Competition: Italy Serie B
Date: Thu 26.December
Match begins: 14:00 (UTC)
Venue: Stadio Polisportivo Provinciale (7148 seats)

The visiting Perugia side should be favourites in this visit to Trapani, as the away team holds a 12 point advantage from their 17 league games this season.

These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Serie B. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Pescara.

Perugia have a very long trip to this away game, as there's more than 1100 kilometers in distance to cover. This could prove a challenge, at least for the supporters.
