Palermo vs Roma: Prediction
Roma’s confidence has taken a huge hit. Three straight losses have seen things go awry for the Giallorossi. The defeat in Serie A means that they’ve lost their grip on second, with Napoli just two points behind. The loss in the Coppa Italia means that they face an uphill battle to knock their cross-town rivals Lazio out of the competition. And their capitulation against Lyon means that they cannot afford to concede at the Stadio Olimpico if they want to have a strong chance of knocking Les Gones out.
Palermo, meanwhile, are also in flummox. Losing to Torino has severely damaged their chances of avoiding the drop, as they could have closed the gap on Empoli. In any case, a very frustrated Roma could end up using the Rosanero, who have won just one home game, as their punching bag as they hope to gear up for a crunch European clash next week.
