Genoa – Palermo PREDICTION & PREVIEW (18.12.2016)

Serie A match between Genoa and Palermo.

The Genoa is thirteenth with 20 points, to 11 of the positions of descent. Take home a balance of 3 wins and 4 draws.

Palermo, last, with 6 points, is to 5 of the salvation. It has a balance of 4 losses, 3 draws and 1 victory.

Genoa will play today at 20:00 a postponed match of the league against Fiorentina so they will probably get somewhat more tired to Sunday’s game.

We predict that it will be a rather disputed party with favoritism for Genoa; Perhaps not as exaggerated as the quotas mark. We think that Genoa will advance in the marker (share 1.57) and from there it will be when the Palermo comes up because it has no more left. As the game advances the tiredness of the locals should be noted giving more possession to Palermo and therefore more corners.

The local average a 50.7% of possession in its stadium, whereas, the Palermo, a 49% at home. Therefore, we believe that there will be no local domain at all.
In fact, for being the last, the Palermo does not present bad statistics of possession of the ball.

Right now, the Palermo is in very limit situation. They should go out to bite and leave the skin. We believe it will be this way (another thing is that they win). On the contrary it is the situation of the Genoa, to 11 points of the descent and to 11 points of European positions, they are in an area of ​​quite tranquility by both sides.

Now let’s go through the statistics of both:

The Genoa average 3.71 and fits 3.86 corners per game, being the second team with less corners thrown in their respective stadium. Of the 7 matches played, in 6 of them we would have the green.
The only red would be against Cagliari where they averaged an absurd 68% of possession of the leather.

For its part, Palermo averages 4.63 corners and fits 5.25 corners per game. Of the 8 matches played as a visitor, we would get the green in 6 of them.

For all this, we see the exaggerated handicap +2.5 in favor of Palermo.
We also find it interesting that the “Palermo pulls more corners”; 4.33 share in Bet365.

Luck !
