Palermo vs Fiorentina Preview

Second from bottom Palermo welcome Fiorentina to their home in this game that is more important to the visitors.

Palermo have had a disastrous campaign in the top flight this season, and will most likely spend next season rebuilding themselves in the second division.

They have lost 5 of their last 6 games and the other game ended in a draw.

They have collected only 16 points from 33 games – earning half a point per game on average which is clearly not good enough.

Their home form is nothing to write home about – they have only 1 win from their last 9 home games, losing 5 and drawing the rest.

Fiorentina are currently 8^th in the league table, just 3 points behind 6^th placed AC Milan.

They have won 4 of their last 6 matches, drawing 1 and losing the other.

They have amassed 55 points from 33 games and their hopes of qualifying for the Europa League is over as they are 8 points behind Atalanta who are occupying the last European spot in the league table.

Their recent away form has not been too bad, as they have lost only 1 away game, winning 2 and drawing the remaining 2.
