Serie B begins again after the break at the beginning of the year. Palermo hosts Modena at the “Renzo Barbera” in a match valid for the 21st day of the championship. The Rosanero, fresh from a series of negative results, are looking for victory to move up the table. The Canaries also want to redeem themselves after a fluctuating period and return to winning precious points for salvation. The match, scheduled for Sunday 12 January at 3pm, promises entertainment and excitement.
HOW PALERMO ARRIVES – Mr. Dionisi’s Palermo arrives at the match with low morale and the desire to redeem the latest unflattering results. The Rosanero coach should confirm the 3-4-1-2, a formation that has guaranteed greater defensive solidity and offensive danger. Between the posts, championship debut for the expert Sirigu. In defence, Diakitè recovers, while on the flanks the emergency persists due to the absences of Di Mariano and Di Francesco. In attack, space for the Brunori-Le Douaron tandem, supported by Verre in the attacking midfield. “We are aware of Modena’s strength – declared Dionisi – but we want to impose our game and win the three points”.
HOW MODENA ARRIVES – Coach Mandelli’s Modena arrives in Palermo with the desire to do well. Defrel has recovered and will be called up, while Palumbo returns to midfield after his suspension. In defense, full emergency due to the absences of Zaro and Cauz, both disqualified. Caso tries to recover for a starting shirt. “We know it will be a difficult match – said Mandelli – but we are determined to give our best to bring home a positive result”.
