Palermo

WWLWLL

Palermo will be hoping for a better result following a 2-1 Serie B loss in their previous game against Cesena.

In that game, Palermo had 61% possession and 19 attempts at goal with 6 of them on target. The only player to score for Palermo was Niccolò Pierozzi (45'). On the other side, Cesena had 12 shots at goal with 5 on target. Giacomo Calò (37') and Dario Šarić (46') scored for Cesena.

Palermo have been finding it hard to keep clean sheets of late, but they have also managed to convert their own chances into goals. Over their last 6 matches, Palermo have seen their goal breached in 6 of them as well as getting on the scoresheet in 6 of those games. Such a trend might not be carried forward into this match, of course.

Going into this game, the form guide shows that Palermo:

• are unbeaten in the league by Frosinone in their last 2 matches.
• have left without a victory over Frosinone in their last 3 matches in the league.

Frosinone

WDDDLD

In their last game, Frosinone drew 1-1 in the Serie B tie with Cittadella.

In that game, Frosinone managed 54% possession and 21 shots on goal with 4 on target. The scorer for Frosinone was Giuseppe Ambrosino (37'). Cittadella got 10 attempts at goal with 2 of them on target. Orji Okwonkwo (73') was the scorer for Cittadella.

The stats tell the story, and Frosinone have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, conceding 7 goals in total. Defensively, Frosinone can certainly do much better.

Heading into this contest, Frosinone are without an away win for the past 2 league games.

📋 Team News: Palermo

There aren’t many selection issues, with just the sole fitness concern for the Palermo gaffer Alessio Dionisi to be concerned with thanks to an almost full-strength squad. Alfred Gomis (Patellar tendon rupture) will miss out.

It seems likely that Rosaneri will possibly go for a 4-4-2 system this time, beginning the first half with Emil Audero, Salim Diakite, Rayyan Baniya, Dimitrios Nikolaou, Niccolo Pierozzi, Claudio Gomes, Alexis Blin, F. Di Francesco, Jacopo Segre, Matteo Brunori and Joel Pohjanpalo.

📰 Team News: Frosinone

Frosinone boss Paolo Bianco has some current player fitness concerns. Sergio Kalaj (Knock), Ebrima Darboe (Foot surgery) and Ilias Koutsoupias (Adductor injury) are not able to play.

There’s a good chance that Canarini will likely make use of a 4-3-3 lineup using Michele Cerofolini, Jeremy Oyono, Ilario Monterisi, Davide Bettella, Giorgi Kvernadze, B. Lhassine Kone, Fares Ghedjemis, Emil Bohinen, Emanuele Pecorino, Gabriele Bracaglia and Mateus Lusuardi.

✨ Prediction

Palermo will, in all likelihood, dominate possession and create several successful chances.

In contrast, Frosinone may well struggle to find the back of the net but we do fancy them pulling one back during this clash.

We’re therefore expecting to see a comfortable 3-1 win for Palermo when the full-time whistle blows.
