The home team returns to Stadio Renzo Barbera after drawing with Cittadella (placed 14th) on their last time out; the game ended 3-3. Trouble was brewing at the score 0-2 against Cittadella last time out, but a goal from Mariano completed a comeback to a draw result for Palermo. Mariano (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 8.1/10. Mariano scored two goals and hit one key pass.
A 1-1 draw away before that, with Pisa the opponent.This is expected to be a close game, with Palermo perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage.
