Palermo – AS Roma: 12th March 2017

Sunday at 14:00, Fiorentina will receive the visit of Cagliari, in a match counting for the 28th round of Serie A. The game will take place on the stadium “Artemio Franchi” in Florence.

Small hopes

Palermo deals antepenultima position in Serie A (18) with just 15 points collected in 27 rounds. Thus, his students Diego Lopez still looking for the way out of the “red zone” of the hierarchy, but as the championship progresses towards the end Sicilians let more and more the impression of a band powerless, unable to recover the handicap of seven points against Empoli . This is much less feasible starting match against Rome, taking into account the results recorded by Capitolini bad lately in all competitions.

Spoil the atmosphere

Although everything was going according to plan for Spalletti’s boys just two weeks ago, 16-IMIL defeat in the second leg Europa League has announced the beginning of a series like Grey for Capitolini. Currently ranked the second position in Serie A, “giallorossii” lost in the last round at home against Napoli (1-2), not failure before the first leg of the Italian Cup semifinals, against deadly rivals, Lazio (0 -2). Beats, AS Roma suffered a painful failure again, this time in the Europa League knockout on the ground at Olympique Lyon (2-4). In other words, capitolinii need to pass quickly over this bad pass and move from Palermo seems to be the right occasion for the Romans to win the top three important points in the hierarchy.

Conclusions & tip

Given the circumstances of this game, we expect a normal victory of the guests, motivated to fix the mistakes made in previous parties. Rome is so close to being eliminated in the semifinals of the Italian Cup, and the Europa League knockout, given that Juventus is scaled champion in Italy for the sixth year in a row. Consequently, we anticipate a successful transition of Spalletti’s boys, who will unleash the very first hand.
