In the 19th round in Italian Serie A Palermo host AS Roma.
Palermo play very solid this season and after 18 rounds they are standing at the middle of the table. Their recent form is very good. True, Palermo lost against Fiorentina last week 4-3, but it was their first loss in the last 10 matches in Serie A (5-4-1).
Their home performance is very good and it’s not easy for any club to take points in Sicily. Palermo lost only once at home in Serie A this season (5-3-1)
Home team has almost full squad available, except their top scorer Dybala (17/9 f) who is doubtful.
Roma failed to win in the city derby against Lazio (2-2) last week, while Juve beat Napoli, and now Roma have three points less than leader Juventus.
The visitors have to go for a win tonight in order to stay in a race for the title, but it won’t be an easy against very good Palermo.
Things could even worse for the team from Rome, because they have many problems with unavailable players.
Balzaretti (0/0 d), Castan (1/0 d) and Sanabria (0/0 f) are all injured, De Rossi (13/1 m) and Nainggolan (17/3 m) are both out due to suspension, Gervinho (14/2 f) and Keita (14/1 m) are both at African Cup of Nations, while Manolas (15/0 d) and their second top scorer Totti (13/4 f) are both doubtful.
It will be very hard for Roma AS to get all three points, but they will have to attack and it could be very dangerous for them. Two betting tips for this match!
