Venue: Stadio Libero Liberati (22000 seats)

Victory alone will be enough for the Ternana followers in this Stadio Libero Liberati battle with Palermo, seeing as they have a solid lead on them in the Serie B standings.

Insights:
  • Ternana have not yet lost a game at home.
  • Palermo have yet to win a game away.

These teams have little in common geographically as Palermo have to travel 900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

It's back home for Ternana, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Cittadella away with the result 2-0. Palumbo and Coulibaly found the net in that victory.

Palermo form and stats

Still no away game victory in the Serie B for Palermo with 1 draw and 2 losses from their first 3 attempts. Palermo seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

The attacking players of Palermo have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 221 minutes.

The manager Corini was unhappy after their last game, played at their home stadium Stadio Renzo Barbera. Palermo suffered a 0-1 loss to Sudtirol (placed 10th). Midfield player Damiani was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.4/10. Damiani dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 44 successful passes (of 52 total).

A 0-1 defeat away at Frosinone before that.
