Team News

Palermo
  • Mutti has his usual defence back available, with Munoz, Silvestre and Mantovani all at full fitness.
  • Vasquez may play in midfield, rather than just behind the two strikers, with Ilicic on the left side.
  • Hernandez will play up front with Miccoli, unless Budan is given a chance.
Parma
  • Mariga is the only unavailable player for coach Donadoni, who will pick Morrone in the midfield to replace him.
  • Biabiany and Modesto are favoured over Jonathan and Gobbi to patrol the two flanks, but they may also need some rest during the game.
  • Meanwhile, no rest is planned for Giovinco or Floccari until safety is completely assured.

Prediction

  • Palermo may be at a comfortable distance from the relegation zone, but at the same time they could need a few points more to secure safety, and this may be a good chance to win and avoid any future trouble: at home against a small club, Palermo should prove their strength.
  • Parma are proudly fighting to avoid relegation, and the schedule suggests that they could do with a point here. Donadoni will most certainly go for a draw in Palermo and Lecce.
  • Both teams will have 5 men in the middle of the park, which means that the key to this match will be winning that battle. On the two flanks, Parma have more options and look stronger, so that could be a weakness for the hosts. Both teams will rely on their forwards' flair: Giovinco and Miccoli have all it takes to win such a game, but Parma's defence is more experienced and that could make the difference.
