Serie C: Girone C: Palermo receive Picerno in what could be an engrossing football fixture. Here's a thorough preview!

Insights:
  • Palermo have the most scored goals in the second half (33) in Serie C: Girone C
  • Palermo have scored at least twice as many goals at home as Picerno have scored away.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Picerno have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 15-11-18 (win-draw-loss) from 44 matches.

It's no vacation for neither Palermo nor Picerno as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
