Palermo form and stats

4-5-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Serie C: Girone C numbers at home for Palermo so far this season. Palermo have played two draws in a row on their own stadium.

Palermo are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-1 away versus Avellino. Before that, Palermo drew at home versus Ternana.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Palermo's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played ten games, won two matches, drawn six and lost two.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Palermo as they are travelling to their away game against Turris Neapolis in the Serie C: Girone C. That match is four days after this one.

Palermo are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 16 goals in 12 games. On the other hand, Palermo have conceded 13 goals.

Bisceglie form and stats

There's been little loot from Bisceglie's travels as they have only collected 7 points from 11 away games in the Serie C: Girone C. Bisceglie, who have the most conceded goals (22) away in Serie C: Girone C, only have 1 win to counter their 6 defeats and 4 draws. Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in ten away games in a row.

It's another away game for the visitors, as they travelled to Turris Neapolis (placed 11th) in their previous outing. The Serie C: Girone C match ended in a draw 2-2. Preceding that match was the 1-1 draw at home vs Avellino.

Drawing 2-2 against Turris Neapolis after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager A. Papagni needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Bisceglie playing away, we found eight games. Results were two away wins, three draws and three home wins.

A new game in only four days for Bisceglie, the Serie C: Girone C home match versus Viterbese Castrense. Busy days.

Bisceglie have scored 12 goals on their travels this season, from 11 away games in the league. The Bisceglie manager A. Papagni has some worries about the defense as 22 goals have been conceded in these travels.
