Dionisi’s team absolutely wants to put in sixth gear. Yes, Palermo goes into this game perhaps five useful results behind in a row and against Cremonese the dream is to close the gap on the Lombardy team that has a six-point lead. It’s obvious, and without a doubt, that after the January transfer window that brought in one of the best strikers in Serie B, Pohjanpalo from Venezia, the Sicilians are one of the favorites, at least through the playoffs, to reach Serie A.
Cremonese are also going through a delicate period because of what happened with Franco Vasquez. As we know, the player was disqualified for ten matches because of some racist insults he made during the match against Bari. This is a significant loss for the Lombardy team, as the player in question has always been able to change the balance of the game with his skills. He will be absent for some time. And Cremonese could certainly suffer mentally as well, due to the nature of the suspension.
And then there’s the home field factor, which could make the difference in this match. The Barbera has regained the right enthusiasm and the situation is to be considered very important in a high-ranking match like the one on Friday night. So, for all these reasons, we believe it could end like the first match, when Palermo won.
