Palermo, Recent FormA 1-1 draw in their last match against SPAL meant Palermo had to settle for a share of the points. Their share of possession in that meeting was 40%, while racking up 11 shots along the way, 3 of which were on target, in contrast to SPAL, who had 13 shots on goal with 3 on target.
They have circumvented their opponent's defence to score 5 times in their last 6 league games but unfortunately haven't managed to lock things down at their end, conceding 5 goals in these games and, in the process, missing out on some valuable points. With no goals in 4 of their last 6 matches at home, they are showing signs of a problem finding the net at their home ground. With 7 clean sheets so far this season, they have one of the best shut out records in the league.
Having drawn 3 of their last 6 home games they have at least put some points on the board, but they will not be overly happy with only 1 win.
On an individual basis, Matteo Brunori will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 4 goals in Palermo's last 6 league games.
Cagliari, Recent FormCagliari will certainly have been pleased to secure 3 points from their most recent encounter, which saw them run out 3-2 winners in their home fixture against Perugia. They came away from that fixture with a 59% share of the possession and clocked up 23 attempts on goal with 9 on target, in comparison to Perugia, who managed 11 attempts on goal, 4 of which were on target.
It's fair to say that manager Fabio Liverani will be pretty happy with his squad's ability to find the net of late, having scored 9 goals in their last 6 matches. That said, he will also be aware there is still work to do at the back, where they have shipped 9 goals in those same matches as well as some valuable points. With goals notched up in 5 of their past 6 matches, they are certainly showing some goal-scoring consistency of late. They have produced a defensive record this season that they won't be proud of, having conceded at least 1 goal in 14 of their 17 league matches.
Whilst they have only lost 1 of their last 6 games there will be concern over the amount of points dropped with 4 draws from those games. Their away form in the early part of the season has produced an unusually high number of draws, with 4 draws in 8 away league games.
Gianluca Lapadula will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 4 goals in the last 6 league outings for Cagliari.
In the previous league meeting between these two sides, it was Cagliari that came out on top with a 1-3 win.
Palermo will be looking to extend their current run of scoring against Casteddu having scored at least 1 goal in each of their previous 9 meetings.
Palermo has lost the last 2 times they've faced Cagliari in the league.
With no real injury worries, Palermo manager Eugenio Corini will be happy to have his full squad available for selection.
Cagliari manager Fabio Liverani has no real injury worries ahead of this clash.
