Palermo form and stats

The story so far in the Serie B for Palermo at their home stadium (Stadio Renzo Barbera) is 7 wins, 5 draws and 3 defeats.

The club members are hoping that Palermo will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the match against Parma (placed 7th). Up until that fixture this club had gone six consecutive league rounds without a loss. The talented striker Soleri outdid all the other players in that fixture and managed a match rating of 7.25 out of 10. Soleri scored one goal and hit one key pass.

Ahead of that match, Palermo won a home game hosting Modena (5-2).

Take note that 12 of the most recent 15 league games from this club have had at least one goal from each side.

Palermo are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 20 goals in 15 games. From these home matches, Palermo have conceded only 13 goals.

Cosenza form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Cosenza so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 2-3-10 (win-draw-lose).

Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Cosenza goalkeeper Alessandro Micai is eager to challenge this, with his 281 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.

Impressive finishing from Nasti secured the home win 1-0 against Pisa in their previous game. It's odd; the match score 1-0 has repeated itself three games in a row! Micai was the team player of the game with the player rating of 8.15. The agile goalkeeper Micai topped it up with a clean sheet.

Before that one, a nice away victory 1-0 at Frosinone.

The visitors have scored 8 goals from 15 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. For Cosenza, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
