Palermo

DWDWLL ⚖

Palermo will be hoping to return to winning ways here after the 3-0 Serie B - Play-offs losing effort in their last game against Catanzaro.

In that match, Palermo managed 55% possession and 9 shots at goal with 1 of them on target. For their opponents, Catanzaro had 13 shots on goal with 6 on target. Pietro Iemmello (1', 15') and Mattia Liberali (41') scored for Catanzaro.

It has not been often in recent games where Palermo have kept a clean sheet. In fact, Palermo have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 matches, giving up 9 goals on the way. Despite that, we will just have to wait and see if the trend shall persist in this next match or not.

In a total of 5 out of the previous 6 clashes involving Catanzaro, three or more goals have gone in. The overall average number of goals per game during that spell is 4, with the number of goals averaged by Catanzaro being 2.5.

📰 Team News: Palermo

It’s our opinion that Rosaneri will probably line up in a 3-4-2-1 formation for the game, utilising Jesse Joronen, Patryk Peda, Mattia Bani, Pietro Ceccaroni, Niccolò Pierozzi, Jacopo Segre, Filippo Ranocchia, Tommaso Augello, Dennis Johnsen, Antonio Palumbo and Joel Pohjanpalo.

ℹ️ Team News: Catanzaro

Thanks to a largely healthy squad, there’s only the lone fitness problem for the Catanzaro manager Alberto Aquilani to contend with. Alphadjo Cissè (Adductor tear) won’t be in action.

From our viewpoint, Aquile del Sud will likely begin the game with a 3-4-2-1 lineup, starting the game with Mirko Pigliacelli, Tommaso Cassandro, Matias Antonini Lui, Nicolo Brighenti, Costantino Favasuli, Jacopo Petriccione, Simone Pontisso, Gabriele Alesi, Mattia Liberali, Pietro Iemmello and Filippo Pittarello.

✨ Prediction

We feel that Palermo certainly have the ability to fashion enough chances to find the net more than once while possibly not conceding against Catanzaro, who may well struggle scoring.

We’re predicting a pretty comfortable 2-0 winning score for Palermo when all’s said and done.
