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.
