Palermo-Ternana is a Serie B Week 27 match played on Tuesday at 20:30: odds, predictions, TV and streaming
The home defeat against Cittadella, seven days after the heavy 3-0 loss in the heartfelt Umbrian derby against Perugia, has been a detonator for Ternana.
Last Saturday, at the end of the match against the Venetians, everything happened and the scene was taken by the president Bandecchi, who ended up under the curve to quarrel with a large group of red-green fans. The owner, furious, then continued the show in the press conference and not even the return of Cristiano Lucarelli – recalled in place of the resigning Andreazzoli – seems to be able to appease the discontent of the square. Yet the Fere are there, still two steps away from the playoff zone, which is barely three lengths away. Now it will be up to the Livorno-born coach, who was perhaps exonerated too hastily in the autumn, to get Ternana back on the right track after a great start, but lost along the way. Lucarelli inherits a team in the doldrums, which won its last game a month ago and in the last four days of the championship has collected only two points. Between Ternana and Palermo, the Umbrians’ next opponent, there is a two-point difference, although the Rosanero have taken the opposite route.
After a disappointing start, coach Corini – several times close to being exonerated – seemed to have found the crux of the matter and the turning point came in December. However, following the defeat in Genoa, which interrupted a long unbeaten run, something seems to have broken: Brunori and his team-mates haven’t won for three matches, although in addition to Genoa they faced two teams in great shape like Frosinone and Sudtirol.
Palermo-Ternana: latest line-up news
The main changes to Palermo’s starting line-up will affect the flanks: Valente returns on the right, while on the left one of Masciangelo and Aurelio will take the place of the injured Sala. Elia, Stulac and Graves are also absent. Former Sampdoria player Verre is in doubt.
Palermo fans
In Ternana there is a ballot between Coulibaly and Cassata, in attack Falletti and Palumbo will support Partipilo. Falletti and Donnarumma are unavailable, Proietti is disqualified
The prediction
Palermo haven’t won for three days but have just emerged unscathed from two tricky matches and seem better off than Ternana, who have been conditioned by corporate turmoil and have just had their second change on the bench. A win for the Rosanero is very likely.

- PALERMO (3-5-2): Pigliacelli; Mateju, Nedelcearu, Marconi; Valente, Segre, Gomes, Saric, Aurelio; Brunori, Tutino.
- TERNANA (3-4-2-1): Iannarilli; Diakite, Mantovani, Sorensen; Defendi, Cassata, Di Tacchio, Corrado; Falletti, Palumbo; Partipilo.
