Struggling Palmese will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Troina in the upcoming league round. It’s 18th vs 3rd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Palmese form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Serie D: Girone I this season. Palmese, who have the most conceded goals (20) at home in Serie D: Girone I, have only managed 1 win, 2 draws and 6 losses from their games here at Stadio Giuseppe Lopresti. All in all it has been a very rough period for Palmese who hasn’t won a game in their last eleven attempts. Their previous win was against Corigliano Calabro, 91 days ago. With Palmese having lost three times in a row here, the pressure is increasing on the manager .
The fans are hoping that Palmese will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the Serie D: Girone I game against Citta di Messina (placed 4th). Ahead of that match, Palmese lost 1-2 at home to Acireale.
The Palmese fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 10 in 9 matches. Palmese have conceded 20 goals in these home games, a significant number.
Troina form and stats
The visitors are W5-D1-L4 on the road this term. That's in the Serie D: Girone I.
225 minutes! That's how long the Troina goalkeeper and his defense have shut out their league opponents.
The supporters enjoyed Troina's previous game versus SSC Giugliano (placed 5th), a Serie D: Girone I 1-0 win played at home. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Corigliano Calabro wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.
Troina are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 11 away goals from 10 games (in the league). As opposed to that, Troina have seen the ball go into their own net 11 times on the road.
