Palermo, the best defense in the championship. Pescara is the worst
News: The match between Palermo and Pescara highlights a real abyss, not only geographical but above all technical and mental, between a team that dreams of Serie A and one that is sinking into the nightmare of relegation. The so-called “Pippo’s Wall” represents Inzaghi’s tactical manifesto, capable of transforming the rosanero into an unassailable safe with only nineteen goals conceded in twenty-six matches. This solidity, guaranteed by a 3-4-2-1 formation and by performers such as Joronen, Bani and Ceccaroni, has allowed the club to consolidate fourth place at 51 points. At the opposite is the situation of Pescara, bottom of the table tormented by the worst defense of the tournament with fifty-one goals conceded and just three seasonal successes. Despite the unequal statistical comparison and the fourteen consecutive useful results of the Sicilians, the match hides the typical pitfalls of a “spin”, where Palermo will have to avoid any drop in tension so as not to miss the direct promotion train in the sprint against the top of the class.
