Palermo
Palermo does not seek to return to Serie A. At least as long as the team is located outside the playoff zone. The Black and Pink are on the 14th line in the standings, with 18 points to their credit. The gap from the relegation zone is small, and is only 3 points. At the same time, the hosts are 4 points behind the playoff zone, so they may well join the fight for the most unexpected results. After a series of setbacks, Palermo managed to beat Benevento 1-0 in the last round.
"Como"
"Como" has not been able to please its fans so far this season. After 15 matches played in Series B, the visiting team is on the 19th line in the standings, with only 15 points to its credit. Lagging behind the saving 16th line, which is occupied by "Cosenza", is only 1 point, so in the very near future the guests will become more active and join the fight for survival. In the match of the last round, Como drew with Ascoli with a score of 3:3.
Statistics and figures:
- The hosts are the favorites of the meeting;Palermo has 3 wins in 5 games;
