Serie B Predictions: Gameweek 27: 21/02-23/02
Sassuolo will continue their hunt for a place in Serie A next season when they face Sampdoria away from home on Friday night. The league leaders are in fine form, having won four of their last five league matches, and can extend the gap at the top of the standings to 10 points against Sampdoria.
Second-placed Pisa will welcome Juve Stabia on Saturday, knowing that a win will see them remain in 2nd place behind Sassuolo. Carrarese will build on their latest win after ending a series of defeats last weekend with a win over Salernitana.
This week’s Serie B 2024/25 gameweek 27 predictions were based on current form, data and expert knowledge.
Serie B 2024/25 gameweek 27 predictions: 21/02/2025 - 23/02/2025
Sassuolo to continue their winning run: Sampdoria vs Sassuolo
- Date: 21/02/2025
- Kick-off: 20:30
- Sassuolo thrashed Sampdoria 5-1 in the reverse fixture, and they are likely to repeat the same, as Sampdoria haven’t improved since the last meeting.
Sampdoria are fighting against relegation after 26 league matches, and their current form doesn’t suggest they have the quality to stop the Serie B leaders from doing the league double over them, having already lost the reverse fixture away. The scoreline may not be as embarrassing as the first leg, but expecting the visitors to win again is not a stretch.
Sampdoria vs Sassuolo prediction: Away team to win
Cittadella and Modena to struggle in the final third: Cittadella vs Modena
- Date: 22/02/2025
- Kick-off: 15:00
- Both teams struggle to find the back of the net when they cross paths, and we expect the same to happen in the upcoming game.
Cittadella and Modena have crossed paths on many occasions in this competition, but their last nine league meetings ended in the same pattern. Less than three goals were scored in each of their previous nine league matches, and their current struggles in the final third this term suggest the upcoming game will lack goals too.
Cittadella vs Modena prediction: Under 2.5 goals
Mantova and Bari will lack ideas in the attacking half: Mantova vs Bari
- Date: 22/02/2025
- Kick-off: 15:00
- Both teams struggle to delight their fans with goals when they meet, and the upcoming game has a high chance of ending like the reverse fixture.
Both teams have met three times in Serie B, and all meetings ended with less than three goals. Bari have one of the best defenses in the competition, and their attack is not so bright. Both clubs will play safe, and the hosts struggling to score goals also hint that the upcoming game will be drab.
Mantova vs Bari prediction: Under 2.5 goals
Reggiana and Carrarese to share the spoils: Reggiana vs Carrarese
- Date: 22/02/2025
- Kick-off: 15:00
- Both teams are fond of sharing the spoils when they cross paths, and their current form hints that the upcoming game may end in a stalemate.
Reggiana and Carrarese shared the spoils in their last four Serie B meetings in a row, and their current form doesn’t suggest either team can get the win. The visitors lost four of their last five league matches, to say the least, while the hosts have endured mixed results, winning just once in their last five games. Given this data, we can safely anticipate a cagey match.
Reggiana vs Carrarese prediction: Draw
Pisa to bounce back to winning ways: Pisa vs Juve Stabia
- Date: 22/02/2025
- Kick-off: 15:00
- Juve Stabia’s struggles in the final third may see them fall short against a Pisa side with one of the best defenses in the competition.
In this competition, Juve Stabia struggles to score more than one goal per game, which isn’t enough to avoid a defeat against a Pisa side that averaged over 2.0 goals scored per game. There’s a huge difference in form between both teams, and expecting the hosts to return to winning ways isn’t a stretch.
Pisa vs Juve Stabia prediction: Home team to win
Cremonese and Cesena to exchange goals: Cremonese vs Cesena
- Date: 22/02/2025
- Kick-off: 17:15
- Both teams have conceded more goals than matches played, and it is understandable if one expects at least one goal from each team in the upcoming game.
Cremonese scored 38 goals and conceded 27 goals in 26 league matches, while Cesena scored 34 goals and conceded 35 goals in 26 games. Both teams averaged over 1.5 goals scored and goals conceded per game, so we can anticipate at least one goal from each side.
Cremonese vs Cesena prediction: Both teams to score - yes
Spezia to bounce back to winning ways: Spezia vs Catanzaro
- Date: 23/02/2025
- Kick-off: 15:00
- Spezia have the best defense in the competition, and Catanzaro are unlikely to go through.
Spezia have conceded only 18 goals in 26 matches this term, and because Catanzaro struggle to score at least two goals per game, we think the hosts, who average over 1.5 goals scored per game, can manage this encounter to a slim 1-0 victory.
Spezia vs Catanzaro prediction: Home team to win
Brescia and Suditrol to exchange goals: Brescia vs Suditrol
- Date: 23/02/2025
- Kick-off: 15:30
- Matches involving these two teams rarely finish with both teams scoring, and there’s a decent chance the same can be repeated in the upcoming game.
Brescia and Suditrol have struggled to keep clean sheets in Serie B this season, as the former scored 31 goals and conceded 36 goals in 26 league matches, while the latter scored 31 goals and conceded 43 goals. Both teams play attacking football, so expect the upcoming game to entertain fans.
Brescia vs Suditro prediction: Both teams to score - yes
Palermo to bounce back to winning ways: Cosenza vs Palermo
- Date: 23/02/2025
- Kick-off: 15:00
- Palermo may have endured mixed results lately, but they have a big chance of getting back to winning ways this weekend.
Cosenza are at the bottom of the Serie B standings, thanks to their disappointing performances this term. They lost four of their last five league matches, to say the least, and are unlikely to miraculously turn their form around against a Palermo side that is pushing for a top-six finish. The visitors may not be in good shape currently, but they should be able to outscore the hosts.
Cosenza vs Palermo prediction: Away team to win
Salernitana and Frosinone to struggle in the final third: Salernitana vs Frosinone
- Date: 23/05/2025
- Kick-off: 17:15
- Both teams have struggled to maintain consistency this season, thanks to their blunt attack, and we expect the upcoming game to lack goals.
Salernitana and Frosinone averaged less than 1.0 goals scored per game and rarely conceded two or more goals per game. Both teams struggle in the final third, and there are ideas that this encounter may end with one goal or two. However, we can expect less than three goals to be scored in this encounter.
