Palermo vs Cagliari
With only two points separating these two teams in Serie B, Sunday evening's match will be a very competitive one.
Palermo come into this game on the back of a 1-1 draw with SPAL, which saw them extend their unbeaten run in the league to three points. However, Eugenio Corini's men will need to do better to take three points from this game, having won just three of their last 12 matches. As for their record on this pitch, it is not particularly bad, with only one defeat in their last five encounters.
Cagliari, on the other hand, should be full of confidence after their hard-fought 3-2 win over Perugia last weekend, which ended their eight-match winless streak in all competitions. In their games so far this season, their biggest weakness has been their back line, which just doesn't know how to defend.
To provide some further context, the visitors have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last ten matches in all competitions. Given that they also failed to keep a clean sheet in ten of their last twelve away games, it is very unlikely that they will finish Sunday's game without conceding.
Despite the visitors' recent away form, the fact that they have not lost any of their last four matches with Palermo might just give them the boost they need to stay unbeaten for the seventh time in eight games.However, Palermo are expected to score at least one goal, the same as they have done in each of the last eleven meetings between these two sides
