Brescia will play host to Perugia as part of the Serie B promotion playoffs on Friday.

Brescia are entering the playoff tournament after failing to clinch an automatic qualification to Serie A. They sit in sixth position with 66 points, five adrift of Serie B champions Lecce and three from second-placed Cremonese. Le Rondinelle are hoping to snatch their 24th qualification to the elite division. Their campaign has been plagued by stalemates. They have shared the spoils six times in their last 10 games.

Perugia are the lowest-ranked candidates in the promotion playoffs. They are in eighth spot with 58 points and hold the smallest goal difference of eight goals. The Grifoni have won just one of their last five away fixtures, losing three and drawing once. Brescia did not lose in any of the five games they hosted recently. They won three times and were held twice. Perugia will have to present a better statement in order to stand up to the home side on Saturday.

Brescia are billed as favorites but that has to be proven on the pitch.

Brescia vs Perugia Prediction

Six teams are vying for one spot. The playoffs will determine who ascends to Serie A. That sounds like a long way to go for all involved. However, it remains an open tournament with equal chances. Brescia last played in Serie A in the 2019-20 season. They were knocked out in the 2020-21 promotion playoff preliminary round. Maybe they will sail through this time.

Perugia have played 13 seasons so far in Serie A, with their last appearance in the 2003-04 campaign. We predict that Brescia will get the better of Perugia on this occasion.

Prediction: Brescia 3-1 Perugia
