Palermo vs Pisa Prediction & Betting Tips (16 December)

Still in Serie A a few years ago, Palermo experienced sporting and financial setbacks which demoted it to Serie D in 2019. Since then, the Sicilian club has been able to rebuild itself with new investors to start again on a healthy basis. . Today, Palermo is knocking on the door of Serie A and even if the rise is not yet the big declared objective, the Sicilians do not intend to drag on for years in the second division. Currently 8th in the standings, Palermo has experienced a downturn in recent weeks with 4 matches in a row without the slightest success with 2 defeats and 2 draws. Bad results which knocked Eugenio Corini's team out of the top 5 and which require a reaction this weekend in front of their home crowd in order to regain victory. But be careful for Palermo because at home this season, the Palermitans are far from being dominant with 4 defeats in 8 games.

It is therefore with doubts that Palermo will welcome AC Pisa this Saturday in Sicily. 13th at the moment, Pisa is very irregular this season with a consistent start to the season followed by a more complicated period. With only one victory in its last 7 matches, the Tuscan club is marking time and is only 2 points ahead of the red zone. But curiously on the road, Pisa is doing rather well with 3 wins and 2 draws in 7 matches with two defeats. Without pressure when going to Palermo, Pisa could defy the predictions, as often away from home this season.

Witnessing goals at both ends has proven to be quite unusual in top-flight fixtures in which Palermo are the home team, with this being the case in just five of their previous 19 matches. What’s more, title-chasing Pisa clearly know how to keep clean sheets, managing to do so in 11 of their most recent 17 games at the top table of the Serie B.
