games of the campaign, despite the fact they lost 2-1 at Inter last weekend.

With Juventus having won 30 of their last 33 league games it’s little wonder they are such strong favourites to beat Palermo, who won 1-0 at Atalanta last time out via a last-minute winner by Ilija Nestorovski to keep their heads above water.

It was their first win of the season and there have been signs of improvement under the team’s latest coach, Roberto De Zerbi.

But hosting Juve is one of the biggest challenges a Serie A side can take and after their easy win over Cagliari there is no longer any reason to doubt Allegri’s men against moderate opposition.

Juventus have been drawing at half-time and winning at full-time in their last four away matches against Palermo in all competitions, which opens up a potential angle for providing free betting tips and predictions.

But with a tricky Champions League game at Dinamo Zagreb coming up in midweek, Juventus will likely want to get an early lead and control the match from a dominant position, as they did against Cagliari.

Juventus have been surprisingly porous at the back in the opening few weeks of the season, with set-pieces a particular vulnerability, but Palermo have only scored three goals in their five league matches.

The hosts are therefore unlikely to pose a lot of threat, so our selection for this Serie A game is Juventus to Win to Nil at 20/21 with bet365. We’ll also take Juventus to Win 3-0 at 13/2 with bet365 as a correct score punt here.
