Palermo welcome the visitors Salernitana in the Italian Serie B – Round 20. The match will be held on Friday, January 18th, at the Stadio Renzo Barbera (Palermo).
In the last season, Palermo were about to progress to the Serie A, they only had to win Frosinone in the relegation playoffs – in the 1st encounter, they won 2:1 at home and lost 2:0 in the equalizer. Now, going by their record, the club are not keen on carrying up to playoffs. Palermo lead the table with a 5-point breakaway from the 2nd place, demonstrating the most thoughtful performance in the championship.

The visiting Salernitana managed to attain only 4 points in the last 6 matches wherein they contrived to concede even to the 16th Carpi. The lean record rolled the team back to the 11th line. In the last fixture, they featured another loss – against Pescara.
Palermo lost only once in this campaign, yet in the 5th round, out. In front of their own fans, of 9 matches, they gained 6 wins and 3 draws. In almost half of the clashes (4), they kept a clean sheet. The team’s ambition is to progress to the elite division with no relegation playoffs this time. So, Palermo look to pick up as many points as possible in all fixtures, especially home ones. Their Friday opponent are far from being called the strongest in the league; above this, the visitors are currently under crisis. Besides, Salernitana have recently been a very comfortable side for Palermo. In 3 latest opponents’ head-to-heads, Palermo registered 2 wins and 1 draw, on Salernitana’s turf though.
Considering this record, as well as Palermo’s aggressive attacking play (31 goals scored), their confident defense (13 goals allowed in 17 rounds), and Salernitana’s weak defensive performance in outings (only 6 goals netted in 8 trips, moreover, half of the away matches saw no Salernitana’s goals at all), the leader will most likely celebrate another, 11th, win in the league.
Prediction for the match: Palermo to win home.
