Palermo FCvsFrosinone Calcio

Palermo's Home Advantage

Palermo FC, currently sitting in 7th place in Serie B, is set to face Frosinone Calcio, who are struggling in 19th place. Palermo's recent form has been a mixed bag, but they come into this match with a morale-boosting 1-0 victory against Juve Stabia. The team has been relatively strong at home, having not lost to Frosinone in their last four encounters at the Stadio Renzo Barbera. This venue has historically been a fortress for Palermo, and they will look to capitalize on this advantage.

Frosinone's Struggles

Frosinone Calcio is in a precarious position, having failed to secure a win in their last five matches. Their recent 0-3 loss to FC Sdtirol highlights their defensive vulnerabilities, which Palermo will aim to exploit. Coach Leandro Greco's side has shown glimpses of resilience, but their inconsistency has been a significant issue. With a win rate of just 21.43% under Greco, Frosinone faces an uphill battle.

Key Players and Statistics

Palermo's Roberto Insigne and Joel Pohjanpalo have been instrumental, with Pohjanpalo being the top scorer with 9 goals. Palermo has managed to score in 20 consecutive matches, a testament to their attacking prowess. On the other hand, Frosinone's Giuseppe Ambrosino has been their top scorer with 5 goals, but the team has struggled to find the back of the net consistently, failing to score in 5 of their 17 away matches.

Prediction and Conclusion

Given Palermo's superior home form and Frosinone's defensive frailties, the odds are in favor of a Palermo victory. However, both teams have shown a tendency to concede, making it likely that both will score. Palermo's ability to score consistently, coupled with Frosinone's recent defensive lapses, suggests a home win with both teams finding the net.
