Palermo are on a good run of form in Serie C Group C ahead of Wednesday’s visit from Taranto. As it stands, Palermo are in the Serie C Group C playoffs. Just five matches remain in the regular season before the marathon playoffs begin.
Taranto are 15th in the league standings and are eight points off of the playoff positions. The team is not in good form ahead of the match with each of their last six games in Serie C Group C finishing without a win.
Palermo took nine points from the last 18 points available in the division. They outscored their last six opponents 11-8. Each of Palermo’s last three games finished as draws.
Taranto, on the other hand, are the league’s bottom club in terms of form. They took a mere two points from the last 18 points on offer in the division. Taranto scored just two goals across those six games while conceding eight times.
Earlier this season, these teams met for the first time in 20 years. Taranto shocked Palermo with a 3-1 home win.
Taranto’s Andrea Saraniti and Francesco Benassai scored in the opening 57 minutes to put the team into the lead.
Palermo’s Alberto Almici pulled a goal back, but teammate Edoardo Lancini was sent off on 78 minutes. Taranto’s Aboubakar Diaby scored a third on 90 minutes.
The Rosanero go into the midweek match with Taranto as Serie C Group C’s second-best home team.
Palermo have picked up 38 points from 16 games to far this season. They are the only team in the division not to suffer a home loss.
Just seven goals have been allowed by Palermo at home this term. Meanwhile, the team has scored 33 goals.
Taranto have picked up just 10 points on the road from 15 away games. Their last five games on the road in Serie C Group C ended without wins. Taranto have conceded 24 times and scored 11 goals on the road in 2021-22.
Palermo have been excellent at home this season and their home form should continue on Wednesday versus Taranto. The Rosanero may have lost their previous fixture versus Wednesday’s opponents, but this time, they should claim a win with over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring.
The previous fixture between these clubs ended with more than 2.5 goals and both teams scoring. It should happen once more.
