In the last round, Palermo broke a long losing streak and got a long-awaited victory, which allowed them to get very close to the playoff zone. It is obvious that today the Eagles will also count on all three points, the competition for a place in the top eight is off the charts. Cittadella played well in the last matches, but the hosts lack stability, and the Sicilians have a significant advantage in class.
