This match features two teams living in the basement of the Serie D: Girone I, Roccella holding 15th place and Palmese lying 18th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
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.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Palmese have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 6-9-18 (win-draw-loss) from 33 matches.

Palmese form and stats
Palmese have only collected 1 point from their away games in the Serie D: Girone I, after 0-1-5 (6 played). Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Palmese's last three away games as they have all been lost.
The attacking players of Palmese have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 245 minutes.
Palmese delivered a 0-0 draw playing at home against Palermo (placed 1st) in their previous match; a Serie D: Girone I game. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Marina di Ragusa wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.
There's been a serious shortage of goals from Palmese's away games in the league this season with only 3 goals from 6 matches. The Palmese manager has some worries about the defense as 12 goals have been conceded in these travels.
Head 2 Head
