Serie B: We're previewing an action-packed and highly important match featuring Palermo and Pisa at Stadio Renzo Barbera. Both teams need the win!
- Palermo haven’t played a single 0-0 game.
- Pisa have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1200 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
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!
Palermo form and stats
Palermo have collected 6 points from their Serie B home games so far after 2-0-2. Palermo has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager Corini and the players.
Times are rough for the home team, having gone 311 minutes without scoring a league goal. Brunori was the last player to find the net.
The club members are hoping that Palermo will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-3 away loss in the match against Ternana (placed 3rd). Midfield player Štulac got a match rating of 6.95 in that game, the max score being 10. Štulac dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times.
Before that game, the home loss against Sudtirol with the scoreline 0-1.This is expected to be a close game, with Palermo perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Palermo as a small favourite), we find 5 games. Palermo has won 2 of these, drawn 1 and lost 2.
A fact: This team have played 5 league matches in a row with only one (or none) team scoring.
Palermo are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 5 goals in 4 games.
