Palermo form and stats

Perfect Serie D: Girone I season at home so far for Palermo 2 wins from 2 appearances. Palermo has a nice streak going on as they have played twelve consecutive games without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Pescara defeat 185 days ago. In general it's been a long time since Palermo tasted defeat here at Stadio Renzo Barbera, as they have taken at least one point from their last ten home games.

A good away victory last time out for Palermo, who won 1-0 against FC Messina (placed 12th). Ahead of that match, Palermo won a home game hosting Marina di Ragusa (3-1).

Palermo are huge favourites in this match and it would be a big surprise if they fail to leave Stadio Renzo Barbera with maximum points. The home side has been in this situation before, with huge expectations of a win. seven earlier games are comparable to this one, and Palermo has won 6 times, drawn 1 and lost 0.
