Palermo’s Barbera struggle: Only 1 point in last 2 matches

Last Updated: October 30, 2023

Al Barbera is struggling. Palermo has only earned one point in their last two home games and a total of seven points in five matches at Viale del Fante. Their recent 1-2 loss to Lecco is their second defeat at home (where 25,799 fans were present), with the first being against Cosenza on September 22. This loss has dropped Palermo to fourth place in the Serie B standings, behind Catanzaro and Venezia. Despite the disappointment, the team’s supporters continue to show their unwavering support. Palermo has been performing exceptionally well in away games, earning 13 points so far, but their home performances have been inconsistent. They have conceded six out of their eight goals in the league at Renzo Barbera. It is unclear whether this is a mental issue or simply a coincidence, but for now, Palermo’s home stadium is no longer an impregnable fortress.
