Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Palermo in 9th and Virtus Francavilla in 12th place.
- Palermo have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Virtus Francavilla has the most points from losing position (10) in Serie C: Girone C
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Palermo form and stats
When playing at home in the Serie C: Girone C, Palermo have managed 4 wins, 3 draws and suffered 2 defeats from 9 games.
Palermo enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Cavese's place. The match ended 1-0 with N. Rauti scoring. In the match before that, Palermo hosted Bari 1908 and drew the game 1-1.
Manager R. Pergolizzi felt very clever after N. Rauti scored the winning goal against Cavese, having brought on that player as a substitute in the 66th minute. Some amazing scenes last match, when N. Rauti scored the winning goal three minutes into stoppage time.
The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Palermo's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played eight games, won two matches, drawn five and lost one.
The Palermo fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 13 in 9 matches. 9 goals have been conceded.
Virtus Francavilla form and stats
Virtus Francavilla have only collected 7 points from their away games in the Serie C: Girone C, after 1-4-3 (8 played). It's three draws from Virtus Francavilla's last three away games, a decent catch but one that could be so much better.
Virtus Francavilla has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Viterbese Castrense for a Serie C: Girone C game that ended a draw (2-2). A home win before that, celebrating 2-1 vs Bisceglie.
Looking at the earlier recent performances of Francavilla when being an outsider away as they are today, we find two matches with the visitors losing zero times, drawing zero and winning two games.
The visitors have scored 7 goals from 8 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Francavilla have conceded 8 goals in these away matches.
