Venue: Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia (13602 seats)

Creeping up on the top teams is at stake when these mid-table teams meet. Both will be aiming to strenghten their league table standing, Como in 13th and Palermo in 10th place.

Insights:
  • Como haven’t played a single 0-0 game at home.
  • Palermo have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

Palermo have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1500 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.

We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!

Como form and stats

Como have collected 27 points from their Serie B home games so far after 7-6-4. With three draws from their last three games overall it has been a case of neither great nor terrible for Como.

Como drew their last game, also a home match. Ascoli (placed 11th) was the opponent, 1-1 the score. Cerri felt an ounce or two of guilt after the draw against Ascoli as the player was unable to convert a penalty kick in the 76th minute.

A 2-2 draw away before that, with Bari 1908 the opponent.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Como have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 8 games) they have won 4 times, drawn 3 and lost 1.

Como are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 24 goals in 17 games. On the other hand, Como have conceded 18 goals.

Palermo form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Palermo so far with only 16 points returning home. The records show 3-7-7 (win-draw-lose). Palermo has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

Palermo delivered a 1-1 draw playing at home against Benevento (placed 20th) in their previous fixture. Sala got a match rating of 7.53 in that game, top player of the team. Sala scored one goal, hit three key passes and dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Venezia wasn't a success with a 2-3 loss.

Palermo are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 2 wins, 3 draws and 2 defeats. From a total of 7 matches.

Take note! Both sides have scored in 8 of this club's last 10 league fixtures.

Palermo find the net regularly in their away games. 21 goals from 17 away fixtures in the league. In the opposite end, Palermo have conceded 29 goals in their away games.

Head 2 Head

The most up to date reported result involving both these teams is the Palermo - Como 0-0 played previously this season.
