Bitesize Prediction: Venezia vs Palermo – 08/05/26

Competition: Serie B

Market: Both teams to score

Odds: 8/11 @ 1xBet

Looking to officially be crowned as Serie B champions on Friday night, Venezia will welcome Palermo to the Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo for what could be an action-packed affair.

Starting with the hosts, while Venezia might have lost their Serie A status with a whimper last season, the Winged Lions have cruised their way to an immediate top-flight return in 2026. Embarking on a real Serie B romp, Giovanni Stroppa’s high-flying squad have already punched their promotion ticket with time to spare. Opening Friday’s finale holding a one-point buffer at the top of the table, the Veneto-based outfit can officially be crowned as champions this weekend. While the former Cremonese boss might have seen his high-flying squad eventually settle for a thrilling 2-2 stalemate away at Spezia last time out, Venezia are unbeaten in all of their previous 13 consecutive Serie B showdowns – a purple patch that’s stems all the way back to February 10th. Marking their return from March’s international break with a thumping 3-1 victory against Juve Stabia, Friday’s hosts have also continued to shine with their clinical performances in the final third.

As for the visitors, while Palermo might have long since accepted that they are unable to punch an automatic promotion spot, the Rosanero are enjoying their own extended flurry. Last seen getting May underway with a rollercoaster 3-2 victory at home against Catanzaro, Filippo Inzaghi’s men have already wrapped up their play-off ticket with plenty of time to spare. Looking to upset the party this weekend and sign off their regular-season adventure with a major statement of intent, the Sicily-based outfit are unbeaten in all of their previous seven consecutive Serie B appearances (four wins, three draws). In fact, a 3-0 drumming against Monza on March 14th is the only second-tier defeat that Palermo have suffered from their last 10 outings. It should also be highlighted, with Friday’s guests seeing three of their previous four showdowns finish with both teams getting on the scoresheet, we are expecting what could be an enjoyable season finale from the Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo this weekend.
