Pescara and Palermo have only won seven Serie A games between them this season, making them comfortably the worst two sides in the entire division. The two clubs relegation to Serie B has been long confirmed.
Pescara, who were tipped for relegation at the start of the season, have lived up to expectations, struggling right the way through the 2016/17 Serie A season. Our Pescara vs Palermo preview comes before a game that is likely to have a little excitement with both sides relegated and looking to get the season finished as quickly as possible.
Palermo have only lost once in their last five Serie A fixtures, but it was a case of too little too late for manager Diego Bortoluzzi whose side’s late rally was in vain. Palermo have conceded more than two goals per game on average this season, a statistic that has influenced our Pescara vs Palermo predictions below.
Although Palermo have the second worst defensive record in Serie A this season, they have managed to keep three clean sheets in their last five games.
Don’t expect goals to feature heavily in our Pescara vs Palermo picks – only Empoli have scored fewer Serie A goals this season than Pescara and Palermo. When the sides last met on December 22nd, they couldn’t be separated and finished with a point each after a 1-1 draw at the Stadio Renzo Barbera.
A repeat of that result looks the likeliest outcome of what should be a drab affair in Pescara on Monday.
