But they have a game in hand as well. Palermo’s record so far shows 13 wins, 12 draws and 5 defeats. Alongside the leader Empoli and the 2nd Frosinone, Palermo are the team with the less amount of losses since the beginning of the campaign.

In their last five matches Palermo are showing an inconsistent form – two wins, two draws and a loss. After suffering a 0-1 defeat during the visit to Perugia, the Sicilians are in a positive run of four consecutive games without a defeat. And they will try to make it five in a row against Carpi.

Speaking of Carpi, they are 9th in the Serie B standings with 44 points, being on par with the 8th Parma. Carpi are almost touching a return to the Top 8 and the playoff zone, so most surely they will try to achieve a positive result against Palermo in Sicily.
