Insights:
  • Palermo haven’t played a single 0-0 game at home.
  • Viterbese Castrense have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

It's no vacation for neither Palermo nor Viterbese Castrense 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.

These teams have little in common geographically as Viterbese Castrense have to travel 1000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
