3rd position in the Serie B table for Palermo so far, a good performance. The home supporters hope for more joy as 7th-placed Spezia visits Stadio Renzo Barbera.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
This pitch has grass, which is not Spezia's usual surface at their own ground.

Spezia have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1300 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
